Chapter 167: Rat-Throwing Trap

"That's it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" pushed open the door of the Magic Mansion, and Barrett sent good news to his companions.

Lalu, who was sitting in the chair, shook his calves and smiled, "I knew it wasn't a problem for you, Barrett." ”

"It's not entirely my credit. Who made us have so many spellcasters in our team! If there are no surprises, a cavalry regiment like this will rarely refuse. Barrett turned and closed the door as he spoke.

"It looks like we're popular!" Claudia jumped off the stool and stretched.

As soon as the words fell, Clematis's big hand was already pressed on his friend's head: "Don't be complacent, didn't you hear Barrett say kind words?" ”

"Tice, you're too serious. I don't think I really didn't hear it! Claudia glanced at her friend angrily, "It's rare to be able to understand other people's bodies, so let me pretend to be stupid and won't lose a piece of meat!" ”

"That's a good grasp for me! Otherwise, I wouldn't dare tell anyone that I know you. As he spoke, Clematis put on a look of disgust for you. It's a pity that Claudia, who knows that the other party is a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted, is not moved by this meaningless threat at all.

"Smack!" Closing the book, Rielly immediately spoke, "You two don't make trouble!" Let's get down to business now! Barrett: How sure do you think we'll be going to escape to safety? ”

"Haven't we already escaped? And now those Lucians haven't been able to catch up, so I don't think there should be any problems! Although it may feel like an opposition for the sake of opposition, Claudia's logic makes sense.

The halfling wanderer with the carved wood carving on the side also joined the argument at this time: "That's right, it will take them a lot of time just to take over Camplin City. So it should be unlikely that the Lucia soldiers will chase after them when they are not on their feet. And if we transfer people from other places, it should not be a matter of time. ”

"Don't think of everything so idealistically! Although it is theoretically possible to say so, who knows if there are other Lucian troops in the vicinity that can be mobilized. If that happens, who knows if it's going to be another uphill battle. Rielie still stands by her opinion.

"Be quiet! Be quiet! After being away for a while, Barrett found that his teammates were really much more active, "You guys don't guess here. You don't really know what is going on. When you know the specific situation, you will understand that the Lucians will not let go of our team,"

"Is there anything we don't know about?" Hearing this, the anvil even lowered his stubby fingers, which were grooming his beard.

Rielly tapped her forehead with her finger, "I hate the unknown that pops up. Barrett, you better hurry up! We fell to the ground and missed something. ”

"This time, General Hail, who led the attack on the city of Camprin, died at the hands of the knights of Bapti. Although the Cruze knight who escorted you out of Camplin was also killed. But because of General Mikhail's status, those Lucia people will definitely not give up. Compared to before the Bapti Knight, Barrett's tone was more affirmative at this time. He then told his companions about the status of the general Hail in the kingdom of Lucia.

"It's really a hornet's nest. If I were the one in charge of the Lucia Kingdom here, I would definitely take revenge at all costs. After listening to Barrett's story, the expression on Rielly's face was already more ugly than crying.

As the pride of the Kingdom of Lucia, it is also a very important mainstay now. General Mikhail not only had a high position in Lucia, but was also a banner for the army. His death was not only a loss of combat effectiveness, but also caused a political incident with no small impact.

In today's day, Bapti can be said to have slapped the Lucia Kingdom in the face hard. The effect of this cutting down a banner was enough to shake Lucia's army in Cruze, and even cause a storm in Lucia. The best way to calm the matter is to eliminate the culprit who caused the incident, and although Mr. Bapti is the first to bear the brunt of this matter, others involved in the city of Camplin will probably be angered as well.

Perhaps this possible retaliation is not a tactical option. It has the potential to cause the Lucian Kingdom's offensive in other directions to become seriously lagging behind. The entire battle plan even had to be adjusted as a result. But if you don't retaliate, you can't do it, otherwise the two generations who grew up listening to General Mikhail's story in China will definitely be greatly affected by this. At the same time, the storm of public opinion is enough for those big nobles to be anxious.

So sometimes, battles that don't seem cost-effective have to be fought. After all, war is a continuation of politics, and for the sake of domestic public opinion and political stability, officers and soldiers on the front line naturally become victims. Of course, whether this sacrifice is worth it or not will be viewed differently in the eyes of different people.

Of course, what Barrett and others don't know is that the reason why General Mikhail will be the commander of the attack on Camplin City this time is actually to train those noble children of the Lucia Kingdom. After all, Camplin City is not a big joke, it will not be easily captured, and it will definitely fall if it takes a little effort. This makes it a very suitable training ground.

If it's too weak, the battle will lose the meaning of training, and if it's too strong, it may leave a shadow on the psychology of the second lord. Therefore, the kingdom of Lucia chose and chosen, and finally chose Camplin, a city that was not too difficult but not too easy to capture.

And if you want to suppress the lawless second generation in the past, it is useless to arrange ordinary generals. Only a national icon like General Mikhail has that kind of deterrent power to ensure that the plan can go smoothly.

But in the melee outside the city during the day today, the Lord Lucia II who came to exercise also suffered heavy casualties. While most of these guys don't go back to doing their hard work, who makes the job of chasing the fugitives seem like an easy fat job in the first place! What's more, each of the Second Lords has a strong guard several times larger than them by their side, responsible for safety.

However, no matter how well prepared you are, you can't say that you are absolutely safe on the battlefield. In particular, the sudden appearance of the Boreham Rangers instantly caused heavy casualties to Lucia's riders. The sword has no eyes, and perhaps the guards are still trying to protect their employers, but whether they can do it or not is not up to them. As for the two hostile teams, it's too late to kill people, so how can there be effort to distinguish the identity of the target.

Both the solo march of the Bapti knights and the subsequent rout inflicted heavy losses on that Syrian cavalry regiment. Among them, the heirs of the great nobles also died in the double digits. So much so that although he succeeded in occupying the city of Camprin, the camp outside the city seemed to be shrouded in low air pressure, and the dullness made everyone feel uncomfortable.

No one was celebrating the joy of victory here, and even the ragtag soldiers who had just been looting in Campring noticed the difference. In the camp in the center of the inner camp a row of stretchers covered with white cloth were lined up one after another, and an officer walked in the direction of the stretchers in a flat line. The contours of his face were eeriely terrifying under the light of the fire.

"Lancelot, Lakeman, Bonita, Bridgewater, Antoinette, Barnwall and Absolon. Although they are not first-class families, they also have a lot of influence in China. The man with the hooked nose gritted his teeth and said, "After the settlement of the First World War, all the first heirs of the seven families died here, do you think anyone will be able to live in peace?" ”

While most families have far more than one heir, their death will definitely cause some people to rejoice. But the families who died in the first line of succession will definitely investigate the specific cause of this incident. Under the premise that General Mikhail was martyred, none of the few present could afford such consequences.

"Revenge must be taken, and the murderers must be severely punished. Otherwise, we will definitely be tossed to death by the parents of these little children. Lao Tzu has decades to live! I don't want to be with them so early. The hook-nosed man, who had finally stopped, stretched out his hand and pointed to the corpse in front of him and said in a spine-tingling voice.

"If we could have done that, we would have organized people a long time ago. But looking at the current situation in the camp, can you still organize a decent pursuit cavalry? At this time, an officer on the other side of the body raised his head, "If we want to calm the incident as soon as possible, we must call the nearby army to borrow troops or ask for support." ”

After a day's battle, the Lucian camp could not pull out that medium-sized cavalry regiment for a short time. Originally, this cavalry regiment consisted of two parts, one part was General Mikhail's personal guard, but after the general's death it fell into a languishing - some people may say that the mourning army will win, but how many such cases are the initiative!

And the other part of the members are, of course, the second lord and their guards who carry the work of the second lord and their guards. But because of the battle during the day, they were reluctant to go to the battlefield again in a short period of time, with heavy casualties. Even if they wanted to, after such a big incident, those officers would never agree to let them join.

So Barrett guessed that the Lucians were going to retaliate, but he didn't know how much they wanted to get revenge. So in the camp there were immediately two factions that refuted each other. But they couldn't convince the other side of the two factions to cease fighting, and then had to ask for help. This greatly increases the reaction time of the fleeing team, providing them with ample buffer opportunities to prepare.

Unfortunately, Lucia's bureaucracy, though slow at most of the time, is surprisingly efficient when it comes to the seat under the ass. The council halls of Lucia's capital were lit up all night, and the roar felt the plane's guards vibrate their eardrums through the doors and windows.

Lancelot, Lakeman, Bonita, Bridgewater, Antoinette, Barnwall, and Absolon, seven of the great nobles who lost their sons on the same day, are using their eloquence and influence to make their way through the halls of Parliament. They are trying to adopt resolutions in order to mobilize more forces for retaliation. After all, the forces that can be mobilized by the military's spontaneous actions in private are generally not very large. However, once a unified will is formed at the top, then it will be able to freely act vigorously -- this is the biggest difference between unspoken rules and laws.

Although in the eyes of many people, these great aristocrats should all be political creatures, even political creatures cannot completely abandon the influence of emotions. The pain of losing a child is by no means something that anyone can easily endure. Not to mention the sudden death of the first heir, not only means that more than ten years of investment have been wasted, but also will cause turmoil within the family in the future.

Although according to the rules, when the original heir in the first line dies, he should be replaced by the second in line. However, unlike the first heir, who is often overwhelmingly dominant, the gap between the successors of the later sequence is usually not very large. This leads to a battle within their family if it is not handled well.

After some exchange of spit and paper, Lucia's wartime parliament passed an emergency bill that allowed Lucia's army in the Cruze to organize a manpower to encircle and suppress the fanatics who had assassinated General Mikhail without prejudice to the results of the battle.

That's right, 'encircle and suppress the fanatic who assassinated General Mikhail'. Even the Kingdom of Lucia did not dare to make it clear that the mobilization of troops to encircle and suppress was to reward the heirs of those families. Otherwise, let alone the 'black cattle' at the bottom, even those middle-level small nobles would not be willing to fight for those dead second generations.

However, when the Kingdom of Lucia completed the adjustment of this bill in a short period of time, neither the Boreham Rangers nor the fugitives from Camplin City had a hard time. After all, the number of people in the team is large, and the speed of progress will inevitably be affected. Just one day is not enough time for them to enter an area away from the fighting.

Although the movement of the army is not a simple matter, it is unlikely that Lucia will gather a large army to find trouble all at once. But small groups of harassing cavalry appeared in front of Barrett from time to time. (To be continued.) )
