Chapter 131: The Rule of Man and the Governance of Man
Hawke continued, "Captain, you definitely won't let us soldiers do something too dangerous. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so there is no need to ask us about these things, you just give orders. ”
"Yes, Legionnaire." Sergeant Carlo also took over the words, "Soldiers just obey orders!" ”
"That's right! That's right! Locke nodded happily, and the knot in his heart was suddenly opened, and his heart was unusually happy.
"Any requirements? As long as I can satisfy, I will try to satisfy you. Locke continued.
"Request?" Hawke touched his chin and thought for a while and said, "Are we crusaders out of money?" If you have the money, can you raise our military pay a little? Or is it issued monthly? ”
"As you said, Commander, many soldiers have relatives at home, and they all need to eat and drink. And the salaries of our crusaders are too precarious. We also know that we crusaders don't have much money, and I hope to be a little more punctual and a little more. ”
"Like Hill, who escaped from their village with his wife and two children, and two parents, who both needed a stable life. And now it is difficult for us in Gadar to have a job to support our families, and most of them need to live on the military pay that Hill brought home. ”
"Commander, we are determined to defeat the Scourge and look forward to taking revenge on them, but we also want our family to live comfortably."
Hawke spread his hands, "That's what I'm trying to say." ”
Locke groaned and didn't speak.
As far as he knew, the monthly salary of an ordinary soldier was a silver coin, which was not a small amount, not counting the salary of non-commissioned officers and officers, and the monthly salary of the Fifth Army alone required more than 500 gold coins.
And now the crusaders can only rely on a barren copper mine to support the soldiers' salaries, and five combat legions are indeed the limit. For this reason, it can only be distributed once every three months, and the soldiers are okay to say that they can solve the problem of food in the regiment, but their families cannot.
So, before leaving, we have to find a way to solve the problem of eating for the relatives of the soldiers?
Locke looked down in thought, and he saw his pile of gold coins on the table.
I'm so stupid, isn't that the solution?
Take out another 500 gold coins and give some military pay to the soldiers, so that they can take them back and give them to their families, so that I can take them to the Silver Pine Forest, and then bring their families over there when it is stable!
With the farmland and mineral resources over there, it is enough to feed the families of these soldiers.
That's it!
Locke looked up, and he saw that the soldiers around him were quietly watching him.
That's a good question! We can't let our warriors shed blood for the kingdom while their families starve and weep at home! Locke stood up, looked at them and said assuringly, "You can pay a military salary today, trust me!" ”
"Oh?! Are you sure? ”
The soldiers were excited, and smiles spread across their faces.
"I'm leaving now to get you the money." Locke turned and walked to the door.
Sergeant Carlo grabbed the gold coins on the table, hurried after Locke, and handed them to Locke.
"Do a good job, I hope the next time I meet you, you can continue to move up the ranks." Locke patted Carlo on the shoulder and encouraged him.
"Yes! Yes! Legion Commander! Carlo saluted Locke, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, and he was obviously excited.
Locke finally waved at the soldiers in the room, and he opened the door to the room and rushed to the Legion headquarters in the snow.
Outside, the wind and snow were still howling, and there was no sign of abating.
Locke put on his cape's own hat and rushed all the way to the legion headquarters.
The guards at the gate had changed into new winter clothes. They wore masks, showed their eyes, and wore caps on their heads, and when they saw Locke's arrival, they saluted Locke, who nodded and walked into the Legion headquarters.
In the room, Bridget was slumped by the fireplace with a chair, like a boneless person.
"Hey! What are you doing?! Locke looked at her image and said angrily, it was just like Ge Youlie, the image of a paladin!
"Roast the fire~" Bridget glanced at him lazily, then turned her head to look at the stove and said motionlessly.
Locke walked over and found that this guy had taken off his boots!
There was also a small stool next to the donkey fire, on which Bridget put her feet and roasted her feet in cotton socks!
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?! Do your feet stink?! What about your image? Locke asked, gritting his teeth.
"An-la! Excited about what?! Brigitte gave him a blank look, straightened up slowly, and began to put on her boots. How can my feet smell when I soak my feet in tranquilizing flowers every day? Don't believe you to smell it?! ”
Bridget actually lifted her foot and handed it to Locke.
"Huh." Locke smiled, but he was gritting his teeth inside. He was sure of one thing, when it was summer, I would definitely design the armor of a female officer as a skirt!
I let you be presumptuous in front of me!
It's time to run out... It's interesting~
"Get up! There's something to do! Locke unceremoniously picked her up.
"Don't worry." Bridget wore her armor boots and muttered softly, "What could be the matter with such a big snowstorm?" ”
After everything was cleaned up, Bridget straightened up and looked at Locke.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Go find Shiloh! Go and see if Inspector Shiloh is gone, and call her over. Locke commanded, "Hurry up, I guess she hasn't left yet." After a while, she will be delayed when she returns to the monastery. ”
"Okay." Bridget raised her eyebrows and said helplessly, "Such a big wind and snow will not make people stop." But who made you the head? ”
"Is there anyone out there?!" Bridget turned and stood where she was, shouting outside.
"Herald, please command." A soldier walked in and saluted.
"Go! Bring Inspector Shiloh over, if she's there. Bridget gave orders to the soldier.
The soldier saluted and walked out.
Locke looked at her dumbfounded, and the latter turned his head to look at him normally.
"What's there to see? So surprised you? Bridget smiled and said, "Are you wondering why I didn't go out to find someone, right?" ”
Locke was tempted to nod yes, and that's what I thought.
"Locke, you have to think clearly, I'm the herald! Not your herald! Bridget scorned Locke, "So, don't call me to be your minion, understand?" ”
Looking at Bridget's triumphant expression, Locke laughed in his heart.
"That's easy to do." Locke sat at the command table, he pulled out a letter of order, took a pen, and began to write on the letter of order.
Bridget leaned in with some curiosity to see what Locke was writing.
"Major Bridget Abydis is dismissed from the post of herald, and the position of herald is temporarily given to Sergeant Nolis Morningstar, and Bridget Abydis temporarily serves as a full-time herald to the commander of the Fifth Legion, and the order is to be carried out from this moment on. Order signatory: Rock Harvey. ”
Bridget was immediately angry!
She reached out and snatched the letter that Locke had just written.
"You can't do that! I was recommended by the Grand Inquisitor, the Grand Commander, and the Grand Lord! You can't give this position to that elf of Noris! She has already worked part-time in two positions and has no energy! ”
Looking at the angry Bridget in front of him, Locke smiled and put the letter into his bag, "That's not necessarily, Norris can live for many years, and she has more energy than you and me." ”
Bridget dragged Locke and the magic bag on his belt without asking.
"You give it to me! This order cannot be issued! I can't be compared to the elves! ”
"I am the commander of the Fifth Legion, and I have the final say on all officer appointments." Locke was still grinning, but he could take the opportunity to cure this female ruffian.
Bridget still tugged at Locke's belt and didn't let go, nor did she speak.
"Hey, hey, pay attention to your image. You're a paladin. Locke looked at Bridget who was pulling his belt, and continued to tease as he said, "I can think of you as a man, but I can't accept a male paladin pulling my belt." ”
"This will make me very uncomfortable~"
Hum! How can you do it if you don't cure it! Why don't you ride on my head one day?!
Bridget stopped pulling abruptly, and she looked up at Locke with a smile like a changed face.
Locke looked at her suspiciously, "Hey, what do you want to do?" Let go first. ”
Bridget obediently let go of her hand, then stroked the short red hair bangs in front of her forehead with her hand, winked at Locke, and said very gently.
"Hey, Locke, don't you see that I'm not like a woman? I'm so cute! How can you bear it? ”
Locke suddenly felt goosebumps on his body.
Oh, my God!
This... She's crazy, isn't she?!
Locke feels bad! It's like a man is looking at himself.
Forgive me, I've really always treated you as a man, although you're okay, but I really can't accept your behavior!
Locke shuddered involuntarily, and a vicious chill rose from his back.
"Stop! Stop! Get back to normal! I won't issue this order yet! Locke hurriedly said to Bridget, who was looking up, "But you can't be like that again!" At least it makes me look pleasing to the eye! ”
"If only I had said no!" Bridget instantly returned to her original state and said angrily. Then she looked at Locke with a depressed expression, "Am I really not like a woman?" ”
Locke said matter-of-factly. "I think it's better for you to be a man, at least we can accept it."
These words instantly petrified Bridget's face, and she stared at Locke motionless.
Locke looked at her innocently, could it be that I was talking too much? Didn't you? You've always been like a boy, okay.
Bridget suddenly turned away and walked towards the fire. Locke could hear her muttering, "I'd be better off being a man... At least they can accept it..."
I don't mean that, do I?
