Act 122 Veronica
Act 122 Veronica (1st Update)
"Faina, what's going on?"
Before Brandor could reply, a nobleman in a black dress emerged from the centaurs not far away. He couldn't help but change his face when he saw the aristocratic lady who was tied up, and then at Rono and the other knights lying on the ground.
The middle-aged man raised his head and saw Brando standing in the field and Antitina and Akane behind him, his face sank, and without saying a word, he pulled out his long sword and stabbed it with a sword.
Along with his sword, Brando felt a scorching breath.
Passive elements, gold fields.
Brando and Akane both frowned, the elements on their bodies reacted at the same time, and after the space stagnated, everyone felt the temperature plummet, and the thunder spear in Akane's hand also jumped up and down in arcs.
The middle-aged man's sword was still three inches away from Brando when it was blocked by a fire shield, and his face changed, and then he stepped back, looking at the two young men cautiously.
"Who are you?" Count Karenz was secretly shocked, of course he recognized that neither Brandor nor Akane were Tanians, nor were they tree elves, especially Akane's striking red hair, which made people recognize her as a mountain dweller at a glance.
Two such young golden powers, how could he not have heard of them before?
"Lord Earl, they are Eruin" Faina, a noble girl, almost couldn't help patting her small chest when she saw the middle-aged man coming, and breathed a sigh of relief, "It was they who injured Rono and the others, that ...... That one...... Young man, he also said...... Also said...... The empire is not worth mentioning. ”
"The Empire is not worth mentioning?" Karenz snorted heavily when he heard this, the glory of the empire is the pride of any eagle's people, in his mind Eruin is just a small group of rebels, if it weren't for the wind elves behind him, the emperor would have exterminated this mob long ago.
Even now that Eruin has been recognized by the Sanctuary of Fire, the proud Cruz are still reluctant to admit it, and they see the Eruin who have survived in a corner as nothing more than a bunch of hillbillies, and the nobles among them are nothing more than nobles.
Although Eruin's ancestor, Ek, did come from a long-established noble family in Cruz.
He looked at Brando with a somewhat gloomy gaze: "Young man, did you say this?" ”
Brando looked at this nobleman, and his mind was spinning the impression about the other party, but there were too many nobles in the Cruz Empire, and there were so many strong people who entered the gold realm that they were like stars in the sky, and he didn't know where this person was sacred.
He replied casually, "Just tell me the truth." ”
"To tell you the truth," said Count Karenz, grinding his teeth, but there was a sneer on his face, which was so white that there was almost no blood, "but I heard that your country is in a difficult situation right now, and Obercourt VII was beaten by a mere madala and sent an envoy to ask for the Emperor's help, oh, yes, that old fellow is now dying, right?" ”
He pretended to think for a moment, and sighed, "There is a lot of civil strife, and it looks like your country is not going well right now, young man." I don't know if Her Royal Highness the princess is interested in our Nine Emperor Princes, otherwise maybe our Royal Highness the Princes can help. ”
"Even if it's the Cruz Empire, it's just a matter of solving the more trivial problems of Eruin."
The nobleman's words were full of sarcasm, a little harsh to the ears of any Eruin, and Antitina managed to endure it so that she did not retort - she was a girl after all - but still gritted her teeth secretly.
Even Akane frowned, no matter how unbearable Eruin was, after all, it was a country shared by everyone living in this land, and being so sarcastic by outsiders still made her a little uncomfortable.
As for Brando herself, from the moment this man mentioned Her Royal Highness the Princess, his face was already clouded. For the first time, his hand pressed on the hilt of the Sword of Earth.
He didn't take out his sword lightly because he didn't want to kill, but some people want to kill themselves, and young people don't mind fulfilling it.
It's just a golden primary.
He can easily defeat the gold-median Kuran with his swordsmanship and strength alone, but that is not his full-fledged combat power, don't forget that Brando also has the identity of a traveling mage and an elemental envoy.
He didn't even need Akane to intervene, he was sure that he could make this guy not be able to utter half a word of syllables within ten moves.
Fnya took Antitina's hand—the little girl had no affection for Eruin, but at least she knew that it was her brother's homeland, and when she saw Brando's dark face, she knew that the latter was upset.
She looked up at the Earl and said crisply, "Who are you, you are not welcome here"
Count Karenz was stunned, he didn't expect a child to dare to refute himself, he was stunned, but immediately sneered: "It's really uneducated, worthy of being a hillbilly child." ”
But before he finished speaking, he couldn't go on. Not only him, but even the centaurs around him felt the air suddenly turn cold—centaurs had always loved to watch the excitement, and gladiatorial fights were commonplace for them—but now they saw that a hoarfrost was forming on the wooden floor of the corridor at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The cold hoarfrost made the planks creak as they were deformed, like a wail before breaking, and it spread like a white frost serpent from Brando's feet to Kalenz in front of him.
"This is the element? What a high-grade ice element—" The count's face changed in an instant.
He raised his sword to block it, but at this time, a low shout came from outside the crowd: "Stop"
Count Karenz was stunned, but Brando was stunned, his Earth Sword was unsheathed, and the power of the elements felt his anger reach its peak at this moment, as if it recreated the terrifying power that had been displayed in the halls of Grudin.
The white frost serpents devoured the Karenz like lightning, but this time they were doomed to fail, as a shadowless and invisible force suddenly blocked Brando's rising momentum.
It was like a transparent wall, abruptly cutting off Brando's sense of the elements.
The young man looked up in surprise and saw the centaurs gathered in front of him retreat to both sides, and out of the back stepped a woman wearing a red plush cloak, a set of shining armor draped all over her body, and her long hair was as blue as jade, draped over her shoulders like a waterfall.
The woman was beautiful, about forty years old, but only a slight wrinkle between the corners of her eyes. The woman just looked coldly in Brando's direction, and Brando was about to make a move, but was stared at by this star.
Brando knew this woman, Veronica, Captain of the Cruz Blue Firmament Legion.
She is not only a rare female commander in the empire, but also the supreme commander of the coalition forces who participated in the November War and the Eastern Front of the Second Holy War. She already had a series of titles of Extreme Sword Saint, Dragon Knight, War Sage, and Sky General thirty years ago, and she was civilized a hundred years ago, and as for now, I'm afraid no one knows how strong she is.
But if you want to talk about the top masters of Cruz's domestic national treasure level, then this woman must be one of them.
In fact, when Brando saw this woman, he couldn't help but shudder.
Although Veronica had a good personal relationship with Freya in the past, and could even be said to be half of the latter's teacher, in front of this strong woman, the future Valkyrie was just a young girl.
But whoever she was, Brando didn't want to run into each other in this place.
Not to mention that he also taught the other party's people a hard lesson just now, although it seems that this matter was provoked by the people of the Cruz Empire, but whose elders don't protect their shortcomings?
Isn't this going to kill you?
Martha, who wrote this script? Brando's first sight of this woman's characteristic cyan eagle earrings almost choked out of a mouthful of blood.
"You look down on the Empire?" The first time a woman looks at a young man is cold, and her tone is unceremoniously.
With these words, the woman's momentum seemed to turn into a sharp sword out of the sheath, and the edge was directed at Brando. The young lord from Eruin was stunned, but he stared into the other's eyes, took a deep breath and replied:
"The ancestors of the Cruz seem to have been accustomed to solving problems with repression and conquest, so they forgot about the tolerance of civilization? Not only for his own people, but also for outsiders? ”
Although Brando's heart was pounding, he did not show weakness in words, this is the territory of the druid, at least here the other party does not dare to do anything with him.
His words were also directed at the other party's sore feet, and the brutality and indifference of the Cruz Empire had always been the reason why it had been criticized among the forces of the Flame Temple. However, fortunately, among the seven great priests of the Flame Temple, Cruz accounted for more than half, so he could still firmly control the power of religion.
"Hmph, sharp teeth and sharp mouth can't let you take advantage." The female legion commander said coldly, "Karenz, teach this Eruin a lesson"
Count Karenz looked back at this moment, and he couldn't help but smile fiercely when he noticed that Brando had been locked by the legendary legion's qi machine. He can't kill people on the Druid's territory, but it's okay to secretly do something to make Brando's life difficult in the future.
To abolish the future prospects of the two outstanding young people of Eruin, he is still happy to do it.
He immediately bowed respectfully to Veronica, then drew his sword and stabbed Brando in the wrist. But how could Akane, who was standing behind Brando, get his wish, and the girl raised and immediately blocked Kalenz's offensive line with one shot, but just as she was about to make a move, the female legion leader just glanced at her coldly - at that moment, the red-haired girl was like a thunderbolt, and the halberd in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
"I don't know if I'm alive or dead," Karenz sneered, the blade in his hand approaching Brando's body.
(PS: What will happen to Brando?) Please listen to the next decomposition~ It's the end of the month, what about tickets, all kinds of rolling and asking for wood. )
