Chapter 3 The Green Palm Tavern
By four o'clock in the afternoon, most of the people had woken up, and Locke got up and began to greet his men. "Let's go and drink outside the camp! I haven't even fallen asleep in the heat!" Locke complained.
"Hooray, Boss!" Locke's team members were excited to enjoy free drinks right away. On this hot day, only chilled ale can soothe the hot hearts of these big-headed soldiers.
"Kane, you take the brothers to the Green Palm Tavern, have a glass of ale each, and then book me a private room, and tell the proprietress that I will pay the account, and Hans, you and I will go to Squadron Leader Joshak. Locke commanded.
"Okay, boss". The two replied.
Locke took Hans to Uncle Joshak's tent, "Uncle Joshak, let's go drink!" As soon as he entered the tent, Locke shouted at Uncle Joshak, who seemed to have just woken up.
"Got it, you kid have a low voice, my head is shaking from you. Uncle Yoshak quipped.
"Uncle, let's go, I've already arranged for someone to book a private room at the Green Palm Tavern in Giza Town outside the camp. Locke said.
"Well, let's go. Uncle Joshak put on civilian clothes and set off with Locke. "This is Hans, the boy has grown a lot. "Uncle Joshak also had a little impression of this young man from the same town.
"Yes, uncle, I'm very satisfied with my body now, and it's no problem to beat three Charlotte barbarians. Hans said.
"It's still this guy who can eat to be so strong, he can eat my two meals in one meal. Locke laughed.
"A soldier just wants to be able to eat! Look at how much my uncle and I eat at a meal. Although your kid is in good health, he still loses a little weight. β
Uncle Joshak wasn't very happy with Locke's size. Locke is now 1.76 meters tall, in fact, this is a little taller than most soldiers, he has a very well-proportioned physique, weighing 150 pounds, compared to Uncle Yoshak's height of 1.9 meters, the weight of almost 300 pounds is really nothing. Even Hans has a height of one meter eight and a weight of more than two hundred.
A group of three people walked outside the camp with a smile and a smile.
The town of Giza outside the camp is the territory of the former Charlotte Kingdom, after the Forstein Kingdom stormed the Filmer Gorge two months ago, the Charlotte Kingdom has no major natural danger and resistance force, and the three major legions attacked the depths of the hinterland of the Charlotte Kingdom in three ways, pointing directly at the Charlotte capital Otis City, and crushed all the way to this day. The Eagle Legion was outflanked and attacked from the south, because the resistance along the way was sporadic resistance, so the corps commander decided to spread out the team, and the four infantry regiments of 20,000 people, with an average of 500 people as a battalion to participate in the attack at the village and town level, for the attack on cities or large territories and then reintegrated into the form of corps, a corps of 5,000 people, and the corps headquarters only left a total of 10,000 cavalry regiments and logistics corps to guard the military headquarters.
The town of Giza is a town in the southern part of the kingdom of Charlot. The town had just experienced the baptism of war, and walking on the roadside, burnt houses and swarthy beggars could be seen everywhere. These people peeked down at Locke with frightened and panicked eyes, and the standard civilian clothes of the Faustin Kingdom army revealed Locke's identity. War always destroys something, and two weeks ago Locke's battalion captured it, and the lessons of blood and fire made the remaining inhabitants of this town accept these strange comers.
The owner of the Green Palm Tavern is a wonderful man, it is said that he betrayed his homeland before the army of the Kingdom of Faustin arrived, and by betraying the town's defense forces and capturing the mayor of the town with his own hands, the owner of the Green Palm Tavern succeeded in obtaining an olive branch from Baron Kaidozi, the de facto controller of Locke's camp, after giving a large sum of money. The Green Palm Tavern is probably the only property in the town that is still in business, and it serves soldiers in the barracks.
As for why so many soldiers are willing to drink outside the camp, one is that there are very few high-level people in the barracks here, and the highest level of squad leaders drinks here, where these big-headed soldiers can talk freely, drink and brag at will; second, the cost here is very low, because as an occupied area, the original set of currency of the Charlotte Kingdom is almost useless, and Dele is now hard currency, and a large glass of ale only costs one copper Dele, which is half cheaper than the camp, and there are some other part-time jobs here. Due to the war, many women whose families are poor and can't open the pot come here to earn extra money. Some of them were voluntary, some were forced, but no one cared about them before the laws of the war zone were established. Because the price is cheap and fresher than the women in the quartermaster camp, no matter how strict the military discipline is, it can't control the hearts of this group of hot soldiers, and as this hidden business of the Green Palm Tavern has a tendency to become bigger and bigger, the higher-ups also turn a blind eye. In fact, this is a common thing in the occupied areas, the low-level civilians of the Charlot Kingdom, this year because of the war in the homeland, how many can they farm, what do they eat, if they don't farm, they can only sell blood and meatγγγγγγ
Locke and his party came to the Green Palm Tavern, and as soon as they entered the door, a heavy smell of sweat and noise came to their faces, and it seemed that many people had already come to patronize it. Sure enough, after seeing a lot of familiar faces, Locke and the others all smiled at each other and nodded to each other, Uncle Yoshak was even more popular, after all, there were many boys from his squadron here, as one of the four real power squadron leaders of their battalion, Uncle Yoshak was also considered a high-level one, and many people came forward to greet him. Uncle Yoshak only nodded slightly.
"Chief, here!" a shout came, and sure enough, Kane and his gang had occupied a few tables in the corner of the tavern, looking at the large glass of ale on their table, which seemed to be waiting for Locke.
Uncle Joshak was still socializing with the people around him, and Locke led Hans to the table of their team. "Drink first, I still have something to discuss with Squadron Leader Joshak, Kane, go get Hans a drink too. Locke instructed the team.
"Alright, sir. Kane nodded, handing Locke a key to the upstairs private room.
"Hans, you and the brethren are drinking, and I'm going to consult with Uncle Joshak. Locke said to Hans again.
"Well, there you go. Hans nodded, seeing that Kane had already brought him a large glass of ice rod ale at the front desk not far away, Hans smiled and showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, this guy is good for this.
"Brothers, drink first, and I'll come down later. With that, Locke walked over to Uncle Joshak.
"Go ahead, sir. "Well, sir. "Chief, we'll wait for you. βγγγγγγ The team members all said.
"Uncle, let's go up. Locke said to Uncle Joshak. Uncle Joshak was still greeting the soldiers who greeted him, and when he heard this, he nodded to Locke and said to the people around him, "I have something to do, boys, let's drink." "Yes, Captain. "Captain, goodbye. "Captain, come down and have a drink with us." β
The surrounding soldiers were not without eyes, and they all nodded their heads. Locke's use of the word 'uncle' here to refer to Squadron Leader Yoshak is not unintentional, which shows his unusual relationship with Squadron Leader. Battles in the barracks are also ubiquitous, and a small title also reflects Locke's good backstage. Let those who are interested listen to it, and Locke's influence has been invisibly improved a lot. Besides, what to talk about with the squadron leader during this time period, people who have reached a certain level can roughly guess that there are several soldiers around here whose expressions have changed slightly.
Locke and Uncle Joshak went upstairs from the corner of the front desk, nodding to the tavern lady at the front desk. This is a woman with red wavy hair and still charming, named Xia Qian. After all, when you drink and talk about things in other people's houses, you have to meet with the host's family. Xia Qian shook her eyes and said she knew. This charming goblin, Locke thought to himself.
Upstairs there were five or six private rooms in a row, and Locke took the key to find their private room and opened the door. The room is not big, less than 20 square meters, the room has a window, through which you can see the verdant mountains in the distance, there is a table by the window, a sofa on each side of the table, a screen at the door that is not delicate but more eye-catching, there is a small hanger next to it, there are two glasses on the table, two bottles of ale, glass bottles, and oak corks. The overall layout of the room makes people feel very comfortable, Locke has been here once, and Locke, who has never been elegant, feels that the wine here is very classy, so he is very impressed. This is a woman who can do business, Locke said to the proprietress of the proprietress .
