Act 11 The Will of the Two Sides

The light in the temporarily occupied hall was bright and dim, and the candle flames were deliberately reduced, and the dim light dragged down deep nicks on the texture of the wood.

The remote corner was quiet, and the air was filled with a strong breath.

Everyone here is not too used to the bright firelight, but as long as the pale middle-aged man with an eye patch at the top doesn't speak, everyone else doesn't dare to make mistakes at will.

Sophie's words here may be able to recognize this person, because his face has hardly changed from more than ten years later: this is the deputy of 'Black Lord' Instaron, the vampire baron, 'One-eyed' Tagus. He is a member of the Man Rhein family, the fourteenth generation of vampires, and the younger generation. However, compared to his seniority in the Madara Army, he is far more profound than the young Instaron.

But it doesn't matter, this is just the beginning of the cooperation between them——

Tagus watched the skeleton soldiers take out the documents from the library one by one. After a while, he turned his head and asked the corpse witch beside him, "Tell me, what did Roscoe keep you here to report? ?"

"Respected General Tagus, my master found a scout in that manor." The corpse witch lowered her head and replied in a dry voice.

"So what?" He glanced at it, his eyes back on the spread out tactical map.

"He escaped."

There were a few disdainful sneers around.

The vampire general raised his head, and the subtle voice subsided immediately. He paused, then said, "I see, Roscoe is doing well. But I hope it's better, so he doesn't get distracted by the sidelines - I'm going to see him before noon. to the Forest of Belledor."

The corpse witch nodded respectfully and withdrew.

But just after it left, there was a discordant voice in the conference room. This time, it was a tall skeleton who was shrouded in an old brass armor, and the dark yellow flames in his eyes flashed with anger:

"Lord Tagus, maybe humans have discovered our intentions, that scout-"

It opened its mouth, but suddenly no sound came out of its leaking jaw. Because it saw that Tagus was staring at him with the only eye left, which made it subconsciously shut up.

There was a low chuckle all around, and the sarcasm contained in it made the fire in his eyes flash with chagrin.

"Kabais."

"Yes!" The tall skeleton immediately answered with his chest out.

"You go and take this place." Tagus pointed to a village on the map.

"Before sunrise," he pointed to the roof again, "I want to see the result—"

"Yes, Lord Tagus."

"Wessa, Ebton."

"Yes!" replied in unison,

"You go and attack Webbin and block the Dagger Beach."

"Yes, Lord Tagus."

"Crow's mouth."

"exist!"

"Give you two squads, search and clear this area."

"Yes!"

Tagus raised his head and swept over everyone coldly: "You are all nobles in the dark, we want to see you carry out my every order gracefully and swiftly, meticulously. Ridenberg, this is our subordinate. a goal."

He took the lead and stood up, put his pale hand on his left shoulder, and said, "Madala will win—"

All the undead stood tall and responded in a deep voice: "Madala will win—"

Tagus lowered his head and his eyes fell back to the map again. He first saw the red pine forest south of Butch, then moved up to Green Village, Belledor Woods, then Riedenburg—and continued up, the Valley of the Spire.

Human scouts? He smiled coldly.

...

And at the same moment, when the full moon reflects on the top of the pine forest.

There is no wolf howling in the mountains of Yusong,

However, there was a wind in the black pine forest, and the cold wind passed through the branches of the trees like light smoke. The young men of Butch had never spent the night outside, and the foggy darkness in the forest always made them suspicious, as if every shadow was a terrifying monster.

But a voice calmed their hearts—

"Press this position."

"Yes, it is."

"water--"

"Give me a bandage."

"Press it."

Finally finished, Sophie wiped a sweat and let out a long breath.

He was relieved when he saw a light green +2 emerge from the young man's body.

After the first aid skill reaches the primary level (level 0), the healing effect of the dressing will naturally increase. This book is no different from the game, but every place that has been confirmed in Sophie's memory reassures him a lot.

How to clean wounds, prevent infection, stop bleeding, bandage and what to pay attention to details, tips, he guides Markmi and Niberto through it all. Of course, he himself has no physical strength to operate, and his own weakness is only a little better than the unconscious Qiao Sen.

And when Niberto completed the last step at his prompt, Sophie looked up, only to find that everyone was staring at him dumbfounded.

specialized.

There is only one comment in their minds.

Even Little Phoenix turned his head and said solemnly to Freya who was behind: "Miss, it seems that your technique is quite inferior compared to—"

As for Freya, standing at the edge of the crowd, her face was like water.

Sure enough, he was looking for an excuse to get close to him before, shameless person! She couldn't help coming to a conclusion in her heart, and she looked at Roman with some worry, but saw the latter was counting the spoils on the ground with a smug look on his face.

This damn girl.

But God is pitiful, only Sophie knows that all of his knowledge comes from the skill of 'First Aid'. Only when he recalls this skill in the list, these knowledges are presented in his memory one by one. In the memory of young people, most of the primary field first aid knowledge comes from the first three sections of the book "Gerson's Holy Cross", which mainly describes the techniques of dressing. Sophie happened to know Gerson in the game, the current Grand Priest of Braggs.

The content of this book was as if he had seen it himself, as if he had read it hundreds of times. The feeling of being handy is like opening a plug-in to learn rescue techniques.

It's a pity that there is a price to pay for opening a plug-in——

On the other hand.

Sophie quickly learned that there were actually ten members of Butch's militia 3rd detachment, including Freya, followed by Markmi, Essen, Ike and Little Phoenix who were familiar with him.

Then there are Niberto and Vlad, who are not very open to speaking. The two brothers' families are mountain people who migrated from the Bora area. They have inherited the taciturn nature of the locals, and they love doing things more than talking.

After that was Qiao Sen, but the latter was unconscious and had little chance of waking up.

Then there's the dreaming merchant lady, and the girl who was with her. Sophie later found out that it was the daughter of the baker in town, but she was a little shy, not as generous as the other two ladies.

The girl's name is Bertha, she's gentle, but at least she's a good girl with a good heart.

This is all the people Sophie needs to deal with. They seem to be very good young people, but Sophie knows that this is a newcomer in a group of newcomers, and she has no idea what they will face next.

So he thought for a while before asking, "What are your plans?"

The next moment the smile on the individual's face disappeared, and there was silence in exchange.

"Let's go to Ridenburg." After a while, Essen suggested.

"That's right, Captain Madden and the others will definitely go there." Ike echoed.

As expected, but Sophie shook her head.

He looked up at these young people, and what he saw on their faces was silence and uncertainty about tomorrow. Even though Freya looked a little better, the pale knuckles of the knuckles gripping the hilt betrayed her true feelings.

Only Roman replied rightfully: "I'm with Brando."

The answer made Sophie both angry and funny. However, the straightforwardness of the businessman made people feel good, and the young man paused and said, "Well, I agree with you on one point - the most important thing for us at the moment is to get out of here."

"That means there is disagreement, right?" Freya asked.

Sophie nodded: "Does anyone have a map?"

Everyone looked at each other, who would have such a thing? Although they are militias, in most cases the militias are also under the command of the local garrison. To put it bluntly, they are just a reserve team.

And Sophie also realized her blunder. Carrying a map without the authorization of the temple in Eru will be treated as a spy. He always puts himself into the identity of a traveler, forgetting that he is now a member of this world.

And here, there are no more players.

"The garrison seems to have one..." Macmi stammered behind the crowd.

Sophie shook her head, thinking that you are not talking nonsense. He sighed and turned back to the merchant lady beside him and said, "Roman, give me a sword."

"Okay, Brando."

Sophie took the sword and drew two lines on the soft ground.

"This is the Wechsler River, this is the Yusong River."

He tapped between the two rivers with the tip of his sword: "This is Buqi, this is Qingcun, and this is Weibin."

He just sketched an outline with a few simple strokes, but it opened the eyes of young people once again. After all, in this era, few people have such an understanding of the world as him——

"Isn't that Three Towns?" Bertha couldn't help covering her mouth.

"It's amazing, it turns out that we are like this here." Ike looked at Sophie with some admiration.

"Is Butch here?"

"Brando, how did you know?" Everyone asked in a rush. After all, he was a young man, so he couldn't hold back his temperament.

Sophie shook her head.

Just kidding, he doesn't even recognize the newbie villages in the three towns, so he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill him. Of course, the answer can't be like this. He deliberately asked: "Have you not learned, tactical map?"

Tactical map? what is that?

Everyone was at a loss. Martha was on top. Do the Braggs militia even have to learn this?

For a while, the guys couldn't help being a little blindly revered.

However, our protagonist laughed in his heart, this is something that even low-ranking non-commissioned officers in the regular army can't master, it's only strange that the militia can learn it. But of course he would not expose himself in person, but clicked on the place where the two rivers meet:

"This is Ridenberg."

"Ah, is this Ridenberg?" Roman asked curiously.

"What's the matter?" Sophie clearly heard the laughter coming from the surroundings, and he couldn't help looking up and asked.

"That's it, Big Brother Brandon. When Roman was a child, he envied Ridenburg so much that he was a businessman, and he was clamoring to be a businessman every day. Once she ran out and said she wanted to go to Ridenburg to do big business, and the result-- "Little Phoenix not only surrendered to the enemy and treason immediately, but also sold it.

The people around couldn't help but chuckle.

"What happened?" Sophie asked.

"Haha, she got lost in the forest on the way, and Uncle Sear went to find her later." Little Phoenix laughed.

"No, that's not the case." Roman's eyebrows were raised.

Sophie glanced at the future merchant lady and couldn't help thinking that it seemed that she didn't learn enough lessons.

"Okay, let's get back to the point. Why do you guys want to go to Riedenburg?" He collected his emotions and continued.

"There's an army there."

"Captain Madden, they're definitely going there."

"So does my uncle." Everyone started talking again, but the meaning was the same. They each had their own relatives. Although they were separated for a while, maybe they would go to Ridenberg, so why not go to Ridenburg? What about the fort?

This answer made Sophie somewhat unable to refute it. This is also normal. Who would leave their relatives behind? But he also knew that those who escaped from Buqi would most likely be overtaken by Madara's army. And now to Ridenberg, it can only be a self-inflicted trap.

Sophie knew very well that at this time, they had to march in parallel with the "Death" Kabais, and then staggered it into the Belledor Forest, and then waded across the Dagger Beach before Ebdon and Wesa were encircled. From there, they would enter the Deer Hunting Forest, rub Instalong's main force to Anzek and inform the local garrison of Instalong's flanking Gusta Division's advance plan.

Only in this way can these people be preserved, and Eruin will not lose as badly as in history.

But how is he going to speak?

Forget it, it’s still the old rule, take it one step at a time. He rubbed his heavy forehead and said, "Alright, we can head towards Ridenberg first and decide what to do next depending on the situation."

Then he raised his head, just in time to meet Freya's worried look, the girl obviously didn't believe his words.

"Mr. Brando?"

"It's nothing, it's just a judgment. Maybe the situation will change." He smiled at the girl. But having said that, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The reality is cruel, and it is up to him, who is still weak in strength, to choose. Of course, if there is a chance, he will definitely find a way to try it once.

Otaku, so naive.

He couldn't help laughing at himself—

...

(PS. The grades are not going up, hey.)
