Chapter 147: Success and Peace
"I'll pick it up!" Seeing the purple fireworks rising in that direction, Barrett raised his foot and kicked the Lucia soldier in front of him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info then reincarnated and left without saying a word, without even having time to mend the sword for the temporarily incapacitated Lucia.
Perhaps, in the old days, the role of an intelligence officer was evaluated without taking into account combat power - at least not the main consideration. For them, the collection and analysis of information, the disguise of identity, the communication with people, and the targeted professional knowledge are the most important. After all, they are intelligence officers, not assault soldiers.
However, in this world with supernatural abilities, the ability to gather a lot of information is often tied to one's own strength. Not to mention the intelligence contest in this world, to a large extent, there is a sword clash between the intelligence officers of the two sides. If your own strength is insufficient, you will only become a thousand souls under the enemy's sword.
So Bolim led these intelligence officers sent to the Kingdom of Lucia. Almost everyone's strength has reached the red iron rank. Although the professionals lacked the ability to fight head-on, the technique of escaping and slipping was good - taking advantage of the deliberate chaos created in Kaos, they blended into the crowd and approached the signal's assembly point.
It's a pity that the Lucia people are not stupid in this kind of thing, and they gave the rescue of the fire to the civil society. And the generals concentrated on the streets leading to the main battlefield. This is used to intercept long-term lurkers who are moving closer to the Boreham rescue team.
Even to the Lucian bureaucrats in Kaos City, these fugitive intelligence agents are more important than the reinforcements who come to their rescue, even though the latter are stronger, and staying will make the top brass of Boham's command even more painful. However, the information held by these undercover personnel has a greater impact on Kaos City.
Although the most important information and the information that the Boreham Collar was eager to know, it was sent out through their own channels by those who were sleepers in the first place. But more news that usually seems inconsequential, or local traditions and customs, is not always sent to Boreham. Don't think the latter doesn't do much? They can be used as a great reference during the siege and even the reign of the city.
So even though those intelligence officers had good sneaking and escape skills, at the last moment of rendezvous with Barrett and the others, almost none of them succeeded in breaking through the search line of the Kaos City Defenses. Although one-on-one, they were not slow to kill the soldiers of the city defenses. But in the face of the array that had already been formed, they had no advantage.
After several failed breakout attempts, they gathered to send out their last distress signal while stealthily protecting themselves. That's what Barrett just did.
And with Barrett gone, the rest of the rescue team members immediately felt the pressure. As one of the main forces of the anti-compression brace, when the Ovaltine Knights were led away, Barrett's presence played a role in determining the sea god needle in a sense. Among the Borem members in front of him after missing him, the only one left was the prophet who had just been cut off - the other party, as a spellcaster, was somewhat unable to take on such a task.
But no matter how important Barrett was to the current situation, when the distress signal appeared, he had to hurry to the location of the fireworks. After all, saving people is the main reason why they took a big risk to sneak into Lucia this time. If we don't make a move at this time, the battle that everyone is struggling to support now will become meaningless.
'Hurry, hurry! You self-defeating people are completely self-defeating. Facing the Lucia soldier at the intersection who was so nervous that her palms were sweating but she didn't retreat. Barrett unleashed the 'Blood' without mercy. With the impact of a shaking mountain and the dust that washed into the sky, the scattered Lucia soldiers collapsed to the ground in all sorts of twisted shapes, as if they had been repeatedly trampled by a herd of migratory bison.
At this moment, at the head of Kaos City, a Lucia official who was watching the riots in the city was holding an officer's collar with both hands and shaking it repeatedly: "What have you all done, what have you done?" Are you just going to watch those damn guys run around the city and have nothing to do? The ballistas on the castle tower can also be turned into the castle! Why not make a shot. ”
"Don't get excited, don't get excited! Things are not as simple as you think. Lucia's soldier, who was shaken by the other party's head and was about to get water, said intermittently: "Those guys are always hiding in the shadows of the building, and we can't aim if we want to shoot!" ”
Barrett obviously has the ability to fly, but in previous battles, he always moved with his feet on the ground. In addition to keeping a hole card for yourself that the enemy doesn't know, to use in the future when you get into trouble, to use to remake. More importantly, I was worried about the threat of the various defense equipment on the upper floor of the city. If that thing comes to you, even Barrett will be in a hurry.
"Don't take me for a fool who doesn't know what to do. I don't think there will be any problems with aiming with the help of a mage. The Lucian official who said this, who was wearing embroidered silk, could no longer see his eyes on his fat face at the moment: "Is it that there is a problem with your usual training and maintenance, so that you can't use it now." ”
"How so? We don't do this kind of thing! It's just that we in Kaos City haven't had a mage who can cooperate with ballistas for a long time. The Lucian officer, in a coarse silk blouse, immediately explained. But in his heart, he had already scolded the person who tossed him in front of him: 'You are the one who usually asks for more, and now it is you who want the army to maintain its combat effectiveness. What the hell do you want to do with a fat brain? ’
Chen Ping's local troops have always encountered all kinds of problems for a long time, especially in such inland cities far from the border -- even now that the war has begun, these bad habits of the past cannot be corrected in a short time. Even in the absence of external threats, it is possible for people to follow Xiao Guicao.
For an enemy like Kaos, the city government has more power than the local garrison, so it tends to take the share of the big soldiers in terms of supplies. It is obviously impossible to feed yourself by sucking the blood and sweat of these soldiers - after all, those bureaucrats have spent a lot of money and favors to get a real shortage under their butts, and it is obviously impossible to serve the people for that little salary every year. Just to recoup the cost, they have to do it.
And the funds issued by the Kingdom of Lucia to the armies of various places are fixed. After going through layers of enrichment, there are not many that really go into the hands of the army. What's more, it is impossible for officers at all levels to eat the reason that they don't even drink a sip of soup when they watch the civilian officials who have endured it eat meat.
Over time, the military and political system in Kaos City has been riddled with holes. Even if there are people who really try to change after the war starts, it is not an overnight thing. And the effort that was originally owed was immediately exposed after being attacked by the Boreham rescue team.
The beast scripture and grease that were supposed to be used on ballistas had already been sold by the officers to the merchants who came and went. As a result, the arrows used for ordinary training were also poured into the hands of those who really needed them. In such a situation, it becomes quite ridiculous to talk about daily training - even the best operator in the army may not be able to shoot the siege well. As for the humanoids used to attack moving creatures, even with the help of a mage caster, it would be a fool's dream.
Of course, the Lucia officer was right about the fact that there were no more casters in the army of Kaos to assist in ballista combat. Because they already have no funds for this, they can't let those officers who come to make money pay the mages out of their own pockets!
So now the defensive equipment of Kaos City, which was supposed to chill everyone's heart, did not play their due role in this great riot. It's not that the Lucia soldiers at the head of the city have any scruples, but because they have no heart at all.
And just when those Lucia officers and higher-ranking civilian officials in the city were shirking their responsibilities. Barrett had rushed to the spot where the lurkers were blocked. The Lucia soldiers here are more sound without organization, and there are a few middle- and lower-class officials who are quite good.
In the sound of 'sonorous', cold rays raged back and forth in this small alley. As a result, the houses on both sides have several more cuts deep into the wall. And the Lucia officers in front of Barrett were staring at him with embarrassed expressions at this time.
These Lucians, who were so-so and passable, managed to stop Barrett's first wave of attacks with the help of the array. But their own condition was not good now—blood oozed from the cracked iron gloves, and it was evident that the tiger's mouth had been broken in the collision just now. The armor, which was originally quite shiny, has now been recognized as having gone through the test of time for thousands of years, and at first glance it seems to have become full of holes. Even the weapons they use, even if they are not cut off, often have a lot of obvious cracks.
Although this intercepted line of defense has not been completely torn apart by Barrett, it has also provided a suitable breach for Boreham's intelligence agents who have been blocked in their path. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the other side of the defense line in front of him immediately made a lot of smoke. The intelligence officers immediately rushed out of the smoke that was pouring out. According to the special insignia held by their deputy, Barrett also recognized these personnel for this operation immediately.
"You go first, and I'll stop these damned Lucians for a while." Barrett was speaking to the intelligence officers who had broken through the blockade, and on the other hand, he had the 'Broken Peak' in his hand to block the possible counterattack of these Lucia soldiers in front of him.
At this time, he danced his long knife to the fullest, and turned himself into a majestic mountain with his feet down-to-earth - no matter how the waters of the Lucia turned into rush into, but he did not move. By the time the waves turned white, the Lucians, who had been hit by their heads and bleeding, had no more morale to continue the attack.
After watching the intelligence officers behind him run away, Barrett also gave up here to continue to entangle with the Lucia. However, compared to the all-out rush of those lightly armed escapees, Barrett himself chose to fight and retreat: "When these guys return to the territory, the reason for the exposure of the intelligence station this time will be known eighty percent." ’
To this day, Boreham Collar still does not know the specific reason for the uprooting of the intelligence network in Kaos. Although the local person in charge fled back to Boreham territory as soon as he saw that the situation was not good. However, although he successfully kept the important information of Bolim Territory, he could not find out what caused the exposure of Bolim's intelligence network. This point depends on the intelligence agents who have been surrounded by the Lucians in the city of Kaos for a long time to provide intelligence deductions.
