Tomorrow the war will start Locke wiped his long sword boringly, although the notice has not yet come down, but the atmosphere in the camp has obviously changed a lot.

Every veteran can feel the dreary rain coming, which is the rhythm of the big war.

The New Year's party two days ago didn't feel so good for Locke, and he went to find out that the nobles he attended were all big names above the viscount. Lower-ranking nobles like Baron Kedozi and Knight Will are not invited.

Well, Locke went to sit in the corner and eat, and he didn't know any of the big people around him, and he didn't want to mess with any of them.

As for the reason, I don't know if it is the vulgarity of his behavior, and the commoner spirit in Locke's bones is incompatible with the atmosphere of this aristocratic party.

Their Corps Commander George also came to this party, and Locke originally wanted to go up to say hello, after all, this corps commander was not kind to himself, but Captain George came just to show his face, and left after saying a few words to a few big people.

embarrassed Locke, who had just seen the only acquaintance, according to Locke's guess, it should be that the big war was about to start, and Commander George, as the commander of the first corps, had to stay in the military department at all times to pay attention to the situation.

The facts are not much different from what Locke guessed. Not only Commander George, but also dozens of chief and deputy commanders of the Faustin military were like this, and they did not attend the dinner.

As for the other one that Locke knew, Viscount Melson, who gave him a windfall, this big man of amazing size and easy recognition, Locke did not meet.

Except for Princess Angelina who came over to stay with him for a while, the rest of the time, Locke was either eating or resting.

Well, there was also a time when it was seen as a monkey by other nobles.

Princess Angelina's arrival attracted the attention of a large number of other nobles, and everyone was very curious about this Locke who appeared here.

It was also from that day on, that everyone in the battalion, including the newly arrived recruits, knew that Locke was about to soar. None of the barons could participate in the play, and Locke actually went.

This made Locke have some troubles, and the gun shot the first bird, and Locke, who has always been low-key and steady, doesn't really want to be the first bird.

What's more, since 'eating' Grace, this woman's feeling for Locke has obviously changed a lot, and she is no longer cold and estranged before. Yesterday, I also came with Xia Qian to take care of Locke's life.

Because the war was about to start, Locke began to restrain his abstinence, and he didn't want to go to the battlefield and be a soft-footed shrimp. So Grace hasn't touched it since that day.

This woman full of nobility, Locke always had the urge to blaspheme.

Of course, he didn't forget what he promised Grace, Grace was very clever not to mention it, because she already knew Locke's character, and she would do her best to do it when she said it, and she believed that the man she was committed to would not let him down.

The long sword in his hand, after wiping it, flashed a weak bright yellow light, which was a proof that it was mixed with Ming yellow ore.

Locke liked this set of equipment more and more, he tried it yesterday, the long sword in his hand could easily penetrate two centimeters thick iron pieces, as for the armor, under the huge impact of a strong man like Hans, it had not been deformed.

At dinner in the baron's camp in the afternoon, the baron really put forward the order to launch an attack tomorrow, which was the order just issued by the military headquarters in the morning, and everyone was mentally prepared.

On the third day, their battalion's combat mission was to attack the west gate of Otis City together with the remaining three brigades of the 2nd Corps.

Maybe some people with bad brains will be curious that the military department will give them such a low-risk mission, and the moment the mission is announced, most of the squadron leaders who are eating in the camp tent will "brush" and turn their heads to look at Locke. Including Baron Kaidozi and Will Knight.

Sure enough, the baron finally added, "This seems to be an order given by Princess Angelina herself to George's corps." ”

Everyone looked at Locke with envy or strangeness. Locke has been looked at by this kind of look a lot in the past two days, and he may have been a little uncomfortable at first, but by now, he has long practiced and it doesn't matter. Still calmly drinking his own broth, ignoring the gazes of others.

This temperament, this calmness, makes Baron Kaidozi have the illusion that Locke is a big man who has been in a high position for a long time.

Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Since Locke came back, he has been in contact with those big people, although they are all sitting in the corner from afar, watching them chat, but invisibly, Locke has also learned a lot of behavior among nobles. This should also be what Angelina meant.

Angelina is a princess, if Locke wants to combine with her in the future, he must at least have the bearing of a nobleman and get rid of the rustic spirit of a commoner.

As for why Angelina was able to order their Second Corps to do such a thing, the reason Angelina gave it was to let the Second Corps protect the mage troops close to them at the beginning.

The magician troops led by Angelina were in the middle of the barracks, and the Locke brigade and the rest of the brigades were tasked with guarding the northwest corner of the magician troops for the first three days.

Everyone knows that the most tragic part of the war is the first few days, Angelina's order, which perfectly helped Locke and them miss this meat grinder moment.

Princess Angelina, who was crowned smart by her mentor and elders, did a good job of doing this kind of small things that indirectly benefited Locke.

In the early hours of the next morning, the entire Combine camp began to move, like a giant beast crawling on the ground, raising its head and showing its sharp fangs.

Baron Kaidozi gathered his troops early and led the forward garrison to the designated position. The mage troops have not yet arrived, and they need to gain a foothold first.

The troops of the nearby Baron Kashgar were not so lucky, and their task was particularly difficult, and it was said that they would participate in the siege in the afternoon. The siege on the first day was definitely not so simple, just by looking at the city guards set up on the city walls, you can know that the city of Odis, the last fortified city of Charlotte, is not so easy to fight.

If the combined military camp is a large crescent moon shape, under the mobilization of Faustin's army, soldiers are constantly approaching both sides, completely surrounding the city of Otis into an oval.

In the previous siege of Crescent, there were two corps of cavalry waiting on one side, but this time it was all infantry.

The cavalry was not good at attacking the city, so it was replaced by infantry, which shows that the Faustin military is planning to do it directly.

In the morning, Locke stuffed only two pieces of dough in his bosom and led the cavalry squadron forward with the battalion. Xia Qian and Grace and the others were taken care of by the merchant Henry. Of course, the promise to Grace was not forgotten, and Locke planned to think of a way when it was their turn to attack the city on the third day.

Grace and Xia Qian are staying in the place now, just behind the Eagle Legion, not far from the front line, and it will not be difficult to pick up Grace over.

Groups of soldiers marched neatly to the front.

Locke had participated in many major battles before, but this kind of large-scale siege warfare was rare, and it was only seen in the Raiders led by Peters at the very beginning of the war.

At that time, Locke, who was only a servant, was tasked with transporting supplies and carrying corpses every day.

The Faustin military is still very concerned about the recruits who have just joined the army, and will not throw them directly to the front line as cannon fodder.

At this time, when he came into contact with war again, and from a higher perspective, Locke discovered that war was actually an art.

Faustin's army commander, like an artist, uses each formation as if it were a splash of ink, just right in the corners of the picture.

Locke had only known how to fight under orders before, but when he suddenly calmed down and watched the movement of the rest of the troops, Locke seemed to have learned something.

The 100,000-strong Faustin army had just spent half a morning encircling the city of Otis.

In Faustin's tent, the Marquis of Mammon and his old partner, the Marquis of Sandru, are discussing the siege of the city.

"Which unit are you going to let go first?" asked the Marquis Sandru, dressed in military uniform.

Marquis Mammon still looked like a little old man in military uniform, he looked up at Marquis Sandru, and said, "Tossed by Angelina, I plan to let the Third Corps come out." ”

"Oh?" the Marquis of Sandru was obviously surprised by the Marquis Marmon's proposal, raised his left eye, and asked strangely, "Aren't you afraid that those nobles will come to make trouble?"

Marquis Mammon looked indifferent, "Let's make trouble, anyway, it's time to shuffle the cards when the war is over." ”

The Marquis Sandru was silent when he heard this.

The siege battle at the beginning was undoubtedly the most difficult and the most casualty, and what the two marquis discussed before was actually to let the second corps go up first, because the strength of the second corps was good, and there might be surprises in the siege process, and it was just a "godson", no matter how big the loss was, the two marquis were not distressed.

However, because Princess Angelina had been "messing around" with them some time ago and forcibly transferred one-third of the strength of the Second Corps, Marquis Mammon had to consider the Third Corps.

The overall strength of the Third Corps is almost the same as that of the Fourth Corps, but because of the nobility to which it belongs, it is much weaker than the Fourth Corps.

With this decision of the Marquis of Mammon, it can be predicted that the first batch of noble private troops sent to attack the city will definitely suffer heavy losses.

The siege was decided in the upper echelons long before the New Year, with the Eagle Legion, led by the Marquis of Mammon and the Marquis of Sandru, attacking the west and north gates of Otis City, and the Lion Legion, led by Prince Kensel, attacking the more heavily defended South and East gates.

Unlike outside the city of Otis, Faustin's army was mobilized in an orderly manner, and the city was already in chaos. It was the Charlotte defenders at the gates who were terrified to see the Faustin soldiers, several times their size, advancing towards them.

Moreover, the news of the imminent attack of Faustin's army somehow reached the ears of the ordinary residents of the city, and countless robbers and looting occurred, and there were even many arsons in the city. Ordinary citizens, who had been suppressed by death for a long time, became hysterical at the last moment of their lives.

This is also related to the terror of the Charlotte leadership, and in the eyes of the Charlotte civilians in Otis, the Forstein soldiers are symbols of demons and jackals, they are murderous and inhumane, and will slaughter all Charlottes. Among them, the massacre in Ellis City that occurred some time ago also added to the fear of the Charlottes for the Faustin soldiers.
