Act 14 The Battle for the Lumber Camp (1)

While the three chiefs were gathering their men, Brando sent someone to find a guide from the slums.

When the ragged man was found from the shack south of Fir City, he was still uneasy and worried that working for this strange lord would cause trouble - he had inquired about what was happening in the inner city before he came. The commotion that night was so loud that even if Antitina wanted to conceal the method, it was impossible - but she couldn't resist the temptation of money and the persuasion of her woman. After much hesitation, the man agreed to join the team. Because the generous young noble promised to give him a gold coin as a reward, he might not be able to earn such a large amount of money after working for a year - and with this money, he can send his children to the inner city. Become an apprentice in a workshop, and the fate of your family may change.

So when Brando asked a question, he carefully told the other party: The forest south of Fir City has always been called the Bearman Forest. It's not that there is the kind of 65 in the forest that makes Brando's scalp numb just thinking about it. Super monsters, but there are a lot of wild bears in the woods. Four sawmills are located in the forest. The three deep in the center of the forest are occupied by cavemen, and the remaining one was abandoned after being destroyed by workers. Later, Grudin sent his private army into the forest to clear out the underground residents, but after suffering two severe losses, the Baron never mentioned the matter again.

Brando nodded after hearing this, as he expected.

It has been more than an hour since I left Fir City.

As we go further south, more and more trees appear on the moor. The forest stretching from east to west is like a huge shadow, lying in front of the mercenaries - the young man is sitting on the horse, holding the reins tightly with one hand and watching the mercenaries in front of him pull out a loose line Entering the woodland dotted with black pine and red pine trees, the figure's longing figure quickly disappeared into the shadows between the trees.

"Hey," a slightly raised girl's voice interrupted the guide behind Brando and sighed: "Are cavemen that powerful?"

Brando couldn't help but raise his eyebrows subconsciously. He didn't know how Roman appeared. Anyway, not long after the team left the city, the business lady wandered into his field of vision uninvited. "Then again, wasn't this guy counting supplies and checking the account notes left by previous generations of lords?" The corner of his mouth twitched, "So, who told her that he was going out of the city to find those cavemen? Troublesome——"

"Really, miss," the man said loudly, "I heard from the guards in the city that they look a bit like mice. Although they have no eyes, they can tell the direction by smell and sound, and they are extremely powerful and move quickly. So fast, most people are no match for them, even the Baron's men need two or three people to attack them before they can deal with one caveman."

Roman tapped his chin with a white finger, raised his head and pictured the other party's appearance in his mind, "In this case, don't they take advantage at night?" she asked to herself.

"Yes," Antitina looked at Roman in embarrassment. She was a little embarrassed to tell Brando that she was actually fooled by the business lady's pretending to be dumbfounded in a few words, letting her know about their relationship. action. Until now, she still doesn't understand whether this 'Lord's fiancée' is playing tricks on her, or whether she was plotting against her from the beginning. But no matter which one, she couldn't accept it: "Not only at night, but also in this kind of forest where visibility is not high, their advantage is far greater than that of us humans. Unless they are black iron-level soldiers , otherwise it will be difficult to detect the other party in advance before the other party finds us."

She turned back and said to Brando: "Sir, we have entered the forest. Should we send out scouts?"

Brando shook his head. He knew very well that the caveman warriors had 15 strength and 10 dexterity. Both strength and dexterity were at the upper-middle level of black iron, and ordinary black iron mercenaries were no match for them. "In order to maintain the defense of Fir City, there are only about four regiments of mercenaries accompanying me out of the city this time. I don't plan to split them up further," the young man replied, staring in the direction of the forest: "Besides, the mercenaries are not compatible with these cavemen. Than, who do you think is more familiar with this forest?”

Brando unconsciously took on the habit of Amber Sword when he spoke. In the past game, there were 80 players in a group, so he actually meant to say more than 300 people. It's just that the noble daughter didn't notice his slip of the tongue at the moment. On the contrary, she was surprised, "Of course it's a caveman." Antitina was stunned: "Sir, you mean... no scouts are needed? But this... ..." She has never heard of a battle between two armies, with one side completely giving up on battlefield reconnaissance. The noble girl's dark eyes flashed: "Magic?"

she asked tentatively.

"Almost." Brando glanced from left and right. As his thoughts moved slightly, the wind spirit spiders crawled out of the ground one by one - the mercenaries around saw these cyan spiders surrounded by whirlwinds. They were all startled when the spiders suddenly appeared around them, but they had already seen these little things when fighting Madala's undead army, and knew that they obeyed the orders of the young lord in their center - so they could be considered allies. military. Therefore, after the brief commotion, the crowd quickly calmed down, but these people still looked at the center of the team with awe.

In this era of Eruin, having a gold-level wizard under a noble can definitely be regarded as a status symbol. Princes such as Grand Duke Anlek and Grand Duke Karasu only have two or three gold-level princes under their command. level wizards as staff. But as a descendant of a family, Brando not only has a gold-level mentor-level wizard accompanying him - Charles has now become the natural leader among the spellcasters commanded by Brando in Fir City, and the head of the wizard group , naturally everyone among the young man's followers knows it - and in addition, it is said that he is also a gold-level swordsman, and he has Medisa and Qian who are also gold-level swordsmen. Peers.

Even if it is Count Jean Denel, the high-end strength around him is nothing more than this.

Moreover, you must know that the girl named Medissa is the legendary Silver Elf. Silver Elf has not appeared in this land for centuries. You can imagine the shock caused by their sudden appearance in people's field of vision. Not to mention the rumors circulating among ordinary mercenaries about the close relationship between Brando and the Silver Elf, even the three grand leaders of Juta, Fern and Kerenthia increasingly felt that they could not see through this young man. . And it is precisely because of this that they are determined to stay and fight with Brando against the Jeandenelle family - otherwise, based on Brando's identity as Viscount, they would rather fall into the black forest.

At least there is a chance of survival if you choose the latter path.

Brando has certainly heard of these rumors, and he also knows that these news were actually released by Roman and Antitina. The meticulousness of the noble daughter and the novel ideas of little Roman are combined together, and there are all kinds of There are always some clever ideas. He won't clarify it. Anyway, this is exactly the effect he wants to achieve. This is exactly what he did before, but now he has been imitated by his two little staff.

Brando took out the Holy Sword card from his arms without saying a word. The next moment, the 'Dragon Cavalry', which had shown its prowess in the battle with Madara's undead army, appeared again among the mercenaries. before. This is the second time that Brando has used this set of cards in front of others. Juta, Kerenthia and Fern who saw all this later couldn't help but change their expressions - fifty silver-level offensive forces - -They originally thought that those sylph spiders were the magic pets raised by Brando, but they didn't expect that they were actually a spell. The strength of this spell is somewhat difficult to measure. If used properly, it does not seem impossible to defeat a golden middle-level existence.

According to the general classification method of spells, this spell has at least a power above gold. But they all know that Brando is a swordsman.

A golden swordsman.

Now it seems that he is still a gold level summoner.

This is a bit surprising.

Brando waved his hand and issued an order in his mind to 'surround the widest range and kill all non-human living creatures'. The cavemen must have sentry posts outside the forest, and he must pull out these sentry posts. Although it is not necessary for these cavemen to not find out that the human army has entered the forest until the end, they must at least delay it for a while. Then he raised his head and watched silently as these sylph spiders spread out the whirlwind surrounding them, flying into the sky one by one, flying toward the forest with streaks of blue light. Then he turned back and happened to see the tiger bird also looking back from the direction of the forest.

"Sir, how are you going to fight?" Huque turned around and asked, "If the news is correct, there are thousands of cavemen in the forest. Their number is several times ours, and their individual combat power exceeds ours. To be honest, I can’t think of how to fight this battle.”

"Don't be timid before fighting," Akane replied from behind: "Captain Tiger Sparrow."

"Captain?" Huque was stunned for a moment, then reacted. He chuckled and looked at Brando: "Miss Qian has thought about it and wants to join us?"

The red-haired girl nodded nonchalantly, and she also glanced at Brando: "I've thought about it, I have nowhere to go -"

"sorry."

"It doesn't matter." Qian smiled nonchalantly: "Let's listen to the Lord's thoughts. I'm also curious about how such a battle should be fought. In the past, when Captain Macaro led the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group, the most we had was We only fought and won against opponents twice our size, but that time our opponents were just a group of robbers, which is nothing like the current situation."

"That's right," Roman swayed restlessly on the horse, making people worried that her little body might fall off at any time. She said, "Brando, Brando, what do you mean? Cavemen have a keen sense of smell and hearing, so it would definitely be disadvantageous for us if we fight at night. In this case, we have to fight quickly."

When she said this, the three mercenary captains nearby could not help but increase their concentration and get closer to the circle. Brando smiled in his heart when he noticed this. Although he had never refused these external forces to enter the core of his circle, the three grand leaders were still instinctively wary of this young noble. In fact It is precisely because of this that Brando never thought about reorganizing these mercenaries under him from the beginning. Although this matter is inevitable, if it seems too impatient, it may cause misunderstanding and resistance from the other party - - So he simply said nothing and waited for the other party to lose his temper and come to him.

This time fighting the cavemen is one of those opportunities.

"A quick victory is not that simple." Kerenthia shook her head, and while looking at Brando's face, she deliberately replied: "Although I have never dealt with cavemen, but since I can make Grudin Deflated, obviously not a bunch of rabble. Don't be afraid of being embarrassed to say it. Although our mercenaries are better in quality than Grudin's private soldiers, they are also limited, and the scale of the troops sent this time is far smaller than that of that one. The baron once conquered the cavemen on a large scale."

"What should we do?" Roman blinked his eyes and asked curiously.

"The lord wants to pull out the opponent's sentry," Antitina watched as the last sylph spider disappeared in the direction of the forest, and then retracted her gaze and focused on Brando, "I want to wait for the opponent's reaction. Buy enough time before coming here?" She thought for a moment, "Lord, do you want to capture one of the sawmills with a lightning raid and then lure the cavemen to attack?"

Brando turned around, a hint of appreciation flashing in his brown eyes. Turning offense into defense was indeed his idea.

"A good idea," the same admiration flashed in Fern's eyes, "but will it be successful?" asked the grand leader of the Firelands Chapter.

"The cavemen know where they have the advantage over us. If they lose during the day, they will definitely find a way to regain it at night." Brando replied, "At night, we are on the defensive side. They have the right time and we have the right location. Offset each other. The rest depends on the morale, combat effectiveness and the ability of the commanders on both sides." He seemed confident when he said this, but he knew that he did not have any tactical talent - in fact, this method is in the Amber In the sword, when Cruz and Jorgendigon were fighting, it was just a method that countless Cruz players had already used.

Although he had never dealt with cavemen, he knew this trick.

"But," Akane asked with some confusion, "What if they don't attack?"

"That's not good," Huque smiled, "Then we will attack during the day." But he turned around, "But the detection of troop strength and combat effectiveness is still a problem, Lord Lord."

Brando nodded and asked the guide to go ahead and lead the mercenaries to bypass the abandoned lumberyard and head directly to the nearest lumberyard occupied by cavemen. At the same time, he raised his head again, his eyes fell on the sun that was slowly sliding to the west, and replied: "This is indeed a problem, but I have already succeeded."
