Act 13 Brando's Beginning

Don't go to Qingcun?

That's impossible, Brando knows something, which will have a great impact on his future plans. So whether to stock up on food or to test the idea, he had to make a trip to the village that might have been occupied by Madara.

So he thought about it for a while, and asked in a leisurely manner: "I'm not going, do you know how to start? Sneaking and searching are not things that are taken for granted, and require careful planning and prior investigation."

Sneaking and searching used to be the forte of those who put in a lot of training in the shadows, such as nightingales and hunters. As a soldier, Brando doesn't know much about them, but after all, he has formed teams and missions with these people, and he can be much stronger than these militiamen based on such memory alone.

Freya shook her head. It's not that she doesn't understand, but Brando's injury is too serious: "You can tell us what to do, please leave the rest to us-"

Brando was not surprised by Freya's refusal. He knew that at this time he had to choose the persuasion method he was good at. For example, the wisdom of a senior soldier: "Roman."

"exist!"

"Give me your sword." He spread his hands aside.

"No, Brando." Roman held the sword in both hands and handed it to him confidently.

"thanks."

Brando took the sword, took a breath and tried his best to adjust his state to the best. He is in a weak state below 40% health, and the carrion poison makes him unable to flexibly use the other 20% of his power. In other words, the power he can use is only 0.6 energy levels at most.

About the same as a fourteen-year-old boy.

"There is not much time. In order to prove that I am capable of participating in this expedition, we might as well use an ancient and traditional method to decide." He drew his sword: "The way of conversation between warriors."

Our protagonist looks around and sees that everyone looks like they have heard it wrong. Masha is on top, Freya is the best swordsman in this phase of Butch's militia, and even Essen is her defeat.

Dude, do you really know how bad you are now? Invariably, they raised such a question in their minds.

"Brando, don't joke." Freya said angrily. She is quite confident in her swordsmanship. If Brando defeated her in this state—does he think he is a veteran of the November War?

Brando didn't say a word, and only used the long sword to show a 'please' gesture.

The ponytail girl was so angry that her eyes almost went black. She thought that there should be a limit to whether you live or die, but it seems that the truth is not what she thought. She bit her silver teeth and made up her mind to use reality to teach Brando a lesson.

Freya straightened her sword, a vertical slash without even thinking about it. Her basic skills are very good, the sword is very stable, with a thin blade wind.

Brando countered the sword and blocked, and the huge force in the response from the sword almost dislocated his wrist. However, he immediately leveled the blade and slashed it against Freya's blade; the young man's strength was not great, but Freya was startled - because she hadn't entered the attack range, the opponent The sword was about to reach her gauntlet.

Although not reconciled, the female captain of the ponytail only returned without success.

In fact, it is not wrong for her to suffer a loss. Brando's move is very famous in the swordsmanship of warriors. It comes from Cruz's swordsmanship in battle, which is called Cato reverse cut in the game. This is high-level fighting swordsmanship. Although Brando can only rely on the original swordsmanship of this body to draw a gourd and perform it, it is enough to deal with a half-toned swordsman like Freya.

Brando remembered that he also learned this trick from a mercenary after traveling thousands of miles back then, at the cost of two barrels of Madara's bone wine.

These two barrels of bone wine seem to be worth it now.

Freya stepped back,

In response to Brando's follow-up attack, she clenched her teeth with both hands and pressed the opponent's sword to one side. She responded quickly, but she wasn't smart enough. Because Brando had already stepped back, and when she reacted, the long sword in his hand was already pointed at her chest.

Freya gritted her teeth, slammed the tip of Brando's sword with her backhand with the hilt, and then pursued with a sword. But in Brando's case, this sword was out of the way. It was only because he refused to admit defeat. He knocked lightly, and the opponent fell to the ground because he lost his center of gravity.

dusty.

"Looks like I convinced you." Brando withdrew his sword and replied lightly.

Freya raised her head with disbelief on her face.

It's not just her, the nine members of the Butch militia team present, except for Roman who is still natural, no one is not showing dull eyes. Is that still militia swordsmanship? Compared to those veterans in the regular legion, it's no different, right?

"how come?"

"It's not surprising, I am the number one swordsman in the 33rd Militia of Braggs." Brando replied casually: "And then you, little Phoenix, let's solve your problem."

Little Phoenix looked terrified and shook his head quickly: "I-I'm not going, you guys go."

this kid. Brando couldn't help shaking his head.

...

After agreeing with the others on the time and place to return to the team, Brando, Freya, and Essen quickly hit the road. The time was tight, forcing them to race against time.

Qingcun is about to the east of Lake Che, and the distance is not too far, especially when the three of them went all the way deep, through the dense tree canopy, they could see a few gray smoke pillars in the eastward sky that were getting more and more color. Deep - the horizon is getting dark, and it doesn't look like a good sign.

According to Brando's memory and suggestions, they approached the area that Madara might occupied from the north of the village, and it turned out that his guess was correct, the army of undead had just swept through from here, leaving only a piece of scorched earth.

Looking at the village below, where flames rose and smoke billowed from the embers, and even Freya's last hope was dashed, Madara's army did appear to be ahead of them, so that they were on time to arrive. Ridenburg has also become a luxury. She couldn't help but glance at Brando, wondering what the young man thought.

But Brando hid in a bush and stared at the skeleton soldiers outside the woods as they passed by and carefully counted the trees in the bushes ahead. —

Green Village, the twelfth beech tree to the south in the low forest. He remembered very clearly that there should be a key buried under it. In the game, it was an independent task that could enter a tomb in the village.

He remembered who should have discovered that mission, like a priest? But that didn't matter, because he knew it was a Templar's tomb, and if everything went according to the game, there should be some good stuff in it. But his goal was the sword in the tomb - the thorn of Zhanguang.

That is a sword infused with the power of light. At this level, he is equivalent to a small undead slayer. Of course, he is just imagining the legendary artifact.

After confirming this, Brando turned around, pointed to the outside of the woods and said to the two people beside him, "Did you see it?"

"What did you see?" Both Essen and Freya were stunned.

"The number of bone racks patrolled, twice, four times, it seems that there are now two detachments of Madara in the village." Our protagonist replied tactfully: "Twenty-two to twenty-four skeleton soldiers, two A corpse witch."

"So much!" Essen was startled.

"Fortunately, this is not the point. The point is that they control the cemetery and the square. The corpse witches left behind will definitely use spiritualism there, and they will be replenished by a steady stream of troops. This is where we have to be careful." Brando continued.

"This is desecrating the dead!" Freya clenched her fist angrily.

"Indeed, but they have this right." He sighed, then pointed to the forest not far away and said, "See that over there, that pasture? You can sneak in with the help of the shadows of those fences and bushes. There should be a cellar under the barn on that ranch, it's not hard to find, and it shouldn't burn down - you can hide there and we'll come out later in the evening."

The girl nodded subconsciously, but suddenly realized that something was wrong: "How do you know?"

"I've been here for a while." Brando replied casually, he didn't lie, just not in this world.

"Then what are we going to do?" Essen asked.

"Wait for me there, I'll come to you at night. Those monsters should be focusing on arousing the skeletons, and won't come to trouble you for the time being. If they do attract attention, you should pay attention to your breathing and heartbeat - undead You can see your vitality." Brando warned little by little.

"Wait, aren't you with us?" Freya grasped this detail keenly.

"I have my own business."

"You—" She was about to speak, but saw the young man pat his sword, meaning—don't forget that you have been persuaded by me. But how can that count? Freya opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but Essen on the side grabbed her and motioned her to be careful of the skeleton soldiers patrolling Madara below.

"Do you believe me?" Brando asked in a low voice.

Freya shook her head, but hesitated, then nodded again.

"That's fine, right now, you go. Don't worry, I will come back safely." He replied seriously.

Freya glanced at him and hesitated. But in the end, they were pulled away by Essen unwillingly. Brando watched them pass through a colorful forest and hid in the bushes below, and then passed through the long meadow along a section of fence, and finally sneaked in smoothly. in the pasture.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Brando turned his head and looked at the dwarf forest below. There was a sudden tension in his heart. This would be the first time he would venture alone in this world, and it might look the same as before, but here there is no failure, only death.

Speaking of which, he is actually more willing to act with Freya and the others, but how should he explain that key? It can't be said that he came to bury it before. It is estimated that even Essen could not deceive this kind of clumsy lie, let alone the careful Freya.

On balance, he decided to act alone.

"It doesn't make any difference, old man. It's just as if it was chopped and re-trained." He rubbed his forehead and couldn't help but cheer himself up in his heart.
