Heimarian Odyssey

Uncle Yoshk casually took off his casual clothes after entering the door, put it on the hanger, and sat on the sofa on the side. Locke did so, put the casual clothes away, and sat on the other side. Two men in military leather shirts were not at all eager to talk. Locke first opened the bottle, filled Uncle Yoshk with a glass, and then filled himself with a glass. After the sound of “peng”, the two people first opened the bottle. After a toast, I started talking about business.

“Yes, it’s getting more and more stable. It seems that you brat has grown a lot over the years.” Uncle Yoshk said first. It’s incredible. In the eyes of outsiders, Yoshk, who is bold and incomparably rugged, can teach a person to be calm. It seems that this beard man is not as simple as it looks.

“Uncle Yoshk, you laughed, I learned everything from you.” Locke shyly said.

“Haha, you brat don’t talk! How can I teach you this, am I that kind of person?” Uncle Yoshk scolded with a smile. After that, the two people laughed in unison.

“Uncle, is there any hope for me to be promoted this time?” Locke filled two people with another glass, and finally couldn’t help but ask after driving.

“Locke, you have been my leader since you were a soldier. I have been taking you for 4 years now. I saw you as a son. I will definitely help you when you are promoted this time.” Uncle Yoshk assured Locke Dao, he really likes this smart and powerful young man.

“Uncle, I believe in you!” Locke does believe in Uncle Yoshk, and he also regards Yoshk as a grown-up. “However, your help should not be enough. I need to do something about uncle. Tell me.” Locke asked. .

“It’s not enough to have my support, but I will call Old Karl to support you. You still need to manage the rest.” Old Karl is the deputy Captain of their squadron. I heard that he had a life with Uncle Yoshk. For friendship, outsiders seem to be a serious old soldier with no sand in his eyes, but he treats his soldiers very well. Locke had a good impression of him.

“Well, what else Uncle Yoshk has to say directly, I will listen.” Uncle Yoshk obviously has something to say.

“These two seats are vacated in this election. The 2 lieutenants of our 4 teams Captain, Cavalry Captain, and our Great Captain Baron Cardoj, and one of them are his eldest son. Vice Captain Sauron Young Master of the Cavalry. “Their battalion is a large squadron with four squadrons of infantry and one squadron of cavalry. Locke has seen their battalion cavalry battles many times. To be honest, Locke feels that this cavalry team has challenged three times their number of infantry in open terrain. The sturdy armor, the straight Rider Head gun, and the impact of the horses, the overwhelming majority infantry is not an enemy of the cavalry. “In this election, Baron Cardoj will not participate, nor will the Cavalry Captain. The proposal should be our 6 guys and Sauron Young Master. I have already got 4 votes for you, and you have at least the rest. 3 more votes.” Uncle Yoshk said to Locke.

“The first squadron I only have a little friendship with their deputy Captain. I have no friendship between the third squadron deputy Captain and the 3th squadron Captain, and they are said to be recovering?” Locke answered honestly and asked.

“Hmph, the tough battle is over. It’s time to search for oil and water. Those two guys have only been able to take care of their injuries for 2 weeks. They can’t bear the injuries. They have already taken the rest of their team and the recruits who have just been recruited. Go’wandering’.” Uncle Yoshk said disdainfully.

“Wandering” is a term used in the army. It means to capture villages still under the rule of the Shalor Kingdom. It is not so much a capture as a mopping up. There is no such thing as a village-scale resistance force. There are no regular soldiers, and most of them are just a few. Militia and reckless villagers, a large village has 2 people and a small village has only a few dozen people, and a squadron can handle it. In fact, their squadron, under the leadership of Uncle Yoshk, has been “wandering” as long as there is time for these 100 months.

The main task of their battalion was to capture towns with a little resistance, and only in cities above the size of the town would merchants, rich peasants, and even nobles exist. Baron Cardoj and his cavalry squadron are not very interested in villages with little oil and water. Only 4 infantry squadrons will go for extra money. However, Baron’s caravan would buy the materials seized by the soldiers: the silver bracelets handed down by the villagers, the fur collected by the hunters in the village, and even horses, cows, and donkeys. There are also some good clothes and shoes, and the soldiers will keep them for themselves if they are swept.

Soldiers have their own bottom line. At least food is not grabbed, and high-level military camps also strictly forbid it, but if you catch two chickens and ducks to improve their food, this is often done. Locke is also a rural person. Originally, he was not ashamed of doing these things that bullied the surname of the flat head 2, but after experiencing war sacrifices and death, he didn’t know what attitude he had towards these Shalorians. There is hatred and guilt for the displaced ordinary commoner who was beaten by them. However, this does not prevent Locke from making a fortune. He also needs to survive, and he needs to make his family and his brothers live better. Locke had a bulging pocket some time ago, and he often sent money to his family and invited his men to drink alcohol.

“Uncle, we haven’t been’wandering’ for almost a week, are we about to start?” Back to the topic, Locke asked.

“Well, a decision has been made. Lord Baron will join forces with Kasher Baron of the 7th Battalion of our Corps to attack the city of Frans here. This is why we have to elect two Captains in the near future. Moreover, there is no nearby. There are villages with oil and water.” Normal cities have city walls and moats. It is difficult to win with more than 2 people in their brigade alone. Therefore, senior leaders often choose to cooperate with friendly forces. They have entered the hinterland of Shalor Kingdom. It’s been 500 months, and 2 city-level battles have been fought. They all cooperated with other teams. Locke also has experience in siege warfare. Although the casualties of the siege were not low, the generous rewards after the city was broken, and the army’s tacit approval of the soldiers to make a fortune on the day the city broke, made everyone’s desire for siege war greater than their fear of death. In fact, the fortunes made on the day of breaking the city are the top priority for the soldiers. The Kashgar Baron’s troops have cooperated with their battalion twice.

The two people were talking while drinking, and after a while a bottle of ale bottomed out. Locke opened the second bottle and filled it with Uncle Yoshk and herself. Uncle Yoshk raised his glass and took a sip and said, “The deputy Captain of the first squadron is also from our mine town. I also have some friendship with him. Give him some gifts. I will talk about it and try to win this vote. As for the remaining three people, I am not familiar with them, or even deal with them. This requires your own efforts.” In the barracks, there are still a lot of nasty among the big soldiers, let alone the middle Captain class. Even Locke, who is very popular, can’t guarantee that he has a good relationship with half of the Small Captain in the camp. Knowing the person, knowing the face and not knowing the heart, this is the truth.

“I suggest you think of a solution from Sauron Young Master.” Uncle Yoshk added, as if thinking of something again. “You and Sauron Young Master are both 18 and 9-year-old youngsters, and they share a common language. You can ask him to show your loyalty or give some gifts. You may be able to do it. But in that case, you will be Eldest Young Master’s person in the future.” Baron Cardoj does not stop. There is a son. Although the eldest son inheritance system prevails in the Kingdom of Faustine, Baron’s other sons are not without the opportunity to inherit the title. As far as he knows, it is his 2 sons who are temporarily helping Baron manage the territory in the country.

“I’m a nobleman, what gift can I give you a favor?” Locke helplessly said, “Well, I want to find a way.”

“I knew you brat had a way. The only thing I can help is that, and the rest is up to you.” Uncle Yoshk patted Locke on the shoulder and said.

“Okay, uncle, I will work hard. Come on, do this cup.” Locke raised his glasses to clink with Uncle Yoshk again.
