It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and most of the people were awake, and Locke got up and began to greet his men. "Let's go and drink outside the camp! I didn't even fall asleep this hot day!" Locke complained.
"Boss, long live!" Locke's team members are very excited about the free drinks immediately. In such a hot day, only iced ale can soothe the hot hearts of these big soldiers.
"Kane, you first take the brethren to the Green Palm Tavern, each with a glass of ale, and then book me a private room, tell the proprietress, the account is on my head; Hans, you and I go to the Captain of the York Squadron. "Locke ordered.
"Okay, boss". The two replied.
Locke took Hans to Uncle York's military tent, "Uncle York, go for a drink!" As soon as he entered the military tent, Locke shouted at Uncle York who seemed to have just woke up.
"I see, your kid has a lower voice, and my head is shaking from you." Uncle Yorkiak joked.
"Uncle, hurry up, the Green Palm Tavern in Giza Town outside the camp. I have arranged someone to book a private room." Locke said.
"Well, let's go." Uncle Yorkhak wore casual clothes and set off with Locke. "This is Hans, the young man has grown a lot stronger." Uncle Yorkiak also had a little impression of the young man in the same town.
"Yeah, uncle, I'm very satisfied with my body now. It's okay to fight three Charlo Barbarians," Hans said.
"This guy can eat to be so strong. He can eat two meals a day." Locke said with a smile.
"Soldiers just want to be able to eat! You see how much I eat at one meal. Your kid is healthy, but he is still a little thin."
Uncle Yorkiak is not very satisfied with Locke's size. Locke is now 1.76 meters tall. In fact, this is a bit taller than most soldiers. He has a well-proportioned physique and weighs 150 kilograms. Compared to Uncle York's 1.9 meters tall, he weighs almost three hundred kilograms. Even Hans is 1.8 meters tall and weighs more than two hundred.
A group of three people walked outside the camp talking and laughing.
The town of Giza outside the camp is the territory of the former Kingdom of Charlo. After the Kingdom of Faustine stormed the Fermer Canyon two months ago, the Kingdom of Charlo would not have any big natural dangers and resistance. The big army divided up, middle and down to attack the depths of the hinterland of the Kingdom of Charlotte, pointing directly to the city of Otis, the capital of Charlotte, and crushing it all the way to the present. The Eagle Corps attacked from the south. Because the resistance on this route was sporadic resistance, the legion commander decided to disperse the team. Four infantry regiments of 20,000, with an average of 500 men as a battalion, participated in the village-level offensive. For attacking cities or large territories and then re-integrating them into corps, a corps of 5,000 people, the corps command only left the cavalry and logistics corps with a total of 10,000 left behind.
The town of Giza is a small town in the southern part of the Kingdom of Charlo. This small town has just experienced the baptism of war. Walking on the side of the road, houses burning into coke and dark-faced beggars can be seen everywhere. These people looked down at Locke and them with fear and panic eyes. The standard of the army of the Kingdom of Faustine revealed Locke's identity. War always destroys something. Locke and his battalion captured this place two weeks ago. The lessons of blood and fire made the remaining residents of this small town accept these strangers.
The owner of the Green Palm Tavern is a wonderful person. It is said that he betrayed his motherland before the army of the Faustan Kingdom arrived. By betraying the defense force of the town and personally grabbing the town mayor, Green The owner of the Palm Tavern succeeded in obtaining the olive branch of Baron Kedozi, the actual controller of Locke's camp after giving a large sum of money. The Green Palm Tavern should be the only business in the town at the moment, and his clients are soldiers in the barracks.
As for why so many soldiers are willing to drink outside the camp, one is that there are very few high-level military camps here, and the highest level of the team leader is drinking here. Here these big soldiers can talk freely, drink and brag at will. ; Second, the cost here is very low, because as an occupied area, the original currency of the Kingdom of Charlo is almost out of use. Dele is now a hard currency. A large glass of ale only needs one copper dele, which is cheaper than the camp. Halfway through, there are also some other jobs here part-time. Because of the war, many poor women who can't open the pot come here to earn extra money. Some of them are voluntary, some are forced by others, but no one cares about them in the war zone where the law has not yet been established. Because the price is cheaper and fresher than the women in the munitions camp, no matter how strict military discipline is, the hearts of this group of hot soldiers cannot be controlled. With the hidden business of the Green Palm Tavern, the trend is getting bigger and bigger. Open one eye and close one eye. In fact, this is commonplace in the occupied areas. The low-level civilians of the Charlow Kingdom have how much farming work this year because of the local war, and what do they eat without farming? Can only sell blood and meat. . . . . .
Locke and his party came to the Green Palm Tavern. As soon as they entered the door, a strong smell of sweat and noise rushed over their faces. It seems that many people have already come to patronize. Sure enough, after seeing a lot of familiar faces, Locke and the others smiled and nodded to each other. Uncle Yoshak was even more popular. After all, there are many boys from his squadron here as the captain of the four powerful squadrons of their battalion. For one, Uncle Yorkiak is also considered a high-level one, and many people came forward to greet him. Uncle Yorkiak just nodded slightly.
"Boss, here!" A loud shout came. Sure enough, Kane and his gang had already occupied a few tables in the corner of the tavern. Looking at the large glass of ale on their table, it seemed that it was still Wait for Locke and them.
Uncle Yorkiak was still socializing around, and Locke first led Hans to the table of their team. "You drink first, I have something to discuss with Yoshak Squadron Captain, Kane, go to Hans and order a drink." Locke ordered the team members.
"Okay, boss." Kane nodded and handed Locke a key, which is the key to the private room upstairs.
"Hans, you and the brethren are drinking, I went to discuss things with Uncle York." Locke said to Hans again.
"Well, you go." Hans nodded, watching not far from the front desk that Kane had brought him a large glass of ale and came, Hans smiled and showed his yellow teeth, this guy That's good.
"Brothers drink first, and I will come down later." Locke walked towards Uncle Yoshak.
"Boss, go." "Holly, Boss." "Boss, we're waiting for you.". . . . . . The team members all said.
"Uncle, let's go up." Locke said to Uncle Yoshak. Uncle Yoshak was still chatting with the soldiers who greeted him. After listening, he nodded to Locke, and said to the people around, "I have something else, lads continue to drink." "Okay, Captain." "Captain." , Goodbye." "Captain, come down and have a drink with us."
The soldiers around were not without winks, they nodded in response. Locke's use of the word ‘uncle’ here to call the captain of the Yoshak squadron is not without meaning, which shows his unusual relationship with the squadron captain. Fighting in the barracks is also everywhere, and a small title also reflects Locke's good background. Letting people listen to Locke's influence has also increased a lot. What's more, people at a certain level can probably guess what they are talking with the squadron leader during this time period, and there are a few soldiers around here who have slightly changed expressions.
Locke and Uncle Yoshak went upstairs from the stairs at the corner of the front desk, during which they nodded with the tavern proprietress at the front desk. This is a woman with red wavy and curly hair, and her name is Xia Qian. After all, when you are drinking and talking, you have to meet your host. Xia Qian winked her eyes and said she knew. Locke thought to this charming fairy.
Upstairs, there was a row of five or six private rooms. Locke took the key to find their private room and opened the door. The room is small, less than 20 square meters. The room has a window through which you can see the verdant mountains in the distance. There is a table by the window, a sofa on each side of the table, and a not delicate but eye-catching screen at the door. There is a small hanger standing next to it. On the table are two glasses, two bottles of ale, glass bottles and oak corks. The overall layout of the room makes people feel very comfortable. Locke has been here once, and Locke, who has never been arty, feels that drinking here is very good, so I am deeply impressed. This is a woman who can do business, Locke commented on the proprietress.
