Scene 28 The Princess and the Princess II

Crackling, the sound of the brass doorknob turning seemed to pierce the dark emptiness and loneliness. Princess Griffin opened the wooden door and came out of the room with a squeak. The silver curly hair set off the elf-like slender face with eye circles. A little red, but has returned to the usual indifferent look.

"Magdal...has she been asleep all these days?"

"Yeah, it's the same as dying. Although the basic physiological functions are still maintained, it's just a superficial phenomenon," a girl with excessive self-awareness replied before Brando answered, following the voice Looking in the direction of her, Aloz’s curly hair shone like gold in the darkness. She took a bite of a red wild fruit, and the juice flowed down the corners of her mouth and chin; but the little female dragon did not. I didn't care, but stared at Brando and Griffin with the golden pupil of the cat's eye: "Actually, it can be said that the body lying on the bed is just a body that has lost its soul-according to your human words, so The description should be very appropriate. If she was human, she should have died long ago."

"His Royal Highness is asking me, Aloz." Brando replied with a straight face. Since the little female dragon ran to his territory alone, she has been cheating on her name and the deterrent power of the dragon clan. To this day, the only commendable thing she did was to check on Magdahl's status—but that was also driven by her curiosity. And obviously, although she has been traveling in human society for a long time, she hasn't learned how to talk to people tactfully.

"If she was asking me, I wouldn't have answered. What do you think of me, Brando?" Aloz narrowed his eyes dangerously, but the height of a thirteen-year-old girl is hardly a deterrent to her force.

"Stop arguing, it's nothing." Her Royal Highness interrupted them, she didn't want Brando to annoy the Dragon Clan because of her. As she walked forward, she turned around and asked quietly, "My lord, do you have any thoughts about the alliance between Anleke and Jean Denell?"

Aloz snorted coldly.

Brando was taken aback, he thought Princess Griffin would ask him about the nun princess first. But I didn't expect her to bring up the old matter again. Regarding this issue, he had actually considered it clearly in the carriage, and the most suitable tactic to deal with Count Jean Denell was to behead him.

After all, today is different from the past, unlike the time when he came to Tonigel so that Earl Denell had an overwhelming strength compared to him. Right now in the high-end combat power. Even Grand Duke Anleke and Earl Jean Denelle combined may not be his opponents: Grand Duke Anleke has the same famous eagle swordsman and silver knight, as well as several well-known swordsmen, plus some retainers, And let Denell's men, there are only seven or eight gold-rank lackeys left. Even if Dejar didn't die in Ambesel that day, Brando could easily solve them.

After all, this is Vunde, and personal strength accounted for a considerable proportion of the war. I have counted the senior leaders of several legions in several jihads in Vunde's history. Most of them are also of outstanding strength, and many of them are outstanding like his grandfather Darus.

But the only problem is that calculations in war must be mutual,

He's plotting against each other here. Grand Duke Anleke may not be able to follow his tricks. The strength he showed in the battle of Ampersel has already shocked the world. Although most people in the world believe that Williams died under the gunfire of Aruin's First Fleet, it was only after the fight with the eagle Dejar. And the record against the Titans is enough to draw attention to him, a rising star of Aruin.

The name of Earl Tonigel has long been spread throughout the entire territory of Eruin, even among the upper echelons of the Cruz people. Whether in the tundra in the north or the countryside in the south, no one knows that Aruin has an extra sword master.

Even a descendant of that Darus.

Such news naturally cannot escape Grand Duke Anleke's eyes and ears, not to mention that the old fox had personally experienced the war that day. Since he dared to show his face knowing that there was a disparity in strength, he was either too arrogant or had other plans. As far as Brando was concerned, he would rather believe the latter.

So in addition to decapitation tactics, it is best to have preparations for conventional warfare. It's just that the territory of Anlek province is vast, making the territory of Denel mountainous. Regardless of the addition of the Cruz people, it will take a lot of time to fight in both places. Let Count Denell fight with Duke Viero all the year round, and there are already large-scale private soldiers in the territory. As for Duke Anleke, he has been planning for a long time, and most of his men are elite soldiers.

On the other hand, on the side of the princess, apart from the Royal First Fleet which was still resting in Ambersel, the only thing the princess could rely on was Vlada's army and the Southern Legion, as well as the support promised by Grand Duke Lantonilan and the Highland Knights. However, the Southern Legion has not been supplied for a long time, and most of its organizational systems are incomplete. The army of the Grand Duke Lantonilan was also severely damaged in the battle of Ampersel, so the only ones who were able to participate in the battle at the first time were actually the noble army of Vlada and the highlands. The knight's reinforcements, plus Tonigel's pitifully small military strength.

The combination of these miscellaneous armies cannot form an absolute advantage over the troops of Grand Duke Anleke and Jean Denel. I am afraid it is also a long-term task. The problem is that Brando knows very well that Aruin simply cannot spare the time for such a protracted war.

The only way to do this is to find someone else to help.

The best choice is naturally the Grand Duke Viero who has a feud with Count Jean de Neil.

Princess Griffin silently listened to Brando's thoughts. When the sunlight outside the courtyard crossed the arch and shone on her face, the half-elf girl stopped and turned her head: "I see... the relationship with Jean Denell You will be fully responsible for the war, Mr. Brando. Vrada's army should also be brought under the command of Tonigel."

Brando froze suddenly: "His Royal Highness?"

Of course he understood the meaning of this sentence, but he didn't seem to be able to react for a while, and subconsciously stopped and looked at the princess.

The sunlight after noon seems to have just diffused over the wild grape racks in the courtyard, and a piece of green color passed through the last corridor in front of the arch, and was printed on the princess's long dress.

Time seemed to be silent for a moment, and there was no sound.

Princess Griffin looked at him, with only a very flat color in her silver eyes: "Needless to say, I believe in you, Mr. Brando."

"But—" Brando's mouth was a little dry. Although Her Royal Highness Princess Amperesel also handed over the Key Stone to him that day, it is different from the critical moment in the past. Now Princess Griffin has given her the key stone. Giving almost all of his strength to him seems to have some connivance.

This is not like the performance of a sober politician.

However, Her Royal Highness did not seem to want to give him a chance to speak. She lowered her eyelids, blinked her thick eyelashes, and continued to say quietly: "There is one more thing."

"Um?"

Brando let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Aloz's little female dragon had already walked away bored, otherwise he must laugh at his embarrassment at this moment.

"Magdal... is my best friend. I understand that she became like this because of me. In any case, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I hope you can save her."

"By my side, only you have such ability."

"So, can you promise me?"

Brando didn't look at the expression on Her Royal Highness's face, but she could also hear a rare weakness from her tone. He didn't say much, just nodded. In fact, even if Princess Griffin didn't mention it, he would try to save Magdahl.

If you have fought side by side, you are considered a companion. This is what the senior sister said in person.

"I see," he replied.

Her Royal Highness raised her head, looked at him carefully, and then took two steps closer. Stretching out a hand to press his nobleman's scarf, he smiled reassuringly: "Thank you, my knight, you have never disappointed me."

Then she backed away, took one last look at him, walked down the stairs with her skirt in hand, and disappeared into the courtyard in a blink of an eye, leaving only Brando standing under the arch in a daze.

"His Royal Highness seems to have a crush on you, Brando." Until a crisp voice inserted into his thoughts.

Brando frowned slightly, and when he turned around, he saw a familiar face. Roman was wearing her thick businessman's attire, with her hands folded, standing a little behind him and looking at the direction in which Griffin disappeared with the same curiosity as him.

I don't know when this guy arrived.

As soon as Brando saw her little face full of question marks, he couldn't help asking a little angrily: "So, don't you guys know how to be jealous at all?"

"A little bit."

Brando glared at her.

"Re, isn't that the right answer, Brando?" Roman looked at him and shrank his neck.

Brando sighed and held out his hand: "Give me your hand."

"Why?"

"This is an order."

"oh--"

The business lady thought for a while, wiped the leather jacket vigorously with her hands, and then put her hands in his palms. Brando felt the slightly cold temperature, couldn't help but glanced at the young lady, and his heart softened: "Have you ever been to the street?"

"Not yet, Flo won't let me go out. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have borrowed that gun from Qian. It's too much. I've already returned it to her." Roman was unhappy.

"I'll accompany you out for a walk."

"Really?" The merchant lady asked in surprise.

"certainly."

"Then... Brando, can you really wake up that princess? It sounds like a knight's story, prince and princess, will she marry you when she wakes up, Brando?"

"It's not something you need to care about."

Brando answered angrily.

...
