"Looks like last night's results should have been enough to annoy Lucia. "www.biquge.info In the breakfast room, I held the noodles in the hot soup basin and soaked the noodles cut into small pieces, as if I was going to eat them until they were soft.

When I woke up early in the morning, I heard news of a retreat from the territory. It's no wonder that players have all sorts of ideas in their heads. Although a few people have already raised such a possibility last night. But when the 'verdict' actually came down, everyone's mood still fluctuated a lot.

After swallowing the dry food in her mouth, Claudia took another sip of hot soup: "I don't think I'm just annoyed, I'm already annoyed. I don't know who they're going to send against us. ”

"We've fought those Lucians 2-3 times!" Rielly, who was stirring in the soup basin with a spoon, tugged at her facial muscles at this time: "Although they shouldn't have explored our old bottom yet, they should also have a general image." If you really want to find a master to deal with us, it is definitely not a weak and targeted enemy. Even if we can't be completely restrained by then, once there are ordinary Lucia soldiers around, maybe everyone will be able to leave safely! ”

"I can't guarantee others, but Lily, you guy can fly, and there is a chance to escape." Hearing this, Clematis immediately teased the mage. Immediately afterwards, the dry food was dipped in hot soup and then put into the mouth.

Rielly twitched the corners of her mouth, "What's the use of me running away?" You can't leave Lulu alone! ”

"Anyway, it's not really going to die in the game. If this happens, Rielly, you can at least save a resurrection stone if you escape! Barrett, who had been talking to his companions, put down the spoon in his hand at this time.

After hearing Barrett's remarks, Rielly was stunned for a moment, and then was silent for a while before continuing to speak: "Although in terms of cost performance, Barrett's proposal does have some truth. But as a woman, I'm an emotional creature, so I'm not going to give up on Lulu in that situation. ”

After saying this, Rielly hugged the cat boy who was drinking soup and gently rubbed its cat ears with her cheek. Immediately after that, the claws of Clematis and Claudia were handed to Rielly's waist. Then, under the scratching of the two ladies, Rielly was forced to laugh straight when she left. The show of affection for the dog also stopped.

"Ahem! You three don't make a fuss about it, we're talking about serious things now! Barrett, who coughed lightly twice, left to remind the ladies to pay attention to their image.

Clematis and Claudia withdrew their palms, and Rielly let go of Lalu and straightened her crumpled robes. After seeing the reactions of the three in front of him, Barrett nodded with satisfaction: "Although it is a foregone conclusion that we will leave this area, it has not yet been decided how to go. ”

"Then the Boreham Territory didn't have any advice on the retreat?" Clematis, who raised his eyebrows, was obviously a little unconvinced. In her opinion, with the past performance of the Boreham family, it is impossible not to just give players a viable opportunity to coach.

"It seems like no." Barrett turned his gaze to the anvil as he said this, "You shouldn't have missed anything!" ”

"Nope! I feel like absolutely not. Hearing this, the dwarf shook his head twice in a row, then raised his palm as if he was voathing, and said, "And there are only a few digital messages that that communication gem transmits each time." If there really is any retreat plan, it shouldn't be possible to send it all at once! ”

"That's just as well." Rielly reluctantly accepted this reply, but then she threw a new question to Barrett: "Since there is no guidance from the territory side, Barrett, you should have a plan in mind!" It's not going to make us run around like that. ”

"There are indeed two retreat options." As he spoke, Barrett tapped his finger on his head. But then he suddenly changed his voice: "However, the direction has not sent a specific evacuation plan before, which does not mean that there will be no guidance in the future." Who knows if we'll be reconciled with another team that came to train. Therefore, just in case, although we retreated immediately, we could not retreat too far from the border. It is not possible to return to China directly without further orders. ”

"Wait, if we retreat directly, won't we enter the Timing Control Zone of the Cruze Local Faction?" Noodle put down his breakfast as he spoke, and then took out a map from his pocket: "Although before we came, we knew that in this operation, Norhan had a certain tacit understanding with those Cruze nobles. But if we do not wait at the border, but go directly into the zone of actual control of them, will it cause some unnecessary misunderstandings? ”

The halfling wanderer in front of him pays more attention than the others, and naturally has more opinions of his own - in fact, many leaders of the wandering profession are involved in covert political operations, and their livelihoods are largely influenced by the political situation and those who are in charge.

So I put more time and effort into this area than most other professionals. While everyone says that the bard is the best spy and diplomat, in reality the wanderer can be said to be on par with him, except that the latter is not often seen under the sun.

"You do have a point. But I don't think that's a problem. As long as we don't make any dangerous moves after entering, I don't think there should be any big problem. Barrett laughed as he spoke, "Those nobles should know what to do for their own good, if they are smart enough. Rather than worrying about that, let's worry about what we will do if we encounter the 'dragon' in that area! ”

Indeed, the Khan and the Cruze locals could not have been close allies before. In a sense, both sides are conspirators with their own ghosts, waiting to stab each other in the back at any time. However, under the current situation, the two sides are still in a situation where cooperation is mutually beneficial.

The Cruze locals needed the power of Norhan to help them resist the Lucian invasion - although they had taken the initiative in the civil war, they were still a short way from completely overpowering the royal family and their allies. Under these circumstances, it was simply impossible to raise troops against the invasion of the Lucians.

What's more, even if the royal family is settled, this civil war will also consume a large number of instances on the Cruze side. At the same time, the resulting chaos has seriously affected its war potential. If it weren't for that, the Kingdom of Lucia wouldn't have braved the snow to launch an attack in the middle of winter.

And you want to make the two forces in the current Cruze Kingdom stop the civil war and unite with the outside world? The local powerhouses who don't want land and Lucia's direct border are definitely willing to raise their hands in favor. But the Cruze royal family would never be willing to cooperate with the local nobles in a weak posture at such a time.

Eighty percent of them would see this as the key to turning the tide in the country - and as for whether they would be able to unite and drive the Lucians away after the local nobility was eventually weakened? The Lucian royal family, which has reached the point of exhaustion, even if they understand the key to this, will not want to think about it because of their own interests.

And although the Norhan side is also spying on the land and wealth of the Cruze Kingdom, they also need to stop the Lucian from moving. Otherwise, if this dish was eaten by the greedy white bear, there would really be only some soup and water left on the side of Norhan.

Therefore, in terms of stopping the invasion of the Kingdom of Lucia, the local forces of Cruze and the Kingdom of Norhan have the same goal. The cooperation between the two sides will maintain a friendly attitude until it really tears the skin, at least on the surface.

Of course, from Barrett's point of view, in fact, some local nobles on the Cruze side actually don't mind changing themselves to a feudal lord. After all, the previous Cruze royal family did too badly, and once the monarchy system was dismantled under the conditions of the feudal system, they did have the right to decide their own fate.

As for whether the new feudal lord is a side branch of the original royal family, the current leader of the local nobility or a foreign king is not much different - if it were not for the poor reputation of the Lucians in this regard, and the feud between the two, perhaps they would have been an alternative target!

Therefore, even after entering the actual control area of the Cruze Locals, most of the players will not be subjected to any obvious difficulties. On the contrary, the 'After the Dragon' church that has been severely offended before is a big trouble. You must know that although with the successive victories of the Cruze locals on the frontal battlefield, it is not only the royal family that has lost ground one after another. Even the 'After the Dragon' Church, which had occupied some towns, suffered a great loss.

As a result, many members of the 'Queen of the Dragon' church that had been openly organized returned to the shadows and underground. However, according to the information received so far, the most important strongholds of the 'Queen of the Dragon' Church are still in their hands - the Cruze local faction has temporarily slowed down its offensive in those places because the losses of the assault are too great, and there are other enemies at the same time. While one and a half planes imply abundant benefits, the main plane's interests are greater and more important.

Of course, from the perspective of the Cruze localists, this is a good thing, except for those areas that are really difficult to control, the rest can be slowly suppressed as long as the other party does not directly seize power. However, for the player, these enemies hidden in the shadows can be far more dangerous than when they are in the open. Few people are always on the lookout for a blade from behind.

"Those guys are a real headache!" Thinking back to his previous escape trip in the Cruze Kingdom, Noodles frowned and acted a little embarrassed. In his opinion, if it weren't for himself, his companions would not have been involved in such trouble.

Clematis touched his cheek: "Then we will live in the temple of our lord!" As long as it's not too aggressive, I don't think the 'After the Dragon' church will find much of a chance. I don't believe they came to attack the temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce'. ”

"That's a solution!" Speaking of this, Barrett grabbed the map in his hand, "It takes about 3-4 days to get to our nearest town now. In the remaining small villages, I fear that I will not be able to find the temple of His Highness at all. After all, even in the border areas, not every village can have frequent trade. ”

"So hurry up and hit the road now, and wait for further news from the territory by the way?" Rieli asked, staring at Barrett. The latter nodded: "Go as soon as possible!" If Lucia finds us a knight to be our opponent, we will definitely be unlucky now. Judging by the devastation we caused that night, we could afford it. ”

Players who had watched the two knights fight each other during their previous time in the Northland city-states were still apprehensive about their amazing combat prowess. They knew that if they really encountered such an opponent, as long as the opponent's mount was suitable, they might even have a problem escaping. Coupled with the cooperation of ordinary soldiers, there is no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground.

Afterwards, the players who put away the strange things set off on their horses blessed with the 'Snow Boots' and headed for their destinations. Although Lucia really sent knights to deal with it, the 2-3 day journey would not give players much security. But the towns of the Cruze kingdom were able to do it - in the face of the raiding Imperial knights, the local ones had to intervene for whatever reason. To put it bluntly, the players are ready to let the Cruzes protect themselves from disasters.

But just when this escape was only halfway through, the communication gem in Barrett's hand came out again. Barrett, who looked at the long sentence, frowned, and finally turned the horse's head: "Let's go south!" ”

"Barrett, are you really going to make peace with those people?" Rielly was obviously reluctant, "But then the goal is bigger than we are now." Don't you think this could be a target for the Luciaes? ”

"With such an obvious target, do you think there will be such a serious mistake in the territory?" Barrett said without looking back.

Hearing this, Clematis left to understand something: "That is, if we have made peace in the past, it will be a bait to attract the Lucians to join the army?" (To be continued.) )
