Heimarian Odyssey Chapter 125: Homecoming
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Knight's Journey!
In the jungle trail, a team of cavalry walks through.
"Brother Locke, how far is it?" asked a frizzy boy.
"It should be coming soon." Locke grabbed his head and didn't know.
This is Locke's squadron on the way back home. To be precise, it belongs to the cavalry squadron of Mine Town.
Two days ago, I finally arrived at their camp led by Kaidozi. Under the assignment of the Baron, each squadron was led by the squadron leader and returned to their hometown.
The members of this cavalry team are all young men from Mine Town, with more than ten people.
Besides the cavalry, there are nearly a hundred infantry squadrons led by Yoshak, Karl and Hans behind them.
Relying on horses, Locke and other cavalry moved away from the infantry behind, and couldn't wait to see their relatives.
"I've already taken a familiar journey." Locke said annoyed. The cavalry of them happened to be a group of young people, who had been in the barracks at a young age. Locke turned out to be more than ten. The oldest of the people.
For so long away from home, Locke can only vaguely remember the direction of the road. As far as the distance is accurate, he still has an impression.
"Let's speed up, at most a day and a half, it will definitely be there!" Locke slapped his head and said confidently.
The path they walked must be right. After so many years as a soldier, Locke wouldn't even make the wrong path. Since the road and direction are all facing, he will definitely be able to get to Mine Town if he goes on like this.
Mining Town, Maple Leaf Village.
"Tia, Tia!" The loud aunt Mary in the village woke up her neighbor early in the morning.
"What's wrong, Mary?" The sleepy Tia opened the door of her yard and looked at Mary who was standing at the door curiously.
As Mary squeezed her body into the yard, she said, "I heard that Locke and Hans are coming back. Let's go to the mine guard!"
Leah was chopping wood in the yard. Mary saw "Leah, what else is chopping wood, go with Auntie!" Then she grabbed Leah, who was still chopping wood in a turban, and walked out. .
"What! They are coming back!" There was a muffled noise from the room, and Old Lock put on his clothes casually and rushed out.
"Yeah, yeah, the news just came from town!" Mary said, "My old man has already gone with the boss and the third."
"Go! Let's go too!" Old Locke and Tia helped each other out without saying a word.
Lea didn’t care about chopping wood at this time, but she didn’t go with Aunt Mary right away. Instead, she ran back to her boudoir first, replaced the peasant clothes she was wearing at this time, and replaced her mother Tia’s The new clothes she made by herself, the turban wrapped in three thousand green silks, was taken off, and her beautiful straight hair fell like a waterfall.
"Leah! What are you doing, hurry up, Tia and the others are already gone!" Aunt Mary's urging sound came from the yard.
Leah replied "just fine." In the bedside drawer, there were two silk scarves, one green and one white, and she chose the white one.
Hurrying to put on the silk scarf, Leah tidied the corners of her clothes and ran out, holding Aunt Mary's arm, and ran to the end of the village.
Mary didn't know what Leah was doing at first. The first second she complained that the child was dragging along. The next second she was surprised by Leah's disguise.
Wearing neat new clothes, tearing off the headscarf of a rural woman, and putting on a silk scarf with white hair, Leah, plus her good looks, Mary, a woman who is almost forty years old, looks dumb. Up.
"Leah, you dress up to fascinate the big boys in town!" Mary laughed.
"Oh, auntie, don't make fun of you, let's go." Leah gave Mary a little push, and then ran to catch up with Old Locke and Tia without any loss.
Looking at Leah’s beauty and always being a diligent and thrifty housekeeper, Mary was moved in her heart and said: "My Hans guy is back this time, and he is not too young. I should give He has found a good wife."
Leah didn't have a deep impression of Hans. In her eyes, Hans was the kid who always followed his brother when he was a child, with a nasal nose. Hans played with Locke since he was a child.
"Yeah, Hans is coming back too, Aunt Mary, you should think about it." Leah didn't know what Aunt Mary was going to say, but she just agreed.
"Looking for a daughter-in-law is also looking for someone as beautiful and virtuous as Leah." Aunt Mary smiled with narrowed eyes.
Leah understood what Aunt Mary meant this time, and tactfully refused, "Hans is the squadron captain. I must find a better one."
The promotion of Hans to squadron leader was passed back to Mine Town two months ago. At that time, Otis City had not been captured.
Mary also heard Leah’s refusal, and he didn’t care. Since Locke was promoted to squadron captain in the past six months, so many large families in town have come to their homes to propose marriages without success, not only married daughters, but more Seeing that Leah is beautiful, she wants to marry the old Locke family.
Without exception, they were rejected by Old Locke and Tia. According to them, their daughter was still young and didn't want to marry so early.
I have been neighbors with the Locke family for so many years, others don't know, Mary doesn't know yet, it's obviously Leah doesn't want to.
There are many girls in their village who married when they were 16 years old. Leah is 21 and she is already an old girl. Old Locke and Tia weren't in a hurry, her neighbors were in a hurry. Mary no longer considered the thoughts of Old Locke, holding Leah's hand, and quickly walked towards the entrance of the village.
They are not the only ones who have received the news. The whole village has learned that the men who are serving as soldiers are coming back. There are families with men serving as soldiers. Today, they are dragging their families to the town to meet them.
When Mary and Leah reached the entrance of the village, many villagers had gathered here, all of them from Maple Leaf Village.
"Everyone is there, right? Let's go!" On a boulder at the entrance of the village, there stood an old man with his waist, who was the head of Fengye Village.
When the village chief waved his hand, almost everyone in the village rushed to the town in a mighty manner. This battle was several times more lively than going to the market.
A hundred-year-old maple tree next to the huge rock at the entrance of the village, with yellow leaves falling with the wind, and a little green revealing new buds.
At night, by the campfire, a dozen soldiers in Faustin uniforms sat around and grilled food.
One of the young men with gray hair sits in the center, and the other soldiers around are faintly led by this young man.
"I know this wood!" the young man roasting the hare said suddenly.
These words caught the attention of other soldiers around him, "Big Brother Locke, where is this?" the soldier who was close to Locke asked.
"This seems to be the five-mile forest outside Mine Town." Locke replied, "When I came out of Mine Town, I was also passing by this forest."
When Locke said so, the soldiers around suddenly realized that most of them went out to fight six years ago.
"It seems to be true!" shouted the soldier who had spoken before.
"If yes, it will be there soon." Locke said, "I guess I will be in Mine Town tomorrow!"
The soldiers around all smiled when they heard it. Everyone couldn't wait to see their relatives.
"Where are the Yorshak squadron leaders behind?" Locke asked a soldier next to him.
The soldier thought for a while and replied, "Captain Yoshak and they are not far away from us, at most half a day away, tomorrow they can also reach Mine Town."
When Locke heard this, he was relieved. It seems that the soldiers led by Uncle Yoshak are also homesick, and they are not much worse than the speed of their cavalry, and they are only half a day away.
Two days ago, since the Baron gave the order to disperse and return to his hometown, every soldier, under the leadership of their respective squadron leader, used all his strength to drive on his way.
The four daughters of Grace and Xia Qian were placed in the town outside the Baron’s Castle by Locke. Unlike the City Lord’s Mansion where the Charlo nobles like to build their mansion in the town, the Faustin nobles are mostly keen on building fortresses.
Every nobleman’s castle is a small military fortress. This may be one of the reasons Faustin’s military strength has been strong for hundreds of years.
The town outside the Baron’s Castle is not much worse than a small town in Charlo. Locke gave Xia Qian a large sum of money to let them stay in the hotel temporarily. By the way, I asked the soldiers living in that town to take care of me.
Most of the soldiers in the Cavalry Squadron live in a town outside the Baron’s Castle. The four daughters of Xia Xi live there, and they are considered to be staying at Locke’s home ground. If there are unsightly characters, believe that group of soldiers Will be treated well.
The reason why he didn't bring them was because Locke couldn't explain the origin of the four girls, and second, he didn't know how to introduce them to his parents and villagers.
Right now, there are not many Faustans who have a good impression of the Charlois in the country. I don’t know how many Faustin’s families were broken due to the war with Charlo. Locke has repeatedly ordered the women not to reveal their nationality.
The hare caught tumbling over the campfire, "Bala Baba" grease dripped into the fire, and a smell came out.
It's almost roasted. Locke blew it and took a bite. It's cool. The hare from home is better than Charlo's, Locke thought.
The surrounding forest is not big, only a mere two or three miles away. Standing on a high place, you can even see the borders of the forest on all sides.
But it is such a small piece of forest that constitutes a complete ecosystem. Locke and the rest of the cavalry's dinner were all obtained from this forest, and the dry food they brought was not moved.
Can eat meat, why bite hard bread.
Although there are a lot of game, Locke has not noticed any traces of demonized creatures, not even a little elemental fluctuation, let alone demonized creatures, this forest does not even have magical plants.
It seems that only places like Murphy Forest or Bering Mountains can see enchanted creatures and even beasts everywhere.
Swallowing the last bite of rabbit meat, Locke yelled, "After eating, rest in place, Rusco, Beech, it's time for you to watch the night, let's go home tomorrow!"
"Yes!" Locke's words received responses from all the soldiers.
