As the bandits passed by from time to time, the homeless people hanging behind the line also had a commotion again and again. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info But even if those guys are harassed by the bandits, they will not be shaken at all, because they know that if they leave the team in front, they will not only be harassed when facing the bandits.

The Boreham Rangers and the Camplin City fugitives are more or less respectable, and they can't do anything to use violence against 'unarmed' civilians for no reason. This left them with the only way to hang the bottles behind them - the previous extortion of the fugitives from Camplin City against the homeless was for a reason, so naturally it was not gratuitous.

However, neither the Boreham Rangers nor the Camplin City Fugitives moved to chase them out, but they did not have the slightest intention of accommodating them, and the speed of the procession proceeded according to the established plan. Don't forget that both teams rode on horseback, and even if they didn't gallop and slow down, the horse's endurance was much stronger than that of most humans.

Therefore, it is not easy for those homeless people to keep up with the schedules of these two teams. Not to mention the fact that most of them suffer from mild or severe malnutrition. As the days passed, more and more people were left behind, and the number of displaced people who followed the ranks naturally decreased. In the end, what remains is either a person who is born with a good physique, or a person who is smart and smart. Of course, don't oppress other people's ruffians.

Since Britton City is close to the front line, the distance between it and Camplin City must not be too far. Even because of the number of people and the number of wounded, the whole trip took less than a week. As the distance approached, Barrett's eyes gradually appeared in front of some caravans.

As the so-called head-killing business is done, no one does the money-losing business. The huge business opportunities and benefits hidden in the war made these businessmen willing to take risks. However, in order to ensure maximum security, their investment in security can be several times higher than in peacetime.

It was the mercenaries who could see the fierce aura at a glance that ensured that the caravans in front of them could pass freely in the Cruze Kingdom. Even the outcasts hanging from the back of the caravan could only watch the caravan drool. They don't want to use their heads to gamble on whether the mercenaries will do anything to them.

As caravans appeared, Britton City grew closer. It was on a sunny afternoon that the walls of Britton City came into view of Barrett. Also in Barrett's eyes were the scaffolding that had been built on the city walls.

On top of a large winch, two shirtless men were struggling to pedal. With the turn of the winch, a basket full of building materials was pulled up to the top of the city. At the same time, a group of craftsmen with chisels and mallets were hammering on the top of the city.

"The addition project has not been completed yet? It seems that there is still a big problem with the mobilization ability of the Cruze Kingdom. Barrett sighed softly. From his point of view, the Cruze Kingdom is not yet able to defeat at this stage. Otherwise, if the war ends with the full involvement of the Norhan Kingdom, all preparations will be over.

"No wonder I saw so many caravans before, it turned out that Britton City was still preparing for war." Clematis, who was following Barrett, immediately picked up the conversation.

Barrett, who looked back, shook his head: "The biggest question now is whether the preparations here can be completed before the Lucians attack. If you can, that's the best, but if you don't have enough time, it's really a big problem. ”

"I hope the chief officer here can have an overall plan!" The Bapti knight, who suddenly appeared in front of Barrett, suddenly interjected.

Hearing this, Barrett immediately turned his head: "Mr. Baputy, will we join this fortress?" ”

"You don't have to worry about that, we'll be here for a few days at most. There should be more tasks to be issued on the territory side in the future. The Earl won't let us sit idle for long. Knight Bapti patted Barrett on the shoulder, "As for the Cruzeites in the city, they shouldn't have the courage to force us." If we really encounter that kind of strange thing, we are not without part of it. ”

As the two spoke, the team, consisting of Boreham Rangers and Camplin City fugitives, was also confronted by the guards in charge of the inspection. Before the Boreham Rangers could speak, the nobles among the Camplin City fugitives had already taken the lead in connecting with the defenders of Britton City.

Although the parts belonged to different cities, although the civil war in the Kingdom of Cruze was only a temporary ceasefire. But even after losing their territory, these nobles were still able to deter ordinary soldiers enough. Especially when they mentioned that they were going to stay in Britton City for the rest of the battle, they were warmly welcomed by the guards.

The guards at the city gate even sent a person directly into the city to report the news to inform the garrison of Britton City of this rare good news. Yes, for Britton City, the Campring City fugitives who have decided to join is indeed good news. Because there was so much bad news in Britton during this time, so much that the morale of the soldiers and craftsmen in the city was hit a lot.

Although the Lucians could not continue to advance at this stage due to their own reasons, it was still possible to arrange for those hidden intelligence agents to disrupt Britton City's war preparations. These damn gophers try their best to roam the city, pollute water sources, and try to set fires. Although there was no big mess with the efforts of the defenders in Britton, the small troubles were endless.

As for the craftsmen and people who built the city, they should not be as strict as the military internally, and the impact will be even greater. Almost every day, people run away because they can't stand the harassment and pressure, and their actions further undermine the morale of migrant workers. In this vicious circle, the progress of the project has been seriously slowed down.

Although the defenders of Britton City began a large-scale review and clean-up work, the intelligence officers of the Kingdom of Lucia were indeed much more professional than them. There are very few moles caught these days, and they are not very effective when they are hung on the city walls to warn future generations.

This made the mood of the entire Britton City garrison more depressed, and now they really needed exciting good news. And when the fugitive nobles from Camplin told the outcasts who had followed them, the guards' eyes lit up.

You must know that Britton City is now not only lacking in military backbone, but also has a huge gap in the basic labor force of the people. After all, the Cruze Kingdom was in the midst of a civil war before, and its mobilization ability will inevitably be greatly affected. As a result, there was a massive exodus of residents from Britton City before it was about to become a front line.

Most of these outgoing residents are the citizens of the city, but they are also indispensable to the low-level sufferers and the families of some nobles. The chambers of commerce in the city completed the transfer of assets earlier as if they were the prophets of the Spring River Plumbing Duck, but in order to make greater profits from Britton City's war preparations, their clerks remained in the city.

As a large number of basic laborers left Brierton City, when the kingdom's hard-managed engineering team arrived, they found that they were lacking in labor. You must know that the engineering team in the Western Continent is mostly composed of craftsmen who are good at civil engineering, and there are no laborers in charge of low-end work themselves - because those coolies who do not need any skills in the Western Continent can be requisitioned on the spot.

So when Britton started the work, they were always plagued by a shortage of labor. Therefore, the appearance of those displaced people is really a timely rain for the officers and soldiers here! Unlike other cities that don't need low-end labor, Britton City still has a big gap in this area. In addition, the local guild of the trade also became a real existence in the 'Great Escape', so there is no need to worry about them looking for trouble. Therefore, the governors of Britton City are still very interested in collecting these cheap labor.

In fact, if Britton City hadn't been afraid of being found out by Lucia, and blocked its own news quite well, a team of displaced people who heard the news would have spontaneously come to the door. Where is it the turn to get these guys who are following behind the fugitive procession.

The succession of good news not only made the guards at the city gate red-faced, but also the middle-level officers who came later also smiled. The fugitive aristocratic representative of Camplin City was immediately led in by the other party, and it seemed that he had gone to meet and negotiate with the higher-ups of Britton City.

Thanks to this good relationship between the two sides, the remaining fugitives from Camplin City were quickly welcomed in by specially arranged reception staff. Comparatively, the Boreham Rangers, who had previously risen to prominence in the battle with the Kingdom of Lucia, were not so courteous. Regardless of whether the two sides are now in the same trench or not, in the eyes of the Lucians, the Norhan people are outsiders after all.

This gap cannot be solved by relying on a common enemy. What's more, the high-level leaders of the Cruze Kingdom are not stupid, although there is no clear evidence, they also keenly feel that the attitude of the Norhan Kingdom this time is completely different from 200 years ago.

Although the Cruze executives who guessed what was going on did not dare to openly disclose that concern for fear of demoralization. But their daily performance, words and deeds also made the lowly soldiers see some clues. There is still a big difference between allies who are improvised and close allies who are brought together to counter a common goal. So their attitude naturally can't be too good.

However, before completely tearing the skin, the two sides still have to maintain a semblance of friendship after all. What's more, those high-end combat forces in the Boleam Ranger Regiment are not something that those guards can offend. So they just did a routine inspection lukewarmly, and they didn't let it go too hard.

―――――― make up tomorrow――――――

The new team was looking around in Morbihan Harbor for news and preparing to go further to Poitu to do further research as the analysis material for their next decision. However, this method of probing is almost blatant but does not reveal hostility, and it goes too deep.

It may not have much effect elsewhere, but by the time they reach Boreham, they are already on the roster of a handful of spies in the vigilantes. However, at present, those few people have not touched the red line, so they are only treated as a commercial investigation, at most, to let the intelligence officers pay much attention. Not to mention being arrested, it is not even close to monitoring, let alone presented to the front of Georgie, the acting lord.

At this time, Georgie was practicing one of his most troublesome projects. He is now wearing a monolithic full-body armor as smooth as a mirror, running on the martial arts arena. The cold oak-clad iron tower shield like the door panel waved in his hand, and by the way, he scraped "Whew!" Call! Whew!" Gale winds. After a turn, a shield strike came, and the result was undoubted—after a muffled sound, the pre-prepared target bounced out of the arena like a rolling gourd.

"Bang! Bang! With two sounds, Hillen, who was standing aside, hurriedly made a move, and was able to intercept these two solid wooden targets that seemed to be cannonballs. Otherwise, if you accidentally fly outside the martial arts arena, you will inevitably cause a solid wood tragedy.

It is precisely because of Helen's big brother Gui by his side that Qiao Ji can do what he is now, unscrupulously conducting the drills he wants in the martial arts arena.

If this is replaced by the heavy infantry in the middle of the battlefield, the first row of the opponent is close to Georgie. Like a bowling ball being thrown, it will crash into the team behind it and throw up a mess of your formation.

Past facts have proven that such an attack is extremely effective against the spear phalanx of light infantry. Unfortunately, most of the time knights who fight on horses often don't use this skill.

The tower shield he used just now was a heavy shield as tall as a human. It's like a portable wall that provides shelter, completely shielding all frontal attacks. In front of this solid "moving wall", whether it is a long hook knife or a spear halberd, it has become an insignificant branch.

Perhaps a plurality of branches can withstand this steel chariot, but in a head-to-head battle, the area is often faced with only a few long weapons, and the possibility of holding back the opponent is almost zero.

Then Qiao Ji, who ran on the martial arts arena, was as indestructible and unstoppable as a steel golem! With heavy and steady steps, he charged forward. On the battlefield, it will be like a main battle tank, easily tearing through the enemy's defense line and gaining space and time for his companions to break through. (To be continued.) )
