    "Has the situation deteriorated to this extent?" Barrett looked at everything in front of him with a pale face.  Le - Wen Because of the war, the farmland that was supposed to be plowed and sown with seeds still retains its winter appearance. The only change is that the abandoned weeds occupy the space where the grass crops should have grown.  Although this farmland that has missed the farming season may not be harvested year after year, it can be said to have said goodbye to the staple food.  It is obvious that the war between the Kingdom of Lucia and the Kingdom of Cruze has seriously affected the agricultural sound field in Cruze.  Even if the farmers on this land have crop seeds from other seasons and can cope with the current situation, the constant diversion of manpower and material resources will make it difficult for them to carry out agricultural production.  Of course, Barrett also knows that even if they all miss the farming season, these fields overgrown with weeds will not lose all income.  The nearby residents themselves graze livestock on the fallow acres, but compared to the vacancies caused by the reduction in grain production, the meat output of those cattle and sheep is just a drop in the bucket.  With a grimace on his face, he muttered in a low voice: "I hope the situation in the Kingdom of Lucia is more serious than here." Although the impact of the war cannot only affect one party, Barrett also understands that his  Such expectations are nothing but wishful thinking.  After all, until now, the war is mainly burning on the land of the Cruze Kingdom.  Although it cannot be said that there is peace and prosperity in the Kingdom of Lucia, at least there has not been much big news. Not much does not mean there is none at all. Just like the actions of Barrett and the Ovaltine Knights in the past few days, they are definitely worthy of praise.  It's big news.  But it is a pity that these big news often happen in the big cities of the Kingdom of Lucia.  Although his influence among the people is not small, it even caused the king of the Anliuko family to scold his courtiers bloody.  However, the country manor, which is Lucia's main agricultural production, has not been affected much. If it weren't for the fact that too many strong men were mobilized for the war, their lives would even be the same as before the war.  What's more, although there are many beauties in Lucia, after middle age, people often become "dragoons" who can stand people on their hands and run horses on their arms.  These 'dragoons' are no worse at farm work than the men in their families. Even if there is some shortage of labor force, there will not be an irreparable gap.  Therefore, it is really unrealistic for Barrett himself to think that the Lucia Kingdom should be abandoned on such a large scale as the manor in front of him.  But if only the Kingdom of Cruze encounters a food crisis, the gap in strength between it and the Kingdom of Lucia will widen even further.  It is by no means good news for the Kingdom of Norhan, which plans to take advantage of the fire.  The Baptist Knight on the side obviously heard the reason for the worry in Barrett's words. He drove his mount to Barrett's side and said, "We shouldn't worry about this kind of thing. As the lord's sharp blade,  We only need to take care of what we need to pay attention to. As the sharpest weapon, we can cut off all obstacles in the way for our lord. The civil servants will naturally be responsible for solving the rest. "Mr. Baputi, this is too much.  You're irresponsible!" Barrett couldn't help but turned around and complained.  Regarding Barrett's protest, Knight Baptist didn't take it seriously at all: "You people just think too much, so you can't become a knight. It's easier for people like me who only focus on one thing."  "Cross that barrier." "My inability to become a knight has nothing to do with overthinking.  It¡¯s totally not allowed by the system master!  Besides, wasn't the Baputi family famous for its prolific and commanding knights?  Why is there such a barbarian in this generation? Your ancestors will definitely cry when they find out.  ¡¯ Although he continued to slander Knight Baptist in his heart, Barrett never had the courage to say these words.  Otherwise, the Baptist Cavaliers will definitely use the excuse of training to beat Barrett until his nose is bruised and his face is swollen.  During the rest of the journey, Barrett saw more and more abandoned manors.  Some of these manors are still as they were when the owners left them, but some have been reduced to ruins in the fire.  Although it is not known whether the flames were an accident or an organized robbery, the damage to future reproduction is very powerful.  Along the way, Barrett¡¯s mood became more and more uneasy.  This is not just because the situation in the Cruze Kingdom has reached a certain level.  At the same time, it was also because he exchanged information with several of his companions offline and understood the somewhat difficult situation of the remaining players.  Although the members of the 'Blood-stained Gray Flower' successfully survived the previous battle, their losses were also very heavy. Although most of the injuries have been healed by magical treatment, a large number of scrapped weapons and equipment and consumed paper potions  , but it seriously affected their combat effectiveness.  Based on the player¡¯s imaginationFrom the looks of it, under such poor conditions, they naturally planned to retreat first and think of a solution later.  However, the aboriginal people responsible for the escort wanted to move on.  After all, the location of the attack was not far from the final destination, and they planned to take a gamble.  What is worth celebrating is that during the last stretch of the journey, this escort team did not suffer a second ambush.  Unfortunately, after they entered the predetermined location, the not-too-large city was surrounded by an army of Lucians. I don't know if this was a coincidence or intentional by the Lucians.  The members of the "Blood-stained Gray Flower" who had just encountered a field battle were facing a crisis-ridden city defense battle.  The only good thing is that the city has done a good job in preparing for war. The players who suffered heavy losses have received some supplies after participating in the defense of the city. At least Anvil's armor is ready for use after repairs.  However, the players trapped inside have no idea how long the small town called Camplin can sustain after being besieged.  Although sieges and street fighting are both arduous tests for the attacking side, compared to the increasing number of Lucian soldiers and siege equipment outside the city.  The city's not-so-thick walls and the soldiers who were obviously poorly trained really made it hard to feel at ease.  Although the Cruze Kingdom's always lax armaments have been strengthened since the war began, the gap between the Cruze Kingdom and the Lucia Kingdom will never be able to catch up in a short time.  However, the sharpening of skills during this period of time was not without success. At least the gap in salary that was originally empty has been made up.  Moreover, with sufficient military pay and supplies, the morale of those soldiers has been guaranteed to a certain extent, and they will no longer be unable to understand orders.  Relying on these soldiers who the players felt were not reliable at all, the Camplin City in front of them blocked several attacks from Lucia's forward troops.  Rather than being beaten down by a group of cavalry like some settlements that lacked force, they even waited for the arms purchased from the Bolum Territory.  However, facing the well-prepared siege troops outside the city, the previous total victory was now nothing more than a joke.  After learning the information, Barrett racked his brains, but still couldn't find any good way to solve the crisis of his companions. Unless he could have a certain influence on this ranger regiment, he could restrict the Lucian siege.  action.  But this kind of restriction is very limited. At most, it can only be blamed for delaying the date of Camplin's breach for a few days.  Unless the Cruze Kingdom can organize a rescue force during this period, the fall of Camplin City is a foregone conclusion.  However, no matter how difficult the situation was, Barrett could not leave his companions in danger without taking action.  After several days of waiting, he finally found an opportunity to discuss related topics with Knight Baptiste: "Mr. Baptiste, I have always wanted to know what specific action plan we have for this visit to the Kingdom of Cruze.  "No?" "There is an action plan, but it depends more on how you respond." Then Knight Baputi started chattering like a chatterbox: "The words on the paper are the best."  It can only be used as a reference. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is only one way to die if you hold that thing" Although it sounded like a clich¨¦, Barrett still resisted the urge to interrupt the other party and listened to the end.  .  Then he followed the other party's words and asked: "In other words, our purpose this time is to disrupt as many Lucians' actions as possible and delay their offensive momentum. Are you ready for the next stage of all-out war?  "Of course we have to explore the background of Lucia's army and find out their weak links." Knight Baputi doesn't dislike his job at all.  When it fell into Barrett's eyes, he seemed to be a bit interested but disappointed.  Hearing this, Barrett felt that his plan was finally somewhat certain.  He immediately struck the iron while the iron was hot and asked: "Then if we intervene when the Lucian army is attacking the city, will we cause great losses to them?" "Let's make a surprise attack while the Lucian army is attacking the city.  "Muttering this, Knight Baptist frowned and fell into thought.  After a long time, he stared at Barrett and asked: "Do you have any ideas?" "It's not an idea. It's just that my previous teammates and the Bolum caravan that delivered the goods are now trapped.  In the small town being besieged by the Lucians, I really don¡¯t know how long they can survive if they don¡¯t rescue them,¡± Barrett said truthfully.  Still working overtime, will make up for it tomorrow. Georgie sighed and said to Craig: "If the number of citizens in the territory reaches 60,000 one day, I will open a candy shop in Poitou." "Too much.  Okay, you have to keep your word." Craig cheered.  "Well! It's agreed. By then I willThe best pastry chef in the principality will be invited to open a candy shop.  Let you eat candy whenever you want.  Georgie made a promise to Craig with a smile on his face and thought bitterly in his heart, "If that day really comes, I don't know if Craig you still like to eat candies."  " "I said Qiaoji, the raw material for making candies should be jaggery, right?  Although the taste of that thing is not as good as candy, you can still eat it directly.  Why don't you come back to the territory in two months and serve us some jaggery every few days to satisfy our cravings?  "Just when Georgie was walking a little absent-mindedly, Hillen's sudden words interrupted and pulled Georgie back from his mind space. "If you really want it, I will buy it from those takeaways.  I'll put some of it in the jaggery for you.  But this is not necessarily free!  After giving the answer, Georgie said angrily to Hillen, "I've never seen you so smart before."  If you could do this in other aspects, I don't think Mr. Val would put so many restrictions on you.  " Qiaoji spread his hands with an indifferent look on his face: "Aren't you usually here?  Then why do I spend so much effort?  You are my future lord, and I will hit wherever you point.  Isn't this very simple?  And I heard someone say that if you use your brain too much, you will easily become bald.  " Georgie stopped moving forward and looked at Xi Lun again from head to toe. His eyes seemed to be looking at the goods, which made Xi Lun's heart go crazy. He protested repeatedly: "Don't look at me like this, okay?  I can't sell it for a good price.  " After hearing this, Georgie punched Hillen directly in the chest, and then said: "Who said you can't sell it at a good price.  If I capture you and treat you as a stallion, I'll be sure to sell you at a good price if you are listed somewhere other than Norhan.  If you were willing to work hard and sow seeds in the southernmost commercial republics, you might be able to get yourself some magic equipment in a few years.  " "Is it really possible to exchange for magic equipment?  "After hearing Georgie's words, Hillen's eyes shone brightly, and his expression almost made him salivate. He muttered in a low voice, "Armor and shoes!  When I travel, I will definitely go there and spend some time there.  At least get the armor and shoes before leaving.  " " Georgie really didn't expect that magic items would be so attractive to Xi Lun. In other words, Xi Lun's moral integrity was so low that he would really consider selling himself for equipment. Although the Val Knight knew that it was  If he pointed out such a direction to Xi Lun in a casual chat, the consequences would be really unimaginable. Thinking of this, Qiao Ji couldn't help but shuddered and said to Xi Lun in a hurry.  I never thought about the consequences of doing this!  If you really dare to do such a shameful thing then, I think Val Knight would not mind asking my father for a long leave to go there and clean up the house.  "(To be continued.)
