Brando and Freya walked along the moonlight in the forest, and the pine tree shadow resembled a narrow tunnel, soft footsteps rustling, there was a full moon above the pine needles, and the night owl howled under the silent night, sharp The call came far and near through the woodland. Brando walked very fast, Freya could barely keep up with her pace, she held the hem with one hand to prevent it from being caught by the shrubs, but her heart was already on the hands where the two hands were connected, her mind It's also chaotic. She vaguely remembered that since she had separated in Braggs, she had never had the opportunity to be so alone with Brando. The last time I walked side by side with him in the night like this, it was still in the Buck Forest-also in In this forest.
"Brando, where are we going?"
"Wait until you understand."
Freya stopped speaking, and although she was a little shy, she let Brando clench her hands. The two went forward in the forest one after the other. It was a long and short journey. Gradually, the heavy branches separated in front, the woodland became sparse, and the light was vaguely revealed. Freya realized that They had passed through the forest from the other side, but there was something in her mind under her heart.
When he arrived, he was still here, but Brando thought about it.
The forest opened a door in front of the two, and there seemed to be a lively market at the back of the gate. This market is located on the edge of the forest, dotted with lights and stars, as if held by the fairies in the forest. Sheng Sheng, lit a bunch of torches, gathered here. But Freya saw the crooked sheds and wooden houses in the market from afar, but suddenly she held her heart with her left hand, and she opened her mouth slightly, realizing what it was.
Since the Black Rose war, refugees from Rydberg and Butch have gathered near Braggs. Some of them left this sad area and took their mouths to the north of Manowell, or to Kurk and Maggietan. However, there are always people who love homeland and old and weak women and children who are unable to move. They are unable to connect with the local When people compete for land, they can only build scattered settlements along the edge of the forest and reclaim wasteland in the forest. Part of the refugees who had fled from Brandenburg with Brando were impressed by Brando's grace. Under his arrangement, he followed the Reto mercenary regiment to Tonigel, but after all, the people who were willing to leave the country were few. After all, more people chose to stay, and the refugees in Butch or the northern area were even more. So it is.
"Look, Freya, these are the people who put their hopes on you. Their situation is not good. Ask them. Ask everyone who survived the butchery from that catastrophe. They Is it because of your origin that I respect you and take care of you? "Brando said with some emotion. In the last life, he knew these places very well. The establishment of these settlements throughout his novice era. He knew exactly what kind of people lived in these sheds.
Freya has completely lost her autonomy at this moment. She clenched Brando's hand tightly, and could not help crying. This was her dreaming hometown, the neighbors, the source of her ideals and beliefs.
Sylvia, uncle, Captain Madden, Phoenix Junior and everyone else, all of them trust her. Is it from her origin?
This is a question that does not need to be answered.
"Remember your vow, Freya."
"Brando ... Brando ..." Freya murmured, as if tormenting herself.
"Freya, you are the daughter of Everton, but you are also the daughter of Butch. No matter what you achieve in the future, this will not change." Brando stood quietly in the night wind and answered quietly .
"I understand ... I should have understood ..." Freya closed her eyes and shook her head vigorously. "I was wrong, Brando, sorry."
Brando patted her shoulder lightly, and took Freya back to see the villagers left by Butch. This was also his purpose, but he didn't expect to advance so much. "Do you want to go in and see?" He asked softly. Freya took a deep breath, and looked at Brando apologetically, then nodded hard.
Since the years of flowers and summer leaves, the influx of refugees has become the most headache problem for the nobles of Braggs. They are powerless and have no thoughts to house these homeless people. The place and the army are pushing each other. The refugees' livelihoods have been lost day by day. After the kingdom finally chose to submit to Madara, they have no hope of returning to their hometown. And within that gray-white castle, the nobles were busy fighting for power and collapsing with each other, as if the failure of the kingdom in the war turned into the sharpest spear and sharp sword in their hands, and used to pierce the opponent's chest A group of unlucky eggs fell after the war and got on the gallows, but another group of people who sang Kaige may not be sincere for this ancient kingdom.
Even at the local level, the locals are crowding out these outsiders under the leadership of the lord gentry. Although the people at the bottom are naturally compassionate, this sympathy is only built on the premise that their own interests are not shaken. It seems that selfishness in nature pushes the situation of these poor people into a worse situation; they cannot compete with the locals for the resources of life and can only enter the forest to embrace each other for warmth, but even so, they must also face local discrimination and Suspicious eyes, in such a situation, the situation of these refugees from Butch region can be imagined.
In fact, the refugees have to face the uneasiness of the future, because even the last place where they depended for a living is, in nominal terms, the territory of a certain Earl in Prague. In order not to provoke the riots, the nobles had to pretend that they did not see the actions of these poor people, but the Earl may not be satisfied with the disposition. He did not care about this loss, but it must not be his own. Man loses, otherwise would he not become a fool in the eyes of others? In fact, the Earl had made a request to the aristocratic parliament to drive away these robbers who had taken up his land.
This kind of thing sounds strange to ordinary people, but the aristocratic council has to carefully consider the request of the Earl and protect the noble's legal property. This is a serious proposition.
Old Madden was sitting by a bonfire, wearing a uniform of the police uniform, but the mortar had been washed a little white. This military uniform seemed to symbolize his honor. Although still meticulous, it was a past tense. Something about the aristocratic council had passed to his ears. He looked at the heavy night, sighed long, and his sorrow seemed to percolate into every wrinkle on the forehead of the old man. He did not choose to leave with Brando and Freya that day. Because Butch is his duty, those young people should let the young people give it a go. As for him, this old bone has already experienced too much wind and frost, let him bury it here.
He couldn't let go of his feelings with this land, he couldn't get rid of the familiar taste in Butch's soil, everyone was still here, how could he leave.
But now. The situation has worsened day by day, and the poor land has not produced much. The Earl also forbids refugees from hunting in the forest. Although it is possible to cut wood for heating, many people can no longer open the pot. The key is that everyone lacks hope for tomorrow, as if one day counts as one day, like a walking dead, already numb. When did you lose your ability to think, hope and look forward to? Old Madden often remembers those seasons. The heart became heavier.
The only thing that pleased him was another rumor heard these days.
There was a loud noise in the distance.
Madden frowned, and the young people in Phoenix didn't stop at all.
"Essen, Mark Mi, you're going to block their back road!"
"Nieberto, you call your elder brother Vlad and Ike. Come on, don't grind up!"
Pedestrians on the street retreated, as if it was commonplace for this scene. On the vacated lot, two groups of young people were lined up in opposition. They are wearing various military uniforms of the militia and the guard. However, most of the military uniforms are old, and some are full of patches. Only the swords in the hands are cold and shiny, but most of them are tangled with rope on the hilt of the sword. Either the guards are lost or the weights are missing. Well, all dressed in the uniform of the Braggs patrol cavalry, well-equipped and airy, and even the boots under his feet are shining, I know that he is a child in Braggs.
At this time, it was the little Phoenix who was commanding and dispatching the Butcher militia. He was at least one head taller than a year and a half ago, wearing a uniform of the guard-after the Black Rose war, he was elected by Madden to become Butch reserve team members, but it wasn't long after that, the butch reserve team became a historical establishment and completely lost its sense of existence.
"Phoenix!" Cried the young men of the inspection cavalry: "Count Count Nagin is about to take back this land. You illegitimate exiles, don't you catch it?"
Little Phoenix sneered dismissively: "It's not too late to talk to the aristocratic council after discussing the results, don't you guys want to take advantage of this opportunity to get some benefits, and don't know who was the last one His face is blue and swollen, and the scar is forgotten. "
"what did you say!?"
"Little bunny!"
The young inspection cavalrymen were suddenly poked and yelled. They thought that they could take advantage of their identity to fix these country guys. They came out to earn some extra money last time, but they did not expect to be hit by the little Phoenix and caught him. Had a good meal and had a swollen nose and a swollen face. Both sides are young men with good temperament. They would not use any conspiracy to fight for a fight, but this time they managed to heal their wounds. Naturally, they would call their colleagues and make a plan to get revenge.
Both sides intentionally started to work, and they didn't agree with each other. Theoretically, the patrol cavalry is well-equipped and well-trained and should have the upper hand, but these young people in Butch are not easy to mess with. Everyone present is almost a student of Madden. What is Madden like? Existence. The veterans of the November war also received the Candle Fire Medal. None of the apprentices he taught were hands-ups. Needless to say, veteran militia members such as Essen and Mark Mi have even been on the battlefield, and have fought with Madara directly. In this level of conflict, one person can be used by several people.
But the most powerful is Phoenix Jr., who originally had superhuman talent in swordplay, and learned two skills from Brando, and now he is also taught by Madden himself. The swordplay level is unparalleled in the Prague area; inspections The cavalry obviously knew his power, and he specially selected three people to deal with him. He and the three men had a fight for a while, then suddenly freed his hand to stab one of the thighs with a sword. The man yelled and hurriedly threw his sword to surrender. Although the two sides were in a ball, they were still more ethical. Little Phoenix looked at the man and abandoned the sword, so he no longer asked him to trouble, and concentrated on dealing with the other two.
A few more swords were right. He struggled with a sword and injured his sword to fly another person's sabre. The man looked at the sword that was blown out, shook his head helplessly, and raised his hand to surrender. And the last person knew that Wanwan wasn't the opponent of Little Phoenix, hurried and fought back, and retreated to a pile of boxes, and suddenly lifted the boxes towards Little Phoenix, while shouting: "Hi, O Mr. King. This boy is so great, come and help me! "
Little Finis blocked the boxes with his hands, and couldn't help swearing. At this time, he suddenly saw a sword stab on his side. He was frightened and saw the sword to himself. The man had handed over the sword to several people on his own side, "Unlucky. This guy is at least a captain-level figure!" Hurrying to raise the sword one stop, when the sound was crisp. He almost couldn't hold his sword and let the sword fly out of the hand. He was taken aback only to realize that he still underestimated the other party: "This guy has the strength of silver midstream!"
But at this time it was too late to regret it. His sword was cut open, and the empty door opened wide for a while. Little Phoenix watched the sword stab at himself. But he clenched his teeth and was unwilling to abandon the sword. There was only one thought in his heart: "It's over, eldest sister, brother Brando, I don't know if I can see you in my next life!"
But he hadn't had time to close his eyes. Then he saw a cold, sharp sword appearing beside him, when he held up the man's sword. Then a flower bloomed in front of him, and he saw that the two men forced the sword back in succession. The speed of the sword made him fascinated. He never thought that swordplay could be so clean and clear. Before the idea fell, the inspection cavalry captain had been The comer handed the sword, and was held down by his chest, pushed out, and fell heavily on the open space.
This technique surprised the audience, and the two sides at war stopped in unison to look in this direction.
At this time, Little Phoenix finally saw who the man suddenly appeared in front of him. He still couldn't help but stare with surprise and opened his mouth: "Big ... big, big sister ... wow!" It's a pity not to say After speaking, Freya put her face out of her ears. "It hurts, it hurts, Big Sister's head is about to let go!" Little Finis almost didn't shed tears, but she didn't dare to resist, not at all The calmness of the previous look was like a child who did the wrong thing.
"Aren't you prosperous, why didn't you lose your sword just now?" Freya asked angrily.
"I'm wrong, I won't dare again next time," Little Phoenix said with a grin, but in the corner of his eye, when he saw Brando aside, he still couldn't help but cried in surprise: "Bran Brother, you are back too, great! "
Freya snorted softly and let go of the guy's ear, who hurried away from it, as if the knight was a dragon that would eat and die-Little Finis rubbed it Rubbing her face and watching the two of them suddenly appeared as if still dreaming. At this time, the two warring parties also separated, and returned to their previous positions. Most of the young people on Butcher's side have recognized Freya and Brando. Only a few people from the north have not seen these two people. The inspection cavalry was a little bit lost, and they certainly saw that Brando and Freya were obviously on the side of the gangsters, but the sword art of the other side was really terrible. Anyone who has seen Freya before At the moment, the person who shot the scene couldn't bear the thought of resistance at the moment. Others, after listening to their peers' descriptions, were mostly suspicious.
But the captain of the Cavaliers who was knocked down by Freya noticed more details. The inspection cavalry who came to help him was still in his ear asking what to do next, but he glanced at Freya's Epaulets, could not help but give the latter a stern glance.
The Royal Knights, Captain Cavaliers--
His face was all white, and he never dreamed of it. How could there be a royal family behind them in this group of Butch refugees. When he wanted to come, these foreigners had no roots and no locals. Even if they were bullied, they might not be bullied. Find someone to give them a shot. But now, not only are some people in the early stage, but the other party's origin is not small, the Knight Captain of the Royal Knights, Martha is on, this kind of backcountry may not always see one in his life.
Brando greeted Essen and Markmy from a distance, then glanced at the patrol cavalry before asking Phoenix: "What's going on?"
"What the **** is going on?" Freya asked at the same time, but she immediately found out that Brando had thought of going together again, couldn't help flushing, and closed her mouth subconsciously. Of course, this scene made little Phoenix look at him. He was still a ignorant boy, but now he has grown a lot. He couldn't help but laughed in his heart. He thought that the older sister still liked Brother Brando. He looked around. I was a little curious about where the lady witch went. Everyone in the militia knew the relationship between Brando and Roman, but the residents of Butch always called Roman and her aunt the witch.
"What are you looking at!" Freya glared at this guy's thoughts at a glance.
Little Phoenix was startled, and hurriedly watched the nose and heart. Freya used to be the captain of the militia. When she was still in Butch, what Phoenix was most afraid of was the older sister's head. Brando looked at the relationship between them and was a little funny, but he was slightly relieved that it seemed that Freya had at least temporarily forgotten what happened to her, which was what he meant. He was also a little surprised at Phoenix, when he fled in Butch. In the past, this boy only showed a little extraordinary talent in swordplay, but now this talent has been fully demonstrated in him. The battle just now From the beginning to the end, he and Freya had a panoramic view. The strength shown by Little Phoenix was faintly touched the edge of the silver stage. This growth rate is really terrible. You must know that Little Phoenix has been in this for more than a year and a half. Has been in Butch, accepting Madden's instructions, but not as many encounters as Freya and Bryson.
In fact, Brando also noticed that the strength of this group of young people mostly went up the black iron, and many of them have touched the edge of the silver stage, which was unimaginable in the past. With a little thought, he understood that it seemed that the influence of the great magic wave had begun to show.
These thoughts turned around in his head and came back to the matter now. He smiled at Phoenix and said, "Little Phoenix, let's go, what's going on?"
Unlike Freya, little Phoenix dared not be in front of her, but he only had a full worship for Brando, and when Brando spoke, he hurried from start to finish since the last time the inspection cavalry had been in trouble. At the suggestion of Count Nagin, the whole thing was described in detail.
When Freya heard it, her face sank.
