    Although you have to spare some time every day to prepare feed for the newly acquired horses.  However, thanks to the stronger foot power of these mounts, the players' forward speed was not slowed down by this. On the contrary, they were a little faster than before. However, the summoned mounts wanted to keep up with the top three.  Speed, but exhausted.  But because of this, when ¡®Upper Valley Town¡¯ clearly appeared in the sight of everyone in ¡®Blood-Stained Gray Flower¡¯, Barrett actually found that his party had arrived several hours earlier than scheduled.  He put away the riding crop and looked very happy: "Sure enough, it is worth spending time to take good care of these treasures! It seems that we can at least seize the land of Cruze Kingdom a day earlier." As he spoke, Barrett also stroked his crotch.  Lower the mount's mane.  And as if sensing Barrett's kindness, the war horse actually raised its head and neighed happily. It seemed that this guy had long since washed away his original owner from his mind.  "It is definitely a good thing to leave the Cruze Kingdom early. These days are really uncomfortable." Claudia was obviously quite satisfied with the speed at which her companions were improving.  And when the destination this time appeared completely in front of the players, even Claudia, who was the most insensitive to this aspect, realized that this place was different from the villages and towns she had passed through before.  Barrett's good eyes immediately focused his attention on the Juma pile that almost surrounded the town. Even from a distance, he could see the different features of the logs that made up the Juma pile.  Busy glitch.  This is not just a matter of workmanship, but it is also very obvious that the work was completed not long ago.  Placing them in front of the earth wall will indeed cause some trouble for the attackers.  And when Barrett turned his attention to the entrance.  Then I discovered that the workmanship of the special sentry box here was much more refined than that of the Juma post.  Not only do the boards and posts appear to be fairly straight.  The surface was also leveled with a plane.  As for the small glitches that may exist after reading it.  Sooner or later it will be worn away during long-term use.  But when it comes to painting, that¡¯s really not the case.  After all, when it comes to items like paint, although it can't be said to be a luxury product, the price is not cheap either. No one will be in the sentry box in the town again.  In Barrett¡¯s eyes, the sentry and supporting barrier gates are like a new car that has not been warmed up, and the running-in with the user is obviously not enough.  However, as time goes by, these wood flaws will sooner or later be smoothed out and coated with pulp. Many antique buildings are "naturally formed" in this way, provided that they are not destroyed before they change.  When the players got up and approached, they discovered that the four guards in the sentry in front of them gave them a completely different feeling from the previous one.  If we say that the guards in 'Jinmailang Town' feel loose and loose.  And those temporarily transferred strong men in "Xishuipan Town" can be called frightened birds.  Then the body in front of you can be considered strong.  And the village guards with their bright eyes are naturally the elites of the Cruze Kingdom's militia system.  In Barrett¡¯s view, only after at least two months of training and long hours of work can those rookies who didn¡¯t know anything at the beginning be able to complete such a transformation.  Although they don't have the evil spirit unique to the Hundred Battles Elite, they are still a group of energetic and energetic soldiers. According to the average level of the Western Continent, this is indeed the case. Several people standing outside the sentry at the same time, although they cannot  Compared with the honor guard or the Hundred-War Army, with their heads held high and their chests held high, there is no big problem. Of course, this must be combined with their status.  In the eyes of some upper-class people in the South, the postures of these people are still rough and not elegant at all.  ¡®Pretty good!  The long gun he held was scrubbed very clean, and there was no rust left on the sharp gun tip.  ¡¯ Looking at the weapon glowing coldly under the sun.  Barrett nodded secretly and commented, 'It's a pity judging from the oily shine that's still there.  The thick cloth armor worn by these people should be old items used by others.  That thing is always not easy to clean¡¯ What also attracts attention is the iron helmet each of them wears on their head.  It should be said that among the several small towns passing through the Cruze Kingdom, only the patrol members here wore iron helmets.  In any case, this thing is not light in weight, and it will not give people a good feeling if it is worn on the head for a long time.  In fact, except for the guards in the city who are often noticed, the guards in these small places basically will not do that.  Although this is also related to the salary gap between the two.  But it is more a question of the quality of the personnel themselves.  Although I don¡¯t know the specific reason, the guards in front of me seem to be putting in as many protective equipment as possible.  Barrett's eyes seemed to have seen the lids made from among the sentries.A broken wooden shield made of craftsmanship and an iron pot.  This should be an item that the guards found on their own to use as a shield.  Although the appearance and possible functions are not very good, from a purely defensive perspective, this kind of thing is better than nothing.  After all, judging from the practice of the Cruze Kingdom, the official will not equip the guards in these villages and towns with shields.  So I'm afraid they can only purchase this equipment themselves.  Although he didn't know much about military matters, Clematis still expressed this emotion: "I now understand why the Cruze royal family is at a disadvantage in the battle with the local nobles. Even if it is a militia, this  The gap between the two sides is too big! " "'Shangxigu Town' can be regarded as a commercial town, and the economic strength here is not comparable to that of 'Xishuipan Town' and 'Jinmailang Town'.  Under such an economic foundation, it is acceptable for the patrol members to have better quality." Barrett paused at this, "Of course, the gap in front of me is indeed too big." "Although I am right.  There is not much research on this aspect, but they should be able to sustain it for a while when facing the raiding team that attacked us before!" Rielli made this comment while touching her chin.  "No! No! No! Don't think too weak of the attackers that day. When they attacked us, they themselves were not in good condition. Otherwise, the battle would not be resolved so easily." Ba shook his head.  Leiter immediately refuted Rielle's point of view.  "So it may be difficult for the patrols in front of me to organize them to rush into the town. But generally speaking, those guys are not likely to attack such a small town. The main enemies of these guys are ordinary bandits. At least they can wait until the alarm bell  It's enough to ring. "Although it's because of the war.  Basically all the bandits and bandits in the Cruze Kingdom have been absorbed by the royal family.  But it¡¯s not just a sporadic gang roaming the wilds.  However, those small groups who could only enjoy the leftovers may really not be able to get any benefits in front of these patrol members!  "I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case! Aren't those kind of combat restrictions mainly aimed at agricultural areas? 'Shangxigu Town' is a commercial town! If it is an interference, it should be able to be drawn out of the scope." I always feel that I  Riellie, who seemed to have caught some loophole, was a little excited at this time!  On the other hand, after seeing the person coming, a man wearing leather armor and a long sword at his waist emerged from the sentry.  Judging from his appearance, he should be the person in charge of this sentry.  The team leader who walked up to the Juma Zhuang immediately spoke out: "Anyone who comes, stop. Please state your intention and do not engage in hostile behavior. Although our 'Shangxi Valley Town' does not have a prestigious reputation, we are never afraid of threats."  "We are the Saxon mercenary group 'Blood-stained Gray Flowers' who came from the south and are preparing to rush back to our hometown." After saying this, Barrett took out his documents from his pocket: "The behavior of your royal family is really too much.  . It's so troublesome that we can't survive in this land. I really hope that the enemy's masters can overthrow the mad king as soon as possible." "The mercenary group of Saxony?" The team leader had a serious expression.  He finally relaxed a little, but he didn't have the ability to recognize documents, so he couldn't completely rest assured: "Besides this, is there anything else to prove your identity?" "Prove your identity?" Although he had known this would happen,  But Barrett still deliberately touched his chin: "When we left Wellington, we took the opportunity to be attacked by the royal raiding team, and we got some loot from them at that time!" After saying this,  Barrett took out the soldier cards collected from the dead raiders: "Although the number is not large, their captain is also in it. With this, I think you will no longer regard us as  He must be a spy from the royal family!" After skillfully taking over the cards thrown by Barrett, the captain began to observe the blood-stained identification documents one by one.  It's different from that mercenary certificate.  He was still very familiar with this kind of item.  After preliminary confirmation, although there was no evidence of ears, his attitude towards the people in front of him also softened: "Welcome to 'Shangxi Valley Town', would you like to stay here for a few days?  By the way, I would like to inform you that the mission of wiping out the Royal Robbery Team is posted on the public examination card in the town. You can use these certificates to exchange for bounties. Of course, since there are no corresponding ears, the rewards here may be discounted.  "There is actually a reward mission? If I had known we should have put those ears on. Now even if we try to rush back, I think we will probably not find the body. In this case, we can only accept it."  Barrett said half-jokingly and half-seriously. At the same time, he dismounted and took back the patrol captain's hand.??Those military cards.  Rielle then dismounted and held the reins in her hands and asked: "You are so nervous. Could it be that 'Upper Valley Town' has been attacked by those raiding teams before? Otherwise, you would have issued such a reward." "No.  ! Our town itself is very safe. Although the raiding teams showed off their power outside the town, they did not dare to attack the caravans here directly, so the adults in the town office would.  Issue such a mission." The patrol captain smiled sheepishly at this, "Of course we never thought that any adventurer could complete that mission before. After all, it would be too difficult for an ordinary team to deal with those marauders.  We only did this to reassure those businessmen, so your performance was a complete surprise. "The approach of 'Shangxi Valley Town' is obviously a bit bureaucratic, but it is also the case when there is no other choice.  A way.  It is showing to the passing caravans that it is not turning a blind eye to the increasingly aggressive whistleblowers, nor is it not taking no action.  It's just that how effective the countermeasures can be, we can only leave it to fate.  "I don't like unexpected surprises. It feels like the party issuing the task cannot get paid." Clematis, who came up to him at this time, suddenly complained.  After hearing this, the patrol captain hurriedly began to explain: "As for the remuneration, please feel free to worry about it. The financial situation of our 'Shangxi Valley Town' has always been good. The gentlemen in the town office,  You shouldn't ruin your reputation just for this little money." "Judging from your performance, we really don't need to worry about remuneration." After saying this, Barrett handed the other party a few coins: "You can tell us.  Which is the best hotel in the town? By the way, if we plan to continue going north, which one is more suitable? " "As for the hotel! It is said that the bedding and houses of the "Love Fire" in the south of the town are better.  It¡¯s the cleanest. But the food at the Fennel Bean Hotel near the small square is better. I think you can choose between them.¡± The patrol leader paused, ¡°As for the route to the north?  I'm afraid I can't give you any useful advice. After all, the battle lines there are changing back and forth. You can only decide which path is right when you get there. ""The fighting between the two sides in the north is so frequent and intense?" Looking back at the Cruze Kingdom.  After what he saw, it was really difficult for Barrett to connect the words of the man in front of him with the war he saw.  The young patrol captain nodded: "If the news is correct, it is indeed like this. How can a little person like me know the specific reasons? I'm afraid those at the town office don't understand either!" (To be continued.  ) ps: Modify the words.  Thanks to "Drunken Green Bull No. 2" and "Butter Mouse" for your generous monthly votes.  At the same time, I would like to thank the two "Shentan Feibiao" for the reward.
