Heimarian Odyssey

Four years of war life gave Locke the habit of eating quickly. He quickly wiped his hands after eating, and said to Hans on the side “Hans, let’s go”.

Locke came to the quarters camp again. It was noon. Most people were either sleeping or soaking in the tavern. Locke went straight to the rear post of the quarters camp, took the money bag in Hans’s hand, and walked into the post.

“Warner! Warner!” Locke shouted.

“It’s dying! You’re dying! Damn Locke, I heard it, no naps make people sleep well, you damn fellow!” Warner, who was in charge of the station’s communication duties, walked out of a room in the station and complained. “Send money to the family again, right? Come on, give it to me!”

“Here, this belongs to me, this belongs to those guys in my team, don’t get confused!” Locke warned repeatedly.

“Understood, understood, it’s not the first time to send you money, no other team is like your mother-in-law!” Warner was still dissatisfied with Locke waking him to take a nap, and grumbled.

“You brat, if you get confused, watch me clean up you.” Locke gritted his teeth at the lucky guy. He is lucky because his post, Chief-In-Charge, not only enjoys the salary of the 3rd class soldiers, but the most important thing is the safety of this post. After all, everything can go wrong, but logistics can’t go wrong. And in this position, you don’t need to look at people’s faces. The average Small Captain really doesn’t dare to mess with Warner. But there is no promotion path here. Warner was in charge of the post when Locke 3 was waiting for the pawn. Now Locke has been promoted to the 2nd pawn for more than a year, and he is still here. However, I heard that he is related to Steward of Lord Baron, and I think he will be on the road in the future.

“Hmm, do you have any other requirements? Bring a message and so on.” Warner and Locke hadn’t dealt with each other for a day or two. He knew that this guy always had to bring two sentences to his family every time he got paid and sent money back. words.

“En. Bring me a message to my parents to make them pay attention to their health, and my sister, so that she doesn’t have to save money all the time, what she wants to buy, I don’t lack that little money now.” Locke has already thought about what to say. He believed that his elder sister knew what he wanted her to buy, a silk scarf with a bundle of hair, which was Locke’s obsession.

“Well, understood, the caravan sent back to our Cardoj will depart tomorrow, first to Peters, the occupied area of ​​Tyr in the east, then to the capital city of Felor, and finally back to our southern province of Del. It will be available in 20 days at the latest. Send it back,” Warner said. After chatting with Warner for a while, Locke left. He doesn’t disturb Warner’s lunch break either. Don’t look at Warner right now and Locke is quite deserted, waiting for the afternoon to be lively. Because today payment is paid.

Out of the post, Locke took Hans back to the camp of their team. “Hans, what do you think our village is like now?” Locke and Hans were chatting on the way back. The two of them came out of the same village, and the two of them are neighbors.

“It’s still the same. The maple tree at the entrance of the village should be bigger. My Old Brother has another son this year. I now have 3 nephews. The land of my family will not worry about the future. The harvest this year is said to be very good. Killed a pig for our military household, every family has a share, and…” Hans is usually a bored boy, but he can’t hold it as soon as he opens the phone folder. He kept chattering until the two returned to the camp.

“This battle has been fighting for 4 years and it is almost over. I really want to go back soon,” Locke exclaimed.

After Locke and Hans returned to their team’s tent, all the team except for the servant Phil, who was on duty, had a lunch break. Those who have been on the battlefield understand that full energy can make you live longer on the battlefield. .

Locke walked to his bed, took off his coat, and went to bed, but he was not at all asleep. He was thinking about how he could operate and be promoted to first class as soon as possible. The army of the Kingdom of Faustine has its own set of promotion system: servant soldiers, cannon fodder on the battlefield, just after joining the army after 2 months of training; 3rd class soldiers, the main combat force in the kingdom army, requires more than 2 years of military service ( It takes more than one year in wartime) and must have the strength to deal with 3 servants; 2nd-class soldiers, serving as 10 Small Captains in the army, need more than 3 years of military experience (more than 2 years in wartime), have to deal with 3 3rd-class soldiers First-class soldier, the trump card battle strength in the army, to serve as Captain among 100 people, requires more than 4 years of military service (more than 3 years in wartime), and has the strength to defeat at least 3 second-class soldiers. Yes, yes. Defeated, because first-class soldiers have the right to have the cultivation Battle Qi cultivation technique; as for the promotion of first-class soldiers to Knight, it is clearly stated in the army that it is not at all that they will not be public.

Locke knows his own strength, and he can deal with 3 second-class soldiers of the same level as his own. If you work hard, it will be fine for a short time. The military age is enough, but he has no idea whether he can be promoted. He is in their barracks with similar strength. There are quite a few. Because of the battle two months ago, their battalion suffered one third casualty. Captain of the 2rd Squadron and Captain of the 2th Squadron were killed in battle. Only two seats were vacated. There were too many monks and porridge. I do not know how many people were staring at these two seats. .

Thinking of the battle two months ago, Locke also shuddered. This is the second only to Gordon Heights battle that Locke experienced. In order to win this Fermer great valley leading to the hinterland of the enemy country, the Kingdom’s Three Great Legions is In order to break the deadlock, the Three Great Legions used wheel warfare to attack the canyon highlands in turn. The enemy defending the canyon is said to have only one Legion force, how can it be held. This battle was extremely difficult. The enemy was desperate to defend this final front. Locke experienced more than one severely injured enemy army soldier’s frenzied attack after being surrounded by his own side. This was for protection. Is it your home? Locke asked herself, if her kingdom was invaded, would she do it? I remembered that my army successfully defeated the Shalor Kingdom’s large forces last year and captured what Peters did in the Shalor Kingdom, burned, killed, and looted. People with a little wealth were demoted to slaves. Beautiful women were not aristocrats. Lord seized it as a military prostitute, and thought of his simple parents and kind-hearted elder sister. Locke also understood these opponents, because under the same circumstances, Locke would do more ruthlessly.

Facing such a bloody opponent, Locke was full of respect, but he was not soft. This is war, and his brother is also casualties.

Three Great Legions stormed for nearly a month before taking down the great valley of Fermer. Their battalion belongs to the Eagle Legion, the 2th Battalion of the Eagle Legion 5nd Step Corps. The 2nd Step Corps was the vanguard of the entire Legion in that battle, and the 3rd and 4th Squadrons of their group were the vanguards of their battalion. Their two squadrons attacked the battle. The sound of screaming killing never stopped. Even Locke, who was trimming in the rear, could hear the screams, shouts, blade and sword collide. From time to time, a Fireball or lightning flashed across the sky. This is said to be the power of magic, and blood stained the entire sky.

When Locke’s squadron and the first squadron participated in the offensive, the 3rd and 4th squadrons that they had withdrawn from their battalion had been reduced by nearly half. This caused a lot of panic to the soldiers in the barracks, but they fought for 4 years. The fighting Locke suppressed the panic in his heart. Locke, who has lived on the battlefield like a meat grinder for 4 years, understands a truth. Don’t be timid on the battlefield. The more afraid you are, the faster you will die. In that battle, their squad escaped several waves of magic bombardment under the command of Locke. Locke did not fight against the enemy. This kind of deadly enemy is the most not to be trifled with. He chooses to suggest Captain Uncle Yoshk participated in the war on the flank of the canyon, where there are many dangerous rocks, easy to avoid bows and arrows and magical attacks. The enemy’s garrison is not many.

After all, the war is war. Locke and his team still killed two people in the battle, the third-class soldier Gree, a powerful swordsman, servant Gal, a very humorous little boy, only 2 years old. In this battle, Locke personally captured a 3nd-class soldier, a 16rd-class soldier, and 2 servants who were slightly injured. The price was Locke’s right chest stabbed and many minor injuries. The final result was that their squad killed a total of 3 second-class pawn, 5 third-class pawns, and more than ten servant pawns. They had such a great record not only because they fought more and less from the beginning, but also It is because of the strong cohesion of their team.

After beheading the enemy, use their waist tokens to exchange military merits in the camp. Servant soldiers will earn 1 point of military merit, 3rd-rank soldiers will account for 5 points, and 2nd-rank soldiers will account for 10 points. The military merits Locke has accumulated now are almost 50 points. Military merits in the military camp can be exchanged for promotion, and 100 military merits can be exchanged for the rank of first-class soldier; and as a currency, soldiers can buy everything they want in the military camp through military merit. This is more versatile than silver thaler and has stronger purchasing power. ; Finally, it can be exchanged for money, 1 military merit for 1 silver thaler. It is the choice of most soldiers to exchange military service for money. The Kingdom of Faustan has experienced two years of drought, and the price of food remains high. Most of the soldiers are to keep their families alive. Don’t embezzle, send the money back to your family, and your relatives can survive.

Locke had always exchanged his military merits for money, but since he experienced the bloody battle of Gordon Heights last year, he has changed his mind. If he can’t survive, how can he make his family live better. The one who died the most and the fastest on the battlefield was the cannon fodder at the bottom. The servants died the fastest in high-intensity wars. Even the 3rd-class soldiers who had little strength at the time were finally hiding after exhaustion. Survived among the dead. After that bloody battle, his strength has improved a lot. With the help of a large number of waist tokens captured by the enemy and the care of the also surviving Uncle Yoshk who has been promoted to Captain, he became Small Captain and broke away from the big head. category.

Locke considered that his current strength should be in the middle of the competition among these people. Although his military merits may not be the highest, it must be higher than most of them. There is still a certain chance of improving his rank this time. I believe Uncle Yoshk will also help myself.
