Chapter 696: War 1

Britcht, who was annoyed by Locke's words, knocked off Locke's fingers that poked her forehead, and then got up and left angrily.

"Boom!"

The door was slammed against the threshold, and the loud sound proved that she was angry.

This temper is really short-tempered!

Locke pursed her lips and sat where she was, she just said that she couldn't tell herself every day, and it would be fine the next time she appeared.

But the knock on the door immediately rang again, and Locke looked up to see Hudson walking in.

"What's going on with Bridget?" Hudson looked at Locke in confusion. "She seemed angry."

"Women, there are always a few uncomfortable days every month, just get used to it." Hudson laughed at Locke's reluctant explanation, but he changed his tone and said, "That means Lord Harvey, you don't have an heir of your own..."

Locke raised his hand to cover his face, how embarrassing this thing was!

Could this be something I can have in a hurry?

"With all due respect, my lord, although you are young, the question of the heir should be put on the agenda as soon as possible...."

"Don't talk about Lord Hudson," Locke frustrated his face as he finally explained, "if nothing else, I should be married to Princess Kalia soon." Maybe after the war at Hillsbrad... Maybe... Probably... Probably!? ”

"That's good!" Hudson nodded in satisfaction, but he immediately realized what he was here for, so he continued, "Someone has been sent to contact Marklyde and ask him to tell Aiden Pernord." I am sure that he will give us a satisfactory answer to take the necessary measures for the old nobles of Alterac who have left from here. ”

"I'm not worried about that," said Locke, who had sat Hudson next to him, "and that Sir Mormont had surprised me the other day, and my previous omissions had been filled. ”

Locke handed the three title deeds to Hudson, made him look at him, and said, "Which of us Legion Commander do you think will stay in the Alterac Mountains for long?!" He needs to be able to judge the situation, be able to adapt to the situation, the focus is to supervise Aiden, and not be called by him as a gun. ”

Without much hesitation, Hudson blurted out a name, "Paul Alikin, Commander of the Third Legion." I think he's best suited to garrison the Alterac Mountains. His Third Legion has long been on the lookout for the undead in the royal city of Lordaeron at the entrance to the Haru Gorge. ”

"In terms of qualifications and experience, no one is more suitable than him."

Yes, Paul is the old wing captain of the Fifth Legion under his command, and his actual position should indeed be moved and adjusted.

"If that's the case, we need to adjust our military deployment." Locke got up and pulled the rope at the map, and a mixed map of Hillsbrad and the Alterac Mountains fell down the wall.

Hudson followed Locke to the map, and he gave a new deployment at a glance.

"The Third Legion is stationed in place, and there will be no need for four legions in Hillsbrad in the future. The First Legion is sure to return to Iva to defend the city circle. Give the Sixth Legion to Paul, and let him take some more civilians from Iva to clear the territory. Alterac does need our forces to be present to deter Aiden. ”

"There are coalition troops in Nanhai Town, and in principle we don't need to garrison them. However, in order to show Lordaeron's strength, there is still a legion stationed there. The Eighth Legion could be stationed in Southsea Town, and the Seventh Legion could be stationed in Tarummir to hold the rear of Paul's Sixth Legion. ”

"Also, Lord Harvey. The presence of a stronghold in the Alterac Mountains is significant, and I think it is important to adjust Paul's rank and allow him some autonomy in the Alterac Mountains. ”

"I know that," Locke nodded at the map, "to promote him to Major General and allow him to recruit troops in the Alterac Mountains." But he could not recruit more than two regiments. If there are more soldiers, then he will find a way to raise them himself! ”

The two looked at the map and discussed for a long time, and Locke suddenly smiled and said, "Speaking of which, the battle in the Hillsbrad Hills is not over yet, and we will think about the future here." ”

Hudson smiled slightly, "Don't you believe your soldiers?" ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent!

※※※

It was like red flowers blooming on the green meadows, and red tents were spread one after another on the gentle slopes of the surrounding hills. Knights in chain mail rode horses outside the tent camp to drive away the wandering poor who watched and stopped.

Most of these paupers wanted to take something from the dead after the war, and some of them were scouts for the enemy. However, given that the opponent was Clito's private army, the commander here probably wouldn't have thought he would send scouts to scout.

Most of the knights just drove the men to other places, as long as they didn't show up around the camp.

Before dawn today, the whole camp came alive in the dark. The logistics soldiers went to the nearby river early to fetch river water, boiled it in a jar for a long time, added dried meat pieces and other mushrooms to boil in the pot, and added some spices from time to time to make the contents of the pot more flavorful.

When the silent camp was startled by the sound of trumpets, the camp began to boil in earnest. One by one, the neatly dressed and sleepy soldiers walked out of the tent of the squad, and after a brief confusion, everyone quickly ran to the logistics soldiers in their respective areas. Holding their special lunch box, they took a box full of steaming broth from the spoon in the hand of the logistician.

Break up the dry wheat cakes they carried with them and throw them in the lunch box and stir them until they soften and swell, and then the soldiers take a big bite of the lunch box.

Soon, a message spread among all the soldiers. Lord Harvey came to the front, right in their camp.

Some people are happy about this news, and some people naturally hang it high and unconcerned. Of course, most of the people who are indifferent to this are those who have been in the army for some years.

Their passion and enthusiasm had been worn out over the years of military life, and perhaps they would have been very excited about Locke's arrival when they first joined the Crusaders. But after so many years, they gradually understand a truth.

A nobleman is still a nobleman, no matter how good he is to them, he is still a nobleman, they are people of two worlds. He's good to them, and he just wants to do his best when he needs them!

Of course, they were still sure of the salary of joining the Crusaders. As for the sake of the country .... Let's fool the recruits and the believers of the Light...

"Calitte, do you think we can meet Master Harvey?" A recruit was holding a lunch box in his hand and asking the veteran who was picking his teeth next to him.

The veteran poked his teeth as he comfortably leaned against the forage of the war horses in the camp, "What? Do you still want to lick Lord Harvey's ass? Don't worry, even if you really have the opportunity to lick it, it won't be your turn. ”

"Besides, you have to call the master. Adults are not what you can call. ”

It seemed that he had long been familiar with the old soldier's foul words, and the recruit continued to ask, "I always thought that the old men were in the center of the barracks, watching us go up and fight. ”

Kalit turned his head and patted the recruit on the shoulder, and he laughed and said, "You guessed it, kid. His aristocratic lords will only stand in the center of the army and watch us go up and fight hard! ”

"When you've been in the army for a long time, you'll know that no one really thinks about us. They only think about their bullshit interests. Never think about our lives! ”

"You're not right, if Lord Harvey doesn't stand up, when will we be able to unify Lordaeron?" The recruit asked with some dissatisfaction, "When will we be able to regain our former glory?" ”

"Oh? Does this have anything to do with you? Crowne? Kallett tilted his head and dug into his ears with the stick he picked his teeth, "What about unification?" Continue to let you plough the land for them in the field? Pay them taxes? Make their lives more luxurious? ”

"Cartlet, why do you have such an attitude towards Lord Harvey?" The recruit was a little angry, "You get a salary of 40 silver coins a month, what else are you not satisfied with?" Or can you get that kind of salary somewhere else? ”

"You've been whining! I think that if Master Harvey can make you a sergeant, that's the biggest concern for you! ”

"I gave my life, my life is worth it! Also, you're wrong. Brat. Caliter stood up, he neatly sorted out the chain mail and leather armor on his body, "I'm not dissatisfied with Lord Harvey, I'm dissatisfied with this world!" Why am I the son of a lowly farmer? And they are born nobler than others? ”

Recruit Clone was speechless, isn't this what he was born to be? In desperation, Clone turned his head to look around and said to Kalit, "If your words reach Lord Harvey's ears..."

"Who's going to say? Who would? Kallett swayed his deep index finger from side to side in front of Crown, "No one in the barracks will take this seriously. The officers know that before going to battle, there is no need to pay attention to the gibberish that comes out of the soldiers' mouths! ”

"You're a veteran... It's a sergeant, how can you instill this in me? Clun was visibly dazed, "I don't think I'm wrong..."

"Hmm~ I'm probably the worst person in the Seven Kingdoms of the Human Race," Kalit tried with his shield and one-handed sword in his hand, "I just recognized this shit world..."

The recruits lowered their heads and did not eat.

As if he felt that his words were too serious, Kalit stepped forward and patted the recruit on the shoulder, "Boy, if I were you, I would drink this bowl of soup with horse urine as soon as possible." Because we're going to war soon, we'd better go pee and, I don't want to see you pooping next door to me for a while. ”

"Finally, look at your blank look. I'm a little uneasy in my heart, and I think you'd better follow me and don't get lost on the battlefield. ”
