    Lucia's specialty ponies have thick limbs and much larger hooves than ordinary horses.  Coupled with the tapestry-like down, this animal has far better mobility than ordinary horses in wind and snow.  Even the pony's natural speed disadvantage is not obvious in this situation.  Behind the cowhide traction ropes of these ponies, a sledge loaded with goods slid along the snow as the horses moved forward.  Among the two flat indentations, a lot of snow melted by the pressure immediately turned into crystal thin ice wood, iron ropes, hemp ropes, stone bricks, and special winter adhesives.  All kinds of materials from the rear were transported to the front line in this way.  Immediately afterwards, the craftsmen who came from Lucia carried many positioning and surveying tools and busily drew drawings near the original site of the wooden bridge.  But now the players no longer have the opportunity to observe nearby as easily as before.  In order to ensure this operation, Lucia placed checkpoints on both sides of the river, and a group of light cavalry patrolled back and forth.  If it weren¡¯t for the reconnaissance capabilities provided by the bronze flying dragon statue, the players would probably be blind at this time.  Because of the fear of being discovered by the other party, everyone in the Blood-Stained Gray Flower didn't even dare to hide in the bushes and observe closely.  I was afraid that I would have to face the enemy's pursuit if I was not careful.  ¡®Is that laying a stone foundation?  ¡¯ Barrett, who was sitting on the bronze flying dragon, looked at the workers who were digging the frozen soil by the river with shovels, and this thought suddenly came to his mind.  He then turned his attention to the commander at the edge of the construction site who was holding a drawing and giving orders, as well as the craftsmen processing stone bricks aside.  Those leading masonry masters are responsible for supervising the construction of bridges. These guys usually have no idea where to work wherever there is masonry business.  And under every master mason who can stand alone, there are often a different number of masons attached to them.  Although these masons do not have the ability to design and lead a project, they are all highly skilled and can cut rocks into any shape as required.  At the lowest level below them are some types of workers called rough stone masonry. Their main task is to cut ingredients into preliminary shapes and replace the tedious work of stonemasons in preparation.  Looking at the increasing number of camps along the river near the construction site and the increasingly complete defense arrangements, Barrett realized that it would be very difficult to stop the Lucian people's project.  At the same time, because of the large number of stones placed in the open air, Barrett even doubted whether these Lucians wanted to build a permanent stone bridge.  Fortunately, the snowy winter is not suitable for construction. The hard frozen soil and the snow that will cover it overnight have seriously hindered the progress of the project. Even Lucia's craftsmen who are experienced in dealing with this factor are unable to  Completely contrary to the laws of nature.  Unless someone is willing to provide supernatural help, but not everyone is willing to bear that kind of investment.  But even so, the stone foundation of the bridge is still being perfected day by day.  Looking at the base that was now beginning to take shape, Barrett realized that this kind of thing could not continue to be delayed.  He lifted the reins in his hand and saw the double flying dragon taking a turn in mid-air before landing at the other end of the deep forest.  Barrett turned it back into a statue and immediately rushed to the players' new location on foot.  After discovering that the Lucians were active near the river, the players chose to relocate urgently and packed up the 'Mage's Secret Hall' and moved it to the other end of the woods.  When the players returned to visit a few days later, they found that their original choice was correct. There were many footprints that did not belong to the players in the place where the secret hall was originally opened.  It's obvious that people from Lucia's side have been here before, and they won't be gone for too long.  Otherwise, even scattered light snow will be enough to cover up a large part of the footprints over time.  Although the illusion disguise that comes with the 'Mage's Secret Hall' is quite clever.  But Barrett didn't dare to pin all his safety on it.  If the Lucia patrol that came to investigate found something, it might not be too troublesome to deal with them.  But if the other party has prepared any alarm props, it will not be easy to stop them.  Although the last raid gave the Lucians a blow, the players (especially Barrett) did not take it lightly.  Having been in the game for some time, they understood that the Lucians, who had failed in the last battle, would definitely sum up their experience and try to find a way to break the situation.  But it will not be easy for players to lure others into the trap as easily as before.  Barrett, who stopped in front of the door and shook off the snow on his body, pushed the giant rock, and then entered the house and closed the door habitually: "Guys! Don't you think those Lucians are too comfortable during this period?  Is anyone planning to cause trouble for them?¡±&nbsp"Barrett, have you finally decided to take action? My sledgehammer is already so thirsty." Claudia immediately jumped up from her bed after hearing those words.  But Barrett retorted without appreciation at all: "It would be more appropriate for you to use your words at that time. As for the sledgehammer, use it for self-defense." Although she has a violent heart, Claudia has both attributes and skills.  The difficulty in supporting the role of a violent true master does not mean that she will not be able to wield a mace and rush into the front.  It's just that her performance in this kind of work is not satisfactory, and it would be more helpful to the battle if she concentrates on chanting the 'mantra'.  "Why did you suddenly decide to take action? Didn't you advocate temporarily avoiding Lucia's main force and focusing on monitoring their actions first?" Rielli, who put down the quill in her hand, was slightly embarrassed at this time.  asked curiously.  After pulling up a chair and sitting down, Barrett immediately spoke: "That's because the Lucians have now established an advance camp on the river bank. And there are not only Lucia soldiers in the camp, but also many  The craftsmen who came to build the bridge. In this case, as long as our attack is sudden enough and the noise is big enough, there is a great chance that the other party will cause chaos. " Although most of the craftsmen who built the bridge are very careful.  They are well equipped and travel around all year round, and they often have good skills. In this world where there is a wilderness outside the settlement and there are many monsters, if they don't measure two brushes, these craftsmen will not know how to use them.  Which monster's stomach.  But stragglers like them are completely different from regular troops. Especially when they are suddenly attacked, they are more likely to lose control of their emotions and collapse.  And it was precisely because of such potential loopholes that Barrett chose to take the risk.  When the balance of risk and return begins to shift, taking a risk may actually yield different rewards.  "A raid? But according to the news that was sent back before, even if a large number of invisibility scrolls are used, if it is snowing, the other party may see through it during the day." Clematis said this and tilted his head and stared.  Barrett asked, "You're not planning to take us on a night raid, are you? If that's the case, that would be quite interesting!" "Clematis, you're right,  This time I am preparing to launch a night attack." Then Barrett turned his attention to Rielli again, "And the spell you just learned from the Bolum family is very suitable for use at night.  Let¡¯s carry out the first wave of attacks!¡± Now that they have joined the Bolum family¡¯s camp, just as the earl specially reminded them, the players should use that channel to strengthen themselves as much as possible before traveling.  And Rielle relied on her original mage allowance and her own private money to copy several spells from Bolum's house that she had been coveting before.  One of these is very suitable for attacking the enemy's military camp at night. Obviously, Barrett and others' tactical development will probably revolve around this spell.  "I understand what you mean. But even like this, it may not be able to ensure the success of the operation. After all, we have confirmed before that the famous light cavalry regiment of the Blackpool family is coming here this time. If you are entangled by them  If so, the trouble will be more than just one or two." Rielli was not stupid and immediately understood what Barrett was thinking.  But she still showed her worries.  After hearing this, Barrett nodded: "The risk here is indeed not small. But once it succeeds, the benefits are really great. What's more, we only need to cover you to the casting distance without being discovered by the opponent.  , then the plan is half successful. After you complete the spell, we will retreat. By then, the troops will be in chaos. It is still unknown whether the light cavalry of the Blackpool family can find us. " "If we are sneaking in front,  I think my 'Mind Eye Vision' and 'Silent Mage' Word Spirit can help, not necessarily the invisibility technique." Speaking of which, Claudia then added, "In the 'Delayed Word Spirit' technique.  With the help of the "Delayed Word Spirit" technique, the state of these two speaking spirits can last for 1 minute. I think it shouldn't be too difficult to maintain.  Increase it! Are you sure that there will be no mistakes due to failed spell casting?" Since they are such a companion, the players already know Claudia's professional abilities to some extent.  So after she put forward her suggestion, Noodles felt that it was a bit unreliable and couldn't help but ask questions.  After hearing this, Claudia turned her head and glared at the halfling wanderer when she left: "I haven't been completely idle during this period, so I can guarantee this." "Then tonight we will  Just get ready and see if you can get some for those Lucians.block.  "After saying this, Barrett began to draft a communication to Bolum. Because for a task like this, at least a rough application is required. This way, when the results are achieved, it will be easier to pass the military merits.  Of course, the main reason for doing this is because the players' teams lack recognized combat statistics personnel, and most of the night raids used hit-and-run tactics, mainly to destroy the opponent's engineering construction.  . Therefore, you may not be able to get much for killing the enemy. The main source of military merit is probably to destroy the enemy's tactics. Since ancient times, there has never been a specific criterion for judging this kind of military merit. That's why Barrett tries his best.  Be more prepared. After having a general outline of the night's actions, most players went to sleep in advance, thinking that they were preparing for a possible battle at night. It was a night with almost no light, under the sky.  The dim curtain covered the bright moon and stars, and also covered the eyes of most creatures. More importantly, the stealth battle plan formulated by the players this time did not allow the use of light sources. After all,  In such an environment, players are like fleas on a bald man¡¯s head, too conspicuous. ¡°One, two, one, one, two, keep up.  "The players who formed the queue began to slowly move towards the enemy camp with the three guides Anvil, Barrett and Rielly who had the ability of 'dark vision'. Although the woods on this dark night were indeed quite dark.  It is easy to get lost, but the experienced Barrett can still find the direction with the help of the compass. And thanks to the actions of the Lucians during this time, the last remaining animals in the forest have disappeared.  It also saved the players a lot of effort. As the dense woods in front of them began to become sparse, the players finally saw the fire pots and torches lighting up the Lucian camp in the distance.  They looked like dim fireflies dotted in twos and threes among the continuous shadows. At this moment, they were guiding lights for the players, and they immediately let go.  The formation, which was originally supporting each other, began its final trek towards its goal with the help of Claudia's two 'word spirits'. The Silent Mage blocked any sound that the players could make, and their mind, eyes and soul saw.  People always subconsciously ignore the existence of the subject. When she reached about 300 feet away from the camp, Claudia took the lead and stopped at this distance.  It ensured that her companions' bu could be replenished in time. At the same time, because the chanting had to make a certain sound, she had to stay further away to ensure her own safety. This was crucial to tonight's plan.  Important. (To be continued.)
