Chapter 15: election

After a long time, it was finally Locke’s turn, first of all the squadron leader vote. "I think this guy is still too young and should practice for another two years." Then he stopped talking. Monte didn't know if it was an illusion. He felt that Master Sauron had deliberately and unintentionally glanced at him, a bad feeling came to life. But he didn't care too much, maybe it was an illusion
Then it was the turn of the deputy captain of the first squadron. He was no stranger to Locke. He first knew Locke after the battle at Gordon Heights. He was covered with blood. He came to the barracks that had just been built. Obviously, the military uniform of the Forstan Kingdom may have been shot by the archer before approaching the camp.
At that time, he was still the captain of a small team. At that time, he just led his men to the camp door. Rock took a young man who was about the same size as him. His first sentence to the camp door was "Sir, please ask this is an eagle." Is the Second Brigade of the Second Corps of the Legion?" After being affirmed, Locke fainted. He hurriedly asked his men to take him to see a medical doctor. He had a good impression of this young man.
Perhaps it was the kindness that was made at the time. Locke has been very respectful to him since then. He often greets him and often sends him some seized gadgets. He was very useful. He remembered the wine that Locke sent him two days ago and a small silver pendant full of Charlotte style. Although it is not expensive, he is here.
"I think this guy is responsible. Although he is younger, he still has the motivation. Let's agree first," said the deputy captain of No. 1 Squadron. He also took care of Monte's face and didn't fill his words, but also expressed his supportive attitude.
Monte was a bit surprised at this person at this moment. He was familiar with his deputy captain. A brother who came out of the trench, since he all supported it, presumably this guy must be outstanding.
The following Joshak and Carl both expressed their support for Locke, and everyone was not surprised. Their team couldn't help but chill their team's heart. However, it is too simple to ask the captain of the squadron. It is only three votes to know that even one of the two before Locke has won three votes. Moreover, the popular candidates Na Roma and Jelson have not started voting.
"I think Locke's management skills are still lacking, and I should exercise again." The last deputy captain of the fourth squadron also expressed his opinion, which was obviously a negative vote. At this point the voting should be over, if only three votes, Locke's chances are slim.
"I think Locke is good, leadership is not low, and a squadron leader is more than enough." Just as Monte was preparing to start the voting of the next person, Master Sauron, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke.
There was a short period of calm in the camp. Eventually, Joshac was the first to react and echoed,
Yeah, I’m a boy who grew up looking at Locke. I’m not bad in every aspect. Master Sauron, did you say that? Wrong." The rest of the people finally reacted and said, "Yeah, Locke's strength is quite strong. The leadership is not low, and their team's death rate is the lowest in our battalion. This guy is not bad." Even Those who voted against it before also began to praise Locke.
It seemed that Locke had taken the line of Master Sauron, and Joshac thought to himself. Not only about Shak, but the people in the room thought about it. Baron Kedoch looked at his son in surprise. His son had never participated in this type of voting. Was this Locke really talented, or... the baron looked at his son, thoughtfully. It's time for him to exercise, and Baron Kedoch has a decision in his heart.
After a period of uproar, the vote continued. Locke currently has the most votes, with four votes. In the following vote, the six squadron captains had a barometer in their hearts because of the participation of Master Sauron. Since Master Sauron elected Locke, Locke must have occupied one of the two squadron captains. Therefore, in the next vote, no more than two people can get more than four votes. Master Sauron didn't participate in the next three votes, and he even strengthened his understanding.
Although this is a more democratic and fair conference voting system proposed by the Baron, everyone in the room can be said to be the Baron’s official, and more likely to be Master Sauron’s official in the future. True fairness does not exist. Since their young master decides Locke, they just have to find ways to agree.
The final voting result was Locke’s four votes, Jerson’s four votes, and poor Rome’s only three votes, and the rest did not say anything. If it weren’t for Master Sauron to intervene, Jerson, who has good seniority and leadership, would not have only four votes, and it would be impossible for Rome to have only three votes, but since this is the case, everyone has to accept it.
"Then the squadron leader will be replaced by Jellson and Locke." Baron Kedozi finally settled. Baron Kedoch looked at the rest of the camp quietly. Everyone who had been trained in high positions all year round did not dare to speak loudly. This had nothing to do with strength, it was just the baron’s personal charm. "Next, we will announce one more thing. The third and fourth squadrons will be merged into the third squadron. Each squadron will transfer veterans to the fourth squadron. Jellson will be the captain of the fourth squadron. Locke will be the deputy captain of the fourth squadron."
After he finished speaking, Baron Kedozi looked at Sauron, his voice turned, and he turned to Sauron in a slightly calm tone. Don't let me down." Only at this time can the rest of the people feel a touch of affection from the barren and unpredictable baron of the past. This is the baron's fatherly love for his son.
"Yes, father." Master Sauron bowed his head slightly and appointed.
"So, break up. Will, the squad leader's arrogance will be taught by you. The next offensive arrangement in France will be held at noon tomorrow." The baron stood up and said.
"Yes, sir." Except for Master Sauron, the remaining seven all stood up and answered respectfully.
The meeting was over, and the squadron leaders and Master Sauron all left the camp. At this time, only Baron Kedoqi and the old butler who remained silent after him were left in the camp. The guards at the door rushed in, and the conference table moved to the side and then reverently retreated. The two maids also walked in. After adding a cup of tea in front of the baron, they stooped and walked back lightly.
The baron, who is in his forties, increasingly likes to drink this noble drink, tea. Drinking tea can relax the baron for a long time. Baron Kedoqi tasted the tea in his hand, not knowing where his mind was. After a long time, I finally put down the tea in my hands. "John, have you regretted following me for so long?" the baron asked.
"Old slaves are favored by the baron. From a slave to a baron, you can serve as the butler of the baron. You will serve the baron without regret." The butler behind the baron said.
"Alas, two decades have passed, and the children have grown up..." The baron felt with emotion that this majestic, cold, and unfathomable baron Kaidoqi was also a father. "You are a mid-level knight servant-level strongman, condescending to be my butler, I will not treat you badly." The baron continued.
"Old slave, thank you Baron." The old housekeeper said, kneeling.
"Get up, after so many years, you still haven't changed those vulgar rites, don't toss your body when you are older, and always kneel is not good for your body." Baron Kaidoqi said sympathetically.
"The old slave's body is okay, and he can protect the baron and share his worries for the baron." The old housekeeper said with his head down.
The baron smiled and turned to the housekeeper behind him and asked, "John, which of your two sons do you prefer? Is it the boy George of the cavalry squadron or the warner of the quartermaster camp? The little boy George has already reached the peak of the entry-level knight servant, If there is a chance to go further, the future is limitless."
"George is indeed talented. If he is successful, he will be a low-level knight servant at the age of thirty." The old steward said.
"Just for me to add another general to Kaido Qi." The low-level knight servant is already a good fighting force. Baron Kai-doqi has only one high-level knight servant-level Will knight, and the middle-level knight servant-level. The old housekeeper Henry, the low-level servant is only one Monte, and the rest of the squadrons who have cultivated their temper are all entry-level servants.
However, the baron himself is also a low-level knight servant. In the country, Kadoqi led the baron to keep a low-level knight servant for deterrence. Due to the drought, the domestic thieves were everywhere, and the army was fighting again, and had no time to deal with it, so he left It is necessary for a low-level knight to be a strong servant.
This is all the high-level combat power that the baron has cultivated over the years. One high-level and one middle-level, including the baron himself, is a more terrifying force. Compare it with the baron. The cooperating Baron Kashir is also a baron, and the power shown by Baron Kashir is only one middle-ranking and two low-ranking knight servants, which is more than one step away from Baron Kedoqi.
A high-level knight servant is fully capable of defeating and even killing three mid-level knight servants, so the knight of the light will kill the high-level combat power of Baron Kashgar. This shows the strength of the baron.
"Warner is also a clever boy, and he manages the quarters of the quartermaster camp very well." Baron Kaidoqi then commented on the second son of the old housekeeper.
"Well, Warner is a good boy." When talking about Warner, the old housekeeper Gu Jingwubo's face finally changed, and when the baron praised Warner, the old housekeeper Henry showed a smile.
Baron Kedoch, who was so keen, discovered at a glance that his old housekeeper John liked his second son even more. Baron Kedoch asked curiously, "Henry, it is clear that George has a higher achievement, why do you prefer Warner?"
The old housekeeper remained silent for a long time and replied, "Because he is more filial."
Baron Kedoch said nothing after hearing it.
