Chapter 122: The Way Home

"Hiss ~ Lu Lu ~ " waving a whip, Locke rode a war horse under his crotch and galloped on the dirt road in the mountains.

With him, there were nearly a hundred cavalrymen, led by Baron Kaidozi.

He and Knight Will were only half a position behind the baron, one on the left and the other on the right, and a group of cavalry 'ran and stamped', running rampant.

When he reached the first slope, Baron Kaidozi pulled the reins and stopped first, and the many cavalry behind him also stopped as if they were stationary.

"Where have we been?" asked Baron Kedozi, tilting his head.

Locke took out a parchment scroll from the inside of his armor, opened it and took a cursory look at it, then put it away before saying, "There's a town of 'Aimo' ahead, and it's still two days away from reaching Peters' Territory." ”

This map is Faustin's military map, and it is quite detailed. Locke didn't know many words, but he still knew a few place names.

"Good. Baron Kaidozi nodded his head in understanding, and casually pointed to a soldier and said, "You, go to the cavalry regiment in the back and report that everything is okay." ”

"Yes!" the soldier turned his horse's head and ran in the direction from which the others had come.

"Let's go on. Baron Kedozi kicked his horse's buttocks and led the cavalry squadron to continue its departure.

More than a week after leaving the combined barracks, Locke found that the troops transferred back to the kingdom consisted of two cavalry regiments of the Eagle Legion and the Lion Legion, as well as one infantry regiment under his command.

Not to mention the cavalry corps, the infantry corps turned out to be the most elite first corps of the two major corps.

This made Locke wonder if they were really just going back home.

This move almost redeployed the two major legions, the most elite troops, and attracted the attention of many people like Locke.

Of course, at this time, Locke could only choose to obey the orders of the higher-ups.

The cavalry squadron of their battalion now followed the cavalry regiment of the Eagle Legion, and the infantry squadron followed the 1st Corps.

Now the task of their squadron is to be the vanguard of the returning troops of the Eagle Legion, and they are ahead of the whole army.

Along the way, it is the territory of the occupied zone, and almost every inhabited town has the hospitality of the left-behind soldiers of Faustin, and the security and comfort are not too high.

Anyway, Locke feels like he's been touring the mountains and rivers for the past week.

I didn't pay much attention to the war before, but now when I look closely, I find that Charlotte still has a lot of beautiful scenery that is not much worse than that of Faustin.

In the evening, the cavalry squadron finally arrived at the town called 'Aimo', where the remaining Faustin garrison gave a warm welcome to the arriving cavalry squadron.

They had received word in advance that a large army returning home would pass through their town.

Why say one, because the Lion Legion and the Eagle Legion go separately, one route is southern, the other route is northern, although their destinations are both Peters City, which is led by Peters.

As the pioneer of the Locke squadron, it is not that after arriving here, they just accept the hospitality of the soldiers left behind, Baron Kaidozi and the generals stationed here have gone to find a piece of open space outside the town, which is enough to house the nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Eagle Legion.

The large army was estimated to arrive when it was completely dark.

"Brother Locke, how about you go and have some fun?" The soldiers of the cavalry squadron were already very familiar with Locke, and a few guys who jumped out came up and invited directly.

The so-called 'fun' is nothing more than drinking and finding women.

While the Baron was away, no one cared about them, as long as they pulled down one of Locke or Will Knights into the water, they could play as they pleased.

"No, you go. Locke shook his head and refused, he had drunk with these soldiers several times these days, and Locke didn't want to touch the wine tonight.

As for women, with Xia Qian and Grace and even Angelina, the three of them are beautiful and fragrant, and Locke is not very interested in ordinary women.

"Oh. Locke was not invited, and the soldiers were obviously not so excited, and walked towards the town in twos and threes.

Don't be kidding, most of the soldiers in the cavalry squadron have been trained by Will Knights, and it would be good if Will Knights could acquiesce to the laziness of the soldiers, don't think that Will Knights will be in the same league with them.

"Don't play too long!" Locke reminded the soldiers who hadn't gone far.

In the end, this small town called 'Aimo Town' sawed off a small patch of woods outside the town before the next large army was settled.

After a night of repair, continue your journey.

。。。

Walking on horseback on the land of Peters in the occupied territory, farmers tended to the crops in the fields on both sides of the road.

"The winter wheat was planted in October last year and will be harvested in two months. Baron Kaidozi showed off his knowledge to his soldiers around him.

As Locke listened, he looked at the green carpet of wheat in the field, although the soil was still covered with a little unmelted snow, but the bunches of wheat stood up like pacesetters.

Locke remembered the acres of land in the village that belonged to their family, because they were located in the warm south of Faustin, and they also planted two crops a year, but wheat was only planted in the spring, and in the winter they planted more productive rice potatoes and potatoes.

Although the bread is delicious, it is under the premise of not starving to death, and most ordinary civilians, in order to fill their bellies and have a good New Year, choose crops that are resistant to satiety and sufficient amounts.

I don't know if the rice potatoes at home have been harvested, Locke sketches the scene of working in the fields with his sister and father when he was a child: there were still snowflakes in the sky, little Locke rubbed his hands and stamped his feet in the field, and his sister Leah and old Locke held shovels with their frozen red hands, digging out the food used today from the hard earth.

Thinking of his sister's face and his father's appearance, a smile appeared on the corner of Locke's mouth. and his mother, the woman who worked hard all her life for the family.

"Ride!" waving his horsewhip, Baron Kaidozi led the cavalry squadron and quickened the pace of advance.

If nothing else, you will arrive in Peters City in the afternoon.

The troops had arrived in Petersland two days earlier, and unlike the hills and woods that had been all the way before, the vast plains of Peters' territory were its own calling card.

And these plains, now also planted by the Faustinians, countless crops for this year's use.

Faustin's army, approaching 30,000 men, arrived in Peters on the same day.

The Lion Legion and the Eagle Legion, these two teams marching from different routes, one after the other, less than half a day apart, entered Peters City together, which has to be said to be a coincidence.

Riding on a tall horse, Locke walked side by side with Hans and Kane on the avenues of Peters City.

After entering the city, Baron Kaidozi roughly said some precautions, and let the disbandment.

Of course, the soldiers are still in the barracks, they should train and be on duty.

All of them, the squadron leaders, slipped out of the barracks and fooled around.

The war horse under Kane was found by Locke. There were more horses than men in the cavalry squadrons, and it was easy to draw a horse, and of course it had to be returned in the end.

"Where are we going?" asked Hans. Of the three, he was the least assertive.

"Of course, it's to go to the most famous Fengyue District to see the world. Kane said.

Because of the war, countless Charlotte civilians were uprooted from their homes, and Peters received ample food production, which attracted many desperate refugees to come here to earn a living.

Most of the men went to do hard work, and the shortage of labor caused by the war made many jobs short. It's just that the wages won't be high, at most they won't starve to death. Most Faustins have a prejudice against the Charlottes.

It's good that a woman has a family, but if there is no pillar, she can only do some manual work, but it is difficult to fill her belly, and if she can't live, she can only sell meat. In disguise, it stimulated the development of Peters' leading industry.

Kane said that the most famous place here was from other experienced soldiers.

The influx of tens of thousands of Falstein soldiers has breathed fresh life into Peters, a city that has just emerged in recent years.

Every soldier is bulging at this time, and with the habit of being lavish in the army, I don't know how much industry Peters can lead to the development of the industry.

Fortunately, there are leaders like Baron Kaidozi who restrain most of his soldiers, and the soldiers can sneak out at most to play, otherwise there will be chaos.

"What kind of Fengyue place are you going!?" Locke glared at Kane.

Speaking of which, the most upright of the three is also Kane, although this guy is full of fancy intestines, but when it comes to the actual situation, he can bear it more than anyone else.

"Let's go, find a place to eat first. Locke set the tone.

Before they came out, they said hello and didn't go back to eat, but now that they have walked around, there is nothing to do, so it is better to sit down and eat something.

Walking to a more prosperous section, the three big men fell into hesitation.

On the left is a row of tavern-like establishments, with many tavern girls standing directly on the side of the road and smiling and soliciting customers, specializing in pulling big soldiers like Locke.

The scantily dressed girls, the inadvertent smell of perfume and the accidentally exposed Western scenery made the three big men collectively shake their throats, and in this cold winter, the three of them even felt a heat and dryness.

The other side is also a place to eat, but there is no direct out of the situation of soliciting customers, whether it is decoration or space, it is obviously a grade higher than the tavern on the right, under a beautiful chandelier at the door, there are only a few welcome waitresses.

Although these welcoming waitresses were more conservatively dressed than the girls outside, it was this dignified appearance that made Locke and the old coarse people covetous.

"Which side?" asked Hans, who was staring at a dignified waitress on his left with her hands on her belly.

"Of course it's on the right, let's drink!" Kane glanced at the tavern girls on the side of the road, who was basically wearing less, and who he was looking at.

Locke weighed it and took the two of them to a place called "HSBC Building" on the left.

A few people in the tavern have been messing around for I don't know how many times, and this kind of high-end place has never been to once, and it is good to come in and open your eyes, and have a long experience.

The reason why Kane proposed to go to the tavern on the right was also that there was a subconscious resistance to such things that he had not touched.

"Welcome!" As soon as the three elders stepped on the red carpet in front of the 'HSBC Building', the dignified maids on both sides bent down and said.

Although he was taken aback in his heart, Locke, as the leading eldest brother, still calmly entered with his two brothers with an expressionless face.
