Today, Locke received news that it was exactly half a month later that their battalion needed to arrive at the town of Ramosa in front of Enter City. The war has dragged on long enough, and the military has issued a strict order to capture Entelcheng after half a month, completely dismantling Charlo's living force.
In the evening, Locke called Hans, and after explaining, Hans left with a group of soldiers.
The town of Giza in the middle of the night is like a ghost realm, gloomy and gloomy, with dilapidated houses and collapsed buildings everywhere. Only the rustling sound that Ruowu pierces through proves that there are still people alive in this town.
Hagen has been living a good life recently. He didn't expect his wife to be close to a big man, and along the way, he would also rise. He used to be a tavern owner, but he doesn't know anything else, and his ability to observe words is not bad. She had seen Charlo's defeat long ago, and had taken refuge with the Faustains. But I don't have any barriers, and it is normal to be kicked away by Faustain, but not now. Hagen is full of confidence.
Hagen was drunk on the side of the road in the town of Giza. He was going to a lover's house. Although the war had destroyed everything, it was not bad for him, at least he lived better than others. The road at night is always bumpy. Hagen has already tripped once. He continued to walk scoldingly. Some beggars and refugees around were kicked and beaten by him at will.
Suddenly, a dark figure bumped up. "You don't have eyes on a horse!..." Hagen scolded angrily, but then his voice fell silent. The moonlight came over, revealing the majestic body of the shadow. Hans, holding a short dagger, looked blankly at Hagen, who had been stabbed in the throat.
"Hoho..." Hagen widened his eyes, pointed at the shadow and wanted to say something, and finally turned his head and lost his breath.
A group of people appeared behind the shadow. They quickly cleaned up the scene. In the end, the shadow and the group of people disappeared in the night, leaving only a headless body.
The surrounding beggars and refugees slowly gathered together, and after observing that there was no danger around them, they swarmed up and grabbed the few clothes on their bodies.
A beggar with a smile on his face took a coin from somewhere on his body, but was quickly snatched away by another stronger beggar. After the fight, the ground was finally empty. I don't know where the half of the corpse was kicked by the crowd.
In a basement in the town of Giza, dozens of emaciated people gather here to keep warm. There was only a small pile of wood burning on the ground, and most of the people around were only wearing one or two thin pieces of coarse cloth. There are men and women, old and young.
Hans and his party appeared here, and what they saw was this situation.
It seems that many of the people here know them and are startled, but more of them are afraid and hesitant. As soon as the thin middle-aged man stood up, he seemed to be the leader here.
Hans didn't talk nonsense with these people, and threw Hagen's head with one hand. "You will watch the underground world of this small town in the future, but the monthly turnover is 20% higher than before, otherwise he will be a role model!"
The middle-aged man didn't seem to digest the information he just got, and said in astonishment, "Sir, he's not angry with us anymore?"
"As long as you do well, we won't do anything to you. In short, we have to make achievements for us, otherwise..." Hans threatened coldly.
The middle-aged man was startled and immediately replied, "It's definitely 20% more than what Hagen handed in."
Hans snorted coldly and led the people away without much nonsense.
When the middle-aged man saw that they were all gone, his body seemed to be hollowed out, and he sat down slumped. "Brother, we've posted this time," the younger brothers around said excitedly, the old man and the woman also smiled, and only the children looked at these adults ignorantly.
The middle-aged people were the same group of people who robbed Xia Qian's tavern back then. After being taught by Locke and the others, they had a very bad life. Later, when Locke became the squadron captain, more people wanted to find fault with them.
The middle-aged man used to be a small businessman with a little brain, otherwise he would not be the leader of this group of people. He always hoped to lead them to a good life, even if the means were disgraceful.
The refugees here are all from the same town. Charlo lost the war and domestic bandits were rampant. They were forced to escape. The middle-aged man had no way out and chose to rob, and only Xia Qian's Green Palm Tavern was still open.
It was also at that time that he provoked the evil star Locke. In those days, their group starved to death several old people and children. There was no way this was the way of life, and he didn't dare to take anger at Locke. Now there is a chance to live better, although it is the underworld, but it can live better, no matter what, even the opportunity given by the enemy cannot be given up.
The middle-aged man intends to work hard, and he must not end up like Hagen.
After the soldiers "patrol" in France City stopped, the city finally became quiet, and some Charlois began to walk on the street, but they were still timid, as if they could not forget the brutality of Faustain's soldiers when the city was broken.
For ordinary people in Charlot, Faustain soldiers still won't do anything out of the ordinary, because it's unnecessary.
Locke and Xia Xi walked between the cities of France and felt the flavor of a town in a foreign country. Xia Qian had never been to a big city like France City before, and she was even more curious about big cities than Locke. It's just that there was no prosperous scene on the street at this time, and the few shops were also opened by the caravans of Locke's camp and the Baron of Kashier's camp, and they only sold food.
This kind of shop accepts everything, jewelry, coins, weapons and armor picked up on the battlefield can be exchanged for food, and the food is only eaten by a kind of briquettes. This food has a black surface with carbon-colored particles, so it is called a briquettes
. If the bran and chestnut cakes are made from the husks of grains, then the briquettes are made from the bottom of the pan after the bran and chestnut cakes are made. This thing can't even look down on mice, but at this time, it was swooned by the Charlois.
Locke had eaten coal briquettes, and after eating it, his throat was dry and astringent, and his throat was smoking. If he ate too much, he would have a stomachache. He had no nutrition, and if he ate it for a few days, his limbs would be weak. If chestnut cakes sometimes cameo for the horses' food, briquettes are a must, unless you want the weak horses in the army to be immobile.
The Charlois are not fools, but they can't help it, especially the "city people" like them. In the countryside like Giza, people can still find food in the fields and in the woods, but In the city, you can't find anything to eat except a yard with a few fruit trees.
Most of the businessmen in their camp who sold briquettes knew Locke and smiled at Locke as a greeting. As for the shop on Baron Kashier's side, one of the people watching the scene happened to be Sean who was drinking with Locke that day.
"Brother Locke, why are you free to come here?" Sean was teaching a refugee a lesson. He was probably starving and robbing food.
Locke is indeed a strange squadron leader. Other squadron leaders usually practice or have fun at their own residence, or they go to the baron or other squadron leaders to walk around. Only Locke seems to have nothing to do, if not on the street all day. Hanging out with lower-level soldiers, or just wandering around.
In Jerson's words, "Locke is still young after all and has not adapted to the life that a squadron leader should have."
In the words of Master Zoro, "Locke likes to be lively."
But only Uncle Yoshak said it most accurately, "Locke is using his own abilities to develop." This is too evil, and few people who have heard it understand it.
Locke has been away all year round and rolled around in the dead at the age of fourteen. He wants to live a better life than anyone else and enjoy it more than anyone else. But the perennial life could not help but give him a deep sense of urgency. He wants to do everything to develop himself.
The rest of the squadron leaders chose to go up, climb up, win over those of the same level, and cling to more advanced ones. Although Locke understands these things, he has rarely contacted them before, and he has not yet adapted to this state. But he was not discouraged and chose another path.
He believes that he can be the team leader now, and no matter how bad he is in the future, he will not be too miserable. It is useless to himself now, what about in the future? Don't deny the worth of anyone.
So he mingled with the squad leader who was not his own squadron, and even had a few good friendships with the squad leader under the Baron Kashir. So he chose the underworld forces in Giza town that no one could look up to. Although there is less money to be honored now, what about in the future? The town of Giza is a major traffic road, and he does not believe that this town will not develop.
"Come out and have a look." Locke said, hugging Xia Qian's waist.
"This is my sister-in-law, right? Brother Locke, you have a good eye." After Sean finished speaking, he called to a caravan guy behind him, "Dake, where's the silver bracelet your boy received yesterday? Take it out for your sister-in-law."
After a clever boy agreed, he ran out of the caravan and handed it to Locke respectfully. After playing with it, Locke gave it to Xia Qian, who couldn't hold back her excitement. This was her first piece of jewelry and the most precious one.
To tell the truth, it is indeed a fine product, and it is a little better than the other things that were dug out from the box of Erdao dealer Kebi that day. Locke patted Sean on the shoulder.
Xia Qian had long been envious of the jewelry of Grace and others who lived in the same hospital. The sapphire on Grace's neck and the gold bracelet on Lafite's wrist were all so exquisite to her.
Xia Qian happily played with the bracelet in her hand, and Locke felt that he had treated her badly. Locke remembered the bracelet and earrings he got from the two dealers that day, which he planned to give to his sister in the future. Xia Qian likes it, give it to her first.
Since Xia Qian already had a bracelet, Locke took out the pair of earrings from his arms and handed them to Xia Qian.
"Do you like it?" Locke put the earring in Xia Qian's hand.
If the silver bracelet is a noble in jewelry, then this earring is a royal in jewelry. Elegant arcs and exquisite diamonds make up this pair of earrings.
"I like it!" Xia Qian kissed Locke excitedly, not caring about the eyes of the people around her. She felt more and more that choosing this younger brother was the right choice.
