Scene 21
Brando's thoughts turned sharply, he thought it would be great if he had some investigative ability. Such as eagle eye, momentary omen, vision of the dead, scouting and other skills, but thinking of investigation, he suddenly thought of a possibility. That's right, it's that——
He couldn't help but shake hands and then let go, so that he could relax.
"Because the dagger river beach is almost undefended for us now, and there is only at most one unit of undead stationed there. Why don't I break out in that direction?"
Everyone's first reaction is almost the same:
"What, is that true?"
"How can it be!"
"How did you know?"
Brando raised his hand to silence everyone: "Of course I know, Bresson, do you still remember the half-broken statue you found in Qingcun?"
"It's the one that looks like a demon. It's heavy and heavy." Bresen suddenly realized that the thing was found by Zeta and Lyons under a collapsed Kalidas shrine. A trace of a knight was found nearby, and it was only after searching on the spot that it was found.
Brando took out an ebony statue from his pocket: "That's called a gargoyle, you must have heard of it. It's a basic war unit of Buga, and wizards control it through this thing."
He held it in his open palm so the others could see it. Most of the young people in the security team participated in the operation in Qingcun, and they immediately recognized that this little thing was exactly the same as that statue.
"Wait, you mean you can control that thing?" someone asked.
"But can it move?"
"It has wings, can he fly?" The scout named Zeta asked Brando in the back row.
"Of course it can fly, and it flies no slower than a dragon. You know our dragon knights. They have a similar status to the dragon knights in Buga. They are the best scouts on the battlefield. I use them to open the way and avoid them." Open a large army of undead."
"Yesterday morning, I noticed that Madara's march in the north was in trouble. At least three of their squadrons were stranded in Weibin and failed to block the north bank of the Wechsler River in time. And because there was a problem with mutual coordination, I want to The two undead armies ahead of us are unaware of the mistakes of their colleagues to the north."
"But unfortunately, the gargoyle was discovered by the garrison troops during my further reconnaissance, and was attacked and damaged. When I ordered it to return, it fell in Qingcun—"
When Brando said this, Freya suddenly realized: "So it is, Brando, at that time you said you had your own private affairs to deal with. No wonder you always take us out of danger, no wonder why you You have to go to Qingcun even if you are seriously injured, you want to fix that thing - why didn't you tell us?"
Brando was about to explain, but the future Valkyrie had already bowed her head: "I'm sorry, Brando, I was also at fault. I was still angry with you at that time, but I didn't know that you were thinking of everyone."
ha?
Brando felt that he was simply a genius, and he could actually make up such a story in a hurry. But it was hard to tell whether Freya was too smart or too stupid to connect Freya from beginning to end. Seeing her apologetic face, Brando suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
But when Freya said this, she believed it 80% of the time. Freya is the best militiaman in this issue, and she has a good impression on Madden, and she is a Butcher, so it is impossible to deceive them, right?
Even Brayson couldn't help but rubbed his brows and asked, "Can that thing move again?"
"It's hard to say, I will try my best. I have re-established contact with it, and the rest is to let it recover slowly." Brando said casually, and he said in his heart that if he can move, I will still use it here Talk to you nonsense.
A level 23 gargoyle,
Not to mention the Lich, even if Rothko came in person now, he would still be in a hurry.
Bryson was not satisfied after hearing this answer: "You are so stupid that there is no cure for it. You will be discovered by manipulating the flying gargoyle in the sky. Now we have a scout in the sky. The situation is much better."
"It turns out that someone's ability is to shirk responsibility, isn't it true that you wouldn't fight without me?" Brando sarcastically pointed at Maimang.
"snort--"
"Okay, stop arguing, we still have to fight the battle ourselves. But boy, we are sure that what you said is true, but Madara's advance team is also eyeing us in front of us. These hundreds of people acted together with several Individuals are different, do you really think we can get away?" Madden pondered for a moment before asking.
"That's your responsibility, Captain Madden."
"Well said—" The veteran of the November War couldn't help but took a deep look at Brando. He was a little strange, as if the kid knew what he would think, and every time he spoke, he happened to talk about him the itch. Just like you want someone to set up a stage for you right away when you sing an opera, he couldn't help but think that if this kid changes careers and becomes His Majesty's jester, he must have a bright future.
But God knows, Brando knows his character well.
Thinking of this, Madden stood up and ordered in a deep voice: "I order that the Butch Guards gather here and prepare to implement the breakout plan!"
The surroundings were all silent, and then the members of the security team stood up with a swipe.
Then Madden turned his head: "Zeta, go tell the villagers and let the men among them come out to gather. Now it's the turn of Eruin's men to protect their homes and relatives—"
Zeta froze for a moment, turned around and said, "Captain?"
"What are you looking at, are you cowardly in the end? Let me tell you—it's time for you to fulfill your promise, boys of the Butcher Guard, and before dawn we will launch an attack on Madara's advance troops Breakout attack, I don't expect any of you to survive, but that's okay, because the villagers of Butch will take our bravery out and tell everyone in the outside world that we have done our duty despite life and death gone."
In Brando's eyes, the veteran of the November War glanced across everyone's face one by one, with a solemn expression: "My past officer often told me that he died to protect others without losing his honor." , this is the destiny of a warrior. Now I am sending you this sentence intact, I hope you will remember this honor—”
"So, what should we do? Brayson, I want you to lead the rest of the village to break out from Dagger Bank. There is only one requirement, do you understand?"
"I understand." A glint of light flashed in Brayson's eyes, but he lowered his head and replied.
"Very good." Madden nodded: "Boy, and Freya, you two. I ask you to join the Butch Guard immediately as a militia. Do you have any opinions?"
Freya immediately shook her head.
But Brando nodded in full view: "I have an opinion."
Madden was stunned: "Say," he couldn't help but glanced at Brando: "But if you are timid and afraid of death, you can just get out of here, the Butch Guard never accepts cowardly No guts."
There was a low laugh from all around, but Brayson on one side was surprisingly silent. Brando looked back at the guy, a little surprised, but his eyes fell on Roman again, remembering what the merchant girl had said to him before.
"I've never seen them. My aunt has been by my side since I can remember. My aunt said, little Roman, when you grow up, you must repay your aunt well!"
"That's why you want to be a businessman?"
"kindness."
"What a strange idea."
"It doesn't matter--"
Brando smiled slightly in his heart, and he looked up. "Captain Madden, your decision is not a problem from Butch's point of view, but have you forgotten a question?"
"What's the problem?" Madden was stunned again, and became more and more curious about this kid.
"The three towns of Butch serve as a buffer zone for the front line of Riddenburg, and Butcher's guards have always played the role of a warning outpost for Ridenburg. If we choose to leave here, what will happen to Ridenburg who has not received the slightest warning?" What kind of situation? If this can also be said that we are doing our duty, I don’t think so.”
Brando talked eloquently, but the expressions of other people gradually changed. He was right. If it was just this, they did not fulfill their responsibilities. If Madara was lucky enough to break through the Riedenburg defense line, then the Van Meer-Riddenburg defense system might become precarious.
As a result, the entire Golan-Elsen region may fall under the command of the undead army. Thinking that one day Madara might come to the city of Prague, these young people couldn't help but lose their voices for a while.
But what are they going to do?
"We did our best."
"There's only so much we can do when we can."
"It's not that we gave up Riddenburg, but Riddenburg gave up on us!"
But Madden stared at Brando closely. He knew that since the young man was willing to speak out, it meant that he must have a way.
"Yes, I happen to know that there is a way to break out to Rydenburg. Although the chance is slim, it is better than nothing." When Brando said this, he breathed heavily as if squeezing the air out of his chest .
He looked back at Roman again—the future business lady was thinking about something with her head down, clutching her bag with uncommon unease.
"That one?"
"Xavier Hill Road."
Madden couldn't help but gasped. Although he searched his memory, he subconsciously avoided this place. He couldn't help but want to remind Brando, and wanted to ask the young man if he knew the danger there - the mountain road was in the south of Belledo Forest, passing through the Usson River Valley, near the border between Eruin and the Barbarian Forest.
As long as you cross that valley and head south, you will be at the edge of civilization, and you can see the endless wilderness. No one who entered that valley has come out alive since the Year of the Howling (L. 350).
I heard there is a dragon in that valley——
He felt that attacking Madara still had a sense of survival, but sending people there was like beating a dog with a meat bun. After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't get rid of this deep-rooted thought. .
"That's a dead end, lad." The veteran couldn't help shaking his head.
"Conscientiousness does not require it to be done, it only requires it to be done." Brando replied.
"But I can't send my boys there to die. That's irresponsible to them. A soldier should die with honor like a soldier."
"It's okay." Brando replied, "I'll go."
There was a dead silence.
"What, say it again?" Madden was dumbfounded.
"I go."
"Why, the responsibility of the Butch Guard has nothing to do with you, young man, if you just want to be brave, you might as well join us." The veteran couldn't help asking.
"No, I'm not trying to be brave." Brando looked back at Roman and smiled slightly: "I have a reason why I have to go, as for other reasons, it's just incidental. So little Roman, willing to go with me what-"
"Brando?"
Roman was stunned, and raised his head with a look of surprise.
