Chapter 472: Act 154 Dawn (6) (Update 1)_2
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s nothing,” Brand replied, “Thank you.”
Qian was slightly taken aback, she looked up at the young man for a mont, then lowered her head again.
Brand looked ahead, suddenly shifting his gaze away from Kabais and directing it towards where disha was. The Silver Elf Princess slightly raised an eyebrow, as if sensing sothing. She turned the unicorn’s head and placed her lance horizontally—
The rcenaries imdiately ca to a halt.
Although their nominal commander was still Crenxia, the performance of this Silver Elf girl in the previous battles had deeply impressed them—whether in bravery or wisdom, even the silver-haired middle-aged rcenary group leader himself had to admit—the gap between himself and disha was simply too vast.
Moreover, they originally thought only Gruding’s private army would be involved in this battle, but now Madara’s side had joined forcefully, leaving everyone bewildered. After all, the horror of those undead armies from the Black Rose War still lingered in everyone’s mind in this region.
Under such circumstances, they had to subconsciously rely on those who could grasp the situation.
For instance, disha.
For instance, Brand.
“Lord?” disha’s voice ca through the mind link, “Not pursuing them?”
“The undead have reinforcents.”
Brand looked around, the lurking aura on the battlefield had beco apparent, though it seed the opponent hadn’t noticed he had discovered it—
The young man gazed in a particular direction, his brow slightly furrowed, the swirling black mist in the shadows caught his attention: such an advanced Dark Curtain!
The young man’s heart tightened.
“disha, be careful!” Brand scread internally, but it was already too late. By that ti, a shadow had shot towards the Silver Elf Princess on the unicorn’s back. With a sharp sound of weapons clashing, Brand saw the elf girl being struck away, flying far into the crowd.
“Silver Elf?” The shadow let out a surprised noise after the successful strike. But he imdiately retreated, like a black line refracting repeatedly off the surrounding buildings, landing in the middle of the road after several leaps—
Brand finally saw the opponent clearly.
The familiar black chain armor and cloak made the young man gasp. When his gaze fell on the scythe gripped tightly in the opponent’s sharp tal gloves, his heart sank.
However, what tightened his pupils the most was the eerie tal mask, one side laughing while the other cried.
It was one of the Four Horsen of the Apocalypse, the Just Judge, White.
Brand had anticipated that after yesterday’s conflict, Madara and Gruding would station more forces in the city. But he didn’t expect to face this troubleso figure.
Of course, in this era, the title Four Horsen of the Apocalypse didn’t exist yet. In terms of strength, the strongest of these four should be the Green Knight, Marvolo, currently the commander of the ‘Wolf Plague’ legion.
As for the one he’d least want to face among the four knights, it would be this mysterious Black Knight, the Just Judge—White.
The reason was simple: the opponent was too clever. Not only was his personal strength formidable, but he was also an exceptional commander. With him here, Brand felt his plan would suffer significantly. He couldn’t help but instinctively glance south and west, feeling it would be hard to deceive this outstanding commander dubbed the ‘Balance of the Battlefield.’ But fortunately—
This might be the only piece of luck.
The most feared opponent had appeared in the area where Brand was most confident, otherwise encountering this guy during the final stage would truly be a headache.
He couldn’t help but grip the sword hilt tightly, cold sweat forming in his palm, determined to leave this guy behind tonight. Kabais could be disposed of at will, but White must be kept.
“White Tiyamas Qiu Yue.” Brand forced himself to calm down, saying, “The ‘Balance of the Battlefield’ in Madara’s legend—Tagus, who seems to have lost an eye, thinks highly of , sending his deputy here.”
As soon as he said this, the battlefield went silent.
The title ‘Balance of the Battlefield’ was not well-known in Erune, but the title of Tagus’ deputy was enough to make everyone shudder. In fact, those rcenaries lifting disha off the ground almost dropped their weapons upon hearing this—Kabais, Tagus’ deputy, what was happening, why were these legendary nas appearing one by one tonight in this remote place.
Especially Crenxia, the silver-haired middle-aged man almost turned even paler, struggling not to lose his composure. Initially, he thought he had chosen the right side, but now he looked at White, then at Brand, regretting his decision imnsely.
Either side, he shouldn’t have gotten involved!
The Black Knight was slightly taken aback.
“It seems you know us well,” a magnetic voice ca from beneath the tal mask, “Human, you are not Viscount Gangsiting. Nor are you Brand of Buqi—you say you are a Highland Knight, but a Black Tower Wizard wouldn’t know Madara so well.”
“It looks like our investigation failed completely, human.”
He sneered slightly, “But I personally have a guess, I suspect, you are an ‘Ancestor’—”
Ancestor!?
Brand imdiately heard Qian behind him gasp lightly.
