After entering the door, Uncle Yoshak casually took off his casual clothes and placed them on the clothes hanger. Then he sat on the sofa on one side. Locke did as he did, put the casual clothes and sat on the other side. The two men wearing military leather shirts were not in a hurry to speak. Locke first opened the wine bottle, first filled the wine glass for Uncle Yoshak, and then filled himself with a glass. After a "touch" sound of the wine, the two of them had a drink first, and then began to talk about the serious matters.

"Yes, I'm getting more and more calm. It seems that you have grown a lot over the years." Uncle Yoshak said first. It's incredible. To outsiders, the generous and scheming and extremely rough Yoshak actually taught someone to be calm. It seems that this bearded man is not as simple as he looks on his face.

"Uncle Yoshik, you are joking. What's this thing I'm learning from you." Locke said shyly.

"Haha, don't bother you boy! I'm not teaching you this? Am I that kind of person?" Uncle Yoshak cursed. After that, the two laughed in unison again.

"Uncle, is there any hope for my promotion this time?" Locke gave the two more cups, and finally couldn't help but start first and then ask.

"Locke, I have been leading you since you became a soldier. Now I have been taking you for four years. I treat you as my own son. I will definitely help you with your promotion this time." Uncle Yoshak assured Locke that he really likes this smart and powerful young man.

"Uncle, I believe in you!" Locke did believe in Uncle Yoshak, and he also regarded Yoshak as an elder. "But, it shouldn't be enough except for your help. I need to handle something, and you can talk to me." Locke asked.

"It's not enough to have my support, but I'll call Old Carl to support you. You need to handle the rest yourself." Old Carl is the deputy squadron leader of their squadron. I heard that he had a lifelong friendship with Uncle Yoshak. Outsiders seem to be a serious and serious old soldier who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, but he is very good at his own soldiers. Locke has a good impression of him.

"Well, you have something else to say to Uncle Yoshak, I'll listen." Uncle Yoshak obviously has something to say.

"Those two seats are vacant in this election. Those who are qualified to propose are six chief and deputy squadrons of our four teams, captain of the cavalry, and our captain Baron Kaidozi, and one is his eldest son, now the deputy captain of the cavalry, Master Zoro." Their battalion is a brigade, with four squadrons of infantry and one squadron of cavalry. Locke has seen many battles between the cavalry in their battalion. To be honest, Locke feels that this cavalry team is a team of cavalry. To be honest, Locke feels that this team of cavalry is.

In the open terrain, there are three times the number of infantry that challenge them. With strong armor, straight knight spear and the impact of war horses, most infantry are not enemies of cavalry. "In this election, Baron Kaidozi will not participate, nor will the captain of the cavalry team. The only people who proposed should be the six of us and Mr. Zoro. I have already pulled two votes for you. You have to draw at least two more votes for the rest." Uncle Yoshak said to Locke.

"I only have some friendship with their deputy squadron leader in the first squadron. I have no friendship with the deputy squadron leader of the third squadron leader and the fourth squadron leader. And they are said to be still recovering from injuries?" Locke answered honestly and asked.

"Hmph, the tough battle has been over. Now it's time to search for fuel. Those two guys can't help but have only been in two weeks of injury. They have already taken the remaining cubs of their team and the newly recruited eggs who have just been replenished." Uncle Yoshak said disdainfully.

"Handling" is a term in the army, which means to capture villages that are still under the rule of the Kingdom of Sharlot. It is better to say that it is a sweeping rather than a village. The resistance forces of the village are not as good as a climate. There are no regular soldiers. Most of them are only militia and reckless village men. There are one or two hundred people in the big village, and only a few dozen people in the small village, and one squadron can handle it. In fact, under the leadership of Uncle Yoshak, their squadron will go to "Handling" whenever they have time in the past two months.

The main task of their battalion was to capture towns with some resistance, and only merchants, rich peasants, and even nobles could exist in cities above the size of the town. Baron Kaidozi and his cavalry were not very interested in villages without much fuel, and only four infantry squadrons would make extra money. However, the Baron's caravan would purchase materials seized by the soldiers: silver bracelets passed down from the countrymen, fur collected by hunters in the village, and even horses, cows, donkeys and other animals. There were also some good clothes and shoes that the soldiers would "sweep" and keep them for themselves.

The soldiers have their own bottom line, at least they don’t rob food, and the top leaders of the military camp also strictly prohibited it. However, if they catch two chickens and ducks to improve their food, this is often done. Locke is also a rural person. He was originally shameful for doing these things that bully the common people, but after experiencing the war and death, he didn’t know what attitude he had towards these Charlottes. There was hatred and guilt for the displaced ordinary civilians who were beaten by them. However, this did not prevent Locke from getting rich. He also needed to survive and make his family and brothers live better. Locke’s pockets were very bulging some time ago, and he often sent money to his family and asked his subordinates to drink. This was the wealth he made at that time.

"Uncle, we haven't been 'wandering' for almost a week. Are we about to start?" Back to the topic, Locke asked.

"Well, it has been decided that the Baron will work with the Kashgar Baron of the 7th Battalion of our Corps to attack the Frans City here, which is why two squadron leaders were elected in the near future. Moreover, there are no villages nearby." Generally, there are city walls and moats, and it is difficult to win with one brigade of more than 500 people, so senior leaders often choose to cooperate with friendly forces, and they invade the Kingdom of Sharlot.

It has been two months since the hinterland, and three city-level battles have been fought, all of which have cooperated with other brigades. Locke also has experience in siege battles. Although the casualties in the siege battles are not low, the generous rewards after the city breaks, and the army acquiesces the soldiers to make their own fortune on the day of the city breaking, which makes everyone's desire for siege battles is greater than their fear of death. In fact, the wealth made on the day of the city breaking is the focus of the soldiers. The Kashgar Baron's troops have cooperated with their battalion twice.

The two of them were drinking and talking, and in a while, a bottle of ale was bottomed out. Locke opened the second bottle and filled Uncle Yoshak with himself. Uncle Yoshak raised his glass and took a sip and said, "The deputy squadron leader of the First Squadron is also from our Mining Town. I also have some friendship with him. If you give him some gifts, I will talk about it and try to win this ticket. As for the remaining three people, I am not familiar with them, and I don't even deal with them. This requires you to work hard for yourself." In the military camp, there are still many dirty things among the big-headed soldiers, let alone the squadron leader. Even Locke, who has a good reputation, cannot guarantee that he has a good relationship with half of the squadron leader in the camp. Knowing people and not being aware of their hearts is the truth.

"I suggest you think of a solution from Master Zoro." Uncle Yoshak said that as if he remembered something again, he added. "You and Master Zoro are both 18 and 9 years old and have a common language. If you ask him to express your loyalty or give some gifts, you may succeed. But in that case, you will be the eldest master's person in the future." Baron Kaidozi has more than one son. Although the eldest son inheritance system is prevalent in the Kingdom of Foster, the other sons of the Baron are not without the opportunity to inherit the title. As far as he knows, the person who temporarily helps the Baron manage the territory in China is his second son.

"A nobleman, what gift can I give me to like?" Locke said helplessly, "Well, I'll think of a solution."

"I knew you boy had a way. All I could do was this. The rest was up to you." Uncle Yoshak patted Locke's shoulder and said.
