"Hey, old Locke, why are you in such a hurry to go home?" From far away, a loud voice came from a small butler of the caravan, "Come, come, have a drink with me today!" The horse came over in a frenzy.

Old Locke knew him, his name was Bruce. This was a small butler who followed the caravan and mixed with oil and water. He was different from the baron who managed the caravan, and the stewards who joined the caravan with other big families. There are many such small butlers in the caravan. They are all doing errands in Huhe Xiaolou. Calling him a steward is to flatter him. Such petty stewards don’t have much real power, but when they do some small business that buys and sells, the stewards in the caravan don’t care too much. Because, since they can mix in the caravan as small stewards, everyone has one or two backstages, or the captain's cousin, or the businessman's nephew, the stewards just need to take care of their own one-third of an acre of land, and they rarely take care of others. .

Of course, Bruce's backstage is not a small role. His uncle is Henry, the fat man who helped Locke put Xia Xi into the barracks and promised to help Locke build a shield. The real steward of a caravan like Henry would of course not accompany the caravan back to his hometown to go back to Kaidoqi. At present, when it comes to reaping the fruits of victory in a war, time is money. Henry led the caravan to lead the goods in Peters. After venting, he immediately followed most of the caravans back to the front line. Although the front line was still chaotic, there were still wars in many places, but there was gold everywhere.

As for a small manager like Bruce, he was sent back to his hometown by Henry. Although he could stay away from the war and even go home to meet his relatives, the merchants in the army, like the soldiers, always had their heads on their belts. Those who make money have long put their life and death aside. Dele is their lifelong goal. If they can continue to stay on the front line and make a fortune, the ghosts are willing to come back, but after all, they are the real stewards. I can only listen to this uncle and go back to my hometown obediently.

Although Bruce is young and has a low position, he has good vision and can communicate well. Everyone in the caravan can talk to each other, and because this guy is sent back to his hometown by his uncle all the year round, he has a good relationship with the captains of the small and medium-sized villages and towns. The relatives are familiar. Locke was promoted to the team captain last year, which is the hometown of Locke notified by this guy.

Old Locke looked at the person who brought good news to their family last year, and Old Locke said with a flattering smile, "It's Mr. Bruce, I came back early enough this time."

It has to be early. Mine Town is the most remote town in Kaidoqi, and there are many mountains and rocks, and the road is difficult and dangerous. Generally, it is the last stop of the caravan. This time, Mine Town ranked first in the caravan's itinerary. Two, second only to the castle of Baron Kaidozi, as for the reason, it is in front of you.

In the past, when Bruce faced the relatives of the squad leader, he could still pretend, because although the squad leader was also a leader, he was stronger than ordinary soldiers. After a bad battle, there would always be a squad leader who died or disappeared. The little man in the convoy is not the least bit bad. Although he is on the same level as the squad leader, he also has the capital to be proud of. But not now, standing in front of him are the parents and sister of a squadron leader, he must maintain enough respect, if any gossip spreads out, it reaches the ears of the Lord Locke, not to say anything else, just His uncle couldn't get around him.

"Uncle Locke, you are joking, how can I be called an adult, I have good news for you this time!" Bruce laughed.

"Oh? What good news?" Old Locke, Tia, and Leah all looked at Bruce curiously. In their hearts, little Locke's safety was the best news.

Bruce raised his brows and said proudly, "Your son, Lord Locke, was promoted to the squadron commander by the baron last month!"

"Squadron leader?!" It wasn't the three of Old Locke who spoke, but the townspeople of Mining Town who heard the caravan arriving one after another. "Isn't that the same level as the mayor!" The sour taste of envy that cannot be dissolved.

"Of course." Bruce laughed.

Old Locke was shocked by what Bruce said, and stayed there not knowing what to say. Tia wasn't much better. She didn't care about how important Locke was, but she was satisfied knowing that her son was safe. In addition to Locke's promotion, she was both happy and relieved. She only felt that she had a good baby. son. Leia was much calmer, but her eyes also showed a different color, and she couldn't find Bruce next to him.

In the end, it was the mayor who came forward, "Let's spread out, spread out, and let the caravan enter the town." The people who came out of the town one after another blocked the road that was not wide, and the caravan was stuck there. No way, although the town elder Billy drank a lot last night, but he is also a person who has experienced the wine market. He woke up early this morning, just when he heard the caravan return, and hurriedly dressed and walked to the town entrance to greet him.

Old Billy also heard what Bruce said just now, that the little boy of the old Locke family was promoted to the squadron captain by the baron? I'm afraid I didn't wake up, old Billy patted his fat face. After sobering up, I realized that this was a fact, and I happily accepted it. If he had heard the news ten or twenty years ago, he might have been jealous, or he might have been unwilling to accept a little guy who was a whole generation younger than him and his own level, but the 40-year-old old Billy, as a half-interceptor. People who have come to earth have already seen through the world, and some are just the pride of the same town.

He must not be proud. As far as he knows, there are only four squadrons in the Baron's army, which correspond to the four towns under the Baron's rule. Each town has two squadron captains, both for balance and convenience of management. Now Little Locke He was also promoted to squadron captain. If the other two squadron captains are all right, it means that they have three squadron captains in one town. Speaking of which, his old Billy's face is also better than the other three town mayors. Much grown up.

But to be on the safe side, when old Billy saw the congratulations and greetings from the surrounding townspeople surrounding the old Locke family, he quietly pulled a hand of Bruce, "Little Bruce, tell me, nothing happened to Joschak and Karl. Bar."

Bruce said to old Billy with a smile, "Uncle Billy, Uncle Josak and Uncle Carl are in good health. They want you to keep good wine for them. When the war is over, I will ask you to drink."

When old Billy heard this, he was relieved, smiled and said to Bruce, "Tell them, my old Billy has saved them a batch of wine every year, for four years, when they come back, I will invite the whole town to go out. The lads have no problem drinking!"

Bruce smiled and said, "That's good, then my uncle and I will come and have a drink." Bruce and his uncle Henry are not from Mining Town, they are the merchant family in the baron's castle, that is, people from the city.

"No problem!" Old Billy waved his hand.

Mine Town has ushered in the dark night again. Although today's night is not as lively as yesterday, for some people, this night is even more wonderful.

For example, the old Locke family, for the old Locke family to survive on the dangerous front line, is a hope they dare not ask for. Ya is talking about her little Locke for a week, and Leah is very proud of her younger brother.

Now that Locke has been promoted to squadron captain again, isn't this the same level as the mayor? The three generations of the Locke family are civilians. When did such a big man come out, what Old Locke thought at this moment was to go home quickly and go to the back mountain to tell his father, his grandfather, and all the deceased relatives, tell this good information.

It's a pity that Old Locke was disappointed. The small businessmen and rich people in the town entangled Old Locke, some of them flattered, some were ingratiating, and some even proposed marriages. Not only did they introduce their daughters to Locke, but there were also a few who introduced their own daughters to Locke. The young talents at home brought them over and gave the old Locke and his wife long eyes. This was because they fell in love with Leah.

It's ridiculous, there are no young talents in the town now, the young people who have the ability have gone to war, and the people who are left are either the old, the weak, the sick or the wine bags and rice bags. With one or two money from the father's generation, they escaped the baron's conscription order, the old man. Although Locke and Tia are just ordinary civilians, they don't understand everything. Although they once expected to put their daughter and son into a wealthy family, it is different now. Little Locke is doing so well now, so they will not easily decide. The marriage of the next son and daughter.

Not only the Locke family is busy, but the mayor is also busy. There used to be only a few powerful and powerful families in the town. If they had to be subdivided, they were the mayor and the garrison captain. The secretary was at the highest level; the sheriff, the tax officer The people with small official positions are in the second rank; the rich and merchants are in the third rank; the common people are in the fourth rank. Now Locke has been promoted to the squadron commander on the front line. In the future, when the war is over, he will at least be a garrison captain when he comes back. He is even more likely to join the baron's private army and hold a high position, so as to lead his relatives to live in the baron's castle. Therefore, the mayor needs to make some preparations at this time, such as summoning tax officials, sheriffs and other subordinates to discuss the preferential policies for the Locke family, or to collect less tax, or to send one or two idlers to help the Locke family to farm, although all It's a small thing, but it's the things that move people the most. It's not unreasonable that the mayor's position should be re-elected for three generations in a family.

The liveliness of Mine Town for two consecutive nights seems to have brought back the popularity that has been lacking in recent years. Everyone in the town is looking forward to their husbands, sons or brothers. Like Locke, they can not only live safely on the front line And he can also be promoted as a baron. Perhaps this is one of the few times in the past few years that most of the residents of Mine Town have been full of hope for two nights.

Locke wielded a leather whip and rode the warhorse he named Blue under him. The surrounding soldiers marched neatly, the flag fluttered, and the next stop was Bimore City, which had already passed since Locke and the others left Wallier City. For three days, during this period, they kept going around the Bering Mountains. In order to arrive at Bimore City on time with the rest of the troops, they did not stop all the way.
