Back in the yard in the afternoon, Xia Qian excitedly went to Rafite to bring her earrings. Earrings have always been the right and symbol of the Charlotte nobility, and commoners have no opportunity or right to wear earrings with pierced ears. But now that the Charlotte country is almost gone, who cares?

Grace has always had an aristocratic aura, Xia Qian, who is usually pressed, doesn't dare to talk to her, and Christine always eats Locke's "tofu", so the relationship between Xia Qian and Raffi is the best among them. After Raffi retrieved her bracelet for Locke, she became less hostile to Locke, and of course gradually developed a friendship with Xia Qian of the same country.

Raffi had a complicated look on her face when she saw the earrings that Mademoiselle had pawned for her appear in front of her eyes. But she didn't say anything, she just put it on Xia Qian seriously. "It might hurt a little, you hold back. Raffi said.

"Don't worry. Xia Qian waved her hand, ignoring the pain of the ear piercing.

At dinner, several people's eyes stayed on Xia Qian. "How's that, it's pretty, isn't it?" Xia Qian happily danced her wrist, revealing the silver bracelet, and showing off her new earrings with her hands and ears.

"That's my aunt......" Christine stared at for a long time, finally recognized, and opened her mouth to say.

Grace patted Christine on the head, interrupting what she was about to say, and commented, "Not bad, indeed. ”

was praised by Grace, Xia Qian was very proud, so she stuck to Locke next to her even more, and pillowed her head on Locke's shoulder. When Christine saw it, she was immediately unconvinced and joined the battlefield of Slimlock, forgetting the facts she wanted to reveal before.

At this meal, Locke sat one in his arms, leaning on the left one, and could only eat with his free right hand. The two of them, who have to make cameos from time to time, are really painful and happy.

Grace pretended to ask inadvertently about the origin of the earrings, and Locke said that it was given to him by a second-class dealer. Grace looked like that.

After dinner, it was completely dark. Several people went back to their respective rooms, and Locke didn't go out tonight, and he entered the room with Xia Qian early. In this place, there is no entertainment, and Locke's daily happy hour is the evening, which can be ...... Hey.

Grace and the others have been sleeping badly these days, because every night there are hyperactive screams and dull crashing sounds coming from next door. Tonight, in order to repay Locke's care and thoughtfulness, Xia Qian tried her best to serve Locke. A fantastic evening.

Two days later, after the baron had held several meetings with several squadron leaders and clarified the mission objectives, the troops were about to be mobilized again. This time they were to arrive at Connell City, where the corps headquarters was located, within a week, and in half a month their 2nd Infantry Regiment was to join the whole regiment in front of Entre City.

Entre City is the second largest city of Charlot after the royal capital of Otis City, it is said that the city walls are more than 20 meters high, and the only remaining elite of the Charlottes are stationed. The reason why Faustin's army suffered so little resistance after breaking through the Filmore Grand Canyon that it could be reduced to zero was because Charlot gathered the remaining professional soldiers in Entlecheng, Ellis City, and the royal capital Otis City to make a final struggle.

There were 30,000 men in the entire Eagle Legion, six corps, including four infantry regiments, one cavalry regiment, and one logistics corps. Locke didn't dare to take it lightly.

After the capture of the city of France, Baron Kaidozi left a part of the soldiers and convoys and continued to drive, although it was a private army, but nominally belonged to the Eagle Legion, and his father-in-law was still the deputy commander of the Eagle Legion, and this time he had to go to war.

Since they converged first, Baron Kaidozi and Baron Kashr went together.

Locke was still riding a war horse, walking in the center of the team, and Xia Qian, Grace and others were placed by him in the transport team at the back of the team. He was not very worried about leaving Xia Qian in the city of Frans, after this kind of troops left, there were not a few riots in the city that he had occupied, and he didn't want to gamble.

As for Grace, well, his possessions, it's better to carry them with you. Grace is different from Xia Qian, if Xia Qian's beauty is still acceptable, Grace's nobility and stunning will definitely cause an uproar. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Grace and the others consciously put on a veil. The people in the transport team also knew that this was Locke's woman, and they all took care of it, but sometimes they sneered, "Other squadron leaders have two women at most, this guy is good, four at once, and children!"

When the news reached the ears of other squadron leaders, they just laughed and scolded, "It's better to be young." ”

There was no danger on the march, and there was now little resistance anywhere else in the Charr Road, except for a fortified city like the city of Frans, and there were only a few bandits. The bandits could only bully and bully their own people, and in the face of Faustin's regular army, they didn't dare to show their heads at all.

"Why aren't there any bad guys?" asked Christine, her aunt, Grace. Their journey from the royal capital to the city of France was not so peaceful, and it would have been difficult for them to move an inch if it were not for the protection of their families.

"For wolves can only bully sheep, and when they meet a lion, they must run away. Grace said.

Christine nodded in understanding.

Locke also brought the second-way dealer Kirby with him this time, and sent him to the logistics office to do chores with Xia Qian's brother. Kirby is a talented person, and he can recognize many precious items, and many things captured by Locke's squadron along the way are in his hands.

And he also has good connections, their team of men and horses will pass through several small towns and two small towns before joining up with the corps headquarters, all of which are the kind of small towns that have little resistance, according to the meaning of the two barons, they will directly crush the past, and the two barons in the battle of Frans City are full of oil, and they can't look down on that little thing anymore.

The baron can't take a fancy to it, but Locke and the other squadron leaders are not, Locke has privately discussed with Uncle Joshak to do a partnership.

Kirby is a good man, and without Locke's request, he consciously stood up and expressed his willingness to take them to raid the homes of his former colleagues.

In the war years, smugglers and second-hand dealers were indeed a group of well-kept guys. According to him, there were several gangs in those towns, about the same size as the men and horses he had been.

Locke promised Kirby that he would let him go as long as he copied enough 100 gold coins. 100 gold coins, enough for about 50 kindlers, which is not a small amount of money.

Locke's 200 silver Dele of which 50 silver Dele asked the caravan to send back to his hometown, although there were only parents and sisters at home, and it was estimated that he would not need so much money, but sending money home was the habit of every soldier who went out to fight.

The rest of the money Locke was handed over to Xia Qian to take care of, Xia Qian had taken care of the tavern before and had a good mind, and she planned to participate in the transport team in the name of Locke. 150 Silver Dele is not worth mentioning in the eyes of several caravan stewards, but since he is a squadron leader, no matter how little money he has, he has to give a penny of face.

This is Xia Qian's shrewdness, just with this hand, Locke will be able to have dozens or even hundreds of silver Dele's income after every war in the future. And it will also add value.

Along the way, they passed through two small towns and three small towns, and Baron Kaidozi and Baron Kashr arrived at the rendezvous on time. Cavalry squadrons were chosen to take the lead in crushing, and several towns were breached without the slightest ability to resist.

However, although the breach was not carried into the city, it only broke up Charlotte's resistance and opened a way for the subsequent convoys and other troops.

This gave Locke an opportunity, and it was at this time that Locke and Uncle Joshak each took fifty men to raid a small town. Although it was just an ordinary town, there were probably a few hundred people in the whole town, enough for Locke and them to eat.

Not only did Locke and the others do it, but several squadron leaders of the other squadrons couldn't bear the loneliness, and each pulled people to knock on a small town. Baron Kaidozi only turned a blind eye to this. The Baron knows that a good leader must learn to delegate authority and be considerate of his subordinates.

Although what the squadron leader did might affect his battle plan, the result was good. Of course, if something happens, those who should bear the blame still have to bear it, and clear rewards and punishments are the way for the troops to gain a foothold.

Later even the troops of the Baron Kashr could not bear it anymore, and several squadron leaders cleared the last town.

Locke and the more than 100 of them, it is enough to eat one town, and the rest must be left to others, otherwise they will be hated. This was taught to him by Uncle Joshak.

As for why they didn't choose the city, unless they went up with all their strength and took a lot of risks, it would be impossible to take the city with high walls, even if the regular forces had already been broken up by them.

However, this did not prevent Locke from making a fortune, and the second-way dealer Kirby brought Locke a lot of surprises.
