Chapter 25: Hidden Worries

It wasn't until the middle of the day that Barrett really woke up. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Climbed out of his sleeping bag and stretched, and after a hasty lunch, he went straight to the camp where the Earl of Boreham was. As a regular visitor here, he was allowed to pass only a basic check.

After entering the camp, Barrett saw the Earl of Boreham at first sight, and his heartfelt smile was there. At this moment, he was holding a tea cup in his hand, and then looked at Barrett and said, "I was thinking just now that Barrett, you kid should also arrive." ”

"Just by looking at your expression, I know that you are in a good mood right now, Lord Count. Then our results last night are definitely worth the effort. Barrett stooped and saluted, and immediately began to speak.

The Earl of Boreham shook his head lightly with a smile, and then even his words became frivolous: "Barrett, your boy's imagination is too narrow. Just being worthy of the effort, how can it be possible for me to 'show' such a smile. ”

"Do you mean to say that our attack that night caused great damage to the 'Lu' people?" Although Barrett already had this idea in his heart, he will inevitably have a faster heartbeat after being confirmed.

The Earl of Boreham nodded this time without hesitation: "Yes! Your attack last night and last night was really a slap in the face to those 'Lusia barbarians'. The 'elite' that they are proud of may not be able to compete with us in a short period of time. ”

"But I don't think it's going to be too long! When their grain, grass and oil arrive, the impact should be minimized. "If Barrett was most impressed by last night's battle, it was the pillar of fire and the final explosion.

Although the charging and killing of several knights and the resulting 'chaos' and 'chaos' will definitely cause the soldiers in the 'Lu' West Asia camp to suffer certain losses. However, there is no premise of focusing on killing the opponent's living forces, so Barrett is not optimistic about the loss of human resources on the 'Lu' side of the West Asia.

Earl Boram shook his head with a smile: "Don't underestimate your performance, judging from the situation of today's investigation, those 'Lu' people themselves killed their heads last night." The original officers and soldiers have been completely 'excited', and now those noble officers have no time to suppress the soldiers, and now they have no time to deal with us. “

The antagonism between the officers and soldiers in the kingdom of 'Lu' has always been serious, and the more 'elite' the troops, the more strict the rank. The greater the number of nobles, the more oppressive the civilian soldiers became. Originally, it had relied on the traditional authority of the past and the harsh laws in the military to maintain relative stability.

But last night's roar completely smashed these two shackles, releasing the fierce tiger hidden in the hearts of those civilian soldiers. And after last night's fighting, the impression of authority of those aristocratic officers in their hearts began to collapse rapidly. If they have the opportunity to do so, they will probably not give up the possibility of resisting oppression.

Even the somewhat knowledgeable Norhan people could see this kind of thing clearly after reconnaissance, how could these 'Lu' Xia aristocratic officers who had been operating with the army for a long time not understand? At such times they had to devote more of their forces to controlling their subordinates, not to mention not much to stop Norhan's army. Therefore, even if the destroyed grain and grass are replenished, it will not be able to restore its combat effectiveness immediately in a short time.

"It seems that the contradictions between the officers and soldiers on the 'Lu' side of West Asia have not changed much in more than 200 years! Their last failure was somewhat affected by this, but they didn't expect that they would not learn their lesson at all. "Barrett found it difficult to understand the way of thinking of the 'Lu' people.

Hearing this, the Earl of Boram put down the teacup in his hand: "There are many unrepentant people, and they are not worse than their batch." Besides, as long as they don't encounter a big war, they use this way to squeeze the low-level soldiers, but they are full of 'fat', and they are naturally unwilling to change. When the war begins, there will be little time for even if you want to change. ”

"Huh! Those guys who drink the blood of soldiers will only give people enough warning if they are all dead! Barrett, who said this, expressed absolute contempt for the actions of the 'Lu' people, "In this way, we should be able to move freely in the next period of time!" ”

"Not necessarily. The king may not have taken advantage of this opportunity to completely devour the 'Lu' West Asian army in front of him. The Earl of Boreham was now dead, and his expression was no longer smiling.

"Take advantage of this opportunity to eat?" Barrett, who raised his voice, also frowned. Although the officers and men of the 'Lu' West Asian army are now separated, and they are seriously wary and antagonistic with each other. But their size is still there after all. In addition, if the army is dispatched, it is too difficult to conceal, and it is impossible to make a surprise attack. When the time comes, it will inevitably be another bitter battle, and the loss will be smaller than eating the other party at the beginning, but it will also make people feel distressed.

Seeing Barrett's expression, Earl Boreham smiled: "Don't worry, we haven't decided what the final plan will be yet." It's a pity that our Boreham family is no longer as trusted by the royal family as it was back then. Otherwise, you might be able to lobby for it. Now I'm afraid I can only blame the sidelines and wait for the final result. ”

Even in the intimate relationship, it can't stop the destruction of time and the entanglement of interests, and now the Boreham family has formed a line with other enemy powerful factions, all trying to prevent the Nohan royal family from reaching out to their own interests, and the relationship between the two sides is naturally not much better.

"After all this time, why haven't I seen Lord Lord? Isn't he with you? Barrett, knowing that he was not fit to discuss the topic in further depth, immediately tried to deflect it.

Hearing this, the Earl of Boreham glared at Barrett angrily, as if complaining that he 'can't open a pot and mention a pot': "That boy in my family is not a peaceful master, and now it should be the boy of the Marking family wandering around in the camp!" I've asked Knight Bart to watch him, and I don't think anything will happen. ”

"It's good for young people to be lively! If you are a little more energetic, you may be able to help you with your future promotion! Hearing this, Barrett tried to play a round.

Although the Earl of Boreham has shown great trust in himself at the moment, he still feels that it is better not to say anything that could easily lead people to misunderstand when it comes to the topic of the heir. Even if you don't offend the earls of this generation, if the next generation of earls is a careful eye, it will be a big trouble!

Count Boreham shook his head: "Promotion? Our Boreham family's promotion has always been a calm and rational line. I don't think I have any hope of becoming a knight in this life. Find a wife to give me a grandchild, and while I still have the 'fine' strength, it is important to make sure that the next generation does not grow crooked like him. ”

"Earl, are you talking a little too much, Lord Earl?" Barrett carefully organized his words, "As far as I know, there is far more than one knightly route in our family, and although the path you mentioned is the most popular, the other directions are not without success!" Wouldn't it be better for Your Lord to find someone who is compatible with you, since you can't lead him to the path you want? ”

Hearing this, the Earl of Boreham did not speak directly, although Barrett was not telling the information he would normally have. But it is not surprising that someone who has made a pact with an ancestor in the eyes of the Earl of Boram would know such a secret.

"That's right. But since it is not the route chosen by most people, it means that it is not the most compatible with our family's bloodline. At the same time, there is a record of less accumulation and lack of sufficient experience and problem solving. This is very detrimental to the practice and growth of knights. Although the Boreham Cavaliers did not say anything to death, they are still not optimistic about their son's current performance.

However, for Barrett, the current attitude of the Earl of Boreham is a sign of a softening stance: "How do you know if you don't give it a try? ”

Make it up tomorrow

The bows and crossbows they use have been calibrated in advance, and the trajectory of the arrows is exactly the same as that of the arrows 'shot' by Amagir, which means that they can have dozens of archers at once without much training.

Unfortunately, this trick can only be used when there are few people and you stand very closely. Once there are many people and the stations are more scattered, the angle of 'shooting' is definitely different.

With the first 'wave' of arrows flying out. Amagir raised the bow in his hand again, and his other hand plucked the bowstring as quickly as if it were a string.

The few archers in the group could barely keep up with him, but the crossbowmen had to bend over one by one, laboriously winding the crossbows. Because the number of divine 'marksmen' in the territory was originally not large, except for a small number of mercenaries, the rest were taken away by Georgie because of this plan of action.

But at this moment, the demon 'archer' Amagil brazenly pulled his bow and launched a round of airtight and breathless rain of arrows. This has a considerable ability to damage both the shoulders and arms. So that he alone can support the striking ability of a team.

Coupled with the soldiers' 'shooting' attacks, this series of arrows was like fine raindrops, 'shooting' towards the green dragon in the 'fog'. In this rain of arrows, there was also a 'wave' of dense arrow arrays, and the more than forty crossbows were 'fired' at the same time, which was definitely not small.

When the green dragon Kodman flew out of the range of the target curse, it was a mess! It was full of large and small arrows. Although it didn't cause much serious injury, the holes in its wings also affected its agility in flight.

Just as the green dragon Kodman was about to jump over the human wall in front of him and take revenge on the 'shooters' hiding behind. A visceral and soulful fear spread throughout his body. This feeling had only been encountered before when he was younger, during his sea travels. That time it was hit by a hurricane, and it could be said that it was dead in the fight against the power of nature.

This ability to foresee danger has saved him more than once in his millennia of life. But since that disaster, it hasn't been so strong. At this time, although he didn't know what the reason was, he had already made up his mind not to stay in this dangerous place.

Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, the green dragon Kodman turned around and flew out of the city, in his opinion, whether it was a mission or anything else, it was far less important than his own life. It flailed its wings desperately, and at the same time activated its innate ability of the wind subspecies to ride the wind. Flee to the north from this ominous place that he felt shiver in.

But not long after he flew out of Poitu on his front foot, he heard the heart-rending screams of the black dragon Crane. Judging from that voice, even if it wasn't for a short time, it was still a heavy blow that was difficult to recover from in a short period of time.

Because Kodman, who is flying in the air, is in such a plain and hilly area, he does not need to worry about obstacles in front of him. It hurried forward as usual, twisting its head to see what was going on behind it.

The original majestic black dragon Klein is now like a little girl who has fallen into the hands of a strong man. He immediately gave up flying in the air, and instead 'messed around' around the city of Poitou. It is hoped that with various artificial structures, it will create a little obstacle for the light group chasing behind it.

The large swarm of locusts that roared at the call of the corresponding "blight swarm" seemed to be incinerated by the golden flames that burned outside, before they could reach the inside of the light.

The sour mist breath was no better than the swarm. And when it reflexively 'hand-to-hand' combat, its own proud claws are not able to compete with the opponent's dry, realistic conceptual armament.

Soon, the dragon, which was older than the entire Duchy of Nohan, fell in the city of Poitou. The Vaal Knight, who had solved a major disaster, turned his target to the green dragon Caldeman, who had already left first, in the spirit of 'spirit' who should be brave enough to chase after the poor.

After the two of them chased and fled all the way, they finally saw the scene that Georgie and his group saw when they returned.

"This is really ......" After hearing the Val Knight's words, Georgie was only halfway through his words and was a little unable to continue.

This can really be said to be a house leak that happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind! There were strong enemies outside, although this faced the whole group of the Principality of Nohan; But Boreham Collar is unlikely to be out of the way. It is even more likely that because of his wealth and previous experience, he will become a typical example of the other party killing a 'chicken' and a monkey.

It can be said that in Georgie's view, the Boreham Territory and the 'Lu' West Kingdom are now in a state of almost immortality. Once the Duchy of Norhan is defeated and annexed, it will be a big question whether the Bolim family can succeed even if they want to go into exile!
