Great Nobleman

all in all.

Although Brand is not a thick-skinned knight like Yersin.

But he was no longer the noble young master who had no power to protect himself.

Although faced with bandits who wanted to rob the caravan, all Brand could do was stay in the carriage and not go anywhere.

But at least he can speak a little louder...

cough!

Because of the threat of bandits, it was rare for Brand to want to do something serious at this time.

According to my teacher, after becoming a junior mage apprentice, I will have a spiritual space.

The mental space can store a certain amount of mental power in it.

The stored mental power can be recalled when needed, allowing oneself to have a higher upper limit of mental power in a short period of time.

——This means a lot to Brand!

With the current upper limit of Brand's spiritual power, if the innate ability manifested through fantasy is manifested as a liquid, the volume can reach about 300 milliliters.

But if it is a solid with a higher density, it can only realize things with the volume of 5 or 6 coffee beans.

The usefulness is extremely limited!

In order to make his talent play a greater role as soon as possible, Brand purchased a small batch of magic cores before leaving school.

Although the number of them will not allow him to directly become a junior mage apprentice, this time will inevitably be much earlier.

Then, under Catherine's amazed eyes, Brand "pulled out" a magic core the size of a baby's fist from his chest, and began to absorb it with concentration.

...

From Brand's point of view, the rest of the trip was undoubtedly a lot calmer, at least he didn't see any bandits attacking the caravan again.

In this way, the caravan advanced safely for a day.

At this time, a scout in front of him rushed back on a fast horse to report the news.

Seeing the scouts in such a hurry, they exchanged slogans to confirm the identity of the scouts.

Yersin, one of the caravan leaders, quickly asked if he had found any special situation ahead.

The scout didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "About 1.5 kilometers ahead, someone piled up gravel and wood to block the road."

"All alert! Defensive formation!"

With Yersin's shout, the caravan changed rapidly.

Unlike yesterday's casual attack, the caravan's carriages quickly gathered together this time.

The guards rode war horses and surrounded the carriage and entourage that needed protection.

At the same time, Yersin fired a signal arrow emitting white smoke into the sky.

——This is for the scouts who went out to report the situation.

Yersin judged that since there were roadblocks on the road ahead.

Then it is very likely that there are enemies ambushing nearby.

The range of activities of the scouts is about 2 kilometers from the convoy as the center.

According to the instructions issued earlier, the scouts will shoot red signal arrows into the sky when encountering enemies.

Although so far no scouts have been seen to "warn".

But it is also possible that the scouts were poisoned before they could send out a signal.

After all, if Yersin were to rob the caravan instead.

He wouldn't give the scouts a chance to signal.

He'll sneak around caravans and strike suddenly, leaving no time for the caravan to react.

The moment Yersin shot the signal arrow.

With the caravan as the center, dozens of signal arrows emitting white smoke slowly rose into the sky.

Then, all the guards looked in the direction of the caravan with solemn eyes.

——Only the scout over there did not respond.

—The enemy came from the rear.

The entire caravan was filled with the breath of a storm.

At this time, the head of the guard Anderson leaned forward and gave Yersin a look.

Yersin understood in seconds.

"Then the captain of the bodyguard Anderson will take full command!"

After softly saying these words, Yersin turned his horse and headed towards Brand's carriage.

Although he was very confident in the strength of his own guards, Yersin still handed over the command to Anderson, the head of the guard, just to be cautious.

——It’s not scary anymore!

It's just that as an older brother, Yersin wants to protect his weak younger brother!

after all!

He is currently only a senior knight apprentice.

Many scouts are a little stronger than him.

Catherine, who was guarding the door of Brand's carriage, opened the door and let him in after seeing Yersin coming.

At this time, facing Yersin, who had been lying on the car window as soon as he came in, Brand cast a puzzled look.

I thought Yersin came here because he had something to say to him...but why did he lie on the edge of the window.

Logically speaking, shouldn't Yersin berate Fang Qiu outside at this time?

He is one of the leaders of the caravan!

Why did you come in and hide with him?

How can such a timid person revitalize the family! ?

However, seeing Yersin's solemn expression, Brand stopped teasing him, and began to worry about the situation outside.

"What's going on now?" he asked.

Yersin said solemnly: "It's hard to say, the enemy should have come from behind, and the scouts over there were killed before they had time to set off the flare."

Brand's face also became serious.

Soon, loud shouts of killing came from behind the caravan.

"Arc formation! Keep formation!"

At this time, Anderson, who had taken over Yersin's command, was standing on top of a carriage.

Wearing heavy armor, holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other.

Looking at the neatly changing infantry team below, Anderson nodded in satisfaction.

Although most of the guards are cavalry, the commercial roads are too narrow and surrounded by mountains and forests.

After comprehensive consideration, Anderson chose to fight on foot.

Although the enemy in front of him was dressed in the same way as yesterday, they were all dressed in coarse cloth and equipped with all kinds of weapons.

But this time, the number of people was much higher than before.

Moreover, he keenly has a hint of threat looming from the team in front of him.

Considering the personal safety of the two young masters, he had to be cautious.

"Raise the shield!"

Following Anderson's order, the well-trained guards quickly raised their shields to block the bodies of themselves and their companions.

next moment.

Scattered and inaccurate arrows were thrown from the opposite side, and then fell on the guard's shield, which was firmly blocked.

When the bandits approached to a certain distance, Anderson continued to order:

"Put down the shield! Put up the spear!"

"prick!"

Under Anderson's command, the guards of the Holland family's caravan were like hedgehogs, methodically harvesting the lives of the bandits.

However, the opponent always has the advantage in numbers, and the arc-shaped battle formation gradually retreats and shrinks under the oppression of the gangsters who are not afraid of death.

The current situation is still within Anderson's expectations.

Although the opponent has an advantage in numbers, the mobs make up the vast majority of them.

Currently guarding the outermost guards of the Holland family, they are at least as strong as senior knight apprentices like Yersin.

Therefore, although the defense line retreated and shrunk again and again, with such an offensive method, it would take a long time and a huge sacrifice to break through the defense line.

Anderson didn't think the ragtag would have the courage to make it to that point.

Suddenly, Anderson's eyes froze.

After the shield in his left hand shoved away the arrows that came suddenly, the spear in his right hand was quickly raised, aimed at a figure who "rushed" to the front of the formation with the crowd, and threw it out forcefully.

With a "bang".

A gangster gets speared through the heart by Anderson.

Although he was dressed in the same way as the bandits around him, the aura he erupted before his death revealed his extraordinary strength.

——Intermediate knight.

If it weren't for Anderson's quick reaction, the iron barrel formation might have been broken by this "bandit".

Anderson looked a little ugly.

He knows that this is just the beginning.
