    For a long time in the past, the Brandenburg Fortress in the north was the most important military training ground for the Kingdom of Norhan.  £Û{¡´¡´{Íø But ever since I accidentally broke the backbone of the barbarians in the north, its role in training new blood in the army has become weaker and weaker. In fact, it should not be said that it is Nohan.  The mistake of the military was due to the joint actions between the other party and the Kingdom of Lucia during the war, which allowed Norhan to fire a real fire but had no time to stop.  Since then, Norhan has lost a qualified training ground, and it has not been able to recover it to this day.  This has led to the fact that although the reputation of Nohan's strong army is still widely recognized in the Western Continent, these military nobles in Nohan always have a feeling of uncertainty. After all, no matter how hard they train, they can't compare to the real ones.  Actual combat.  In addition to ordinary soldiers, worries about the new generation of the family also linger in the minds of those big shots.  Although venturing out to be exposed to wind and rain can indeed effectively help young people grow.  But adventurer battles and armies are completely different.  As the war is about to begin, these young people who lack war experience may take greater risks.  That's why we have the current arrangement, otherwise it would be the same for ordinary soldiers to complete such tasks. Although the Kingdom of Lucia often sent elite troops in the early stages of the war, in the battle before the soldiers came to the border, the number of advance teams and scouts  Often not very large.  As a transitional training ground from adventure combat to war, it is naturally a very good choice.  Of course there are still risks, but if you want to gain something, you have to pay some price.  At least in the eyes of the family's senior management, such risks are still within controllable range.  In other words, in their eyes, even if there is some damage, it is worth it compared to the gain.  After generally understanding what he needed to face, Barrett asked about the part he was concerned about: "Then when do we need to leave? And it is a long distance from here to the northeast of Cruze. We really  "Can you be in position before Lucia takes action?" "You can rest assured! This snowstorm will have a greater impact on the Lucia Kingdom than here. And according to the news we have received from Lucia, they are here.  The road network has been completely paralyzed, so you have enough time to lurk." Speaking of this, Earl Bolum smiled, "As for the mounts on the road, the family will be responsible for preparing them, after all, they are still in the stables.  Let¡¯s take a good rest here!¡± ¡°Because of the political structure, national income and Lucia¡¯s own environmental characteristics that are easy to overturn.  The road condition in Lucia is one level worse than that in Nohan.  Even the strategic transportation channel in the direction of the Kingdom of Cruze was in a state of difficulty in recovering for a long time after the heavy snowfall.  Although soldiers can march in the wilderness, large-scale transportation of supplies cannot.  Although eating and fighting the enemy can indeed reduce the logistical burden to a certain extent, the risks involved make the Lucians hesitant. In the war 200 years ago, their strategy of supporting war with war ultimately resulted in  Big crash.  Such shadows and lessons remain fresh even after the baptism of time.  "Lord Earl Beau, I would like to ask, how to solve the problem of forage? It's easy for me and my team members. But the horses have a huge demand for forage, and they can't replenish it on their own in this icy and snowy wilderness.  !" At this time, Barrett asked the key to the problem with a look of embarrassment.  Earl Bolum smiled: "We are naturally prepared in this regard. You will go on the road with the baggage train disguised as a caravan. We have already reached a tacit understanding with the local lords on this matter." 'etc.  wait!  In this case, is there any point in keeping it secret?  With so many people participating in such a big move, it is impossible to completely block the news!  ¡¯ When Barrett heard this, he was beating a drum in his heart, but he still did not dare to show any rude expression on his face.  However, Earl Boreham still found some clues in Barrett's sudden move.  He immediately understood the concerns of the young junior in front of him: "You don't have to worry about this. The tradition of exporting mercenaries in the Bolum Territory is enough to confuse the truth. 200 years ago, we were able to defend the independence of those small countries with arms, so now we guarantee  The territorial integrity of the Cruze Kingdom is not a big deal. ""The mixture of true and false, false and true information can indeed play a misleading role.  But how effective it really is is unknown.  Could it be that the previous secret letter was also a smoke bomb in a sense' At the same time as these thoughts popped up in his head, Barrett expressed his position while beating his chest: "Promise to complete the mission." "You will lead them tomorrow.  Come and sign the confidentiality agreement, and then we will notify you of the specific release time.?" Earl Bolum stood up and patted Barrett on the shoulder, "Although the final reward is related to your victory, if nothing can be done, the priority is to preserve yourself.  Being alive means having endless possibilities.  "    "clear!  After nodding, Barrett said seriously: "But we can't make people laugh."  ¡± Earl Boreham felt that he should not dampen the enthusiasm of young people. He smiled and said: ¡°Then you can control it yourself!  " Early the next morning, Barrett led his companions to the city hall to sign confidential documents. Then the system prompt sound of task sharing appeared in the ears of all "Blood-stained Gray Flowers" players. I learned the general  The players in the situation all cast doubtful glances at Barrett, and after confirming the situation, Barrett, as the captain, turned around and said, "I will explain to you when I get back.  " After returning to the closed space and asking Lalu and Noodles to pay attention to what was happening outside the house, Barrett formally informed his companions of all the details of the operation. "War!  Real war.  It turns out that we can already get involved in this kind of event.  "Claudia suddenly stood up with excitement, but under Barrett's gaze she lowered her tone again. After staring at Claudia and closing her mouth, Barrett then  He said angrily: "Have you forgotten our experience in the Seven Cities Alliance?  By then we were already involved in the war!  " "It's different!  Completely different.  Claudia shook her head repeatedly, "At that time we were just helping the 'Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce'."  This time we can truly intervene in the war from the perspective of the political power!  " "Do you think there is much difference between the two?  In a sense, the church is an organization no less important than the secular government.  Their role in war is almost the same sometimes" Barrett shook his head gently. At this moment, the halfling wanderer suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two: "If you need to face  It's Lucia's army, so the best type of enemy-breaking arrows is humans.  However, I don¡¯t know if this type of arrows is in stock in the stronghold.  " Enemy-breaking arrows are powerful magic props for a single species. However, precisely because of their power, major organizations and regimes often have very strict restrictions on their production and sales. Among them, the wisdom of the crowds in the main plane  The enemy-defeating arrows of living creatures (such as humans, elves, dwarves) are particularly strictly controlled because once such props spread, they may affect the stability of the rule. Not all rulers are powerful.  Even if the high-level officials have such strength, they will be able to ignore the enemy's sniper attack. Therefore, in the human country, it is never possible to purchase the enemy's enemy.  It's an easy thing. Although it's much simpler than buying the 'Elf-Breaking Arrow' in the Elf Kingdom, this is only relatively speaking, although with the strength of the 'Dragon God of Good' church, there is definitely a way to get it.  Legal sales channels, but with so many people and so little rice, it may not be easy to grab noodles. ¡°The family will prepare some supplies for us before we go out, and I¡¯ll ask if I can get a few for you.  'Destroy the enemy arrow (human)'!  Of course, don¡¯t give up on the ¡®Dragon God of Good¡¯ church.  Barrett paused as he said this, "If it doesn't work, just go to the black market and look for it. If the price is higher, just go higher!"  It's better than the guy who didn't take advantage of it when the time came.  " From Barrett's standpoint, words like 'go to the black market to solve the problem' should not be brought up in the Bolum territory. After all, such a shady channel, even if there is really a Bolum family behind it.  Among them, it should not be said on the table that the Bolum family values ??order, and the underground order in the territory is naturally included. Since it cannot be completely eliminated, controlling it has become an inevitable choice for this family.  The few people in front of him are all players, so Barrett naturally doesn't have as many taboos as when there are aborigines around. However, in order to ensure that his normal performance is more natural and flawless, he usually does it when there are no outsiders.  , and is still very restrained, because Barrett knows that he is not a natural actor. If he speaks smoothly in front of the players, who knows whether he will leak it in front of the aborigines in the future?  , to prevent micro-duties, start with small things. "Let me try both sides!"  But captain, you'd better prepare a purchase fee of at least 1500 gold coins for me.  " Noodles made a brief estimate in his mind and reported such a figure. After hearing this, Barrett immediately turned to look at the financial director in the team. Clematis nodded: "If it is  With this little money, we can still get it.  But according to my understanding of the black market, 1500 gold coins can¡¯t buy just a few pieces of ¡®breaking money¡¯.It¡¯s a human being, right?  " "It's true that you can't buy much, but the quantity they can provide is also very limited.  "The halfling wanderer jumped off the chair as he spoke, "So if these funds can be provided internally, it will be enough.  I even doubt whether the 1500 gold coins can be spent all is a problem.  " In preparation before leaving, the players of 'Blooded Ash Flower' spent a lot of energy on purchasing supplies. Although the Bolum family promised to provide supplies and a considerable number of consumables, the players still insisted on everything  "Barrett, you did a great job, you actually got 10 'Enemy-Breaking Arrows' from the Earl.  Coupled with the five sticks I got, there should be no problem with this mission.  "Noodles, who was sitting in the caravan, said to Barrett with great satisfaction. As the caravan's ruts left a mark in the snow, Barrett also turned around at this time: "You have to take good care of yourself.  Use these arrows.  I¡¯m afraid our burden this time is not light!  " Although the number of 15 'Enemy-Breaking Arrows' is not many, not every enemy needs to use 'Enemy-Breaking Arrows' to deal with it. From the perspective of the military, only truly elite captains can achieve this level  The value of the remaining ordinary soldiers is just right with the ordinary crossbow arrows made by the blacksmith. In fact, in addition to destroying the enemy arrows, the players also got two cans of alchemical plasters that are equivalent to fatal treatment (unlike potions, this special one).  The healing effect can be adjusted according to the amount of ointment used) and a scroll of group rejuvenation. The total value of the rare item consumables is about 4,000 gold coins. In addition to the "Enemy-Breaking Arrow" requested by Barrett,  They are basically recovery props. It can be seen from this that the family hopes to ensure the lives of the participants to the greatest extent. It also proves that the Bolum family's risk assessment of this mission is not low.  The team's baggage team just stopped and stopped on the business road due to the weather. However, with reasonable arrangements and rich experience, the team's progress was not slow. Of course, according to Barrett's point of view, the situation in front of them was not too slow.  As a baggage team, this team is also responsible for the normal business of the caravan. Of course, from the perspective of disguise, this approach can often have good results, but it also requires a certain price to be paid in terms of speed.  However, from the perspective of Boreham releasing so many smoke bombs to increase the difficulty of local intelligence, this should also be regarded as part of the tactical misdirection. At the same time, along the way, Barrett seems to have discovered that it is not just Boler.  The Mu family has a caravan going south at this time. Whether there are people carrying out the same mission as himself among the caravans in other territories has been a question that Barrett has been paying attention to for this period of time.  It seems that Barrett, who had doubts in advance, did have a lot of doubts. But if he didn't have such colored glasses from the beginning, it might not be easy to find the problems. (To be continued.  )8
