    Two days had passed since the battle under the fortress, and the wind and snow from the north blew across the land again.  The reed flowers falling in pieces from the clouds enveloped the entire sky.  In the "whooshing" strong wind, they were like a string of beaded curtains, blocking everyone's sight.  The snow on the mountain was blown by the wind and fell in flakes, as if it was going to completely bury the hut in the mountain col.  The roaring airflow outside the door would occasionally hang frozen ice crystals on the window, like coarse sand thrown by a giant, hitting the back glass of the window with a 'snap' sound.  Under this situation, even if the Kingdom of Lucia sent out air units, it could not complete the reconnaissance mission normally.  And the players are also unable to go out in this damn weather.  The cat can only brag and fart while looking at the falling snow outside the window.  But when I thought about the impact of this kind of weather on the enemy, the original depression in the room was immediately swept away.  Claudia said even more excitedly at this time: "Ah haha! Those Lucians are probably going to be furious this time. As long as it snows for a few more days, no matter what battle plan they originally made,  It¡¯s all going to be scrapped!¡± ¡°It¡¯s certain that the plan will change, but it¡¯s not necessary for an officer with a right mind to take the wind and snow into account when formulating a winter campaign plan.  There should be a lot of margin left, it is not so easy to be overwhelmed by such reasons." After seeing Claudia's gloating look, Barrett couldn't help but want to.  Hit her hard.  After hearing this, Claudia turned around and glared at Barrett: "Captain, you are serious, can't you make me happy?" "If you want to be happy, you should find other ways!  If someone in the team misjudges the situation because of what you said, it will be troublesome." When Barrett said this, he stretched his hand to his mouth and yawned twice.  At this time, Ellie also put down the book in her hand. She gently brushed her slightly messy hair away from her ears, then touched the down on Lalu's head with her hands and said, "Listen to Barrett.  When you say this, I think of it. Many professions can use spells to change the weather conditions in a region! Although the time and area of ??influence of a mage are limited each time, I think it can still be used during critical periods.  Those Lucia troops opened up enough window time. "Using manipulative weather to change the weather to create window time?" Barrett touched his chin and fell silent. After a while, he raised his head again: "This is the premise.  There must be enough casters, otherwise the affected area will be too small and it will be impossible to open up a far enough marching route. As for the duration, there is no need to worry. The duration of the spell would have been miserable if it were used by a druid.  If used, it has the opportunity to become an all-weather spell. "Weather control is a seventh-level spell shared by priests, druids, warlocks, and wizards. This spell allows the user to change the local weather, provided that the weather must be consistent with the local climate.  Seasons match.  Although it is impossible to replace the cold winter with the warm season of spring, it can still be done to drive away the wind and snow and let the sun clear (warm up).  This is very useful for marching and fighting and rescuing the poor in snow disasters.  However, with such a powerful effect, even the seventh ring has considerable limitations in its use.  The first is the long casting time of 10 minutes, and the subsequent continuous adjustment is also limited, which makes it destined not to be used as a convenient battlefield spell.  At the same time, the 2-mile radius of influence centered on the caster, although extremely effective in certain situations, has become difficult to use to save farming.  And its duration of 4-48 hours each time is enough for use in battles (it is more than enough considering the doubling effect when used by Druid).  Of course, if it is used to open a path forward in this blizzard, it has to be connected one spell after another. Who makes the range of influence of this thing be circular!  "According to what you said, Barrett, it is entirely possible for those Lucians to launch an attack on the Kingdom of Cruze while we are hiding from the blizzard!" Claudia immediately stood up from the bed when she thought of this.  "Then wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain?" "How can we say it was in vain?" Barrett shook his head gently, then turned over and lay down on the bed again: "The greater the scale of the war, the more  The competition for resources is even more intense. Our previous harassment of the Lucians has also consumed a considerable amount of their resources. This not only makes them have to spend time replenishing, but also has an impact on the overall reserves.  The latter impact may be only a drop in the bucket, but in many cases the outcome of the war is often changed because of this small difference. " "Well! In this kind of thing, you know weThese laymen cannot speak to you.  I'm not just letting you fool me.  "Claudia knew it was her fault, but in the end she was so stubborn. Then there was a series of pleasant laughter in the room. It was obvious that the remaining players really regarded this as a good show.  . But while the players were having a hard time, the Lucia Fortress, which had just experienced a tragic defeat, was quite busy. Amid the commands from the grassroots officers, some of the strong men were training in formation.  On the walkways on the top of the city wall, some are in the cloisters of the city, and some are in the important small squares of the fortress. These Lucian soldiers have to train hard, and if they are not careful, the officer who is not in a good mood will whip him.  Beat them up. Those Lucia soldiers who are preparing for the war are not like Barrett and others. They can just leave after the trouble. What's even more troublesome is that the battle the day before yesterday caused not only the Royal Guards but also the others.  The two teams of champion riders suffered heavy losses. At the same time, they repeatedly rubbed the morale of the local troops to the ground. Not only did the rangers, who were originally pretty good, now have a serious lack of trust in each other.  Fear of the enemy. Coupled with the fact that the action plan is getting closer, the disbandment and reorganization work cannot be delayed, so the commanders here started to reshape the troops while writing letters to the royal capital.  Even in such an environment, they could not stop their determination to keep their positions. Of course, for those Lucia soldiers who did not participate in yesterday's battle, although the training after reorganization was hard, the days in the snowstorm were actually pretty good.  Yes, in order to stabilize people's hearts, the stingy commanders rarely provided food to the soldiers. But for these big guys, as long as they have salt and meat, they don't care about the extra trouble if they can have another drink.  On the other hand, this abundant food supply made the Lucia officers hate Barrett and his entourage because they originally had this military supply.  They could withhold a lot of it and stuff it into their wallets. In the eyes of most of them, it was already considered their property, but now they had to spend it quickly in order to keep their jobs as much as possible.  . In the eyes of a few of these stingy men, it was completely like bleeding them. But let alone bleeding, they had to do it themselves even if they were cutting the flesh. Even the lowest-ranking officers knew that they had done it in the past.  The reason why I can make money happily is because of the power brought by my position. If I lose all this, the happy days before will really be gone forever.  No matter how much you invest in your position now, you will have the opportunity to get it back in the future. Although for the officers at the bottom, it is painful to have to spit out the military supplies that were already in their stomachs. But in the eyes of the higher-ups of the fortress.  Here, the losses in this area are just drizzle. In order to maintain their positions, the wealth they consume in operating the royal family and the military is far more than what is eaten by the soldiers.  They kept writing letters on their desks, and the snow-like letters were delivered to the military and political center of the Kingdom of Lucia through various natural and supernatural channels.  Only one person broke quills one after another in annoyance, but failed to leave any writing on the parchment on the desk.  The Viscount Ulyanov, who was directly responsible, had no intention of participating in that huge transaction at the moment.  Because he knew that the trouble he had caused could not be easily solved with money.  Unless there are big figures in Lucia's domestic political circles or the military who are willing to help, they can't give it away even if they have money. Defeat is one thing, and forcing the mage group to desert is also a major ********.  Don¡¯t look at it, there seemed to be many people in the military department who supported Viscount Ulyanov¡¯s plan for the mage group.  But that's the kind of help you can get only when your actions go smoothly.  After the current situation is reversed, those who were originally involved to some extent are the first group of people to stay away.  And Viscount Ulyanov even had to guard against them, who knew the best about the situation, from adding insult to injury at this time.  After all, in the military, the rule is that the victor is not condemned.  But once you are not the winner, all kinds of troubles that were originally hidden in the shadows will pop up and cause trouble for you at the first time.  Of course, if there is anyone who is unaffected by this turmoil, it is the transcendent Knight Elbro.  In the military and political system of the Kingdom of Lucia, those formal knights often have high positions but little power.  They have extremely high honors, generous annuities, and their own manors and fields.  However, he usually does not have the authority to lead troops in combat. This is very different from Nohan who still follows the knight system.  In the army, they are more??It is used to deal with the opposing knights, rather than participating in the battle with ordinary soldiers.  In a sense, these people are more like a just-in-case countermeasure rather than a powerful weapon that can destroy the enemy.  Just like this in the wind and snow, the two forces that had just fought against each other not long ago became peaceful.  Several physics professionals from the Wilderness Gang had to spend a lot of time cleaning up the snow that was pushed at the entrance of the cave every day.  Otherwise, within a day or two, the snow will completely block the exit of the cave.  And just like Clematis suggested before, every time it was time to eat, Ms. Vicari would come with a big pot to hold the food.  In this way, even if the other party brought out a lot of storable ingredients from the cave every day that the players did not have, Claudia and Noodles still did not look good on those who forced themselves to eat.  But from Barrett¡¯s perspective, this situation is something he is happy to see.  Due to their own storage space, all the players carried this time were jerky, bacon, noodles, and a small amount of pickles and nuts, which were the convenience foods of this era.  Some of the vegetables that were still there have long been used up.  At this time, the potatoes, carrots, onions and other ingredients sent by the aborigines can be regarded as filling the gaps for the players.  After 4 days, the heavy snow falling from the sky finally stopped, but the cold air coming from the depths of the ice sheet made even the fireballs in the sky change color due to freezing, showing a sense of emptiness and desolation.  Barrett pushed out the door, looked at the snow that was two layers thicker than before, and exhaled a white breath: "In such an environment, even if the Lucians are proficient in snow warfare, it will cost a lot."  It only takes extra strength. It seems that at least the weather is on our side." "Barrett, don't be so hasty in jumping to conclusions! In case we have been avoiding the snow for a few days, Lucia has already sent out troops.  What should we do if the army occupies the nearby Cruze land?" Claudia, who has never been able to find a way to refute Barrett, is still a little bit reluctant to let his wishful woman be cautious!  Sometimes it is difficult to explain with logic.  Looking back at his companions in the room, Barrett smiled without anger: "After the last battle, the army in the Lucia Fortress may not be able to enter the battlefield in a short time.  They have to wait for the rear to replenish them. With the bad weather in the past few days, even if the message was delivered instantly, the mobilization and transfer of the army is not that easy. The more people involved, the more troublesome it is.  And if Lucia really took any action, the other side of the territory should have warned us through the communication gem! There is no way there is no news at all." (~^~)
