Heimarian Odyssey Chapter 21: Before the war
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Knight's Journey!
The team is advancing slowly and neatly. Locke is riding on the horse to adjust his state. This is going to fight and will kill people, so every time Locke adjusts his state before the battle, he has seen him more than once. A strong person dies in the hands of a weak one. In his opinion, this is an abnormal performance, causing his own life to be lost. He doesn't want to be such a person, so he has to try his best to let his strength play.
The horse was selected by the logistics department after he was promoted to the squadron captain. Each squadron captain has a horse of his own. Under the guidance of Uncle Yoshak, Locke chose a maroon horse. This year, the life of a war horse is more expensive than a human life. Such a war horse can be exchanged for at least a full body armor worth 80 silver coins, and it is priceless. If the person wearing the armor is dead, the armor can be taken off and used. When the horse is dead, there is no place to add it. This is why the Baron sits on a cavalry squadron, and only gives the squadron leader a first-level horse.
"Drive, drive" Locke rode a horse to inquire in his squadron. It is very important for the soldiers to start fighting. He is now appearing in front of his soldiers. The purpose is to let the soldiers know that their squadron leader is in them. nearby.
"Brother Locke, when can we get to Français?" It was Gulas who was talking. This was a big man with a thick beard and a strong physique. Among the people Locke knew was Yoshak. The uncle is one size stronger than him. He was transferred from the first squadron. He was originally the squad leader. Now let him be the first squad leader of their squadron. After a few days of getting along, Locke thinks this is a good friend.
"The troops are marching in a hurry, and they can arrive at this speed this evening." Locke thought about it and said.
"Ah, doesn't it mean that there will be a battle tomorrow?" After that, Gulas curled his lips with regret.
Locke glanced at him, "Nonsense, I'll besiege the city tonight and fix it all night, and I will start working in the early morning of tomorrow." Locke said, he could see that Gulas is a militant, no waste With his size, he didn't know how crazy this guy would be in a war.
Locke still didn't say anything. The reason why they will attack the city tomorrow is because they have to join the Baron Kasher first, otherwise the loss of attacking the city with only one baron will be too great. Not to mention that the regular army of the Kingdom of Charlo was defeated by them, but the rotten ship also had three pound nails, not to mention that the city of Frans was said to be a baronial city.
At 2 noon, hundreds of infantrymen in the woods beside the road sat in a neat circle based on the team, and dozens of cavalrymen rushed past on the plank road from time to time. Baron Kedozi and several squadron captains were sitting on a huge tree stump and discussing something. The dark yellow tree stump was densely covered with annual rings, showing that the tree that was just cut down had a long life. .
At this moment, several cavalrymen roared in, and one of the cavalrymen in the lead quickly dismounted as they approached Baron Kedozi and others, and then held his hands to lead the command. "How about it, when will the Baron Kasher arrive?" Baron Kedozi obviously lost his patience while waiting, and asked angrily.
"My lord, the troops of the Baron Kasher are expected to arrive in half an hour." The cavalry reported.
The baron waved him down.
There is a hint of irritation in the hearts of several people here. "This guy!" The bad-tempered people even started complaining. Although Baron Kedozi looked calm at this time, those who knew him knew it was a sign of the Baron's anger.
"DaDaDa..." There was a sound of horseshoes, and finally, Baron Kashgar's troops arrived.
"All stand up, and the whole army!" Each squad leader received an order in advance and immediately organized the members of the squad. Then the squadron belonged to the squadron, and the squadrons were closely linked together. In just a few minutes, a five-line army formed . The cavalry squadron also set off under the command of the commander, and marched forward like a thunder.
When Baron Kasher arrived with his soldiers, he saw this iron-blooded military look. Baron Kashgar smiled and said hello to Baron Kedozi, "I'm sorry, the road was blocked by a group of refugees, and I was late." Although it was an apology, Baron Kashgar squinted and smiled, without a hint of apology. feel.
"It's okay, we didn't wait long. We still have to look up to you, brother, for this siege." Baron Kedozi didn't have the same anger at this time, and also smiled flatly.
"Every time I see your army, I can't help but envy it. It's really a hero." Baron Kasher looked at the soldiers around, but his eyes were almost always cavalry not far away. Body.
Baron Kasher also has cavalry, but only a dozen cavalry with him at this time, this is his personal guard.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Baron Kedozi said modestly.
The two began to chat, as if they didn't mean to lead the army immediately.
Locke saw that most of the soldiers brought by the Baron Kasher were infantry. The number was quite large. It is estimated that there were more than 600 men. There were only more than ten cavalrymen. They were all near the Baron Kasher. They seemed to be personally protected. It seems that this time the two adults have taken out the bottom of the box, because the two have cooperated several times, Locke also roughly knows how many soldiers there are under Baron Kasher.
Different from the orderly nature of the soldiers under Baron Kedozi, although Baron Kasher had more infantry, most of them were more casual. Locke observed that some of the soldiers under the Baron didn’t even hold the gun correctly. At first glance, they were recruits who had just joined the army. Some of them had dark complexions and crouched as if they had just come down from the field. If you look at it alone, you can’t see much, but compared with the soldiers under Baron Kedozi, they are tall. Make a judgment.
Baron Kedozzi and Baron Kasher finally finished their greetings. The Baron Kasher was still smiling and said to Baron Kedozzi, "It's getting late, let's set off."
"Well, let's go." Baron Kedozi said, and with a wave of his hand, all squadron leaders returned to their squadrons and led the soldiers to start along the plank road.
The Baron of Kasher also yelled from their respective officers, arranged the army a little, and started to set off. Baron Kasher also found the gap between the soldiers on both sides, but only frowned, and continued to talk and laugh with Baron Kedozi. Both of them had their own horses and walked side by side in the center of the team.
Locke and his squadron are at the end of their military formation, connected to the forces of the Baron Kasher. It is hard to hear what the two barons are talking and laughing, but it is nothing more than talking about the private affairs of a certain lady in the capital, or It's about what good things I have seized. "The taste of nobles..." Locke shook his head.
There are many familiar faces of Locke in the Baron of Kashgar, all of whom have fought together before. Those who know Locke look at Locke’s dress at this time. How can they not know what happened? With expressions of envy, Locke also nodded to these people. Most of the people that Locke knew were at the level of the squad leader. Don't underestimate them. These people are civilians like Locke. They have no right or the power to get to the level of the squad leader, and they all have their own abilities. There are many friends and many roads, and Locke is acting on this principle.
In the evening, the red sun on the horizon released the last rays of light and sank below the ground level, and the city of Frans greeted the night. This is a small city, but with dense streets and houses, it is not difficult to see that this is a prosperous city. But at this time, the yellow leaves on both sides of the street were not cleaned. Refugees were sitting on the ground. The shops were closed. The shops with the doors opened were forcibly opened by the refugee doors. The broken wooden doors of the shops showed what they had gone through. confusion. Unimaginable, this is still the prosperous and beautiful Frans city a year ago.
Two people in black cloaks hurriedly walked in a deep alley in Frans. One of the cloaks was slightly bloated, and it seemed that there was more than one of them.
"Miss, it's getting dark, let's go." An old urging sound came from the black cloak behind.
The person in the black cloak in front of him picked up the pace a bit faster. Under the black cloak is a woman with a fair and white face. The golden hair shows her good identity, but she looks very haggard at this time. Under the cloak, she is still holding a half-sized girl in her hands. The little girl estimates She was only eleven or twelve years old. She was dressed gorgeously but very thin. Under the sleeves was a white arm. The little girl hugged the woman’s neck. Although she could see that the little girl’s condition was not very good, she did not shout. Just holding the woman quietly.
The two walked to a wooden door deep in the alley. The man in the cloak behind came forward and patted the door. Not long after, a 17 or 18-year-old woman with the appearance of a maid opened a crack in the door and saw the two people at the door. They immediately opened the door, and after the two entered, they closed the wooden door and plunged into darkness again.
