It was clear that none of the three knights present wanted to put too much effort into that kind of thing. Obviously, he thinks that no matter how much he participates, it will be difficult to have too much impact on the outcome of that incident. Ignoring the trouble of not being able to interfere with itself, the Boreham Ranger Regiment went into a state of recuperation.

If for the players who participate in the game, this period of fighting and running is only a little tiring. For the ordinary aboriginal cranks in the setting, their mental and physical limits are almost at their limit.

If you can't relax and adjust enough in time, it is very likely that there will be a large area of mental illness - not only will it affect your combat effectiveness, but there may even be an accident where the team will get out of control.

Through the caravan that had been contacted in advance, the Boreham Rangers sold all the loot they had captured for a period of time. Although the price of all kinds of goods brought by caravans doubled during wartime, the price of weapons and equipment among those trophies increased no less.

If it is an ordinary adventure team or mercenary group, it is very likely that those heavily disguised caravans will take advantage of the opportunity to lower the price at such times. Although the profits of wartime trade are high, the risks are not affordable for everyone. The small number of armed caravans that cost so much gave them the initiative - if you didn't sell, you wouldn't find any other buyers.

However, the Boreham Ranger Regiment has a strong enough backer behind it, as long as those chambers of commerce want to trade with Boreham or borrow the road, they have to consider the consequences of being too black - it is really cool when the price is lowered, but if they are targeted in the future, the chambers of commerce behind them will definitely cry to death.

It was with the strong backing of the retaliatory ability that the Boreham Rangers exchanged all kinds of fresh food and drinks from the Chamber of Commerce at a relatively fair price. This, in conjunction with several halfling 'chefs' in the team, provided the cavalry during the recuperation period with a sumptuous chef - even more heart-warming when warming their stomachs.

Of course, it was not enough to rely on food, and several knights also distributed the captured precious metals to the able-bodied men in the ranks. Let these Rangers, who have been holding back for a few days, go to Britton City to have some fun on their own. Although the price in that area will inevitably rise, this demand does not need to be met because it is expensive.

A few days later, the restless and restless Boleum soldiers were calm one by one. Knight Bapti, who saw all this, nodded with considerable satisfaction: "It's almost time to go again." Now it's up to the territory to give you a specific task. ”

Unlike the Cruze Kingdom, which wanted to defend Britton City, the Norhans from Boreham had no intention of doing so. Although losses in the war were inevitable, Boreham had no intention of sacrificing manpower for the Cruze in vain.

Before the Norhan Kingdom fully intervened on the battlefield of Cruze, the task of the Boleam Rangers was to take advantage of the speed of the cavalry: to harass the Lucian backline, clear the Lucian scouts, and plunder the Lucian convoys. At most, there was a collision with Barrett's army, which was not dominant, as he had done before to rescue the fugitives from Camprin.

"Does that mean we're leaving tomorrow?" As he spoke, Barrett moved his neck, "After so many days here, my bones are about to rust." It's time to find a place to get active. ”

"Although Lucia doesn't seem to be doing anything to Britton City right now, who knows when they will suddenly surround this place!" Knight Bapti narrowed his eyes as he said this, "I don't want these boys under my command to change from cavalry to infantry. ”

Before trench warfare, defending a city was often the most brutal. And once the Rangers who lost their mobility turned into infantry, their combat effectiveness was almost cut in half. Knight Bapti didn't want his elite to be consumed in that kind of flesh mill.

What's more, judging from the current progress of Britton City's construction, it is likely that it will not be able to complete the upgrade before the arrival of the army of the Kingdom of Lucia. In that case, the odds of winning will be lower, as long as there is autonomy and smart people will make the right choice.

"Okay! I'll go back and take care of my part of the work. It won't affect tomorrow's trip. Barrett, who understood Knight Bapty's concerns, nodded.

Then he turned his gaze to the Knight Ovaltine, who was walking around the tent: "Can you stop going around in circles in front of my eyes, this makes people dizzy." ”

Knight Ovaltine, who had just stopped, turned his head and frowned, "I don't know how! I always feel like there's something wrong with my emotions today. There always seems to be a feeling of fidgeting! ”

"Hearing you say that, I feel a little chill down my spine! I thought it was a delusion, but now it seems to be a sign that something is about to happen. As he said this, Barrett subconsciously probed his back with his hand to make sure that nothing was wet there.

Knight Faulkner didn't forget to add at this time: "It turns out that I am not the only one who thinks there is a problem!" After nightfall today, I felt my thigh muscles tremble involuntarily. I'm afraid something is really going to happen. ”

"That's why I decided to leave early tomorrow morning. It's only been one night, and those Lucia can't suddenly cross a distance of nearly 100 miles to occupy this place! Knight Bapti touched his chin, "I went to scout during the day, and those damn Lucians are still 100 miles away. ”

"Alright! I'll go back and prepare now. Barrett, knowing that the situation was not quite right, immediately got up, "But I don't think there's anything wrong with me there." ”

"Your companions are a group of people who don't get into trouble." Knight Bapti nodded, "It wasn't a bad decision to involve them in the first place.

Affirmed, Barrett lifted the curtain and left the tent in the camp. Immediately, the full moon like a silver plate appeared in Barrett's eyes. The moonlight poured like milk over the whole city of Brierton, and everything in the city was gray in the moonlight. The colorful flags that fluttered in the sun on the head of the city also drooped on the flagpole in this windless night.

Barrett, who looked closer, seemed to be able to see the soldiers standing guard yawning from time to time, and these Cruze soldiers didn't seem to be in good spirits. Obviously, perennial slackness is not something that can be changed by intensive training in a short period of time.

At this moment, Barrett suddenly felt that something was not quite right in the black silk night sky: "This night sky is too flat. It's like a mirror that has been darkened. Are we already shrouded in a vast array of illusions? But if it's an illusion, there's no reason I can't see the problem......"

Before Barrett could speak, the night sky cracked like broken glass as if something had broken it. The crack spread out at a rapid pace, filling the night sky in the blink of an eye.

The strange cracks that couldn't be seen pierced through the void. When they finally came to a halt not far from the wall, the space at that point could no longer withstand the forces beyond the critical point.

So it slowly collapsed, turning into a breach to the other world. Everything in the vicinity, whether it was earth, rock, vegetation, or living creatures, was drawn to it—the cries for help from the lost guards bonded around the breach to form a transdimensional portal.

Then, from the portal, a stench comparable to that of a Norwegian herring surged out along with an icy breath. They immediately caused the guards who were still able to stand at the top of the city to bend down one by one, covering their noses. In the most serious case, he pressed his chest and vomited. Then, from the massive portal, a huge black shadow slammed into the city walls.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the stone building bucket that was originally halfway built had turned into scattered rubble and scattered in all directions. The stirred dust was accompanied by the rising air waves, like billowing black smoke, which instantly enveloped the entire city wall. Seeing this scene, Barrett immediately contracted his pupils, and in the midst of the air wave composed of dust, a group of soldiers from the Cruze Kingdom began to move in free fall.

And Barrett's eyes can also confirm that those fallen Britton City were already injured before they left the billowing black smoke. Some of them had been cut with bleeding wounds, some were twisted and deformed as if they had been stoned to death, and some were simply pieces of flesh that had been cut up or mashed - they had lost their lives before they hit the ground.

"Damn! What exactly is that thing? Seeing this, Barrett touched his ring, and then changed from his original civilian clothes to fully armed. And such a loud voice in the city naturally woke everyone in Britton City.

Almost at the same time, the curtain of Barrett's tent was lifted, and the Three Men Knight immediately appeared in front of Barrett's eyes. The knight of Bapti, who was the temporary leader of the team, looked at the city wall with stones shooting and asked, "It can't be that the Lucians are haunted!" ”

At this moment, only a loud noise was heard. The wall, which had been fortified, collapsed.

———————— make up tomorrow——————

The next morning, at Georgie's invitation, the two followed him into a carriage that had been prepared in advance.

Steward Nidel asked bluntly, "Where are you taking us, my lord?" ”

It's not that he can't hide his doubts, but because he thinks there is no need for Georgie to hide his purpose at such times.

"There are few people who are as familiar with war as we are in the Principality of Norhan." Georgie replied as if he had not been asked.

"We believe that. The warriors of the Knights have long resisted the invasion of the northern barbarians. There is no one better at war than you. Mr. Hancox nodded.

After introducing the topic into the scope of his own expertise, Qiao Ji struck while the iron was hot and said, "The biggest weakness of your Three-City Alliance compared to other city-states in the Northlands is probably the lack of population!" ”

"Yes! Although the population has grown very rapidly in recent years, we are absolutely disadvantaged compared to the whole Northland. Mr. Hancox nodded.

Georgie went on to analyze: "Relatively speaking, your greatest advantage is that your hearts are united, unlike other cities with their own plans. So if there is a war, the longer it drags on, the better it will be for you. ”

This time it was Steward Nidel's turn and nodded, "That's right! Many scholars in our city think so. ”

"Then defending in the early stages of the war is the best option for you! And what I'm going to show you now is the good stuff for defense. Georgie said confidently.

A loud "bang-" was accompanied by a loud "buzz! Airplanes! Airplanes! The crossbow arm shook. The round stone projectile flew out quickly, piercing two nearly one-inch-thick pine planks 500 yards away, and then sinking deep into the pile of sand behind. This was followed by the test of the giant crossbow, this time directly penetrating the protection of the metal cuirass.

"This is a ballista? No, this seems to be very different from a normal ballista. Mr. Hancocks seemed to have a good knowledge of the siege engines, and he immediately raised his own questions.

The ballista is the most classic mechanical cold weapon, and it fires a variety of weapons, including arrows, javelins, stone shells, incendiary bombs, and more. In the field, the ballista also fires a kind of heavy giant arrow, the arrow is made of iron, the shape is crescent or anchor, this kind of giant arrow shoots out to the enemy line, can split a gap in the enemy team, and the killing effect is very terrifying.

In the history before the crossing, the ballista had a nickname - shield penetrator. It fires great arrows that can easily pierce through any known shield or armor. Even in the Middle Ages, because at that time the Romans were very strict about the quality of military equipment. A qualified ballista requires a range of 500 meters, and within 200 meters, it can penetrate a homogeneous plank about two inches thick. In this world, because of the advantages of materials, it is often possible to do better.

However, despite the name Ballista, it is not a magnified crossbow for the most part. It uses the torsional force of two tense bundles of horsehair, leather, or animal tendons as a power to fire projectiles in an instant. The crossbow held by the general infantry is tensioned, and the arrow is pushed by the potential energy generated by the elastic compression of the bow arm, and the bowstring cannot be stretched.
