Knight's Journey

Chapter 10: Chapter 10. Analysis



"Your battalion has the strength of a brigade, the highest officer is Baron Kyle, even the brigadier is a knight under the baron as a captain, so if you want to continue to get a higher position you have to please the baron, military service and so on are not all that the baron can give you if he wants to?" Chassie said.

 

"So I need to play up to Young Master Soren? He is the young master within the territory, and is likely to be the future baronial heir, so if I defect to the 'less powerful' young master now, I'm likely to be appreciated and cultivated by the young master." Caesar was still a little smart, he immediately reacted to the reason why Chassie suggested him to defect to Young Master Soren.

 

"Yes, listening to your introduction I think the most powerful person in your barracks right now is Baron, and down to your First Captain and Young Master Soren." Chassie explained, "Since the Baron and the First Captain are not participating in the election of the Lieutenant Captain, then you should hold onto the thigh of Young Master Soren. And I even think that with this election of the Lieutenant Captain, the Baron is doing it to build up his own squad for Young Master Soren."

 

As expected of someone who had grown up in the city since she was a child, Chassie had a very precise pinch of worldly feelings. Caesar had once heard from Warner that the three and four squadrons might have to be merged into one squadron and then re-established as a new squadron. At that time, Caesar took it as a joke and didn't take it seriously, but after being told by Chassie, it seems to be a real possibility. If a new squadron is established, who will be the head and deputy head of the squadron, and isn't a team without a leadership framework suitable for young master Soren to practise and build up his team?

 

When Caesar thought so, as if he had been enlightened, he excitedly kissed Chassie, and told Chassie about the news of the squadron merger, and Chassie confirmed his idea even more.

 

"Why would the Baron want to build up a team for the eldest young master so early? Besides, it's rumored that it's the Baron's second son who's managing the territory in the country right now." Caesar was still a bit puzzled.

 

"What do you care if you don't understand more?" Chassie gave Caesar a blank look, "What you need to do now is to move up the ladder and make our future life a little better." After all, Chassie is also just an ordinary commoner who grew up in the city, although she is shrewd, but she still doesn't know enough or even dare to know about the affairs of the nobles, the ordinary people in this era are more in awe of the nobles.

 

Caesar does not have any big ambitions, able to give family food and clothing is very satisfied, Chassie's sentence "we" touched him, he embraced Chassie tightly, said "our future days will be very good."

 

Caesar woke up at sunrise the next day, and as for the reason, naturally, it was because the two of them had make love again and again last night when they were in the throes of love. "Wasn't holding it in too long?" Caesar mutter. Slapping his face to clear his head, Caesar strides towards the barracks.

 

Last night Caesar and Chassie discussed, on the defection of the young master Soren, as for what gift to send to the great young master, Chassie suggested that it does not need to be too expensive or extravagant, you're just a small captain can have what good things filial piety, why not just send a gift that meets your status, that is, it can reflect your sincerity, but also can lower your threshold not to engage in those fancy things, so that the young master Soren feel that you are a usable person.

 

Caesar, from the young master's service as the vice-captain of the cavalry squadron as well as his deeds in the battalion, also felt that young master Soren was not a person who focused on materialistic enjoyment, and listened to Chassie's suggestion, as for the chosen gift, it was the kind of wine he drank with Uncle York yesterday, and Chassie said that this kind of wine she also did not have much in her stock anymore, and there were only five bottles left, and that she had to buy some wheat and other raw materials to brew it. This time, he brought two bottles ready to meet young master Soren.

 

Caesar returned to their squad's tent in the camp, which was in disarray, and the noise of the guys could be heard from a long way away, and this time on duty at the entrance of the tent was Peter, a young servant, a young man with a pair of bright eyes, a follower of Jon's, specializing in archery.

 

"Brother Caesar! You're back!" Peter suddenly shouted, but scared Caesar who just walked to the door. Caesar squinted at him, no need to say know what kind of things he was thinking, without saying much, Caesar lifted the curtain of the tent and walked into the tent.

 

"I guess Brother Caesar is probably still playing in that tavern owner's wife's nest ..." Jon's excited shout could be heard from a long distance away, and it seemed that this guy didn't hear Peter's reminder at the door. He is turning his back to the tent door, hand dancing to the other people in the tent to tell his masturbation.

 

Caesar silently walked behind Jon, the other people in the tent playful expression changed, Jon is worthy of being a scout, in the other people's face changed when he also immediately reacted, a vicious dog pounce, fell forward to avoid Caesar's a technique of sweeping the leg. Another loach rolled to the left side, avoiding Caesar's step. Caesar is worthy of having the strength of the second-class soldiers can compete with the first-class soldiers of the strong, just a hasty step, the ground also stirred up a layer of dust, issued a muffled sound.

 

"Wow, big brother you calm down, I'm just fooling around." As soon as Jon looked at Caesar's aura, he knew that the boss was serious, he couldn't beat Caesar, apart from the suppression of strength, which archer do you see that is good at physical combat? He wasn't stupid, he didn't want to be beaten up by his boss for nothing.

 

"Hmmm, count on you not lasting step." Seeing that two moves in a row were dodged by Jon, Caesar didn't pursue him for secretly slandering himself. This guy is a loach, Caesar muttered.

 

"Okay, no more fooling around. After the training in the next few days, Yoder, you take Phil and a few of them to the Green Palm Tavern to town the factory." Caesar instructed to the surrounding squad of brethren, merely dealing with a few ruffians, a third class soldier plus four or five servants would be enough to deal with them.

 

Caesar's words also revealed many meanings, first of all, Caesar let his men go to the tavern in the town to suppress the scene, this has exceeded the energy of a small captain, although he has the strength, but the power is not enough, he can't do whatever he wants, this is a recruiting taboo, which also indirectly reveals Caesar's snobbery for the promotion of the first-class squadron captain.

 

Secondly, the fact that Caesar only ordered to go to the town for a few days also revealed a message that the team might have to depart, and as to where it was going, living in the barracks, everyone more or less had an idea in mind.

 

Finally, it was to go to the Green Palm Tavern to calm down the scene, associated with Caesar did not return all night, this group of soldiers is not difficult to think, their boss and that beautiful boss lady happened something. The boss sent himself to protect his lover, okay, this shows that he did not treat them as an outsider, they must have protected him. This also indirectly brought the cohesion of the squad closer.

 

As for Caesar letting Yoder bring a group of servants to hold down the fort, it wasn't just because they were enough to deal with the punks. Protecting his woman, who wouldn't want to line up the strongest force over there? One is that the battalion still has the inspecting sergeant, he is still a squad leader who can't do too much, and secondly, it's for the purpose of exercising them, most of these servants were added to his squad in the last year, and a year or two ago they were even just ordinary farmers, and the battles they experienced were still not enough, so letting them go to deal with those punks can more or less exercise them a little bit. Don't look at yesterday one of them fought quite hard, that was Caesar and Jon who were beside them, they took the lead and inspired the blood.

 

After living together for so long, the captain outside the words of the meaning of a few old oil understand, just do not understand is fine, the evening chat idle Jon these people will remind some.

 

That's the beauty of Caesar, informing his teammates of some borderline sensitive information ahead of time, both to prepare them for battle ahead of time and to give them confidence in their promotion.

 

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Caesar came to the center of the barracks, this is where the Baron, the First Captain, and Young Master Soren reside, worthy of being the Baron's eldest son, there are at least two squads of soldiers guarding outside of Soren's tent, and that's still the open sentry, and it is believed that quite a number of masters exist in the shadows as well.

 

Asking the soldier who guarded the door to give an announcement to Master Soren, Caesar waited outside the door. This time he came to visit Soren, he came alone, he only brought two bottles of ale packaged in glass bottles, which he carried in his hand. This was something that he and Chassie had discussed long ago, ordinary gifts Soren wouldn't be able to look at, and he didn't have any good gifts, so he might as well bring two bottles of wine over. Wine in the barracks is the best medicine to pull in the relationship, bringing two bottles of wine can not only pull in the relationship between the two, Caesar can pick up the opportunity to show loyalty, but also will not look like he has no etiquette.

 

After the routine search, the same guard who had sent the message returned, and he invited Caesar in. Caesar nodded to him, straightened his clothes a little, and went into the tent.

 

This was Caesar's first time to come to Soren's tent, he had little interaction with Soren before, he only greeted him respectfully when they met in battle or in the barracks. In Caesar's impression, Soren is a strong and easy-going person, as a nobleman, he didn't dislike the ordinary civilians in the barracks, instead, he fought with them, and there is no doubt about Soren's strength, this is a strong person who has learned the fighting energy just like Uncle York and the others, Caesar estimated that with his current ability, he could at most fight with Soren to a draw.

 

This is already a very big deal, people who have not learned fighting energy can fight with people who have acquired fighting energy, this is no less than a challenge to cross the level, of course, this is a bigger reason is that Sauron is a nobleman, moreover, a baron's direct heir, of course, Sauron will be able to acquire the family fighting energy since childhood, however, the baron is certainly not going to put his son in danger, Caesar from the mountain of corpses out of a sea of blood, the strength of the people can match with the people who are in possession of fighting energy, this also makes sense. It makes sense that Caesar's strength from the bloodshed can match that of a man with fighting energy.
