Chapter 91 The Present Situation
Early in the morning of the second day, Locke got up early and went to the training camp, and he had just been promoted to a low-level squire, and he still needed enough exercise and consolidation.
On the other hand, it is to avoid Grace. Although last night, this beautiful woman was taken by him with a blood, but this kind of transactional love, Locke hated. The so-called out of sight is pure, and Locke intends to use cultivation to calm his restless heart.
Although it was early in the morning, there were not a few soldiers in the barracks who had already gotten up. Most of them started a day of training under the leadership of their own team leaders. Locke has always felt that the reason why they can beat the Charlottes is not unrelated to their daily training.
Ten more drops of sweat during training and one less drop of blood on the battlefield. Who said this, Locke forgot, but always felt that it made sense.
Walking to the training camp and saying hello to the two soldiers on duty outside the camp gate, Locke entered.
Training camp was still empty, but Locke knew it wouldn't be empty for long. Hans and the others will soon be awarded vindictiveness, and Locke has privately spoken to Hans and will mention him something.
Locke's promotion to squadron leader has only been half a year, and he is not qualified to mention others, but he is now a low-level squire, and there are a number of masters in the battalion, which is enough to mention Hans, who has just started.
Locke really doesn't know much, but some tips when Dou Qi runs, the function of Dou Qi, these things that Locke has figured out by himself, are still more practical.
Cultivation is boring, and there is no routine exercise today, but directly sitting cross-legged on the ground and running the fighting spirit. The fighting spirit that skyrocketed yesterday because of taking 'Johnson's potion' was all over Locke's body at this time, which was the reason why he couldn't suppress his momentum.
He had to gather all these scattered fighting spirits together and use them for himself, just like Squadron Leader Monte, who was as quiet as a rabbit. Before, the leader of the Monte squadron, with a shield, resisted the attack of the city of Frans and forced his way to the city gate, Locke was very envious.
The current Locke can't do it, because he can't do the perfect control of the fighting spirit when he has just advanced, if he is allowed to do the same, most of the fighting spirit will not run smoothly, and if he is not careful, he will be crushed into a meatloaf by the rolling stones that fell from the city gate.
Two hours of cultivation allowed Locke to sort out his fighting spirit, but that's all. It will take another week for Locke to fully adapt to this stage.
There is enough time, and the news circulating in the camp now is that Prince Kensel has decided to use a knife on Otis City after the New Year, first, the current snow from time to time hinders the siege, and the climate will warm up after the New Year, and the heavy snowfall will be much less.
The second is to raise troops, the Eagle Legion and the Lion Legion, which have not been without casualties in the past few months, and the major corps of the two legions have different losses.
It is said that the Heroic Wind Legion will also participate in the war, but of course this is grapevine. The Heroic Wind Legion, which launched many massacres and thieves in the northern province of Charlot, is notorious among the surrounding countries, and Faustin chooses to let this legion participate in the war, at least let the remnants of the Charlotte army guarding the city of Otis resist to the death.
What the top level decides, Locke can't control, what he has to do now is to work hard to improve his strength, protect himself and survive in this final war between the two countries. In the battlefield of hundreds of thousands of people, even if Locke is a low-level knight squire, he is just a larger ant
Of course, Locke didn't forget to promise Grace, Locke can roughly guess the identity of this woman, most of them are members of a noble family in Charlotte, and Grace's usual temperament is similar to Baron Kaidozi. Even more noble than Baron Kaidozi.
If Locke was just a squad leader a few months ago, it is estimated that Grace would have been directly arrested and handed over to Baron Kaidozi, and everyone with a noble title in Charlotte could exchange for different amounts of wealth in the Faustin military.
But Grace is a woman after all, and she has two other women, especially Christine, who is only 12 years old and has a lot of blood on her hands, and rarely does anything to women, especially beautiful women.
Hey, I wanted to hide the gold house, but I didn't expect such a lot of things. Locke patted his head, annoyed.
"Why did you say yes to her last night?" muttered Locke.
It turned out that when he was an entry-level squire, he was able to govern three women well, and Raffi, who was also an entry-level squire, was not Locke's opponent at all, he could rely on his personal strength and nearly a hundred soldiers under his command to make Grace, a woman, obedient, and now that the low-level squire is gone, shouldn't it be even stronger.
Locke could only blame himself for not being able to control his lower body, and he would promise her to help her enter the city, although he didn't know what this woman was going to do when she entered the city. Locke, who has always been very stable and has a relatively raw personality, rarely does such a thankless job.
To say that Grace was going into the city to give information to the Charlottes, Locke would never believe it. More than 70,000 people, surrounding a city with a garrison strength of maybe less than 20,000 or 30,000, even if their military god Marquis Campbell is resurrected, there is no way.
Of course, Locke wouldn't take any chances. He wouldn't send Grace in front of tens of thousands of people, which was tantamount to treason, and what was waiting for him was nothing but burning at the stake and hanging, and Locke really couldn't think of any results.
Locke's idea was to wait for the siege to begin, and to take advantage of the chaos to send Grace in, or wait for the gates to be breached, and then send her in. At this time, Grace just had something unfavorable to Faustin and died. It just so happened that Locke could still follow Grace, and he wanted to see what this woman had to do in the city, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice her chastity.
When the city is broken, send Grace into the city. Only a veteran like Locke can think of such a damaging method. Indeed, this is very much in line with Grace's request, but if the city is broken, he doesn't need to send it, and Grace may go in by herself, so what else do you want him to do.
Why not wait for the fall of Charlotte before sending Grace in, so that Locke would not take any risks. Ahem, although Locke's skin is thick, it is not like this. Anyway, Grace is also committed to him, and Locke needs to be responsible for Grace.
But even if the siege begins, things are not so easy to do, Locke needs to plan carefully, it just so happens that Will Knight owes him three favors, maybe he can use it.
Because he didn't have a high-intensity workout, Locke, who had just cultivated a fighting spirit, didn't come out of the training ground sweating like before, which surprised the two soldiers guarding the gate of the training ground. In the past, their Rock Squadron Leader was not tired and sweating profusely when he came out.
Ordinary soldiers like them have great admiration for Locke, who is also from a civilian background, and usually looks at Locke's training so hard, and the feeling is that it is no wonder that people can mix so well, even if the training is so hard.
Locke didn't know what the two soldiers were thinking, and he was troubled by Grace's matter, how could Locke have the heart to train, and he could practice with patience and vindictiveness, which could be regarded as Locke's concentration was amazing.
Back in his tent, Grace was gone, replaced by Xia Qian.
Locke already knew last night that Xia Qian was pulled by the three Grace girls to the place where they lived, and as soon as the little girl Christine was coquettish, Xia Qian was pestered and did not come back. Grace said that she had come to Locke to inform Locke that Xia Qian was not coming back, but Grace, who had not returned all night, how could Xia Qian not guess what Grace and the others had left her there for.
Xia Qian, who was a little bitter in her heart, gently asked if Locke was tired from training and if she wanted to drink some water. After that, he had to find a kettle to pour water for Locke.
It's better for Xia Qian, she won't have any crooked thoughts, and she treats Locke wholeheartedly. stepped forward to hug Xia Qian, and Locke whispered, "No need." ”
Xia Qian, who was hugged by Locke, felt this warm chest, and there was endless nostalgia in her heart. She knew that she was much older than Locke, and she was not as beautiful as Grace, so she was even more reluctant to Locke. She was also prepared for Locke to have several women, and it was normal for a squadron leader like Locke to have multiple wives after the war.
To say that the most casualties in the war are women, children, the elderly, and children, this is nonsense.
As far as the war between Faustin and Charlotte is concerned, Faustin's side is still very restrained, although it fights in Charlotte itself, it really does not treat the ordinary civilians of Charlotte, especially the elderly and children. Faustins are also people, not animals. They don't move their knives at the weak.
If you want to say that the most people die, there is no doubt that it is men. In this war between the two countries, Faustin lost 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers alone, and the Charlottes were even more, estimated to be close to 100,000, you know, the population of both countries is only close to 2 million.
Most of the soldiers who died were young men, and after the war, it was most obvious that there were more women than men of appropriate age, and when the time came, it would be ordinary men, and if they could afford to raise them, they might have more than two wives. Not to mention, a big man like Locke who has a position above the squadron leader.
Locke didn't think about things that far ahead, this was all Xia Qian thinking too much. Among the three women who are currently entangled with Locke, Locke has the deepest feelings for Xia Qian and Angelina, one followed him early, the other has nearly two months of sleeping and supporting each other, and Grace, who has been entangled with Locke all night, is the least emotional.
Xia Qian doesn't have to worry at all, Locke will like the new and hate the old.
Twenty days before the New Year, Baron Kaidozi's newly recruited soldiers from the realm will arrive one after another, in addition to a squadron of mercenaries.
Although there were not many soldiers recruited in the territory this time, only sixty or seventy, this also made it difficult for the four towns in the territory to be pieced together.
Kaidozi is just a small barony, and in the past four years, there have been nearly 800 soldiers in Kaidozi, who has only a few thousand people, and the ratio of population to soldiers has reached 5:1, and the war potential of Kaidozi has been exhausted.
Fortunately, the war is coming to an end, and just from the barony led by Kaidozi, it can reflect the overall status quo of the Faustan Kingdom, although the four major legions are still alive and well, and even have good combat strength, they have also reached the end of the crossbow.
