"But now that we've lost this time, I think they're going to be able to face up to our capabilities." Never taking his eyes off the charred noodles before, he finally turned his attention back: "In other words, the next time I will encounter the enemy, there will never be such a ridiculous act this time." ”

"Yes! I never thought that a commander would be ridiculous like that. The premise of training by combat is that the original training has reached a certain level. But I really don't know how to describe them. Speaking of this, Barrett recalled how he had behaved when he first heard the information, and then subconsciously turned his head to look at Clematis. Obviously, he was worried that his embarrassing expression of crying and laughing at that time would be used to make fun of himself in the future.

However, as if he didn't notice Barrett's gaze, Clematis stood up directly and said: "What kind of enemy we will encounter next time is not something we can decide. Instead of worrying about this, let's see what kind of loot we can get this time. ”

"Speaking of trophies, did you already loot all the personal belongings of those cavalrymen when you were just being treated?" Barrett, who heard this, immediately changed to a smile instead of a smile.

Clematis didn't care about Barrett's ridicule, but said as a matter of course: "This is our trophy in the first place, plus I am the one who manages the team's money bag, is there any problem with collecting it at that time?" ”

"It's good if you're happy!" Speaking of this, Barrett touched his chin, "But this time the big fish was not caught, I'm afraid there won't be enchanted weapons among our trophies." But since they are members of the Viper Cavalry Regiment, eighty percent of the products they use are also fine! In addition to taking up too much space and weight, the actual value should be higher than the last time. Not to mention the harvest on the war horse. ”

Although the loot this time has not yet been counted, Barrett already has the most basic judgment in his heart. Because Barrett, who knew the military systems of several nearby countries, was very clear about the equipment and composition of the standing army such as the Viper Cavalry Regiment. Although the Cruze Kingdom did not have the financial resources to equip all of them with enchanted equipment, it was still possible to take out refined weapons and armor.

Hearing this, Rielly suddenly turned her eyes to the war horses that were still cruising nearby: "But if there are so many horses, I'm afraid we can't afford to raise them!" ”

"Don't worry! Anyway, it's not far from the border now, so if you want to lose weight during this time, you can lose some fat! Barrett, who pondered for a while, immediately expressed his full plan: "When we get to the next settlement, we will buy a trailer and load it with enough horse food to feed them." By the time the time you make a move, you'll probably be able to recover. ”

"In that case, why don't you hurry up and get them back. Do we want those of us who have no experience to do it? "Having received the solution, Clematis immediately felt that those horses were bags of moving gold coins. The thought of their actual value made the pastor of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce Church swallow.

Here, Barrett took the hemp rope to lasso, and the remaining players, led by Clematis, began to collect the last bit of their surplus value from the attackers, who were mostly immobilized. By the time Barrett had completed his mission and returned with a string of horses. Suddenly, Klaimatis threw a one-shouldered calfskin bag at him: "Look what this thing is?" ”

Barrett, who took the leather bag with one hand, flipped it open and looked: "Potion bag? ”

Barrett, who felt that something was wrong, immediately reached out and gently scratched the internal test of the potion pack, and then blew the rubbing fingers: "It seems that it has not been used for a while." Sure enough, it's the all-powerful 'Great Drifting Technique'. So it seems that my fears are real, and the Viper Cavalry Regiment is already rotting from the roots. ”

This pod, branded with the Viper's mark, was apparently the standard for the Viper Cavalry Regiment. Judging by the slots inside, the normal standard is that it should be filled with 6 tubes of potions (regardless of function). But now it's empty, and it's all dust. It must be, as Barrett just said, that none of these munitions have gone into anyone's pocket.

You know, this is wartime! If it had been in peacetime, the situation of the Viper Cavalry Regiment would have been even worse. There is a way to raise soldiers for a thousand days for a while, and the generation of a strong army is by no means a day's work. Usually relax training and provisions, and when it comes to a critical moment, you want to strengthen it immediately, but it's just a dream.

"When Noodles first found this thing, we were all shocked. If any of those wounded had drunk the medicine in advance and hid inside, something might have happened to us. Speaking of this, Clematis glanced at Rielly. Because among the players of the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower', this mage is the most powerless in the face of sneak attacks.

Barrett, who threw the potion bag back in his hand, shook his head and said, "Since nothing happened, let's not delve into this kind of problem." It's the big guys, not us little mercenaries, who should have the headache. I've found 4 complete horses here, and 3 more that can be recovered if healed by spells. What's going on there? ”

"13 refined weapons! It was mainly scimitars, broadswords, and maces, but the spears they used were all ordinary goods. There were supposed to be two compound longbows, but unfortunately they were both broken in the battle just now. I'm afraid this kind of weapon repair technique is beyond my strength, and if you can use a complete repair technique, I don't know if it's worth it. Half of the remaining 13 pieces of chain mail needed to be repaired. There is also one piece that is so badly damaged that it takes a lot of effort to fix it. And then there's the badges of those guys, but unfortunately they weren't able to keep their flags at the time. As the big steward of the team, Clematis shared his gains one by one: "As for the rest, it's all worthless things." ”

"You still want to leave their flags behind?" Barrett was obviously stunned when he heard this, and the first thing he wanted to do now was to pry open Clematis's head with the 'Broken Peak' to see if there was something wrong inside.

But Kleimatis said as a matter of course: "Remember the last time we sold that captain's equipment and badges, for what price? Even if the flag is not as good as it this time, it should be worth a few hundred gold coins! ”

"It's not worth it depending on the demand. However, if we do capture the other party's military flag, then the rest of the days will not be safe. Barrett glared at Clematis, who seemed to him to be a mere mess.

Although the capture of the battle flag in the Western Continent will not have serious consequences such as the revocation of the number, it is also a great shame for the army to which the battle flag belongs. As long as there are conditions, the other side will not mind using all means to recover the battle flag. If the current battle between the 'Bloodstained Grey Flower' and the Viper Cavalry Regiment was only on orders from above. Once the players capture the battle flag, it will inevitably stimulate the subjective initiative of the opposing commander. The retreat will be even more difficult.

Rielly, who understood the meaning of Barrett's words, immediately reached out and pulled Clematis, who was about to refute it. Then she asked the question she was most concerned about: "What are you going to do with the remaining captives, Barrett?" Is that how they are tied here? ”

"So be it! If you look at where we are now, is there any other option? I can't do anything about killing prisoners, and I can't take them on the road with me. Speaking of this, Barrett smiled, "Anyway, there are several serious injuries in there that are not so easy to recover, so leave them to those viper guys to deal with themselves!" ”

"If that were the case, we wouldn't be able to camp here any longer. These guys are all instability. Although she had known that Barrett would receive such an answer according to her temper, Rielly still expressed her worries after hearing it herself.

"Although it is a bit risky to rush at night, with our strength, it should be okay to run slower." Speaking of this, Barrett looked up at the bright stars, "Anyway, if you follow the trade road, you are not afraid of getting lost." ”

Players who had then completed their preparations began their own nighttime itinerary that was rare after entering the game. Thanks to the horses sent by the Viper Cavalry Regiment, Rielly didn't have to summon mounts this time, not to mention, there were spare horses that could be used exclusively for those loot for camel transport.

After the players had gone away, Rielly, who was in the middle of the team, suddenly said, "I have enough experience now, and I will be able to get 4 rings of spells after leveling up tomorrow morning." ”

"Can you actually upgrade? Lily, why didn't you just say it! Claudia asked cheerfully.

Hearing this, Clematis glanced at his friend angrily: "Isn't this a brain? It's not that I'm afraid of being heard by the captives. By the time those guys launched a second attack, Rielly was just in time to surprise them. ”

"4 rings! Rielely: Do you have anything in mind? Even Barrett, who was leading the way, turned his head back slightly.

"It's really hard to choose! Dimensional anchors prohibit opponents from moving across planes. If it had been, several of the enemies who had fled would have been able to stay. Secondary spell nullification enchantments are super cost-effective, especially since we'll be facing more and more casters in the future. Any door is the best spell for escape and raid. Ice Storm combines damage and control in one. As for the Transfiguration, I think the previous Transfiguration Technique is very useful, and this one should be stronger. Rielly offered a few of her options.

Of course, the number of 4-ring spells of the mage is far more than that, even if the range that can be obtained directly by leveling up is quite limited, there are more than ten options. It's just that these are the ones that Rielly thinks she needs the most at the moment - for example, the 'weak spell' that she excluded is a very powerful negative spell, but unfortunately the players have not encountered an enemy who needs to use this spell so far.

Barrett, who turned his head to look at the road ahead, pondered for a moment and then said, "Transfiguration!" Can you change as you want as you want as you do with Transfiguration? ”

"I've got a knowledge test for this." Hearing this, Rielly immediately began to let go. Fortunately, the system automatically took over her riding control, otherwise the mage might have fallen off her horse.

After a while, the mage finally spoke: "As long as the internal appearance is activated, it can transform into the same type of creature, and the rest only need to know enough about the difference." All Transfiguration objects need to have a special map, but fortunately, players can freely choose two when they first learn Transfiguration. ”

"Freely choose two?" Barrett's face also showed a look of embarrassment: "It's really hard to choose!" The key is what style you plan to follow after your transformation. ”

"What style? Barrett, I'm not a fighter, so fighting style has nothing to do with me! "Rielie is a little confused.

"If you're planning to gain mobility by transforming into a dragon, I'd suggest you choose the Pengyu Angel. The creature didn't fly as fast as the dragon, but it surpassed the horse. And the physical attributes on offer are also good. Barrett paused, "Of course, if you're looking for special hand-to-hand combat abilities, griffons and hydras are good choices. As for the ability to control the class, the dormant pseudo-monster is very good. ”

Griffins and hydra lizards naturally need no further introduction. Peng Yutian is a tall creature that usually stands 7 feet tall. Their bones are strong and light, yet they weigh less than 120 pounds. Their hands grow at the joints between their wings, and when they are not used for flight, they are as dexterous as human arms. This celestial creature is adept at aerial combat, often taking advantage of his agility and speed in the air to strike his enemies with his claws. It's a good alternative for air combat.

The dormant pseudo-monster is almost the same as a normal black cloak, and the active damage ability of this monster is not very strong. But its low sound is a very good means of control. These guys are capable of making dangerously low subsonic noises. By changing the frequency of the generating waves, dormant pseudo-monsters can produce four completely different negative states: restlessness, fear, nausea, or immobilization.

Although limited with psychic as well as sound waves, there are great limitations to use. And the difficulty of the exemption is not too high. However, against its large number of miscellaneous soldiers, the cost performance is much higher than that of fireballs. (To be continued.) )
