Chapter 92: Tranquility before the storm

It was almost a week since the ridiculous night of Locke and Grace. Many things happened during the period.
First, a group of mercenaries hired by the Baron in Peters's collar had arrived at the Joint Barracks and officially entered the Locke camp. The nationalities of this group of professional mercenaries are strange, some are natives of Forstan, some come from the Southern Likia Union, and people from the Kingdom of Karaman, and even people from the Omor Empire.
The leader is a middle-aged bearded man with a thick brown beard, showing the rich experience of this group of mercenary leaders. This is also a strong knight servant class. Locke's intuition is very keen, he feels that he should not be the opponent of this bearded man.
But Locke, the deputy captain of the Forstin Cavalry Squadron, is in a much higher position than this bearded man. This group of mercenaries said that the good ones were mercenaries, but the bad ones were the life of the baron who bought the money. Whenever the baron surrenders, they have to, although they may die.
But then again, this group of mercenaries with their heads on their belts are not afraid of death. For them, death may just be a small wound cut through their body, although the wound is on the heart.
Another thing is that the recruit recruited by the baron in the territory has been in place a few days ago. A recruit squadron composed of 72 young soldiers, most of whom are between 15 and 17 years old, younger than Locke.
It is worth noting that one of the boys was Hans’s younger brother. There are three brothers in the Hans family. Hans ranks second, with a newly-bred brother on the top and a brother three years younger than Hans on the bottom. It was his brother who was called in by the baron this time.
In fact, in a family like Hans, when there is already a male member to join the army, the baron will not force them to send another member to join the army, but Kaido Qiling really has no more young adults, just look The age of this group of recruits, you can know that these soldiers are also difficult to make up the territory.
Of course, the reason why Hans's younger brother will be recruited, in addition to the baron's order and the generous compassion given, is also the news that Hans, who was returned to Kaidoqi a month ago, served as the deputy squadron captain.
Taken by a brother in the position of squadron leader, it is of course better to be mixed than to be a farmer in the fields. This is what Brother Hans thinks. Although that time a month ago, there were rumors of nearly half of the deaths and injuries of Camp Keduoqi, how many families were broken.
From this point of view, Hans's younger brother is also ambitious and dares to join the army when the military's injury rate is so high.
"Brother Locke!" Hans' brother always met Rock in the barracks with a smile on his face. His name was Hank.
"Sister Leah and Aunt Tia heard that you were okay, but they were so relieved!" Hank said with a smile.
Locke also just knew this shortly. During his days in the Bering Mountains, the news of the "death of war" was not passed back to the leader of Kaidoqi, but was intercepted by Hans and Kane. His military pay was sent back to Locke's family to show that Locke was still alive.
A month ago, Camp Keduoqi was killed and wounded by nearly half. The big eagle army may not be a big deal, but it caused a great uproar in Kedokqi. The entire Kaiduo was led by a group of people, and each family had a relative or a relative died.
Locke lamented that thanks to the help of the two brothers Hans and Kane, he could not believe what would happen if his parents and sister knew of the news of his death. Unlike the strong males of the Hans family, Locke is the only seedling in the family.
"Yeah, you have to do it well!" Locke patted Hank's shoulder. The boy was three years younger than Locke, but his size was not much worse. He was too thin, just like a sack. It is completely unimaginable that he is the younger brother of the sturdy Hans.
"Yes!" Hank grinned, grinning.
Unlike Hans who is a boring bottle, Hank is rather a familiar character, which is very similar to Kane. Coupled with the difference between the two personalities, the veterans in the camp did not joke, Hank is more like Kane's brother.
Kane also took care of this brother's relatives and brothers. Because of Hank's physique, Kane planned to train him to be the same scout as his own. Kane, who grew up alone, this time is to use the means of pressing the bottom of the box. Take it out and teach it to Hank. Almost a week has passed, and Kane has looked down on the lack of promotion to first-class soldiers.
Of the three of them, Kane is the most jumpy, but Kane is the most open-minded, and it does not matter what the future is. Kane, an orphan and beggar, is easily satisfied with the future.
"It's enough for a person to live comfortably!" This is Kane's original words.
This morning, Locke completed his routine training, first turning around in the cavalry battalion. After all, he is the deputy captain of the cavalry squadron. Locke needs to get acquainted with his men.
After the incident, Locke went straight to Hans and Uncle Joker. They went to the baron camp for lunch together.
When I went to Hans, it was just in time for Kane to train Hank. Hans and others were all looking at the two men in the barracks who were training. Kane is teaching Hank to crawl forward. As a scout, this is the most basic and most important skill.
Just looking at Hank off the field, eating bitter loess bitterly, a few people could not help bursting out laughter. There is not much fun in the barracks now. It is also a good time-passing thing to watch others deflate.
Joshak and Karl saw Lock coming and said with a smile: "Come!"
Now the position of Locke, because of the particularity of the cavalry squadron, is one level larger than that of ordinary squadrons, and the strength of Locke’s low-level servants is there. Other squadrons should be respectful when they see Locke, but about Shak Not with Carl. The two are Locke’s elders, and Locke will never take anything against these two.
Nodding, Locke also kindly replied, "Yeah, Uncle." To Uncle Joshak and Uncle Karl, Locke is a respect from the bottom of my heart.
When the time was about the same, Locke and others greeted Kane and Hank, who were still training off the court, and went to the baron camp together. At the dying Hank drilled by Kane, he looked up at this time, looking at the distant Locke, Hans and others with envy, saying, "When can I be like my brother? All right!"
"As long as you have the ability, you can reach that height." Kane on the side replied angrily. His "apprentice", his physical fitness is also good, and his mind is flexible. He is lazy. He always wants to be lazy. Stare at him.
"Next training, don't climb three times, you are not allowed to eat lunch!" Kane said to Hank fiercely, although he didn't care whether he was promoted to squadron leader, but there were some regrets, Hank accidentally exposed Kane Scars, I’m sorry, Kane must not let you practice twice more?
"Ah?!" Hank, who practiced creeping on the ground, uttered a scream directly, and other soldiers in the distance heard it, and all shivered.
Regardless of being on the training ground, the struggling Hank, Rock and Hans, Uncle Joshak and others have arrived at the baron's camp.
The four people sat together in a tacit understanding. Of course, the first seat was Baron Kedoch, the lower right hand position belonged to the Knight of Will, and the left hand position belonged to Master Sauron, although this position has been empty recently. of. The next position is Captain Monte Squadron and Locke, followed by the remaining captains.
Locke is sitting next to the seat of Will Knight, because his position is the deputy of Will Knight, so it is normal to sit here. Next to Locke were Uncle Joshak, Uncle Carl, and Hans.
Not long afterwards, several people came in one after another in the camp. First, Captain Monte squadron entered the camp with a smile, then his deputy captain, and then the third squadron captain of Hans’ squadron. This guy was close to Han. Sit sat down, as if Hans was the center captain, but he was Hans' deputy.
The last person who came in time was the bearded mercenary squadron and a shadowy youth with white skin. They are the heads of the mercenary squadrons, probably because they are mercenaries from the dragon and snake mix. This group of guys is relatively loose, and they are the latest.
But because it is a mercenary, credit is very important. Although he came late, he was never late. He was stuck in time and no one could talk about others.
As soon as the young man with a big beard and a bird of prey entered the camp, Baron Kedoch and the Knight of Will walked in. Baron Kedoch should discuss the matter with Will Knight, walked to the door of the camp, and was still talking.
There is still more than a week before the arrival of the New Year. With a lot of calculations, Locke will be in the army for five years. Looking back at these five years of experience is a memorable memory of Locke’s life.
The baron recently announced few orders, mostly training soldiers. In the joint barracks, more than 70,000 soldiers, together with new recruits that have been continually added from the Kingdom of Forstan, have actually reached 80,000. In this large military camp full of blood, the voice of soldier training is heard every day.
Locke once took the time to go to the side of the Union Barracks and took a peek at the city of Otis surrounded by them. The simple and majestic towers, the tall and dangerous city walls, and the countless fortified instruments on the city walls shocked Locke.
This is the first time that Locke has seen a large city with a population of more than 100,000. As the king capital of Odis, the first impression left by Locke is magnificent. Soon, will they attack such a city? Locke looks at the pruning city wall and the sword-drawn Odyssey City. Some of Locke’s heart is a little excited,
The snow covered the joint military camp of Odis City and Forstan, and the world was wrapped in silver. But Locke knew that this was the tranquility before the storm.
