"That's how it happened this time. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Several of our encounters were somewhat unexpected. Although the mission was successfully completed in the end, the loss was really large...... "In the well-lit office, Barrett began his own debriefing work.

As a member of the Temporary Gasser movement, he acted together, but he did not belong to the same system as the other participants. Even the debriefing needed to be kept separate — to put it another way, Barrett was also temporarily working as a covert military supervisor or intelligence officer.

At the end of the statement, he also emphasized: "These are just my own observations along the way, limited by my knowledge and observation, may be too one-sided, and even have serious misunderstandings." ”

"You little guy don't have to worry so much. Our Bolim Territory's intelligence system is not tied to you alone. By aggregating from multiple sources, we were able to find relatively true answers. The Earl of Boreham waved his hand lightly, signaling Barrett not to be so nervous. For the younger generations who have the ability and sense of responsibility, the leaders of these big families have always been relatively kind.

Barrett, who was somewhat relieved in his heart, couldn't help but ask at this time: "The loss of so many seafarers should have a great impact on the territory!" And we're going to fight the Kingdom of Lucia right next, won't that ......"

After so many ups and downs, although the three frigates "Silver Sword Brave", "Mithril Core" and "Iron Curtain Barrier" have all successfully returned, the loss of the entourage is far worse than the material for Boreham Lord.

Whether it's the cultivation of manpower or the impact on the entire population structure of the territory, such a loss will cause a cascade of reactions in the Boreham Order. While the wealthy Boreham Territory has always attracted displaced people from its influence, it takes time and money to convert the newcomers into trustworthy and useful seafarers.

Money can always find a way to solve it for Boreham Collar, but there is no way to solve the problem of time. As for the captives brought back by the fleet, not to mention that some of them would be ransomed for ransom, and the rest were mostly technicians—and the Bolham Command was in desperate need of old sailors and marines, and it would be too brutal to use them reluctantly. Not to mention that it takes a lot of time to make sure they're trustworthy.

"Don't worry! After all, the sea power that those guys in Lucia can drive is limited, and after this confrontation, they can't gather decent forces in a short time. And aren't their collaborators also exposed? Now it is already us who has the initiative. Speaking of this, the Earl of Boram touched the tea cup on the side and smiled, "The biggest surprise is probably that we blocked the gun for the Tutkel Commercial Republic!" ”

As mentioned before, the loss of six large galleys and seafarers was a nerve-wracking blow for a force like the Republic of Gunak. Although it was not impossible for the city-state to budget for the rebuilding of the ships, they faced the same problem as the Boreham Lords - a shortage of sailors.

This commercial metropolis is less capable of bearing population loss than Boreham Collar. Not to mention the negative impact that a weakened navy would have on their maritime trade. There are definitely a lot of peripheral forces staring at the Republic of Gunak now, and under the watchful eye of those people, they will never dare to act at will when the navy is fully restored.

So for a long time to come, the Republic of Gunak will not be able to make trouble for Boreham. Instead, the Bolim Territory can give the Lucian Kingdom's distant allies a little trouble and make their cooperation less smooth. From a strategic point of view, resistance can be regarded as a loss and a gain.

Of course, the activation of many sacrifices was indeed beyond everyone's expectations, but this kind of accident is really nowhere to be found - the god's thoughts are too difficult to guess, and what kind of situation will arise is known in advance.

"Facing those sea beasts in the middle of the ocean is a disaster. Afterwards, the Morpheus Knight kept saying that he would make the forces that held the sacrifice pay the price. Barrett still remembers the tide of sea beasts.

"I'm afraid this matter will slow down for a while, and I'll go back and persuade Morpheus. In this situation, we must concentrate our resources on the war that is about to begin. As long as the new sea passage is established, the rest of the accounts will be calculated slowly one by one when we have free up our hands later. The Earl of Boreham motioned to Barrett not to put too much effort into this.

Barrett nodded: "Since it is the Earl, you will make the move, then the matter will definitely be solved immediately." ”

"Don't put a top hat on me, it's good that you kid can come back safely this time. For the next action, it's better not to take such a big risk again. The Earl of Boreham glanced at Barrett thoughtfully. Apparently still concerned about the safety of this divine descent vessel.

Immediately afterwards, Barrett took out a scroll from the space bag: "Although this operation is difficult, it has been passed without danger after all." The directional teleportation scroll you gave me, Lord Earl, should also be able to be recovered. ”

"Since the scroll is given to you, there is no need to take it back. Think of it as part of your payout for this mission. Although it is only a test given by the one above, he is him and I am me. I'll give you the reward you deserve. The Earl of Boreham, who touched the ring in his hand, said with a smile.

Immediately after that, Barrett's ears sounded a system prompt: "Player Barrett undertakes to accept the historical mission 'Sword and Fire' prologue 'New Artery' to complete...... Task Reward Settlement...... Quest ...... series Selectable accumulation ......"

Hearing this, Barrett chose to accumulate without saying a word, but even so, there were still a lot of hints of experience, prestige, and family contribution. Especially in terms of family contributions, there is still a lot left after deducting that scroll. If you consider the dividends in terms of loot, Barrett is also full of oil this time.

Barrett, who had done all this, nodded his head, and then he asked another question of his own concern: "Lord Earl." Has anything changed in the direction of Cruze during my absence? ”

"What else can change, it's impossible to hold back the iron hooves of the Lucia with that group of waste from the Cruze Kingdom." Count Boreham's attitude was naturally a little disdainful, "Now there is a large amount of land and manors in the west of the Cruze Kingdom. Most of the enemy nobles were only able to concentrate on a few large cities to focus on defense. ”

"Didn't we Norhan do anything during this time?" Barrett asked, somewhat puzzled, if he didn't believe that the kingdom would continue to make trouble for its opponents while the power was prepared.

Although the players of 'Bloodstained Grey Flower' remained in Nohan territory during this time. But the information they have access to is clearly not first-hand. So the news I heard during the exchange was a bit distorted. It's really hard to use Barrett as a reference - of course, this is because those players don't pay much attention to this aspect, otherwise it is not difficult for Clematis to get relatively accurate war information from the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce if he is really willing to spend money.

"With the deployment of the large army, the men we sent will only be able to cause the Lucians a little trouble behind enemy lines. And you need to think about your own safety, so the frequency of action has also dropped significantly. Speaking of this, the Earl of Bolum suddenly changed his voice, "But spring is about to begin, and the next Lucian offensive will inevitably be affected." The situation will still change. ”

Although the scene of spring has already appeared in the commercial republic of Tutkel, there are still some days before the Spring Maiden sets foot on the Northland. And once spring begins, the melting snow will turn the ground into a muddy ground, which will have a considerable impact on most Lucia soldiers in the wild.

What's more, once it is spring ploughing season, some of the so many people recruited by Lucia must have to be sent back to the estate. This would have a considerable impact on the combat effectiveness of the front-line army, so the Earl of Boreham was not too worried about the situation in front of him.

Because the Lucia Kingdom's strategic intentions were not achieved at the beginning, it was only to disperse the Cruze Kingdom's power in remote areas and small towns, not to mention that they could not effectively control the occupied land. In an environment like the Western Continent, the tactic of 'surrounding the city from the countryside' is a joke in itself - a large city has enough power to overwhelm the surrounding small villages and towns. Otherwise, there would not have been a unique form of government like that of independent cities.

Barrett, who has listened to it for so long, naturally saw the trickiness behind this: "It seems that the royal family is still waiting for them to lose!" ”

"It's impossible to lose both, and the Cruzes are hoping that they can weaken the Lucia as much as possible. When will we officially make a move, just wait for the news from the royal capital! The Earl of Boreham didn't say anything drastic about this, as if the Mao Dun between him and the royal family had never existed.

As a politician, the Earl of Boreham naturally knows what to say and when. If in peacetime, in the midst of the enemy's powerful faction and royal power, he naturally needs to rely on that kind of speech to strengthen and show his position.

However, the general environment is different now, and what the Norhan kingdom needs most about participating in the war is unity. Therefore, the confrontational rhetoric and attitude of the past must all be reined in, and everyone must show the appearance of the whole country as one, which is not only for the people below, but also to 'deceive' themselves.

Barrett, who understood what was going on after thinking about it, immediately smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll retire for the time being." If you have any orders, Lord Earl, you can send someone to assign me a task at any time. ”

"I've been out for so long, you kid go and rest for a few days first!" Earl Borem looked at Barrett and scolded, "But it's only been a few days, and now everyone is busy with Lucia's affairs." There's no reason to leave you idle. ”

"Then I'll go back and wait for news." Barrett bowed and immediately exited the office.

He then rode back to the hotel where his companions had been staying for a long time. After entering the hotel chartered by the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' mercenary group, Barrett immediately tore his throat: "Guys, I'm back." ”

With this voice, the windows in the courtyard were opened one after another, and then Clematis, Claudia, and Rielly actually said in unison, "Where are all the things we asked you to buy before!" ”

"Don't look for those things as soon as you meet, okay, I'm embarrassed!" Although Barrett said this, he still skillfully took out the imported goods in the dimensional bag to several female companions one by one.

Claudia waved the beautiful scarf, and then rubbed her face with her face: "Not bad, not bad!" Barrett, your eyes are okay! I was worried that you would come back with something too flashy! ”

Immediately afterwards, Kleimatis was satisfied with the hairpin and tied it into his hair: "Although the effect does not seem to be very practical. However, looking at the score of this process and style, it is not a loss. ”

And Riel Lilli, who took the 'magic rosary' and the spell book, had a slightly bitter face: "This month's budget is going to be worth it again, Barrett, how can you get these good things every time you go out?" ”

Barrett, who then played with the roll outside, smiled: "Because I kill people fast enough, those guys are already dead before they can remember to use the props." Therefore, the loot is more abundant. ”

Of course, in addition to the procurement tasks assigned by several gold owners, Barrett also brought their own small gifts to the rest of his companions. Then he got into the groove and began to reassess the strength of his teammates.

The first is that after this period of mission, Klaymatis was also promoted again. This time the level increase gave her a real ability to hide in battle, "Treasure Protection"

From level 3 onwards, when the Golden Eye Emissary protects a property owned by him that is worth more than 5,000 gold (or any of his buildings or businesses), he will receive +2 bonus for his attack, immunity, and skill and attribute tests.

In addition, when protecting property belonging to the Church of Workin, the Golden-Eyed Messenger also receives this bonus. However, the property must be unprotected for this to be effective, i.e. the emissary and his companions are not in possession or carrying.

In other words, as long as Klaimatis has more than 5,000 gold coins (non-equipment) on his body, he can almost maintain this enhanced state for a long time in battle. It seems that it is quite cost-effective. (To be continued.) )
