"Hey, Old Locke, why are you going home so anxious?" A loud voice came from a distance, and a small manager in the caravan was talking to him, "Come on, come on, have a drink with me today!" The manager rode his horse and walked over happily.

Old Locke knew him, his name was Bruce. This was a small manager who was mixed with the caravan. Unlike the baron who managed the caravan, who participated in the caravan with other big families, there were many such small managers in the caravan, and they did some tricks of Huhe Xiaolou. He called him a manager to curry favor with him. This kind of small manager has no real power, but if you do some small business of reselling, the managers in the caravan will not take much care of them. Because, since you can be a small manager in the caravan, everyone has one or two backstages, or the captain's cousin, or the nephew of the merchant, the managers can manage their own one acre and three-part land, and rarely deal with anything else.

Of course, Bruce's backstage is not a small role. His uncle is the fat manager who helped Rocket put Xia Xixi into the military camp and promised to help Rocket build a shield. Of course, the real manager of caravans like Henry Henry will not follow the caravans back home, and will go back to Kaidozi. At present, as the time to harvest the fruits of victory in the war, time is money. After Henry led the caravan to vent the goods from Peters, he immediately followed most of the caravans back to the front line. Although the front line is still chaotic and there are still wars in many places, gold is everywhere.

As for the small manager like Bruce, he was sent back to his hometown by Henry. Although he could stay away from the war and even go home to reunite with his relatives, the merchants in this army, like soldiers, were all just to make money on their belts, and they had long put their lives aside. Deler was their life-long goal. If they could continue to stay on the front line and make a fortune, the genius would be willing to come back. But after all, they were the real manager. He was just a working younger brother, and he could only listen to this uncle and return home obediently.

Although Bruce is young and has a low position, he has good vision and can communicate with others. People in the caravan can speak in all kinds of people. Moreover, because he was sent back to his hometown by his uncle for many years, he is familiar with the relatives of the small and medium-sized team leaders in various villages and towns. Locke was promoted to the team leader last year, and he was the hometown of Locke who was notified by this guy.

Old Locke looked at the person who brought good news to their family last year. Old Locke smiled flatteringly and said, "It's Lord Bruce, I'm back early this time."

It was too early to have to be the remotest town in Kaidozi, and it was mountainous and rocky, with difficult roads. It was usually the last stop for the caravan to arrive. This time, the town of Mining ranked second in the caravan's itinerary, second only to Baron Kaidozi's castle. As for the reason, it was right in front of us.

In the past, Bruce could pretend to behave when facing the relatives of the team leader, because although the team leader was also a team leader, he was only stronger than ordinary soldiers. After a fierce battle, there would always be a team leader who died or disappeared, and he was not a little bit worse than his little manager in the transportation team. Although he was on par with the team leader, he also had the capital to be proud. But now it is not possible. The parents and sister of a squadron leader standing in front of him, and he must maintain enough respect. If any gossip is heard, it will come to the ears of that Lord Rock, and without saying anything else, his uncle alone will not be able to avoid him.

"Uncle Locke, you're joking. I can't be called an adult? I'll bring you good news this time!" Bruce smiled.

"Oh? What good news?" Old Rock, Tia and Lea looked at Bruce curiously. In their hearts, the best news is that little Rock's safety is safe.

Bruce raised his brow and said proudly, "Your son, Lord Rock, was promoted to squadron captain by the Baron last month!"

"Squadron Captain?!" It was not Lao Luoke and the other two who spoke, but the people of the mine town who heard the caravans arrive one after another. "Isn't that the same level as the mayor?" Someone said in surprise, with a sour smell of envy in his mouth.

"Of course." Bruce smiled.

Old Locke was shocked by what Bruce said, and stayed there for no reason. Tia was not much better. She was not concerned about how old Locke was, but was satisfied with knowing that her son was safe. In addition, Locke was promoted, she was both happy and relieved, and she felt that she had given birth to a good son. Leah was much calmer, but a different color appeared in her eyes, which made Bruce next to her unable to find Bei.

Finally, the mayor came forward, "Scatter a little, let the caravan enter the town." People who came out one after another in the town blocked this road that was not wide, and it was not a solution for the caravan to get stuck there. Although the town elder Billy drank a lot last night, he was also a person who had been a long-standing restaurant. He woke up early today and happened to hear the caravan coming back. He hurriedly dressed and walked to the entrance of the town to greet him.

Old Billy just heard what Bruce said, the little boy of the old Rock family was promoted to the squadron leader by the Baron? I was afraid that it was because I didn't wake up, so Old Billy patted his fat face. After awakening, he realized this fact and accepted it happily. If he had heard this news more than ten or twenty years ago, he might have been jealous, or would have been unwilling to be a little guy who was a whole generation younger than him as his class. But Old Billy, who is already half a person, has seen through the world, and some are just as the pride of the same town.

He was not unlucky. As far as he knew, there were only four squadrons in the Baron's army, which corresponded to four towns under the Baron's rule. Each town had two squadron leaders, both for balance and for convenience of management. Now, Little Locke has been promoted to squadron leader. If the other two squadron leaders are fine, it means that three squadron leaders were born in one town. If this is said, his old Billy's face is much greater than that of the other three squadron leaders.

But to be safe, Old Billy quietly pulled Bruce while seeing the surrounding townsmen congratulating and greetings around Old Locke's family, "Little Bruce, tell me, nothing happened to Yoshak and Carl."

Bruce smiled and said to Old Billy, "Uncle Billy, Uncle Shake and Uncle Carl are in good health. They also want you to leave some wine for them. When the war is over, I will ask you to drink."

When Old Billy heard this, he felt relieved and said to Bruce with a smile, "Tell them, my old Billy saves a batch of wine for them every year. It's been four years. When they come back, I'll invite all the young men out of town to drink!"

Bruce smiled and said, "That's good. My uncle and I will make a drink." Bruce and his uncle Henry are not from Mining Town. They are the merchant family in Baron Castle, that is, the city people.

"No problem!" Old Billy waved his hand.

Mining Town ushered in darkness again. Although today's night is not as lively as yesterday, for some people, this night is even more wonderful.

For example, the old Locke family, Locke survived on the dangerous front, but the old Locke family was not afraid to expect hope. When he heard that Xiao Locke was promoted to the captain, Lao Locke was so happy that he didn't sleep all night. Tia even muttered her little Locke for a week, and Lea was extremely proud of her younger brother.

Now Locke has been promoted to squadron leader again. Isn’t this the first level with the mayor? The three generations of Locke’s family are all civilians. When did such a big man come out? Old Locke thought about it at this time, and hurried home and went to the back mountain to tell the good news to his father, his grandfather, and all the dead relatives.

Unfortunately, Lao Locke was disappointed. The small businessmen and rich people in the town entangled Lao Locke. Some were flattering, some were pleased, and even proposed marriages. Not only were there introduced their daughters to Luoke, but also a few young talents from their family brought over to Luoke and gave the Lao Locke and his wife a look. This was because they fell in love with Leah.

It’s ridiculous. There are no young talents in the town now. The capable young people have gone to war. Those who are left behind are either old, weak, sick or disabled, or wine bags. With one or two money from their parents, they escaped the Baron’s conscription order. Although Old Locke and Tia are just ordinary civilians, they don’t know anything. Although they once hoped to marry their daughter and son into a wealthy family, it’s different now. Little Locke is doing so well now that they won’t easily decide on their son and daughter’s marriage.

Not only Locke's family was busy, but the mayor was also busy. There were only a few powerful families in the town before. If you had to subdivided it, it was the mayor and the garrison captain, and the clerk was at the highest level; the sheriff and tax officials and other small officials were at the second level; the rich and merchants were at the third level; the civilians were at the fourth level. Now Locke has advanced to the squadron leader on the front line. In the future, the war will end and he will be at least a garrison leader when he comes back. He is even more likely to join the Baron's private army and serve as a higher position, so as to lead his relatives to move into the Baron's castle. Therefore, the mayor needs to make some preparations at this time, such as convening tax officials, sheriffs and other subordinates to discuss preferential policies for the Rocke's family, or collecting less taxes, or sending one or two idle people to help the Rocke's family farming. Although it is all trivial matters, these things are the most touching. It is not unreasonable to be re-elected for three generations in a family.

The lively town of Mining Town for two consecutive nights seemed to have found all the popularity that was lacking in recent years. Everyone in the town hoped that their husbands, sons, or brothers could not only live safely on the front line like Locke, but also be promoted by the Baron. Perhaps this is one of the few times in recent years, most of the residents of Mining Town have hoped for two nights.
