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 Dusk Cross to kill him completely.
——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 he should run 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!
This special power Mr. Holland once told him.
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 magician in Farnes Continent is equal to or below.
——This is also the reason for Brand to dare to get close to the tauren and cause trouble!
After leaving the mine and taking Catherine for a short distance in the direction of Spruce 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 other party is not moving very fast, as if it 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 younger brothers in different clothes, exploring in the southeast direction along a straight line.
——That is the direction of Spruce Castle!
Seeing this scene, Brand rubbed his chin with one hand and guessed:
"The moment before I opened the concealment barrier, the tauren should have sensed the two of us.
Because the group of orcs didn't find us later, he must have suspected that the two humans had stolen his animal skin pocket.
Since they are humans, the direction of escape should naturally be the nearest Spruce Castle, so they searched all the way in the direction of Spruce Castle? ”
At the end, Brand’s tone was a little uncertain.
——After all, this kind of analysis has many loopholes!
But Catherine did. He nodded with approval, indicating that he 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:
"We'd better go back. This big orc is wandering around nearby, and we don't want to It’s so easy to run around.”
Katherine smiled and said, “I listen to the young master!”
Next, after adding the acceleration spell to himself, Brand maintained the concealment barrier along the way. Following the trajectory of the orcs, he led Catherine towards Spruce Castle.
Along the way, Brand thought that the tauren and his little brother would stop somewhere.
But what surprised him a little was that they had already passed the boundary line and the other party was not seen yet. ——If you go further, it will be covered by the empire's large war array.
If the opponent does not have that special concealment method, the intelligence map of the War Information Room will mark the opponent as soon as possible, and the garrison of Spruce Castle will also assemble as soon as possible. Move out.
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 Spruce Castle, a large red star was slowly moving in the direction of Spruce Castle.
Seeing this scene on the intelligence map, Brand couldn't help but admire the courage of this big orc.
Catherine next to her also saw the intelligence map. She was a little confused and said:
"Could there be something important to him in this animal skin bag?"
Bumping the heavy animal skin bag in his hand, Brand said leisurely:
"Who knows, it belongs to us now anyway!"
Because from the intelligence map, Spruce Castle has sent three imperial legions to intercept.
So, to avoid being affected by their battle, Brand and Catherine took a slight detour.
When the sun walked to the atrium, the two returned to the legion station of Spruce Castle.
After washing up and changing her clothes, Catherine went to prepare lunch, while Brand was preparing to count the harvest.
But at this time, Yersin and Finn came over.
Brand thought they were here to see the shield style.
After all, according to previous communications, Finn is planning to build a two-handed shield.
However, after a simple conversation, he found that it was not the case.
“Did Catherine find the 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 should be the "shield attack knight's secret skill" used by Catherine in the underground mine.
The knight's secret skills were obtained from bandits in the chaotic area more than half a year ago.
Although this category of knight secret skills is indeed relatively rare, its power can only be said to be very average.
Brand is also quite aware of 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 two-handed shield has also increased.
The increase is actually not very 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 Yersen care so much about that rare but mediocre knight secret skill?
It can’t be that Yersen is also planning to change his weapon to a two-handed shield, right?
