Chapter 175: Act 18 Shift_3

Of course, as long as he separates Reto and others to command, he can still dispatch more people. But it is completely unnecessary now, as when the Madara army quickly spreads to the flanks, the central forces are inevitably thinned out—the conditions for a counterattack are fully mature.

Brand has far more outstanding reconnaissance soldiers than Madara. He certainly has the right to choose when, where, and how to engage in battle with Madara’s troops. This is his greatest advantage.

Now he will use this advantage to strike back into the heart of Madara, leaving them uncertain about what he intends to do.

However, he stopped his horse and did not rush to explain his intentions but first looked at Frey. The girl looked pale and unsteady on her horse, and he couldn’t help but ask, "Frey, do you need to get down and rest for a while?"

Frey glared at him irritably.

Brand smiled bitterly, "It’s your fault for being strong and getting injured. I told you to let me bandage you, but you wouldn’t listen."

The future Valkyrie’s face instantly turned red to the neck upon hearing this and thought to herself, what shameless things is this guy saying? How could a girl let him bandage her? It’s simply preposterous.

She was deeply resentful that Brand would spout nonsense the moment he opened his mouth, and she couldn’t help but turn her head away to avoid further misunderstanding from the others.

However, Brand was a bit stunned when he saw this, thinking Char wouldn’t have deceived him, right? How could he see that Frey liked him from this? He couldn’t help but look back at the young mage follower with a skeptical face.

"Lord, is there anything I can do for you?" Char, feeling uneasy under his gaze, could only ask boldly.

"No, nothing," Brand quickly shook his head.

Brand turned back only to find a group of mercenaries smiling and looking at him and Frey. In fact, throughout the past day and night, they had already inquired from Char about all the relationships between their lord and the two ladies beside him.

However, it was this side of Brand that truly made them feel a sense of familiarity, pulling him back from the many auras around him to their side. People are always willing to believe in someone like themselves. They may respect a genius, but they won’t truly trust one from the bottom of their hearts.

"What are you all laughing at?"

"No, nothing, Lord, you must be mistaken," they answered in unison.

"I hope so," Brand gave them a stern look, "Or else you better watch your butts! Anyway, I don’t want to explain too much. I’ll just say one thing—prepare for battle!"

He drew his sword.

As the refugees once again gathered under Brand’s sword.

As soon as this massive force turned around, the ’Blood Witch’ Leidios suffered misfortune first. This time, Brand did not hide their tactical intention at all—his tactic was simple: fast, and even faster!

Five hundred self-defense corps and over fifty cavalry surged through the squad Leidios had positioned to his left like a dragon. Over two hundred skeleton soldiers were utterly unable to withstand Brand’s relentless assault.

When the young man led his knights like a whirlwind, sweeping through in an instant, it took Leidios half an hour to realize he had lost his left flank.

And by the time this Intermediate Necromancer reported the news back to Magus, Brand had already advanced another three miles. At this moment, he was standing on the corpse of the last squad leader under Gulob’s command, urging his refugees to speed up.

Continuously accelerating.

He couldn’t help but glance at the White Deer statue. There were approximately fifty minutes left until the Throne of the Knight appeared in the night sky—
