Back in the yard in the afternoon, Xia Qian went to Rafi excitedly to bring her earrings. Earrings have always been the right and symbol of Charlo's nobility. Common people have no chance or right to wear earrings. But now the Charlo country is almost gone, who cares?
Grace has always had a kind of aristocratic aura, Xia Qian, who is usually pressured, doesn’t dare to talk to her, and Christine always eats Locke’s "tofu", so Xia Qian’s relationship with Lafite is among several people. It was the best. After Rafie retrieved her bracelet from Locke, she became less hostile to Locke, and of course she gradually had a touch of friendship with Xia Qian in the same country.
Lafite showed a complicated expression when she saw the earrings that the lady had made her **** in front of her eyes. But she didn't say bad, just put it on Xia Qian seriously. "It might hurt a little, you hold back." Rafi said.
"Don't worry." Xia Qian waved her hand, not paying attention to the pain of piercing her ears.
At dinner, the eyes of several people stayed on Xia Qian. "How about it, okay?" Xia Qian danced her wrists happily, revealing the silver bracelet, and cocked her hands to show her new earrings.
"That's aunt..." Christine stared at it for a long time, and finally recognized it, opening her mouth to say.
Grace patted Christine on the head, interrupted what she wanted to say, and commented, "It's really good."
Being praised by Grace, Xia Qian was very proud of her, so she clung to Locke next to her even more and put her head on Locke's shoulder. When Christine saw it, she immediately refused to accept it and joined the battlefield of Nenlock, forgetting the facts she wanted to expose before.
For this meal, Locke was sitting with one in his arms, one on his left, and he could only eat with his free right hand. The thief and the others who had to be guest appearances from time to time were really painful and happy.
During the period, Grace pretended to inadvertently ask where the earrings came from, and Locke said that it was given to him by a peddler. Grace showed such an expression as expected.
After dinner, it was completely dark. Several people went back to their houses. Locke did not go out tonight, and entered the house with Xia Qian early. In this place, there are no entertainment activities, and Locke’s daily happy hour is the evening, which can be... hehe.
Grace and others have not slept very well these days, because every night there are excited screams and dull crashing sounds coming from the next door. Even more tonight, in order to repay Locke for her care and consideration, Xia Qian tried her best to serve Locke. A wonderful night.
Two days later, the Baron held several meetings with several squadron captains, and after clarifying the mission objectives, the troops had to go out again. This time, they will arrive in Conor City, where the Corps headquarters is located, within a week. Within half a month, their Second Infantry Regiment will join the entire Corps in front of Entel City.
Entel City is the largest city of Charlo after Otis, the capital city. It is said that the light city walls are more than 20 meters high, and the only elites of the Charlois are stationed. Why the resistance of Faustin’s army after breaking through the Fermer Grand Canyon was so weak that it could be reduced to zero, because Charloh gathered the remaining professional soldiers in Entel, Ellie The city of Sri Lanka and the city of Otis, the capital, made the final struggle.
The entire Eagle Corps has 30,000 people, six regiments, of which four infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment, and one logistics regiment. So many people only attacked Entel City, which shows that it was indeed a tough battle. Locke dared not take it lightly.
After occupying the city of Frans, Baron Kedozi left some soldiers and transport teams and continued to mobilize. Although it was a private army, it still belonged to the Eagle Corps in name. His old man was still a deputy of the Eagle Corps. Legion commander, must go to the war this time.
Since the meeting was first, then Baron Kedoqi and Baron Kasher joined forces together.
Locke still rode a war horse, walking in the middle of the team, and Xia Qian, Grace and others were placed in the transport team behind the team. He didn't feel comfortable keeping Xia Qian in Français. After this kind of troops left, there were not a few riots in the originally occupied city. He didn't want to gamble.
As for Grace, well, his property should be taken with him. Grace is different from Xia Qian. If Xia Qian's beauty is acceptable, Grace's nobility and stunningness will surely cause uproar. In order not to cause unnecessary troubles, Grace and others consciously put on a veil. The people in the transportation team also knew that this was Locke’s woman, and they all took care of them, but sometimes they would sneer, "The other squadron captains are at most two women. This guy is good, four at once, and children!"
The news reached the ears of other squadron leaders, and they just laughed and said, "It's better to be young."
There was no danger during the march. Now in the Shire Road, apart from a strong city like Frans City, there is almost no resistance anywhere else, there are only some bandits. The bandits could only bully and bully them Charlo's own people, facing Faustin's regular army, they did not dare to show their heads.
"Why are there no bad guys?" Christine asked her aunt Grace. Their journey from the royal capital to Frans was not so peaceful, it would be difficult for them to move without a family guard.
"Because wolves can only bully sheep, they must run away when they meet a lion," Grace said.
Christine nodded her head seemingly understanding.
Locke took the second trafficker Kebi with him this time, and sent him to the logistics office to work with Xia Qian's brother. Kerby is an individual talent, and he can recognize many precious objects. Many things captured by the Locke squadron along the way are under his control.
And he still has a good network. They will pass through a few small towns and two small towns before meeting with the Corps headquarters. They are all small towns with little resistance, according to the two barons. The two barons of the Battle of Français were full of greasy mouths, and they were already crushing the little things.
The Baron doesn't like it, but Locke and the squadron captains are not. Locke has privately discussed a partnership with Uncle York.
Keby is a personal spirit, and without Locke's request, he consciously stood up and expressed his willingness to take them to copy his former home.
In the war years, smugglers and Erdao traffickers are indeed a group of living and moisturizing guys. According to him, there are several gangs in those towns, the size of which is similar to the people he used to.
Locke promised Kerby that he would let him go as long as he copied 100 gold coins. 100 gold coins are enough for Kindler around 50, which is not a small amount of money.
50 of Locke’s 200 silver delers asked the caravan to send them back to their hometown. Although there are only parents and sisters in the family, it is estimated that they can’t use so much money, but sending money home is the habit of every soldier who goes out to fight. .
The remaining Qian Locke was handed over to Xia Qian. Xia Qian had taken care of the tavern before and had a good mind. She planned to participate in the transport team in the name of Locke. 150 Yindele is not worth mentioning in the eyes of several caravan stewards, but since he is a squadron leader, no matter how little money he has, he has to pay a lot of face.
This is the shrewdness of Xia Qian. With this skill, Locke will be able to earn dozens or even hundreds of silver Delek every time after the war. And it will add value.
Along the way, passing through two small cities and three small towns, Baron Kedozi and Baron Kashgar joined in order to arrive on time. They all chose to be crushed by the cavalry squadron, and several towns were breached without a trace of resistance.
However, although it was breached, it did not enter the city for a careful search. It only broke up Charlo's resistance and opened a way for the subsequent transport team and other troops.
This gave Locke an opportunity. It was at this moment that Locke and Uncle Yoshak each took fifty people and copied a small town. Although it was just an ordinary town, there were probably hundreds of people in the town, enough for Locke and them to eat.
Not only Locke and the others did it, but several squadron captains of the other squadrons couldn't bear their loneliness, and each pulled their people and knocked on a small town. Baron Kedozi just turned a blind eye to this. The baron knows that an excellent leader must learn to delegate power and be considerate of his subordinates.
Although what the squadron leaders do may affect his combat plan, the result is good. Of course, if something goes wrong, the one who should be backed up is still to be backed up. It is the way for the troops to stand on the basis of rewards and punishments.
Later, even Baron Kasher's troops couldn't bear it anymore, and several squadron captains cleared the last town.
Loke and more than 100 people, it is enough to eat one town, and others have to be left to others, otherwise they will be jealous. This is what Uncle Yorkiak taught him.
As for why not choose a city, unless they do their best and have to take no small risks, it is impossible to win a city with high walls, even if the formal forces have been broken up by them.
However, this does not prevent Locke from making a fortune, and the second trafficker Kerby brought Locke a lot of surprises.
