Chapter 21 Before The Battle

The team was advancing slowly and orderly. Locke adjusted himself into a preparing state on the warhorse. This was a battle where people would die. Therefore, every time before the battle, Locke would make full preparation. He had seen people stronger than he die at the hands of weaker ones more than once. In his opinion, this was because of poor preparation, causing them to lose their life. He did not want to be such a person, so he had to do his best to let his strength be exerted. After he had been promoted to Captain, he had been pulled to the Logistics Department to choose a warhorse. Every captain had a warhorse. Under Uncle Joshak's guidance, Locke chose a date red warhorse. These days, the lives of warhorses were more expensive than human lives. Such a warhorse could be exchanged for a full-body armor worth at least 80 silver coins. Moreover, even if you had money, you might not get a horse. If a person wearing the armor died, the armor could still be taken off and continued to be used. If a horse died, there would be no place to replenish it. This was also the reason why Baron had a cavalry squadron but only gave Captains horses.
