    As time passed day by day, the forward fortress in front of him was stuffed with more and more supplies. The transport convoy trekking from the rear never stayed in the fortress for more than three days.  Although most of the civilians and soldiers wanted to stay in the house longer, they had to get away from the stove under the officer's whip.  After unloading the baggage, the light carriage quickly drove back towards the hinterland of the Kingdom of Lucia.  However, 3-4 days after the previous transport team set off on its way back, a second transport team would arrive at the fortress during this freezing time.  As for the big soldiers in the fortress who were sent to the frontier, no matter how slow they were, they understood the fate that was about to follow (according to the tradition of the Kingdom of Lucia, such plans would not be notified to the underground big soldiers before taking action.  ).  For a moment, even the players who were secretly observing in the woods seemed to feel the strange atmosphere.  ¡®In the past few days, the convoys have probably transported more than 100,000 pounds of supplies.  Unless the fortress in front of you has an unusually large-capacity cellar, including the original supplies, it should already be at its storage limit to ensure normal operation.  ¡¯ Barrett, who was well aware of the situation in front of him, immediately understood that Lucia¡¯s preparations for the war were already in place, at least in the fortress in front of him.  The general volume of a fortress on the surface is not difficult for knights to judge based on observation and experience.  But it¡¯s hard to say what¡¯s under the ground.  Cellar for storing supplies has always been a necessary facility for all fortresses.  However, generally speaking, the volume of these underground facilities is not very large.  Because the weight of the fortress is staggering, it poses a great challenge to the foundation.  If you want to build a huge storage space underground, you will inevitably invest a lot of money in the city wall columns to ensure the structural strength.  Most of the time, such an approach is very uneconomical. With the financial situation of the Kingdom of Lucia, the possibility of investing a lot of resources in this area is very slim.  As for using strange objects such as dimensional bags, in the face of such huge supplies, the funds required are also an astronomical figure.  And every time the supply news was delivered, Barrett promptly conveyed it back to the Bolum Territory.  Unfortunately, there are no other instructions from the territory other than a message to be careful about the lycanthrope.  I don't know if they have the wisdom or if they can't analyze the accurate information and put it aside for the time being.  When Barrett returned to the secret room again, he lay down directly on the quilt.  The surveillance work during this period of time brought great mental pressure to him. Although his physical fatigue recovered quickly, he was always depressed in that regard.  The best solution now is to stop thinking and empty your mind, and use sweet dreams to temporarily dispel the many worries.  Every player in the "Blood-Stained Ash Flower" situation has it, but they can all vent it through other means.  Only Barrett, in order to ensure the emotions of his teammates, as the captain, he could not show any discomfort or weakness in front of the players.  Fortunately, these days of boring, depressing and extremely stressful days are finally over.  With the fluttering flag and after completing the material preparation, the army from the interior of Lucia finally appeared in front of the players.  Lalu immediately sent a message to her companions in the secret hall.  Unfortunately, these soldiers moved much faster and more nimbly than the baggage carriages, so that by the time Barrett arrived, they had already disappeared behind the fortress gate.  Even the suspension bridge has been lifted.  However, the messy footprints on the ground in front of the fortress have not been buried by the falling snowflakes from the sky, leaving some traces of the huge team before.  After observing the situation, Barrett immediately turned his attention to Mao Zai: "What's the specific situation?" "I just made a rough calculation, it should be three centurions! By the way, the officer in charge of them  ." At this point, Lalu scratched her ears, "But their equipment doesn't seem to be very good. Most of their leather armors seem to have been repaired more than once, even from this distance.  The layers of armor can be distinguished. As for the weapons, they are too far away to see clearly, but the styles don't seem to be uniform.  "Regular army?" "Judging from Lucia's tradition, those guys are not ace troops at best." Barrett smiled at this, "'Gray animals' have always been their practice.  But although the exchange ratio on the frontal battlefield has never been very good, the opponent did actually use this tactic to crush a lot of enemies. " "Barrett, you are saying that Lucia's regular army is equipped with that.  Equipment?" Lalu even omitted the final sound of 'meow' at this time.  Fortunately, he covered his mouth in time to prevent the sound from spreading out of the woods.  And Barrett isHe nodded: "With Lucia's financial situation, it has to support so many troops, and at the same time, it has to face layers of fuel jams from bureaucrats at all levels. It is not easy to achieve this level. Those who dug from the warehouse  Although the equipment that comes out does look a bit embarrassing, it can actually have a certain effect. Regardless of their true appearance, they are actually much stronger than the soft-footed shrimps in the Cruze Kingdom. You must know that the combat effectiveness is determined.  It¡¯s not just weapons and equipment.¡± ¡°Oh! In other words, this will be the type of enemy we need to face later, nya?¡± Lalu stretched out his claws and scratched his beard.  Barrett patted Mao Zai's head and said, "Yes! This is the enemy we need to face. By the way, remember to use this when you come back. Who knows if there is anything hidden among those guys?"  If the other party traces the scent of the lycanthrope group, we will be passive. I will dismantle the wooden bridge now, so that it will not be too late if there is an accident."  What Lalu was given was an alchemical ointment called 'Animal Repellent'.  Not only can it mask the user's own smell, it can also cause creatures with a sensitive sense of smell to secrete a large amount of mucus to block their nostrils after smelling the ointment.  So as to achieve the purpose of driving away wild animals.  Of course, intelligent creatures with a sensitive sense of smell are different from beasts.  As long as they have enough perseverance, they can endure the torture in the nasal cavity and use it as a trace to track.  However, this smell disperses quickly in the air, and the current environment in the cold wind will not become another target for the enemy to track.  Barrett, blessed with the 'Snow Boots', moves extremely fast, and his strong physique gives him endurance far beyond ordinary people.  After running almost non-stop, Barrett arrived at the only bridge on the nearby trade road in less than two-thirds of the estimated time.  The various parts of the wooden bridge in front of you are neatly spliced ??together. The wood seems to have not been peeled, but it can last for hundreds of years without deformation.  Moreover, the specially processed rattan bridge has greatly improved its load-bearing capacity, so that even large freight carriages can still pass through.  However, this kind of craft is obviously not common in the Western Continent. According to the information in Barrett's memory, it should come from the handiwork of a group of elves.  In a sense, it can be regarded as a quite valuable historical relic.  But it is a pity that today Barrett will destroy this work of art in the eyes of some people. Everything has to make way for war.  Although the river in front of us is less than 50 feet wide.  The river water only touched Barrett's waist. Of course, if it had been replaced by noodles, anvils or lalu, it would have definitely covered his head.  But even less intense flowing water will still affect the actions of soldiers at this depth.  Although the river is frozen now, the ice is very thin in the south like Cruze Kingdom.  Accept that if you step on it, it will definitely crack and collapse.  In this environment, it is impossible to cross the river directly on ice floes without using supernatural powers.  What's more, the near-freezing cold water is torture to a person's health in this environment, and may even destroy a team at once.  What¡¯s more important is that people can still pass through, but carriages carrying baggage cannot forcibly wade through the water.  Therefore, if the Lucians wanted to maintain the advance of the front, they had to choose a location nearby to build a pontoon bridge.  That must have a considerable effect on slowing down their advance.  "Bang" Under the cold light brought by the "Broken Peak", a wooden pole that was at least as thick as the mouth of a bowl was cut in two by Barrett.  Relying on his profound skills in Shiryu style, Barrett has transformed into a 'demolition master' at this time.  The giant blade in his hand was like a table knife used to cut through tofu, cutting the wood without even bringing out any wood chips or residue.  "Bang! Bang!" With such a sound, the wooden bridge that had damaged key parts of its structure collapsed suddenly.  The bridge suddenly collapsed in the middle and instantly shattered the ice on the river, causing splashes of water.  Then under the influence of the flowing 'glacier', these two pieces of debris, which were not too small, began to move towards the downstream of the river.  "Ha!" Barrett exhaled softly and picked up the 'Broken Peak' again, cleaning up all the remaining parts on the shore.  Then he turned around and rushed towards his final destination.  When he returned to the secret hall, he once again wrote a detailed report to Leader Bolum.  Then the whole person was finally freed from the mechanized working state.  Clematis, who noticed that Barrett had regained some of his vitality, asked: "How is the situation over there? The news about SMS is so crude that we can't even outline in our minds what should happen.  "Don't worry so much, it's just a team of more than 300 people, and it's not Lucia's ace team. Even if we can't win, we should be able to run away."  Barrett immediately encouraged his companions when he spoke, "And?Our task is not to confront the opponent's entire army head-on.  With the Mage's Secret Hall, we can move around at any time, play hide and seek, and sneak their scouts.  " "But now I'm still a little worried about the issue of lycanthropes.  I never imagined that someone could really control them on a large scale.  I just don¡¯t know what kind of lycanthrope Lucia will deploy in the army?  "Rierlie even bit her finger as she said this. "The group of lycanthropes is very repelled by other intelligent creatures.  So most of the time they tend to hide their true identity when interacting with others.  Barrett paused as he said this, "So for the statistics of that kind of ethnic group, it's never been possible to get accurate data."  " "When I was in the church, I heard someone say it.  There are a lot of werewolves in Lucia Kingdom.  Werebears and quilboars occasionally appear.  But there is no news about the Tiger Man.  " Speaking of this, Clematis seemed to suddenly think of something, and then laughed out loud: "As for the Khajiit, after Lulu used the effect of the Guardian Cat, he seemed to imagine that he was moving closer to the Khajiit.  If you encounter such enemies then, you might be able to trick them.  " After hearing this, Rielli glared at her friend angrily. You must know that the current topic of the 'Guardian Cat' is a scar on Lalu. Although Catboy is not here for the time being, it can be overcome  Lamatis¡¯s talk still aroused dissatisfaction from Rierli: ¡°Don¡¯t worry!  This problem will be solved sooner or later.  At the worst possible time, I'll take a trip to Lalu's birthplace.  "Barrett stepped forward and patted Rielli on the shoulder to comfort him. As the first batch of reinforcements arrived, the fortress seemed to become lively immediately. The most intuitive thing for players is,  The originally lazy city guard actually started to work seriously. Fortunately, when the players saw it before, they were required to follow the highest standards of both light and dark sentries, so they were not able to do much in the daily surveillance work.  But just three days later, another team seemed to appear on the horizon where Barrett looked. As they continued to approach, Barrett discovered the weirdness of these people.  The man looked very strong, muscular and hairy, with very thick hair and a strange ivory color. Although the 5-6 people behind him were not as tall as him, they were all more or less tall.  They can be regarded as strong men. What's more important is that both the big men in the front and the members in the back who look like ordinary people are all wearing simple clothes or leather robes that are easy to put on, repair and replace.  The previous Lucia soldiers have a certain degree of armor protection (To be continued.)
