Chapter Thirteen Red Sea Flowers
Locke didn't know how he survived that battle, but he only knew that when he woke up again, he was at the foot of a pile of dead people up to eight meters high. A young man with a slightly tender face and yellow hair saved him. Locke told Young Master Zoro that this young man was named Kane, who was the same age as him, but he joined the army one year later.
This was the first time Locke and Kane met. At that time, Kane didn't know Locke was still alive. He was just a mistress on the battlefield. He gathered the soldiers who died in battle together to prepare for cremation under the orders of other soldiers of unknown name. Locke was just dragged by him as a corpse that was about to be cremated.
Fortunately, Locke was not dead, he just burst into tears and fainted. At that time, Locke, who was weak and about to die, was pulled back by Kane's half chestnut cake. Since then, Locke and Kane have experienced the bloody battle of Gordon Heights, which has changed in the world.
Locke finally remembered how he survived that time. In the end, the remaining dozen people were attacked by more than a hundred knights. The people in the front row were provoked by a tall spear, and the people in the back row were smashed into pieces by agile war horses. Locke suddenly hugged a soldier next to him who was frightened by the upcoming death, rushed towards the direction of the enemy war horses, lifted him directly above him, and endured the power from the trampling of the war horses. The scapegoat used as a buffer, Locke was not trampled to death at the first time. But Locke was also trampled with several ribs. He forced a will to survive to pull the surrounding corpses, covering him around him, and finally lost consciousness.
Framing a comrade-in-arms is a death sentence, especially in the military camp. After being discovered, he will be Lingchi and his family will be regarded as slaves for generations. So Locke ruined the matter in his heart and no one told him. That is, after that battle, Locke really grew up. He did not have any psychological shadow on this matter. Anyway, everyone will die in that situation. Why can't others' lives be exchanged for their own lives?
In addition to being more mature after that battle, Locke's harvest was taken over by a little brother like Kane, a beggar from a small town in Tyre Province. He came to be a soldier after he couldn't survive the drought. His team was disbanded and even if he returned to his corps, he would have become cannon fodder. So he has followed Locke since then.
After the war, Locke found the squad led by Uncle Yoshak, and the 10-person team were all left. In that war, Uncle Yoshak was promoted to squadron leader, Carl was the deputy squadron leader, and Locke became the captain of the private. Seeing that Kane was thin and clever, Locke asked him to serve as the scout of the squadron. It was also after that battle that all the squadrons were severely reduced, and the members of other squadrons added to Locke's team. The iron triangles of Locke, Hans, and Kane were gathered together at that time.
After the story was finished, I don’t know if it was Mr. Zoro’s emotion or Locke immersed in the memories, and the tent fell into a brief memory. As for the part where Locke escaped from the Wolf Warrior Corps, Locke only introduced that he had escaped from the dead by hiding in the pile of dead people. He did not explain in detail, this matter would only be broken in Locke’s heart and would never be discovered.
"Playing..." Master Zoro clapped his hands after a brief quiet moment, "No wonder you, Locke can make a name in the camp. He is indeed capable and courageous. The Wolf Warrior Legion was completely destroyed in Gordon Heights shocked Fostertan, Charlotte, and the surrounding countries. Unexpectedly, you, a small person, also participated in this war."
"The battlefield I am in is just a battle between a certain corps under the Wolf Warrior Legion and our Lion Legion. I'm sorry." This is not the first time Locke has been involved in the officialdom. These clichés have shown one by one, showing the image of a strong and humble subordinate in front of Master Zoro.
"Well, it's already great that you can do this. Tell me what happened to you when you come to me this time." After Mr. Zoro said, he asked with his eyes narrowed. But this inquiry was even more resounding and more real.
Lock immediately bent down and clasped his fists, saying in a deep voice, "I hope to follow Master Zoro in the future war and join you in the battle to kill the enemy." This is what Xia Qian analyzed last night. Since the new army is used to establish a team for Master Zoro, Master Zoro must be the captain commander. At this time, Locke does not need an official, just show his loyalty. I believe that Master Zoro will not treat him badly.
"Well, I know about you. Since you choose to follow me, there will be your benefits. This red sea flower is helpful for absorbing Dou Qi. It is useless to me. When you leave, cut a piece and take it back. Put it around to speed up the cultivation of Dou Qi. Of course, it can also be ground into juice and drink it. It can be taken raw, but it tastes not very good. This is enough for you to use for three days." Master Zoro was obviously happy that he could have a strong and flexible subordinate who was loyal to him. He pointed to a coral-shaped red plant on the left shelf without hesitation and said.
"Master Xie Zoro." Although Master Zoro did not say anything clearly, all treasures that were helpful to practicing Dou Qi were given away, and everything was left unspeakable.
Locke walked to the Red Sea Flower, picked up a pocket knife next to the flower, and cut one along the edge of the branch with a long index finger. Although Master Zoro said that this thing was useless to him, seeing that there were many cutting marks on the Red Sea Flower, I think that Master Zoro also often took it, and the Red Sea Flower was not completely useless to him. Locke dared not act rashly, but just took a small one and then respectfully retreated aside.
"Well, I've received your wine, I'm going to rest." It's been a long time since Zoro was a little tired and prepared to take a rest, so he saw him off. Locke didn't dare to disturb him anymore. The purpose had been achieved and he left Mr. Zoro's tent.
Locke was in a happy mood and walked towards his team's camp. He was going to spend the night in the camp tonight. After all, he couldn't go out every night and didn't return. The impact was not good. He dared to be so blatant when he became the squadron leader. Xia Qian said that he had already said last night that he didn't have to wait for him. Locke would go to see her in two days.
At ten days, the barracks heard the shouts of soldiers practicing from time to time. They were about to start. Each team leader began to train his own team of soldiers, sharpening his guns in the face of battle, and he would be too happy. Of course, smart people were the most active at this time, such as Locke.
In the dark green tent in the middle of the barracks, the atmosphere was quiet. At the first place was a middle-aged man with a mature temperament, upright and dark beard. Baron Kaidozi is 40 years old this year. His long-term position and outstanding strength have put a lot of pressure on others sitting in the tent. No one dared to speak out before the baron spoke.
There were 10 people in the tent. The first one was the calm Baron Kaidozi. On the left is the captain of the cavalry team wearing armor and huge body, the famous cavalry team captain Will, on the right is the calm Master Zoro, and then there were six squadron leaders including Yoshak. Nine people sat around a long table in the tent, headed by Baron Kaidozi. Behind the baron was an old man in housekeeper's uniform. Judging from his age, he was probably over 50 years old. After so many years, the old housekeeper has been serving the baron. No one here dared to underestimate him.
"Five days later, the army commanded the death orders to the corps. Two months later, we must meet in Entel City, so this time the siege of Francis must be decided quickly. Kashgar has already contacted the meeting." The Baron made a task to the meeting, and his unquestionable tone was unquestionable.
"It seems that the military headquarters is also anxious, too. After all, the Xiongfeng Legion is about to reach Ellis City, and our Eagle Legion has not even seen Entel City." The person who spoke was Monte, the squadron leader of the First Squadron. Unlike Uncle Yoshak who served as the squadron leader with his qualifications and courage, the squadron leader of the Monte relies on his mind and wisdom. He is the Baron's think tank. Only he dares to speak like this in front of the Baron.
"Well, the two legions have been in conflict for a long time. This time, the people of the Xiongfeng Legion took the lead. It would be strange if the people in the military are not in a hurry." Knight Will also echoed.
After breaking through the Felmer Grand Canyon a few months ago, the Kingdom of Charlottes was like a naked lamb, exposed to the iron cavalry of the Forstan army. The three major legions attacked the heartland of Charlottes in three directions. The Fengfeng Legion walked up, the Lion Legion was walking down, and the Eagle Legion walked down.
