Act 59 The Last 2 Members of the Mission
When Brando first stepped on the land of Ash Mountain, he had a real feeling in his heart - 'rvaslit', the mountains are like fangs piercing the sky - the mountain people use their language to describe this northern land. Mountains, for those steep and sharp peaks with grey calcareous cliffs, are undoubtedly the most subtle rhetoric. The crooked and undulating ridges turned the distant skyline into the same twist, with a pale gray sky overhead and a vast valley below, the sun pouring down the cliffs on the other side of the valley, and the same peaks they were on. In the shadows, some unknown bird of prey hovered far away in the mountain stream, and the shrill howls from time to time echoed between the mountains far and near.
The little prince whispered to them that it was a gray falcon, a kind of raptor that only inhabits the gray mountains, and Brando remembered that it was very close to Haruze's hometown.
If one could look over the vast mountains, one could see the lowland where the Bulei people lived for generations, and the vast plain to the north. There were scattered hills and black pine forests on the plain, and there was also a huge royal capital. He asked the little prince if he had chosen this road when he fled, and the little prince said yes, but at that time they left in a carriage at night and entered the Ash Mountain in the dark night. Like a sleeping giant, it left a deep impression on him. And now with the teacher, naturally there is no need to worry anymore.
The little prince's words made everyone laugh, and the carriage was warm as spring. In addition to Brando and Roman, there were also Magdalen, Dilfery and Nemesis. Among them, the nun princess and the countess were originally here. The owner of the carriage, and as for the merchant lady and the little prince, they squeezed in - it's not that a certain eldest lady doesn't have her own carriage, it's just that Delfrey's carriage has a special charcoal brazier, so this ghost The sneaky eldest lady had this in mind from the very beginning, and tried every means to coax the soft-hearted Countess into inviting them into the car.
Fortunately, the Countess didn't mind it at all. She was even more happy to have a few more people chatting with her. Little Roman was chatting, and there were endless stories - most of which were made up - but they also took advantage of Delfrey's heart, so the two of them didn't take long. Became good friends. Only Princess Magdalen listened with a shallow smile, as if she had no intention of interfering in the topic, and only spoke occasionally when asked, but there was something in every word, showing the flames of fire. The style of the nun princess of the temple.
The carriage drove for a while, and there was a knock on the carriage, and Brando opened the door. A cold wind poured in from the outside, causing the temperature in the car to drop several degrees abruptly, making the faces of several ladies pale a bit—of course, with the exception of Nimesis, the female knight was sitting on the brass hilt. next to Haruze. His long eyelashes were hanging down, and he was counting the fringes on the carriage curtain.
Yuta's weathered face was exposed outside the carriage door. The former head of the mercenary and the current captain of the White Lion Guard sat on horseback and paralleled the carriage. After seeing Brando open the door, he leaned down slightly and said to him: "Lord My lord, we have arrived at Fort Tisko."
It had already arrived.
Brando asked the carriage to slow down.
Then jump out of the carriage and close the door. As soon as he stepped on the land of Ash Mountain, he suddenly felt a real feeling in his heart. This was the first time he had crossed Ambersel and came to this northern land since he came to this world. I remembered the situation of running and fighting on this land with everyone. He couldn't help but subconsciously glanced back at the carriage, but through the foggy window, he couldn't see the expression on the face behind the window. At this time, the head of the female mercenary had brought him a war horse from behind, and he silently took the reins from Yuta's hand. He got on his horse, and then asked casually, "How is it, are you still used to this land in the north?"
Yuta was a little surprised by her lord's master-like tone, and she wiped the frost and snow on her eyebrows. Shaking his head, he said in a somewhat amusing tone, "Sir, I am more familiar with this land than you."
Brando was slightly taken aback. Looking back at his subordinate, he seemed to remember that he had never asked about their origins.
"Are you from the Grey Mountains?"
"Well...we lived in Corcovado for a while before my sister's accident, and hey, that experience made me hate nobles, and sometimes I think if I had woken up sooner...but Forget it, I don't want to mention these things anymore..." Yuta suddenly sighed, looking at the rolling hills with some disinterest, and replied softly.
Brando also nodded and stopped asking.
Yuta was the captain of the guard on his trip, but he was not the best candidate. The most suitable candidate should actually be Kuran, but the old man has now insisted on not interfering in Tonigal's big and small matters, and after putting Earl Denell in prison , he bought a piece of land in the Mintai area, as if he was determined to be a leisurely manor or an old farmer. However, Curran still recommended Yuta to him. Among the five mercenary commanders under his command, Leto wanted to stay away from the power core of the fir collar, and only wanted to make the refugees he brought from Ridenburg better off. , Caglis and others privately called him the leader of the refugees, but this copper dragon was disrespectful; and Bartom the red beard was obsessed with the cause of local security, as if being a sheriff had already made him Satisfied, he once admitted that he has no ambitions, and the current life is already his pursuit.
Brando didn't intend to force the two mercenary heads who followed him first, not to mention that he knew that Bartom's ability was indeed limited, and being a local sheriff was already his full ability, so he often called him Antitina complained.
The three mercenary heads who joined later were even more ambitious. Crencia Adam Antitina's subordinates began to be in charge of the logistics of the territorial army, and now they are almost independent; and Fern has already shown his prominence in the White Lion Guard. , his military experience in Karasu Heights made him the most adept among the three mercenary commanders in Brando's army. After the Autumn and Twilight War, he has become another important member of Caglis. Deputy, Caglis intends to let him command a cavalry, but the army has not yet been formed.
Only Yuta, the head of the female mercenary, seems to be limited by her experience as a mercenary. She was good when she was the head of the mercenary, but after joining the White Lion Guard, her performance was very ordinary; Antitina is grateful Due to the qualifications and loyalty of these mercenary heads, I want to give them a better position. Both Fern and Krenthia have the ability to accept it. Only Yuta has an embarrassing position, and she is unwilling to rely on her relationship with the Lord to rise to the top, so she has been serving as a small infantry captain in the White Lion Guard.
When Brando received the mission of an envoy and was looking for a commander capable of commanding a small team, Yuta entered his field of vision at the first time. When it comes to a corps of various occupations and arms, similar to a mercenary group, Yuta's experience can make her play an extremely good role.
Of course, he actually has better options. That is Freya. However, having Freya as the captain of the embassy's guard is a bit overkill, and the point is that she has just gained a little reputation in the country, and now she needs to stay and consolidate her position in the southern army. On the other hand, both he and Nemesis are on the imperial embassy. By the side of the princess, a loyal general is even more needed. Let Freya stay in Erruin, partner with Antitina, plus a Caglis and Kewen who is far away in Sylman, then the southern border will be He was much more at ease in the situation. Even the old nobles want to take the opportunity to make waves. Her Royal Highness Princess and Tonigel would not be in crisis immediately, not to mention that he also left behind the tree elves and the White Lion Guard, so that Freya had enough military power to use.
Out of this consideration, he finally chose Yuta, and the performance of the head of the mercenary also made him very satisfied. In this envoy, he brought Metissa, Ciel and Shipamira. . As well as Tiger Sparrow's mercenary group, the group belonging to Mars in the White Lion Guard, there are hundreds of steel puppets. There are also gargoyles flying in the sky, several witches, four Valkyries, and a certain unsightly lady. The head of the mercenary team uses his own experience to arrange these different people, different soldiers and war machines. Appropriately.
Except for the White Lion Guard and Tiger Sparrow's mercenary group on the bright side. Brando hopes that the iron golems and gargoyles provided by the Bugga can hide, not to mention witches and Valkyries of course. It's even better not to see the light if you can't see the light. Yuta divided these troops into two parts overnight, and formulated a marching route for them. She is very experienced in how to travel in the mountains and keep from getting lost. Among the routes she made, many of them were routes that Brando used in the game in his previous life. I can't stop talking.
After more than a week of travel, Brando can fully confirm that it is completely inferior to make this lady an infantry captain. Some people are born to be mercenary captains and elite detachment commanders. Yuta is undoubtedly such a talent .
Then Brando raised his head and looked at the long line on this narrow mountain road - mainly five carriages. The carriage of the flesh-ball-shaped son of Archduke Carrasu, the third carriage carried the daughter of Archduke Vieiro and the seven or eight-year-old girl of the Golan-Elsen family, and the fourth carriage belonged to a certain businessman. The carriages, without exception, were accompanied by several followers, and the white lion guards who guarded them made the originally not spacious mountain road congested.
This is because Brando wisely placed the envoy guard of several hundred people behind the convoy, leaving only a small cavalry in front to clear the way, otherwise they would have to block the mountain road and not even think about moving. .
In front of this bloated team, the shadow of a city wall has already appeared. This wall is straddling the mountain road. One side of the dark city tower is close to the steep mountain wall, and one side seems to be half-hanging on the deep cliff. From a distance, it looks awe-inspiring. This is Fort Tisko, the most important pass from West Fah to Corcovado. Brando came here several times in the game in the previous life, but because of the presence of players, the fortress in the game is not so solemn, and it is much more lively. He remembered that there should be a fortress on this mountain road. The market is formed spontaneously by players.
He led Yuta away from the crowd and walked forward until they came under the city wall, where Metissa and Ciel had already been waiting, and there was the man who seemed to be rolling on the ground in a meatball state. The second-in-line heir to Grand Duke Karasu, after so many days, Brando has figured out how to pronounce this guy's tongue-in-cheek name - Avram or August. When Avram saw Brando coming, he couldn't help complaining loudly to him, saying that this backcountry place was full of uninformed country bumpkins, and he would only open the door without seeing the Count himself, and would not give any His face is clouded.
Complain about this level. Brando has long been immune, but he has some doubts in his heart. Generally speaking, these soldiers below will not easily offend the nobles. After all, there are not many people who dare to pretend to be nobles like him before. According to Avram, Either someone deliberately made things difficult, or something was probably going on in the fortress.
He cast his questioning eyes on Medissa and Ciel, and the elf princess frowned and replied softly, "Listen to their tone, it seems that there are thieves in the fortress."
After hearing this answer, Brando almost thought that he was really being embarrassed by the Viscount in Fort Tisco. This excuse is a bit too clumsy; this fortress is not only populated by soldiers and officers, but also their families and nearby mountain people, and it can be regarded as a small town. If a thief were to be put under martial law, then there would be three hundred and sixty-five days a year, and twenty-four hours a day.
However, Shire obviously wanted to know more about the world of the world. He hurriedly explained with a smile: "My lord, I asked. Mr. Avram may have misunderstood. I heard that the thief stole some of the owner's property here. things, that’s why the current situation exists.”
Brando suddenly realized, which made sense, a nobleman, especially a military nobleman. He even called a thief on his own site to patronize him, and anyone would be furious if he changed it. Although in many country stories of Eruyin, the stories of the thief and the nightingale are boasted like gods. These incarnations of justice seem to be looking for trouble for the nobles, who act as chivalrous people and rob the rich to help the poor, but in fact, those who really understand this industry will understand the existence of these gray areas where they seek life somewhere. Most of them are actually inextricably linked with the nobles, which is not to say that the nobles are secretly supporting the work of these people. It is precisely to protect the rights and interests of the nobles from being violated, so how many thieves and thieves there are in the local area, and what identities these thieves are, most of them are clear in the noble circle. In addition, the two sides basically do not violate the river water.
Therefore, the perpetrator must be a foreigner, but Brando became curious again, wondering who the holiness dared to be so bold.
Soon, the guards verified their identities, creaking down the drawbridge, opening the gate, and letting them enter the fortress. Brando stared at the slowly rising city gate, knowing that the so-called identity verification was just a pretense, and most of the time he had dragged before was just to report the viscount, and the guards below were unwilling to bear the burden. Responsibility, so let the Viscount speak in person to let them go.
It's just that Brando didn't know that the daring gangster he was mumbling about was really a genuine local, not an outsider.
In Tishko Castle, two carriages were parked under the shade of a tree-although the so-called shade of the tree was only a few solitary dead leaves, barely falling; outside the carriages were surrounded by many servants At first glance, these servants do not look like those from the nouveau riche in the countryside. Although they have a bright surface, they look lazy at first glance, as if they still retain the habit of loitering before they became servants of the nobles. And these servants are well-trained. Their master did not open the door to get out of the car, so they stood in two rows in the carriage, without saying a word or looking sideways, as if two rows of puppets were about to take root on the ground. .
As for the two carriages, the emblem on one has been removed, while the coat of arms on the other is a black wolf. Anyone stopped because it was the family crest of the Grey Mountains.
There were two young men in the carriage.
Two young ladies to be exact.
Or a seventeen or eighteen-year-old noble daughter, while the other is a girl with curly hair tucked under a huge scholar's square hat and thick glasses, like an old school girl, but she is very short. , like a dwarf, and even the breasts have not yet begun to develop, it is unremarkable, and at first glance it makes people understand that this is a real loli, and from the grade point of view, it seems that it is only eleven or twelve years old.
The two were obviously talking, but what was surprising was that the one who was leading the conversation was precisely the little girl who didn't seem to even have her teeth replaced.
Just listen to her say: "It's so slow, it's so slow, I hate guys who are not on time."
And the noble daughter was obviously worried, and asked carefully, "Chiara, they seem to have found something missing."
"Of course they will find out," Loli replied rightfully, "that Lord Viscount is not an idiot."
"But will we get in trouble?"
"Trouble, of course not," Chiara turned the card-like thing in her hand and looked at the gadget with interest: "I'm just a little interested in this thing, do I ask him to put this thing Give it to me, does he dare not obey? I just didn't want to owe him a favor, so I had to do it myself, and I missed something, that kind of thing hasn't appeared in my dictionary yet."
