Chapter 122 The way home
"Neal~Lu Lu~" Waving the whip, Locke rode the war horse under his crotch and galloped on the dirt road in the mountains.
With him, there were nearly a hundred cavalrymen, and Baron Kaidozi was the leader.
He and the Will Knight were only half a position behind the Baron, one left and one right, and a group of cavalrymen were "bounced" and were rampant.
When he arrived at the slope, Baron Kaidozi pulled up the reins and stopped first. The many cavalrymen behind him also stopped quickly as if they were still.
"Where are we?" Baron Kaidozi asked with his head turned.
Lock took out a parchment from the inside of his armor, opened it and took a brief look, then put it away and said, "There is a town in front of me, and it's two days away from arriving at Peters."
This map is a military map of Fostertan, with very detailed records. Locke knew not many words, but he still knew a few place names.
"Okay." Baron Kaidozi nodded and knew, pointing to a soldier casually and said, "You, go to the cavalry regiment behind to report everything is fine."
"Yes!" The soldier turned his horse's head and ran towards the direction when everyone came.
"Let's go." Baron Kaidozi kicked the horse's hip and led the cavalry squadron to continue setting off.
More than a week have passed since leaving the United Barracks, Locke discovered that the troops transferred back to the Kingdom included two cavalry corpses of the Eagle Legion and the Lion Legion, as well as one infantry corps under his command.
Needless to say, the Cavalry Corps is actually the most elite first corps of the two major legions.
This made Locke feel a sense of suspicion, are they really just returning to their hometown?
This act of sending back the two armies and the most elite troops attracted the attention of many people as interested in Locke.
Of course, at this time, Locke had to choose to obey the orders from the senior management.
The cavalry squadrons of their battalions are currently operating with the cavalry regiment of the Eagle Legion, while the infantry squadrons are following the First Corps.
The task of their squadron now is to be the vanguard of the Eagle Legion's return troops, and walk in front of the entire army.
Along the way, there were territories in the occupied areas. Almost every inhabited town was hosted by Fostertan's left-behind soldiers, so the safety and comfort were not too high.
Anyway, Locke feels that he has been traveling around the mountains and rivers in the past week.
I didn't pay much attention to the war before, but now I look carefully and find that there are still many beautiful scenery in Charlotte that is not much worse than that in Forstan.
In the evening, the cavalry squadron finally arrived in this small town called "Aimo". The Fostertan garrison left behind in the town expressed a warm welcome to the arrival of the cavalry squadron.
They received the news in advance that one of the large troops returning to China would pass by their town.
Why do you say one? Because the Lion Legion and the Eagle Legion go separately, one route is south and the other route is north, although their destinations are Peters City led by Peters.
As the pioneer of the road, Locke and his squadron did not just accept the hospitality of the left-behind soldiers after arriving here. Baron Kaidozi and the generals stationed here went to find a space outside the town, which was enough to accommodate nearly 10,000 soldiers in the Eagle Legion.
The large army probably won't arrive when it's completely dark.
"Brother Locke, how about you go and have some fun?" The soldiers of the cavalry squadron were already familiar with Locke. A few guys who had jumped up came up and invited him directly.
The so-called "joy" is nothing more than drinking and finding women.
While the Baron was away, no one cared about them. Just pull one of Rock or Will Knights into the water and you can play casually.
"No, you guys go." Locke shook his head and refused. He had drunk several times these days, and Locke didn't want to touch the wine tonight.
As for women, with Xia Xi, Grace and even Angelina, three national beauty, Locke is not very interested in ordinary women.
"Oh." The soldiers were not invited, and the soldiers were obviously not so excited. They called each other in groups of three or three to walk into the town.
Please ask the Will Knight? Don't joke. Most of the soldiers in the cavalry squadron were trained by Will Knights. It would be nice if Will Knights could acquiesce to the soldiers' laziness. Don't think that Will Knights would be with them.
"Don't play for too long!" Locke reminded the soldiers who had not yet walked away.
In the end, this small town called "Aimo Town" saw off a small piece of wood outside the town before relocating the subsequent large army.
After a night of repair, continue to set off...
Walking on the land under the occupied Peters area, on the fields on both sides of the road, farmers were taking care of the crops in the fields.
"These 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.
While listening, Rock looked at the green blanket-like wheat fields in the farmland. Although the soil was covered with some unmelted snow marks, bunches of wheat stood up like models.
Lock remembered the acres of land in the village that belonged to their family. Because it is located in the warm south of Forstan, Lock and his team also planted crops two seasons a year, but wheat was only planted in spring, and in winter, it produced more rice, potatoes and potatoes.
Although bread is delicious, it is the premise that it cannot be starved to death. In order to fill their stomachs and have a good New Year, most ordinary people choose crops that are full tolerant and sufficient in order to fill their stomachs.
I don’t know if the rice and potatoes at home have been collected. Locke’s mind outlined the scene of working in the fields with his sister and father when he was a child: snowflakes were still falling in the sky, little Locke rubbed his hands, and stomped his feet in the fields with frozen hands. Sister Lea and Old Locke held a shovel with their frozen red hands and digged out the food they used today from the hard land.
Thinking of his sister's face and father's appearance, a smile appeared on the corner of Locke's mouth. He also had his mother, the woman who was very careful in her family's expenses, and worked hard all her life.
"Hold!" Waving the whip, Baron Kaidozi led the cavalry squadron to speed up the pace of progress.
If nothing unexpected happens, you will be able to arrive in Peters City in the afternoon.
The troops arrived at Peters's Territory two days ago. Unlike the hills and woods along the way, Peters's vast plains are its own business card.
These plains are now planted by the Fosterians with countless crops for their expenses this year.
The Forstan army, which was close to 30,000 men, arrived at Peters City on the same day.
The Lions and Eagles, these two teams traveling from different routes, entered Peters City in less than half a day, and they all entered Peters City together. It has to be said that it was a coincidence.
Riding on a tall horse, Rock, along with Hans and Kane, walked side by side on the Avenue in Peters City.
After entering the city, Baron Kaidozi roughly mentioned some precautions and let them disband.
Of course, the soldiers should still train and be on duty in the military camp.
All of them, the squadron leaders, sneaked out of the military camp and fooled.
The war horses under Kane were found by Locke. The cavalry squadron had more horses than people, so it was easy to draw one, and of course he had to return it in the end.
"Where are we going to visit?" Hans asked. Among the three, he was the least opinionated.
"Of course, it's about going to the most famous Fengyue District to see the world." Kane said, jumping away.
Due to the war factors, countless civilians in Charlotte left their hometowns, and Peters led sufficient food production, which attracted many desperate refugees to come here to make a living.
Most men go to work hard, and the lack of labor caused by war has made many jobs short of people. However, the wages are not high, and at most people cannot starve to death. Most Fosterites have prejudices towards the Charlottes.
It’s okay for women to have a family. If there is no pillar, they can only do some manual work, but it is difficult to fill their stomachs. If they can’t live, they can only sell meat. This has stimulated the development of Peters’ leading industry in disguise.
The most famous place of love and beauty here is heard from other experienced soldiers.
The influx of tens of thousands of Fostein soldiers injected fresh vitality into Peters City, a city that has just emerged in recent years.
Every soldier is now full of waists, and with the habit of being big-handed in the army, I don’t know how many industries Peters can lead to the development of.
Fortunately, leaders like Baron Kaidozi restrained most of their soldiers, and the soldiers could at most sneak out to play, otherwise there would be chaos.
"What kind of romantic place to go!?" Locke glared at Kane.
Speaking of which, Kane is the most upright of the three. Although this guy is full of genius, he can bear it more than anyone else when it comes to the actual situation.
"Let's go! Find a place to have a meal first." Locke set the tone.
Before the three of them came out, they said hello and didn't go back to have a meal. Now they have been walking around and there is nothing to do, so why not sit down and eat something.
Walking to a relatively prosperous section of the road, the three big men fell into hesitation.
On the left is a row of places similar to taverns. Many tavern girls stood directly on the side of the road and smirked at guests, specializing in big-headed soldiers like Locke and others.
The exposed girls inadvertently exuded the perfume smell and the accidentally exposed Western scenery made the three men tremble their throats together. In this cold winter, the three of them actually felt a sense of heat.
The other side is also a place to eat, but there is no direct situation of attracting guests. Whether it is decoration or space, it is obviously higher than the tavern on the right. Under a beautiful chandelier at the door, only a few welcome maids stood pretty.
Although these welcoming maids dressed more conservatively than the girls outside, their dignity made Locke and other rude men envious.
"Where's going?" The question was Hans. The guy stared at a female servant who was raising her hands on the left with a dignified manner.
"Of course it's on the right, go drink!" Kane looked at the pavilion girls on the side of the road. Basically, who was wearing less clothes, and who he looked at.
After weighing the pros and cons, Locke took the two to a place called "Dao Silk Skirt" on the left.
The people in the tavern have been together for countless times, but I have never been to such a high-end place. It is good to have a good idea 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 that he had subconscious resistance to such things that were not in contact with.
"Welcome!" As soon as the three big old men stepped onto the red carpet in front of the "Dao Silk Skirt", the dignified maids on both sides bent down and said.
Chapter completed!
