Woke up in the morning and punched a set of punches, and Locke went to the next door to knock on the door and told Hans and others to leave.
"Rock, what's the matter?" Aunt Mary opened the door, and Aunt Mary asked enthusiastically.
"I'm going to gather in the town today. I'll call Hans and the others." Locke touched his nose, but he has been rather stunned by this pungent aunt since he was a child.
"Okay, I'll call them!" Aunt Mary opened the door to let Locke in, and went back to the back room and asked Hans and the others to go.
The yard of the Hans family is obviously more than twice that of the Locke family, because there are four brothers in the Hans family, and Hans is the second child. There is also an older brother above him, who has already married and even has children. Nearly ten people live in the same yard. It's not too big to hold so many people.
That is, there are a lot of labor in the family, so it is easy to build a big house.
Not long after, Hans, Kane, and Hank came out of the house with a yawn. As expected, from the sluggish looks of these guys, it is estimated that they were still sleeping late.
"Go! Go to town!" Locke yelled.
The population of Maple Leaf Village is only two hundred people, but only eleven or two soldiers chose to join the army.
Because of the fear that some band of thieves would harass the village when they left, Locke made the decision to let half of the soldiers stay today.
Six or seven heavily armed soldiers, plus other young and middle-aged people in the village, a gang of more than ten thieves, if they dare to come, there will be no return.
It was already noon when Locke, Hans, Kane, Hank, and the other two soldiers arrived at Mine Town.
On the road, I also happened to meet soldiers from another village, and a group of soldiers walked to the town square talking and laughing.
A lot of soldiers gathered in the square at this time. Kane and Hank went into the queue of soldiers, while Locke and Hans looked for Uncle Yorkiak who was standing on the edge of the square.
"Uncle York! Where's Uncle Carl?" Locke called from a distance.
Yorschak was talking to the former garrison captain in the town. He heard Locke calling him and turned around and smiled, "He's here too, over there."
While speaking, he pointed his finger to the other side of the square, and the one-armed Karl was lecturing the town's militia.
These militias were the main defensive force of Mine Town when Locke and other soldiers fought in Charlo. The soldiers left behind by the Baron could not take care of every village and town, and the townspeople needed to arm themselves.
The quality of these militias is worrying. Almost every person is over 35 years old and under 13 years old. They are either old men or children.
While Locke was chatting with Uncle Yoshak, the town elder Billy arrived with a pinch of food, accompanied by a donkey cart full of wheat cakes.
This is their lunch. Locke remembered that it was like this when he first joined the army and was training in the town. At that time, what he was looking forward to most was lunch, because he could eat as much as he could.
"Guys! Come over for dinner first!" The town elder Billy yelled to the people in the square now.
Everyone on the square didn't move. The soldiers could not move because of the military discipline for many years.
The militiamen were scared by Karl. The quality of this group of militiamen was really poor. Karl, who had always been a good temper in the army, was also offended.
He and Yoshak both sang white faces and the other sang red faces. These days, they have cleaned up this group of militiamen.
Carl and Yoshak are different from Locke and the others. They are both townspeople in Mine Town. They live in the town these days, and they are familiar with the situation in the town.
"Any task?" Locke asked Uncle Yoshak, biting the wheat cake in his hand.
"Yes." Yoshak sighed, "I won't be at ease when I come back..."
The soldiers around have begun to order the food, and a few big cooks helped to distribute it.
Carl also stopped reprimanding the militias, who did not have the discipline and order of regular soldiers, and rushed over to grab food.
Carl didn't stop him, he guessed that the militia would run into a wall.
Sure enough, after being a professional soldier for a few years, this group of soldiers, whose hands are soaked in the blood of the Charlois, would this group of miscellaneous brands steal their share of their rations so easily?
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Several of the fastest running militia boys felt a complete shoulder fall, and everyone grinned and howled on the ground, obviously not falling lightly.
Of course, the soldiers also acted appropriately, but the fall hurt them, and did not cause any substantial harm.
When the militiamen saw this, the later people lined up behind the line with winks, and the older ones laughed and talked and dealt with the soldiers.
Ignoring the noise of the soldiers, Locke, Yoshak, Carl, and Hans got together in a corner of the square. Besides them, the town elder Billy was also there.
"What's the mission?" Locke asked. Although he had guessed the outline, it was the best Uncle Yoshak who was the leader of the group.
Yorshak did not speak, and the town elder Billy next to him opened his mouth, "The Baron asked each of our towns to send troops to solve the surrounding thieves and robbers by themselves."
Locke nodded to express his understanding. He looked down on these infamous bands of thieves. If he dared to appear in front of him, Locke could kill a team alone.
This is not a joke. Locke should be the most powerful person in Mine Town at the moment. The physical quality and grudge bonus of the low-level attendants, unless exhausted, ordinary people should not want to get close to him.
The only squadron leaders who knew Locke’s true strength were Yoshak and other squadron captains. Most of the soldiers in the battalion didn’t know the strength of the squadron leaders.
The town elder Billy looked sad. He didn't know Locke's true strength. Over the years, he was the mayor who was troubled most by the gang of thieves around Mine Town.
Sometimes even three chapters have to be negotiated with these gangs to meet their certain requirements in order to protect the mine town and its subordinate villages from intrusion.
This made him, a person who has been the mayor for decades, have been extremely frustrated these years.
"What goals do we have?" Yoshak is a straightforward person. He only needs to have mission goals.
Old Billy didn't answer directly, but said, "There are three biggest thieves gangs around, Red Maple Pirates, Big Stone Brothers, and Gilt Bandit."
"Then take these three operations first!" Uncle Yorkiak made a decision.
"Which one should I start with? Do I need some advice?" Old Billy introduced graciously:
"Red Maple Pirates are a gang of thieves that ran from the east, with more than 30 people and a few horses."
"The leader of the Giant Stone Brotherhood is two twin brothers who did not know where they came from. Both of them are powerful, and a large group of gangsters have gathered under their men."
"Guilt Bandit," Old Billy paused before saying, "Most of them are made up of rogues and rogues in Mine Town who don’t want to be soldiers. You don’t have to look at the relationship. Mine Town has long denied this. Help people."
Not only Old Billy, but almost all the townspeople of Mine Town are ashamed of the Gilt Bandit.
"We have four squadron captains in Mine Town, which must be faster than other towns in suppressing bandits." Old Billy laughed, speaking of this as the capital he brags about like his colleagues in other towns who are also mayors.
There were only four infantry squadrons under the Baron. They had four squadron captains in Mine Town, and there was also a cavalry squadron captain. If you say that, his old Billy also has more face than other mayors.
"Don't be so troublesome!" Yoshak interrupted with a wave of his hand, "Choose one for each person." Turning his head towards Locke and the others.
"Red Maple Bandit, let me lead the cavalry." Locke said first. Since this bandit has horses, in order to prevent fish from slipping through the net, Locke is just right to lead the cavalry.
"The Boulder Brothers gave it to me." Hans grinned, and he wanted to see how powerful this Boulder brother was, and could not withstand his punch.
"Leave the Gilt bandit to me." Uncle Yoshak laughed.
"It seems I can only watch the house." Carl laughed at himself. He lost an arm and his fighting power was greatly reduced. This time the operation to eliminate the thief, it is best for Carl Squadron Captain to stay in the mine town, even if he lost it. With one arm, ordinary bandits don't even want to hurt Karl.
"That's it!" Yoshak decided to shoot the case, and began to gather soldiers. The army was all sorts of quick and clean. He planned to send the soldiers out in the afternoon.
"Is only Carl really enough?" Old Billy hesitated. He was the one who knew the thieves around Mine Town best, and the decision made by Yoshak and others felt too sloppy.
"Don't worry, I promise!" Yoshak gave him a reassurance.
There are only a dozen cavalrymen in Mine Town, but with these more than ten people, Locke is confident that he will wipe out the Red Maple Pirates under his leadership.
Winter nights always come very quickly. After Locke and the others made a final decision, they soon led their teams to set off. A group of more than ten cavalrymen walked through the forest in the evening while whistling.
Each knight was bathed in blood, as if he had just returned from hell.
If you look closely, you will find that the horse's tail is tied with a cloth bag. The cloth bag is convex in the shape of a ball. If you are familiar with it, you can tell at a glance that they are all human heads!
The shuttle of this team of scarlet cavalry shocked countless birds in the forest.
The leader is a knight in bright yellow armor. Under the armor helmet, only a pair of indifferent eyes are revealed.
This person is Locke. He has just led a team to slaughter the Red Maple Thieves. Almost every soldier has just killed at least one Red Maple Thief.
It’s funny to say that the base camp of this group of Red Maple thieves is actually there. Mine Town’s main road to the outside world, in the Maple Forest outside the town, and even close to Locke’s Maple Leaf Village, it’s really Not afraid of death.
Two days ago, if this group of guys were so close to him, he might ask Hans and the others to trouble them directly. Two strong cultivators who practice vindictiveness will bully a gang of people who are not vindictive. Ordinary people, don't be too simple.
On this trip, Locke’s cavalry were also killed. They had never seen such a weak opponent, and they were all cavalry.
The Kaidoqi cavalry with strong armor, knight's long spears, battle formations, and rich experience in confronting the enemy, fighting against this group of thieves who can only behave in front of civilians is simply a one-sided massacre.
Because of the urgent time, this trip will only slaughter thirty-two of the Red Maple Pirates. The horses and treasures belonging to the Red Maple Pirates are still staying in place, ready to deal with them tomorrow.
In Locke's eyes, getting along with his relatives is now far more important than anything else.
