Chapter 578 The situation moving forward!
The next morning, Buxton Central Opera House.
When the sun was slightly high in the sky, Brand sat up from the bed sleepily, and then stretched out.
The offense went exceptionally well against Buxton last night.
Because the Cardan royal family withdrew many defenders in advance and took away a lot of ordnance.
None of Buxton's defenders had much fighting spirit.
Originally, Brand was wary of the Rosenkar family cavalry regiment stationed not far from Buxton.
However, when they actually started to attack Buxton, the Rosenkar family's cavalry regiment began to retreat southward, heading to the Moreton Desert to join the Bruns Empire garrison there.
——This should be due to uncertainty about their strength, or a special instruction from the Bruns Empire.
In short, because of all the above.
During the entire process of capturing Buxton, they did not encounter a powerful enemy.
——Hisali used the power of the Great Knight and swept all the way.
That is to say, the defense of the city gate caused them a little trouble.
As an important city in the southern part of the Cardan Kingdom, Buxton is not comparable to Black Rock Town in terms of population or area.
Therefore, after capturing Buxton, in order to completely bring Buxton under control and maintain order in the city.
The Imperial agents and the members of the Golden Opera House were busy until late at night.
Recalling what happened last night, Brand got up and walked to the window and opened the curtains.
——The streets outside the Opera House were full of soldiers patrolling.
Many people were knocking on doors to register and promote their ideas of anti-royal neutrality and the future provisional system of city management in Buxton.
This system is provided by Rias.
According to her, she has implemented this management system many times in other similar cities.
The advantage is that the city can be stabilized quickly and the citizens will not have much resistance.
Because this was an area that Brand was not good at, he simply delegated the relevant matters to Rias.
In the current Buxton, in addition to their golden opera house, there are more than ten neutral forces anti-royal factions.
Although compared to them, these forces are weak and do not have the combat power at the level of magisters or even great knights.
But there are still a lot of people.
After they occupied Buxton, these forces all had the idea of following them.
Imperial agents are trying their best to make this happen.
While he was thinking, the door to the room was opened and Catherine walked in.
Brand immediately turned away from the window sill, changed clothes, washed up, and had breakfast.
After breakfast time, Brand sat on the chair in the office and drank tea lazily.
When he was considering whether to read a book for a while to catch up on his learning progress or draw a spell scroll.
Rias knocked on the door and walked in with the magister named Cohen who they captured in Black Rock Town the night before.
After entering the office.
Rias bowed slightly, and then explained to Brand:
"Mr. Brand, this Mr. Cohen Cagan has signed a contract this morning to join our Golden Opera House.
I will bring him to see you."
Then, Rias turned to Cohen and said:
"Mr. Cohen, this is the leader of our Golden Opera House, Mr. Brand Holland, who is also the mage who fought with you the night before yesterday." After hearing
this explanation Afterwards, Brand showed a friendly smile, and then said:
"Welcome to join, Mr. Cohen!"
After hearing Brand's words, Cohen quickly responded:
"This is my honor!"
Immediately afterwards , carefully looked at Brand's immature appearance in front of him.
And after sensing the magical aura of the "ordinary junior mage".
Cohen couldn't help but become confused.
——Is this really the powerful mage he fought with the night before?
Seemingly sensing the gentleman's doubts, Rias explained:
"Although Mr. Brand is only a junior mage at the moment, he has already defeated many magisters, great knights and even great orcs.
It is our card." One of the few strong men in the Ya Empire."
Hearing this explanation, although he couldn't understand it at all.
But Cohen also showed a respectful expression.
After briefly chatting with Mr. Cohen, Brand curiously asked Rias:
"Didn't the other great knight choose to join us?"
Rias responded:
"That gentleman is The collateral members of the Maddox family have no intention of joining us for the time being."
After hearing this, Brand understood somewhat.
——Maddox is the surname of the Cardin royal family.
It seems that until the Cardan royal family is completely overthrown, it will be difficult for the great knight to be persuaded to surrender.
Next, Brand will be reported on the progress of persuading the Buxton garrison to surrender and annexing various anti-royal neutral factions.
Rias left Brand's office with Cohen.
After taking another sip of tea, Brand asked Catherine:
"What is Hisari doing?"
Catherine quickly responded:
"At this point in time, she should be learning how to become a qualified guard."
After hearing this, Brand also nodded in approval.
All the while, Catherine was working as a bodyguard beside him.
Now that she has Hisari, Catherine can concentrate on serving him.
Let your body sink into the soft seat.
Catherine's white and tender hands covered the top of his head and began to massage him.
Feel the comfort on your scalp.
Brand also took out a book from the space necklace and started reading leisurely.
——In the next period of time, their task is to work hard to digest the current gains, and then expand their power to the surrounding areas.
——At the same time, we are also waiting for the situation to develop forward!
...
On the afternoon that Brand took Buxton with his men.
On the northeastern edge of the Moraiton Desert, the Bruns Empire Corps is stationed.
Many legions of the Bruns Empire suddenly gathered and stood ready in the southeast direction.
Not long after, opposite them, many legions that far exceeded theirs were slowly approaching.
It can be seen from the flags of these legions:
they come from different countries!
When the distance between the two parties shortened to a somewhat dangerous level.
The Bruns Empire Legion issued a warning not to approach any further.
After hearing this warning, the other party not only did not stop, but started to accelerate.
As a result, a more-versus-few wild war quickly unfolded!
...
At dusk, the two sides, each with a winner and a loser, called a truce.
After a period of repairs, the garrison of the Bruns Empire received a remote magic message from the country that made them somewhat confused.
[Retreat temporarily and wait for follow-up instructions in a safe area! 】
——Did another major incident occur that caused them to temporarily retreat?
In fact, it's been a day or two since the "Knight Golem Rebellion" happened in various places.
Many of the vassal states of the Bruns Empire have encountered rebellions such as the Kingdom of Cardan and Brand's capture of Buxton.
At the same time, many garrisons of the Bruns Empire outside the country were also attacked by different forces.
This includes their Bruns Empire Legion stationed around the Moraiton Desert!
