Feeling the dagger in his boots, the roll wrapped around the handle, the linen that had been soaked in blood for years, Locke seemed to see his sister Leah smiling at this mischievous brother in front of him.

Knowing that everything was fine at home, Locke's mood was also a lot lighter. The communication with Henry and Bruce was also quite harmonious, during which Locke seemed to casually reveal his promotion to a low-level squire, which ushered in a lot of compliments and admiration from the two.

Locke also learned from the two of them that almost all of the caravans sent out by the baron before have been recalled, and it is not difficult for Locke, who knows the general situation in the camp, to guess that Baron Kaidozi, who has regained his strength and merits, has given up his previous plan to focus on economic development and is ready to reap the benefits in the final battle with Charlotte.

After saying goodbye to Henry, Locke temporarily canceled his plans to find Xia Qian. Because he learned from Henry that Grace, Raffi and Christine were also coming. Locke planned to go to them first, although Locke's relationship with these three women has been lukewarm, but they still helped Xia Qian through the difficulties when Locke was killed.

Walking to the carriage somewhere in the convoy, Locke saw the three Graces from a distance. The maid Rafite, dressed in nondescript leather armor, reprimanded an unkempt man dressed in Charlotte dress by the carriage, while Christine sat in the carriage, shaking her legs and looking at the strange sights around her.

As for Grace, who Locke has always coveted for beauty, she stood very ladylike by the carriage, standing there quietly, the sun was setting, the brilliant sunshine, the graceful noblewoman, and the colorful clouds constituted a beautiful picture, and Locke did not even dare to break this beautiful painting.

Just as Locke was watching Grace at sunset, Christine, who was idly watching around, first spotted Locke not far away, and with a happy face, she jumped out of the carriage and ran towards Locke.

Christine ran close and jumped directly into Locke's arms, Christine because of the twists and turns and the fatigue of traveling, the little girl was much thinner than girls of the same age, and Locke, who was much stronger after being promoted to a low-level squire, easily picked up Christine.

Even seeing the little girl running over so excitedly, Locke also threw Christine into the sky a few times, and Christine was lifted to the sky by Locke without being afraid at all, but kept "giggling" and laughing.

"Do you miss your brother?" Locke has always regarded Christine as his sister, and he had asked the little girl to call him brother in Frans City.

"I think about it!" Christine did not have the shy and reserved character of a little girl, but replied to Locke with a big grin.

Locke and Christine's playfulness catches the attention of Grace and Rafi. This is Faustin's joint military camp, and there are many powerful people, so Rafi didn't even notice Locke's arrival.

Seeing Locke arrive, Raffi stopped scolding the man who kept nodding his head, and Grace looked at Locke calmly.

"What's going on?" asked Raffi. He didn't dare to look at Grace until now, because of this woman's mature and calm eyes, Locke was always uncomfortable looking at her, and in front of Grace, Locke could only use his strength and muscles to subdue this woman. It's like forcibly taking them away in France.

"This guy ordered the wrong shipment!" Rafi pointed to the man next to him.

Looking at the man's dirty clothes and a strong accent from the remote place of Charlotte, it was not difficult for Locke to guess that this should be the group of Charlotte refugees that Xia Qian had subdued. Xia Qian gathered a large number of refugees from the town of Giza and brought them to trade with Baron Kaidozi's caravan, much to the admiration of Henry, a shrewd merchant.

"Forget it if it's not a big deal, Henry will give me this face!" said Locke to Raffi, not that he pitied the unkempt leader of the Charlotte refugees, but that Locke didn't want to waste his time on these little things.

Raffi didn't expect Locke to say that, so he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in agreement. Grace glanced at Locke with a deep meaning.

The leader of the Charlotte refugees, who couldn't even lift his head after being reprimanded by Rafite, looked at Locke gratefully. He was a refugee who had fled from the southeastern border of Charlotte, and because of the forced taxes of the lords in his territory and the shadow of war, they had to flee their homeland because they did not harvest enough food during the autumn harvest.

When he fled to the town of Giza, he was just in time for Xia Qian to recruit people to work as coolies, although he only had a full meal, but this group of Charlotte refugees, who had nothing but a bad life, had no more choice. This unkempt middle-aged man was given a certain amount of management authority by Xia Qian because he was honest and responsible.

It was also his bad luck that the wheat that had been counted well in the town of Giza before was a little less when it was transported to the combined military camp. I don't know which guy who lacks virtue secretly hid a part, in the past, this kind of private behavior, whether it was Xia Qian or Henry and other businessmen, they all turned a blind eye.

Because a little bit of food is really not worth a few dollars, but this time it is different. The countless Faustan soldiers guarding outside this huge barracks alone made these Charlottes weak in fear, and the middle-aged man was really afraid that Raffi would hand him over to the Faustinians because of his mistake.

Although Faustin was the one who invaded the Charlot, the Charlots, who had been beaten down, feared more than hated the Faustin soldiers.

Of course, Raffi would not hand over this middle-aged man to the Faustin soldiers, as a member of the Charlottes, Raffi was extremely dissatisfied with the matter of helping the caravan of Faustin's army, if it wasn't for Grace forcibly ordering Raffi to help Shassy, Raffi would not care so much.

In fact, Raffi has no affection for Faustin other than Locke. In particular, the merchant Henry, the vampire, had planned to pay the Charlot refugees for half a day. If it weren't for Xia Qian standing up against it at the right time, which made Henry change his mind and replace it with a piece of black bread, Raffi didn't dare to guarantee that he would not be able to help but cut down this Faustan man.

After sending away the Charlotte refugee, Locke calmed down and took a good look at Grace and the girls. Christine hasn't seen her for almost two months, and her height hasn't changed much, but she has lost a lot of weight, and Locke plans to find Corey, the cook in the logistics department, to make up for Christine.

Rafi has a heroic taste, wearing strange leather armor, although she does not hold a long sword, but just standing there, there is a good temperament. The reason for not giving Raffi weapons was because she was a Charlotte after all, and Henry the merchant didn't want such an unstable factor in his caravan.

As for Grace, she was still wearing the same robe that Locke had when he first met her, with a wide hood that covered Grace's hair and face, but could not hide the noble temperament that emanated from her body.

Speaking of temperament, among the women Locke has seen, only Angelina can surpass her, but Angelina has a little more youthfulness, and Grace is full of maturity and intellectuality, so Locke, who has always prided himself as a big boss, is very uncomfortable.

"Are you all right?" Locke asked casually, seeing that he couldn't find a topic.

Raffi didn't speak, she has always had a relatively low sense of presence among the three girls, and Locke also learned from the usual conversations that she was like a maid. Christine was still hanging her hands around Locke's neck at this time, playing happily.

Grace took Locke's words: "Not bad. ”

"Where's Aunt Xia Qian?" At this time, Christine, who was hanging on Locke's body, suddenly asked, she had a very good relationship with Xia Qian in the past two months.

Because of the lack of care from her father and mother since she was a child, Christine has always been very close to her aunt Grace, and later met Xia Qian, Xia Qian, a mature woman, likes little Christine very much, and even sleeps at night with Christine kissing and sleeping, Xia Qian gave Christine a kind of maternal love that is different from her aunt Grace's care.

"Aunt Xia Qian is on the other side, let's go! I'll take you to her!" Locke maintained the state of the little girl hanging on his body, and led the three of them towards the place where Xia Qian lived.

Halfway down the road, when there was a distance with fewer people, Grace grabbed Locke.

"What's the matter?" Locke had always been curious about this mysterious and rational woman.

After thinking about it for a long time, Grace finally raised her head, looked at Locke, and said, "I hope you can find a way to take me into Otis City." ”

At this time, whether it was Christine hanging from her shoulder or Raffi following next to her, they all looked at Locke expectantly. It seems that all three of them have thought it out beforehand.

Locke was surprised by Grace's request and without giving it much thought, Locke rejected Grace. "Aside from whether I'm capable or not, why would I do this?" Locke questioned Grace.

Locke has always had a feeling of being at home with the three daughters of Grace, except for the little girl Christine who is closer to Locke, Rafi and Grace have only spoken to Locke since they met in Frans City. Locke wouldn't take such a big risk just because they were helping Xia Qian.

"I can promise to be your woman!" Grace said in such surprise that even Raffi and Christine were surprised, it seemed that they had not negotiated this condition.

"If you don't agree, you'll be my woman!" Locke said brutally, no matter what Grace used to be, now that she is in Locke's hands, she can't run.

"All you can get is one of my corpses. Grace sneered, she seemed to be more than broken.

"Didn't you always want me?" Grace pressed in, looking at Locke with burning eyes. "As long as you promise me, I will be your woman willingly. ”

Locke was a little dizzy by this sudden incident, but there was one thing he was still awake about, and it was impossible to grant this request.

"I don't have the ability to do this kind of thing, it's useless for you to look for me!" Locke left a sentence directly, put down Christine on his body, and strode away.

Just like that, the entire barracks, with more than 70,000 Faustan troops, will be unable to pass through the siege of Otis City, unless Locke becomes a rat and burrows into the ground, don't think of any other way.

Locke estimated that as long as he dared to lead people close to the gates of Otis City, he would be shot into a sieve by the rain of arrows from Faustin's army behind him. Not to mention that Locke saved the princess, that is, he saved the king, and he believed that Prince Kensell would not hesitate to order the arrows to be released. Prince Kensel gave Locke the same feeling he had when he was an ordinary soldier and looked at Baron Kedozi. Locke admires this kind of person in his heart.

What's more, whether it is Prince Kensel or the Marquis of Mammon, they are very good to Locke, and the prince also gave Locke a promise of a nobleman, of course, Locke will not do anything treason because of Grace, a foreign woman. The identity of Grace's third daughter, Charlotte, Locke has never forgotten.
