Chapter 15 Election

After a long time, it was finally Locke's turn. Captain Mont was the first one to vote. "I think this boy is still too young. He should train for another two years." Then he stopped talking. Mont didn't know if it were for an illusion or not. He felt that Young Master Solon glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally. A bad feeling suddenly arose in him. However, he didn't pay too much attention to it. Perhaps it was just an illusion. Next, it was the Deputy Captain of the first squadron. He was no stranger to Locke. The first time he met Locke was after the end of the Battle of Goden Highland. He, covered in blood, came to the military camp that had just been built not long ago. If not for the military uniform of Faustine Kingdom, he might have been shot to death by the archers before he even got close to the camp. At that time, he was just Lieutenant of a small team who led his men to guard the gate of the camp. Locke brought a young man who was about his age. The first thing he said to him who was guarding the gate was, "Sir, is here the second squadron of Legio Aquilae's Legio II?" After hearing the answer of "yes", Locke fainted. He quickly had his men take him to the military doctor, and he had a good impression of this young man. Perhaps it was due to the good karma they had gotten at that time. Locke had been very respectful to him since then. He often greeted him and often gave him some small toys he had seized. And he was very pleased. He remembered the wine and a little silver pendant that was full of Karlian's style which Locke had given him two days ago. Although they were not expensive, they demonstrated his good will. "I think this young man is responsible. Although he is a bit young, he is energetic. Let's give him an approval first." The Deputy Captain of the first squadron said. He also cared about Mont's face and did not be extreme, but also expressed his supportive attitude. At the moment, Mont was somewhat impressed by Locke. He was familiar with his Deputy Captain who was his buddy fighting beside him. Since he supported him, this young man must be somewhat extraordinary. Next, Joshak and Carl all showed their support for Locke, which was not surprised. They had to support their own teammates. However, it was too easy to become Captain. It had to be known that there were only three votes. Even one of the two people before Locke had obtained three votes. Moreover, they had not started voting for the popular candidates Narome and Jelson. "I feel that Locke still lack management ability. He should train again." The last Deputy Captain of the fourth squadron also expressed his opinion. It was obvious that he was denying him. At this point, it was time to end the voting. If it were for just three votes, Locke's chance to become Captain was very slim. "I think Locke is not bad. His leadership ability is not bad. One Captain is more than enough." Just as Mont was about to start the next vote, Young Master Solon, who had not said a word for a long time, spoke. The tent fell into a short silence. In the end, Joshak was the first to react. He added, "Yes, I watched this young man grow up. His abilities are not bad in all aspects. Young Master Solon, you are right." The rest of the people finally reacted and said, "Yes, Locke is quite outstanding." "He has a great leadership, and his team's casualty rate is the lowest in our camp." "This young man is excellent." Even the people who voted against him before began to praise Locke. It seemed that Locke had won the support from Young Master Solon, Joshak thought to himself. It wasn't just Joshak, but everyone present had the same thought in their hearts. Baron Cadozzi looked at his son in surprise. His son had never participated in this type of voting before. Is this Locke really talented, or... The Baron looked at his son thoughtfully. It was time to train him, and Baron Cadozzi made up his mind. After a short commotion, the voting continued. Currently, Locke had obtained the most votes, four votes. In the following votes, because of Young Master Solon's participation, the six Captain members were clearly aware that since Young Master Solon chose Locke, then Locke must have taken one of the two spots for Captain. Therefore, in the following votes, no more than two people could get more than four votes. Young Master Solon didn't participate in the following three votes, which further strengthened their understanding of each other. Although this was a fairly democratic meeting voting system proposed by Baron Cadozzi, everyone present were likely to be retainers of Baron Cadozzi. It was even more likely that they would become retainers of Solon. True fairness did not exist. Since their young master had decided on Locke, they had to find a way to flatter. The final result of the vote was four votes for Locke and four votes for Jelson. The pitiful one Narome only had three votes. It was fine for the rest. If not for Young Master Solon interfering, Jelson, who had good qualifications and leadership, would not only have four votes. It was even more impossible for Narome to only have three votes. However, since that was the case, everyone could only accept it. "Then Jelson and Locke will take up the post of Captain." Baron Cadozzi finally made the final sound. Baron Cadozzi calmly looked at the rest of the people in the tent. The aura that had been trained in high positions all year round was so oppressive that no one dared to speak loudly. This had nothing to do with strength. It was just Baron Cadozzi's personal charm. "Next, I will announce one more thing. The third and fourth squadrons will be merged into the third squadron. The various squadrons has to dispatch veterans to the fourth squadron. Jelson will be the Captain of the fourth squadron and Locke will be the Deputy Captain of the fourth squadron. After saying that, Baron Cadozzi looked at Solon. His tone changed and he said to Solon in a slightly calm tone, "In the future, you will take care of the fourth squadron and take up the post of Deputy Captain of the cavalry at the same time. Don't disappoint me." It was only at this moment that the rest of the people could feel a trace of emotion from the indifferent and unfathomable Baron Cadozzi. This was the fatherly love that Baron Cadozzi had for his son. "Yes, father." Young Master Solon lowered his head slightly and ordered. "In that case, the meeting will end. Will, you will be in charge of teaching the new Captain's Battle Aura. As for Frances City's next attack plan, it will be discussed at noon tomorrow." Baron Cadozzi stood up and said. "Yes, Sir." Other than Young Master Solon, the remaining seven people stood up and respectfully replied. The meeting was over. Captain and Young Master Solon all left the tent. At this time, only Baron Cadozzi, and Old Butler, who had been silent from beginning to end, were left in the tent. The guards at the door entered in a single file, moving the conference table to the side and retreating respectfully. Two maids also slightly walked in. After pouring a cup of tea in front of Baron Cadozzi, they bent down and quietly retreated. Baron Cadozzi, who was already more than forty years old, increasingly liked to drink this kind of noble drink and tea in the capital. Drinking tea could let Baron Cadozzi relax his tense mood for a long time. Baron Cadozzi tasted the tea in his hand, and no one knew where his thoughts went. After a long time, he finally put down the tea in his hand. "John, you have been followed me for so long. Do you regret it?" Baron Cadozzi asked. "I has received a favor from you, Baron Cadozzi. From a slave until now, I have been able to serve you as your housekeeper. I have no regrets." The butler behind Baron Cadozzi said. "Alas, twenty years have passed in a flash, and the children have all grown up..." Baron sighed with emotion. This dignified, cold, and unfathomable Baron Cadozzi was also a father. "You are a mid-level knight attendant. I won't treat you unfairly since you lower yourself to be my butler." Baron Cadozzi continued. "I really appreciate you for your grace." After saying this, Old Butler knelt down. "Get up. It's been so many years, but you still haven't abandoned those vulgar customs. Now you are old, don't mess with your body. Kneeling is not good for your health." Baron Cadozzi said understandingly. "I am still in good health. I can still protect you and share your worries." Old Butler lowered his head and said. Baron Cadozzi smiled and turned to ask the butler behind him, "John, which one do you like more about your two sons? Is it George from the cavalry squadron or Warner from the military supply camp? That little fellow George is already at the peak of the entry-level knight attendant. If he has the opportunity to go further, his future will be limitless." "George is indeed talented. If everything goes well, he can become a low-level knight attendant at the age of thirty." Old Butler said. "It just adds another fierce general for Cadozzi Barony." The low-level knight attendant was already quite powerful. Even now, under the command of Baron Cadozzi, there was only one high-level knight attendant Sir Will, the middle-level knight attendant Old Butler Henry, and the low-level attendant only Mont. The rest of Captain, who cultivated Battle Aura, were also beginner level attendants. However, Baron Cadozzi was also a low-level knight attendant. In the Cadozzi Barony, Baron Cadozzi also had a low-level knight attendant to use as a deterrent. Because of the drought, there were many mountain bandits in the nation, and the army was fighting, so they had no time to deal with it. Therefore, it was necessary to leave a low-level knight attendant. This was the combat strength of all the higher-ups that Baron Cadozzi had cultivated for many years. One high-level, one middle-level, and himself were all of three low-level knight attendants. This was already an even more terrifying force. In comparison, Baron Kashgar, who was working with Baron Cadozzi, only revealed one middle-level and two low-level knight attendants as his strength. He was more than a level weaker than Baron Cadozzi. A high-level knight attendant completely had the strength to defeat or even kill three mid-level knight attendants, so Sir Will alone could kill all the higher-ups of Baron Kashgar, which showed the strength of Baron Cadozzi's military force. "Warner is also a clever young man. He took good care of the military needs station." Baron Cadozzi continued to comment on Old Butler's second son. "Yes, Warner is a good boy." When talking about Warner, Old Butler's calm expression finally changed. Hearing Baron Cadozzi praise Warner, Old Butler Henry summoned a smile. By virtue of his acuteness, Baron Cadozzi immediately found his Old Butler preferred his second son. "Henry, George's achievements are clearly higher. Why do you like Warner more?" the Baron asked curiously. "Because he is more filial." Old Butler was silent for a long time. Baron Cadozzi was dumb after hearing this.
