Chapter 254: Promotion
When everything was on track for Brill, Locke took his leave from the High Lord and the Grand Inquisitor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info left here with Major Hudson's cavalry regiment and Major Paul's recruit 1st Regiment with reinforcements.
Because of the strategy, Locke had to go back and explain some things clearly.
After passing through Haru Canyon, the Forsaken did not make any other moves, and Locke's hanging heart finally relaxed. In his impression, the queen is not a person to be messed with, and he doesn't know why she didn't react to this big war this time.
This is the best, their current unanimous enemies are all Scourge Legions, and it is best for both sides to maintain restraint.
Entering the territory of the Silver Pine Forest, Locke's heart was completely relaxed. After all, this is a place that I have worked hard to run, and I know this place as well as I know my own home.
Returning to Iva after a long journey, Locke gave his entourage a brief rest and hurriedly gathered all the officers.
Now the town hall where Locke lives has been officially renamed, the Crusader Southern Theater Command, and several more titles have been added to his head.
The lord of the Tirisphahl Glade, the deputy commander of the Crusaders, and the commander of the southern theater of operations of the Crusaders, perhaps to avoid another trial, or perhaps because Locke is now one of the leaders of the Crusaders.
Locke gained great autonomy in the Southern Theater of Operations.
First of all, he has the right to appoint and dismiss corps-level officers in the Southern Theater, the right to conscript troops on his own, the right to mint money, the right to appoint personnel, and so on, all of the above. However, it was still necessary to submit the memorandum and files to the Crusader Headquarters afterwards and store them in the archives of the Crusader Headquarters.
Secondly, he has the right to decide on the next step of the development plan of the southern theater of operations, and the Crusader Grand Command will not interfere too much.
Eventually, the Crusader Grand Command confirmed Locke's position among the Crusaders, as he was the sixth Crusader leader to line up behind Lord Tyran Fording in the Valley of the Hearth.
The ranking of the Crusader leaders is descending from the rank of Grand Commander, Grand Crusade Saidan Dassault Khan (Grand Crusade is the highest honorary title), Grand Lord Alexandros Mograini, Grand Prosecutor Ethan Lien, and Grand General Alfred Abydis.
If the previous commanders were all killed, Locke would be the leader of the Crusaders. Of course, this is certainly not possible.
At Locke's Southern Theater Command, Locke was having a meeting and promotion with all the officers in the Silver Pine Forest.
"Before the meeting begins, I'll announce a few promotion orders!" Locke smiled and looked at all the officers below, now it was time to report that they had their back.
Locke finished speaking, and a line of soldiers walked up behind Locke with a tray.
All the officers in the audience looked at them with serious faces, and of course the excitement in their eyes Locke could see it. Of all the people present, only the elf girl was unmoved, and she still looked at Locke with a cold face.
"Major Paul Alikin, promoted to colonel. The Recruit Regiment was officially renamed the Sixth Legion of the Crusaders. Major Paul came up with a stern change of color, and walked up to Locke and saluted him.
Locke nodded with a smile, turned around and took out a new battle robe from the tray in the hands of the soldiers behind him, as well as the stamped appointment papers of the Crusader Grand Command and the Southern Theater of Operations, and handed it to him.
"Major Arad Saul, promoted to colonel. The Recruit Regiment was officially renamed the Seventh Legion of the Crusaders. Thor walked up with a smile, calmly took the things from Locke's hand, and saluted Locke with a smile.
"Legion Commander, I didn't expect that I would become a Legion Commander one day. Thank you, thank you. I will always support you! I could see that Thor was smiling a little stiffly, perhaps because of excitement.
"Major Crick Fran, promoted to colonel. The Recruit Regiment was officially renamed the Eighth Legion of the Crusaders. Fran, an officer who was born as a captain of the Second Legion, now took the express train of Locke and quickly climbed to the position of the commander of the legion, which made him a little incoherent with excitement.
"I.... I thank you. He saluted excitedly, "Thank you!" I just did what I had to do, thanks. I'll try! ”
Locke tapped him on the shoulder and gave him a few words, and the latter walked off the stage excitedly.
"Major Drum Hudson, promoted to colonel and deputy commander of the southern theater of the Crusaders, belonged to the cavalry regiment, officially renamed the First Crusader Cavalry Regiment."
Compared with the somewhat excited guy in front, Hudson, the old officer, was much more stable. He strode up to Locke and saluted in one go.
"Congratulations, Legion Commander. No, it's the commander, our leader. Thank you for your recognition of my efforts! The gray-haired old officer was still as usual, and he congratulated Locke with a smile.
"I have to thank you for being trapped in Brill, and if it weren't for your decisiveness, I wouldn't know what would have happened!" Locke is really grateful to him, if it weren't for him and Shiloh's decisiveness, he might have died there, right?
"You're my commander, aren't you? The commander is above all else, isn't it?!? Major Hudson smiled as his gray hair shook his head.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Major Bridget Abydis was promoted to the rank of colonel and became the new commander of the Fifth Legion." Locke looked at Bridget in the crowd, who was coming to the front with a determined face.
Brigitte had been depressed for a long time since the end of the last war, perhaps due to the sheer number of dead and wounded soldiers. This has made her a little difficult to let go, and she has not been able to get out of it for a long time.
"Let the past pass, you should look forward, and you can't let the sacrifice of the soldiers be worthless. Now that you are a legionnaire, you need to think from a higher position, not be as reckless as before, and not live up to the trust placed in you by those who have passed away. ”
Locke handed over his robe and paperwork and encouraged her.
Bridget looked at what Locke was holding on, she sighed, glanced at the ground, and let out a sigh.
"It's your responsibility," Locke continued to hand her, "and with great power comes great responsibility, isn't it?" ”
Bridget silently took the thing from Locke's hand, and she solemnly saluted Locke, "I will not disappoint everyone's expectations." ”
Looking at her back as she turned to leave, Locke sighed inwardly.
Once you succeed, your decisions determine the life and death of the soldiers under your command, and I believe that you will not be reckless in the future.
Locke shifted his gaze to Norris, who glared at him.
"Norris Morningstar was promoted to the rank of colonel, taking over as the new herald. The Herald was merged with the Guards Company, increasing the number of soldiers to 1,000, and the number of soldiers who met the requirements could be found throughout the Legion. ”
"The Kingdom Security Service has been renamed the National Security Agency of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and its responsibilities remain unchanged."
The officers present whispered a little, after all, in the history of Lordaeron, no race that was not a human was awarded such a high rank.
Compared to the rank, the others didn't care, anyway, they didn't really understand what it meant.
The elf girl stepped forward with a serious face, she saluted Locke in the human way, and then accepted the robe and paperwork in Locke's hand.
Locke suddenly relaxed, as long as she didn't refuse herself, it meant that she was angry before. There will be a chance to get together in the future.
"Gary Gates," Locke rolled his gaze to the goblin sitting in the corner looking at him.
"Yes! Your Lord! The goblin swooped up and rushed to Locke's front desk.
He also learned the human posture and saluted Locke with a very non-standard military salute.
"As a mage, do you have the idea to become an officer in the crusaders?" Locke asked hesitantly, he hadn't seen a mage in a military position.
"Oh, this one." Gates was obviously not very cold, and he said with some embarrassment, "Your Excellency, you know, I am a mage. I have no time to study new inventions and creations, as well as spells, and I am afraid that I will not have time for military duty. ”
"Alright," Locke nodded, just as he expected. He tried to discuss, "As our chief engineer, you know more about aircraft than any of us." I hope to be in charge of the Air Force for a while until a more suitable candidate comes along and you can step down? ”
"So," Gates muttered for a moment, grabbing his pointed ear and asking, "then, my lordship, I'll apply for a high salary so that I can accept these jobs." However, this is all temporary. I'll help you choose a suitable Air Force leader, and then I'll go back to inventing and creating. ”
"Thank you very much."
After a while, it would be good for his first batch of soldiers who are familiar with the processes of the Air Force to grow up.
"Prosecutor Shiloh Lucas, here's a new letter of appointment from Grand Prosecutor Ethan Lien," Locke called Shiloh waving the letter of appointment in his hand, "In this letter of appointment, you are appointed prosecutor in the southern theater of operations of the Crusaders, and your rank has been adjusted to that of senior prosecutor." ”
Shiloh stepped forward and smiled at the letter. In the letter, the Grand Prosecutor made a point of mentioning that it was Locke's initiative to ask for her rank to be raised. Originally, the cathedral was going to resend a prosecutor, and Shiloh was just a deputy.
"The Grand Prosecutor will check your own perception of the Light after a while, and I hope you will take the time to improve. If you have any doubts, you can talk to me and Bridget. ”
"Thank you, my lord!" Shiloh bowed, "Thank you for recommending me. ”
"Wait, don't rush to leave." Locke stopped her, and he beckoned to Berg, who was sitting in the corner, who calmly stared at the scrutinizing gaze of the officers around him.
Shiloh also looked at him curiously.
"This is Baron Berg Hansen. In the future, he will share your work in civil affairs and relieve you of stress. Locke introduced Berg to Shiloh, "and that way, you'll be free to do your job." ”
"Hi guys. I'm Berg Hansen, and you can call me Baron Berg. Berg put down his shelf and bowed to the officers around him.
Berg's respectful attitude made the officers who were hostile to him have a much better impression of him.
