People sometimes deceive themselves, especially when they are weak. Most people would rather believe in crocodile tears than resist: "The army of nobles and lords closest to us should be stationed in New York to the west. Lord Wellington has specifically told us to be careful about the troops coming over there. " "New York County? That doesn't mean that if they want to come over, it will only be a day's journey away," said Barre. Te raised his eyebrows, "But according to the usual practice, as long as you don't resist, they shouldn't do anything to 'Xishuipan Town'. The actual threat should not be big." "Sir, you are very Understand the past practices of our Cruze." As if aware of the goodwill exuded by Barrett, the man in front of him who was trembling with fear just now finally breathed a sigh of relief: "If no one from Wellington comes over, we are here. It shouldn¡¯t be much affected.¡± ¡°I hope your royal family can abide by the rules in this regard!¡± Barrett couldn¡¯t help but sarcastically said, ¡°Haha! In other aspects, their behavior is not very good. It's commendable. " "The thoughts of the big shots are not something we civilians can understand. Naturally, they are not something we can talk about casually." Although he understood the meaning of Barrett's words, the patrol member did not dare to answer casually. Seeing the cautious look on the other side. Barrett smiled slightly disdainfully: "Is there a representative from Wellington in this town? You are actually afraid of being like this." "Mr., please don't embarrass us. The news you want is Didn't I tell you everything?" the patrolman said with an ugly look. "Then now is the second question. Since the battle line has been drawn so quietly, has Wellington followed up and deployed a defensive line in that direction? I want to confirm that if we go east from here, it should not Encountering the royal family's army!" Barrett said with a grin on his face, "You know, with the level of your Cruze Kingdom's army, an ordinary team will not be able to stop us. If you can get out of trouble, your "Xishuipan" town is waiting for revenge!" The patrol member who was threatened again had a hard time getting his blood-red face to turn white again. Then I heard him stammering: "First of all, sir, we don't know very well whether there is an army there! How could the elders in Wellington tell us that? "Message?" "Even if there is no special notification, I don't believe that you don't even have any news." Barrett was not shaken by the other party's words. Then he started to push forward step by step. Because he knew that although the patrol members in front of him were unwilling to die for the royal family, they would tip them off or mislead others if given the chance. After all, the Cruze royal family has ruled the kingdom for so many years, and the habits caused by legitimacy alone have an extraordinary impact. The patrol member shook his head: "We really don't know this aspect. Wellington City hasn't sent heralds here a few times during this period. Even if they did, we couldn't see them." "You guys will. It doesn't mean that others can't see it. As I said before, choose one of them to go back and ask me to come out! If you don't want to suffer, it's better not to do stupid things to the person in front of you. Barrett, who was not satisfied with the answer, immediately increased his tone. At the same time, the players of ¡®Blood-Stained Gray Flower¡¯. They immediately put their hands on their respective weapons. For a moment, the only sound of the autumn wind could be heard at the entrance of the town. Big drops of sweat flowed down the patrol team members' cheeks to their chins, and then dripped down like this. After a short confrontation, the patrol members, who had already lost their morale, chose to give in: "Okay! Pete, go and ask the Sheriff out! Otherwise, I'm afraid our town will be in trouble again." "But go and ask the Sheriff. Sir, there will be no trouble, right?" The patrol member whose name was called was obviously unwilling to take such a step. The patrol member who was pushed out to answer Barrett's question gritted his teeth and said: "At least you won't need to lie in bed for a few months. Or lie directly in the coffin." "I'll do it right now!" As if remembering the previous encounter, the patrol member immediately compromised. Then he turned around and trotted into the town. It didn't take long before the sound of 'dang-dang-dang' came from the clock tower in the town. When the sheriff wearing a thick leather hat appeared, there were six young men standing behind him. Obviously those few are also members of the militia system of "Xishuipan Town". The man wearing a leather hat looked Barrett up and down and asked: "Are you the adventurer who inquires about military intelligence? Do you know the consequences of doing so? The royal family"??We will never let any spy go. " "No matter what the consequences will be after we do this. But if you don¡¯t answer, I¡¯m afraid there will be unbearable consequences for ¡®Xishuipan Town¡¯. What's more, do you think we will be afraid of the Ackroyd family who are already unable to protect themselves? "Regarding the slightly tough attitude of the sheriff, Barrett's words also became sharper. He knew that facing such a strong and powerful guy, he could only pull the skin of a tiger and pull the flag. Only by using toughness to fight toughness can we make peace. The other party surrendered. Any slightest hint of weakness might give the other party the illusion that his threat was effective. Faced with Barrett's tough attitude, the police officer had to hold back the curse even though his face turned red. Impulsive. Because he knew that although he didn't know whether what the players in front of him said was true, if the other party was really as powerful as he said, then any resistance from "Xishuipan Town" would be limited. It can bring disaster to yourself. ¡°What do you want to know? "For the safety of 'Xishuipan Town', the Sheriff suppressed the anger in his heart and asked loudly with an unwilling and distorted face. Compared with the excited emotions of the person in front of him, Barrett's performance was quite indifferent: "It's not too confidential! I just want to know if there are any patrols or defense lines built by the royal family between Wellington City and New York County. If there is a patrol, you should also know their approximate number. We don't count on the time. As for the defensive line, I want to know roughly where to go to get around it. " "There is no line of defense! Most of the royal army was huddled in Wellington City. If it weren't for the lack of manpower, how could we have such a serious conflict with you? The police officer exhaled and said, "There are patrols." However, the patrol range does not even cover our small town, let alone further east. " Although the answer he got in front of him was very close to his guess, Barrett still set his sights on Clematis. The latter also nodded at this time. Obviously, he was confirming that the other party was not lying on this issue. We encountered the Cruze royal family¡¯s army on the next route, and it was probably a situation that the person in front of us didn¡¯t understand. ¡°Okay! We've run out of questions. Then don't bother me anymore. "After saying this, Barrett pulled the reins and kicked the horse's belly lightly to prepare to turn the horse's head. Then he didn't forget to turn around and remind: "If I were you, I wouldn't ventilate Wales after a while. Report the news. Let them send men after us. If you want to use your own lives to test whether we are telling lies, then we are also willing to accompany you to the end. " "put! rest assured! How could we do such a thankless thing. "The sheriff maintained his anger. It seemed that he was trying to force out a smile so that Barrett would stop causing trouble. However, the twisted expression combined with the wrinkles of the sagging skin made the middle-aged man's face look dull. It looks like a blooming chrysanthemum. After passing through "Xishuipan Town" but unable to enter the rest area, the players had to bypass this town and move eastward. This was obviously an unplanned encounter. The mood of everyone in "Blood-stained Gray Flower" became a little worse. At this time, the noodles hanging behind the dwarf couldn't help but ask: "Barrett, do you really think that guy in 'Xishuipan Town'? Why don't you go back to Wellington City to report the news? " "Maybe, maybe not, so what does it matter! Barrett, who was riding on horseback, said without looking back: "It's best not to do it naturally." Even if he could, the distance from Xishuipan Town to Wales City was not short. And it doesn¡¯t look like ¡®Xishuipan Town¡¯ has that kind of specialized messenger. By the time they pass the boy to Wales, we will already be approaching New York County, which is controlled by local nobles. Even if the Welsh side sends people to catch up, I'm afraid it will be too late. " "That's right! Unless the other party chooses to travel day and night in the wilderness. Otherwise, it would take an unknown day for Wales to get to "Xishuipan Town" even with light cavalry. Before those pursuers came up, we had already left the jurisdiction of the Cruze royal family. "Rierlie also covered her mouth with her cloak at this time and added. Claudia, who already felt a little strange, naturally had new questions at this time: "Since it doesn't matter whether the other party sends the message, then Barrett, why did you make that threat just now? " "Do you think I am unnecessary? Barrett turned around and smiled at Claudia, "I was deliberately misleading them, making them think that sending messages to Wales would pose a threat to us." If they were really angry enough to do this, they would have the sense to do so. " "Are you deliberately torturing them? "The cat boy behind Rielli also spoke immediately. "It cannot be said that we are tormenting them. "Barrett shook his head. "If they don't care about us, they won't be affected. " "Barrett, you are really evil! "Lalu covered her mouth with her paws and laughed. Regarding the cat-man monk's statement, Barrett did not agree: "What does it mean to be evil-minded. Previously, I said that I would exchange the required amount of information with them on the condition of not entering "Xishuipan Town". This is a loss of fair trade! If the other party is unwilling to give up and causes trouble for us after the transaction, don't we need to teach him a lesson? " "Fair deal? In a sense. Seems like a fair deal! "Clematis was really amused by the conversation between Barrett and Lalu at this time. But then she immediately made a fuss: "No matter what, our current situation is worse than what we originally planned. A lot! Not only was the rest canceled, but more importantly, not much useful information was obtained. At present, the situation of these two eyes is completely dark, and it seems that there is no improvement. " "It can't be said that it is completely absent! At least we know how to leave the Cruze royal family's control area. "It's hard to tell whether Barrett's words were self-deprecating or sincere. The halfling wanderer who had been caring about the big meal that Barrett owed him couldn't help but speak again: "Talk about Barrett! Now that you have chosen your route, do you know what your next destination is? " "Look at it according to the map. The nearest small town in New York County to the east from "Xishuipan Town" should be "Tongtiao Town". However, as an important mining area, it is probably heavily guarded. "As he spoke, Barrett let go of the hand that was holding the reins and began to pluck his beard: "If we go there, we may conflict with the local nobles' army. So it must be avoided. The rest is in the "Shangxi Valley Town" in the northeast. It was a relatively prosperous commercial town, and it was easier to find out news when there was a large flow of people. " "'Shangxi Valley Town'? "Noodles immediately began to wonder how long it would take him and his party to get there. As a wanderer, he had already imprinted the map in his mind during the previous discussion. So let's do it now This kind of thing comes with no effort at all: "Does it take 3 days? " "It should be at least three days, and there should be no accidents on the way. "Barrett responded, "And we're not sure that the answer given by the sheriff is correct. In case there is some action on the Welsh side that he doesn't know about. Then we may need to play 1-2 games next. In this case, the journey on the road will inevitably be delayed. " "What bad luck! Why didn¡¯t we get through the Cruze Kingdom after we entered it? "At this time, even Rielle couldn't help complaining. Barrett chuckled: "Ha! Who brought us to this strange land?
