The Rise of the Grassroots Rider

Chapter 18 Locke’s Squadron

The path of cultivation is not that easy. Every promotion to a higher level is a qualitative improvement. The high-level knight attendant is three levels higher than Locke. No wonder Knight Will always has a faint contempt for Locke and others. This is the suppression of strength. Locke knows that the middle-level knights and attendants can face the impact of ten cavalry alone, and the high-level knights and attendants can withstand it alone. Housing half a squadron of cavalry? Locke couldn't help but shudder at the thought.

"Actually, there is another way to speed up cultivation..." Uncle Yoshak suddenly looked around cautiously and whispered to Locke. "There are demonized creatures in some larger forests. The eagle's fighting spirit is wind-based fighting spirit. If we can catch the wind-type demonized creatures, their blood and meat will be good for us, and it can also speed up the training of fighting spirit."

"Huh?" Locke suddenly woke up.

Uncle Yoshak continued, "Before, several of our squadron leaders found a demonized rabbit in a valley. It was of the wind type. After catching it, we divided it equally. The effect must be almost the same as that of a potion. My fighting spirit The seeds also grew larger after that time.”

"Don't think too simplistically. The demonized rabbit is about the same size as a hyena and can spray wind blades. It's not that easy to hunt." Uncle Yoshak added.

But this is also a way to become stronger. Locke began to plan which woods to go to in the future to look for opportunities. Of course, the premise was to bring Uncle Yoshak and the others with him. I think they would be willing to go together.

Uncle Yoshak began to add knowledge to Locke. Demonized creatures generally refer to animals that have understood superficial magic, and their strength is about the same as that of entry-level knights and attendants. The low-level servants correspond to low-level monsters. Once the demonized creatures cross the threshold of monsters, they will not be so easy to deal with. They will have a certain degree of wisdom and will no longer be in the category of beasts.

Correspondingly, mid-level servants correspond to mid-level magical beasts, and high-level knights correspond to high-level magical beasts. "Our battalion once encountered a mid-level monster. It was Knight Will who chased it away. It's just that you ordinary soldiers don't know about it." Uncle Yoshak said.

"Why don't you kill it? Demonized creatures are so valuable. Not all monsters are treasures." Locke said puzzled.

"It's not that simple. Although the mid-level monsters of Warcraft correspond to the mid-level knight attendants, the monsters are generally huge and have great innate strength. The monster we met that time was a bear type of monster, and it was also an earth type. It had rough skin and thick flesh. We It is difficult for the wind-type eagle's fighting spirit to harm it." Uncle Yoshak scolded with a smile, "So when you encounter a demonized creature in the future, don't just rush forward stupidly. It's still a matter of time whether you can fight or not."

"Got it." Locke nodded in agreement.

As they spoke, the two walked to the green tent in the center of the military camp. This was where the baron and all the squadron leaders ate. The place is spacious, and there are no less than three teams patrolling around it. Locke once particularly yearned for this place, and now that he has really reached the status of being able to eat here, he feels a lot for a while.

"What are you doing standing around? Go in." Uncle Yoshak patted Locke and went in first.

After Locke followed in, he found that there were already nine people in the camp including himself, all the squadron captains of the four squadrons and Will Knight. Because it was Locke's first time to eat here, all the squadron leaders present chatted with Locke in good faith, and Locke also got along with these squadron leaders. Jerson came earlier than Locke, and of course he was praised by the other squadron leaders. But he felt that Locke seemed to be more popular.

When Baron Kedozi, Master Sauron and the baron's butler arrived, lunch officially began. The baron butler clapped his hands, and several maids and servants filed in. The good-looking maid filled a glass of wine for the few people sitting there with ease, and the servants meticulously passed on one exquisite food after another.

"This is a specialty wine from Peters Territory in the occupied territory. It is not high in alcohol and is fragrant. You can drink a glass with every meal." Uncle Charlot said in a low voice. Since Locke was sitting at the end of the table, Charlotte also moved over to take care of Locke, so it didn't seem out of the blue for the two of them to whisper.

"The war is about to begin, and we can only eat such exquisite food in a stable period. Cherish it." Uncle Charlo said without saying a word.

Although it was his first time to eat such a high-standard meal, Locke still seemed orderly, not overly surprised or nervous. During the dinner, the Baron asked Locke about his life with some concern, and Locke also expressed his loyalty and gratitude.

"I heard that your parents are still alive and you have an older sister?" Baron Kedozi asked. Locke serves as the captain of the 100th person in a squadron, and he is considered a high-ranking person under him. He has the secret information of Locke that has long been taken away from him.

"Yes, sir" Locke replied honestly.

"I will ask the territory to take more care of your family. Work hard young man, you are still young." Baron Kedozi said.

The conversation between the two was not deep, but this was also Locke's first conversation with the Baron, and Locke was quite excited.

At the end of lunch, the Baron announced the appointments of Jerson and Locke. Although everyone present had already known it, but it was officially said from the Baron's mouth that the election for squadron leader was finally settled.

The attack on France City also became Locke's first combat mission after being promoted to squadron leader.

Two days later, in the evening, in the tent located in the northwest corner of the camp, Captain Jerson of the 4th Squadron, Vice Captain Locke and the remaining squad captains of the 4th Squadron were discussing here.

"All of you here are people who will fight side by side in the future. Let's introduce ourselves to each other." As the squadron leader, Jerson is the person with the highest position at this time. As expected of an old man, Jerson was neither cold nor affectionate towards his subordinates. It was Locke's agreement that he should preside over the meeting in advance.

"My name is Gulas, captain of the first team." said a strong man with a thick beard.

"Raffles, captain of the second team." This is a young man with a gloomy face and a hooked nose.

"Bender, Team 3."

"Morrit, Team 4"

…………

The appointments in the battalion have been issued, and the original 3rd and 4th squadrons have been merged. The captain of the 4th squadron took away all his original elites before leaving. The Baron had already expected that this would happen, and ordered each squadron to Transferring grassroots backbones to the Fourth Squadron.

Locke and Jerson also knew that they both parachuted into the Fourth Squadron. They would rather not use the old backbone. It would be best to absorb fresh blood, which would be more convenient for them to control.

The squadron leaders at this time were all newcomers selected by them. Some were transferred from other squadron leaders, some were promoted by them because of their ability and strength, and some were promoted through other means. The tribute that Locke received in the past two days was 20 silver deles. He had never had so much money on his hands.

Of course, there can't be too many people using the back door, otherwise trouble will occur. He and Jerson also booked a squad leader position for such people. Don't think these people got the squad leader position through dishonorable means, but this It is also a type of their strength. Behind the squad leader Locke gave him was a powerful business family in the baron territory. Even the Baron's caravan family had a hand in it.

Locke's original team also came over. Only Hans and Kane in his team were qualified to serve as team captains. Because Kane was a scout and his own strength was weaker than that of Hans, the sword and shield player, Locke appointed Hans as the team leader. Captain of the seventh team.

There are 10 teams, and Jerson and Locke each appointed 5 teams. Jerson has also learned about Locke's relationship with Master Zoro in the past two days, so he is not proud of being the captain, but instead shares power with Locke. Whenever something happens, we discuss it with Locke.

"We are about to leave the city of France. I believe everyone has received the news." Jerson said unhurriedly, "Because our squadron has just been formed, we are in the third batch during the siege... …”

Compared with battles in the plains, siege warfare puts greater pressure on the attacker. In siege warfare, the attacker generally attacks in four batches. In particular, the teams that attack in the first batch suffer the most losses, and then decline. The fourth batch of attacks is the general attack. At this time, the city gate will be broken, and the cavalry will rush in and go straight to the city lord's palace.

Locke's squadron's attack in this third batch should have encountered the lowest resistance, but they must be responsible for occupying the city gate, otherwise the cavalry will not be able to enter the city, and the inside and outside of the city will not be able to merge. This attack will either be extremely costly, Or the siege fails. In short, their squadron's task this time is not small. This is their squadron's first battle, and both Locke and Jerson are ready to fight him well.
