"Your battalion has the strength of a brigade. The highest commander is Baron Cadozzi, and even the Great Captain is a knight under the Baron. So if you want to continue climbing, you have to keep close to the Baron. Your contribution points just depend on a simple word of the Baron." Sylcean said.
"So I need to rely on Young Master Solon? He is the eldest young master in the territory, and he is likely to be the future heir of the Baron. If I rely on a young master who is not very powerful now, it is very likely that I will be admired and nurtured by the eledest young master." Locke was still a little smart. He immediately realized the reason why Sylcean had suggested that he join Young Master Solon.
"That's right. From your introduction, I feel that the most powerful person in your military camp is Lord Baron, followed by your captain and Young Master Solon." Sylcean explained, "Since Lord Baron and the Great Captain do not participate in the election of Captain, then you should keep close to Young Master Solon. Moreover, I even think that the purpose of this election of Captain is to help Young Master establish his own team."
Sylcean was indeed a person who had grown up in a worldly enviornment since she was young. She had a very precise understanding with regards to worldly relationship. Locke once heard from Warner that the 3rd and 4th squadrons might merge into a squadron, and then a new squadron would be established. At that time, Locke took it as a joke and did not take it seriously. But after Sylcean said this, it seemed that it was really possible. If a new squadron was set up, who would be the chief and deputy Captain? Wasn't a team without leadership framework suitable for Young Master Solon to accumulate experience and establish his own team?
When Locke thought of this, he suddenly understood. He kissed Sylcean excitedly and told her about the merging of the squadron. Sylcean was even more certain of her thoughts.
"Why does the Baron want to establish a team for the Young Master so early? Moreover, it is said that the one managing the domestic issue is the second son of the Baron." Locke still couldn't understand.
"There are many things you don't understand. Why do you care so much?" Sylcean rolled his eyes at Locke, "What you need to do now is to climb up and make our future life better." After all, Sylcean was just an ordinary civilian who grew up in an worldy environment. Although he was shrewd, he still did not understand the way the nobles handled things and did not even dare to understand them. In this era, ordinary people were more in awe of the nobles.
Locke did not have any great ambitions. He was satisfied enough to if he could support his family. The word said by Sylcean, "we" moved him. He hugged her tightly and said, "Our future will definitely be very good."
The next day, Locke woke up late in the morning. As for the reason, it was naturally because the two of them had fought a series of battles last night when they were both excited. "Have I been holding my desire for too long?" Locke couldn't help but mutter as he patted his face to wake himself up. Locke strode towards the military camp.
Last night, Locke and Sylcean had discussed and decided to keep close to Eldest Young Master Solon. As for what gift to give him, Sylcean suggested that there was no need for it to be too expensive or too extravagant. "You were just a Lieutenant so it's natural that you could not send him something good. Why not give a present that matched your identity? That would reflect your sincerity, and also lower your threshold. If you did not give any fancy things, it would make Young Master Solon feel that you were a useful person.'[
From the fact that the Eldest Young Master was the Deputy Captain of the cavalry team and from his achievements in the camp, Locke also felt that Solon was not a person who cared about material enjoyment, so he listened to Sylcean's suggestion. As for the gift he chose, it was the wine he and Uncle Joshak drank yesterday. Sylcean said that she did not have much stock of this type of wine. There were only five bottles left, and she had to buy some wheat and other raw materials to brew it. This time, he brought two bottles with him to see Young Master Solon.
Locke returned to the camp of his squad. The camp was in a mess, and he could hear the noise from afar. It was Peter who was on duty at the camp entrance. He was a young janissary with a pair of bright eyes. He was Kane's follower and was a professional archer.
"Locke! You're back!" Peter suddenly shouted. Locke, who had just walked to the door, was shocked by him. Locke glanced at him from the corner of his eye. Needless to say, he knew what trick he was taking. He did not say much. Locke lifted the curtain of the camp and walked in.
"I guess Locke is still farming on the bed of the lady boss..." From far away, he could hear Kane's excited shouts. It seemed that this guy did not hear Peter's warning at the door. He was siting with his back facing the entrance, waving his hands as he told the others about his fantasies.
Locke silently walked behind Kane. The expressions of the other people in the camp changed. Kane was indeed smart. When the other people's expressions changed, he immediately knew what happened. He pounced forward and dodged Locke's sweeping kick. Then he rolled to the left, avoiding Locke's stomp. Locke was indeed a powerful second-class soldier who had the strength to compete for a first-class soldier. With just a hasty step, a layer of dust was stirred up on the ground, making a muffled sound.
"Hey Locke, please calm down. I was just joking." When Kane saw Locke's strength, he knew that his boss was serious. He could not beat Locke. Other than the suppression of strength, which archer was good at fighting? He was not stupid. He did not want to be beaten up by his boss for nothing.
"Hmph, at least you didn't degress." Seeing that Kane had dodged two of his moves in a row, Locke did not blame him for secretly slandering him. "This guy was a loach." Locke muttered.
"Alright, let's stop. After these few days of training, Yard, take Phil and the others to the Green Palm Tavern." Locke ordered the surrounding brothers. To just deal with some local ruffians and hooligans, one third-class soldier and four or five janissaries were enough.
Locke's words also revealed many meanings. First of all, Locke had his men go to the tavern in the town and guard against hooligans. This was already beyond the power of Lieutenant. Although he had this strength, he could not act rashly without the power. This was taboo, and this indirectly revealed that Locke was determined to get promoted to a first-class soldier, the Captain.
Secondly, Locke only told them to go to the tavern for the next few days. He also revealed a piece of information that the team might be setting off soon. As for where to go, everyone who had been living in the military camp knew the answer.
In the end, they were asked to Green Palm Tavern to guard the place. When they thought that Locke had not returned for a night, it was not difficult for these soldiers to think of whether something had happened between their captain and the beautiful lady boss. The boss sent them to protect their sister-in-law. Okay, this meant that he did not treat them as outsiders. They must protect her well. This also indirectly boost the cohesiveness of the team.
As for the reason why Locke had Yard bring a group of janissaries to the tavern, it was not only because they were strong enough to deal with those gangsters. To one's own woman, who did not want to send the strongest power? But there were patrol officers in the camp, and he was still a Lieutenant who could not go too far. Secondly, it was to train them. Most of these Janissary were replenished by his team in the recent year. One or two years ago, they were just ordinary farmers, and they had not experienced enough wars. If they were to deal with those hooligans, they could more or less get a little experience. Don't look at how hard they fought yesterday. It was Locke and Kane who were next to them. They led the way and stimulated their morale.
After living together for so long, the meaning behind the captain's words were understood by the old soldiers. It was fine if they did not understand. Kane and the others would remind them when they chatted at night.
This was the charm of Locke. He told his teammates about some sensitive information in advance so that they could prepare for battle in advance, and also made them confident in their promotion.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Locke arrived at the center of the military camp. This was where the Baron, the Great Captain, and Young Master Solon lived. As for the Baron's eldest son, there were at least two small teams guarding Young Master Solon's camp. They were just the visible guards, and he believed that there were many other invisible.
He requested the soldiers guarding the door to inform Young Master Solon, and waited outside the door. This time, he came to visit Young Master Solon alone. He only had two bottles of ale contained in glass bottles, holding them in his hand. This gift was something he had discussed with Sylcean a long time ago. Young Master Solon would not like ordinary gifts, but he did not have any good gifts either. It was better to bring two bottles of wine. The wine in the military camp was the best medicine to strengthen relations. Bringing two bottles of wine could make the relationship between the two become closer. Locke could take the opportunity to show his loyalty, but it would not make him seem impolite.
After the routine search, the guard who had sent his message returned. He invited Locke to enter. Locke nodded to him, tidied up his clothes, and walked in.
This was the first time Locke had come to Young Master Solon's camp. He hadn't interacted much with Young Master Solon before and only greeted him respectfully when they had met in battle or in the military camp. In Locke's impression, Young Master Solon was a strong and easy-going person. As a noble, he did not look down on the ordinary civilians in the camp. Instead, he fought together with them. Young Master Solon's strength was unquestionable. This was a powerful man who had learned Battle Aura like Uncle Joshak and the others. Locke estimated that with his current ability, he could at most fight with Young Master Solon to a draw.
This was already very impressive. If people who did not learn Battle Aura could fight against people who learned Battle Aura, this was no different from challenging someone of a higher level. Of course, the greater reason was that Young Master Solon was a noble and a direct heir to the Baron. So he had learnt it from his family since he was a child. However, Lord Baron would definitely not put his son in danger. It was reasonable for the strength of Locke, who had experienced a lot of battles to compare with someone like him who had learnt Battle Aura.
This was a cyan tent of more than ten square meters. On both sides of the huge tent were many rare things. There were small red trees in the flower pots, and under the metal frame hanging in the air, there were pearls one after another, a grayish-brown bear skin, and an eagle-like wooden carving... In short, Locke knew some of the things that were very valuable. He did not recognize the other things, so they must be extraordinary things.In front of the tent was a wooden table glowing with orange light. On the right was a huge screen that blocked the view behind the screen. Locke judged that it was the place where Young Master Solon slept.A young man with light red pupils, black hair, and a tall and straight figure stood in front of the desk. He looked at the gray-haired man in front of him indifferently. His expression showed curiosity about this sergeant of the same age as him. The red-eyed young man was Solon. This symbolic characteristic showed that he
Indeed, in a war of over a hundred thousand people, the strength of a high-level attendant was only enough to protect himself. Locke continued. He and the others had been led by Uncle Joshak to fight against Karlian on the left side of Gaden Highlands. The pale yellow beautiful plain had been turned into a sea of dark red blood and corpses. The war had not been over yet.On the first day, their team had lost two people, and on the third day, there had been also casualties... Only a week had passed, and there had been only four people left in Jake's team. All the janissaries had been dead, and both the third-class soldiers had been either dead or disabled. The disabled one had been in the middle of the battlefield, and no one could have brought him back to the rear. After obtaining his consent, Uncle Joshak had taken action and given him a quick death. Both sides had not needed prisoners. Everyone had known this very well. Rather than being tortured to death after being
Locke did not know how he survived in that battle. He only knew that when he woke up again, he was under a eight-meter-high pile of dead people. It was a young man with a slightly child-like face and yellow hair who saved him. Locke told Young Master Solon that this young man was called Kane who was the same age as him, but he joined the army a year later than him.This was the first time Locke and Kane met. At that time, Kane did not know that Locke was still alive. He was just a soldier on the battlefield. He was ordered by unknown soldiers to gather the soldiers of his side who had died in battle and prepare for cremation. Locke was only dragged by him as a corpse that was about to be cremated.Fortunately, Locke did not die. He only fainted from excessive bleeding. It was at that time that Locke, who was weak and dying, was saved by half of Kane's chestnut cake. From then on, Locke, together with Kane who was like his little brother, had gone through th
Legio Sublimis and Legio Aquilae were required to take over Ellis City and Entel City which were capitals of the two provinces. Legio Leones, the King Corps, were required to head straight for Karlaw's Royal City, Oddis City that was located in the middle of the two provinces, which meant that Legio Leones would encounter the greatest resistance. Therefore, after taking down the two provinces, the two armies, Xiongyang and Xiongyang, had to immediately rush to help and break through Karlian's Royal City, so as to truly destroy this kingdom."This attack on Frances City is just a springboard. Legio II's other teams have almost conquered all the surrounding towns. The headquarters of the corps sent news that they asked us to meet up with them as soon as possible in the Beamon City." Baron Cadozzi continued."The Beamon City..." The tent immediately rang with whispers. It seemed that everyone present was familiar with this city. This was the central city of th
After a long time, it was finally Locke's turn. Captain Mont was the first one to vote. "I think this boy is still too young. He should train for another two years." Then he stopped talking. Mont didn't know if it were for an illusion or not. He felt that Young Master Solon glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally. A bad feeling suddenly arose in him. However, he didn't pay too much attention to it. Perhaps it was just an illusion.Next, it was the Deputy Captain of the first squadron. He was no stranger to Locke. The first time he met Locke was after the end of the Battle of Goden Highland. He, covered in blood, came to the military camp that had just been built not long ago. If not for the military uniform of Faustine Kingdom, he might have been shot to death by the archers before he even got close to the camp.At that time, he was just Lieutenant of a small team who led his men to guard the gate of the camp. Locke brought a young man who was about
"One, two, stab!""Wright, haven't you eaten? Straighten your back!""Look straight ahead, hack!"...The military camp was filled with the sounds of Lieutenant training the soldiers. Everyone felt quite nervous, and even those subordinates who were mischievous at ordinary times did not jump out at this time, because they knew that this was a matter related to their boss' future. If anything was wrong, they would be finished.Everyone glanced at the dark green tent at the center of the camp. Finally, the tent opened and a few Captain walked out.A few clever young men greeted Captain, "Uncle Mont, you are here." "Hello, Captain!"...However, Captains had something on their mind and ignored the surrounding soldiers who were trying to please them. After greeting each other, they who were not inconsiderate returned to their own ranks.Sir Will was the last to come out. He went straig
In the evening, after answering his subordinates' strange questions one after another, Locke lay in bed and retrospected. The specific appointment was not officially announced yet, so it was likely that it would be issued tomorrow. What exactly was Battle Aura? Locke touched the spot under his navel. From the outside, there was nothing, but Locke could feel that there was a rice grain-sized white spot inside. Sir Will said that this was a Battle Aura vortex, but Locke could not see the appearance of a vortex at all.If you don't understand, then forget it. Come what may, heaven won't fall. Perhaps you can ask Uncle Joshak. Locke also thought of Gizaton's beautiful lady boss, Sylcean, who was outside the military camp. Recently, he had not gone to visit her. He should go tomorrow and bring some gifts."I wonder if my family is going well. The last time my parents brought a message that everything was fine. They told me to be careful. I don't know if my paren
The path of cultivation wasn't that easy. The promotion of each rank was a qualitative improvement. The advanced knight attendant was three ranks higher than Locke. No wonder Sir Will always had a slight contempt for Locke and the others, since he had the strength to suppress them. Locke knew that an intermediate knight attendant could fight ten cavalries. Wouldn't an advanced knight attendant be able to resist half a squadron of cavalry? When Locke thought of this, he could not help but shudder."Actually, there is another way to speed up cultivation..." Uncle Joshak suddenly looked around vigilantly and whispered to Locke. "There are demonized creatures in some of the larger forests. Eagle's Battle Aura is wind-type Battle Aura. If we can catch wind-type demonized creatures, we could benefit from their blood and flesh. We can also speed up the cultivation of Battle Aura.""Oh!" Locke was suddenly enlightened.Uncle Joshak continued, "Previous
