After leaving the dense forest, Barrett finally saw the stars hanging on the dome. However, he knew that it was not time to relax now. Although there was no sound in the trees behind him, there was no guarantee that there were no pursuers there. Barrett¡¯s pupils began to adjust in the darkness, and the boundaries of things that were originally blurred gradually became clearer. Under the starlight, the dark mountains and the gloomy dense forests are full of dark shadows. Fortunately, the distant fields, with a little halo cast from Ulrika's city wall, gave people a little solace. After confirming the direction, he stretched his hand to his waist next time, but the portable kettle that was supposed to be there had disappeared: "When did it fall?" Then he patted his forehead: "I When was the last time I drank water? I hope no one takes away my dimensional bag.¡± After a long and intense jungle battle, Barrett¡¯s image was indeed quite embarrassing. Not only was the armor painted in various colors, but the armor belt hanging on his body was already missing two pieces. "Fortunately, it's still there." Barrett took out the dimensional bag from under his armor, stretched his hand inside, and then took out a dirty-looking water glass: "Fill it!" A moment later, the glass was empty. White foam burst out of the cup, and as the slightly brownish liquid and the unfiltered wheat residue streaked across Barrett's tongue, the unique bitter taste of hops made Barrett's spirit tremble. Vibrate. After alleviating his physical needs, Barrett stepped forward and walked in the direction of Ulrika. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the hazy night. As the saying goes, it¡¯s impossible to beat a horse to death, but Ulrika is already in Barrett¡¯s sight. But even at his speed, it took a long time to run all the way. When the dawn light broke through the darkness, he finally needed to look up at the city gate in his eyes. Ulrika still had traces of the war in the early morning. The city wall stained with lemon dye on the sunlight map had covered up its usual mottled appearance, but the smoky blackness and the cracked female wall remained the same. Eye-catching. Fortunately, the most important city gate has been repaired by the craftsmen who came with the army under the guidance of civilian workers. Unfortunately, the patches on the wooden boards and the scattered iron bars on the gate still look unsightly. However, this does not affect their basic functions. "The person below, tell me your name." Not long after Barrett stood under the door, such a voice came from the city gate tower. A guard wearing an iron hat poked his head out from behind the battlements and looked at him. After adjusting, Barrett took off his helmet and shouted: "I am Barrett from the Bolum family. I just came back from a cleaning mission." After hearing this, the guard immediately retreated behind the battlements for a while. Then he stretched out his head again: "Maybe, maybe I need to ask you, sir, to stay outside for a while. It's not time yet, and we don't have the right to open the city gate in advance." "It's okay! I'll just go outside and bask in the sun." Barrett waved his hand indifferently. Because he knew that the man on the tower did not dare to say anything, and the other party did not dare to confirm the authenticity of Barrett's identity. They could only choose such a delaying strategy. But in wartime, when the threat of alarm has not been lifted, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful. Barrett would naturally understand the difficulties of the two leading soldiers. Even if he hoped to wash away the dirt on his body as soon as possible and have a good sleep, he would not cause trouble to them upstairs. As the sun climbed above the clouds, noisy sounds gradually appeared behind the city wall. Barrett also knew the time to go to town was coming. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the huge iron gate to be slowly pulled up after a brief vibration, and then the patched wooden door was slowly moved to both sides. Also because of the war, the business traveler who was supposed to be waiting behind the door did not show up at this moment. This small border town that used to have frequent caravan traffic now seems extremely deserted. The only people waiting for Barrett were heavily armed guards with guns. But before Barrett could negotiate further, he heard this voice in his ear: "Sir, the Earl asked me to inform you to report to him after the cleanup is completed." "Understood! I will rush over as soon as possible. "After hearing this, Barrett could only suppress Meimei's desire to sleep for an indefinite period of time. I don¡¯t know if it was affected by the war, but none of the hotels in Ulrika had hot water. As a last resort, Barrett could only simply clean up his personal hygiene with cold water, and then rushed to the city hall where Lord Bo was. Although the war is still going on, soldiers on both sides are still fighting frantically on the front. However, the nobles of Novartis have temporarily divided several war zones, which are respectively responsible for the royal family and several leading local nobles. According to Barrett¡¯s understanding, this was absolutely impossible in the past.?Won¡¯t happen. In a sense, although Novartis is still singing triumphant songs today, its internal differences have not been bridged by successive victories. Now Ulrika¡¯s current highest officer is officially held by Earl Bolum. Obviously, this result is an agreement agreed by both parties. Earl Boham, who had just entered the door and was sitting behind his desk, asked: "How is the situation this time? Do you need to repair for a while? Fighting with fatigue is not good." "It's true that I have been drilling in the woods for a few days. We also killed a lot of Lucia barbarians, but at most only half of them were able to retrieve the loot in time." At this point, Barrett shrugged helplessly, "Your Majesty, when will our reinforcements arrive? The advantage is quite big!" "You can wait for someone to calculate the specific results! But reinforcements will not come to us in a short time. The main battlefield ahead is even more lacking in people than we are here," Earl Bolum smiled awkwardly. laughed. Barrett, who knew there was no chance in that regard, naturally became concerned about the situation: "So how is the situation on the front line?" "We still have the initiative at the moment." Earl Boreham pressed his thumb, "But the advancement speed has begun to slow down. "The number of security forces in the occupied land is somewhat insufficient, and the Lucians have sent quite a few guerrillas." "It seems like I'd better not rest in case there is a shortage of manpower." Leiter didn't want to make it difficult for Earl Boreham. Hearing this, Earl Boham smiled: "You have to take control of this aspect yourself. Don't hold on if you feel tired. After all, this war will continue for a long time."
