The first thing players who re-encamp do is insist on whether their group has left any traces of their previous trip - despite the help of the Snow Boots, neither the humans nor the mounts will leave any footprints on the snowfield. With the help of the special ointment www.biquge.info the smell has already dissipated with the wind. But when you lead your mount through the woods, you will inevitably catch some tiny dead branches.

Although such traces are unwritten and incoherent, they are very obvious signs to some experienced hunters. Therefore, under the guidance of a halfling wanderer with rich experience in anti-reconnaissance, he, Catboy and Barrett spent a lot of time completely erasing these traces.

Once fully settled, the first thing Barrett did was to report to Borem in detail what had happened through 'Dichella's letterpaper' – a level of conflict that in a sense surpassed normal border friction. If the Boreham family does not get the news in time, they may become passive in the event of any diplomatic disputes.

About three hours after the message was delivered, the communication gem hanging on the wall finally reappeared with a projection - 'Well done!' Stay safe. ’

Looking at the projected words, Barrett touched his chin: "Sure enough, it's this style!" No matter what it is, as long as you win, the family will find a way to fight for you. But what does it mean to be safe? Could it be that he is worried about the next retaliation from Lucia's side? ”

"If that's the case, I'm afraid we'll have to be a little more careful in our next move." Rielly, who was on the side, put down the book in her hand at this time and took over the conversation: "Then do you still want to monitor that fortress?" You must know that the distance from here to that fortress is not short, and it takes at least 2 hours to go back and forth. If one person were to be monitored, as was the case in the past, the risk to the watcher would be too great. But if you want to divide the team, the impact on the strength is not small. It will also give the other party the possibility of breaking it one by one. ”

Upon hearing this, the players immediately fell silent. The risks and benefits need to be carefully evaluated. So much so that for a while, no one was the first to speak. Clematis and Claudia pulled Rielly past them, touching their noses and glaring at each other, as if they were engaged in a silent exchange. Anvils and noodles lowered their heads, and only the wrinkles on their foreheads could be seen. Only Lalu was in a daze with wide eyes, and kindness had nothing to do with him at this time.

Turning his head to look at his teammates who were all silent, Barrett finally couldn't help but speak: "Then raise your hand to vote first!" If you plan to continue monitoring the nearest fortress, please raise your hand. ”

As the companions turned their gaze back to Barrett, Barrett didn't notice which of them raised his hand. Then he nodded: "I understand!" It seems that no one is going to keep an eye on the castle. ”

"Nope! No! No! Barrett, it's not like we've decided not to go. It's that I haven't got a good idea yet. Hearing this, Clematis immediately hurriedly explained.

Immediately, Barrett's eyes focused on several ladies: "Is it Klymatis that you haven't made up your mind, or are there none of the three of you?" ”

"None of the three of us!" As he spoke, Kleimatis reached out and patted the two friends beside him. Immediately, Rieli and Claudia nodded their heads in support of Clematis's remarks.

After straightening his bangs a little helplessly, Barrett skipped the cat boy and shifted his gaze to the two men: "Then the two of you don't want to go to the anvil and noodles?" ”

"Nope! Like the ladies, we're not sure what to choose. The two men looked at each other and exchanged glances, and then Noodle came forward to make his position clear.

After receiving such an answer in a row, Barrett had no choice but to let out a sigh with his hands on his hips: "Whew! You're so unassertive! Since I am so hesitant, I simply don't want to monitor it for a long time for the time being. Anyway, Claudia has a bronze griffin in her hand, so she just needs to go over and observe the movement over there once in a while. ”

"But what about our mission?" Rieli, who didn't really want to go, was worried about the mission after hearing Barrett say that she would give up monitoring.

"Don't worry! Our main task now is to monitor the opponent's pre-battle preparations, and we can complete the minimum requirements of the territory by observing them a few times a week. After glaring at the mage in front of him, who was more indecisive than himself, Barrett continued: "And if Lucia is really ready to overwhelm the territory with large troops, the originally formed trade route must be their first choice. What's more, the location where the bridge was repaired at the most important time in this neighborhood is also on the trade road, so it is relatively easy to monitor the other party's big moves. ”

Building bridges in this day and age is not an easy task. At the same time, after the completion of the construction, the meaning it carries determines the economic prosperity of a region in a sense. Therefore, the construction of each bridge is a very careful regional project, and from site selection to completion, it has to be certified and negotiated by craftsmen. Coupled with the long construction period and cost, even the emergence of a bridge may change the original direction of the trade route.

So the river was the first to be bridged in a large area around it on the site of the bridge that had just been destroyed by Barrett. Although if you build an improvised pontoon bridge, it is not impossible in other places. However, with current technology, general pontoon bridges are often unable to carry heavy vehicles. This is a serious consequence that cannot be borne by a large corps operation.

So Barrett felt that Lucia's vanguard would probably rebuild the bridge on the same site, because it was the narrowest part of the river, and the cost of time and materials was relatively low. What's more, if the other party builds in a different place, it is not too far to consider using the trade route. When the weather is a little better, it should not be difficult for players riding bronze griffins in the sky to spot signs of each other's movements.

"Then listen to you, after all, you are the expert in this area." Kleimatis pressed Rielly's shoulder while expressing support for Barrett's sentiments. Immediately, the next action arrangements of the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' have changed very much from before.

On the other side, the leaders of Tallinnburg were all extremely irritable at the moment. The fact that the team sent out had not been able to return for so long was completely different from their previous predictions. This means that they may have had some kind of accident.

At this time, Baron Schumacher was stepping on the stone floor of the fortress with his iron palm riding boots. He frantically walked from one end of the room to the other, and from one end to the other. Occasionally, I would see him rubbing his not much hair, and the whole person was extremely anxious.

Of course, there was such an unexpected change, and Baron Schumacher cannot be blamed for his emotional instability. You must know that the local armed force he personally pulled up is one of the most important political bargaining chips in his eyes. The manor, serf, and corps are the three elements that determine a person's status in Lucia's political territory. The rest of the money and personal strength, unless it can reach a certain height, it is difficult to have an impact on this.

Although the local armed forces were not entirely Baron Schumacher's private soldiers, with the help of the convenience of Emperor Tiangao, he had already infiltrated the corps that was being formed. Several years ago, this unit had become a hall of the Schumacher family, and even if it was an officer sent by the military department, he would not be able to carry out his work without coming to his own place to pay homage to the dock first.

Of course, this Baron Schumacher was not stupid enough to eat alone. The benefits that those officers should have taken according to the custom were also completely unseen. Otherwise, these actions in his private would have been reported layer by layer - cutting off people's financial routes is like killing parents, if there is a very direct conflict of interest, the other party will naturally not mind fighting with you. But if their own interests are not damaged, no one will take the initiative to trouble a local snake like Baron Schumacher for such a thing.

It is precisely because he has regarded these 3 teams of 100 as his own private property that he is now behaving so communicatively. The other person in the room looked at the restless person in front of him, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Lord Baron! Could you please listen to it first? You keep going around in circles like this, I don't feel dizzy, I feel dizzy! ”

Hearing this, Baron Schumacher stopped and looked at the man in the bearskin coat in front of him. If it was on his own turf, Baron Schumacher naturally had no concerns. But he was indeed in Tallinnburg, and the one in front of him was the highest commander of Tallinnburg, Sergeant Major Markle.

Although Baron Schumacher, as an outsider, did not have a good relationship with Sergeant Major Markle. But the real conflict is still the soldiers at the bottom, and there is still a certain tacit understanding between the officers who are nobles. And when the beast man troops arrived, the two immediately formed a united front against them.

However, as the supreme commander of this penal colony, Sergeant Major Markeld is also from a noble background, but he does not have a knighthood himself. Therefore, in front of Baron Schumacher, it is inevitable that he will feel a head low. However, as a local, although his subordinates are sparse, he still has a certain amount of bargaining chips.

Therefore, even if he expressed his respect, he still retained a certain degree of independence. So Baron Schumacher still has to ensure a certain level of politeness: "Okay! Then I'll sit down for a while. ”

"I understand your concerns. But even if you walk around the house, it won't do much other than make yourself more irritable. If the brute bear knows, I'm afraid it will fuel the other party's arrogance even more. Sergeant Major Markelle then began to persuade.

As a young son of a small nobleman and no inheritance. Sergeant Major Markeld was able to climb to the position he is today, even if he was only one of the leaders of the border fortress, and it was not so easy. There is a serious ranking in Lucia's army, and there are constant undercurrents. If a few wrists had been driven into the corner long ago, where could they still be a leader. So as for the relationship between Baron Schumacher and that army, he has figured it out these days.

――――Wait to make up――――
