Chapter 423: Act 129 Reinforcements (Part 3)_2
Moreover, just a single additional high-ranked warrior who has awakened their Element would make the situation considerably more complicated—
After all, although Alorz clearly has the racial advantage, facing two warriors who have half-awakened their Elements along with a Gold Level warrior like Macaro, it seems this young dragon girl might also be struggling!
He couldn’t help but glance around the forest and suddenly thought of another issue:
“Bali Dan Dain is Duke Lune’s most capable deputy, and a noble with real power. If he’s here, could it be that the Duke of Lantoni has brought the army over as well?” Brand looked carefully and indeed saw shadows moving in the forest. Holy cow, he couldn’t help but cry out internally. There are so many of them! Openly dispatching an army into another lord’s territory—does Duke Lune want to start a war with Count Rangdenier?
But wait! Brand immediately realized something was wrong. Duke Lune is not just here to retrieve his only son.
Realizing this, his mind flashed like a bolt of lightning, and he immediately thought of a small Royal Family territory on the other side of Rangdenier’s border. Isn’t that the private territory of the Princess where the Cavalry Academy is located? Damn! The Shepherd Tree Man is being massively deceived this time. The Duke of Lantoni is using a strategy of appearing strong in one place while secretly striking another!
Due to being a newbie, Brand had barely experienced Erune’s internal war back then, so although he knew the rough events and the final outcome, he didn’t know the specific process. It now seemed that the Princess had been gathering troops from all around long before, which explained why she had stabilized the front lines from the beginning. He wondered how she could hold out so long until the situation changed!
He glanced at the Cunning Fox in front of him, knowing full well whose plan this was. Although this guy’s face was somewhat detestable, his personal ability was indeed first-rate.
Brand couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself that his luck must be incredible; otherwise, this cunning old fox would have played him for a fool.
Cursing his bad luck internally, he asked Alorz in a low voice, “Miss Alorz, why didn’t you remind me earlier—”
He was referring to the appearance of those troops.
“The magic reaction was so strong just now that it attracted all my attention. Besides, they are just some insects, nothing worth noting except maybe the slightly stronger one in front of you.”
“Insects?” Brand thought, that’s an army out there. From where he stood, he could see at least a thousand men, and that was probably just a part of it. Bali always liked to use overwhelming force against smaller numbers; he openly said his favorite hobby, besides playing poker, was bullying the weak with superior numbers. Although this was a joke, it said a lot about his character. Moreover, with two super warriors who had half-awakened their Elements, young dragon missy, are you really sure you can handle this?
“Of course, just a trifle.” Alorz replied disdainfully.
Brand didn’t believe her for a second. He thought to himself, you think I haven’t seen dragons before? Although I’m just an ordinary human now, I was quite something back then, having killed no less than eighty dragons. I know very well what level they are at in different age stages.
Understanding this, Brand became cautious, waiting to see what this Bali Dan Dain had to say next.
“So,” Count Violet continued, “in fact, you are not a dragon, correct?”
Huh?
Brand thought, can this be? Although he isn’t a dragon, that ancient String Magic just now was real!
“But his Dragon Clan Magic…” Macaro was puzzled and asked. However, Liwu interrupted him: “If I’m not mistaken, it should be the effect of a scroll, right? Since Mr. Brand could acquire the Golden Apple and a Divine Artifact, obtaining a Dragon Language Scroll shouldn’t be difficult either.”
Hearing this response, Brand couldn’t help but twitch his mouth. He thought, Liwu, you’re a Chief Wizard of the Royal Court, and yet you can’t tell the difference between Dragon Language Magic and a Dragon Language Scroll? But then he realized with a start; Liwu couldn’t possibly be making this kind of basic mistake at this stage in his life, as he hadn’t even reached his peak yet.
If it’s not that possibility.
Then it could only be another possibility.
Brand immediately grimaced, and asked internally, “Miss Alorz, the scroll you used…?”
He received a confirmed answer immediately.
“Why?” he asked.
“You see, this is the only way they dare to attack you, right?” Alorz smiled slightly, clearly pleased with herself: “I haven’t beaten anyone up in a long time—”
Brand sighed. That might be true, but the problem now is that they might not win, miss! Thinking this, he decided he couldn’t rely on this unpredictable young lady, so he took a deep breath and said, “Perhaps you’re right, Mr. Bali Dan Dain. But you can try and see how many spells like this I have, can’t you?”
Bali chuckled and shook his head: “No matter how many scrolls you have, do you have the confidence to oppose us and an entire army? Mr. Brand, this is unwise. So please, hand over the Golden Apple—”
At that moment, Brand wanted nothing more than to punch this guy in the face and smash that fake smile to pieces. But just as he was thinking of a way to counter, another group of people suddenly emerged from the forest—
In fact, it was from the eastern bushes that came a rustling sound—
Then, in everyone’s view, appeared more than twenty fully armored, blood-soaked elite Elf Warriors.
“Indeed. What about adding us to the equation?”
Namenis took off his helmet and lifted his head, gazing coldly at Count Bali, and replied thus.
Gold Rank, Silver Elves…
Liwu and Macaro felt their eyes twitch uncontrollably…
Bali Dan Dain was also stunned. How long had it been since he last saw the Silver Elves? The Count of Violet stared at these twenty-odd individuals, finally squeezing out a sentence with difficulty, “Silver Elves, the ancient allies. You are the only race that didn’t join the civil war. So today, for the sake of this man, you’re going to wage war against humans?”
Namenis nodded, glancing at Brand: “I owe him a promise.”
“Alright,” Bali sighed: “But even so, do you think you can rely on twenty people to contend with Duke Lune’s army? I admit you are the finest warriors, but my subordinates—”
But he couldn’t finish his sentence.
In fact, it wasn’t just him; suddenly, everyone present couldn’t utter a sound.
Because, including Brand, everyone saw a vast field of dazzling silver in the forest, along with the holy unicorns under the Silver Elf Knights…
The Holy Song Corps.
