Chapter Seventy-Four: The Lively Barracks
"Big Brother Kane, Big Brother Hans, Lo... Lo ... Big Brother Locke, he... He... Outside... Kane and Hans, who were still chatting in the tent, were suddenly interrupted by Phil, who had broken in.
"Phil, what do you say?" Hans asked with a frown, Locke's original team of ten people, after the battle with the blood red, whether it was Yard, who often liked to joke with Kane, or Peter, who had always been honest, all died, and with Locke's 11-man team at the beginning, now only Kane, Hans and Phil, who had always been a servant, were left.
Hans and Kane still take good care of their old brothers, Phil is a recruit who has just joined the army for less than half a year, and because of this friendship that survived together, Hans and Kane were exceptionally promoted to become third-class soldiers after being appointed as acting squadron leaders, and now the fourth squadron that exists in name only, and only the three of them can be considered a good relationship at present.
Although Gulas, who once followed Locke to the black market, also survived, but he lost a leg and is no different from a waste now, the baron's convoy has planned to take Gulas back to Kaidoqi next month, and he can return to his hometown alive, although he lost a leg, I really don't know if he is lucky or unlucky.
Hans knew that Kane had always been obsessed with Locke's forgetfulness of life and death and made them escape, so in the barracks, Hans forbade his soldiers to talk about Locke, and the brotherhood of Locke only had to be hidden in his heart, and there was no need to make noise every day, which would only increase his sorrow.
It's not that Hans is cold-blooded, the relationship between Hans and Locke is actually the most profound, they have played since they were young, and they have fought together since they first joined the army to the present, if you want to say that Locke has blocked the most knives, Hans said second, no one dares to say first. Hans was an introverted man, who usually said very little, but did the most. Xia Qian's matter, Hans helped the most.
"Big Brother Locke, he... He... He's outside!" Phil gasped, finally getting the sentence out in its entirety. He ran all the way from the front camp to the rear camp, and with the non-stop speed, his face was red, I don't know whether he was tired or excited.
Kane and Hans were stunned for a moment, and looked at each other in shock, Kane excitedly grabbed Phil's neck and asked excitedly, "What did you say?
"In ... Outside!ahem!" Poor Phil was so stunned by Kane's sudden thud that he almost didn't catch his breath, and hurriedly pointed out of the tent.
"Hammer!" "Hammer!" kicked over the debris that was blocking the way, and the two of them ran straight out.
"Brother Locke, why are you still alive!"
"Brother Locke, where have you been?"
"Brother Locke, is it really you?"
"Brother Locke, what are you wearing?"
。。。。。。
Locke was surrounded by enthusiastic soldiers at this time, although their battalion had lost more than half of their brothers before, but there were more than two hundred people still alive, plus the soldiers of the cavalry squadron, the number was not small. What's more, now almost the entire battalion of soldiers has rushed out, crowded with people, and Locke, who is dressed in beast fur, is almost not covered by the crowd.
Kane and Hans were the last to arrive because they lived in the rear tent provided by the squadron leader, and when they arrived, they saw a scene of hundreds of soldiers surrounding two wild men dressed in animal furs, bustling and chaotic greetings. From the face of one of the wild men, and the familiar voice of the answer, the two recognized at a glance that this was their big brother Locke!
Locke also saw Kane and Hans outside the crowd, and looked at the familiar faces of his two brothers, and the corners of Locke's mouth also smiled.
Men don't communicate too much with each other, and they can understand each other's feelings with just one look and one expression. Kane and Hans are shocked and surprised to see their brothers again, and Locke enjoys the joy of this reunion.
The scene was very enthusiastic, Locke has always had a good prestige in the battalion, and the soldiers who came back alive from the last battle had a private tone, that is, Locke died to protect his subordinate brothers and Young Master Zoro, and the soldiers of the whole battalion were in awe of Locke's behavior.
In this hierarchical society, it is really rare to have a commander like Locke who thinks about his brothers and sacrifices for his subordinates, which soldier doesn't want his commander to be the same as Locke, and who doesn't want to have a big brother like Locke, and now Locke's prestige among the ordinary soldiers in the battalion has unconsciously reached its peak.
"What's all the noise?" Squadron Leader Monte and Baron Kedozi walked over from not far away, Squadron Leader Monte yelled impatiently at the noisy soldiers.
Most of the people here were soldiers from his first squadron, so it was no wonder that Squadron Leader Monte didn't look good.
Hearing the commander's reprimand, and the presence of the angry Baron Kaidozi, the soldiers stopped their restless hearts, but everyone couldn't hide their excitement that Locke was still alive.
Squadron Leader Monte and Baron Kedozi walked unhurriedly towards the place where the soldiers had gathered, and the soldiers passing by unconsciously moved out of the way, "What the hell is going on?" Monte muttered in a low voice, he really couldn't understand what these young men were doing in the middle of the day, he had heard the words 'Locke', 'in the camp', 'still alive' in his ears on the way here, but he didn't make any associations.
Locke and Angelina in the crowd gradually appeared in front of Monte and Baron Kaidozi, Monte just wondered why two wild men had appeared in the camp, but when one of the 'wild men' raised his head to reveal his thinner face, Squadron Leader Monte seemed to have something stuffed in his throat, his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't say a word.
"Hello Lord Baron, Hello Uncle Monte, I'm back!" Locke greeted Monte and Baron Kedozi as he walked by.
Baron Kedozi ignored Locke, but stared at the other stranger who was being held by Locke's hand, unnoticed by everyone.
Today's barracks is very lively, as if there is a New Year's atmosphere, every soldier's face is more or less filled with a little joy, the cook of the logistics department is under the instruction of the baron, in the barracks set up a flowing water banquet, except for no wine, it is completely in the New Year's posture.
In the central tent of the barracks, Squadron Leader Joshak, Squadron Leader Karl, Locke, Hans, Kane, and several new squadron leaders gathered around a table, talking happily and loudly.
Locke was talking to Joshak and Carl about how he had spent the month, and Joshak and Karl told him about the events that had taken place in their camp during the month. Kane, Hans and others next to him also chimed in from time to time.
In addition to Kane and Hans are the new squadron leaders, there are three other new squadron leaders here, all of whom were promoted by the baron this month, although the soldiers in the barracks suffered heavy losses, but as long as the baron conducts another round of recruitment in the territory, he can still pull another batch of recruits, but the non-commissioned officers are not so easy to recruit, these new squadron leaders, including Kane and Hans, were discovered by the baron's discerning eyes because of two brushes.
Joshak was sent by the baron to lead the soldiers to take care of the affairs of the convoy during the day, and Karl was stationed in the town outside the barracks. Both of them were notified by the baron, and they rushed back.
A short time later, Baron Kaidozi and Young Master Sauron walked into the tent.
Baron Kaidozi, contrary to his usual serious and calm countenance, showed a friendly smile as soon as he entered the tent, greeting everyone in the tent.
Young Master Zoro's expression was rather embarrassed, he had already received the news that Locke would return to the camp at noon, but he had not seen Locke until now because he had a pimple in his heart.
Will Knight and Squadron Leader Monte didn't come, except for a few new squadron leaders who looked puzzled, the rest of the people were not surprised, and they generally knew what the reason was.
Angelina is not by Locke's side at this time, she is now closely protected by a high-level knight squire-level powerhouse in the baron's central camp, and there is a squadron of cavalry on standby.
As for the Captain of the Monte Squadron, he was sent by the Baron to deliver a letter to the military headquarters on the front line, along with the Baron's old butler, who needed the news from the two low-ranking knight attendants, what else could it be.
Dinner went on happily, and everyone expressed their heartfelt joy and pleasure at Locke's return, and the losses of Camp Kaidozi were so heavy that everyone did not want to lose another brother and comrade-in-arms.
After dinner, Baron Kaidozi and Locke had a private conversation for a while, and Locke was flattered by the kindness of the baron's attitude, and when had the Baron, who had always been mysterious, majestic, and unashamed in his eyes, spoken to him so casually.
The content of the conversation was nothing more than asking Locke to keep the deeds of Angelina he brought back, as well as an affirmation of Locke's merits.
Angelina's identity, after Locke saw Baron Kaidozi at noon, he immediately informed Baron Kaidozi covertly, in fact, he didn't need to tell him, how smart a person Baron Kaidozi was, and he had already guessed that it was not far from ten, after getting Locke's affirmative report, the baron really regarded Angelina as an ancestor, and what high-grade things in the barracks, Baron Kaidozi sent them to the camp where Angelina lived, and even sent his most elite cavalry squadron to surround the camp where Angelina lived.
In addition to offering Angelina like a god, Baron Kaidozi is also very kind to Locke. The big men in the barracks didn't notice, but the observant Baron Kaidozi didn't ignore the fact that Locke had been holding Angelina's hand. Coupled with the intimacy shown by the two of them, Baron Kaidozi still doesn't know what kind of trick there is.
Although it is possible for a commoner boy to fall in the most honorable woman in the kingdom of Faustin, this is a very absurd thing, and a nobleman with brains will never believe that there will be any good results between these two people. But Baron Kaidozi is not an ordinary person, he will not underestimate anyone, for this civilian boy from his territory, but also raised by him, Baron Kaidozi should give an appropriate olive branch, it must be right.
