Four years of war life gave Locke the habit of eating quickly. After a quick meal, he wiped his hands and said to Hans, “Hans, let’s go”.
Locke came to the quarters camp again. It was noon now. Most people were either sleeping or soaking in the tavern. Locke went straight to the post at the rear of the quarters camp, took the purse from Hans’s hand, and walked in. post station.
“Warner! Warner!” Rock shouted.
“You’re going to die! You’re going to die! Damn Locke, I heard it, no one can sleep well at noon, you **** fellow!” Warner, who was in charge of the communication duties of the inn, walked out of a room in the inn. , he complained, “Is it sending money to my family again? Come on, give it to me!”
“Here, it’s mine, it’s the guys in my team, don’t mix it up!” Locke urged.
“I see, I see, it’s not the first time I’ve sent you money, no other team has a mother-in-law like you!” Warner was still dissatisfied with Locke for waking him up for a nap, and complained.
“You kid, if you get confused, I’ll take care of you.” Locke gritted his teeth at the lucky guy. He is said to be lucky because the person in charge of the inn not only enjoys the salary of a third-class soldier, but the most important thing is the safety of the post. After all, anything can go wrong, but logistics cannot go wrong. And in this position, you don’t need to look at people’s faces, and the average team captain really doesn’t dare to provoke Warner. However, there is no promotion path here. Warner was in charge of the inn when Locke was a third-class soldier. Now that Locke has been promoted to a second-class soldier for more than a year, he is still here. However, I heard that he is related to the baron’s butler, and I think he will have a way to go in the future.
“Hmmmm, do you have any other requests? Bring something to say.” Warner has not been dealing with Locke for a day or two, and he knows that every time this guy takes his salaries and sends the money back, he always brings it home with him. Two sentences.
“Yes. Bring a message to my parents to let them pay attention to their health, and my sister, so that she doesn’t have to save money all the time, so she can buy whatever she wants. I don’t lack that money now.” Locke had already thought about what to say. After that, he believed that his sister knew what he wanted her to buy, a silk scarf for her hair, which was Locke’s obsession.
“Well, I see, the caravan sent back to our Kaidoqi leadership will set off tomorrow, first to Peters Land, the occupied area of eastern Tyre Province, then to the capital city of Flor, and finally back to our south Del Province, it can be sent back in 20 days at the latest,” Warner said. After chatting with Warner for a while, Locke left. He also didn’t interrupt Warner’s lunch break. Don’t look at Warner, Locke is quite deserted now, and it will be lively in the afternoon. Because today is paid.
Out of the inn, Locke took Hans back to their team’s camp. “Hans, what do you think our village is like now?” On the way back, Locke and Hans chatted. The two of them came from the same village, and the two of them were neighbors.
“It’s still the same. The maple tree at the entrance of the village should be bigger. My brother has another son this year. I have three nephews now, and the family will not worry about the future. It is said that this year’s harvest is very good. That’s right, the village killed a pig for our military household, and every family has a share, and…” Hans is usually a boring guy, but once he opened his chatter, he couldn’t hold it back, and kept babbling until the two returned. to the camp.
“This battle has been fought for four years, and it’s almost over. I really want to go back quickly,” Locke sighed.
After Locke and Hans returned to their team’s tent, except for Phil, the servant on duty, the rest of the team was on a lunch break. Anyone who has been on the battlefield understands that plenty of energy can make you live on the battlefield. longer.
Locke went to his bed, took off his coat, and got into bed, but he didn’t fall asleep, he was thinking about how he should operate and be promoted to first class as soon as possible. The Faustin Kingdom’s army has its own promotion system: servants, cannon fodder on the battlefield, just joined the army after two months of training; third-class soldiers, the main force in the kingdom’s army, require more than two years of military service ( It takes more than one year in wartime) and must have the strength to deal with three servants; a second-class soldier, serving as a team leader of 10 people in the army, requires more than three years of military experience (more than two years in wartime) and has the strength to deal with three third-class soldiers ;First class, the ace in the army, to serve as the captain of a hundred-man squadron, requires more than four years of military experience (more than three years in wartime), and has the strength to defeat at least three second class soldiers, yes, defeat, because first class soldiers There is the right to practice Dou Qigong; as for the promotion of the first class to the knight, there is no clear statement in the army, and it will not be public until you reach that level.
Locke knows his own strength and can deal with three second-class soldiers of the same level as himself. If he works hard, it will be fine for a short time, and his military age is enough, but he has no idea whether he can be promoted, and his strength is similar to them. There are many military camps. Because of the battle two months ago, one-third of their battalion suffered casualties. The captain of the third squadron and the deputy squadron of the fourth squadron died in the battle. Only two seats were vacant. There were too many monks and few porridge. a seat.
Loke also shuddered when he thought of the battle two months ago. This was the second most **** battle in Gordon Heights that Locke had experienced. The big legion is charging upwards regardless of casualties. In order to break the deadlock, the three legions use wheel battles to attack the canyon heights in turn. It is said that the enemy defending the canyon only has the strength of one legion, so how can they hold it. This battle was extremely difficult. The enemy fought hard to defend this final front. Locke experienced more than once that severely wounded enemy soldiers attacked desperately after being surrounded by themselves. This was to protect the your own home? Locke asked himself, if his kingdom was invaded, would he do the same? I remembered what my army had done in the Charlo Kingdom after successfully defeating the large army of the Kingdom of Charlo last year and occupied Peters Land. They burned, killed and looted. People with a little wealth were demoted to slaves and their families were beautiful. The woman was either seized by the noble master or acted as a military prostitute, and remembered her simple parents and kind sister. Locke also understood these opponents, because under the same circumstances, Locke would be more ruthless.
Facing such a **** opponent, Locke was full of respect, but he did not hesitate. It’s war, and his brother is taking casualties.
It took nearly a month for the three major armies to storm the Filmore Grand Canyon. Their battalion belongs to the Eagle Corps and is the fifth battalion of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Eagle Corps. In that battle, the 2nd Infantry Regiment was the vanguard of the entire Corps, and the 3rd and 4th Squadrons of their battalion were the vanguards of their battalion. The first battle was attacked by the two squadrons of them, and the sound of slaughtering never stopped. Even Locke, who was grooming at the rear at the time, could hear screams, shouts, and the sound of swords colliding. From time to time, a fireball or lightning flashed across the sky, which was said to be the power of magic, and blood stained the entire sky red.
When it was Locke’s turn and the 1st squadron took part in the attack, the 3rd and 4th squadrons that had withdrawn from their battalion had been reduced by nearly half, which caused a lot of panic to the soldiers in the barracks. Locke, who has fought for four years, suppressed the panic in his heart. Locke, who has lived on the battlefield like a meat grinder for four years, understands a truth. You can’t be timid on the battlefield. The more afraid you are, the faster you die. In that battle, under the command of Locke, their team avoided several waves of magic bombing. Locke did not fight recklessly against the enemy. Such a deadly enemy is the most difficult to provoke. He chose to advise the squadron leader. Uncle Yoshak participated in the war on the flank of the canyon, where there are many dangerous walls and strange rocks, and it is easy to avoid bows and magic attacks.
War is war after all, and Locke’s team still killed two people, the third-class soldier Gree, a powerful sword and shield, and the servant Gal, a humorous little boy who was only 16 years old. In this battle, Locke personally captured a second-class soldier, a third-class soldier, and five or six servants who were slightly injured. The price was that Locke was stabbed in the right chest and many minor injuries. The final result was that their team killed a total of 1 second-class soldier, 5 third-class soldiers, and more than ten servants. They could have such a great record not only because their battles were fought with more and less from beginning to end, but also because Their squad is cohesive.
After beheading the enemy troops, take their waist cards to exchange for military merit in the camp. Servants account for 1 military merit in the army, third-class soldiers account for 5 points, and second-class soldiers account for 10 points. The military merit that Locke has now accumulated is almost 50 points. Military merit in the barracks can be exchanged for promotion, and 100 military merits can be exchanged for the rank of a first-class soldier; and it is used as currency, soldiers can buy everything they want in the military supply camp through military merit, which is more versatile and purchasing power than Yindeler. Strong; in the end, it can be exchanged for money, 1 military merit for 1 silver Dele. This is the choice of most soldiers to exchange military merit for money. The Faustin Kingdom has experienced two years of drought and the price of food has remained high. Most of the soldiers are to keep their families alive. The nobles and the military do not dare to embezzle the money in exchange for military merit. Don’t embezzle, send the money back to your family, and your relatives will be able to live.
Locke has always exchanged his military exploits for money before, but since he experienced the **** battle in Gordon Heights last year, he has changed his mind. If he can’t live, how can he make his family better. The cannon fodder at the bottom died the most and the quickest on the battlefield. The servants died the fastest in high-intensity wars. Even the third-class soldier, who was a small and powerful soldier at the time, finally hid after exhaustion. Survived among the dead. After the **** battle, his strength has improved a lot. With the help of a large number of pocket cards captured by the enemy and the care of Uncle Yoshak, who has also survived and has been promoted to the squadron leader, he became the squad leader and broke away from the big head. range of soldiers.
Loke considers that his current strength should be in the middle of the competition among these people. Although his military merit is not necessarily the highest, it must be higher than most people. Whether he can improve his military rank this time is still certain. If there is a chance, I believe that Uncle Yoshak will also help him.
