"It seems that you are not satisfied with the effect of 'Broken Peak'!" The Earl of Boreham looked at Barrett with a smirk. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Hearing this, Barrett shook his head repeatedly: "How is it possible? I am very satisfied to receive such a reward. Except for the newly acquired 'Temperature Barrier', the abilities previously acquired are all very useful. Even this can't be said to be useless, it's just a bit of a chicken rib. ”

"It's always a good thing to increase your chances of survival, and being alive is more important than anything else." The Earl of Boreham said, clasping his palms.

Although he knew that he could obtain the 'Broken Peak', he was already lucky. But now he still couldn't help but complain: "It's important to increase your chances of survival, but with my current ability, this improvement is too small." ”

"Don't worry! Since it is called 'Broken Peak', the strength of this little guy is definitely biased towards attack. You just have to keep improving yourself. to be able to dig out its true combat effect. The Earl of Boreham, who stood up, reminded him.

Although it sounds a bit like a pretext for salespeople when it comes to after-sales service. But Barrett, who knew the characteristics of the 'Ancient Weapon', knew that the Lord Earl in front of him was mostly telling the truth. At the very least, if you continue to improve your strength, you will be able to dig out the real combat effect of 'Broken Peak'. As for the bias of the effect, it is still somewhat doubtful.

"The battlefield is the most suitable place for me to improve my strength. Looks like I should be in the first place to go to the Cruze Kingdom. It was the wrong choice to let those companions go first. Barrett said with a little annoyance.

In the face of Barrett's disguised initiative, the Earl of Boreham was still quite satisfied. He walked around the coffee table and patted Barrett on the shoulder: "Don't worry! You're going to be busy. The friction between us and Norhan is not going to end anytime soon. ”

"So after this contest is over, what fate awaits the Cruze Kingdom?" I don't know what's going on, but this question popped out of Barrett's mouth.

This time it was the Earl's turn to fall silent, and after a long silence in the room the room spoke up, "This is not something you should know, and you should not ask any questions from now on." I can only say that the outcome of the Cruze Kingdom depends on the attitude of the Cruze. It won't do you any good to know too much about the rest. ”

"Understood, Lord Earl, I will be tight-lipped about what I have just heard." Barrett, who beat his chest with his hands, said solemnly.

In fact, the information provided by the Earl of Boreham was enough for Barrett to combine his own analysis to get a glimpse of the plans of the Norhan Kingdom. Although it is impossible to fit exactly in the details, it is still possible to figure out the general direction.

The fate of the Cruze kingdom is decided by the Cruze, which is by no means an empty phrase on the part of Norhan - but it also shows that the fate of the Cruze kingdom is not entirely decided by the Cruze. Both the official invasion of the Kingdom of Lucia and the Kingdom of Norhan, under the banner of helping allies, had a crucial impact on the final outcome.

If the Cruzeites showed sufficient combat power and tenacious will to fight. So whether it is for the sake of maintaining its own image or sharing the pressure of the battle, the Norhan Kingdom will not be willing to lose the Cruze Kingdom, an ally that can still help.

But even so, after driving out the Lucians, the Kingdom of Norhan will inevitably make the Kingdom of Cruze pay a large amount of relief funds. And the Cruze, which had just experienced a catastrophe, would definitely not be able to scrape together enough money. At that time, it is inevitable to use land and cities to make payments.

Although this kind of expansion can be regarded as taking advantage of the fire, it is less notorious. It can be regarded as a suitable choice for some people who want face. Although the Cruze Kingdom will lose some of the northern land, it will still be able to retain the basic dignity of a kingdom after all.

However, if the Cruzes were not able to make a big impact on the outcome of the battle in the rest of the battle. Then the kingdom of Norhan will not be polite to this former ally. After all, the existence of an ally must be determined by its value, and if there is no even the most basic use value, then the alliance will be meaningless.

When the time comes, the kingdom of Norhan will not mind showing its fangs, and after driving away the Lucians, it will ruthlessly demand a piece of meat from the Cruze kingdom. At that time, Cruz may not be able to maintain the king's title, and may even fall into a situation of internal division, completely turning into a group of war-fighting princes.

Although after doing such a thing, the reputation of the Norhan Kingdom will definitely be greatly affected. But compared to the benefits of eating it, it's worth carrying some infamy. Not to mention that time will dilute everything, and in a few decades, not many people in the Western Continent will remember that infamy, and the rule of the Swallowed Territory will be greatly consolidated.

Of course, this is all under the premise of defeating the Kingdom of Lucia, if you don't get a big advantage on the battlefield, then it's all over.

The Earl of Boreham, who felt that Barrett had heard something from those words, did not say anything more after a special instruction. Because he understands that Barrett knows what he can and can't do. Then he only emphasized: "In three days you will go on the road with the cavalry regiment led by the Knight Bapti!" In terms of mounts, the family won't have a new one for you, and the previous 'Phantom Pony Reins' are enough for your level. After I leave, then I'll get one! ”

"Thank you, Lord Earl, for your kindness." Barrett, who said this, bent down sincerely and saluted. Although it was only a temporary loan, the Earl of Boreham could have prepared an ordinary war horse for Barrett. But he still chose to lend the 'Phantom Pony Reins', which can be regarded as more or less a support for Barrett. You should know that it is different from the previous unified configuration. This time it was for Barrett alone.

You must know that compared to ordinary war horses, the price of the 'Phantom Pony Reins' is much higher. In fact, ten well-trained heavy horses can't match the price of a 'Phantom Pony Reins'. And with it, Barrett can even walk on the ground in the swampy hills, and his mobility is greatly improved - although Barrett can fly himself, it requires a lot of physical strength, not to mention that it requires a lot of physical strength, and his speed is much slower than that of the Phantom Pony.

Three days later, Barrett officially joined the Ranger Cavalry led by the Knight Bapti in the square in front of the town hall. This team is the advance team sent by Boram to test the waters of the Cruze Kingdom, and they will test the strength of the Lucians in the form of a regular army, and provide a reference for the next large-scale operation - after all, the combat method of the elite detachment behind enemy lines is completely different from that of the regular army, and the comparison between the two is really quite different.

Although Barrett has always been outside of the military system led by Boreham, as a member of the Boreham family, he must have his own military status. And as Barrett's strength increased, so did his rank. After entering the black lead, in terms of military rank alone, he is even enough to lead a phalanx to fight independently.

However, because Barrett himself has no experience in commanding troops, he cannot prove his ability to take charge alone. So now it is impossible to obtain the power to lead troops on their own - this is similar to the division of XX-level officials and the treatment of XX-level personnel.

"How? Still used to it? The Bapti knight, who rode to Barrett's side, asked pointedly.

Turning his head to sweep the gaze of the soldiers towards him, Barrett immediately chuckled: "In the snow east of the Cruz, there were no fewer Lucia soldiers staring at me than shocking. I don't even care about the look that wants to eat me, let alone these. ”

The xenophobia of the military is very strong, and for airborne personnel like Barrett, who usually do not show up, even if they know that the other party is extremely strong, they will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts - of course, as long as they have experienced one or two battles together, that kind of estrangement and rescue will be replaced by the feeling of robes.

"You did really well. However, the interspersed with less than ten people is completely different from the current battle of one hundred and eighty people. You can't rely solely on the experience of that time, and you have to pay attention to the unity and coordination of the battles around you. After all, wars are not something you can win alone. Knight Bapti specially reminded at this time.

Barrett immediately straightened his waist and gave the other party a reassurance: "Don't worry! I went with this one to learn more. When the time comes, I'll shoot wherever you point. ”

Immediately after the pre-battle speech of the Earl of Boram, the procession of horses and flags marched towards the outside of Poitoucheng. In the process, residents on both sides of the road kept cheering and waving at them. These people look forward to the triumphant return of their armies and use the dividends of war to further improve their lives.

When the rangers had left Poitou, the riders threw up the reins and galloped. On this specially built clay pavement, it is heading at high speed in the direction of the Kingdom of Cruze. The dust soon covered the road, making it possible to see the billowing yellow smoke from afar.

Unfortunately, although the horses are not slow, they are limited in the amount of time they can move forward at high speeds each day. Boram is still a short distance from the border of the Cruze Kingdom, and the Rangers, who are all flesh and blood under their crotches, must control their horsepower so that they don't become weak if they want to accelerate during the battle.

Therefore, even with a large amount of concentrate to feed, in order to prevent the horses from losing weight, the speed of this cavalry was not as fast as when it first left Poitou. The daily journey has also been greatly affected by this, although it is still much faster than the slow caravan, but after all, it cannot be compared with the real fast horse.

So much so that by the time Barrett arrived in the territory of the Cruze Kingdom with the army, Rielly and the others, who were on an escort mission, had been blocked by the army of the Kingdom of Lucia along with the caravan.

"Damn! Shouldn't this still be the rear? How could you meet the soldiers on Lucia's side. After seeing the procession on the roof of the caravan, the halfling wanderer still did not start to complain. But that didn't stop him from picking up his crossbow and moving himself into the shadows.

At this time, Rierri was also hiding behind the caravan and was ready to cast a spell. The leader of the caravan brandished his scimitar and shouted, "Don't be afraid of the damned Lucia barbarians, you see their formations like cowardly goblins." ”

Although the formation of these Lucia troops in front of him was indeed a little loose. But it's not so bad that it can be compared to the timid and undisciplined goblins. Even if there were waves in the ranks from time to time, the formation was a little distorted, and the pace of each soldier's march was not uniform. But if the West University can maintain a formation on the way forward, it can already be regarded as a pretty good level.

However, the consequences of the Lucia's lack of unity of pace and lack of command coordination were still evident at this time. From time to time, soldiers collided with each other, and the front ones were squeezed out or even pushed to the ground by the other comrades who had no time to brake behind. At the front of the army was as pitted as rat-eaten bread.

Fortunately, everyone on Lucia's side seems to have become accustomed to this situation, and they don't think there is anything wrong with it. This kind of performance also gave the guards in the caravan a little more confidence to resist. They took the opportunity to put the boxcar around the city, but unfortunately the defenders didn't have time to make further preparations after quickly lowering the baffle.

Suddenly, a flash of fire flashed from behind Lucia's army, and the sparks that flew out of the wilderness came over the convoy in the blink of an eye. But when many experienced escorts in the convoy rolled with their heads in their hands, the fireball silently disappeared in mid-air.

Having completed the countermeasures, Rielly let out a sigh of relief, and then pulled out a scroll that still radiated a magical aura with a stroke from the opening of the scroll box. Her favorite fireball tactic in the past was preemptively used by the Lucia this time. And now that Rieli has more comrades around her, it is more important to protect herself than to fight the enemy.

Thankfully, Rielly wasn't the only spellcaster in the escort team. Another warlock who accompanied the group also launched an attack on the approaching Lucian army. It's a pity that the lightning shot by the other side also disappeared without a trace at the moment of approaching the enemy - it seems that the other party has also prepared countermeasures.
