The Rise of the Grassroots Rider

Locke was a private in the Kingdom of Faustian, he started his military service at the age of 14 and he was already a veteran with four years of military service so far.Today he was in a good mood, because it was the day of payday, the kingdom's private soldier had three silver dreidels a month, plus Baron Kedozie's two silver dreidels for his soldiers' private pay, he could get his hands on four silver dreidels, the reason why there was one less was because it was customary that when the state issued the military pay, the military ministry always had to covet a sum of money. Locke can't wait to receive these four silver dreidels, and then ask Lord Baron's merchant caravan to send three of them back to his home town, he hopes that his sister will be able to buy a ribbon that he likes, and his hair will no longer be wrapped in rough linen, and he also hopes that his parents will be able to eat one or two meals of white bread for the next month, their health is already very poor.With one silver dreidel remaining, Locke remained behind to buy drinks for his men, being the captain of a 10-man squad as a minor powerful private. He knew that his men were not doing well either, with only two silver drachmas a month arriving for the third class, and only one for the servants, they needed to break their money into copper drachmas to spend, both to subsidize their families and to spend on themselves, which was simply not enough.In order to make the combat more united, and in order to have so few men who were loyal to him and could take so many hits for him in critical moments, Locke never counted on treats. His ten-member squad, there are five third class soldiers, five servants, these guys in addition to three are two months ago to add to their squad, the rest are in the fight together at least half a year of brothers, most of them are the same age as Locke, but the military age is smaller than Locke, are only enlisted in the army for a year or two years of the new recruits egg, most of them admire their squad leader Locke from the bottom of his heart, because their big brother Locke is both generous and righteous, every time after leading the ring always take the brothers to have a drink, after the battle is also the most important thing is that they are more or less taken care of by Locke, a small care, which makes their little captain Locke, a small care.Generous and righteous, every time after the ring always take the brothers to have a drink, after the battle is also, the main thing is that they are more or less in the battle by Locke's care, a small care, so that the members of their squad after the initial battle rarely attrition, with the fight again and again, their squad members more and more fit, the survival rate of the squad is also more and more high. This was also relatively famous throughout the military camp, no matter if it was a new recruit or a veteran, as long as they were younger than Locke or similar to him, they would all call him, Big Brother Locke.This was the respect for the strong, besides, it was said that Locke had killed quite a few barbarians from the Kingdom of Charlotte in that battle two months ago, and his merit was about to accumulate to the rank of first class soldier. Locke walked to the Quartermaster Camp, which did more than just hand out pay, it also served as a trading ground in the barracks, where you could buy everything you wanted.Fragrant ale?A sharp iron longsword?An enduring warhorse?Or a beautiful woman.It's all here, and Baron Caddozzi takes care of his soldiers' needs.But only if you had the money.Or you have the power.As a private, Locke's capital may be just up to par here, but he rarely splurges.Not just him, in the barracks, basically soldiers with families and family burdens won't come here to spend money, not because the soldiers have strong self-control, because they can't afford to splurge with their pockets of silver dreidels. "Hey, Rock!Your rates!"There was a rough roar, and a big man with a big waist and a long beard threw Locke a bag of money, which Locke opened and saw that it contained three silver dreidels in shining silver and a hundred copper dreidels. "Uncle Joshak, going for a drink this afternoon?"Locke said to the bearded man with a smile. "How many times have I told you to call me lieutenant in the barracks!You brat!You want to get rid of me with one cup?At least two cups!"Uncle Yorshak laughed and cursed at Locke. Locke invited Uncle Joshak to drink not only to be polite, but also for the matter about his rank promotion, his battle merit is about to reach the first class, the first class is a dividing line for all the soldiers, those who reach the first class, the baron will grant the gong method of cultivating fighting qi, which is the channel to promote to the knight rank, and the first class, at least can be a lieutenant and vice-captain, the veteran first class, such as Uncle Shayok, is directly beingappointed as a squadron leader. Uncle Shayok's promise to Locke's request was also not only to take care of his face, he thought that this was a young man with potential, and Uncle Shayok and Locke came from the same town, Mining Town.In fact, most of the people in their brigade came from one place, Kedozi Territory.It can be said that Locke enlisted in the army these four years Uncle Joshak gave him a lot of help, from the time he started as a servant until he became a private now.Uncle Joshak can also be said to have watched Locke grow up over the years.He is also willing to help this newborn, this time drinking, he is ready to mention a little bit of Locke, give him guidance to the door to promote the first-class soldiers.
