"Has the situation gotten to this extent?" Barrett looked at everything in front of him with a pale face. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Because of the war, the fields that should have been ploughed and sown with seeds are still the same as they were during the winter - the only change is that the abandoned weeds have taken up the space that should have been growing. Although this pastoral field that has missed the agricultural season may not be harvested for many years, it can be regarded as a complete goodbye to the staple food.

Apparently, the war between the kingdoms of Lucia and Cruze has seriously affected the agricultural soundstage in Cruze. Even if the farmers in this land have seeds from other seasons, they can resist according to the current situation, and the continuous mobilization of manpower and material resources makes it difficult for them to carry out agricultural production.

Of course, Barrett also knows that even if they all miss the agricultural time, these weedy fields will not be without income. Nearby residents themselves graze their livestock on fallow fields, but the meat output of those cattle and sheep is a drop in the bucket compared to the shortages caused by reduced grain production.

With a bitter face, he muttered in a low voice at this time: "I hope the situation in the Lucia Kingdom is more serious than this." ”

While the effects of war could not have been felt on one side alone, Barrett knew that his expectations were wishful thinking. After all, until now, the flames of war have mainly burned in the lands of the Cruze Kingdom. Although there is no singing and dancing in the kingdom of Lucia, at least there is not much big news - not much does not mean that there is no at all, just like Barrett and the Knight of Ovaltine their actions a few days ago can definitely be called big news.

Unfortunately, these big news often take place in the big cities of the Kingdom of Lucia. Although it has a lot of influence among the people, it even caused the king of the Anlyuko family to scold his courtiers. But the country estates, which were Lucia's main agricultural producers, were not affected, and if it weren't for the fact that too many strong men were drawn from the war, their lives would have been the same as they had been before the war.

What's more, although Lucia has a lot of beauties, after reaching middle age, she often becomes a 'dragoon' who can stand in her hands and run a horse on her arms. These 'dragoons' were no less than the men in their families in the field - and even if there would be a shortage in labour, there would be no irreparable shortfall.

Therefore, wanting to let the Lucia Kingdom be abandoned on a large scale like the manor in front of him is really a thing that even Barrett himself finds unrealistic. But once only the Cruze Kingdom unilaterally suffers a food crisis, then the strength gap between it and the Lucia Kingdom will widen. This is by no means good news for the kingdom of Norhan, which intends to fight on fire.

The Bapti knight on the side obviously heard the reason for Barrett's concern, and rode to Barrett's side on his mount to explain: "This kind of thing shouldn't be up to us. As the blade of the lord, we only need to take care of what we need to focus on. As the sharpest weapon of all, cut through all obstacles in your path for your lord. The rest of the matter is naturally handled by civil officials. ”

"Mr. Bapty, you're too irresponsible, aren't you?" Barrett couldn't help but turn around and complain.

Regarding Barrett's protest, the Bapti knight didn't care at all: "You people just think too much, so you can't become a knight." It's still people like me who only focus on one thing that it's easy to cross that barrier. ”

'I can't be a knight, but it doesn't have to do with thinking too much. It's completely forbidden by the god of the system! Besides, weren't the Bapti family famous for being a commanding knight in the first place? How come this generation has such a barbarian, your ancestors will definitely cry when they know about it. Although he kept slandering the Bapti knight in his heart, Barrett did not have the courage to say these words. Otherwise, the Bapti knight will definitely beat Barrett with a blue nose and swollen face under the pretext of training position.

On the rest of his journey, Barrett sees more and more abandoned estates. Some of these estates are still in the same way as when their owners left, while others have been reduced to ruins in the fire. Although it is not known whether the flame was accidental or organized looting, the damage to future reproduction is very powerful.

Along the way, Barrett's mood became more and more uneasy. And it's not just because things are already in a bad state in the Cruze Kingdom. It's also because he shared information with a few of his companions offline - and learned about the difficult situation of the remaining players.

Although the Bloodstained Gray Flower had successfully survived the previous battle, their losses were also very heavy - although most of their injuries had been healed by divine healing, the large number of weapons and equipment scrapped and the consumption of scroll potions had seriously affected their combat effectiveness.

Judging from the player's thoughts, under such a poor state, they naturally plan to retreat first and find a way later. But the Aborigines in charge of the escort want to move on. After all, the location of the attack was not far from their final destination, and they planned to take a gamble.

It is worth celebrating that the last bit of the journey is ahead, and the escort team is not suffering a second ambush. Unfortunately, when they entered the intended place, the small city was surrounded by a large army of Lucians - I don't know if this was a coincidence or if the Lucian did it on purpose.

The members of the 'Bloodstained Grey Flower' who had just encountered a field battle were faced with a dangerous siege battle. The only good news is that the city's preparations are good, and the players who have suffered heavy losses have received some supplies after participating in the defense of the city - at least the anvil armor is ready for use after tinkering.

However, after the siege, how long the small town called Camplin can last, and the players trapped in it have no bottom at all. Although the siege and street fighting were difficult tests for the attacking side, compared to the increasing number of Lucia soldiers and siege engines outside the city. The city's modest walls and apparently poorly trained soldiers were hardly reassuring.

Although the Cruze Kingdom's consistently lax armaments have been strengthened since the start of the war, the gap between the Kingdom of Cruze and the Kingdom of Lucia will not be able to catch up with it anytime soon. However, during this period of time, the grinding of guns was not completely fruitless, at least the shortfall of the original empty salary was filled. Moreover, after the military pay and supplies were sufficient, the morale of those soldiers was guaranteed to a certain extent, and they would not be unable to understand the orders.

Relying on these soldiers who felt that the players were not reliable at all, the city of Camplin in front of him blocked several attacks by Lucia's forward troops. Not to be beaten down by a group of cavalry, as is the case in some settlements that lack force, and even wait for the arms to be procured from Boreham. However, in the face of the well-prepared siege force outside the city, the previous total victory was now a joke.

Informed of the information, Barrett racked his brains, but could not find a good solution to the crisis of his companions - unless he could exert some influence on the Ranger regiment to restrain the Lucian siege.

But this restriction is very limited, and at most it can only be blamed for delaying the date of the breach of Camplin by a few days. Unless the Cruze Kingdom is able to organize a rescue force during this time, the fall of Camprin City is a foregone conclusion.

But even if there were great difficulties, Barrett could not let his companions be in danger and not act on his own. After a few days of waiting, he finally found an opportunity to discuss the topic with Knight Bapti: "Mr. Bapty, I have always wondered if we have any specific plan of action for coming to the Kingdom of Cruze this time?" ”

"Action plan? This kind of thing has its place, but it depends more on your own response. Then the knight of Bapti began to babble as if he had opened a conversation: "That kind of text on paper can only be used as a reference at best. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is only one way to die with that thing......"

It sounded like a cliché, but Barrett resisted the urge to interrupt and finished listening. Then he followed the other party's words and asked, "In other words, our purpose this time is to disrupt the Lucians' actions as much as possible and delay the momentum of their attack." Are you ready for the next phase of full-scale war? ”

"Of course, we have to probe the bottom of those Lucian armies and find out their weak links." Knight Bapti was not at all averse to his work. In Barrett's eyes, he showed some excitement and judgment.

Hearing this, Barrett felt that his plan was finally a little certain. He immediately asked, "Then if Lucia's army is attacking the city, will we cause them great losses if we intervene sideways?" ”

"Raid while the Lucians are attacking the city." The Bapti knight, who was saying this, frowned and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he stared at Barrett and asked, "Do you have any ideas?" ”

"It's not an idea. It's just that my former teammates and the Boreham caravan with which I delivered are now trapped in a small town besieged by the Lucians. If they don't go to the rescue, I don't know how long they will be able to hold out. Barrett didn't hide the truth.

After all, as long as this kind of problem is investigated afterwards, the truth will be found immediately. Instead of leaving a pimple in someone else's heart at that time, it is better to make it clear now. After all, it's almost the same to make trouble for the Lucians anywhere, but the Boreham caravan is completely its own people, and if possible, they will naturally try their best to save it.

"They took over the escort task arranged by the territory?" Although he was really worried about the safety of the caravan, Bapti Knight still considered Barrett's emotions when he spoke, and asked about the situation of his teammates.

Barrett, who knew that the other party was a kind word, did not break it: "Yes! A batch of munitions sold by the Chamber of Commerce. Because we were worried that something would go wrong, we strengthened our defense capabilities. As a result, they are all trapped in it now. ”

Doing business in a war-torn area is itself a very risky activity. In addition to having a strong background, the defense of the caravan itself is also a top priority - the former can only avoid being hacked by buyers, and the latter is the key to solving the troubles along the way.

However, even with perfect preparation, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents. For example, this time it was blocked in the city by the army of the other side. However, considering that Boreham is about to go straight to the field, this can only be said to have advanced the conflict a little.

"What's the name of that city you're talking about?" The Bapti knight understood that since Barrett was able to say this, it should be clear and more specific. In this world of supernatural abilities, it's not surprising that friends have a special way of connecting with each other.

Barrett, who was carrying his companion's words from memory, pulled out a commercial map from his waist and looked at it: "It's a small town called Camplain, about 80 miles southeast of us. ”

"That's not too far, we can take a look around first." The Bapti knight touched his chin and paused, "But whether to do it or not depends on the specific situation." Let's hope we can get all the people in the territory out! ”

Judging from the tone of the Bapti Knight, Barrett could tell that he was not sure if he would be able to rescue the team that belonged to Bolim. After all, there must be Lucia's elite among the troops participating in the siege, and it is impossible for this kind of operation to be carried out without knights. Judging from the number of troops needed in the lower city, Barrett's 200 people may not be able to make any waves when they join the battle.

But regardless of whether this rescue can be successful or not, you still decide to go and see the situation first before making further decisions. The Ranger regiment, which had plenty of food and grass, began to pick up speed. Although the distance of 80 miles is not a short time, even for the sake of precaution and physical strength, the whole journey is only a little more than 2 days.

On the morning of the third day, the rangers ahead suddenly stopped. When he turned around, he immediately pointed to the northeast sky. In the gray-blue-gray-blue background, a small black dot was hovering.

"Harrier Eagle? It seems that it is not easy to go straight over! Barrett, with his head up, already had some premonitions in his heart.

The experienced knight Bapti immediately decided: "Let's go to the southeast, let's go around to the back." The warning distance of this harrier eagle is also limited, and it is difficult to control its owner if it is a little farther away. (To be continued.) )
