The sun was shining, and a bird's-eye view of the land from the angle of the big fireball of Poitu City, and the scattered rocky hills added a touch of dilapidated air to it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAlthough last night's battle was well planned from the beginning, it was inevitable that other innocent people would still suffer.

In particular, the neighbors of the mole's dwelling suffered greatly from their resistance and arson, and even the professional firefighters, no matter how timely they were, had to wait until the battle was over. During this time, it was enough for the fire to destroy ordinary houses.

The boys pushing the waterwheels were only able to stop the fire from spreading, and the buildings that were already on fire turned into white ground. The only thing that seems to be thankful is that the city's busiest shopping street and the city hall, which is the administrative center, have not been affected.

Of course, this was due to the relatively strong garrisons and strict inspections of the two places - the moles did not dare to set up their strongholds here. It's definitely not because the land price here is too expensive, and it is difficult for those low-level intelligence to settle down.

Walking through the neighborhood he had been in the previous night, Barrett felt no more anger and laughter, only heaviness and sadness—a young face appeared in front of him around the corner in the crumbling rubble. It was a little girl around 5-6 years old.

Because of the sudden fright last night, even after more than half a year of buffering, the little girl's facial expression still looked a little sluggish, and the little face that should have been ruddy has turned black, yellow, black and yellow. On her face, tears of crying could be faintly seen, but her eyes looked at the ruins with a little hope. The little girl's mouth was still open and closed, crying out her mother's name.

And above the ruins, there was a sturdy man clutching something in his hands, and his back was so pale and weak. From this point of view, Barrett couldn't see what was in his arms, but combined with the cry of the girl, it was naturally not difficult to understand.

'Alas! With a sigh, Barrett walked past the tragic family and took his attention off theirs. Because he knew that such a loss was inevitable, and it was impossible for last night's operation to be canceled because of it - a momentary intolerance would only allow more people to experience such a tragedy in the future.

Fortunately, the situation of the next few victim families is much better than that one. Although their houses were damaged to varying degrees, there was no loss of personnel after all. This is a blessing in the midst of misfortune for the families whose property was destroyed.

This is because there are not many people affected by the disaster, and it is still affected by official actions. Therefore, Bolim will definitely provide some compensation and compensation for the loss of these poor people. According to what Barrett received from the Earl of Boreham, the official will give them free repairs to the house and arrange for them to stay during this time. Of course, if there are casualties, there is an additional allowance. But for the few people whose loved ones have died, how much meaning can this money have?

Barrett, who had been walking around the downtown, had never been able to meet what he wanted, even though he had chosen the out-of-the-way lanes: 'It seems that my performance is too deliberate, and those guys are eighty percent vigilant. ’

If last night's action can be said to be that they didn't have time to prepare, and they didn't dare to act rashly when Barrett led the troops. So today, when he was alone outside, he still encountered any temptation, and the attackers, who could only say that they were probable, had already seen through the intention of Barrett's action.

A little discouraged, he had to return to the barracks, only to get the news that the Earl of Boreham was going to summon him as soon as night. Following the herald, he quickly arrived at the castle, and later saw the Count of Boram holding a book in the tearoom.

"Nothing has been gained from today's temptation!" The Earl of Boreham, who had put down the book in his hand, looked at Barrett with a smile.

Barrett, who was slightly embarrassed to hear this, scratched the back of his head: "I didn't have much hope for this matter. It's just an attitude of trying once you can. ”

"That's it! Now that things are like this, don't waste your time on this. Count Boram's expression also became serious when he said this: "In 5 days at the latest, we will send the cavalry to the Kingdom of Lucia. In the meantime, you need to be prepared. ”

"Raise troops now? But isn't the Ranger regiment in the territory still rebuilt? Barrett asked, a little worried.

Although the Earl of Boreham had no obligation to explain to him, he still said out of the attitude of promoting his juniors: "Don't worry so much, in the future, when you are a ranger, you will use the style of a ranger, and when you are not a ranger, you will use the style of play without a ranger." What's more, we are still only on the border first, and it is not clear when a full-scale war will begin. ”

"Understood, I'll go and prepare right away." Barrett naturally knew what this meant, and immediately prepared to retire.

…………

Spears glistened in the sun, and a square procession marched along the avenue, the leading flag fluttering in the wind.

The long whip waved, and with a "snap" of the whip, the four horses walked and the caravan slowly moved on the road

Although this team is only composed of two teams, Bolim and Val, there must be a lot of flags flown here. The most striking of these is naturally the banner of the Vaal family.

Baron Vaal's banner is set against the backdrop of a golden sun in a sea of clouds, bright and dark, with a sword facing upwards in the center of the figure. And the hilt of the sword is embellished with a laurel wreath.

The sun is the symbol of the Vaal family, the unique power of the bloodline of the Lord God of Light in the human world. The sharp sword symbolizes the bravery and strength of this family. As for that laurel wreath, it's not for anyone - it's a symbol of legend.

The former head of their family, who had been the knight of Boreham, was still alive and well. The handsome old man with the blood of the upper echelons, although he has long been out of the main plane, he is still a frequent visitor to the troubadour's stories.

As a more remote branch of the Vaal family, it was originally possible to choose only the orange-red sun as the background. And this golden sun is also his privilege as a legend, and it is combined with the laurel crown with the original long sword, which is worthy of the title of Vaal Knight - the Sword of Dawn. However, after the death of the old Baron Val, the banner of the family had to be changed.

The banner of the Boreham collar is a half-unsheathed sword in a blue scabbard decorated with white edelweiss and turquoise ivy. At the same time, behind the long sword, there is also a certain laurel of Lou Xiu.

The long sword represents military merit and also symbolizes the virtues of justice and forgiveness in combat. This is one of the virtues of knights, and it is one of the many coats of arms that represent the knight's home.

The half-unsheathed sword shows that this family once had excellent commanders, and they have occupied such positions as think tanks in the army for a long time. Although the half-unsheathed sword is not sharp, it is also a cold light, and this semi-hidden deterrence seems to be the embodiment of planning and then acting.

The meaning of the laurel is naturally the same as that of Varga, in fact, if the news of Georgie's successful canonization had not been widely publicized, this banner would have changed a lot.

The remaining edelweiss represents the brave ivy and symbolizes loyalty, and it is very appropriate to use it as an embellishment - but now the object of loyalty is somewhat spoken.

In addition to the banners of the two lords, the knights who accompanied the army also had their own banners. For example, the banner of the Knight of Ovaltine, which is a spear and shield. The spear represents knightly duty and the supreme pursuit of glory, while the shield is a symbol of the defender.

As for the four-leaf clover, it represents true love, giving, fame and wealth. It is also a symbol of luck and patriotism. For a relatively ordinary knight family, such a banner can be regarded as decent.

Along the way, the neat costumes and neat steps of the group made them a stark contrast to the caravans that came and went, as well as the wanderers around them. Yes, this kind of orderly march in an almost uniform pace. Although it is not necessarily a mighty division, it is at least a delicate division.

―――――――――――― make up tomorrow――――――――――

Of course, the most dangerous thing is that the maker himself has sinister intentions, just like the Lord of the Rings mentioned above. Often, these items are created to control the minds of others, or they can lure the wearer into falling, such as the famous Faction Upside Down Helmet. "The fact is that cursed items that are specifically crafted usually have a fairly definite purpose, and are also uncommon." As he spoke, the Vaal Knight seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness just now, and his face widened a lot, "In fact, the most common are cursed items, which are actually those fakes in the unusual sense. ”

"Fakes? Or is it in the unconventional sense? "Now Georgie is at a loss.

The Vaal Knight waved his hands as if he were speaking, "That's right! The fakes also glowed with magic. Although there are no corresponding magical powers at all, they can make people feel that they are not problematic. The wielder will have full confidence in the item's magical effects. It wasn't until he was cast the spell "Remove the Curse" that he couldn't regret it. ”

The Faulkner Knight, who has always been known for his steady image, also joked at this time: "Those guys are really unlucky!" No matter how low the price is, as long as it's a magic item, it's not cheap. I think those guys who found out that they had been deceived might be so heartbroken that they wanted to vomit blood. ”

"I think their pain is more than just money. In the face of danger, ineffective magical items often cost the user's life. Georgie didn't forget to mix it up at this time, as if he had forgotten the assassination just now. In fact, he did not want to make his assassination public.

Although it is not a time of crisis for the GIs to overwhelm the realm, it is a tug-of-war with the dark elves. However, it also filled the hearts of residents near the entrance of the passage with a radius of more than 100 kilometers. Although it has not yet reached the level of all grass and trees, a little wind and grass will still cause a burst of gossip.

Who made those dark elves connoisseurs! Suppressed on the frontal battlefield, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not use any asymmetrical methods of warfare - such as assassinating prominent people in nearby towns, setting fire to crowded places such as taverns and bazaars to create panic.

At this time, if the news of Georgie's assassination comes out, then the scene that will happen can be imagined. This is just the right thing for the enemy, and although the assassination failed, it also achieved part of the strategic purpose. So Georgie is not prepared to conduct a search with great fanfare, and the stability of the situation is more important at such times.

Of course, Georgie won't let go of the guy who shot at him so easily. Crowd tactics are not effective ways to find a person in a magical world - although they are often the cheapest. But the soothsayer beside the Vaal Knight has become the best choice in Georgie's eyes, although it is expensive, but Georgie thinks that there is no shortage of money in this area, or that the investment in this area is worth it.

However, since this kind of accident happened, it is not easy to pretend to be casual in front of the world. Although Georgie has been acting for many years, he doesn't think he can be free in this matter. And the behavior of the two knights just now is not only answering Georgie's questions, but also helping him adjust his mentality.

"In fact, for many people, what happened to them made them feel that they might as well lose their lives. I remember that a few years ago, in the commercial republic of the South, there was a big businessman with a quirk who used a fake invisibility ring to peep into the public women's bathroom in the civic area. I don't think I'm going to need to describe what happened after that. As he spoke, the Vaal Knight winked at the two of them, "Those merchants who have become the laughing stock of the entire city, although the adventurers who sold him this ring before offering a large bounty. But all was gone. ”

"That's true. But hopefully that hapless pervert won't go bankrupt because of this. Georgie said with a smile. However, both his tone and expression were gloating. In fact, that kind of reputation is enough to ruin a small and medium-sized chamber of commerce with a small and medium-sized history. Because almost all chambers of commerce have competitors, those people will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity. (To be continued.) )
