Act 18 Turn

Act 18 Turn

After defeating Sasar, Brando led the refugees to continue heading south. They attacked another undead army about an hour and a half later, replicating the last victory and the refugee team wandered into the gap between the second and third levels of Madara's search line.

In front of them are two nets formed by the three columns of Diren, Gulob and Lei Dios, and behind them is an army of skeletons all over the mountains and plains. They seem dangerous, but in fact they enjoy a delicate balance, like It's like calm in the eye of a typhoon.

Although the battle inevitably caused casualties, Brando's plan still worked.

Madala's undead army wandering south of the Deer Hunting Hills soon discovered a huge problem. The refugee team that should have been in their encirclement seemed to have wings and disappeared at this moment. After Dead Maggot Magus joined forces with Alberton and Wesa, he then went south to join Gulob, Diren and Lei Dios. However, until they plowed through the area, they still did not find the group of intelligence personnel. Refugees fleeing into Yinqueshan.

Could it be that the information was wrong?

A cunning general, Magus never believed in luck. It immediately guessed whether the other party was hiding in a certain valley, waiting for the undead army to sweep across the hilly ground.

Magus immediately ordered all the undead armies in this area to release all their scouts and search again in all directions along the meeting point, making sure to find the refugee team.

But as soon as the scouts were released, Gulob, the commander of the 17th column of the Madala Obsidian Legion's left wing, soon found that he had lost trace of one of his squadrons, and the black knight Sasar who led them seemed to have disappeared. Before it could figure out what was going on, Di Ren, the commander of the twelfth column, also encountered the same confusion.

Soon both of them realized that there might be a mysterious army that quietly broke through their siege and got behind them.

But how did this happen? How did a team of one or two thousand people escape from the net formed by more than a dozen teams of scouts? If it was luck, this luck would be too good.

But the two of them did not dare to neglect and informed Magus of the news immediately. After hearing this, Dead Maggot became furious on the spot and almost couldn't help but throw the scroll box containing the battle map into the faces of these two people.

It almost pointed at the noses of these two people and yelled: "You worthless trash! The third batch of college students who graduated from Bromando Black Rose Academy are all worthless maggots! Get out of my sight immediately!"

Gulob and Diren did not dare to refute and retreated in disgrace. Then Magus calmed down and summoned Alberton and Wesa,

The undead army was ordered to spread out on both sides, to prevent the group of refugees from escaping from both sides of the encirclement.

Then he issued a second order, asking the commanders of the other three columns to search backwards in the opposite direction. Although it looked down on the new dark nobles like Madara, just like it looked down on the idiot Kabasi who was not very smart, it had to rely on their power at this moment.

After all, this is the power of Madara’s new generation

It only worries about whether it reacted too late.

But in fact, Brando had just passed the second squadron of Blood Witch Lei Dios at this moment, following the opponent's third squadron about three miles away.

His plan was a little different than what Magus had expected.

Brando galloped past both sides of the refugee team, pointing out the key members of the refugees on horseback and loudly asking them to turn back. His move is not surprising. In fact, Brando has done this several times to allow the refugees to avoid Madara's undead scout cavalry.

When those key members saw the Lord Knight, they subconsciously ordered the refugees in the area they were responsible to turn around. But some of them cleverly leaned forward and asked to please: "Sir, have you found those monster scout cavalry in front again?"

"No, no, you tell them to turn north and throw away all their belongings except food, water and weapons. We are going to be ready to speed up."

Brando sat on the horse, looked at these people and replied.

His words shocked these people, North? Isn't that the direction where Madala's army is? But they managed to escape from that direction, so why do they have to fight back?

Isn't this gentleman suddenly mad?

Brando tightened the reins and made the horse spin. He looked at these anxious people and comforted them: "Don't worry, I'm not crazy yet. Go and do it quickly. This is our only chance if we want to survive." "

Everyone looked at Brando and felt silent. But what else could they do besides trusting this gentleman? The nobles of Lidenburg had abandoned them long ago, and only this kind knight stayed to share the joys and sorrows with them and lead them out of difficulties again and again.

What's more, the other party is so wise and heroic. According to the mercenaries, this man is as invincible as Mars, the god of war, reincarnated on the battlefield. Although this sounds like bragging, the news of victory from the front and the continuous flow of weapons sent back all prove this.

Thinking of this, their previous suspicions couldn't help but waver. But what does this adult plan to do? Could it be that, as those vigilantes said, the sword in his hand could really lead a path to a miracle?

Seeing that they were silent, Brando understood that his prestige had been vaguely established. However, it was a pity for him that these prestige were only temporarily maintained due to this difficult situation. When the first Black Rose War ended, these honors would disappear before his eyes.

Therefore, he knew that only personal strength was the benefit he could get from this war. He told himself that he must see the direction of history clearly and not be blinded by these illusions.

He thought clearly about this, turned his horse's head and continued running forward. Seemingly feeling that the atmosphere was getting tense, the mercenaries scattered around gradually moved closer to their lord. There was a rumble in the valley. Everyone stopped and looked at this scene as if a king was summoning his knights. .

The battle was about to begin again, and everyone's nerves became tense involuntarily.

After all, this night seemed to be going smoothly, but in fact it was a race against time. In addition to fighting, Brando held Charles's silver pocket watch almost all the time. In the most nervous moments, the cold sweat in his hands even soaked the watch case.

How thrilling was the previous battle? Sometimes there is only a few minutes difference from another undead scout, and these few minutes are the difference between heaven and hell.

Brando finally came to the front of the team, where Freya and her self-defense group were already waiting. In addition to her, there are others such as Bottom, Mano, Voltalon, Leto and Uriel. They all received Brando's notice early, but they just didn't understand the young man's plan.

They have gone around the back of the undead army, and it seems that half of their previous plan has been realized, but why does Brando want them to go back the same way now?

If Brando had not firmly occupied the position of leader in their hearts at this moment, I am afraid that these experienced mercenaries would not just wait for his explanation. Even Freya, who was sitting weakly on the horse, looked hesitant and uneasy, watching him try to speak several times but hesitated.

Brando glanced at her.

In fact, he had received news that the undead were spreading out on both sides, trying to block the team of imaginary refugees. The other three columns seemed to be sweeping towards the rear again. It seemed that they didn't have many choices. Even those who had been following him couldn't help but wonder if they were going to move along the circumference to the two wings, fighting with the dead maggots. race.

This is not surprising, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

But Madala has gathered two battle groups and seven columns in this area. Even if these astonishing numbers of undead gather in one geographical area, the area they occupy is still surprisingly large. The refugees have to bypass almost twenty miles. Only then can you completely avoid contact with the other party.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to accomplish such a feat, especially when the opponent is also spreading to both wings.

In fact, Brando's plan was to kill these people back along the way they came and give the zombie lord an unexpected surprise.

After defeating two Madala squadrons, the collected weapons were redistributed and were enough to arm an army of five to six hundred people, and Brando divided all the people who could be armed among the more than two thousand refugees. After the men and women were mobilized, the self-defense group had expanded to nearly 500 people.

Of course, as long as he assigned Leto and others to take command, he could also deploy more people. But that was completely unnecessary. When Madara's army spread out to the two wings too quickly, the conditions for a counter-attack by the central forces were fully ripe.

Brando has much better scouts than Madara. He certainly has the right to choose when, where and how to fight with how many Madara's troops. This is also his greatest advantage.

Now he will use this advantage to fight back to Madala's inner circle, leaving them unsure of what he wants.

But he stopped his horse and did not rush to explain his intention. Instead, he looked at Freya first. The girl looked pale and shaky on the horse, and couldn't help but ask: "Will you go down and take a rest first, Freya?"

Freya glared at him angrily.

Brando smiled bitterly: "Who made you try to be brave and get hurt? I told you to put a bandage on you and you didn't listen."

When the future Valkyrie heard this, her face immediately turned red to the root of her neck, thinking what shameless words this guy was talking about. How could she, a girl, let him bandage her? It was simply unreasonable.

She deeply hated Brando for talking nonsense as soon as he opened his mouth, and couldn't help but turn her head and ignore him, so as not to misunderstand others.

But Brando was a little dazed when he saw this scene, thinking that Charles was not lying to him. How could he tell that Freya liked him? He couldn't help but look back at the young mage's retinue with suspicion.

"Lord, is there anything I can do for you?" Charles was so stared at that he had no choice but to reply.

"No, no." Brando quickly shook his head.

Brando looked back, only to find a group of mercenaries staring at him and Freya and snickering. In fact, during this day and night, they had already learned from Ciel all about the relationship between the lord and the two ladies around him.

Of course, it was Brando like this who really made them feel a sense of intimacy and pulled them back from the many haloes in their hearts. People are always willing to believe in people who are like themselves. They will respect geniuses, but they will not trust them from the bottom of their hearts.

"What are you laughing at?"

"No, no, no, Lord, you are wrong." Everyone replied in unison.

"I hope so," Brando glanced at these guys angrily, "otherwise, watch your butts! Okay, I don't want to explain too much to you. I just want to say one sentence and prepare to fight!"

He drew his sword.

And when the refugees once again gathered under Brando's sword.

As soon as this huge team turned around, the blood witch Lei Dios, who bore the brunt of the attack, was unlucky. This time Brando did not hide their tactical intentions at all. He had only one tactic, and that was fast, faster!

The self-defense regiment of 500 people and the cavalry of more than 50 people were almost like a dragon, running over the squadron arranged by Lei Dios on his left. More than 200 skeleton soldiers were unable to resist the attack regardless of casualties. Lando.

When the young man led his knights and swept past like a whirlwind, it was not until half an hour later that Lei Dios realized that he had lost his left wing.

When the intermediate necromancer passed the news back to Magus, Brando had already advanced three miles. At this moment, he was stepping on the body of the only remaining squadron leader in Gulob's hands. The refugees accelerated their advance.

Keep accelerating.

He couldn't help but glance at the White Deer Statue. It was about fifty minutes before the Throne of Knights appeared in the night sky.
