It's almost a week since the absurd night of Locke and grace. A lot of things happened during the period.
First, a group of position mercenaries hired by the Baron in Peters have arrived at the United Army camp and officially settled in Locke's camp. The nationalities of these professional mercenaries are varied, some of them are native to foster Stan, some are from the Southern League of Lycia, the Karaman Kingdom, and even the omor empire.
The leader is a middle-aged man with a big beard and a thick brown beard, which shows the rich experience of the mercenary leaders. This is also a strong man at the low knight and attendant level. Locke's intuition was very sharp. He felt that he should not be the opponent of the beard.
But Locke, the vice captain of the forstein cavalry Squadron, was much higher than the beard. These mercenaries are mercenaries at best. At worst, they are the lives bought by the Baron with money. Whenever the Baron gives way, they must, although they may die.
But then again, these mercenaries with their heads pinned to their belts are also fearless. For them, they may only have a small wound on their body, although the wound is on their heart.
Another thing is that the new soldiers recruited by the Baron in the territory were in place a few days ago. A squadron of 72 young soldiers, mostly between the ages of 15 and 17, younger than Locke.
It is worth noting that one of the boys is Hans's brother. Hans's family has three brothers. Hans ranks second. There is a newly married brother above and a brother three years younger than Hans below. It was his brother who was called up by the Baron this time.
In fact, when a male member of Hans's family has joined the army, the Baron will not force them to send another member to join the army, but leader kaiduoqi really has no surplus young adults now. Just looking at the age of these recruits, we can know that these soldiers are not easy to come up with by the territory.
Of course, in addition to the Baron's order and generous pension, Hans's brother applied for the job. There was also the news that Hans, who was led by kaiduoqi, was the acting squadron captain a month ago.
There is a elder brother who holds the position of squadron leader. Of course, it is better to mix than to roll in the fields and be a farmer. This is Hans's brother's idea. Although a month ago, there were rumors of nearly half of the deaths and injuries in kaiduoqi camp, so many families were broken.
From this point of view, Hans's brother also has some ambition and dares to join the army when the army injury rate is so high.
"Brother Locke!" Hans's brother always smiles and looks sunny when he meets Locke in the barracks. His name is hank.
"Sister Leah and aunt TIA are very relieved to hear that you are all right!" Hank said with a smile.
Not long after Locke learned about it, the news of his "death in battle" during his time in the Bering mountains was not sent back to kaiduoqi collar, but was intercepted by Hans and Kane. They even sent their military pay back to Locke's family to show that Locke was still alive.
Nearly half of the kaiduoqi camp was killed and injured a month ago. It may not be a big deal in such an eagle legion, but it caused an uproar in kaiduoqi. The whole kaiduoqi receives a piece of chimera, and each family is related or one relative dies.
Locke lamented that thanks to the help of Hans and Kane brothers, otherwise he couldn't believe what a blow would be if his parents and sister knew the news of his death in the war. Unlike Hans, Locke is the only one in the family.
"Well, you should do well!" Locke patted hank on the shoulder. The young man was three years younger than Locke, but he was not much different. He was just too thin, just like a hemp pole. I can't imagine that he is the brother of Hans, who is as strong as a cow.
"Yes!" Hank grinned.
Unlike Hans is a stuffy bottle, Hank is a self familiar character, which is very similar to Kane. Coupled with the difference in their physique, the veterans in the camp joked that hank was more like Kane's brother.
Kane also takes good care of the brother's brother. Because of Hank's physique, Kane plans to train him into a scout like himself. Kane, who grew up alone, taught hank the means to press the bottom of the box this time. Nearly a week has passed, and Kane has been bearish about not being promoted to first class.
Locke, of the three of them, Kane is the one who jumps the most, but Kane is the one who is most open-minded and doesn't care about the future. Cain, an orphan and beggar, is easily satisfied with the future.
"Just live comfortably alone!" That's what Kane said.
That morning, Locke finished his routine training. First, he went around the cavalry camp. After all, he is the vice captain of the cavalry squadron. Locke needs to get familiar with his men.
After that, Locke went straight to Hans and uncle joshak. They always went to the Baron's camp for lunch together.
When looking for Hans, it happened that Kane was training hank. Hans and others were holding their arms and looking at the two people in the camp. Kane is teaching hank the essentials of crawling forward. As a scout, this is the most basic and important skill.
When hank ate one mouthful of loess with a bitter face off the court, several people couldn't help laughing. There is not much fun in the military camp now. Watching others eat is also a good way to pass the time.
When Josh and Carl saw Locke coming, they said with a smile, "coming!"
Now Locke's position, because of the particularity of the cavalry Squadron, is one level older than the ordinary Squadron, and the strength of Locke's low-level attendants is there. Other squadron leaders should be respectful when they see Locke, but Josh and Carl don't. They are Locke's elders, and Locke never puts on airs with them.
Nodding, Locke also kindly replied, "yes, uncle." Locke's respect for uncle Joshua and Uncle Carl comes from the bottom of his heart.
When the time was about the same, Locke and others greeted Kane and hank, who were still training off the court, and walked to the Baron's camp together. Hank, who was trained by Kane to be immortal and dying, raised his head at this time, looked at the distant Locke and Hans with envy in his eyes, and said, "when can I be like my brother, it's good to have style!"
"As long as you have the ability, you can reach that height." Kane replied angrily. As an "Apprentice", his physical quality is OK and his mind is flexible. He is lazy and always wants to be lazy. Kane needs to keep an eye on him.
"Continue training. If you don't climb three times, you're not allowed to have lunch!" Kane said to Hank mercilessly that although he didn't care whether he was promoted to the squadron captain, there were still some regrets. Hank accidentally exposed Kane's scar, so I'm sorry. Kane had to let you practice twice?
"Ah?!" Hank, who was practicing crawling on the ground, directly sent out a scream, which made other soldiers in the distance hear and tremble.
No matter still on the training ground, Hank, Locke, Hans and uncle yoshake have arrived at the Baron's camp.
The four people sat together with a very tacit understanding. Of course, the first seat is Baron kaiduoqi. The position on the right side belongs to Knight will and the position on the left belongs to master Sauron, although this position has been empty recently. The next position is that of lieutenant Monte and Locke, and then the other squadrons.
Locke sat next to the knight of will, and it was normal to sit here because his position was the knight of will's deputy. Next to Locke are Uncle Josh, Uncle Carl and Hans.
Not long after, several people came in from the camp. First, squadron captain Monte smiled and walked into the camp, then his deputy captain, and then the captain of the third squadron of Hans's squadron. This guy sat down close to Hans. It seemed that Hans was the center captain, but he was Hans's deputy.
Finally, close to the time, came the bearded mercenary squadron and a white, sinister young man. They are the leaders of the mercenary squadron. Maybe they are mercenaries from a mixture of dragons and snakes. These guys are relatively loose and come the latest.
But also because they are mercenaries, credit is very important. Although he came late, he was never late. He stuck to the time point and no one could tell others.
As soon as bearded and the evil young man entered the camp, Baron kaiduoqi and Knight will came in together. Baron kaiduoqi should have discussed things with Knight will. He went to the door of the camp and was still talking.
There is still more than a week before the arrival of the new year. With full calculations, Locke will have joined the army for five years. Looking back on his experience in the past five years is an unforgettable memory of Locke's life.
Recently, the Baron announced few orders, most of which were training soldiers. The actual number of more than 70000 soldiers in the United Army camp, together with the new recruits continuously replenished from the kingdom of faustan, has almost reached 80000. Every day in this large military camp full of Qi and blood, there is a cry and harmony of soldiers' training.
Locke once took time to go to the other side of the joint barracks and secretly took a look at the city of Otis surrounded by them. The simple and majestic city towers, the tall and dangerous walls, and the countless City guarding equipment erected on the walls shocked Locke.
This is the first time Locke met a large city with a permanent population of more than 100000. As a King City, Otis left Locke with a magnificent first impression. Soon, will they attack such a city? Locke looked at the heavily pruned city wall and the city of Otis with swords and crossbows. There was a faint excitement in Locke's heart,
Snow covered the combined barracks of Otis city and forstein. It was a world of silver and plain. But Locke knew that this was the calm before the storm.
