Chapter 348: Mediocre Knight Secret Skills
Sensing the violent movement coming from the center of the mine behind him, Brand stopped checking the harvest and took Catherine to concentrate on running.
In terms of body size, the tauren in the mine behind him is almost the same as the tauren encountered under the furnace volcano.
You know, the tauren in the Furnace Volcano resisted several of his sublimated spell scrolls, and finally used the Twilight Cross to completely kill him.
——The strength of this tauren is almost the same.
So if he really provokes this tauren, he will most likely have to consume two more large magic level spell scroll reserves to "get" him!
Based on this fact, Brand felt that it was better to run away if he could.
The other party did not provoke them, and there was no need to consume precious spell scroll reserves for this.
What's more, this is outside the border area.
——There is no merit for killing the orcs!
When Brand ran out of the mine area with Catherine, he sensed a force similar to the power of the Great Knight spreading around.
——This is the power called "will" unique to the big orcs!
Mr. Holland once told him about this special power.
Ordinary big orcs can only use it to strengthen themselves. Only the best among the big orcs can make it spread around and then issue "commands" to the surrounding environment like the power of a great knight.
It can be seen from here that the tauren behind him is indeed extraordinary!
Unfortunately, this method cannot detect him and Catherine in the hidden barrier.
According to his teacher, it is almost impossible to detect this kind of hidden barrier if the strength of the magicians in Farnes Continent is equal to or below.
——This is also the confidence that Brand dares to get close to the tauren and cause trouble!
After leaving the mine and taking Catherine for a short distance in the direction of Snow Castle, Brand suddenly pulled Catherine in another direction.
——In the field of vision, the big orc moved towards their direction with a large group of orcs.
The opponent is not moving very fast, as if he is conducting a carpet search all the way this way.
Soon, not far from the two of them, the big orc led a group of young men dressed in different clothes, exploring in the southeast direction along a straight line.
——That's the direction of Snow Castle!
Seeing this scene, Brand rubbed his chin with one hand and guessed:
"The tauren must have sensed the two of us the moment before I opened the concealment barrier.
Because the group of orcs did not find us later. So he probably suspected that we two humans had stolen his animal skin bag.
And since they were humans, the direction of escape should naturally be the nearest Xueshan Castle, so they searched all the way in the direction of Xueshan Castle. In the past?"
At the end of the sentence, Brand's tone was a little uncertain.
——After all, this kind of analysis has many loopholes!
However, Catherine nodded with approval, indicating that she thought Brand was right.
Seeing Catherine's gesture, Brand's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.
After staying in place for a while and looking at the surrounding situation, Brand said,
"Let's go back. This big orc is wandering around, and it's not good for us to run around."
Catherine smiled and said, "Everyone. " Listen to the master!"
Next, after adding an acceleration spell to himself, Brand maintained the concealment barrier, followed the orc's path, and led Catherine towards Snow Castle.
Along the way, Brand thought that the tauren and his little brother would stop somewhere.
But what surprised him was that they had already passed the boundary line, and the other party was still nowhere to be seen.
——If you go further, it will be covered by the empire's large war array.
If the opponent does not have that kind of special concealment method, the intelligence map of the War Information Room will mark the opponent as soon as possible, and the garrison of Snow Cedar Castle will also be mobilized as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Brand took out the external screen of the empty screen and connected it to the war information room.
——In the area near the border in the north of Snow Castle, a large red star was slowly moving in the direction of Snow Castle.
Seeing this scene on the intelligence map, Brand couldn't help but admire the courage of this big orc.
Next to her, Catherine also saw the intelligence map. She was a little confused and asked:
"Could there be something important to him in this animal skin bag?"
Dian shook the heavy animal skin bag in his hand, and the cloth Rand said leisurely:
"Who knows, it belongs to us now anyway!"
Because according to the intelligence map, Snow Cedar Castle has sent three imperial legions to intercept it.
Therefore, Brand and Catherine took a slight detour to avoid being affected by their battle.
When the sun walked to the atrium, the two returned to the Legion garrison at Snow Cedar Castle.
After washing up and changing her clothes, Catherine went to prepare lunch, while Brand prepared to count the harvest.
But at this time, Yersen and Finn came over.
Brand thought they were here to see the shield style.
After all, according to previous communications, Finn was planning to build a two-handed shield.
But after a brief conversation, he discovered that it was not the case.
"Did Catherine find a knight's secret skill that adds immunity to weak damage to attacks?"
Suddenly hearing Yersin ask this question, Brand was confused for a moment.
After thinking for a while, Brand realized that what Yersin was talking about was the "shield attack knight's secret skill" that Catherine used in the underground mine.
That knight's secret skill was obtained from the bandits in the chaotic area more than half a year ago.
Although this type of knight's secret skills is indeed relatively rare, its power can only be said to be very average.
Brand also knows the specific effects of this knight's secret skill.
Specifically, the internal form of damage it causes to the enemy is "the enemy hits the shield", and the specific external manifestation is "the shield swings quickly".
Originally, the function of this knight's secret skill was only to allow Catherine to wield a heavy shield at a faster speed, so that she could have a certain attack power when using a large two-handed shield.
However, due to the special characteristic of having a shield that is immune to weak damage, Catherine's attack power when using a large two-handed shield has also increased.
The increase is actually not that high. At most, it only gives Catherine the attack power of an ordinary knight.
And in order to have such attack power, in addition to using the shield carefully crafted by Brand.
It is also necessary to superimpose various knight secret skills that can improve the shield's defense, so that the shield can be "immune" to maximum damage.
According to Catherine, if she really wants to pursue attack, the Holland family has several secret knight skills, which can directly allow her to perform attacks at the level of a great knight, without the need for such a cumbersome process.
It's just that the damage caused by those knight's secret skills is a small dot or a thin line, and the damage area is not as large as a shield hitting it.
——Since the Holland family has better offensive knight secret skills, why does Yersin care so much about that rare but mediocre knight secret skill?
It can't be that Yersin is also planning to change his weapon to a two-handed shield, right?
