lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Knight's Journey!
"Sigh~Lulu~" Waved his whip, Locke was riding a war horse under his hips, galloping on the dirt road in the mountains.
Along with him, there are nearly a hundred cavalrymen, and the leader is Baron Kedozi.
He and Will Cavaliers were only half a position behind the Baron, and a group of cavalry ‘run, step on,’ running rampantly.
When he reached a slope, Baron Kedozi pulled up the reins and stopped first, and the numerous cavalry behind him stopped quickly.
"Where are we?" Baron Kedozi asked, turning his head.
Locke took out a sheepskin scroll from the inside of the armor, opened it and took a cursory look, then put it away and said, "There is a town of'Aymo' ahead. It is two days away from reaching Peters."
This map is a military map of Faustin, and the records are quite detailed. Locke didn't know many words, but he still knew a few place names.
"Okay." Baron Kedozi nodded and said he knew it, then pointed a soldier and said, "You, go to the cavalry regiment behind and report that everything is OK."
"Yes!" The soldier turned his horse's head and ran in the direction where the crowd came.
"Let's go." Baron Kedozi kicked his horse **** and led the cavalry squadron to continue.
It has been more than a week since leaving the joint barracks. Locke discovered that the troops transferred back to the kingdom consisted of two cavalry regiments of the Eagle Legion and the Lion Legion, and one infantry regiment under its jurisdiction.
Needless to say, the cavalry regiment, the infantry regiment turned out to be the most elite first regiment of the two armies.
This made Locke wonder if they were really just returning to their hometown.
This move of almost mobilizing the two armies, the most elite troops back, attracted the attention of many caring people like Locke.
Of course, at this moment, Locke can only choose to obey the orders of the higher level.
The current cavalry squadron of their battalion is following the cavalry regiment of the Eagle Corps, and the infantry squadron is following the first regiment.
The task of their squadron now is to lead the entire army as the vanguard of the returning army of the Eagles.
Along the way, they are occupied areas. Almost every inhabited town is hosted by Faustin’s left-behind soldiers. The safety and comfort are not too high.
Anyway, Locke feels that he has been traveling in the mountains for the past week.
I didn't pay much attention to it during the war before. Now I take a closer look and find that Charlo still has a lot of beauty that is not much worse than Faustin.
In the evening, the cavalry squadron finally arrived in this small town called ‘Aimo’. The Faustin garrison staying in the town extended a warm welcome to the cavalry squadron.
They received the news in advance that one of the large troops returning home would pass by their town.
Why say one? Because the Lion Army and the Eagle Army go separately, one route is southerly, and the other route is northerly, although their destination is Peters City under Peters.
The squadron of Locke, as the pioneer of the road, did not just accept the hospitality of the left-behind soldiers after arriving here. Baron Kedozi and the generals stationed here have gone to find a piece of land outside the town, enough to house the Eagle Corps. There is an open space for nearly ten thousand soldiers.
The large army estimated that it won’t arrive until it is completely dark.
"Big Brother Locke, how about going to have some fun?" The soldiers of the cavalry squadron had already known Locke very well, and a few escaped guys came up and invited directly.
The so-called ‘happiness’ is nothing more than drinking and looking for women.
Take advantage of the time when the Baron is away, no one cares about them, as long as you pull down either Rock or Will Knight into the water, you can play at will.
"No, you go." Locke shook his head and refused. These days he has had drinks with these soldiers several times, and Locke doesn't want to drink wine tonight.
As for women, with Xia Qian, Grace and even Angelina, the three national beauty, Locke is not very interested in ordinary women.
"Oh." The soldiers were obviously not so excited when Locke was not invited, and walked towards the town in twos and threes.
Will Knight, please? Don't be kidding, most of the soldiers in the Cavalry Squadron were trained by the Will Knights. It is good for the Will Knights to acquiesce to the lazy behavior of the soldiers. Don't think that the Will Knights will go with them.
"Don't play for too long!" Locke reminded the soldiers who had not gone far.
In the end, this small town called ‘Aimo Town’ saw off a small piece of wood outside the town, and only then did the following large troops be placed.
After finishing all night, continue to set off.
. . .
Riding on horseback on the land of Peters in the occupied area, in the fields on both sides of the road, one by one farmer is attending to the crops in the field.
"The winter wheat was planted in October last year and will be harvested in two months." Baron Kedozi showed off his knowledge to his soldiers around him.
Locke listened and looked at the green carpet-like wheat fields in the farmland. Although the soil was still covered with some unmelted snow, bunches of wheat stood upright like a model.
Locke remembered the few acres of land belonging to their family in the village. Because they are located in the warm south of Faustin, Locke and the others also plant two crops a year, but wheat is only planted in spring, and the yield is better in winter. Lots of rice potatoes and potatoes.
Although the bread is delicious, it is on the premise of not dying of starvation. In order to fill their belly and spend a good New Year, most ordinary people choose to grow crops that are full and sufficient.
I don’t know if the rice and potatoes at home have been taken away. Locke sketched the scene of working in the fields with his sister and father when he was a child: Snow is still floating in the sky, and Little Locke rubbed his hands and was frozen in the field. Stomping, sister Leah and Old Locke held shovel with their cold red hands, digging out the food they used today from the hard ground.
A smile appeared on the corner of Locke's mouth when thinking of her sister's face and father's face. There is also his mother, the woman who has worked hard and complained all her life for family expenses.
"Drive!" Brandishing his horse whip, Baron Kedozi led the cavalry squadron to speed up the advance.
If nothing else, you can reach Peters City in the afternoon.
Two days ago, the troops had arrived at Peters. Unlike the hills and woods along the way, Peters led the vast plains as its own business card.
These plains are now also planted by Faustans with countless crops for this year's expenses.
A Faustan army of nearly 30,000 arrived in Peters City on the same day.
The Lion Army and the Eagle Army, the two teams traveling from different routes, one after the other, entered Peters City together within half a day. I have to say that it was a coincidence.
Riding a tall horse, Locke, Hans and Kane, walked side by side on the avenue of Peterstown.
After entering the city, Baron Kedozi gave some precautions and was disbanded.
Of course, soldiers should be trained in the barracks, and they should be on duty.
These squadron leaders all slipped out of the barracks foolishly.
The war horse under Kane was found by Locke. The cavalry squadron has more horses than people. It is easy to draw a horse, and of course you have to return it in the end.
"Where shall we go shopping?" Hans asked. Of the three, he is the least assertive.
"Of course, I went to see the world in the most famous Fengyue District." Kane said, jumping off.
Because of the war, countless charlotte civilians left their homes, and Peters led ample food production, attracting many desperate refugees to come here to seek a living.
Most men have gone to work hard. The lack of labor caused by the war has left many jobs short of people. It's just that the wages will not be high, at most just starving people. Most Faustans have prejudices against the Charlottes.
It’s okay for a woman to have a family. If there is no pillar, she can only do some manual work, but it is difficult to fill the belly. If you can’t live, you can only sell meat. In a disguised form, Peters led the development of the industry.
Kane said that Fengyue Place is the most famous here, and I heard what other experienced soldiers said.
The influx of tens of thousands of Faustan soldiers has injected fresh vitality into Peters, a city that has just emerged in recent years.
At this time, every soldier has a bulging pocket, coupled with the habit of being big-handed in the army, I don't know how much industry development Peters can lead.
Fortunately, there are leaders like Baron Kedozi restraining most of his soldiers. Soldiers at most sneak out to play, otherwise there will be trouble.
"Which place to go?" Locke glared at Kane.
Speaking of which, the most upright of the three is Kane. Although this guy is full of grotesque, but when it comes to the actual situation, he can stand it better than anyone else.
"Go! Find a place to eat first." Locke set his tone.
Before the three of them came out, they greeted them and didn't go back to eat. Now they have been walking around and there is nothing to do. It's better to sit down and eat something.
Walking to a more prosperous section, the three big guys hesitated.
On the left is a row of places similar to a tavern. Many tavern girls stand directly on the side of the road, laughing and soliciting customers, specifically to pull big-headed soldiers like Locke.
The girls in revealing clothes, the perfume smell inadvertently and the western scenery that accidentally exposed, caused the three big men to shake their throats collectively. In this cold winter, the three even felt a rush of heat.
The other side is also a place to eat, but there is no direct solicitation. Whether it is decoration or space, it is obviously on a higher level than the pub on the right. Under a beautiful chandelier at the door, there are just a few welcoming guests. Waitress.
Although these welcoming waitresses are more conservative in dress than those outside, it is this dignified appearance that makes the elders like Locke more greedy.
"Where to go?" Hans was the questioner, and this guy was staring at a female waitress on the left who held her abdomen in her hands and had a dignified manner.
"Of course it's on the right, go for a drink!" Kane glanced at the tavern girls on the side of the road, who basically wears less clothes, and who he watches.
Under weighing, Locke took the two to a place called "HSBC Building" on the left.
I don’t know how many people have been together in the tavern, but this kind of high-end place has never been. It’s not bad to come in and open your eyes.
The reason why Kane proposed to go to the tavern on the right is that there is also subconscious resistance to this untouched thing.
"Welcome!" The three elders just stepped onto the red carpet in front of the'HSF Building', and the dignified maids on both sides bent over and said.
Although he was taken aback, Locke, who was the eldest brother in the lead, calmly entered with his two brothers without expression.
