The Rise of the Grassroots Rider

Chapter 15 Election

After a long time it was finally Locke's turn, starting with a vote from Lieutenant Commander Monty. "I think the lad is still too young and should be practiced for two more years." After saying that, he stopped making a sound. Monte didn't know if it was an illusion, he felt that young master Sauron intentionally or unintentionally glanced at him, a bad feeling arose. However, he didn't pay too much attention to it, maybe it was just an illusion!

Then it was the turn of the first squadron lieutenant, he was no stranger to Locke, he first met Locke at the end of the b****y battle in Gordon's Heights, covered in blood he came to the front of the barracks which was not long ago built, if not for the fact that he was wearing a uniform that was obviously from the Kingdom of Faustian, he might have been killed by the archers before he even got close to the barracks.

At that time, he was still a squad leader who happened to be leading his men to guard the camp gate at that time, Locke brought a young man about the same age as him, and the first thing he said to him who was stationed at the camp gate was "Sir, may I ask if this is the 2nd Brigade of the 2nd Regiment of the Eagle Legion?" Upon receiving an affirmative, Locke fainted. He hurriedly asked his men to take him to the medic, who was favorably impressed with the lad.

Perhaps it was the good karma he had formed at the time, Locke had treated him with respect ever since, greeting him from time to time and often giving him some of the trinkets he had captured. He was very flattered. He remembered the wine and a small silver pendant full of Shiloh's style that Locke had given him two days ago; it wasn't expensive, but the thought was there.

"I think the young man has a sense of responsibility, although a bit younger, but still has the drive, let's agree for the time being" the first squadron vice-captain said so. He also consider the face of Monty, did not say full words, but also expressed his supportive attitude.

Monte this time on the Rock this person some eyes to look at, his vice captain he is familiar with, a trench out of the brotherhood, since he has supported, I think this young man must be outstanding.

The next about Shak, Karl are on the Rock expressed support, the crowd is not surprised, their team out of the team can not be chilled their own team's heart. However, this is to ask for the center captain is not too simple, we must know that this is only three votes, even the two before Locke also has a person to obtain three votes, and the favorite candidate to take Rome and Jelsen has not yet begun to vote.

"I think Locke's management skills are still lacking and should be worked on a bit more." The last vice-captain of the fourth squadron also expressed his opinion, clearly voting negatively. At this point the voting should also end, if it was only three votes Locke's chances were slim.

"I think Locke is good, leadership strength is not low, a squadron leader is more than enough." Just as Monty was about to start the voting for the next person, Young Master Sauron, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke up.

The tent was plunged into a brief calm, eventually it was Yorchak who was the first to react, echoing "Yes, this young man Locke I have watched grow up, his abilities in all aspects are not bad, young master Sauron you are right." The remaining others also finally reacted and all said "Yes, Locke's strength is quite strong." "Leadership is not low, their squad's death rate is the lowest in our battalion." "This young man is not bad." Even the people who voted against him before started praising Locke.

It seems that Locke is hitching a ride on the line of Young Master Sauron, Yorchak thought in his mind. Not only Joschak, but also several people here thought the same thing in their hearts. Baron Kedozi looked at his son in surprise, his son did not participate in this type of voting in the past. Is this Locke truly talented, or. The Baron looked at his son in thought. It was time to exercise him as well, Baron Caddozzi's mind was made up.

After a not-so-long commotion, the voting continued. So far Locke had gained the most votes, at four. For the next vote, each of the six squadron leaders had a scale in their hearts because of Young Master Sauron's participation. Since Young Master Sauron had elected Locke, Locke must have taken one of the two squadron leader slots. So for the next vote, no more than two people could get more than four votes. Young Master Solon's lack of participation in the next three votes reinforced the group's realization.

Although this was a more democratic and fair voting system for the meeting proposed by the Baron, everyone here could be said to be the Baron's vassals, and more than likely the vassals of Young Master Sauron in the future. True fairness didn't exist, and since their young master had decided on Locke as a person, they were just trying to find a way to concur.

The final result of the vote was four votes for Locke, four votes for Gelson, and only three votes for poor Nerima, the rest of them not to mention. If it wasn't for young master Sauron's meddling, Gelson, whose seniority, strength and leadership were still good, wouldn't have only four votes, and it was even more unlikely that Nerima would only have a measly three votes, but since it was the way it was, all of them had no choice but to accept it.

"Then Gelson and Rocco will fill in for the vacant squadron leader position." Baron Kedozi finally sealed the deal with a single gavel. Baron Kaidozi calmly looked at the rest of the people in the tent, the aura practiced by the perennial high position pressed everyone to not dare to speak out loud, this has nothing to do with strength, it's simply the baron's personal charm. "Next to announce another thing, the third and fourth squadron merged into the third squadron, each squadron to draw veterans to the fourth squadron, Jelsen for the fourth squadron captain, Locke for the fourth squadron vice captain."

After saying that, Baron Kedozi glanced at Solon, his words changed, and in a slightly calmer tone, he turned his head to Solon and said "From now on, you'll be the one to lead the 4th Squadron, and the position of the cavalry's vice-captain is also concurrently, so don't let me down." It was only at this point that the rest of the people could feel a trace of emotion from the formerly cold and unfathomable Baron, it was the Baron's fatherly love for his son.

"Yes, father." Young Master Solon bowed his head slightly and appointed.

"Then, the meeting is adjourned. Will, you will be the one to implement the transmission of fighting qi for the newly promoted squadron captains, and the arrangement for the next attack on Phalanx City will be held at noon tomorrow." The Baron stood up and said.

"Yes, my lord." Aside from Young Master Solon, the remaining seven all stood up and respectfully replied.

The meeting had already ended, and the squadron captains as well as Young Master Solon all left the tent, leaving only Baron Kedozi and the old butler behind him who had not said a word since the beginning of the meeting. The guards at the door came in, moved the conference table to one side and then respectfully retreated, the two maids of honor also came in, added a cup of tea in front of the Baron, then bent down and gently retreated.

The baron, who was already in his forties, was getting more and more fond of drinking this noble drink of the royal capital, tea. Drinking tea could allow the Baron to relax his long strained mood. Baron Kedozi sipped the tea in his hand, not knowing where his thoughts had gone. After a long time, he finally put down the tea in his hand. "John, you have followed me for so long, do you regret it?" The Baron vocalized and asked.

"The old slave was favored by the Baron, from a slave to this day to be able to serve the Baron as your butler, serving the Baron around, no regrets." The butler behind the Baron said.

"Alas, twenty years have passed in a flash, the children have grown up." The Baron lamented, this outwardly majestic, cold, and unfathomable Baron Kedozi was also a father. "I won't treat you poorly if you, a middle-ranked Knight Squire level powerhouse, condescend to be my butler." The baron continued.

"Old slave, thank you for the Baron's favor." The old butler said, and knelt down.

"Get up, after so many years, you still haven't changed those mundane manners, don't toss your body when you're old, always kneeling is not good for your body." Baron Kedozi said sympathetically.

"The old slave's body is still fine, still able to protect the Baron and share the Baron's worries." The old butler bowed his head and said.

The Baron smiled and turned to the butler behind him and asked, "John, which of your two sons do you prefer? Is it that little boy George from the cavalry squadron or Warner from the quartermaster battalion? That little guy George is already at the peak of entry level Knight Squire, isn't he, if he has the chance to go further, his future is unlimited."

"George does have talent, if things go well he could be a low ranked knight squire by the age of thirty." The old butler said.

"This is just the right time to add another fierce general to my Caduceus." Low-ranking knight squire is already not bad combat power, baron Kaidoqi's men so far there is only a high-ranking knight squire level Will Knight, middle-ranking knight squire level old butler Henry, low-ranking squire only Monte a person, the rest of the cultivation of the fighting spirit of the squadron leader are still entry-level squire.

However, the Baron himself is also a low rank Knight Squire, in the domestic Caddozi collar Baron also left a low rank Knight Squire for deterrence, because of the drought, the domestic mountain thieves are all over the place, the army is at war, there is no time to deal with it, so leaving a low rank Knight Squire level powerhouse is very necessary.

This is all the high-level combat power that the baron has cultivated over the years, a high-ranking a middle-ranking including the baron himself including three junior knight squire, this is already a more terrifying force, to make a comparison, with the baron cooperating with the baron Kashir baron the same baron, Kashir baron revealed the power of only a middle-ranking two low-ranking knight squire, and Caddozi baron is more than a chip short.

A high-ranking knight squire has the strength to defeat or even kill three middle-ranking knight squires, so the light Weir Knight alone can kill all of Baron Kashir's high-ranking combat power. With this, it was clear that the Baron's military strength was strong.

"Warner is also a resourceful young man, and he takes care of that part of the quartermaster camp post very well." Baron Kedozi then commented on the old butler's second son.

"Eh, Warner is a good boy." When talking about Warner, the old butler's ancient wellless face finally changed, and hearing the baron praise Warner, the old butler Henry revealed a hint of a smile.

How perceptive Baron Caddozzi was, he instantly realized that his old butler John was even more fond of his second son. Baron Kedozi curiously asked "Henry, it is obvious that George is more accomplished, why do you prefer Warner?"

The old butler was silent for a long time and replied "Because he is more filial."

Baron Caddozzi was speechless after hearing this.
