Chapter 2

Four years of war life gave Locke the habit of eating quickly. He quickly wiped his hands after eating and said to Hans, "Hans, let's go".

Locke came to the Quartermaster camp again. It was noon. Most people were either sleeping or soaking in the tavern. Locke went straight to the post station behind the Quartermaster camp, took Hans's money bag and entered the post station.

"Warner! Warner!" Cried Locke.

"I'm dying! You're dying! Damn Locke, I heard you. You don't even have a good nap, you damn guy!" Warner, who was in charge of the post station communication obligations, came out of a room in the post station. He complained, "send money to your family again? Come on, give it to me!"

"Here, it's mine. It's those guys in my team. Don't mix it up!" Locke warned.

"I know, I know. It's not the first time to send you money. Other teams are not as fussy as you!" Warner still complained that Locke woke him up for a nap.

"You boy, if you're confused, let me clean you up." Locke grinned at the lucky guy. He is lucky because the person in charge of his post station not only enjoys the military salary of the third class soldier, but also the most important thing is the safety of this post. After all, everything can go wrong, except logistics. And in this post, you don't have to look at people's faces. The general team leader really doesn't dare to annoy Warner. However, there is no way to promote here. Warner was in charge of the post station when Locke was a third class soldier. Now Locke has been promoted to a second class soldier for more than a year, and he is still here. However, it is said that he is related to the Baron's housekeeper, and I think there will be a way to go in the future.

"Well, are there any other requirements? Take a message or something." Warner hasn't been dealing with Locke for two days. He knows that this guy always brings a word to his family every time he receives military pay and sends money back.

"Well, take a message to my parents to let them pay attention to their health, and my sister, so that she doesn't have to save money and buy what she wants. I don't lack that money now." Locke had already thought about what to say. He believed that his sister knew what he wanted her to buy. A scarf with hair tied. This was Locke's obsession.

"Well, I see. The caravan led by kaiduoqi will set out tomorrow, first to Peters, the occupied area of Eastern tyre Province, then to Wangdu flor City, and finally to our southern del province. It can be sent back in 20 days at the latest." Warner said. After greeting warner for a while, Locke left. He doesn't bother Warner's lunch break. Although Warner is lonely now, Locke is busy in the afternoon. Because the rates are paid today.

Out of the post station, Locke took Hans back to their team's camp. "Hans, what do you think our village is like now?" On the way back, Locke and Hans were chatting. They came from the same village, and their two families are neighbors.

"It's the same as before. The maple tree at the entrance of the village should be bigger. My brother has another son this year. Now I have three nephews. My family's land will not worry in the future. It's said that this year's harvest is very good. The village killed a pig for our military household, each family has a share, and..." Hans was usually a dull man, but as soon as he opened the clip, he couldn't stop talking until they returned to the camp.

"This war has been fought for four years and is coming to an end. I really want to go back quickly," Locke sighed.

After Locke and Hans return to their team's tent, all the rest of the team are on lunch break except for the servant Phil on duty. Those who have been on the battlefield understand that abundant energy can make you live longer on the battlefield.

Locke went to his bed, took off his coat and went to bed, but he didn't sleep. He was thinking about how he should operate and be promoted to first class as soon as possible. The army of the kingdom of Faustin has its own promotion system: servants, cannon fodder on the battlefield, who have just joined the army after two months of training; Third class soldiers, the main combat force in the Royal Army, need more than two years of service (more than one year in wartime) and have the strength to deal with three servants; Second class soldiers, serving as the team leader of 10 people in the army, need more than three years of service (more than two years in wartime) and have the strength to deal with three third class soldiers; The first-class soldier is the trump card combat effectiveness in the army. To serve as the leader of a hundred people Squadron, you need to have more than four years of service (more than three years in the war) and have the strength to defeat at least three second-class soldiers. Yes, it is defeat, because the first-class soldier has the right to practice fighting Qigong; As for the promotion of first-class soldiers to Knights, the army did not make it clear that it would not be public until it reached that level.

Locke knew his strength and dealt with three second-class soldiers of the same level as himself. If he tried hard, there was no problem in a short time. His military age was enough, but he didn't know whether he could be promoted. There were many soldiers in their barracks who were similar to his strength. Because of the battle two months ago, one third of the casualties of their battalion were killed. The leader of the third squadron and the deputy leader of the fourth squadron died. Only then did two seats be empty. There were many monks and few monks. I don't know how many people secretly stared at these two seats.

Locke shuddered at the thought of the battle two months ago, which was second only to the bloody battle in Gordon highland. In order to win the Fermo Grand Canyon leading to the hinterland of the enemy, the three legions of the Kingdom filled it with their lives regardless of casualties. In order to break the deadlock, the three legions took turns to attack the canyon highland, It is said that the enemy defending the canyon has only one regiment, so how can it be defended. The battle was very difficult. The enemy fought hard to keep this last front. Locke experienced more than once that the seriously injured enemy soldiers recklessly attacked after being surrounded by his own side. Is this to protect his home? Locke asked himself, if his kingdom was invaded, would he do so? Remembering that his army successfully defeated the large forces of the kingdom of Sherlock last year and occupied what Peters did in the kingdom of Sherlock after taking over, burning, killing and looting, people with slight assets were demoted as slaves, beautiful women were either robbed by aristocrats or as military prostitutes, and his simple parents and kind sisters, Locke also understood these opponents, Because under the same circumstances, Locke will do harder.

Facing this bloody opponent, Locke was full of respect, but he was not soft hearted. This is a war, and his brother is suffering casualties.

The three legions stormed for nearly a month before they won the Fermo Grand Canyon. Their battalion belongs to the eagle regiment and is the fifth brigade of the second infantry regiment of the eagle regiment. In that battle, the second infantry regiment was the vanguard of the whole regiment, and the third squadron and the fourth squadron of their battalion were the vanguards of their battalion. The first battle was attacked by their two squadrons. The killing never stopped. Even Locke, who was repairing in the rear at that time, could hear screams, yells The sound of swords colliding. From time to time, there was a fireball or lightning in the sky. It was said that it was the power of magic. Blood dyed the whole sky red.

When it was Locke's turn to join their squadron and the first squadron in the attack, the third and fourth squadrons withdrawn from their battalion had been reduced by nearly half, which caused great panic to the soldiers in the barracks. However, Locke, who had fought for four years, suppressed his panic. Locke, who had lived on a battlefield like a meat grinder for four years, knew a truth and could not be timid on the battlefield, The more afraid you are, the faster you die. In that battle, under the command of Locke, their team avoided several waves of magic bombing. Locke didn't fight hard against the enemy. This kind of enemy with death ambition was the most difficult to provoke. He chose to suggest that the squadron leader uncle yoshak participate in the war on the flank of the canyon. There are many dangerous walls and rocks, which are easy to avoid bow, arrow and magic attacks. The enemy's garrison strength is not much, which is a soft persimmon, And occupying the commanding heights on the flanks of the canyon is a credit.

After all, war is a war. Locke's team still killed two people, private Gree, a sword and shield hand with great strength, servant gale, a humorous little boy, only 16 years old. In this war, Locke personally captured a second-class soldier, a third-class soldier and five or six servants who were slightly injured. The price was that Locke was stabbed in the right chest and many minor injuries. The final result was that their team killed a total of one second-class soldier, five third-class soldiers and more than ten servant soldiers. They had such a great record not only because they fought more and played less from beginning to end, but also because their team had strong cohesion.

After killing the enemy, take their waist token to exchange military merit in the camp. Servants account for 1 point of military merit in the army, third-class soldiers account for 5 points and second-class soldiers account for 10 points. Locke has saved almost 50 points of military merit now. In the barracks, military merit can be exchanged for promotion, and 100 military merit can be exchanged for the rank of first-class soldier; In addition, as money, soldiers can buy everything they want in the Quartermaster camp through military merit, which is more versatile and more powerful than yindele; Finally, it can be changed into money, one military merit for one silver. It is the choice of most soldiers to exchange military merit for money. After two years of drought in the kingdom of forstan, food prices remain high. Most soldiers are to keep their families alive. The money exchanged for military merit dare not be embezzled and can not be embezzled. If the money is sent back to their families, their relatives can live.

Locke has always exchanged his military achievements for money, but he changed his mind after last year's bloody battle in Gordon highland. If he can't live, how can he make his family better. The cannon fodder at the bottom died the most and the fastest on the battlefield, and the servant died the fastest in high-intensity war. Even he, a small and powerful third-class soldier at that time, finally hid in the pile of dead people after exhaustion. After that bloody battle, his strength has made great progress. With the care of a large number of enemy waist cards captured and uncle yoshak who has also survived and has been promoted to the squadron captain, he became a small captain and separated from the category of big soldiers.

Locke considered that his current strength should be in the middle of these people participating in the competition. Although his military merit is not necessarily the highest, he must be higher than most people. There is still a certain opportunity to improve his military rank this time. I believe uncle York will also help himself.
