After the initial passive beating, the huge but unresponsive giant of the Lucia Kingdom finally made a reasonable response. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At this point, more and more troops and civilians flocked to the forts along the border. With the arrival of these living forces, the harassers sent by Nohan began to have a hard time.

The integrated air-ground reconnaissance of the dragnet has made it increasingly difficult for those harassers to lurk - they are not locals who have come from afar. Even with this period of familiarity, I still haven't been able to fully grasp the surrounding environment. Trying to play hide-and-seek with those Lucians here is nothing less than a dream.

And once the stealth is lost, these attackers turn from darkness to light one by one, and the offensive and defensive momentum immediately changes. Because most of these attackers are newcomers who have come to exercise, they do not have the absolute strength to ignore the disparity in numbers. Even if they can break out of the encirclement, as long as they are still within the pursuit range of the Lucians, there will be no peace.

The long hours of combat and fatigue were enough to overwhelm the warrior's body and will, and the caster lost his strength early on because he didn't get enough long rest. In the end, he fled into the hinterland of the Cruze Kingdom in a hurry.

However, the Lucia Kingdom made such a big military move, and it was impossible to hide the real people who had a heart. In the case of the Boreham family, the news was received before the opposing army was on the road. So he chose to leave this battlefield where it was difficult for him to do anything in the future.

This time, the Khan Kingdom came to trouble the Lucians and train their troops, and it was not only the Bolim family that came to make trouble. Although they had more or less learned of the news of Lucia's military mobilization in advance, those lurkers who were on combat missions on the border line might not choose to retreat as soon as Barrett and others did.

Although there is no such thing as 'the general will not be subject to the orders of the king outside', the front-line combatants often have a certain degree of autonomy. In addition, eighty percent of the people who came to carry out the mission this time were the younger generation in the family. Judging from the performance of those around Lilinda Boreham, everyone should understand what kind of mentality the other party has.

If the attackers had been frustrated, or had a back-and-forth fight with the Lucians, most likely they would have chosen to retreat in time. But those young people who have won the battle and had a smooth journey are not so easy to choose to retreat because of a dangerous warning. Many of them have suffered a lot because of this.

And the players who chose to leave the camp at the first time had already penetrated into the local aristocratic domination area within the Cruze Kingdom at this time. Even if the Lucians had unrivaled tracking skills, their hands couldn't reach here. In the spirit of 'a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall', Barrett once again led his companions to escape.

The next snow trip is needless to say. Although walking on ankle-length snow is a very difficult thing for ordinary people. However, for players with the 'Boots of the Crowd', they can move faster than normal on their own.

The potential threat of getting lost in the snow (like the player's last Oolong incident) has been removed due to the presence of the Aboriginal Druids. So much so that they left the land of the Cruze Kingdom in less time than they came, and returned to the territory of Nohan.

Although there is no potential threat to the rest of the journey, both the player and the original team that is operating together are rushing back to Boreham Territory - everyone is eager to receive their rewards from their families for this operation and know the next plan of action in advance.

In normal times, the family still focuses on stocking these branches. Tasks tend not to be assigned too often, and it is rare to complete one task immediately after the second task is assigned. But now that the war is approaching, it is time for them, who have enjoyed the shade of the trees for a long time, to repay it.

Of course, for most people, this kind of thing is not averse. After all, the Boreham family's assessment of the rewards for those tasks has always been very recognized. Although there must be a certain amount of risk in order to complete these tasks, once the risk is equal to the reward, it is already a good task to break the head in the eyes of outsiders.

After returning to the territory and settling in, Barrett and Lilinda Bolum went to report together - not because they had a good relationship, but because the second phase of the mission was done by both teams. Therefore, we must be together to reassure everyone when we report on work.

Riding in a hired business carriage, Barrett glanced at the half-elf girl sitting opposite. At this time, she rarely showed her quiet side, and her beautiful face actually looked a little charming under the slightly dim light.

This is a huge contrast with the previous cognition, and it almost crashed Barrett's head at once. In order to alleviate his embarrassment, he asked softly, "Lilinda, when will the contract ceremony for the mage begin?" ”

"Are you in a hurry?" Ms. Lilinda Borem glanced at Barrett, then raised her left eyebrow: "If it's really that urgent, the ceremony should be able to be held the day after tomorrow." After all, all the materials you need are here, and it doesn't take too much time to set them up. ”

"No, no, no, I was just worried that it would take too much time for you to acquire materials. Since that's the case, we don't need to be in such a hurry. Barrett scratched his head slightly in embarrassment.

And Lilinda Boreham chuckled: "That's what I'm worried about!" ”

"It's natural! We don't know if the next mission will start right away. Wouldn't it be miserable if we didn't be able to complete the ritual then? Barrett said this, and spread his hands.

"In fact, the materials required for that ritual are not uncommon in the natural system." Hearing this, Ms. Lilinda Boreham did not hide it, "It's just that those kinds of consumables are rarely used in battle, so we didn't take them with us when we went out." ”

"Looks like Rie Elli is in good luck." Barrett nodded in pretended satisfaction.

After noticing Barrett's silence, Ms. Lilinda Boram became interested: "So what are you going to do next?" I'm not talking about the family mission, but your next path. ”

"My next path?" Barrett was stunned for a moment, then understood what Lilinda Boreham was referring to: "Are you saying that I chose to step into the black lead rank?" ”

"That's right!" Ms. Lilinda Boreham lowered her neck slightly and nodded: "Judging from your previous performance, you should already be at the peak of hematite, and you may enter the black lead rank at any time!" ”

"It feels like that, but I always feel like there's something missing. On the contrary, Lilinda, the combat power you showed is not at all like the red iron rank. Naturally, Barrett couldn't talk to Aboriginal people about the experience bar. So I had to rely on the memory of the test period to make it up.

"Are you jealous?" Ms. Lilinda Boreham suddenly craned her neck and winked curiously at Barrett. In the face of this sudden attack, Barrett almost instinctively leaned back to dodge.

Fortunately, the perennial experience of qi cultivation allowed Barrett to control himself in time, so he didn't make a fool of himself: "The giant wolf you summoned that day, even if I deal with one, I may not be able to solve it in a short time." If there are two, I will lose more than I win and win less. ”

"Huh! So, you released the water that day? Ms. Lilinda Boreham, who heard this, compared Barrett's performance at the beginning, and immediately asked with some suspicion.

Barrett nodded sloppily: "You are the protagonist there!" How can we, the guests, steal the limelight from the host's house. ”

"What if we don't do well at that time?" Ms. Lilinda Boreham looked at Barrett with a smirk.

Barrett, who was stared at a little hairy, shrugged his shoulders: "In that case, of course, the mission comes first." However, the combination of the Green Bound Summoner and the Emerald Fury is indeed ridiculously strong at this stage! We are simply not given such a chance. ”

"Really! Didn't you just talk about your problem? How did it suddenly turn to me? Ms. Lilinda Boreham glared at Barrett with some dismay. It seems that if it weren't for the carriage, this female man would really have done it.

And the reason why she was reluctant to do anything in the carriage, Barrett could roughly guess - it was not for fear of damaging the vehicle, this half-elf lady was not short of that little money. But once you fight in the car, it will inevitably cause the carriage to shake and make a 'squeak' sound.

In the eyes of people who don't know what to do but love to think cranky, who knows what kind of rumors will turn into. Although Lilinda Boreham is a standard woman, she is very smug a lot of the time. But she is a woman after all, and she is still very keen on this kind of thing.

"Alright! Am I wrong? Continuing with our previous topic, if there's anything you want to know, just ask! Barrett, who knew that he might have something to help with next, immediately chose to relent. At the same time, I silently recited in my heart: 'The big husband can bend and stretch, and I don't care about women......

"That's what you told me to ask!" Ms. Lilinda Boreham squinted her eyes and looked like a fox. But at this moment, the business carriage suddenly stopped. At the same time, the driver in front also shouted: "The destination has arrived, please get off the bus." ”

Barrett, who escaped, pushed the car door open, and then stood outside the door and gentlemanly handed a hand to Ms. Lilinda Boreham: "It's better to get down to business, and we'll continue to talk when we have a chance." ”

It seems that because it was known in advance that the two captains were going to return to report on their duties, the communication work of the town hall was very smooth. Barely blowing much cold wind outside the door, the two arrived in the office of the Earl of Boreham.

The old god was still sitting comfortably behind the desk, and looked at the two outstanding young men in the family in front of him and nodded with satisfaction: "Good job!" Your overall performance this time really didn't disgrace us Boreham. However, in terms of specific details, some additions are needed. So the process that should be carried out has to be completed. ”

"Trouble is dead!" "I understand."

Lilinda Borem and Barrett then showed two very different attitudes towards this.

Baron Borem glanced at the half-elf girl in front of him helplessly, and then turned his gaze to the player: "Barrett, you are responsible for telling, if there is any problem, Lilinda, you will speak and add." ”

"Here's how the battle went......" Barrett, who had been arranged, immediately began to describe. As in previous reports, he is experienced in this area, and does not add his own subjective guesses to the content, but only states the truth of what he has seen and heard.

Although Ms. Lilinda Boreham does not talk much, when she finds something different from her memory, she will open her mouth to refute or fill in the gaps. Soon, everything that happened on the battlefield was perfected with the efforts of the two of them.

In the end, Barrett still cautiously concluded: "Of course, this is only the part of what we have noticed, and there may be some discrepancies from reality. Perhaps, Lord Earl, you need to understand the situation from other angles. ”

"I'll arrange that kind of thing. You've done a good job. After this task, rest for two days. Even more challenges await you! Baron Boreham touched his chin, smiled and nodded.

Immediately after that, Barrett received a system prompt: "The 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' mercenary group accepts the historical mission 'Sword and Fire' precursor mission 'Snow Jungle Lurking' completed...... Task Reward Settlement...... Quest ...... series Accumulation is optional...... Follow-up quest to start ......"

Of course, it's the choice of accumulation! However, the follow-up mission looks like it can be obtained immediately. Barrett was very happy with the return of the mission.

And at this moment, the Earl of Boreham spoke again: "Lilinda, if you don't have anything to report, you can go back first." But Barrett has to stay, I have something to tell you. ”

"Thank you, Lord Earl." After saying this, Ms. Lilinda Boreham immediately saluted. Then, when she turned to pass by Barrett, she also glanced at Barrett with a gloating expression. This made Barrett feel that his eyes seemed to be full of the words 'self-begging for more blessings'.

"Barrett, it seems like it's only been a little over a year since the last time I chose a career path!" Earl Boreham, who said this, got up and poured himself a cup of hot tea: "I didn't expect to enter the next stage so soon." Sure enough, gemstones need to be polished to become dazzling. ”

"Lord Earl, are you saying that I can now take the advanced assessment?" Barrett asked, pretending to be excited. (To be continued.) )
