    "Fort Malcolm? I don't think it's a good idea for us to go to a big town now with our status Bah!" The halfling wanderer who was mid-sentence was suddenly bitten into the mouth by dead leaves floating towards him.  After trying hard to get it out, he added: "I don't think this is a good idea. ¡Ê¨J" After hearing this, Barrett turned around again: "Can't you go to Fort Malcolm? Where are the noodles?  Do you know some information that we don't know? " "Although I have been hiding in Tibet these days, I still learned something about the situation from the conversations with the locals." After saying this, Noodles immediately opened up.  He put his hand in front of his mouth to prevent stray leaves and other debris from falling into his mouth: "The Cruze royal family seems to be forcibly recruiting mercenaries and adventurers in the country. Therefore, there are many mercenaries and adventurers who are not prepared to participate in the Cruze civil war.  Adventurers will choose to avoid large and medium-sized towns controlled by the royal family to prevent them from being forced to stay. " "Looking at it this way, you can only find a small town or a marginal village that is not completely under the control of the government.  Inquiring about information?" Clematis frowned immediately after hearing this, "But isn't the Cruze royal family afraid of causing resistance from the mercenaries and adventurers who have fallen into this situation?  When the situation is unfavorable, they still adopt a coercive attitude towards third-party groups with powerless control. Are they really not worried about coming to the center to bloom? "The authority of the royal family comes from force and system, and it has influence over most intelligent creatures in the territory.  A certain amount of deterrence.  It's just that because of their special nature, the two groups, adventurers and mercenary groups, have always lacked awe for those in higher positions.  What's more, now that the war is raging, the royal family's force has been weakened, and the system has become fragmented.  Under such circumstances, if you choose money collection, you can still achieve good results, but if it is a violent rule, the resistance aroused will not be one or two cases.  So Clematis understands this situation.  Now it is really difficult to understand the actions of the Cruze royal family.  She even had such a question in her mind: 'Is it fate that must cause the Ackroyd family to lose the crown that has been passed down for a long time?  ¡¯ If that¡¯s the case, the neighboring countries may not mind coming over to take advantage of the new dynasty when its foundation is unstable.  "Perhaps the Cruze royal family has something to rely on! They have ruled this wealthy south for hundreds of years, so they should have accumulated some means to suppress the situation." Barrett shook his head with a serious expression, "Even if the royal family  If one or two of them are mentally retarded, the others will not stop them, not to mention that their think tanks will stop them. " "If this is the case, I am afraid that only a few people in the Cruze royal family will know the truth.  To truly understand the truth, it is more important for us to focus on where to rest and resupply." Rielle also expressed her opinion at this time.  Barrett tightened the reins in his hands at this time: "Anyway, there will be no forks on this road today. We can wait until nightfall to rest before deciding on the next destination." "I hope you, the guide, will not make mistakes.  "Rierlie muttered.  Barrett still kept smiling in the wind: "If the map is correct, I don't think there will be any problems. And if everyone is on horseback, chatting is fine. If you want to discuss specific issues, or  It's better to stabilize. "I don't know if it was due to the impact of the war. On the road from 'Golden Mailang Town' to Wellington, the players still didn't encounter any business travelers or pedestrians until the rolling fire clouds appeared in the sky.  .  Although this was not a busy trade road before the war started, this lonely road still made Barrett feel dissatisfied.  Because an encounter with a caravan may reveal one¡¯s whereabouts.  But they can also learn more about the relevant information in the Cruze Kingdom through them.  For the "Blood-stained Gray Flower" team who suddenly plunged into this strange place to save people, any risk that would help solve the problem of black eyes and a black eye was taken.  Most of them are worth it.  When Lalu¡¯s peephole began to adjust its focus, the scenery in the distance became dim and unclear.  At this point when the sun was about to completely fall silent, Barrett pulled the reins and turned down the business road.  After the white stripe in the field disappeared below the horizon, Barrett turned over and dismounted.  Immediately after jumping down from behind the anvil, Noodles immediately rubbed his hands and asked: "Captain! What are we eating tonight?" "What else do you want to eat! People in the wilderness naturally eat dry food. We here  I didn¡¯t prepare a long-distance carriage full of ingredients this time.¡± After stretching his body, which had become a little stiff from riding for a long time, Barrett tilted his neck and answered the noodles.  Hearing the news, Noodles felt like he was struck by lightning: "Captain, can you please take action?"Can I have a good meal, little one?  After being chased for so many days, I didn't even get tired of practicing to warm myself up!  Just take pity on me, a hungry halfling!  " "It's not really a halfling, there's no point in pretending.  "It was also time for Rielle to dismount. She immediately stood on the opposite side of Noodles: "Don't forget our current situation.  Living and cooking in the wilderness can be the best indicator for pursuers at night.  Even if you are willing to be chased by the other party for a meal.  We are not willing yet!  " "It shouldn't be so fast!"  If the other party still had members in 'Golden Mailang Town', the tracker should have appeared long ago!  "Noodles still said with some reluctance. "I think after the other party has confirmed our combat effectiveness, I am afraid that even if they are tracking, they will not show up easily.  Only when enough people are gathered can it be possible to attack us!  Rielle smiled proudly when she said this, "Unless those guys plan to become our experience and trophies like those guys in Golden Mailang Town."  " Barrett on the side knew that being tough on this kind of thing was not a good thing. So he immediately threw out a picture: "Just bear with it for a few days!  You will definitely be satisfied when you get to the next town.  " "But that requires you, Captain, to do it yourself. I don't think that kind of rural cook can make any good dishes.  " Noodles put forward his own conditions at this time. For such a request, Barrett naturally had no reason to refuse: "Just think of it as a way to comfort you for your suffering during this period.  Stop complaining now and start eating solid food later.  " Then the players who dismissed the Phantom Horse sat together. While munching on dry food, they looked for a suitable temporary foothold from the map under the light. Clematis first pointed at a black spot on the map.  : "What do you think of this place?  The town east of Fort Malcolm.  " "I don't think so!  It was too close to Fort Malcolm.  The government's control is probably not low.  Plus there was the possibility of a levy auxiliary from Fort Malcolm.  Maybe they will take action against us.  "Barrett shook his head and then turned his attention to the noodles: "Compared to us.  Noodles, your previous intelligence preparation should be more complete.  Any suggestions now?  "After hearing the news delivered by Noodles, Barrett immediately began to search for suitable targets on the map in his head. But then he realized that he knew very little about the current situation of the Cruze Kingdom. Originally, he knew very little about the current situation of the Cruze Kingdom.  With the development of the war, the information has long been changed beyond recognition. Now the only thing that can be relied on is to stay in the Cruze Kingdom for a while and get the help of the "Good Dragon God" Church "A little further north.  Xishuipan Town should be more suitable.  If I remember correctly.  That town seems to be smaller than Jinmailang Town.  In addition, there are no attractive specialties there, so they shouldn¡¯t embarrass us because of royal orders.  " Noodles swallowed the dry food he had chewed for a long time and finally made his own suggestion. "Unless it is in an era where surveillance is widespread and information is extremely convenient, the regime often has a big problem in controlling the grassroots - even in modern times  In society, due to the existence of human beings as uncertain managers, the control strength cannot be called perfect. In the game, the technological level, economic level, management level and the ability of those in power to govern are not enough.  If the power of the top level is directly transferred to the grassroots society, the excessive cost of governance will make it difficult for the country to do anything. Generally speaking, it is impossible to do anything.  In the administrative center, the benefits are very low compared to the administrative costs, and people in the bureaucracy have little incentive to do it well - Emperor Tiangao not only gives them the opportunity to do evil, but also represents it from another perspective.  Even if it makes achievements, it is difficult to get into the sight of upgrades. Therefore, the orders and plans from the central government are often difficult to implement in places like this, not to mention that it may be difficult for the small villages and towns to deal with them.  A strong mercenary team. Faced with this situation, local bureaucrats will most likely choose to turn a blind eye and avoid causing trouble. Of course, there are no exceptions. After all, this is always related to the cost of governance.  The benefits are closely related to the enthusiasm of the executors - as long as the high-level eyes are here, or where the country's major interests are, the benefits are enough to cover the costs (such as gold mines, silver mines, gem mines) and bring real benefits to the bureaucrats.  (Whether it is money or promotion level), the situation will change immediately. Therefore, when choosing a target, in addition to considering the size of the town and the distance from the center, it is also necessary to consider whether there are high-value specialties in the local area.  Note?'s.  Otherwise, if it is transported to a mine protection team with strong combat effectiveness.  Then the players can only consider themselves unlucky.  Although it sounded reasonable, Clematis couldn't help but glared at the halfling wanderer: "Since you were paying attention, you should have said it earlier. Were you deliberately preparing to see us make a fool of ourselves just now?" "Sounds like a  Good choice. What we have to consider now is how to avoid the possible encounters from the King's Army on the way to 'Xishuipan Town'." Speaking of this, Barrett frowned, "After all, it doesn't matter to us.  It will probably pass through the radiation range of Fort Malcolm. Depending on the situation, if we don't want to be caught, we may have to take a long way around." Rielle immediately expressed her support: "Even if it takes a little more time on the trip, we still can.  It is better to put safety first. " "But if you choose 'Xishuipan Town', you may encounter this problem. That is, small towns like this that are self-sufficient and have less developed businesses are often relatively closed. "  Clematis gently scratched his chin with his index finger, "Not to mention their rejection and vigilance of outsiders. The circulation of information alone often lags behind that of most towns. This is for the purpose of our information collection.  I'm afraid it's not very beneficial. "The best way for pastors of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' church to improve their status is to open up new business routes or new markets.  Therefore, there is special education for the closed small-scale peasant economy.  And on this basis, combined with the information he searched from reality, it is not surprising that Clematis would have such a cognition.  "In terms of intelligence, let's think of a solution when we enter the area controlled by local nobles in the future! The royal family's policies are very detrimental to our goals!" Rierli could only make this suggestion after thinking about it.  After all, the actions of the Cruze royal family are a dead end for players.  Barrett touched his beard and glanced at Clematis: "If Clematis is on your own, I think the Cruze royal family's recruiting team won't make it too difficult for you. Be prepared to be alone  Are you going to buy some information from your own church members? I think there must be a temple of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' church in Wellington. The rest of us can wait for your news in 'Xishuipan Town'."  "Don't! Don't! Don't! In this chaotic situation, what are the chances that I can keep the Resurrection Stone if I go on the road alone? I don't want to go to such a high-risk thing!" Clematis heard Barre  After Te's suggestion, he shook his head repeatedly.  "Well!" Barrett lowered his head, "If this is the case, we can only take one step at a time. I hope the subordinates of the 'Evil Dragon Queen' will not chase too close. Then before entering the magic rope  Before entering the magic space, please let Rielli and Noodles identify the loot at noon. If you can find something we can use, the road ahead may be easier." "We have been waiting for this time.  Here!" Noodles said and rubbed his hands.  PS: Modify the words.  Thanks to "Xiaoou" and "troy9163" for their monthly votes.  At the same time, I would like to thank "Shentan Feibiao" for the big reward.
