Uncle Yorkiak took off his casual clothes after entering the door, put it on the hanger, and sat on the sofa on the side. Locke did the same, put his casual clothes away, and sat on the other side. The two men in military leather shirts were not in a hurry to speak. Locke first opened the bottle, filled Uncle York with a glass, and then filled himself with a glass. After a "touch", the two After a drink, I started talking about business.

"Yes, I am getting more and more calm. It seems that your kid has grown a lot these years." Uncle Yorkiak said first. It is incredible. In the eyes of outsiders, the bold and rugged Yoshak actually educates a man with calmness. It seems that this big beard is not as simple as it looks.

"Uncle Yorkiak, you laughed, I learned everything from you." Locke said shyly.

"Haha, don't you kidding! How can I teach you this, am I that kind of person?" Uncle Yoshak scolded with a smile. After that, the two laughed in unison.

"Uncle, is there any hope for me to be promoted this time?" Locke filled the two with another glass, and finally couldn't help but ask after opening.

"Rock, you have been my leader since you were a soldier, and now I have been with you for four years. I saw you as a son. I will definitely help you when you are promoted this time." Uncle Ke assured Locke that he really liked this clever and capable young man.

"Uncle, I believe in you!" Locke did believe in Uncle Yoshak, and he also regarded Yoshak as an adult. "However, your help should not be enough. I need to take care of you and me. Talk about it." Locke asked.

"It's not enough to have my support, but I will call Old Karl to support you. You still need to manage the rest." Old Karl is the deputy squadron captain of their squadron. I heard that he and Uncle Yoshak There was a fateful friendship. Outsiders seemed to be a serious old soldier with no sand in his eyes, but he was very good to his soldiers. Locke had a good impression of him.

"Well, what else can you say to Uncle Yoshak? I'll listen." Uncle Yoshak obviously has something to say.

"These two seats are vacated in this election. The six squadrons and deputy captains of our four teams, the captain of the cavalry, and our captain, Baron Kedozi, are eligible to propose. The eldest son of the cavalry squadron, now the deputy captain Sauron.” Their battalion is a large squadron, with four squadron infantry and one squadron cavalry. Locke has seen their battalion cavalry battles many times. To be honest, Locke feels that this team of cavalry has challenged three times their number of infantry in open terrain. With strong armor, straight knight's long spear and the impact of war horses, most infantrymen are not an enemy of cavalry. "In this election, Baron Kedozi will not participate, nor will the captain of the cavalry. The proposal should be the six of us and Master Sauron. I have already won two votes for you, and you will at least pay the rest. I have to draw two more votes," Uncle York said to Locke.

"The first squadron I only have a little friendship with their deputy squadron captain, and I have no friendship with the third squadron deputy squadron captain and the fourth squadron captain, and they are said to be still recuperating?" Locke answered honestly. Asked.

"Hmph, the tough battle is over. It's time to search for oil and water. The two guys have only been able to take care of their injuries for two weeks and they can't help it. They have taken the rest of their team and just refilled in. The recruit's egg went'wandering'." Uncle Yorkiak said disdainfully.

'Wandering' is a term used in the army, which means to capture villages still under the rule of the Charlowe Kingdom. It is not so much a capture as a mopping up. A resistance force like a village is not a climate, and there is no regular army. There are mostly militiamen and reckless villagers. Large villages have one or two hundred people, and small villages have only dozens of people. One squadron can handle them. In fact, their squadron, under the leadership of Uncle Yoshak, has been ‘wandering’ as long as there is time for these two months.

The main task of their battalion is to capture towns with a little resistance, and only in cities above the size of the town will there be merchants, rich farmers, and even nobles. Baron Kedozi and his cavalry were not very interested in villages with little oil and water. Only four infantry squadrons would go for extra money. However, the baron’s caravan would buy the materials confiscated by the soldiers: the silver bracelets handed down by the villagers, the fur collected by the hunters in the village, and even horses, cows, and donkeys. There are also some good clothes and shoes, and the soldiers will keep them for themselves when they "scan it."

The soldiers have their own bottom line. At least food is not robbed, and the barracks also strictly prohibit it, but if you catch two chickens and ducks to improve the food, this is often done. Locke is also a rural person. Originally, he was not ashamed of doing these things that bullied the ordinary people, but after the sacrifice and death in the war, he didn't know what attitude he had towards these Charlottes. There is hatred and guilt for the ordinary civilians who were beaten by them. However, this does not prevent Locke from making a fortune, he also needs to survive, and needs to make his family and his brothers live better. Some time ago, Locke had a big pocket, and he often sent money to his family and invited his men to drink, which was the fortune at that time.

"Uncle, we haven't been'wandering' for almost a week, are we about to start?" Back to the topic, Locke asked.

"Well, a decision has been made. Lord Baron will join forces with Baron Kasher of the 7th Battalion of our Corps to attack here in Frans. This is the reason why two squadron captains have to be elected in the near future. Moreover, this There aren’t any villages with oil and water nearby.” Normal cities have walls and moats. It is difficult to win with more than 500 people in their brigade alone, so high-level leaders often choose to cooperate with friendly forces and they attack the Shire. It has been two months in the hinterland of the Luo Kingdom, and three city-level battles have been fought, all in cooperation with other brigades. Locke also has experience in siege battles. Although the casualties of the siege were not low, the generous rewards after the city was broken, and the army's tacit approval of the soldiers to make a fortune on the day the city broke, made everyone's desire for siege war greater than their fear of death. In fact, the fortunes made on the day of breaking the city are the top priority for the soldiers. The baron of Kashgar has cooperated with their battalion twice.

The two talked while drinking, and after a while a bottle of ale bottomed out. Locke opened the second bottle and filled it with Uncle Yoshak and himself. Uncle Yoshak raised his glass and took a sip and said, "The deputy squadron of the first squadron is also from our mine town. I also have some friendship with him. Give him some gifts. I will go and say, try to win this. One vote. As for the remaining three people, I am not familiar with them or even deal with them. This requires your own efforts." In the barracks, there are still a lot of nasty among the big soldiers, not to mention the squadron leader's class. Even the well-known Locke can't guarantee that he has a good relationship with half of the squad leader in the camp. Knowing the person, knowing the face and not knowing the heart, this is the truth.

"I suggest you find a way from Master Sauron." Uncle Yorkiak added, as if he was thinking of something again. "You and Master Sauron are both 18 and 9-year-old young people, and they have a common language. You may be able to find him to show your loyalty or give some gifts. But in that case, you will be the eldest master in the future." Baron Kedozi There is more than one son. Although the eldest son inheritance system prevails in the Kingdom of Faustan, the other sons of the baron are not without the opportunity to inherit the title. As far as he knows, it is his second son who is temporarily helping the baron manage the territory in the country.

"I am a nobleman, what gift can I give you a favor?" Locke said helplessly, "Well, let me think of a way."

"I knew you kid had a way. The only thing I can help is that. The rest is up to you." Uncle Yorkiak patted Locke on the shoulder and said.

"Okay, uncle, I will work hard. Come on, finish this cup." Locke raised his glasses and clinked with Uncle Yoshak again.
