After being passively beaten at the beginning, Lucia Kingdom, a huge but slow-responsive giant, finally made a reasonable response. At this point, more and more troops and civilians flocked to the fortresses on the border. With the arrival of these powerful forces, the lives of the harassers sent by Nohan began to become more and more difficult. The dragnet-style integrated air-ground investigation makes it more and more difficult for the harassers to lurk. They are not locals coming from afar. Even with this period of familiarity, I still wasn't able to fully grasp the surrounding environment. Trying to play hide-and-seek with those Lucians here is no less than a dream. And once the stealth is lost and these attackers turn from dark to bright one by one, the offensive and defensive momentum will immediately change. Because most of these attackers were newbies, they did not have the strength to ignore the numerical gap. Even if they break through the encirclement, there will never be peace as long as they are still within the pursuit range of the Lucians. Long-term fighting and fatigue are enough to wear down the body and will of a warrior, and the caster temporarily lost strength early because he could not get enough long rest. In the end, he had to flee into the hinterland of the Cruze Kingdom in great embarrassment and haste. "However, such a large-scale military deployment by the Kingdom of Lucia has been hidden from the true people of the tribe. For example, the Bolum family seemed to have received the news before the opponent was on the road, so they immediately chose to leave this battlefield where it would be difficult for them to do anything in the future. This time, Bolum¡¯s family is not the only one from the Kingdom of Konokhan to come here to cause trouble for the Lucians and train their troops. Although those guys had received news of Lucia's military mobilization in advance, those lurkers performing combat missions on the border may not choose to retreat immediately like Barrett and others. Although there is no saying in the Western Continent that "the general will not accept the fate of the emperor", front-line combatants often have a certain degree of autonomy. In addition, 80% of the people who came to perform the mission this time were the younger generation of the family. Judging from the behavior of the people around Ms. Lilinda Bolum, everyone should understand the attitude of the other party. ¡°If their actions were frustrated, or those attackers who were fooling around with the Lucians would most likely choose to retreat in time. But those young people who have won consecutive victories and have a smooth journey are not so easy to choose to retreat because of that dangerous warning. Many of them suffered greatly as a result. And the players who chose to leave camp in the first moment had already penetrated deep into the local aristocratic area within the Cruz Kingdom. Even though the tracking technology of the Lucians is unparalleled in the world, they can't reach here. In line with the style of "a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall", Barrett once again led his companions to escape. Naturally, there is no need to say much about the upcoming snowfield trip. Although walking in ankle-deep snow is a very difficult thing for ordinary people. But for players with "Group Snow Boots", the forward speed alone can be faster than normal. And the potential threat of getting lost in the snow (just like the players' last own incident) has been eliminated because of the existence of the aboriginal druids. So much so that they left the land of the Cruz Kingdom and returned to the territory of Norhan at a faster speed than when they came. Although there is no potential threat on the following journey, both the players and the aboriginal team traveling together are rushing back to the Bolum Territory. They are all eager to receive the rewards of their actions from their families, and Understand your plan of action for next time. If it were normal times, the family would still focus on these branches. The assignment of tasks is often not too ordinary. It is rare to complete one and then immediately take on the second task. But now that the war is approaching, it's time for them to pay off after enjoying the shade of the big trees for a long time. Of course, for most people, this kind of thing will not be objectionable. After all, the Bolum family has always been highly regarded in their evaluation of the rewards for those tasks. Although completing these tasks inevitably involves certain risks, once the risks are equal to the rewards, in the eyes of outsiders, it is considered a good task that will break your head. After returning to the territory and settling down, Barrett and Ms. Lilinda Bolum went to report their work together. This was not because of their good relationship, but because the second phase of the task was completed by the two teams. Therefore, we must be together when debriefing to make everyone feel at ease. Riding in the business carriage used by the public, Barrett glanced at the half-elf girl sitting opposite. At this time, she rarely showed her quiet side, and her beautiful face actually looked a little charming under the slightly dim light. This huge contrast with previous perceptions almost made Barrett¡¯s head spin. In order to relieve his embarrassment, he asked softly: "Lilinda, regarding the mage's contract ceremony, maybeWhen can it start? " "Are you in a hurry? "Ms. Lilinda Bolham glanced at Barrett, then raised her left eyebrow: "If it's so urgent, we should be able to hold a huge ceremony the day after tomorrow. After all, the required materials are all here, and it doesn¡¯t take much time to arrange them. " "No, no, no, I was just worried that it would take too much time for you to acquire the materials. Since it's not that urgent. "Barrett scratched his head in embarrassment. And Ms. Lilinda Bolum chuckled: "So this is what I was worried about! " "This is natural! We don¡¯t know if the next mission will start soon. Wouldn¡¯t it be tragic if we fail to complete the ceremony by then? "Barrett spread his hands after saying this. "Actually, the materials required for that ritual are not unusual in the natural system. Ms. Lilinda Bolum did not hide it when she heard this. "It's just that those kinds of consumables are rarely used in battles, so we didn't bring them with us when we went out." " "It seems that Ellie is very lucky. "Barrett nodded pretending to be satisfied. After seeing Barrett's silence, Ms. Lilinda Bolum became interested: "Then what are you going to do next? I'm not talking about family tasks, but your next path. " "My next path? "Barrett was stunned at first, and then he understood what Ms. Lilinda Bolum was referring to: "Are you saying that I am not as good as the black lead choice? " "That's right! "Ms. Lilinda Bolham moved her neck slightly and nodded: "Judging from your previous performance, you should be at the peak of hematite and may enter the black lead level at any time! " "It feels like this, but I always feel that there is something wrong? On the contrary, Lilinda, you said that the combat power shown is not at all like the red iron level. "Barrett naturally couldn't talk about the experience bar with the aboriginals. So he had to rely on the memory of the test period to make it up. "Are you jealous? Ms. Lilinda Bolum suddenly stretched her neck and blinked at Barrett curiously. Faced with this sudden attack, Barrett almost instinctively leaned back to dodge. The experience of cultivating Qi allowed Barrett to control himself in time and not make a fool of himself: "Even if I could deal with one of the giant wolves you summoned that day, I might not be able to deal with it in a short time. If there are two, I will most likely lose more than I win. " "Hey! So, did you lose your temper that day? "After hearing this statement, Ms. Lilinda Bolum compared Barrett's original performance and immediately asked with some suspicion. "Barrett nodded indifferently: "You are the protagonists there!" How can we, the guests, take the limelight out of the host¡¯s house? " "What if our performance at that time is not good? "Ms. Lilinda Bolham looked at Barrett with a half-smile. Barrett, who felt a little nervous at being stared at, shrugged: "In that case, of course the mission comes first. However, the combination of Green Bound Summons and Emerald Furyer is indeed ridiculously strong at this stage! We are simply not given such a chance. " "Really! Weren¡¯t we obviously talking about your problem just now? Why did it suddenly change to me? "Ms. Lilinda Boreham glared at Barrett rather unhappily. It seemed that if she wasn't on the carriage, this woman might really do it. And the reason why she was unwilling to do it on the carriage , Barrett could roughly guess that she was not worried about damaging the vehicle. The half-elf lady was not short of a small amount of money, but once there was a fight in the car, the carriage would inevitably shake and squeak. 's voice. Who knows what kind of rumors it will turn into if such a performance falls in the eyes of people who don't know what's going on. Although Ms. Lilinda Bolum is a standard woman, she is very carefree most of the time. But she is a woman after all, and she is still very keen on this kind of thing. ¡°Okay! Is it okay that I was wrong? Continuing with our previous topic, if you have anything you want to know, just ask! "Knowing that he might still need help from the other party, Barrett immediately chose to give in. At the same time, he silently recited in his heart: 'A man can bend and stretch, and I don't care about women' "This is what you asked me to ask! "Ms. Lilinda Bolum squinted her eyes, looking like a successful fox. But at this moment, the biological carriage suddenly stopped. At the same time, the driver in front also shouted: "The destination has been arrived. Please get off the bus, both of you. " Barrett pushed open the car door, and then stood outside the door and handed out a hand to Ms. Lilinda Bolum in a gentlemanly manner: "It's better to do business first. We will continue chatting later when we have the opportunity. ¡± It seems that it was because we knew the two teams beforehand.I have to come back to report on my work, so the communication work in the city hall went very smoothly. Without much cold wind blowing outside the door, the two arrived at Earl Bolum's office. The earl, who was still sitting comfortably behind the desk, looked at the two outstanding young men in the family and nodded with satisfaction: "Well done! Your overall performance this time really didn't give us Bolum." It's embarrassing. But there are still some details to be added, so the process must be completed." "I understand." Then Ms. Lilinda Bolham. There are two completely different attitudes towards this. Baron Bolum looked helplessly at the half-elf girl in front of him, and then turned his attention to the player: "Barrett, you are responsible for telling. If there are any questions, Lilinda, you can add them." "The battle situation of the plot It's like this" After getting the arrangement, he immediately started describing. As with previous reports, Barrett, who is experienced in this area, did not add his own subjective guesses to the content, but only stated the facts he saw and heard. "Although Ms. Lilinda Boreham doesn't talk much, when she finds something inconsistent with her memory, she will refute or check for omissions. Soon everything that happened on the battlefield was perfected due to the efforts of the two. In the end, Barrett still cautiously concluded: "Of course, this is only part of what we have noticed, and there may be some discrepancies with the actual situation. Perhaps, Lord Earl, you need to understand the specific situation from other angles," "That kind of I will arrange things. You have done a good job. After this task, you will have a more difficult task waiting for you!" Baron Bolum touched his chin and nodded with a smile. Immediately afterwards, Barrett received a system prompt: "The 'Blood-stained Gray Flowers' mercenary group accepted the historical mission 'Sword and Fire' precursor mission 'Snowfield Lurking' completed Mission reward settlement Series of missions Optional Accumulation The follow-up mission starts" 'Of course I choose to accumulate! However, it seems that the follow-up tasks will be available soon. ¡¯ Barrett was quite satisfied with the reward of this mission. At this moment, Earl Bolum spoke again: "Lilinda, if you have nothing to report, you can go back first. But Barrett stays, I still have something to tell you." "Thank you, Lord Count. ." After saying this, Ms. Lilinda Bolum immediately saluted. Then, when he turned around and passed by Barrett, he glanced at Barrett with a gloating expression. This made Barrett feel as if the words 'ask for blessings' were written all over his eyes. "Barrett, it seems that it has only been more than a year since I last chose a career path!" After saying this, Earl Boreham stood up and poured himself a cup of hot tea: "I didn't expect it to happen so soon. It's time to move on to the next stage. As expected, gems need to be polished before they become dazzling. "My lord, are you saying that I'm ready to take the advanced assessment now?" Barrett asked pretending to be excited.
