Barrett, who had left the forest, finally saw the stars hanging from the dome. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but he knew that it was not time to relax, although there was no noise in the bushes behind him, but there was no guarantee that there were no pursuers there.

In the darkness, Barrett's pupils began to adjust, and the boundaries of things that had been blurred gradually became clear. Under the starlight, the swarthy mountains, the gloomy dense forest, and the dark shadows are full of darkness as far as the eye can see. Fortunately, the distant field had a little comfort in the soul through the halo cast from the walls of Ulrika.

After determining the direction, he stretched out his hand to his waist the next time, but the portable kettle that was supposed to be there was gone: "When did it fall?" ”

Then he patted his forehead: "When was the last time I drank water?" I hope my dimensional bag is not touched by others. ”

After a long period of high-intensity jungle warfare, Barrett's image is indeed quite embarrassing. The armor was painted colorful, and the armed belt hanging on the body had already been missing.

"It's still there." Barrett, who took out the dimensional bag from under his armor, stretched his hand inside, and then took out a dirty-looking water glass: "Fill it!" ”

A moment later, white foam poured out of the otherwise empty cup, and Barrett's spirits were lifted by the slightly brown liquid and unfiltered wheat dregs across Barrett's tongue.

After relieving his physiological needs, Barrett took a step in the direction where Ulrika was. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the hazy night.

As the saying goes, Lookout Mountain runs away from a dead horse, don't look at Ulrika is already in Barrett's sight. But even at his speed, it took him a lot of time to get there. It wasn't until the dawn broke through the darkness that he finally needed to look up at the city gate in his eyes.

In the early morning, Ulrika still left traces of war, and the city wall that was mottled by the lemon dye on the twilight map was concealed, but the smoky black and the female wall that was smashed one by one were still eye-catching.

Fortunately, the most important gate had been repaired by the craftsmen who had come with the army, but the patches on the wooden planks and the iron bars on the gates still looked unsightly. However, this does not affect their basic function.

"The one below, report the name." Not long after Barrett stood under the gate, there was a voice from the gatehouse. A guard in a tin hat was poking his head out from behind the battlements to look at him.

Barrett, who took off his helmet after tidying up, shouted, "I'm Barrett from the Boreham family, and I've just returned from a cleaning mission. ”

The guards who heard this immediately retracted back to the battlements, and then stretched out their heads again for a while: "Maybe, maybe, sir, please stay outside for a while." It's not time yet, and we don't have the right to open the gates in advance. ”

"It's okay! I'll just be outside in the sun. Barrett waved his hand indifferently. Because he knew that the person on the city tower still didn't dare to say something, and the other party didn't dare to confirm the authenticity of Barrett's identity. can only choose such a delaying strategy.

However, in wartime, when the alarm of threats has not been lifted, it is impossible to be too careful. Barrett would naturally be considerate of the plight of the two big-headed soldiers, even if he hoped to wash off the filth on his body sooner and get a good night's sleep - he wouldn't trouble them upstairs.

As the sun climbed into the clouds, there was a cacophony behind the walls. Barrett also knew that the time to go into town was coming. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the huge iron gate to be slowly pulled up after a brief shock, and then the patched wooden door was slowly moved to both sides.

Also because of the war, the caravan that was supposed to be waiting behind the door did not show up at this moment. This small border town, which used to be frequented by caravans, is now unusually deserted. Barrett was left with only heavily armed guards.

But before Barrett could negotiate further, this voice came to his ears: "Sir, Lord Earl wants me to inform you, and report to him after the clean-up." ”

"Understood! I'll get there as soon as I can. Hearing this, Barrett could only suppress Meimei's desire to sleep indefinitely.

I don't know if it was due to the war, but none of the hotels in Ulrika had prepared hot water. As a last resort, Barrett could only clean up his personal hygiene with cold water, and then rushed to the city hall where Lord Bo was.

Although the war continues, the soldiers on both sides are still frantically tugging on the battle front. However, the nobles of Novartis have temporarily divided several war zones, which are under the responsibility of the royal family and a few leading local nobles.

According to Barrett's understanding, this would never have happened in the past - in a sense, although Novartis is still triumphant today, the internal divisions have not been bridged by successive victories.

Now Ulrika's current supreme governor is officially held by the Earl of Boreham, and it is clear that this result has been agreed upon by both parties.

As soon as he entered the door, the Earl of Boreham, who was sitting behind his desk, asked, "How is it this time?" Next, whether to repair for a while, fatigue combat is not good. ”

"After a few days of drilling into the woods, I did deal with a lot of Lucia barbarians. However, at most, only half of the loot can be retrieved in time. Speaking of this, Barrett shrugged helplessly, "Lord Earl, when will our reinforcements arrive?" Their numerical advantage is a bit big! ”

"The specific results, you can find someone to count them later! However, reinforcements will not come to us anytime soon, and the main battlefield ahead is even more short of people than ours. The Earl of Boreham smiled a little embarrassed.

Barrett, who knew that there was no drama in that regard, naturally cared about the battle situation: "So how is the situation at the front?" ”

"At the moment, we are still in the initiative." The Earl of Boreham pressed his thumb, "But the pace of progress has begun to slow down." The territory now occupied is somewhat insufficient in number, and the Lucians have sent a lot of guerrillas. ”

"Looks like I'm not going to rest. So as not to be understaffed when you get it. Barrett, who was aware of the situation, didn't want to make it difficult for the Earl of Boreham.

Hearing this, the Earl of Boreham smiled: "You can control this aspect yourself, and don't hold on when you feel tired." After all, this war will continue for some time. ”
