Act 177 Crystal Woodland

"Lord Earl, I promised my old buddy to help him take care of Sebastian. I am still a man, so I have to keep my promise. Now that Sebastian is gone, I know this damn fog is very strange, and you don't have any Obligation, but I want to leave alone and go to the place where I was yesterday. Even if I lose my life, I can at least give an explanation to my old buddy.【】"

Na Xin frowned, obviously ready to say something, and said these words as soon as he saw Brando. He carried a bow, put on a smuggler's outfit, a turban, and a pair of moccasin boots, with a dark dagger hanging on his waist.

"Where is that place?" Brando asked.

"Sebas said he saw a forest in the mist. When I was young, I heard the legend of the ghosts who lost their names. I told him to be quiet. Besides, where was the forest in the mist? I remember that place, I If you go alone, it only takes half a day to arrive."

"Did he go in?"

"No, Sebas disappeared at night. At about ** o'clock, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He talked to me about the woods. He complained that I didn't tell you about the woods. He said that I didn't tell you about the woods. Reference, maybe we don't have to go around in this fog. But he is still a young man, how can he have any insight, and he doesn't understand that some things cannot be said casually. I scolded him and told him to stop thinking about it and go to sleep. He didn't Promise me, I'll turn around - where is his shadow in the tent?"

Na Xin's throat trembled, showing a look of fear: "I was afraid that he would go out alone and do something stupid. At that time, I thought he had left the tent, but when I chased him out, I only saw him in the mist. The back in the middle, Lord Earl, there is at least a hundred yards away from my tent. I have never taught that child Sebastian martial arts. He will never be able to run that far in the blink of an eye. I shouted to him desperately. name, but he turned a deaf ear and went straight into the mist as if he were crazy."

"I put on my coat and chased after him, but before I could get closer, I felt someone hit me from behind... When I woke up again, it was already morning."

Brando comforted him: "Don't worry, Mr. Naxin, we may not help you. Sebastian has been missing all night. You might as well stay and wait. You are an insider, maybe We could use your help."

"But, sir..."

"It doesn't matter, we are just going around in this fog anyway. What Sebas said may not be wrong. Since someone has also seen the forest in the fog, it means that it at least existed."

He turned back: "Did those missing sailors also see the woods?"

Delphine nodded: "At least three people have mentioned woods or similar words to others. The situation there is similar to Sebas, but the sailors think they were confused by ghosts in the fog."

"You saw it. Mr. Naxin," Brando turned back and said to Naxin: "Now the things behind the fog have leaked out. You just said you know that place, can you take us there? ?”

"grown ups……?"

"Don't worry, we are a team now, today it is Sebas, tomorrow it may not be every one of us. Instead of wasting time aimlessly here, it is better to seize the clues in front of us. What do you think? "Brando comforted him.

Naxin was in awe. He bent down and bowed deeply to the earl from Eruin.

Brando turned around and said to Medisha: "Go and tell Instaron. Let him spread out the skeleton soldiers and form a reconnaissance formation. We will return along the original path and search again until we find the area. As far as the woods.”

The little silver elf princess nodded, indicating that she understood. She asked again: "Besides, is there anything else I need to tell you?

Lord? "

Brando thought for a while, stopped her and said: "Tell him to divide the skeleton soldiers into small teams. Each team will be equipped with two corpse witches instead of one. There must be an intermediate corpse witch among them. The intermediate corpse witch is only responsible for the communication between the squads, and the center of the squad is still the lower-level corpse witch."

This was the most classic military structure of the previous Madara that lasted until the Year of Astrology after the Second Black Rose War, and its effectiveness was naturally proven by later generations.

He originally didn't want to reveal this secret, but then he thought that what limited it was actually the limited number of middle-level undead in the Dead Moon Empire. Before they found a more effective way to transform the undead, this military structure would be very important to Eruin. The threat is not as great as that of a genius general like Instaron himself.

However, for Instaron and Tagus, this little secret is extremely valuable. At least some of the undead that are efficiently organized can still be obtained by the new generation of dark nobles like them who have the support of traditional forces. .

"But I hope you don't let me see it on the battlefield in Eruin in this way, otherwise you will be in trouble." Brando couldn't help but think in his heart as he looked at Medisa's walking back.

The Undead abandoned this traditional organizational method after the Year of Astrology, naturally due to its own flaws. It was the most efficient and even refreshing method of formation for the Dead Moon Empire in this era, but in the future it will Looking at the past, it is not difficult to find the negligence of predecessors.

"The teacher is a true gentleman." After hearing what Brando said to Na Xin, Huang Huo couldn't help praising Mr. Liu beside him: "Even in Jiufeng, it is rare to see such an outstanding person."

"Knights like Mr. Brando are indeed not common, Miss Huanghuo." Mr. Liu also agreed. He sighed: "The key is that he is still so young, and he seems to have some understanding of how the undead are organized. I haven’t been to Warend in more than ten years, and I didn’t expect that such a character would appear there.”

Huang Huo nodded slightly.

Instaron and Tagus are naturally knowledgeable people. If they were a stubborn old-school undead lord, Medissa would point out the method of arranging skeleton soldiers, and might even be dismissive of the matter of the undead. When is it an elf's turn to step in?

But the two best partners in Madara's history saw the value of Brando's advice at a glance. After Medisha left, the two couldn't help but look at each other, and each saw the other's eyes. Deep sense of surprise:

A noble Earl of Eruin actually understands the organization of the undead better than these traditional dead moon nobles, and can further propose ways to improve it. Both of them have generally good minds, and naturally understand that Brando, as their opponent, dares to tell them this method, and is not afraid that they will use it on the battlefield of Eruin in the future.

This at least shows that the opponent is not one step ahead of them, but two or even more steps.

Instalong was the first to sigh:

"This Lord Earl is becoming more and more important in my heart, old man. If I was a little bit indifferent before, now I really want him to join us. He will definitely become the most shining person under the dead moon. Even Tarig can't compare to him on that star, but this is a stubborn guy, Targus, is there anything you can do?"

Tagus thought for a while, as if he had seriously considered this issue, but in the end he shook his head slightly: "Unless His Majesty is willing to compromise on the issue of Eruin, this Earl seems to have a certain interest in that ancient kingdom. Some kind of obsession, you should notice his hostility towards us, he knows exactly what we want to do."

"It is this kind of wisdom that can see into the future," Instalong couldn't help but feel a little helpless: "At this time, I hope that this Earl is one of those greedy old guys. They can sell anything for profit, and they never talk about it. Loyalty and honor only concern power and status.”

"Leave it to Your Majesty to make the decision. This Earl is not as tough as you think. At least in Eruin, he is not the same as the royal party that supports the royal family. Do you know why he let the prince go? Because Tonigel didn't want to Stand on the cusp of the storm.”

If Brandor heard what Tagus said here, he would be surprised by this vampire's deep understanding of the situation in Eruin, but letting the eldest son go had nothing to do with him - it was the decision of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Although he only realized later that it was Griffith's way of protecting him. After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess also had some political skills.

After the skeleton soldiers were spread out to form a scout team according to Brando's method, it didn't take long before news came back from the front that something had been discovered.

To be precise, I discovered a forest.

But there was something unusual about the woods.

When Brando arrived there, he saw a 'forest' standing in the fog. But it was a crystal forest. Crystals grew in clusters on the ground. The soil was completely crystallized, reflecting bright light.

When Naxin walked with him to the crystal forest, he was almost stunned and murmured: "How is it possible... is this the forest that Sebas saw...?"

"is it here?"

"Yes...yes..." Na Xin looked around: "That's right here. There is a mound over there. I remember it very clearly. We passed by that mound at that time. Sebastian said he saw There is a forest on the left, but I swear to Lady Martha, when we passed here yesterday, there was absolutely nothing here!"

"How big is it here?"

Brando turned around and asked.

"Instar Dragon sent two small groups of skeleton soldiers to advance east and west along the outer edge of the forest. They haven't seen the end yet. It's been almost a quarter of an hour." Delphine replied.

...To be continued.
