    It has been mentioned before that the royal family of the Kingdom of Lucia changed due to the war more than 200 years ago.  And such a huge change cannot be just a competition between those two families.  The huge storm of dynasty change can be said to have stirred up the political arena of the entire Kingdom of Lucia, which was already weak due to defeat.  Many families that were originally aloof fell completely, and the new successors thrived on their corpses.  And the giant horned deer flag wrapped with ivy is the lucky one among the crows. The Brakpool family took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to successfully transform from a local powerhouse into one of the giants that can influence Lucia's political situation.  Since then, these new vested interests have worked harder than ever to suppress their former counterparts.  What I fear is that in the future, under the operation of these people, I will follow in the footsteps of my predecessors.  This is not only the decision of the Blackpool family, but also the common will of the political giants in Lucia. In the previous storm that lasted for several years, whether it was the latecomers like the Blackpool family, they were still standing.  The old nobles all left indelible memories.  In order to ensure that similar times do not happen again in the future, they began to suppress their past allies.  After all, no one dares to say that they will be able to survive another political storm like that.  Among them, the Praque Plag family, which is the newly known as Lucia, has made great development, but the expansion and politics of various bright guns and dark arrows have also laid a hidden danger for the family.  Especially in terms of military affairs, the only thing the opponent can really use is the light cavalry that Barrett just mentioned. The remaining private soldiers cannot be called elite at all.  Of course, even if they are not elites, the great nobles still take good care of their 'swords'.  No matter how short-sighted people are regarding losses, they will not abandon the force on which their own security depends.  Therefore, no matter how bad the other soldiers of the Blackpool family are, they are still more effective than ordinary local armed forces.  So even though Barrett seemed to be disdainful, he was already on alert in his heart.  Of course, on the other hand, he just hoped that he was overthinking.  Barrett, who arranged a vigil after nightfall, glanced at the halfling rogue: "Noodles, you are now a spell caster! If you don't sleep, it will also have a great impact on the next day's spells." "Me? A spell caster?  "Barrett, you should know that I can only use a few spells every day!" The halfling wanderer smiled rather self-deprecatingly, "So the sleep problem does not affect me very much."  Don't underestimate those two one-link spells. At critical moments, they may be able to determine the success or failure of the battle." Barrett knelt down and patted Noodles on the shoulder. "Anyway, the three of us here can work in shifts.  It's easy enough. Just go and have a good rest after setting up the trap! It was indeed the right choice to transfer Anvil back from Team 2. "Captain, it sounds like my greatest use is to keep watch."  ." The dwarf, who had not been very talkative since the reunion, rarely spoke now.  After hearing this, Barrett turned to look at the dwarf in embarrassment: "I didn't say that, you are completely too sensitive." Although he said so, in order to appease the dwarf's emotions, Barrett  It is better to arrange him to be on the first shift. At this time, normal people are not very sleepy and are in a better mental state on duty.  In addition, after the shift handover, you can have most of the night's rest time, which can be said to be the most relaxing arrangement on duty.  The long night became a thing of the past in the dawn.  After standing at the last post, Barrett stretched his muscles and then lit the fireplace in the room to prepare a hot breakfast for his companions.  A night of peace only proves the peace of the past, not the security of the future.  At the same time, players cannot stop their reconnaissance work on Tallinn Castle, and no matter how careful they are in continuous aerial reconnaissance, there will always be clues discovered by the opponent.  If you are crushed to death by that time and are chased by the opponent, there is a high probability that a tough battle will be fought.  Barrett didn't believe that after the last lesson, those guys would still foolishly fall into the trap they set.  In this way, while monitoring the enemy's movements and guarding against enemy attacks, the players carefully carried out their tasks.  Until one day Anvil suddenly pushed open the door of the secret hall: "Something is wrong. When I was just about to leave the forest, I noticed that there seemed to be Lucians on the other side of the river." "There were Lucians on the other side of the river? Then they saw you.  Are you gone?" Clematis immediately raised his voice and grabbed his weapon.  You must know that once the whereabouts of Anvil are exposed, those Lucians will probably follow.  And with the dwarves' naturally short legs, it was impossible to get rid of them.  Then the battle is about to break out.  Understand that the pastor is hereAnvil, who was worried about something, didn't look very good at this time: "I'm not very clear about this. After all, I'm not very good at hiding or anti-tracking." "It doesn't matter whether I prepare for the battle first! Even so!  We don't want to fight immediately, and our camp needs to be moved to prevent the other party from attacking." At this point, Barrett touched the ring in his hand, and then, fully armed, he began to give orders: "Noodles, Clema.  "Tiss, you two quickly follow me to take a look around. We need to determine what the Lucians are planning to do." The few people who quickly completed the preparations immediately rushed to the location informed by the anvil, and the rest.  At this time, several companions began to prepare for the "moving" work.  Relying on the function of the ¡®Snow Boots¡¯, the three players ran fast in the woods.  Then we quickly arrived at the edge of the woods. Barrett, who was leading the way, waved his arm and stopped: "That's almost it. Let's start to move up carefully now. Don't let the other party find our traces." After cautiously moving forward,  The players saw the figure at the other end of the river through the sparse woods.  It should be said that there are about 30 Lucians who appear in the players' sight.  Most of them had already dismounted, looking at the empty river and whispering to each other. It was obvious that Barrett's destruction of the bridge had now seriously affected their plans.  "Breastplates, scimitars and compound short bows, these guys are equipped with standard light cavalry! I wonder if they are the famous ones under the Duke of Blackpool." Barrett muttered in his heart when he said this.  To: 'If so, then this battle will have to be fought.  But if you can achieve something, the rewards from the family should be indispensable!  ' And Noodles on the side has already picked up his crossbow: "After all, that famous army shouldn't be so important to us now! Barrett, can you see what they are doing now?" "It looks like  It doesn¡¯t seem like we are looking for a way to cross the river again.¡± Barrett paused at this, ¡°Can you two read lips? If you are able, try lip reading now?¡±  Ah! I do have skills in this area, but I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve used them much.¡± Noodles said uncertainly, ¡°So if something goes wrong, don¡¯t blame me.¡± Then Clematis suddenly appeared.  It's like discovering a fun toy: "Speaking of lip reading, I seem to be able to do it after I advance to the 'Golden Eye Messenger'! How about we try both. Then we can compare." "What are you doing?  Want to compete?" Barrett, who touched his chin, also became interested.  But then his bad taste was noticed by Clematis and Noodles. They said almost in unison: "It's just communication." "Then please start working as soon as possible. Didn't you realize that their conversation is about to end?"  ?" Barrett immediately reminded, lest the two people join forces to attack him.  Hearing this, Noodles and Clematis immediately ignored Barrett and cast their sights on the Lucians on the other side.  Then words like ¡®wood¡¯ and ¡®repair¡¯ came out of Noodle¡¯s mouth, and a series of words like ¡®craftsman¡¯ and ¡®time¡¯ appeared in Clematis¡¯s mouth.  ¡®Are those Lucians preparing to build a bridge?  In other words, are they preparing to launch a war in the middle of winter?¡± Barrett frowned and then felt relieved.  Although the best time for war is autumn and winter, the most suitable time is often after the autumn harvest and before the snow falls.  In this way, it will not be invisible to agricultural production, and it will also be acceptable to roads.  But if the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, both the march of the troops and the logistics supplies will be greatly affected.  This is quite detrimental to the aggressive side.  But this time the Lucians couldn¡¯t wait.  It was already autumn when the civil war in the Kingdom of Cruze broke out. By the time the Kingdom of Lucia was ready for war, the cold air coming from the north caused the heavy snow to fall continuously.  However, even if the door is closed due to heavy snow, it cannot stop the determination of the Lucians.  Because for them, now is the best opportunity to wash away the shame of the Kingdom of Cruze. This country has been plunged into civil war, and it is absolutely difficult to resist Lucia's overwhelming offensive.  Of course, what¡¯s more important is that compared to other kingdoms on the Western Continent, the Lucians are quite good at winter warfare.  If they conduct field battles in this kind of environment, they can still take advantage to some extent.  In this way, it can also make up for some of the disadvantages caused by winter marching.  ¡°About ten minutes later, the soldiers at the other end of the river got on their horses one by one, and then turned their horses¡¯ heads towards Tallinn Fort.  At this time, Noodles and Clematis also stopped their work.  Immediately afterwards, the halfling wanderer made a gesture of invitation, which seemed to beSignaling ¡®ladies first¡¯.  After Clematis saw this, he spoke unceremoniously: "Those Lucians seem to be discussing the construction of a bridge. They have searched up and down the river. It seems that they found this place.  It¡¯s a suitable place to build a bridge. However, the other party seems to have some internal conflicts, and there seems to be a disagreement about the type of bridge to be built. "Is it really going to be rebuilt on the original site? "Noodles, do you have anything to add?  Leiter immediately understood the other party's plan, which was almost the same as his previous guess.  The halfling rogue then said: "I know roughly the same as the priest. However, the other party has similar differences about building bridges, mainly on the time it takes to build. By the way! The other party just said that they want to resolve it as soon as possible.  Drop the nearest town" "The construction of a bridge with a span of dozens of feet is not a small project in the game.  To complete it not only requires a lot of manpower and material resources, but also represents a large consumption of time.  In particular, the impact of the latter on military operations is too great, so some of the Lucians want to build a simple bridge for survival.  However, there are also opponents of this proposal. Those Lucians are worried about whether the simple bridge can bear the load of heavy carriages.  If that doesn't work, the time-consuming and laborious work done before will only be able to solve the preliminary actions.  If a large corps fights in the future, they may not even be able to provide supplies.  And once the bridge is completed, the cost of strengthening it may be greater than building a new one.  Those Lucians are not willing to adversely affect the entire war situation just for a short-term benefit.  When the time comes, how to calculate the merits and demerits will be entirely left to the hands of others.  These guys are never willing to take such a big risk.  "The other party wants to capture the nearby town as soon as possible?" Barrett, who muttered something, frowned, "Is it really that fast to get those wild bears? Or did they say something outside of the area we are responsible for monitoring?  , The Lucians in other areas have already started to take action, or have even succeeded. " "I don't think it has succeeded, otherwise the Bolum family should have sent a notice long ago." Clematis patted him from behind.  Barrett's shoulder, "But according to Noodles, they are indeed in a hurry. In other words, other areas are moving quickly even if they haven't taken action yet." "But even building a simple bridge here is nothing.  It's an easy thing!" Noodles seemed to come to help, "No matter how hard they try, our plan will be ruined." "It depends on the price those Lucians are willing to pay.  If they find the right spellcaster, they will have enough time." At this point, Barrett turned around.  And the second part of what he didn't say was, 'But for most financial officials, those consumed spells are definitely a nightmare.  ¡¯ (To be continued.)
