Heimarian Odyssey

Locke is a second-class soldier in the Kingdom of Faustine. He started his military service at the age of 2 and is a four-year veteran. Today he is in a good mood, because it is the day to pay for the army, the Kingdom 14 soldiers get 4 silver thaler’s salary a month, plus Baron Cardoj’s privately provided 2 silver thaler for his soldiers, he can get 3 silver. Thaler, why is one missing? Because the state pays for the military, the military always has to be greedy. This is a common practice.

Locke already impatient wants to receive these 4 silver thalers, and then asks Lord Baron’s caravan to send 3 of them back to his hometown. He hopes that his elder sister can buy a ribbon he likes, and no longer have her hair wrapped in it. Rough linen, I hope my parents can eat one or two meals of white bread in the next month. Their health is already very poor. With the remaining silver thaler, Locke still stayed to invite his brothers to drink. As a small and powerful second-class soldier, he is a Captain of a 2-man team.

He knows that his brothers are not having a good time. The third-class soldiers only get 3 silver thalers each month, and the servant soldiers only have one. They need to break their money into copper thalers to spend, and they need subsidies. At home, you have to spend it yourself, which is not enough. In order to make the battle more united, and to have so few who are loyal to him and can stand against him at a critical moment, Locke never cares about treats.

His ten-man squad has 5 third-class soldiers and 3 servants. Except for 5 of these guys, who were added to their squad two months ago, the rest are brothers who have been fighting together for at least half a year. Most of them are as old as Locke, but they are younger than Locke. They are all recruits who have only joined the army for one or two years. Most of them admire their Small Captain Locke from the bottom of their hearts, because their Locke big brother is generous. I have a sense of loyalty. I always take the brothers to have a drink after receiving the sound. The most important thing is that they have been taken care of by Locke more or less in the battle. A small care makes them a team. Members seldom lose their staff after the initial battle. With battle after battle, the members of their squad become more and more fit, and the survival rate of the squad is getting higher and higher.

This is also relatively famous in the entire military camp. Whether it is a recruit or a veteran, as long as he is younger than Locke or similar to him, he will be called, Locke big brother. This is a respect for the powerhouse. Moreover, it is said that Locke killed many barbarians in the Shalor kingdom in the battle two months ago, and the merits are about to accumulate to the first class.

Locke went to the munitions camp, which not only issued military pay, but also served as a trading floor in the military camp, where you can buy everything you want. A fragrant ale? Sharp iron essence long sword? A horse with good endurance? Or a beautiful woman. There is everything here, and Baron Cardoj takes care of the needs of his soldiers. But the premise is that you have money. . . Or, you have the right. As a second-class soldier, Locke may have just reached the standard here, but he rarely splurges here. It’s not just him. In the barracks, soldiers who basically have families and have family burdens will not come here to consume, not because the soldiers are strong in self-control, but because the silver thaler in their pockets can’t hold back money.

“Hey, Locke! Your salary!” With a rough roar, a tall and strong man with a beard threw Locke a bag of money. Locke opened it and saw that there were 3 silver light glittering silver thalers and 100 silver thalers inside. Copper Thaler.

“Uncle Yoshk, go for a drink in the afternoon?” Locke said to the beard man with a smile.

“How many times have I told you, call me Captain in the barracks! You kid! You want to send me a cup? At least 2 cups!” Uncle Yoshk smiled and cursed at Locke.

Locke asked Uncle Yoshk to drink wine not only for politeness, but also for the promotion of his rank. His combat exploits are about to reach the first-class soldier. The first-class soldier is a dividing line for all soldiers. Those who reach the first-class soldier, Baron will The cultivation technique bestowed on the cultivation Battle Qi, this is the way to advance to the Knight rank, and the first-class soldiers can at least be a Vice Captain. Old-class first-class soldiers like Xia York Uncle are directly appointed as the middle Captain.

Uncle Yoshk agreed to Locke’s request not only to take care of his face, he thinks it is a youngster with potential, and Uncle Yoshk and Locke are from the same town, Mine Town. In fact, most of the people in their brigade came from one place, led by Cardoj. It can be said that Locke has been in the army for the past 4 years, Uncle Yoshk has given him a lot of help, from the time he started as a servant until he became the second-class soldier. Uncle Yoshk can also be said to have watched Locke grow up over the years. He is also willing to help this young man. This time he is drinking, he is going to mention Locke and guide him to advance to the first class.

“No problem, when the time comes, I’ll call you!” Locke collected the purse and left. The exquisite armor around, the sharp long sword, and the women who scratched her head and sold her face made him almost get red eyes. An ordinary armor requires at least 100 silver thaler, which is a gold thaler, a good long sword requires at least 10 silver thaler, and spend the night with a good looking woman, without a silver thaler, you are sorry Open people’s doors. Locke doesn’t have much spare money. His equipment so far is a pair of damaged leather armor, an iron sword with a gap but still sharp, an iron gun, and a short dagger hidden in his boots.

Locke went back to the tent of his team and watched in small groups sitting around playing cards and bossing. He was also infected by this relaxed atmosphere. Locke kicked Kane, who was yelling while playing cards. This guy is the scout of the squad, a 3rd class soldier, a calm ambush scout on the battlefield, and a carefree voice in life. He, Locke, and the team’s shieldman Hans have the best relationship. They have been comrades in arms for more than 3 years. “Take you to have a drink with you in the afternoon, and now I will bring you lunch! Don’t mess around here!” Locke said to the team.

“Hey, Boss, can you stop kicking my ass? The kick is swollen. What if someone finds out when I go to reconnaissance” Kane winked at Locke, which made everyone in the tent amused.

“Don’t be afraid of swelling, I’ll go to Brother Rich to borrow a mint slice for you to apply, 2nd day!” The long spear soldier Yad teased on the side, this guy is also a 3rd class soldier. Rich brother is a well-known pair of gay guys in the camp. They interrogate tough enemy prisoners and often ask them to go out. As for peppermint tablets, they are always there to reduce swelling after certain activities. We need to fight on 2nd day.

“Go away, is it itchy for Little Yade, dare to molest your uncle Kane, be careful of my unrelenting face on the training ground” Of course, Kane’s tone is more joking than blame.

The daily fun of this group of big-head soldiers is playing cards, bossing, and teasing each other. Everyone has a good mouth. Locke likes to see this phenomenon, because it invisibly improves the cohesion of their team. “Don’t talk big, go get the meal, and bring my share by the way.” Locke smiled and cursed at his men. “Kane, don’t steal my meat, or you won’t have your share for the afternoon drink!”

“Don’t, boss, there is absolutely no one who steals it, I will cut him off who steals it! Hans, let’s go!” Kane promised solemnly vowed before leaving.

In the barracks, in order to inspire the soldiers to fight bravely and strive for honor and merit, a lot of hierarchies have been set up, which can be shown in terms of food. Servants, every meal eats Lili cake, potato soup; 3rd class soldier, brown bread, potato soup; 2nd class soldier, wheat cake, piece of meat, potato soup; as for first class soldier, every meal is in the middle of the barracks. Teng Nei had dinner with Lord Baron and Great Captain and the others. It is said that they ate white bread and broth. However, this kind of treatment is not something ordinary people can have. There are more than 500 people in the battalion, and only less than 15 people can eat in it, including: Captain of the 4 infantrymen and their 4 deputies, Cavalry Squadron Captain Will Knight, Great Captain Baron Cardoj and his eldest son Sauron and his steward, Locke have been waiting for white bread for a long time.

It didn’t take long for Locke’s men to return, and Kane gave him the lunch belonging to Locke. “Boss, you see this piece of meat is so fat, shall I help you eat it?” Kane said with a laugh.

“Fuck, Hans and I will go to the quarters camp later. Have you received all your military pay? Who is going to send money to the family, give the money to Hans, and I will send it for you later.” Locke took lunch and then He gave Kane a kick, turned and said to his players.

Perhaps the word’home’ is too far away for the soldiers in the war. Everyone was silent for a while after hearing it. Most people were nodded. In other teams, Captain’s request for military salary from the players may cause mutiny, but in Locke’s team, this is not the case, because Locke never frowns when the players need to borrow money.
