Locke received the news today that it was half a month later that their battalion needed to arrive in the small town of lemosa in front of entel. The war has dragged on long enough. The military headquarters issued a strict order to attack entel Cheng in half a month, completely disintegrating Charlotte's effective power.
In the evening, Locke called Hans. After explaining, Hans left with a team of soldiers.
At night, Giza town is like a ghost land. It is gloomy. There are dilapidated houses and collapsed buildings everywhere. Only the sound of Xi Suo shows that there are still people alive in this town.
Hagen has had a good time recently. I didn't expect his wife to be close to a big man and rise with him. He used to be a tavern owner. He couldn't do anything else. He was good at observing words and expressions. He had already seen Charlotte's defeat and took refuge in the forstans. But I don't have any barrier. It's normal to kick it open after being used by foster, but not now. Hagen is confident.
Hagen walked drunk on the roadside of Giza town. He went to one of his lovers' homes. Although the war destroyed everything, it was not bad for him. At least he was better than others. The road at night is always bumpy. Hagen has tripped once. He continues to walk swearing, and some beggars and refugees around him are kicked and beaten at will.
Suddenly, a dark figure hit. "You don't have eyes when you step on the horse!..." Hagen scolded angrily, but then there was no sound. The moonlight shone, revealing the dark shadow of his majestic body. Hans, holding a short dagger, looked at Hagen with a knife in his throat.
"Ho ho..." Hagen opened his eyes wide and pointed to the shadow to say something. At last, he twisted his head and lost his breath.
A group of people appeared behind the shadow. They quickly cleaned up the scene. Finally, the shadow and the group of people disappeared in the night, leaving only a headless body.
The beggars and refugees gathered together slowly. After observing that there was no danger around, they rushed up and robbed a few clothes on their bodies.
A beggar smiled and took out a coin from somewhere in his body, but he was soon robbed by another stronger beggar. After the fight, there was nothing on the ground. I don't know where the half body was kicked by the crowd.
In a basement in Giza Town, dozens of yellow skinned people gathered here to keep warm. There was only a pile of small wood burning on the ground, and most of the people around were wearing only one or two thin coarse cloth. There are men and women, old and young.
Hans and his party appeared here and saw this situation. They saw it more and didn't feel it much.
It seems that many people here know them and are surprised, but they are more afraid and hesitant. A thin middle-aged man stood up. He seemed to be the leader here.
Hans didn't talk nonsense to these people. He threw his hand out of Hagen's head. "The underground world of this town will be watched by you later, but the monthly handover is 20% higher than before, otherwise he will be an example!"
The middle-aged man didn't seem to have digested the information he had just got. In amazement, he said, "Sir, he's not angry with us?"
"As long as you do well, we won't do anything to you. In short, we should make achievements for us, otherwise..." Hans coldly threatened.
The middle-aged man was surprised and immediately replied, "definitely 20% more than Hagen."
Hans snorted coldly and led the people away without much nonsense.
When the middle-aged man saw that they were all gone, his body seemed to be hollowed out and sat down decadent. "Big brother, we sent it this time," the younger brothers around said excitedly. The old people and women also smiled. Only the children looked at these adults in ignorance.
The middle-aged people are the people who robbed Shaxi tavern. After being taught a lesson by Locke, they had a bad time. Later, Locke became the squadron captain, and more people wanted to find fault with them.
The middle-aged man used to be a small businessman with a little mind, otherwise he would not be the leader of this group of people. He always hopes to lead them to a good life, even if it is disgraceful.
The refugees here came from the same town. Charlotte lost the war and the domestic mountain bandits ran rampant. They had to flee. Middle aged people had no way out to rob. At that time, only Xiaxi's green palm tavern was still open.
That's when he got into Locke. In those days, they starved to death several old people and children. There was no way to live. He didn't dare to anger Locke. Now there is a chance to live better. Although it is a black force, it can live better. Whatever so much, even the opportunity given by the enemy can't be given up.
Middle aged people plan to work hard and never end up like Hagen.
After the soldiers stopped "patrolling" in Flanders, the city finally quieted down, and some Charlotte people began to walk in the street, but they were still timid, as if they could not forget the arrogance of foster soldiers when the city was broken.
For ordinary civilians in Charlotte, forstein soldiers still don't do anything special, because it's not necessary.
Locke and shassy walk between Flanders to feel the flavor of exotic towns. Xia Xi had never been to a big city like Flanders before. She was more curious about big cities than Locke. But at this time, there was no bustling scene on the street. A few shops were opened by the caravans of Locke camp and Kashgar Baron camp, and all they sold was food.
This kind of shop collects everything. Jewelry, coins, weapons and armor picked up on the battlefield can be exchanged for food. There is only one kind of food called coal cake. This kind of food is black with carbon particles on the surface, so it is called coal cake. If the bran chestnut cake is made from the husk of Cereals, the coal cake is made from the bottom of the pot after the bran chestnut cake is finished. Even mice despise it, but at this time, it was flocked by the Charlottes.
Locke had eaten the coal cake. When he ate it, his throat was dry and astringent. It smoked. If he ate too much, he would have stomachache and no nutrition. If he ate it for a few days, he would have weakness in his limbs. If bran chestnut cake sometimes plays a guest role in the food of horses, coal cake is absolutely impossible, unless you want the horses in the army to be weak and immovable.
Charlotte people are not fools, but they can't help it, especially their "city people". If they are like the countryside of Giza Town, people can still find food in the fields and in the woods, but in the city, you can't find anything to eat except the yard with several fruit trees.
Most of the merchants in their camp who sold coal cakes knew Locke and greeted Locke with a smile. In the shop on the other side of the Baron of Kashgar, one of the people watching the market happened to be Sean, who drank with Locke that day.
"Brother Locke, why are you here free?" Sean is teaching a refugee a lesson. He should be dizzy with hunger and rob food.
Locke is indeed a strange squadron leader. If other squadron leaders are not practicing or happy in their own residence, or go to the baron or other squadron leaders, Locke seems to have nothing to do. If they are not fooling around with lower level soldiers on the street all day, they are just fooling around.
In Gerson's words, "Locke is still young after all and has not adapted to the life of the squadron captain."
In the words of master Sauron, "Locke likes excitement."
But only uncle yoshake is most accurate. "Locke is developing with his own ability." These words are so evil that few people who have heard them understand.
Locke has been away for many years. At the age of 14, he rolls among the dead. He wants to have a good life and enjoy it more than anyone else. However, his perennial life gave him a deep sense of hardship. He wants to do everything to develop himself.
The rest of the squadron leaders choose to climb up, attract the same level and attach to the higher level. Although Locke also knows these things, he has little contact before and has not adapted to this state. But instead of being discouraged, he chose another path.
He believes that he can be the leader of the team now. He will not be too miserable in the future. It's no use to himself now. What about the future? Don't deny anyone's value.
So he got along well with the team leader who was not his own Squadron, and even had several good friends with the team leader under the Baron of Kashgar. So he chose the underworld forces in Giza Town, which no one in their camp can see. Although there is less money to be filial now, what about the future? Giza town is an important traffic road. He doesn't believe that the town will not develop.
"Come out and have a look." Locke said, putting his arm around Shaxi's waist.
"Is this your sister-in-law? Brother Locke, you have an eye." Then Sean shouted to a caravan man behind him, "dak, where's the silver bracelet your boy received yesterday? Take it out to your sister-in-law."
After a clever guy promised, he ran out of the caravan and handed it to Locke respectfully. After playing with it, Locke gave it to Xia Xi, who was already excited. This is her first jewelry and the most precious one.
To tell you the truth, it's really a boutique. It's a little better than other things found from the second dealer Kebi's box that day. Locke patted Sean on the shoulder.
Xia Xi has long admired the jewelry of grace and others who live in the same hospital. The sapphire on Grace's neck and the gold bracelet on Raffi's wrist are so exquisite in her opinion.
Xiaxi happily played with the bracelet in her hand. Locke felt whether she had been treated badly at ordinary times. Locke remembered the bracelets and Earrings he got from the two dealers that day. He had planned to give them to his sister in the future. Xia Xi likes it. Give it to her first.
Now that Xiaxi had bracelets, Locke took out the pair of earrings from his arms and handed them to Xiaxi.
"Do you like it?" Locke put the earrings in Shaxi's hand.
If the silver bracelet is the aristocrat in jewelry, then this earring is the royal family in jewelry. Elegant radians and exquisite diamonds constitute this pair of top-grade earrings.
"Like it!" Xia Xi kissed Locke excitedly and didn't care about the eyes of the people around her. She felt more and more that it was a right choice to choose her younger brother.
