Chapter 40 The Marquis of Mammon

Baron Kaidozi was like a wise man, riding quietly on the war horse, commanding the troops to advance. Locke in the distance looked at the Baron's steady battle horse, and was very envious. When would he be like the Baron? His blues were really hard to serve. Not only did he run slowly, but he also looked at his face. If Locke had not been strong and had a lot of murderous aura, he would not be able to suppress this stupid horse.

It is noon now, but the Baron did not give a rest order, and it would not even be issued all day today, because there was only one day left to reach Bimore City. Locke received the news that Baron Kaidozi and the Baron Kashgar were preparing to travel for one day, and before the night arrived, he arrived at Bimore City.

The troops continued to move forward, and it was indeed the case for ordinary soldiers. Even the squad leader had to be energetic and stare at their subordinates, otherwise any unlucky person would disappear because of falling out of the team. The number of missing soldiers in recent years accounted for half of the deaths, and no one could take it lightly. Of course, this only refers to the following squad leader. Locke was riding comfortably on horseback and chatting with Jerson. The order that the Baron only gave the squadron leader was extremely friendly. Locke never thought that the boring march would be so easy to ride on horseback, or he would chat nonsense with other squadron leaders, or borrow a bow to point fingers at some birds flying in the sky, and improve the level of midnight snacks, or ride a horse to chase Yun'er, which is called "practice of equestrianism". Locke has been very comfortable.

Look, Locke rode his horse from the rear of the army to the front. He just went to inspect whether their squadron had a problem of falling out of the team, but the result was that there was a shallow kiss mark on his face. Yes, right, their squadrons are all young men with energy and physical strength. The problem of falling out of the team must not exist. If so, it was also a problem for Jerson. Who said he was the chief squadron leader? Locke was just a deputy, just take care of his own troops, and leave the others to Jerson.

Locke and Jerson had a good relationship. Jerson just joked about Locke's inaction when eating, "You are the big brother, and you have to take care of me as a junior." Locke said to Jerson.

"Locke!" Uncle Yoshak rode his war horse to the center of the team and shouted at Locke.

"Yeah, here you come!" Locke responded quickly.

"What's the matter?" Locke rode Bru to Uncle Yoshak and asked.

"You kid, hide those women well and don't let ordinary soldiers know!" Uncle Yoshak frowned and scolded, "You can restrain yourself in the past few days and you will arrive in Walil City soon. There is probably another bad battle. You can perform well in front of the Baron!"

"I understand, uncle." Locke hurriedly replied.

After Uncle Yoshak said that, he rode his war horse back to his squadron. Locke hurried to find Jerson. He has indeed become much more presumptuous these days, but this is also related to Uncle Yoshak and others being familiar with him.

When Locke was just promoted to squadron leader, he was busy marching to attack Frans City. Later, he planned to wander villages and go to Walier City to trade black markets. Locke rarely contacts what he currently can contact. Fortunately, Uncle Yosak helped him understand, Locke learned a lot of news. For example, why the Baron has such good riding skills is because the Baron studied in the Omore Empire when he was young. In Locke's eyes, the Omore Empire was just a legend...

"Hurry! Don't fall down!" In the army, the squad leader was filled with harmony. Locke was once one of them. Now from the perspective of the squadron leader, Locke discovered that the squad leader was the core of this team. The 10-person team led by each squadron leader is a small group, and each small group is inseparable and forms their powerful squad. Compared with the Baron of Kashgar, Locke discovered that the reason why the strength of their troops was stronger than that of the Baron of Kashgar was because the team leader had better cohesion in their team. Why? Locke, who was once a member of the squad leader, didn't know.

Just like a fool, under the leadership of the wise man, Baron Kaidozi, he burst out with a stronger power than ordinary people. Locke never denies that he is a fool. He knows that he has not read many books and has limited cognition, but he also knows that he can do better by relying on wise man, such as Baron Kaidozi, or Master Zoro, or Uncle Yoshak. He did this, so he is the squadron leader, Locke often feels complacent because he feels he is more intelligent than most of the ordinary civilians in their camp, and he feels he is a little smarter among the fools.

Locke was slightly expectant about Bimoor City. Although there would be a bad battle before this, it didn't matter. After four years of experience, is this battle still missing? Locke could not guarantee that he could survive the war, but he felt that he would not die in Bimoor City. This small place, indeed, the Earl's Corps is already a small place in the eyes of Locke, who has four years of military service, because Uncle Yoshak and others said that the Earl's Corps had at most two or three thousand people, and they were a whole army, with five thousand people above, let alone a group of war-torn elites. They took the Earl's Corps with their hands.

As for Locke's expectations, it was because Uncle Yoshak agreed to take him to the Corps Logistics Department when the Corps gathered. He could not find some potions that were useful to him, and the potions were linked to the mysterious magic in Locke's eyes. When he asked about the relationship between Uncle Yoshak, Uncle Yoshak also said it was ambiguous, as if he was not very clear, but it is certain that there must be any connection between the two.

Locke's fighting spirit has been silent for a long time. Although it has only been a month since he started practicing, he has not had the obvious improvement at the beginning. Moreover, the slow improvement in strength makes Locke feel insecure. To be honest, although the veterans who have lived on the battlefield for more than three years have more than a little stronger survival ability than the new recruits, their sense of security is not as safe as the new recruits. This means that the longer they live, the less courage they are.

The Red Sea Flower Locke has either attacked from the side or asked politely to Mr. Zoro for begging Master Zoro in the past two days, but Mr. Zoro refused because he would not improve even if he took it. At first, Rocke was a little dissatisfied, but after many times, Rocke learned that perhaps what Mr. Zoro said was true. After all, Rocke felt that Mr. Zoro was not a stingy person.

"The Red Sea Flower is the most precious medicine for knight attendants to get started. Only nobles with deep foundations will have it." One day, when Locke was worried about improving his strength without the Red Sea Flower, Grace suddenly spoke. Locke was more convinced that this woman was not simple, and she was more determined. She could not let this woman go and marry a woman who was most likely aristocrat as her wife. She was excited to think about it. Locke grinned and thought so in her heart.

The relationship between the little maid Rafi and Locke became more and more harmonious. Locke was surprised that Rafi had also taken the Red Sea Flower. According to Rafi, their maid gave them a guard-type maid. Even because she protected the lady, she took it twice. Perhaps twice was the limit of the Red Sea Flower, Locke speculated.

"I arrived outside Bimoor City in the evening, hoping to meet those old brothers." Uncle Yoshak said to Locke. As the old squadron leader, Uncle Yoshak knew not only the troops of the Baron Kashgar, but also in the entire Second Corps, Uncle Yoshak was very happy, of course, only in the middle and lower levels. As for the other corps, Uncle Yoshak also had acquaintances. Even the independent cavalry corps, Uncle Yoshak guarded Baron Kadozi and reported to the Corps headquarters, he also had acquaintances with several guys.

"Uncle, do you want to recommend a few seniors to me." Locke smiled.

"You boy, no problem." Uncle Yoshak replied boldly. He was able to eat everywhere, especially the army.

In the Ars Valley in front of Bimoor, the temporary headquarters of the Eagle Legion is located here. A series of dark green tents rose up one after another in this grassy valley. In the center of the valley, a brown eagle spread its wings and flags fluttered in the wind. In the tent below, there are loud calls from the tents below.

"The Third Battalion of the Second Corps is in place!"

"The Seventh Battalion of the Second Corps is in place!"

"The Fifth Battalion of the Third Corps is in place!"...

"Report! The second corps has reached half of the position!" A messenger wearing a black Foster uniform said to a hunchbacked old man standing in the center of the tent at this time. If Locke was here, he would definitely envy the messenger's neat military uniform and sword, and ignore the old man. Because if he really wanted to compare the military uniforms of Fostere, the messenger's real military uniform, while Locke's was a ball of rags. Except for his eyes that were brighter and sharper than ordinary people, the rest were no different from ordinary people.

"Where is the Third Corps?" the old man asked calmly, but there was an unquestionable smell.

"Uh..." The messenger paused and replied, "At present, only the first and third teams are in place."

"Hmph! These nobles who are waiting to die! They stuff all the mess into my Eagle Legion. Do you really think this is a garbage dump?" The old man waved his hands suddenly, and a strong wind blew. With this hand alone, the old man at least had the strength of a high-level knight attendant, with his fighting spirit outward, and the signature ability of a high-level knight attendant.
