Act VII Plan
"So, where exactly are we?"
Grasping the initiative of the conversation without a trace, Sophie began to knock on the side to ask for some information she wanted. He really found that he had changed a little, and that he had only been able to talk so eloquently and lightly in the game.
Maybe it's because this is the world of the Amber Sword.
The experience in the game is enough for him to naturally exude a confident temperament when facing these young people, as if the other party is really still a child.
This self-confidence unconsciously influenced others, Freya or others, and they gradually felt a little different. The center of the conversation shifted to Sophie, consciously or unconsciously.
Not far away, a few young people also raised their heads to look at this side.
"This is a red pine forest, don't move." The pony-tailed girl took a breath and tried to calm herself in reply.
Sophie looked up in surprise - worthy of the future Valkyrie, she had learned to regulate her emotions so quickly, but it still seemed a little immature to him.
"Red Pine Forest?"
"Wait, why are you here?" Sophie was taken aback again. He remembered that this place, called 'Dwarf Valley' in the game, was the habitat of the level fourteen brown bear. But here is south of Buchi, and there is no reason for Buchi's militia to appear in this direction.
"We're coming for you."
"It's Miss Roman, she's a friend of the eldest sister's head."
"And Roman is a member of the third detachment." The voices of the crowd gossiping.
"Have you repelled Mardara's advance force?" Sophie looked at Freya, who was most concerned.
"How is that possible!" The girl looked at him puzzled, and her expression seemed to say how could you ask such a stupid question: "The adults of the garrison have evacuated from the north to cover the villagers, and we are separated from everyone." And there are more and more monsters on the avenue, we can only go south, and besides, I'm worried about Roman......"
"So that's all there is to you?" Sophie felt her heart sink all the time.
The girl nodded as a matter of course, and her long ponytail rose and fell with it.
Freya immediately felt a little strange - this young man was not Captain Madden, why did she always have the feeling that she was a head short in front of the other man!
And Sophie couldn't help but pat her forehead, I really don't know whether to say that these young people are naΓ―ve or ignorant, and they still want to save others when they can't protect themselves.
No, maybe it's kind-hearted.
But there is no need for unnecessary kindness on the battlefield, it will only harm yourself.
Sophie was silent, but she couldn't help but vomit blood in her heart. He burned down his grandfather's mansion to warn the village, not expecting that history would follow its original trajectory - no, repeating the mistakes of the past.
And even these stunned guys, Martha-sama, what kind of joke are you making?
He sighed in his heart, there is still too little he can change, and the inertia of history cannot be stopped by a little force. Yes, he had to change his strength to do it, but before he could do it, he had to survive.
"Captain Madden, Captain Madden, it looks like I can't save you either."
How could the Black Rose Madara of Bromanda come to the border before the May Celebration of Eternal Death? Such an obvious premeditation is a demon if it backfires, isn't it?
Sophie's hopes were all in vain, making him feel a little empty. He worked desperately before, but in the end he found that history had not changed at all, and such a blow was really depressing.
But after all, it's just the strength of an ordinary person, and he's done his best.
"Brando!"
He was upset, but a voice of surprise sounded in his ears, like a lark. Sophie turned around and saw Miss Merchant, with a look of disbelief and surprise, appearing on the side of the forest, followed by a girl in gray and white leather armor - presumably the same girl who had gone to ventilate the news.
Roman came to him like a gust of wind and stared at him cautiously, as if he were afraid that he would suddenly disappear.
"I knew you were going to be okay, Brando." She said happily with a relieved look.
"That's right, Brando. Freya won't let me go back to Butch, I'll ......" Then Miss Merchant explained eagerly, as if she were afraid that he would be angry.
Sophie noticed that there were still two shiny tears on the other party's face, and she couldn't help but feel soft in her heart.
"It's okay, I'm fine." He replied softly.
"Really?"
"Really." Sophie nodded.
"Roman, don't touch him, Mr. Brando is badly injured." Freya couldn't help frowning, did these two people know how many injuries they had, and they were almost dying, didn't they?
"It's okay." Saying that, Roman stuck out his tongue and stood back.
Sophie smiled, Miss Merchant is this little character. The young man looked at the two beautiful girls standing side by side, and couldn't help but feel a little pleasing to the eye for a while.
He suddenly realized that it was not that it had not changed, but that the change was in another aspect. The world has changed since he came into the world.
If it weren't for his crossing, perhaps Miss Merchant and Brando would have met with an accident, and Madara's gang of robbers would not have had much of a sense of pity.
He looked at the others, and at the young men with Freya, how many of them had survived the war.
Sophie remembers very well that there were not one out of ten militias and garrisons on the front line of the border in that war.
But now that he's here, maybe history should be biased. He didn't know more, at least these people around him should be preserved, these young people are the seeds of the future of this kingdom......
Sophie will never allow history to repeat itself.
"Alright, back to business. Do you know how strict the situation is now? Then the young man exhaled, trying to make himself appear less uncomfortable. To be honest, what he needs most now is rest, but the current situation obviously does not allow it.
He looked at the others, Freya and the young militiamen in a daze.
Only Roman winked playfully.
"Huh?" The pony-tailed girl asked puzzled.
Sophie coughed weakly twice and asked, "I mean, what are you going to do next?" If I'm not mistaken, the undead of Madara must have taken control of the Great Dao, right? β
It's quiet all aroundβ
"Y-How do you know?" Freya was slightly stunned and looked at him in surprise.
Of course I knew, not only did I know, but I had experienced it myself, Sophie replied in her heart. However, the surprised gazes around him still made him a little proud.
Prophets are good.
But the slightest pride could not hide his apprehension: Madara had moved swiftly and well during the April offensive, and he had to devise a more elaborate plan to protect himself.
And these young people.
The enemy Buch is facing at this moment is the flank of the army of Madara, and the leader of that army is none other than the famous 'Black Lord' Instaron, although the guy is still a hairy boy in his early twenties, it is from this war that the future star has gradually become apparent.
And what does he have? At this point in history, he is just an unknown person.
But Sophie knew that the only advantage she had at the moment was foresight, and that it could save his life in the next series of encounters - but only when she had the chance.
He only had two chances.
One was passing through the relatively safe valley of the Pinnacle, and he remembered clearly that it was not until the 17th that Starong's deputy, 'One-Eyed' Tagus, would take control of this area.
However, the distance was too far, and he was worried that he would not be able to break through from that side before the other party completed the encirclement. Unless there are horses, where does he have to go now to find horses for ten men?
Therefore, there was only one way left, and that was to break out of the Dagger Beach area before the two squadrons led by 'Ghoul' Vesa and 'White Knight' Alberton converged.
Until late April, there was only one skeleton detachment led by a corpse witch.
He couldn't help but touch the cold ring on his index finger, as long as there was a wind after the ring, wouldn't it be easy to break through the defense line composed of eleven skeleton soldiers and a corpse witch?
But before he could do that, he had to get everyone in the militia squad to do his bidding. That's why he's been so strong from the start.
Sophie glanced at everyone again.
"This is a natural speculation, and with a little military common sense it would have come to such a conclusion. The blockade of the avenue was to cut off contact and make way for his own army. The next step is to purge the remnants of the Eruin in the area, with Buchi as the center," he said, based on his own experience, as strict as he could. Then he paused and emphatically said, "That's us." β
There was silence, and all around was the sound of others inhaling softly.
"So, what are you going to do now?" Sophie asked weakly.
Everyone looked at each other.
The road leading to Buchi is guarded by more than a dozen skeleton soldiers, so you can't kill them, right? Although there is a kind of self-confidence unique to young people who thinks that this enemy is nothing, there is still some anxiety when it comes to fighting to the death.
Freya looked worried, she hadn't thought much about her decision. It's a militia, but after all, it's just a group of young people with little experience.
Although the pony-tailed girl didn't speak, her confusion was already written on her face.
The eyes of others have long since fallen on Sophie, and Sophie's experience makes him seem calmer than everyone here, and this impression is often subtle, but it makes people feel more reliable in times of crisis.
"Brando?" Roman also asked.
Sophie turned around and smiled to signal her reassurance.
"We're going to prepare for the worst." Then he looked back at the men, intending to dispel the naivety they still had.
It's not the first time he's done this. In guilds, newcomers who are entering the battlefield for the first time are always optimistic, and when they are hit, they will fall into a situation of hesitation, so they will quickly collapse in front of an experienced team.
In fact, the gap between players and players is often not as big as imagined, and the key is mentality.
And they, the old players, are responsible for vaccinating these newcomers in advance.
"What's the worst?"
Sophie was about to speak, when suddenly a sparse sound came from the jungle. Everyone looked in that direction in unison, only Freya frowned lightly and asked in the heather over there, "Jossen?" β
"It's me, Captain Freya."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But Sophie quietly waved her hand at the pony-tailed girl, signaling her to be more vigilant. Freya was slightly startled at the sight of his gesture, but immediately reacted - there was no mention of leaving the post at will in Eruin's militia training.
And Sophie has absolutely confidence in the military literacy of the Eruin militia, although these young people are naΓ―ve, but this does not mean that they can forget the basic rules of practice day after day.
There is no room for negligence on the battlefield -
"Is something wrong, Jossen?" Freya asked, placing her hand on the hilt of her sword.
"Yes, I'm sorry, big sister, I, I was caught......"
Ou Heather parted to both sides with a 'bang', and two people walked out from behind. The first one was a young man with a pale face and a crying face and hands raised in the air.
A corpse witch followed, pointing its fingertips at the back of the young man's head as it looked at the others with a flickering green ball of fire in its sockets.
"Gurgle, caught a bunch of mice."
Everyone was suffocated.
"Jossen!"
"How can you-"
Then there was a voice of disbelief.

Note:
Unyielding, the first awakened talent is called the Bloodline Talent. It's not something that every character has - or rather, the protagonist doesn't realize it.
There are two main abilities of Unyielding:
One is rigid, ignoring a physical blow for the duration of a qiΔ unless decapitated, or with heart damage. And the will is raised to 10 energy levels - this will allow the creature to remain awake for five minutes even after being fatally injured or even after it has stopped breathing.
The second is self-healing, strengthening the body's ability to recover itself, but this ability only has an effect after the injury is stabilized.
Bloodline talents will gradually increase as the character increases, revealing more traits.
(PS. It seems that the desire of the three more is going to be shattered again.In addition, I found that many brothers don't read the notice.,Because I found that the noon update effect is not good.,So the normal update in the future is a chapter at 12 o'clock in the morning.,A chapter at 6 o'clock in the afternoon.)
