"The situation seems to be very bad!" Barrett, who turned over and dismounted, looked at the busy aborigines and touched his chin. Then he led the horse to the leader of the Bossi team and said, "I was delayed by the shaman outside for a while, but I finally got rid of that guy." ”

"Did you run away?" Team leader Bosi's eyes darkened, but then he nodded: "It's okay to run, it's okay to run!" It's a nuisance for someone like that to be captured by us or die on the battlefield. If you leave like this, you might ......."

Seeing that the team leader Bosie understood his thoughts, Barrett was also relieved. After all, this is already the case, and the next days will naturally need to help each other. So Barrett didn't want to be at odds with the caravan members anymore. Then he turned his head and asked, "Mr. Bossy, what about the damage this time?" ”

"Very bad! Almost a quarter of the adventurers died, and the rest were wounded. The casualties of the caravan's men were even worse. Speaking of this, the expression of the captain of the Bosie team can be said to be extremely difficult to see, "And there are also five caravans that have been burned through the fire, and it is not sure how much can be salvaged from them." ”

Don't look at the battle loss rate of about 25 percent, which is an extremely rare thing in modern times, but that is because of the large number of troops. Because every rout is often caused by someone taking the lead in escaping. As long as the first deserter appears, the next blind followers will basically not be able to stop. And the greater the number of troops in an army, the more difficult it is to control the quality of personnel, because the more likely it is to be in this situation.

If only a small elite force. On the contrary, it is more likely to be a situation of fighting to the death and not retreating. So it's no surprise that caravanserais, for example, would show such remarkable resilience. Of course, this is not enough. At the same time, it is necessary for them to see the hope of victory. On the other hand, it is also necessary to let them understand when facing horse thieves. It is difficult to leave the grassland alive if you choose to escape. The combination of the two was able to hold out until the horse thief chose to retreat because he could not bear his own damage.

Look at the corpse lying on the ground, and the wounded person leaning on the side of the carriage. Barrett frowned: "So with the current manpower, can the operation of the caravan still be maintained?" ”

Although the caravan in the game is not like the precision equipment in reality, it is possible to strike if a single component is damaged. However, after losing so many manpower at one time, it is inevitable to face the threat of suspension. Whether it can continue to operate smoothly depends on the caravan's training in the past and emergency means.

"It's a bit of a hassle here! However, if adventurers are more involved, it should be able to sustain it. Speaking of this, the captain of the Bosie team also looked embarrassed, "But this time the adventurers also suffered heavy losses. If so. The loose rangers outside had to be withdrawn. ”

"Revoke it, revoke it! While the rangers' warnings are important, they are meaningless if the caravans can't move forward. Barrett sighed helplessly at this, "Most of the skilled archers among the adventurers folded in the initial charge in order to buy time for the caravan. Even if the rest were to be equipped with horses, it was unknown how much of a use they would have if they had been released. So now it seems that whether or not there are rangers has little impact on the caravan. ”

Riders on patrol assault missions are not up to everyone. For those adventurers in 'civilized society', the skill of the bow horse alone can get rid of a large number of people. Not to mention that they need to have a lot of other relevant knowledge. Therefore, these members are often in a relatively high-income class among the adventurers hired this time.

However, in the risk-taking industry, high income is most often equated with high risk. And when he faced the attack of the horse thief before. The elite of these pauper adventurers are worthy of their responsibilities. So this battle came down. Few members are still alive.

Barrett's suggestion was really a bit difficult for Boss at this point. Although he also understood that Barrett was right, insisting on sending that kind of man would only make the operation of the caravan difficult. In that case, even if you are still able to move, your speed will definitely be much slower. You must know that today's caravans are at risk for one more day in the steppe. If you swallow it slowly like this, you will definitely be a lamb to the slaughter.

But if there is no echo before and after the ranger, his psychology is a little unsteady. What's more, without these eyeliners, the caravan would really be blind and deaf. If there is a little bit of trouble, it may become panicked. Thinking of this, the Boss really became a bit of a dilemma.

Seeing the other party's frowning and thoughtful look, Barrett immediately chose to leave without bothering much. After all, it was the power of the Bossi Territory and the other stewards of the caravan to decide which decision was made. If Barrett now imposed his will on them, he would only leave the seeds of resentment in the hearts of those people. This kind of behavior that creates a rift between the two parties is something he would never do at such a time.

After getting a general idea of the caravan, Barrett immediately went to meet with his teammates. When meeting with several players, Barrett found that although they were in a much better situation than the natives, they were not without injuries. The dwarven anvil had now shed his bulky full-body armor. His upper body was covered with bandages, and he was carrying a wine jug at this time. And the armor parts that were removed were also scarred, and it seemed that it was difficult for Xiu to work anymore.

Claymatis. Bot isn't in a good situation right now, and the guy's hanging left arm proves that he has lost some of his combat power. It seems that after the outbreak, Miss Pastor really suffered a lot when the horse thieves fought back! Although she had previously behaved so bravely, the enemy was seriously filled with hatred. Once discovered, the silver rod wax gun head cannot maintain combat power, and will naturally become the main target of the next attack.

Relatively speaking, Claudia. Auditore was in a better place, but he was still wearing bandages on his head. Together with the cat boy with a bandage on his leg, he became a member of the 'One Piece of White' group. And to say that the only one who is really unscathed is the mage Rielly, who is heavily protected by everyone.

Seeing Barrett's return, his companion was also looking at the captain who had rushed to the enemy camp first. The anvil, which still had blood stains on the bandage, asked with some bitterness, "Barrett, have you been shot in the knee?" ”

"There's no way around it! The number of enemies is simply too many. How can I stop them all with a spear? With that, Barrett reached out and pinched the small shaft that was still on the outside of his knee pad. Barrett, surrounded by horse thieves, was in a hurry. After cutting off the shaft of the arrow, he naturally left this hand tail.

"It's okay! It only shot through the armor, but it didn't hurt the knee inside. So I can't count this as an arrow in the knee. Barrett stretched his back at this point, "The real trouble is that flurry of shocks on the back, and those bumps on the arms. However, these are only bruises under the protection of muscle armor, and they are not fatal. Judging from the physique of the character, you will be fine after a few days of rest. ”

"The effect of the Adamantite Armor is really good!" With that, the anvil stood up, then reached out and touched Barrett's breastplate, which was still intact.

The halfling wanderer, who had several scratches on his face, pulled the dwarf's beard at this time: "If you want Adamantite armor, you have to work a lot harder on the anvil." Now you're the biggest debtor in the team. ”

"Isn't that what I'm talking about?" The dwarf, who knew what his friend meant, patted the hand that was pulling his beard at the noodles. "Anyway, I think as long as I follow Barrett, sooner or later I will be able to solve this problem. When the time comes, the Adamantite Full Body Armor is definitely not a dream. ”

"Then you'll have to wait a long time." Barrett patted the dwarf on the shoulder, "Unless you can provide clues to any treasure or give us a well-paid mission." ”

"A clue to the treasure? A well-paid task? As he spoke, Anvil turned and sat back on the wooden box he had before, "I'm not an invincible lucky star, and that kind of good thing won't hit me." ”

Barrett then turned his gaze to the man who looked to be the most seriously injured on the field: "Klimatis, how are you doing?" ”

"The state given by the system is that the forearm is broken, and today I have no spell. I'll be able to get all the problems done early tomorrow morning when I prepare a secondary recovery technique. "Speaking of which, Klematis. Bot, "I've basically treated the rest of my injuries with a magic wand. However, the wand that had just been charged for a short time had now been emptied. I don't know when I want to fill it up next time! ”

After knowing that there is nothing wrong with it. Barrett immediately laughed: "Looks like you've made a lot of money this time!" ”

"No matter how much I make money, I can't compare to Lily!" Speaking of which, Clematis. Bot glanced at the mage with some envy, "8 Battle Fireball Scrolls! That's about 3,200 gold! The team leader Bosi said that the reimbursement would be reimbursed. ”

"There's nothing to envy about that. Mage: That's your own experience for gold. At this point, Barrett glared at Klaimatis with his hands on his chest. Bot at a glance. "If you want, you yourself have the specialty to learn to transcribe scrolls! It's not that you can't sell with your channels. ”

"It's not that easy, an opportunity like Lily's this time is completely unavoidable." Immediately after Clematis. Bot also began to feel a little indignant, "And this series of fireballs smashed out, and the experience she consumed before was not just earned back a little bit." ”

"If you want to complain, just go and protest to the system god. The gain from my experience this time is several times the cost of copying scrolls! Immediately, Rielly also showed a cheap and obedient expression, "It's a pity that the level of those horse thieves is too low." Otherwise, I would never have earned so much this time. ”

"That's it! All right! If the average level of those horse thieves had been higher, I don't think we would have had a chance to stand here and talk anymore. Barrett, who clapped his hands, suddenly interrupted, "Then depending on your situation, the combat effectiveness should not have a big impact!" Then we should continue to stay in this state, because we still need to spend some time in the grassland. ”

"Barrett, are you saying there will be horse thieves next?" Claudia. Auditore became a little nervous.

Claudia. Auditore complained even more: "It's still here! Now what has become of the caravans. If there is a large number of horse thieves, will we be at the front? That doesn't work at all! ”

"Don't worry! If that were the case, I wouldn't have left you alone. At least I'll be with you. At the same time, Barrett touched his chin, "Besides, after those horse thieves return with a big move this time, the battle situation here will also spread." There are also horse thieves who have thoughts in this regard, and they also have to weigh whether they can pay such a big price. ”

"But hasn't the strength of the caravan also suffered a great blow from their raids? Isn't this the enemy's best chance. "Claudia. Auditore asked, somewhat puzzled.

Barrett smiled, "The caravan has indeed suffered a lot of losses. But we know this kind of thing as the victorious side, but those guys on the grassland may not know. The situation on the battlefield was so chaotic, and the attacking horse thieves were the losers, and they did not know the specific losses of our side. Therefore, the news that the escaped horse thieves can convey is not enough to dispel the concerns of the remaining colleagues who have not yet moved. After all, the other party doesn't know whether what those people say is true or false. ”

As mentioned earlier, there will be fights and annexations between different groups of horse thieves. This makes it difficult to build trust between them. Now that this huge group of horse thieves has been defeated, the news he has passed on will naturally put a big question mark among his peers?

Whether it's to weaken your competitors during your own weakness, or to scare your peers by falsely reporting battle losses. Even if the horse thieves who broke the news didn't have this idea, they couldn't stop the rest of the people from thinking about it! At times like these, the horse thieves are arguably the most cautious. Because they know that the wounded beasts are often the most ferocious in their counterattacks before they die.
