Act 151 Dawn(4)
Grudin stood on the terrace with a stiff face, watching the dots of torches converging towards that point in the darkness. Ever since he heard that the damn Viscount Gunstine had come back to fight again, he felt regretful and afraid. What he regretted was why he didn't follow the advice of his confidants and force the other party to stay that afternoon, but he looked forward and backward and missed the opportunity.
But besides regret, he was more afraid. Although he knew clearly that Madara's generals were in the city, and knew that those skeletons would never allow him to die here - even so, he still instinctively felt a kind of fear gripping his heart.
It was like a sharp sword hanging high, and you could feel the slightest chill above your head.
He couldn't help but touch the wound on his cheek. Although his face was calm, there was a cold feeling in his heart. He always thought of Brando's cold eyes when he looked at him, and the words he left coldly:
"Keep your dog's head and pick it up another day."
I just didn’t expect that this coming day would really only be one day old.
The baron turned around.
Behind him stood a strange guest silently. The latter was dressed in black mail and covered under a long, black wing-like cloak. He also wore a dark metal mask, leaving only A pair of bright golden eyes below.
He held a huge scythe in his sharp metal gloves and carried it on his shoulder, always looking into the distance with a calm expression.
If Brando were here, he would notice the silver scale painted on this person.
Among the many generals in Madara, only one has such an emblem.
Black Knight, Judge Bai Tiamas Qiu Yue.
One of Madara’s Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse——
However, unlike White Knight Alberton and Red Knight Thunderios, White Tiamas Qiu Yue was already in a high position before the first Black Rose War. He was Tagus' deputy.
There are many legends about him in past games, but the true identity of most of the players are most concerned about. According to legend, no living person has ever seen the face hidden under the Black Knight's mask.
Of course, there is some element of rumor in this sentence, because even the dead people and players of Madara have never been seen before.
Facing Baron Grudin's flickering eyes, the Black Knight smiled slightly: "Lord, you don't have to worry.
Our army will arrive soon—"
His voice was slightly chilling, but it had a neutral charm.
"But I heard that the Viscount went there alone. Although he has great courage, he lacks wisdom. He is no more than a gold medal in strength. Kabasi alone can easily deal with it."
"When the time comes, whether you want to kill or behead me, it's up to you, sir."
When he said this, he thought in his heart: Is the enemy this time the young man who deflated Magus the 'Death Maggot'?
I would like to meet him once.
Baron Grudin snorted coldly on the side, knowing that Madara was still unwilling to get involved in the dispute between the Eruin nobles. However, he did not dislike the other party's proposal.
When he thought of the trouble Brando had brought to him, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and preparing a precise feast for the viscount.
Death is not that simple.
…
The battle in the city is heating up, and the offensive front formed by the mercenaries is rushing along the streets——
After Medissa took the lead, Brando followed closely behind, holding Funya's hand. The young man led the little girl forward step by step on the battlefield of thousands of troops. Occasionally, a noble private soldier crossed the defense line and approached the young knight commander. The other party was often surprised as to why the other party was so unguarded. , but he got the answer immediately.
The young man with a cold face knocked his sword away with a wave of his hand - or simply swept the sword into countless steel pieces - and then pierced his chest with another sword.
The whole process doesn't even take a second.
The heart is still beating, but the wound has become frosty. The long sword seemed to suddenly appear on the chest, and most of the noble private soldiers fell on their backs with expressions of disbelief.
Brando drew his sword, pushed the cold body away, and fell to the ground - and then he continued forward. Funya looked a little pale next to him, but she still held his hand tightly.
At that time, Brother Brando also saved her from those noble cavalry with such a cold look. Yes, there are also Sister Antitina and others, they are all good people, because only bad people will hurt everyone.
Brother Brando's enemies are all bad people.
Simple logic took root in Funya's young mind.
Brando wiped a few blood stains on her forehead. He turned back and looked up: he was very close to the Fir Castle, but half an hour had passed - time was still tight, but the other party would definitely continue to let them do this. Singing and marching forward.
Madara's undead should have appeared.
The young lord turned back and looked around, and soon he found what he was looking for among Grudin's private soldiers; not the imaginary skeleton soldiers or pale riders, but zombies.
The seven-headed zombies were hiding among the private soldiers of the nobles and were approaching this direction quickly. Their movements were so secretive that no one, including Medissa, noticed the murderous intention hidden under the surface. After all, the Silver Elf Princess was most familiar with The enemy is not just these skeletons——
It's a pity that in Brando's eyes, these things' supposedly secretive actions are as eye-catching as sneaking forward on a deserted street. Young people are too familiar with them.
It's less than ten meters.
The eyes of the zombies were flashing with green light, and they were about to explode and hurt people at the next moment.
Brando immediately handed Funia to Kerencia who was standing aside. When the middle-aged mercenary leader was stunned, he stepped out of the crowd.
The charging skill is activated instantly.
Everyone could barely see an afterimage sweeping past, and then a series of seven swords, flying like falling snow. Before the movement was fixed, everyone heard seven cracks like breaking leather.
Then the scene in front of him changed from stillness in an instant, and the visual illusion widened the time difference. The seven incomplete zombies were already scattered in the air like garbage, flying backwards from where they came.
There were seven sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the noble private soldiers below had fallen to the ground.
As soon as Brando stopped his offensive and swung his sword back, he was already standing at the front of all the mercenaries. At that moment, everyone was slightly suffocated. Although they had already known that this young nobleman was at the gold level, they still couldn't help but feel fascinated when they saw him taking action without reservation.
It was as if he paused there.
The momentum of thousands of troops was suddenly halted by this.
And it was at this time that a Crusader executioner among the noble private soldiers suddenly rose up. The behemoth roared lowly, holding an ax in both hands as if it suddenly rose from the ground. With a loud bang, the stone slabs on the street fell. With the cracks and sand flying, this terrifying monster has opened up a group of more than ten noble private soldiers in front of him, and swung an ax like Brando.
Brando looked at this thing motionless. He remembered that a few months ago, he was chased all over the place by the same thing in the auction house in Prague, but at this moment, the movement of this thing was in his mind. It seemed like a slow-motion replay in his eyes.
The young man believed that he could tear the opponent apart with just one sword strike.
But he didn't move.
A silver spear had passed over his shoulder from behind, and in the blink of an eye, the pointed spindle-shaped spear had knocked back the giant axe.
It didn't just repel it, but caused it to break completely, and the entire ax blade flew far away with a metallic clang. Then it fell into the crowd in the distance, causing a scream.
The mercenaries stopped, looked up at the behemoth, and each took a breath of air.
Although they had known that Madara's undead were in the city, they still couldn't help but feel timid when they saw these legendary monsters with their own eyes.
But the tall Crusader Executioner was also at a loss. He looked at the double-edged ax that was broken in his hand and only had a long handle, and then looked at the little silver elf girl standing between him and the young man. There was a hole in the black hole. The fire of the soul flashed slightly in his eyes.
"Lord." Medissa frowned. She was also an undead herself, and the aura of the undead felt familiar to her, but the pure murderous intent in the other party also made the silver elf girl feel even more uncomfortable.
Brando did not answer her words.
The young man turned back and looked in a certain direction on the battlefield. When he saw the shadow move, he snorted coldly, threw his right hand forward, and the black steel sword in his hand suddenly shot out in that direction like a black lightning bolt——
‘Dang’ a metallic tremble——
The black steel sword seemed to hit a wall of air, and a cloud of sparks flew away, then spun and flew backwards. It hit the ground three times and slid for a long distance before stopping.
The young man kept his eyes still. He saw the air flowing little by little, as if a layer of translucent black mist was dissipating, and then a tall skeleton holding a battle ax and wearing a brass armor was revealed behind him.
The pale yellow flames in Kabasi's black eyes were beating, and he stared at Brando motionless.
The battle ax raised in its hand had a deep notch on it, which was obviously where it had collided with the black steel sword. But Brando didn't expect that a dignified deputy general of Madara could use an ordinary battle axe.
He raised an eyebrow.
At this moment everyone stopped.
No matter whether they were private soldiers or mercenaries, they all stopped and gaped at the skeleton general who suddenly appeared——
Thanks to the Black Rose War, although the name of 'Death God' Kabasi has not spread throughout the entire territory of Eruin, it has become a household name at least among the top brass of Eruin and the entire southern territory.
In particular, there are not many senior generals from the skeleton class in Madara's undead army, but this dark lord is the only skeleton general who also has the title of 'Cunning'.
And its impressive brass armor from the Cruzrek Dynasty three centuries ago made these people recognize its identity at a glance.
"Ka...Kabaisi..."
"...Madara's undead general..."
"Why are you here..."
The whispers swept across the entire battlefield like a black tide, and like a gust of cold and biting wind, everyone's movements stopped.
Suddenly, both sides stopped fighting in unison.
"That rumor is indeed true," Kabasi didn't care about everything happening around him. The tall skeleton general's eyes flashed with soul fire, and he looked at Brando: "You are proficient in black magic..."
Brando sneered.
"It's just a dark curtain, just superficial." The young man said tit for tat.
But he was secretly paying attention to his surroundings. The dark curtain blessed by Kabasi is not simple, and it does not look like the work of ordinary corpse witches. He felt instinctively that Roscoe was nearby.
"Who are you, young man?" Kabasi asked, his voice hoarse and low: "The trick of the copper dragon Leto can fool you ignorant nobles, but it cannot fool me. ——”
"You're their true leader, right?"
"And you were the one who led the refugees from Rydenburg to break out from the siege of the adults, right?"
"Young commander," Kabasi raised his head and cracked his jaw with a silent smile: "I have wanted to see you for a long time. On this battlefield-"
As soon as this statement came out.
There were gasps all around.
