    Unexpected changes disrupted Barrett's overall plan.  The players heading east rode their horses and trekked hard in the late autumn wilderness.  Although the mice ran across the dry thatch on the backbone, everything on the surface was visible to the rider's eyes.  However, the potholes and stubborn rocks that appear in sight from time to time still make players dare not let go and gallop at full speed.  "According to the itinerary, we should have left the area controlled by the Cruze royal family and entered the sphere of influence of the local nobles." After estimating the speed of the horses and combining it with the travel time, it was not difficult for Noodles to come up with this conclusion.  in conclusion.  Rielle was not interested in the halfling rogue's statement: "This kind of hostile force's closure is not a demarcated national border. What's more, even national borders are controversial, like this so-called  The sphere of influence is probably changing every day when the two armies are fighting! Who can be sure which side is controlling the land we are standing on? " "Okay! You two should stop talking.  Just say it! Aren't you uncomfortable with the autumn wind pouring into your throat?" Clematis, who didn't want any further conflict between the two, immediately interrupted the conversation.  But at this moment, Barrett, who was at the front of the team, suddenly pulled the reins in his hand, and at the same time grabbed the compound longbow on his back: "There is a situation at 10 o'clock. Everyone, be careful and prepare to fight.  "With Barrett's words, the players of 'Blooded Ash Flower' immediately stopped bickering and focused all their attention on the direction pointed by the captain.  Although there is nothing in the wilderness as far as the eye can see, at the end of the horizon, there is a sky that rarely has a different color from the surroundings. The flying yellow dust covers the blue sky.  According to Barrett's experience, there must be a lot of creatures that can create this level of dust, and they may be galloping cavalry.  It may also be a migrating beast.  Although it is not clear whether the other party will pose a threat to itself, it is not wrong to prepare in advance.  "Are those guys coming for us?" Rierli, who was holding the scroll in her hand, frowned and stared at the small patch of sky that seemed to be covered with a layer of yellow gauze.  Barrett drew a triangular arrow from his quiver.  At this time, he shook his head: "When we were on the road, we controlled the speed of the horses very strictly. In addition, the number of people was small. The dust stirred up was definitely much smaller than there. In most cases, it was us who discovered them first.  Yes. So this is probably a 'accidental encounter' arranged by the system. "There is no falcon in the sky. The possibility of a 'accidental encounter' is very high." Lalu, who was standing on the horse, opened his eyes wide at this time.  He opened his own peephole to observe the cloudless blue sky.  Clematis, who came to Barrett's side, bent down slightly: "Captain, you are equipped with a giant belt today. It seems that you don't need the power of the bull for the time being." "After all, it should be difficult for us to meet you now.  For those special enemies, it is worthwhile to use a martial art that is rarely put to use to save your magic." Barrett said this while holding the tail feather of the arrow in his left hand at any time.  Ready to take aim.  As mentioned before, the apprentice-type stone dragon belt is really useless for the current Barrett.  When she wore a fitness belt before, Barrett rarely used it.  Later, after transferring the fitness belt to Anvil, it was used as a temporary top-up.  And after getting the Juli belt.  That thing is out of work again.  Of course, this does not mean that this apprentice-type stone dragon waist is completely useless to Barrett.  Because as long as it meets the right conditions, it has the potential to be promoted to a scholar-type or even a master-type stone dragon belt.  Only then will this strange object shine with its dazzling brilliance.  As for now, it can only be a substitute that is needed in certain specific environments.  As the dust in the distance got closer and closer, the figure covered by it soon appeared in the players' sight. The gray armor was stained, and the scars on it were even more obvious.  Linen bags stained with blood were strewn about on the unstitched saddle.  And the current condition of their owners cannot be said to be very good. The bandages wrapped around their bodies have reddish-brown patches.  At the same time, his face could not hide the exhaustion after running for a long time.  Occasionally, the wounds involved would make some of them grin.  "Looks like this is a raiding team? I don't know if they are horse thieves who have just been recruited by the Cruze royal family, or if they are members of their original cavalry regiment." After confirming the image of the team with his keen eyes, Barrett made a decision  Such judgment.  To put it bluntly, the so-called raiding team is an act of clearing grass and valleys. However, according to the consistent tradition of the kingdom's civil war, this team generally does not go back to loot those small villages and towns.  Their target is the enemy's logistics troops, patrolsLogical rangers or caravans of small and medium-sized chambers of commerce serving the enemy.  Although the robe has been changed beyond recognition and the flag is unknown where it was left behind during the battle.  It¡¯s impossible to tell the alignment of these riders at first glance.  But judging from the direction they chose after returning from plunder, there should be no second possibility except the Cruze royal family.  "Cruz royal family's plundering team!" Clematis said this and tightened his grip on the mace: "I hope they won't be stupid enough to attack us." "Although they are larger in number.  . But looking at the situation, if there is no knight to lead the team, it will definitely be a dead end to fight with us." Rielli also made his own assessment at this time.  Barrett, who was staring at the cavalry team, gently moved the fingers holding the bow arm: "It is unlikely that knights will be dispatched. Although the number of knights in the Kingdom of Cruz is much larger than that in the Northland, they are also in a low position in the Western Continent.  Middle and lower reaches. Unless that team has some special mission, they will not join such an operation, and that team has just experienced a hard battle. If there are knights among them, it means that the other team also has.  There is no chance that we will encounter this!" "I hope those guys will be more sensible. I don't want to have a direct conflict with the Cruze royal family for no reason," Clematis said.  Although they had threatened and intimidated the "Xishuipan Town" before to obtain information, compared with the armed conflict with the troops belonging to the Cruze royal family, it was just drizzle!  "    "if you can.  I don't want to fight either.  Barrett seemed to have no emotion at all when he said this: "But the decision-making power in this regard is not in our hands, but in the hands of the other party."  If they attack.  We can only harvest as much experience and loot as possible to make up for the subsequent losses that the conflict will bring" Before Barrett could finish speaking, the voice of Noodles had already sounded: "Those guys are rushing towards us!  " "It seems that you really think that we are young and easy to bully?"  "The corners of Barrett's mouth were slightly raised at this moment. Facing the enemy with a smile seemed to be a silent taunt. "The words were divided into two parts. Just when Barrett and others were fully prepared for battle, they were vigilantly monitoring the approaching team in the distance. That team  The vanguard also spotted the 'Blooded Ash Flower' group. The rider, who was barely injured, immediately turned around and asked, "Captain!"  There seems to be a group of less than 10 adventurers in front.  Should we go up and eat them, or should we pretend not to see them and just go around them?  " "Less than 10 people?  What are you afraid of?  The boys had extra meals.  "This man with high cheekbones and a mustache immediately pulled out the long sword from his waist, and at the same time, he clamped his feet on the horse under his crotch. When the plundering team saw their target, they even more  He cheered like a wolf, obviously very satisfied with the dessert this time. "It seems that there is no mage accompanying the army!"  Then it is even less possible for them to have such a high-quality match as the Cavaliers.  "After the distance between the other party was further reduced, Barrett said with a smile, "Rierli, you can show off your skills this time.  " Barrett has just finished speaking. The magicians in the team have completed their spells and started to climb with their wide bat wings. And Lalu behind her took the reins with one hand at this moment. But the other hand did not  Pulling out the 'Scorpion Scythe', the cat-man monk obviously understood that his weapon was not suitable for mounted combat. On the other hand, except for Lalu and Barrett, all the remaining players had dismounted.  . Obviously their current riding skills were not enough to compete with the professional team in front of them. At the same time, after seeing the target's actions, the looters let out a series of wild laughter.  It seemed to them that it was absolutely difficult for unorganized infantry to resist a cavalry charge, even if they were just light cavalry. But they seemed to have forgotten that only a well-organized group charge could truly exert its power.  The dreams of these guys were shattered. Along with the raging sparks of the heat wave, the plundering team was instantly turned upside down, and the flames that continued to swallow the air quickly ignited the hay in the autumn wilderness.  Pulling out a sloping chimney, along with the baptism of flames, Barrett, who had already launched a charge, now completely entered the ranks of the marauders. The spear in his hand moved straight forward, and he was about to make contact.  When he turned around at the first target, the original spear tip was immediately replaced by a buzzing gun barrel. The soldier who belonged to the Cruze royal family felt a pain in his chest, a black eye, and a headache.  A thick mist of blood spurted out from his mouth. At the same time, his feet were lifted off the horse's hooves, and he was thrown into the air after several spins.  The companion who stops isTrampled by like this.  It looked like he couldn't live anymore.  Barrett, who had completed a kill, was unyielding, and the spear in his hand made a "whooshing" sound like a waving whip.  At this moment, the enemy was blown to pieces by the fireball technique.  For a while, it was difficult to organize an effective attack against this top-notch rider among players.  I'll add it later. "Less than 10 people? What are you afraid of? The boys are having extra meals." This man with high cheekbones and a mustache immediately pulled out the long sword at his waist and clamped his feet sharply at the same time.  The war horse under the crotch.  When the raiding team saw their target, they cheered like wolves.  Obviously very satisfied with this dessert.  "It seems that there is no mage accompanying the army! Then it is even less likely that they will have such a high-quality match as the knight." After the distance between the other party was further narrowed, Barrett said with a smile, "Riellie, you can do whatever you want this time.  Show off your skills." Barrett had just finished speaking. The magicians in the team had already completed their spells and started to climb with their wide bat wings.  Lalu, who was behind her, took the reins with one hand, but did not pull out the 'Scorpion Sickle' with the other hand.  Obviously the cat-man monk also understands that his kind of weapon is not suitable for mounted combat.  On the other hand, except for Lalu and Barrett, the remaining players have all dismounted.  Apparently with their current riding skills.  It's not enough to go toe-to-toe with the professional team in front of you immediately.  At the same time, after seeing the target's actions, the looters let out a series of wild laughter.  It seemed to them that they faced a cavalry charge.  Unorganized infantry is absolutely difficult to resist even if they are only light cavalry.  But they seem to have forgotten that only a well-organized group charge can truly exert its power.  A fireball falling from the sky instantly shattered these guys' dreams.  With the raging sparks of heat.  In an instant, the looting team was stunned.  And the flames that kept devouring the air quickly ignited the dry grass in the autumn wilderness.  The billowing black smoke and autumn wind pulled out a sloping chimney.  With the baptism of flames, Barrett, who had already launched a charge, now completely entered the ranks of the marauders.  The spear in his hand went straight forward, and then he swung it when he was about to touch the first target.  The original tip of the gun was immediately replaced by a buzzing gun barrel.  And the soldier who belonged to the Cruze royal family felt a pain in his chest, his vision went dark, and his throat made a sweet sound, and a thick mist of blood spurted out from his mouth.  At the same time, his feet broke away from the horse's hooves, and his whole body was lifted high from the saddle.  It spun a few times in the air and then rolled down into the wilderness.  Then he was trampled by his companions who had no time to stop.  It looked like he couldn't live anymore.  Barrett, who had completed a kill, was unyielding, and the spear in his hand made a "whooshing" sound like a waving whip.  At this moment, the enemy who was blown to pieces by the fireball technique found it difficult to organize an effective attack against this top-notch rider among players.  (To be continued.) ps: Will be added later.  Thanks to "Walking without Watching Point" and "Hamster Collection" for their monthly votes.  At the same time, I would like to thank "Camuo" and "Shentan Feibiao" for their generous rewards.
