Chapter 44 Blood Red
Since the troops were going to the Bering Mountains, logistics was extremely tested in this deep mountain forest, so the caravans of the Military Control Barracks had to choose to stay where they were. Did they go with the demonized creatures and monsters to trade?
As a last resort, Locke went to find Henry, a logistics businessman, for help. Xia Xi and the others also needed Henry to find a place to settle down.
Fat Henry patted his chest in front of Locke to ensure the safety of several women. As a caravan manager, Henry also had several desperate people to serve him. Locke had seen it and most of them had the strength of a private, so he was relieved. Henry had brought him a black round shield with an arm diameter a few days ago, which was made by a blacksmith he asked Peters to know. Although it was just made of ordinary mineral materials, the builder should be a skilled person. Locke tried the shield, which was more than twice as strong as his half-body armor, and was lighter in weight. His left arm could withstand it.
Lock has owed Henry a lot of face, so he took more than a thousand silver coins he got last time. Locke made a move on Henry. Henry didn't cheat him. The ratio of the military supplies camp was 2:1, and the ratio given by Henry was 3:2. Locke got a full 800 silver derricks. Uncle Yoshak didn't care about the silver coins. He believed that Uncle Yoshak must have his own channels, and he might not say that it would be more preferential. This is the connection that everyone has established. Locke cannot rely on Uncle Yoshak for everything, which will make him incompetent.
Because Locke made a one-time money, and after I asked Uncle Shake to warn him that he would not do it for a long time, Locke treated it as a one-time deal, and packed the black market in Wallear City and gave it to Henry, which was considered a favor to repay Henry. Henry had known that the existence of the Black Market in Sallear was a lack of an opportunity. The location Locke informed was really a timely help. Because of the special nature of the location in Wallear City, the Fosterman army would not wipe out the gathering place of the Shalear people in the near future. I believe that this black market will exist for a long time, and even the scale of the black market will become larger and larger.
Unlike Locke who can only choose currency transactions, Henry has more materials urgently needed by the Charlottes. As for this, it is not a private enemy camp, don't joke. The location of Walier City belongs to the hinterland of the Foster's occupied area. It is just because of the urgent need for concession to fight, and this small city can be temporarily ignored. Once the front-line war is over, the small city can be broken at any time. Moreover, Walier City is just a city composed of poor people, fugitives, refugees, and almost no threat.
After Henry learned the news, he was surprised that Locke dared to lead people to the black market transaction in Charleau alone. This was a brave and wise young man. Henry thought of it.
The night is coming, and it is destined to be an unforgettable night, because the word "rest" in the barracks tonight are not available. The baron who had just returned to the army ordered the soldiers to advance to the Bering Mountains to the west at full speed and arrive before dawn.
Night march is common in the eyes of soldiers, and there are no major wars recently, and the soldiers are in good condition. Locke said goodbye to Xia Xi not long ago. Xia Xi and others will go to the nearest Forstan occupation with the help of Henry. After the caravan is rectified, they will go directly to the military headquarters of the Als Mountains. However, the military headquarters should be no longer in the Als Mountains at that time, and Bimoore City is the new military headquarters.
The maid Rafi gradually lost her guard against Locke. Maybe because she was at the same age as Locke, or maybe she had not communicated too much with others all year round. This silly girl would always take a lot of talks after Locke made a conversation. If she hadn't seen Grace's face getting darker, Lafi would probably be able to talk and laugh with Locke.
Christine is still the closest person to Locke. This girl recently used a bear hug. She often suddenly appeared when Locke and Xia Xi were alone, and then jumped to Locke's waist to disturb the good things. Xia Xi not only did not get angry but developed a kind of maternal care and cared for Kristen very much. This made two women who were more than ten years apart formed a friendship that did not have an age gap.
Grace still looked like she was not painful. At first, she might have thoughts of running away and finding another way out, but now she has calmed down and I don’t know what she is thinking. Locke sometimes feels strange. He can obviously use strong women, but he has never had them. Instead, he will have a desire to protect her. This woman who is mostly calm often reminds Locke of Baron Kaidozi. They are very likely to be a kind of person, a kind of brain-playing person. Locke, who has developed limbs, comforts himself like this. This kind of person may be born with a big and rude person like Clock.
Xia Xi was certainly reluctant to leave for Locke's temporary departure, but this was the army. Locke had to leave. At the time of separation, Xia Xi could only melt Locke with a hug, with affectionate eyes. Locke gave most of her silver Derrells to Xia Xi and asked Xia Xi to take care of it. This would be a simple matter. Women who have been bosses would handle these wealth well. Xia Xi was not idle these days in the caravan. She actively observed and learned some of Henry's transactions. Henry did not hide his own privately. Xia Xi learned a lot. After Locke told Xia Xi that the group of gangsters who bullied her in Giza Town were subdued by him, Xia Xi immediately had some ideas about transactions. The Baron's caravan often went to the front line and Peters' leader. Giza Town was passing by. Xia Xi was preparing to do something, but she didn't want to be a vase.
Christine was the most reluctant to leave Locke. She was afraid that Locke would never appear in front of her like her relatives, such as her grandfather. The child had no way to leave Locke, so he could only cry. Locke was moved and felt that he had not had any love for Christele these days.
Grace looked at Locke for a while, "You won't die, right?" Just one sentence almost shocked Locke so much that she fell off the horse. She hurriedly made a great streak. Locke had some thoughts about Grace, but he was still a little worried in his heart. Although Locke had no need to be afraid of Grace, the little maid Lafite rolled his eyes at Locke ridiculously behind his own lady.
The first battalion had more than 500 people, and there were only pure combatants and more than 400 people. The soldiers rushed to the road. The Baron issued another order and would rest for two hours after arriving at the outskirts of the Bering Mountains.
The towering palaces in life are located in a mountain, the city walls are still upright, the arrows are still intact, and the gray and solemn marble pillars at the gate still show the glory of the city. But at this time, there is not much sound in the city. Even the houses with oil lamps are integrated into this overall tranquility.
Yes, this is the city of Audiz, the royal capital of Charlottes. This city is located on the top of the mountains. This city with the meaning of glory by the kings of Charlottes in history will enter the grave at this time.
In the palace, the soldiers, commanders, generals, attendants, palace maids, and nobles were all hurriedly doing their own things, and were incompatible with the overall quietness of the royal capital. Although Charlotte could be said to have been defeated, it can be seen that the upper nobles had not given up yet.
In the main hall in the center, it was late at night. The current king of 50-year-old Sharlot was still dealing with the ministers. The ruler of Sharlot was only a few years older than King Fostein, but he was more than a little older than King Fostein. His gray hair was casually scattered on his shoulders, and a heavy crown pressed on the old man's head, and he was only wearing a bright yellow silk robe. King Charlot quietly listened to the narrative of an official below.
"So, Princess Angelina of Forstan has arrived in our country?" said the king.
"Yes." The official should be engaged in underground tasks, and his dark robe was incompatible with the other ministers and generals around him.
"I think we should seize this news provided by Viscount Mogel and capture Princess Foster, who dared to penetrate into the heart of our country." A general stood up and said.
This is nonsense. Now, Fostertan's army has not penetrated deep into the hinterland of Charlotte.
"According to information, this Princess Angelina is King Foster's most precious daughter and the only sister of Prince Kensel." A middle-aged minister with a hooked nose stood up and said, "This is Charleau's Minister of Finance.
Although the Chancellor of the Exchequer did not say it clearly, everyone around him knew that as long as he captured the princess, he could take the opportunity to threaten Foster.
This again caused a common quarrel among the rest of the palace, and everyone had the same idea and had to catch this Princess Angelina, which might be their life-saving straw.
"Has the person been sent out?" The king's voice was not loud, but it suppressed the quarrels of the people below.
Although this information had just been heard by the King of King Charo, local officials, even some ministers who were proficient in intelligence had known it before this.
"My subordinates have sent scouts from their corps to come." A general said. Although scouts are the eyes on the battlefield and are mostly good at bows and arrows, each of them is an elite. Assassination and arrest are within their ability for them.
"The Marquis of Philip and Marquis Campbell of Entel and Ellis have also received the news that they have sent some of their men." said a minister in the military.
"Not enough!" said the king, "Send Xuehong out too." Just as Foster has a secret guard, Ciallo also has his own secret force. Ciallo once circulated among the top leaders of Ciallo. This army that only serves the royal family serves as the supervisory nobles and executes rebels. Everyone is disgusted by the rebels. But now, in the crisis of the country, this team has surfaced, and many troops have also cooperated with Ciallo.
"The first team of the Blood Team, all three teams will be sent out!" King Charo said. The ministers were shocked when they heard it, and then relieved. The Blood Team is the most elite part of the Blood Red. Until now, there are only three teams left. This time, the vast majority of them were sent. His Majesty the King has made great efforts-
