Chapter 129

In the morning, he got up and punched. Locke knocked on the door next door and told Hans and others to go.

"Locke, what can I do for you?" It was Aunt Mary who opened the door. Aunt Mary asked enthusiastically.

"I'm going to gather in town today. I'll call Hans and them." Locke touched his nose, but he had been afraid of this naughty aunt since he was a child.

"OK, I'll call them!" Aunt Mary opened the door and let Locke in. She turned to the inner room and asked Hans and others to go.

Hans' yard is obviously more than twice larger than Locke's, because Hans has four brothers. Hans is the second in the row. He also has a brother above him. He has a family and even children. Nearly ten people live in one yard. It's not big enough to hold so many people.

That is, there is a lot of labor at home, so we can build a big house so easily.

After a while, Hans, Kane and Hank came out of the house yawning. Sure enough, it can be seen from the malaise of these guys that they were probably just sleeping in.

"Let's go! Go to town!" Cried Locke.

The population of maple leaf village is only 200, while only 112 soldiers choose to join the army.

Fearing that the bandit regiment would invade the village when they left, Locke decided to let half of the soldiers stay today.

Six or seven heavily armed soldiers, plus other young adults in the village, a gang of thieves with a size of only a dozen people, will come back if they dare to come.

It was noon when Locke, Hans, Kane, Hank and two other soldiers arrived in mining town.

On the way, I happened to meet soldiers from another village. A group of soldiers walked to the town square talking and laughing.

Many soldiers gathered in the square at this time. Kane and Hank went into the soldier queue, while Locke and Hans looked for uncle yoshake standing at the edge of the square.

"Uncle Joshua! Where's Uncle Carl?" Locke shouted from a distance.

Joshak was talking to the former garrison captain in town. When Locke called him, he turned around and said with a smile, "he's here, too. Over there."

As he spoke, his hand pointed to the other side of the square, and one armed Carl was lecturing the town militia.

These militia are the main defense force of the mining town when Locke and other soldiers fought in sherlo. The soldiers left by the Baron can't care about every village and town. The townspeople need to be armed by themselves.

The quality of these militias is worrying. Almost the average age is over 35 and under 13, either old men or children.

While Locke was chatting with uncle joshak, the mayor, old Billy, arrived with a meal, accompanied by a donkey cart full of wheat cakes.

This is their lunch. Locke remembered that it was the same when he first joined the army and trained in the town. At that time, he most expected to have lunch because he could eat enough.

"Children! Come and have dinner first!" Old Billy, the mayor, shouted kindly to the people in the square now.

Everyone in the square didn't move. The soldiers couldn't move because of years of military discipline and the officer didn't speak.

The militia were frightened by Carl. The quality of these militia was really poor. Carl, who had always been a good temper in the army, was also annoyed.

He and yoshak, one white faced and the other red faced, have taken care of the militia these days.

Carl and joshak are different from Locke and others. They are both from the mining town. They live in the town these days and feel almost the same about the situation in the town.

"Do you have any tasks?" Locke asked Uncle joshak, biting the wheat cake in his hand.

"Yes." Joshak sighed, "I'm not comfortable when I come back..."

The soldiers around have begun to receive meals orderly, and several big cooks help distribute them.

Carl also stopped reprimanding the militia, which did not have the discipline and order of regular soldiers, and rushed to grab food.

Carl didn't stop. He guessed that the militia would run into a wall.

Sure enough, these soldiers who have been professional soldiers for several years and their hands are stained with the blood of sherlo people will easily let these miscellaneous brands rob their rations?

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Several of the fastest militia boys felt a complete over shoulder fall. Everyone bared their teeth and howled on the ground. It was obvious that they fell badly.

Of course, the soldiers also had a sense of propriety. They just hurt them and didn't cause any substantive damage.

When the militia saw this, later people lined up behind the team with eyes. Several older people laughed and talked and dealt with the soldiers.

Ignoring the noise of the soldiers, Locke, Josh, Carl and Hans came to a corner of the square. In addition to them, the mayor, old Billy, was also there.

"What is the task?" Locke asked. Although he guessed the general idea, uncle yoshake, as the leader of several people, put forward the best idea.

Joshak didn't speak. Billy, the town elder next to him, opened his mouth. "The Baron asked us to send troops to each town to solve the thieves and robbers around by ourselves."

Locke nodded to show that he understood that he despised these unscrupulous gangs of thieves. If he dared to stand up in front of him, Locke could kill a team alone.

This is no joke. Locke should be the most powerful man in the mining town at present. The physical quality and fighting spirit of low-level attendants are added. Unless exhausted, ordinary people don't want to get close to him.

The only ones who know Locke's real strength are several squadron captains such as yoshake. Most of the soldiers in the battalion don't know. They just think that the strength of several squadron captains is the same.

Old Billy, the mayor, was worried. He didn't know Locke's real strength. He was the mayor who was most annoyed by large and small gangs around the mining town these years.

Sometimes, they even have to make an agreement with these bandit groups to meet their certain requirements in order to protect the mining town and its subordinate villages from invasion.

This makes him, who has been mayor for decades, extremely oppressed these years.

"What are our goals?" Joshak is a straightforward man. He just needs to have a mission goal.

Old Billy didn't answer directly, but said, "there are three largest gangs of thieves around, red maple thieves, Boulder brothers and gilt mountain thieves."

"Then take these three first!" Uncle yoshake decided to make a case.

"Which to start with first? Do you need my advice?" Old Billy kindly introduced:

"The red maple robber is a gang of thieves who fled from the East. There are more than 30 people and several horses."

"The leader of the boulder brothers is two twin brothers who don't know where to come from. They are both powerful and have gathered a large group of gangsters under them."

"Gilt mountain bandits," said old Billiton after a pause, "most of them are made up of local ruffians and scoundrels who don't want to be soldiers in our mining town. You don't have to be considerate. Mining town has long denied these people."

Not only old Billy, but almost all the people in mining towns are ashamed of gilt mountain thieves.

"There are four squadron leaders in our mining town, which must be faster than other towns." Old Billy smiled and said it was also the capital he boasted like his fellow mayors in other towns.

There were only four infantry squadrons under the baron. There were four squadrons in their mining town, and there was also a squadron leader of the cavalry squadron. It was said that his old Billy had more face than other town mayors.

"Don't bother!" Joshak interrupted with a wave of his hand. "Pick one for each." Turned to Locke and others.

"Red maple bandit regiment, let me lead the cavalry." Locke took the lead in saying that since the thieves had horses, it was just right for Locke to take the road cavalry in order to prevent any fish from escaping.

"The boulder brothers have given it to me." Hans bared his teeth and smiled. He wanted to see if the giant stone brother could bear his punch.

"I'll take care of gilt mountain bandits." Uncle yoshake laughed.

"It seems that I can only watch the house." Carl laughed at himself and said that his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced because he lost an arm. The best action to eliminate thieves this time is for Lieutenant Carl to stay in the mining town. Even if he lost an arm, ordinary mountain thieves don't want to hurt Carl.

"That's it!" Yoshake decided to start summoning soldiers. The army had the guts to do it quickly. He planned to send the soldiers out to suppress the thieves in the afternoon.

"Is Carl really enough?" Old Billy hesitated a little. He was the one who knew the most about the serious thieves near the mining town. He felt too hasty about the decision of yoshake and others.

"Don't worry, I promise!" Joshak gave him a reassurance.

There are only a dozen cavalry in kuangshen Town, but even these ten people, Locke is confident that under his leadership, he will wipe out the red maple robber.

Winter nights always come very soon. After Locke and others made a decision, they quickly led their teams to set out. A group of more than ten cavalry roared through the mountains in the evening.

Every knight was bathed in blood, as if he had just returned from hell.

If you look closely, you will find that there are cloth bags tied to the tail of the war horse. The cloth bags are spherical and convex. If you are familiar with people, you can see at a glance that they are all heads!

The shuttle of the bloody cavalry startled countless birds in the mountains and forests.

The leader is a knight in bright yellow armor. Under the armor helmet, only a pair of indifferent eyes are exposed.

This man is Locke. He just led the team to kill the red maple thief. Almost every soldier just killed at least one red maple thief.

It's funny that the headquarters of these red maple thieves are located in the main road between mining town and the outside world, in the maple leaf forest outside the town, and even close to Locke's maple leaf village. They are really not afraid of death.

Locke, if these guys were so close to him two days ago, I'm not sure. I'll ask Hans and others to go directly to them for trouble. Two strong men with fighting spirit will bully a group of ordinary people without fighting spirit. Don't be too simple.

On this trip, Locke's cavalry were also killed. They had never seen such a weak opponent. They were still cavalry.

With strong armor, Knight's spear, battle array and rich experience in fighting the enemy, kaiduoqi's cavalry is a one-sided massacre against this group of thieves who can only play prestige in front of civilians.

Because of the urgency of time, this trip only killed 32 of the red maple thieves. The horses and treasures belonging to the red maple thieves still stay in place and are ready to deal with them tomorrow.

In Locke's eyes, getting along with his relatives is far more important than anything else.
