Compared to the young man’s emotional fluctuations, Brando was not at all surprised because the drama set to unfold that evening was just beginning. He pointed downward and asked, "Roman, can you see what kind of people are leading down there?"
Sanfde and the Silver Elf Commander were both stunned. How could this be possible? The ruins of the Silver Elf were at least seven or eight miles away from here, and the torch lights below appeared as faint as fireflies from the mountain top, let alone identifying the people holding the torches. But soon they realized the lady who had been with them was not an ordinary person because Roman quickly nodded and said, "Of course, I can! Well... the team on the far left, the one leading looks like a lizard, Brando."
"That’s the Lizardman Commander He Youji’er, continue." Brando glanced at Roman, fully aware of the ability of the Merchant Lady. Last time in Ridenburg, she could clearly see Madara’s army several miles away in an almost starless night. Now, with moonlight and the torch lights, it was simply too easy to see the opposition.
"Then the team in the middle, the leader is a human. A young man, wearing leather armor... Seems like he has something strange following him." Roman described the object carefully, and Brando immediately said, "Conrad and the Earth Envoy. Strange, the two of them are together. So who’s leading the third team? Little Roman?" The rightful source is N()velFire.net
The Merchant Lady nodded and focused on the third team, then described what she saw.
"Wearing a robe? Black, with several red edges?"
"I can’t see that clearly, Brando."
Brando pondered for a moment: "It’s the Dark Priest of the Black Fire Sect. I didn’t expect such a guy to be here. It seems like the one who cursed Qian is this fellow, just uncertain about his tier. But according to Redi, he shouldn’t exceed Middle Rank."
"So, Lord, should we stick to the original plan?" Sanfde asked.
This was indeed a question.
Brando’s initial plan was to eliminate the Earth Envoy first. But now that the Earth Envoy and Conrad were together, engaging them meant a tough battle. The tough battle was secondary; he feared he couldn’t hold the opposition. If they managed to retreat, it would be troublesome. It wasn’t impossible — the Envoy was at least a Level 50 BOSS, equivalent to an ordinary Level 65 monster, meaning he had refined elements and was five levels higher than his Silver Elf Guards at their peak. Coupled with Conrad of Gold level aiding him, detaining them wouldn’t be easy.
And luring only worked once; the opposition wasn’t stupid enough to fall repeatedly into the same trap. Therefore, he had to gain the maximum benefit from this single success.
Brando stroked his chin, feeling a bit troubled. What should he do? Eliminating a Lizardman or a Dark Priest seemed somewhat inconsequential?
But wait, Dark Priest?
He immediately thought of another problem — damn it! That was a Dark Priest, what is a Dark Priest? Isn’t that a Dark Elemental Mage? Brando almost hit his forehead, calling himself a fool for not realizing sooner — eliminating the Dark Priest would yield numerous Dark Element Crystals. Indeed, in the past games, players referred to Black Fire Sect’s Dark Priests as ’paupers’ because, upon death, they often dropped only Dark Element Crystals. Brando, influenced by conventional thinking, forgot that he needed Dark Element Crystals at this moment.
Upon realizing this, the young man felt his thoughts clearing up. Eliminating the Dark Priest would temporarily repress the Divine Blood on Qian, adding another formidable force to his side.
So he immediately clapped his hands and responded, "No, let’s start with the Dark Priest."
Everyone was stunned, not understanding why the young Lord’s plan had changed so abruptly.
But Brando patted the dragon he sat on, directing the beast to turn its body. He then awkwardly smiled, "Sometimes plans encounter unforeseen changes. This is normal. Rest assured, it won’t affect anything. Let’s head back to the ambush site; I don’t intend to fight them here."
