Act XXXIV Goodbye Madden
Erran, then the eyes of this cavalry are at most for him to pay attention to, and he is not so ignorant of the general situation in terms of the Livestock Alliance.
As he had planned, Brando had no intention of entering the rotten system of Eruin, but the refugee affair could not be concealed, and he had expected it for a long time. Therefore, in this way, in pursuit of freedom and money, an experienced mercenary has become the best candidate to replace him.
The aura that hangs over a group of people is always a little dimmer than that over a single person, and it is natural to think that it is a group of experienced mercenaries who are good at fighting their way through thousands of armies.
This is right in general.
The fall of Fort Ridden was like a ticking time bomb, and the knightly group of Whitemane Legionmen could not escape reproach after the war, so a small highlight at this time would set off their incompetence. If he were to act as this positive character alone, of course, his vanity would be satisfied, but it must be the local nobles who laughed more happily.
Brando didn't want to brand himself as a force. So after his arrangement, the situation changed:
Because the more people there are in this story, the easier it will be to change the way the story is finally written
Brando knew that the shrewd nobles would understand this, and it would be up to him to see if the cunning creature had done enough; At least how to find a scapegoat to come out and cover all the faults, and then whitewash the whole story, after a small time, is the key to saving face.
But it didn't really have anything to do with him, he didn't really want to deal with these guys at all, but he didn't have a choice right now.
But at least there is another benefit, and that is that the name of "Amber Sword" has begun.
People's interest in the excitement was limited, so except for the teenagers around Little Phoenix, the citizens outside the Silver Hussar headquarters quickly dispersed.
Brando soon met old Madden as well. The elderly captain of the guard looked so worried that he had been in a hurry for the past few days, so much so that there were several more wrinkles on his face. Brando guessed what he was worried about, it was nothing more than a confusion about the relationship between the nobles.
Within Pragues, the struggle between the local aristocratic forces represented by Count Nagin and the military aristocracy has reached a white-hot stage. In this case, only a carefree teenager like little Phoenix would be bent on pursuing the legends and stories of the city
Thinking of this, he walked over and said hello, Madden remembered this young man who was not afraid of death, this veteran who had experienced the November War couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw him, although this old man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing the news that Brando and Freya had no accident, and secretly rejoiced in his heart that Lord Martha had taken over.
Then his gaze fell on Freya, and the girl with the long ponytail immediately put her hand on her chest and saluted, and replied, "Captain Madden, I'm back"
Madden nodded at this time, showing a relieved smile: "Okay, just come back."
But before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel emotional, remembering that the villagers of Buchi were still displaced at the moment and the nobles were bent on fighting for power and profit, although he was not a Buchi person, he was speechless for a while.
Seeing that Madden seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, Freya also remembered Aunt Sil's family who died at the hands of Mardala, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Brando couldn't help but sigh when he saw little Roman with his eyes drifting towards him, and said that this dead girl is very arrogant, but sometimes she is both sharp and shrewd. But when you pay attention to this businessman's eldest lady, she begins to sell her good and petty again.
Thinking of this, he walked up and patted Freya on the back to soothe the girl with the long ponytail. Then he said to Madden, "Captain Madden, there is a presumptuous saying. But you don't have to think too much about things between nobles, after all, we little people just have to wait for their final decision."
Madden was stunned, not expecting Brando to see his distress. Although he is a veteran of the November War, he is not good at these intrigues, and the cicada's exhaustion in the past few days has almost made him a little unbearable, and sometimes he really envies that little Phoenix's little devil can not pretend to have anything in his head.
However, what seems complicated to Madden, Brando, as a latecomer to history, sees it more simply than him. Because Madden's group of people is in such a situation, their decision will not play any role, so it is better not to decide, and wait for others to help them arrange a qiē. Although there is some helplessness in saying this, it is true.
It was these little ones that he wanted to sue Sù Madden
But after Brando and the veteran made it clear, the old captain of the garrison couldn't help but be taken aback, looked at Brando suspiciously, and asked, "Young man, who are you?" These things are not so clear to ordinary people, let alone ordinary people. Not even me. ”
His words confirmed Freya's suspicions, and Freya thought to herself that since even Captain Madden said so, then Brando's identity was certain. She then went up and told the veteran of the November War about Brando's identity, of course, about the Highland Knights.
Madden was stunned.
It turns out that you are a nobleman, or a highland knight The elderly captain of the garrison couldn't help but glance at Brando in surprise after hearing this, and said: "Speaking of which, I had the opportunity to fight side by side with the Highland knights when I was young, although most people must be unruly when they mention the highland knights, but I have to say that they are indeed all heroes."
He glanced at Brando again: "It seems that their juniors are impatient too, Brando, you have at least proved it."
"You're overrated, Captain Madden
"No, when you said you were going to deliver the letter from Xavier Hill Road, I just thought that you young man was not afraid of death. And if it weren't for Roman's insistence on going with you, I wouldn't have supported you. Madden replied, "Of course, as for later, I sent Freya after you, that's another matter."
"But in any case, your later cousins can be called heroic.
Young man, true bravery is not recklessness, but understanding what you are doing, and your actions clearly deserve that. ”
The old captain of the guard patted Brando and Freya on the shoulders with both hands: "You are all good, young Eruin is a role model
Freya was silent and glanced at Brando. I thought that most of the two of the works in this were Budo's, but everyone didn't know and Siliu Of course, Brando wouldn't be stupid enough to say it himself, and then they met with the rest of the Buchi militia one by one, and Ike, Ethan, and Macmie, who had a good relationship with him, naturally came to congratulate him one after another, especially Macmi also brought a small barrel of ale, claiming to toast for the rest of his life. The taciturn Nibeto and Vlad just patted each other on the shoulder, they were not good at talking, but their feelings were naturally included in their every move.
The only surprise was when the group met Breson halfway through, a young man with his father, who rarely didn't go toe-to-toe with Brando, but only a slight nod of the head.
Then Makmi told him that Bresson had been depressed for the past month, and only recently did he get a little better. Brando couldn't help but be silent for a moment when he heard the news, a person who could blame himself for his dead companion was at least not too bad, which confirmed one of his thoughts.
Towards the end of the celebration, some young Silverwingers joined in, and Brando couldn't help but glance at Bartom when he saw the young men in the cavalry.
This shows that his arrangement of dispersing "hatred" is still relatively successful, after all, jealousy is born with inevitability, but as long as you keep a little low-key, you can also win friends.
After the festivities, the old garrison captain Madden came to ask him once again about the nobility. And this time, Brando's point of letting Freya stay. Then he replied, "Uncle Madden, in fact it seems that the situation is already clear. The knightly forces represented by the Whitemane Legion will soon come into contact with us, which means that they have already made a decision, but rest assured, this decision has nothing to do with us, we just need to accept the reward with peace of mind
"Poison said?" Madden asked.
"That's probably the case, they need people to be heroes, people like you and Freya who have excellent examples, and who come from the garrison and the militia system. In order to make people think of the power of the local legion, Brando replied, "And Uncle Madden, you led the villagers of Buchi to fight their way out of the siege and delivered the message to the Van Mill Fortress in time. It's okay to say about this, because Uncle Madden, as long as you are from the garrison, your credit is their credit
"But a group of mercenaries led one or two thousand refugees from Fort Ridden to fight their way out of the tens of thousands of undead. It's a bit hard to say, if you don't do it well, it will make the Whitemane Legion a laughing stock. But on the one hand, these two deeds have spread in Pragues, Anzek and even the Dragos area, and they can't admit it if they want to. Therefore, how to deal with it has become a very ingenious thing
"I see, we're really just a front?. Thom reacted suddenly.
Brando nodded, "So the key falls on Freya." ”
"Me?" Freya was listening to it, but at this time she woke up: "Concubine Bran, I'm one"
Madden was silent at this time, and Brando said it very bluntly, but it made the old man a little difficult to accept. Although he also knew about some things between nobles, he didn't expect that a war would seem so simple to these nobles.
So what are these people fighting for here?
"Freya, don't answer anything yet, you listen to me." Brando glanced at the ponytail girl and said.
Freya was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Brando continued: "However, the Knights have their own reserves, and they disdain to deal with mercenaries, because they see mercenaries as insatiable and fighting for money as real soldiers, and dealing with these people is a very self-respecting practice
Bartoum took a sip, very disdainful.
Brando looked at him and smiled: "Of course, if you have to, they will still send someone to contact you privately"
Hypocrisy Bato Yao wiped his red beard and replied.
"Hypocrisy, so to speak. Or vanity, Brando replied lightly.
"Wouldn't the nobles be too short-sighted when they think so?" There is still some disbelief in Madden, who after all has a deep-rooted influence in the army. He couldn't believe that those nobles who were high up could be so shallow and hypocritical.
"Short-sighted?" Brando shook his head, in fact he knew them better than the old soldiers themselves, these nobles were not short-sighted, nor stupid, they should even be said to be too shrewd, and certainly the example of selfish greed
As long as they have power and an army in their hands, the nobles can be completely independent, and they don't need to worry about the royal family and the people of the lower classes, even if their territory is invaded, Madara will retreat anyway. Even if the prediction is wrong, they can live a life with a head and face in any country in Tiende with the money they have gathered.
In the end, it is the people at the bottom who suffer.
In this case, of course, the nobles should indulge in the struggle for power and profit, so why not?
Brando glanced at the few people present and continued: "In this way, Freya among us will become the most ideal candidate for the whitewashed nobles of the Knights of the White-Maned Legion, at least she who is from the militia will first think of the background of the military
"But, Ulliel can too. He's the captain of the vigilante cavalry at Fort Ryden, isn't he more suitable than me? Freya couldn't bear to tell her about Fronta, because Brando had strictly forbade them to divulge Fronta's identity outside.
This will cause them problems.
Brando shook his head, "On the contrary, at least in Fort Ridden, the security cavalry is a faction of the local aristocracy, in fact, it is just a private soldier in a private name. This cavalry was also created to contain the swordsmen of the White-Maned Legion, do you think the White-Maned Legion will be noble enough to create prestige for their enemies? ”
When Brando said this, those present immediately realized that Frey seemed to be the only possible candidate.
Even Freya herself was stunned, and went silently.
Wang: This is the first chapter.
People are unlucky, they really drink cold water and stuff their teeth. I endured the disconnection, and yesterday I went to the Internet café and lost the key. I was forced to stay in an Internet café all night, and it was so cold to sleep in the Internet café, ",
