Chapter 2: 2. Letter

Four years of war life gave Locke the habit of eating quickly. After a quick meal, he wiped his hands and said to Hans beside him, "Hans, let's go."

Locke came to the quarters camp again. It was noon now. Most of the people were either sleeping or soaking in the tavern. Locke went straight to the inn at the rear of the quarters camp, took the purse from Hans's hand, and walked into the inn.

"Warner! Warner!" Rock shouted.

"Damn Locke, I heard it, no one can sleep well during the afternoon nap, you damn fellow!" Warner, who was in charge of the communication duty of the inn, walked out of a room in the inn and complained. Said, "Is it sending money to my family again? Come on, give it to me!"

"Here, it's mine, it's the guys in my team, don't mix it up!" Locke urged.

"I know, I know, it's not the first time I've sent you money, no other team has a mother-in-law like you!" Warner was still dissatisfied with Locke for waking him up for a nap, and complained.

"You kid, if you get confused, I'll take care of you." Locke gritted his teeth at the lucky guy. He is said to be lucky because the person in charge of the inn not only enjoys the salary of a third-class soldier, but the most important thing is the safety of the post. After all, anything can go wrong, but logistics cannot go wrong. And in this position, you don't need to look at people's faces, and the average team captain really doesn't dare to provoke Warner. However, there is no promotion path here. Warner was in charge of the inn when Locke was a third-class soldier. Now that Locke has been promoted to a second-class soldier for more than a year, he is still here. However, Locke heard that he is related to the baron's butler, and he think Warner will have a way to go in the future.

"Hmmmm, do you have any other requirements? Bring a message or something." Warner hasn't dealt with Locke for a day or two. He knows that this guy always has to bring a couple of words to his family every time he takes the army salaries and sends the money back. .

"Well. Bring a message to my parents to let them pay attention to their health, and my sister, so that she doesn't have to save money all the time, so she can buy whatever she wants. I don't lack that money now." Locke had already thought about what to say. He believed that his sister knew what he wanted her to buy, a silk scarf for her hair, which was Locke's obsession.

"Well, I see, the caravan sent back to our Kaidoqi leadership will set off tomorrow, first to Peters Land, the occupied area of ​​eastern Tyre province, then to the capital city of Flor, and finally back to our southern Del province, It can be sent back in 20 days at the latest," Warner said. After chatting with Warner for a while, Locke left. He also didn't interrupt Warner's lunch break. Don't look at Warner is quite deserted now, and it will be lively in the afternoon. Because today is paid.

Out of the inn, Locke took Hans back to their team's camp. "Hans, what do you think our village is like now?" On the way back, Locke and Hans chatted. The two of them came from the same village, and the two of them were neighbors.

"It's still the same. The maple tree at the entrance of the village should be bigger. My brother has another son this year. I have three nephews now. The family will not worry about the future. The harvest this year is said to be very good. We killed a pig for our military household, and each family has a share, and..." Hans was usually a sulky guy, but he couldn't hold it back when he opened his chatter, and kept babbling on until the two returned to the camp.

"This battle has been fought for four years, and it's almost over. I really want to go back quickly," Locke sighed.

After Locke and Hans returned to their team's tent, except for Phil, the servant on duty, the rest of the team was on lunch break. Anyone who has been on the battlefield understands that abundant energy can make you live longer on the battlefield. .

Locke walked to his bed, took off his coat, and got on the bed, but he didn't fall asleep. He was thinking about how he should operate and be promoted to first class as soon as possible. The Faustin Kingdom's army has its own promotion system: servants, cannon fodder on the battlefield, just joined the army after two months of training; third-class soldiers, the main combat power in the kingdom's army, requires more than two years of military service ( It takes more than one year in wartime) and must have the strength to deal with three servants; a second-class soldier, serving as a team leader of 10 people in the army, requires more than three years of military experience (more than two years in wartime) and has the strength to deal with three third-class soldiers ; First class, the ace in the army, to serve as the captain of a hundred-man squadron, you need more than four years of military experience (more than three years in wartime), and have the strength to defeat at least three second class soldiers. Yes, defeat. Because first class soldiers are the right to practice Dou Qi; as for the promotion of the first class to the knight, there is no clear statement in the army, and it will not be public until you reach that level.

Locke knows his own strength. He can deal with three second-class soldiers of the same level as himself. If he works hard, it will be fine for a short time, and his military age is enough. But he has no idea whether he can be promoted. Because of the battle two months ago, one-third of their battalion suffered casualties. The captain of the third squadron and the deputy squadron of the fourth squadron died in the battle. Only two seats were vacant. There were too many monks and few porridge.

Thinking of the battle two months ago, Locke also shuddered. This was the battle that Locke experienced second only to the bloody battle in Gordon Heights. In order to win the Filmer Grand Canyon leading to the enemy's hinterland, the three major legions of the kingdom were In order to break the deadlock, the three major legions used wheel battles to attack the canyon heights in turn. The enemy defending the canyon is said to have only one legion's strength, so how can they hold it. This battle was extremely difficult. The enemy fought hard to defend this last front. Locke experienced more than once that severely wounded enemy soldiers attacked desperately after being surrounded by their own side. This was to protect the your own home? Locke asked himself, if his kingdom was invaded, would he do the same? He remembered what his army had done in the Charlo Kingdom after successfully defeating the large army of the Kingdom of Charlo last year and occupied Peters Land. They burned, killed and looted. People with a little wealth were demoted to slaves. The woman who were beautiful was either seized by the noble master or acted as a military prostitute. He remembered his simple parents and kind sister. Locke also understood these opponents, because under the same circumstances, Locke would be more ruthless.

Faced with such a bloody opponent, Locke was full of respect, but he did not hesitate. It's war, and his brother is taking casualties.

The three major armies stormed for nearly a month before taking down the Filmer Grand Canyon. Their battalion belongs to the Eagle Corps and is the fifth battalion of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the Eagle Corps. In that battle, the 2nd Infantry Regiment was the vanguard of the entire Corps, and the 3rd and 4th Squadrons of their battalion were the vanguards of their battalion. The first battle was attacked by the two squadrons of them, and the sound of slaughtering never stopped. Even Locke, who was grooming at the rear at the time, could hear screams, shouts, and the sound of swords colliding. From time to time, a fireball or lightning flashed across the sky, which was said to be the power of magic, and blood stained the entire sky red.

When it was Locke's turn and the 1st squadron took part in the attack, the 3rd and 4th squadrons that had been withdrawn from their battalion had been reduced by nearly half, which caused a lot of panic to the soldiers in the barracks, but they fought for four years. The fighting Locke suppressed the panic in his heart. Locke, who has lived on the battlefield like a meat grinder for four years, understands a truth. You can't be timid on the battlefield. The more afraid you are, the faster you die. In that battle, under the command of Locke, their team avoided several waves of magic bombing. Locke did not fight recklessly against the enemy. Such a deadly enemy is the most difficult to provoke. He chose to advise the squadron leader. Uncle Yoshack participated in the war on the flank of the canyon, where there are many dangerous walls and strange rocks, and it is easy to avoid bows and magic attacks.

War is war after all, and Locke's team still killed two people in battle, third-class soldier Gree, a sword and shield player with a lot of strength, servant Gal, a humorous little boy who was only 16 years old. In this battle, Locke personally captured a second-class soldier, a third-class soldier, and five or six servants who were slightly injured. The price was that Locke was stabbed in the right chest and many minor injuries. The final result is that their team killed a total of 1 second-class soldier, 5 third-class soldiers, and more than ten servants. They can have such a great record not only because their battles have been fought with more and less from the beginning to the end, but also because Their squad is cohesive.

After beheading the enemy, you can take their waist cards to exchange for military merit in the camp. Servants account for 1 military merit in the army, third-class soldiers account for 5 points, and second-class soldiers account for 10 points. The military merit that Locke has now accumulated is almost 50 points. Military merit in the barracks can be exchanged for promotion, and 100 military merits can be exchanged for the rank of first-class soldier; and it is used as currency, soldiers can buy everything they want in the military supply camp through military merit, which is more versatile than silver delle and has more purchasing power. In the end, it can be exchanged for money, 1 military merit for 1 silver Delle. This is the choice of most soldiers to exchange military merit for money. The Faustin Kingdom has experienced two years of drought, and the price of food has remained high. Most of the soldiers are in order to keep their families alive. The nobles and the military do not dare to embezzle the money in exchange for military merit. No embezzle, send the money back to their family, and their relatives will be able to live.

Locke has always exchanged his military achievements for money before, but after he experienced the bloody battle in Gordon Heights last year, he changed his mind. If he can't live, how can he make his family better. The cannon fodder at the bottom died the most and the fastest on the battlefield. The servants died the fastest in high-intensity wars. Even the third-class soldier, who was a small and powerful soldier at the time, finally hid after exhaustion. Survived among the dead. After the bloody battle, his strength has improved a lot. With the large number of dog tag captured by the enemy and the care of the surviving Uncle Yoshak, who has been promoted to the squadron leader, he became the squad leader and broke away from the big head. range of soldiers.

Locke considered that his current strength should be in the middle of the competition among these people. Although his military merit is not necessarily the highest, it must be higher than most people. There is still a certain chance to improve his military rank this time. He believe that Uncle Yoshak will also help him.
