Chapter 72: Successfully Entering the Logistics and Baggage Battalion

Inside the side tent, Earl Leonard Colvin was sitting in the main seat, holding a cup of steaming black tea.

He looked to be about forty years old, with a scholarly face and deep eyes.

Although he was in casual clothes, the aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time did not diminish at all.

【Name: Leonard Colvin】

【Level: Silver Rank Knight Mid-stage】

【Talent: A】

【Favorability: 85】

【Loyalty: 0】

Roko glanced at his uncle-in-law's attributes and then stepped forward immediately.

"Uncle-in-law!"

"Hahaha, Roko, you kid finally made it!"

Earl Leonard put down his teacup and stood up to give Roko a warm hug.

"Haven't seen you for a few years, you've grown quite a bit and become more steady."

"Not bad, not bad!"

His uncle-in-law's tone was filled with intimacy and appreciation.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Earl Leonard went straight to the point.

"Roko, the Orc turmoil in the Xin Feng Province this time is quite large."

"The high-level officials of the Kingdom attach great importance to this, and Legion Commander Gelifen coming to the front line in person is proof of that."

"You did well to respond to the conscription this time."

"However, on the battlefield, swords have no eyes, so you must be extra careful."

Roko nodded.

"I understand."

Earl Leonard smiled slightly and lowered his voice: "I have already helped you make arrangements."

"The logistics supervisor of this allied force is my old friend, Viscount Galvin."

"I will take you to see him later."

"I have already greeted him; your unit will be assigned to the Logistics and Baggage Battalion."

"Logistics and Baggage Battalion?"

Upon hearing this, Roko was slightly stunned.

Earl Leonard explained with a smile.

"Don't underestimate this Logistics and Baggage Battalion."

"Although it sounds less prestigious than those frontline combat units, it is much safer."

"Mainly responsible for protecting the priests and mages accompanying the army, transporting the wounded, collecting the remains of fallen soldiers, and escorting food and supplies, etc."

"These tasks, although trivial, have low risks and can also earn Kingdom merit points."

"With your current strength and troops, rushing to the front line to fight hard against those fearless Orcs is not cost-effective."

"Accumulate some merit and experience in the logistics battalion first, and then plan for progress when there is an opportunity later."

Roko listened to his uncle-in-law's arrangements, his heart filled with gratitude.

His uncle-in-law was sparing no effort to help him.

Assigning him to a relatively safe logistics battalion could both help him avoid the huge risks of the frontline battlefield and allow him to gain valuable merit.

This favor was not a small one.

"Thank you, Uncle-in-law, for your trouble!"

Roko said sincerely.

Earl Leonard waved his hand and laughed.

"Between us two, why be so polite."

"If it weren't for you helping to bridge the gap back then, I don't know how long my and your aunt's happy event would have been dragged out."

"This little thing is not worth mentioning."

Subsequently, Earl Leonard took Roko to visit Viscount Galvin, who was in charge of the allied forces' logistics.

【Name: Galvin Sack】

【Level: Bronze Rank Knight Late-stage】

【Talent: A-】

【Favorability: 60】

【Loyalty: 0】

Viscount Galvin was a slightly chubby middle-aged noble with a kind face.

At first, his attitude toward Roko, this young baron, was relatively flat, only exchanging a few polite pleasantries.

But when Earl Leonard inadvertently revealed that Roko was the son of Marquis Livis and a member of the Raymond family.

Viscount Galvin's attitude immediately underwent a 180-degree turn.

The smile on his face became incomparably enthusiastic and sincere, and the gaze he looked at Roko with was also filled with kindness and closeness.

"Oh my, oh my! So it's the son of Marquis Livis! Disrespect, disrespect!"

Viscount Galvin enthusiastically held Roko's hand and shook it vigorously.

"Lord Roko is young and promising, truly a hero among youths!"

"In the future, in the Xin Feng Province, I will need Lord Roko to take care of me!"

After some enthusiastic pleasantries, Viscount Galvin made a decision on the spot to officially assign Roko's Vanguard Valley unit to the Right-wing Logistics and Baggage Battalion of the allied forces.

And he specifically emphasized that Roko's unit would be mainly responsible for protecting the priest group and mage group accompanying the army.

This was a relatively leisurely but credit-worthy job.

Roko naturally thanked him repeatedly.

After coming out of Viscount Galvin's tent, Earl Leonard patted Roko on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"How about it? Is your uncle-in-law's face still useful?"

Roko said very supportively.

"Who would dare not give face to Uncle-in-law?"

Earl Leonard laughed.

"Alright, you kid don't be polite with me anymore."

"You have plenty of battles to fight next."

"Perform well, try to earn more merit, and be promoted to a baron as soon as possible; many things will be more convenient to handle in the future."

"I will."

After chatting with his uncle-in-law for a while, Roko left.

He took Fula and returned to where the Vanguard Valley elite unit was camped.

At this time, the layout of the camp had already taken shape, the tents were set up in an orderly manner, and sentries were arranged on the periphery.

Roko saw Hart, who was commanding the soldiers to reinforce the obstacles, at a glance.

"Hart."

Roko's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached Hart's ears.

Upon hearing the sound, Hart immediately stopped what he was doing and walked over quickly.

"Young Master, you're back."

His gaze lingered on Roko for a moment, as if wanting to see something from Roko's expression.

Roko nodded, a hint of relaxed smile on his face.

"Well, things are mostly settled."

He looked around, and seeing that Bake, Luoen, Joven, Bloodaxe, and others were all busy, he raised his voice.

"Bake, Luoen, Joven, Bloodaxe, you all come over."

Hearing Roko's call, several people immediately put down their work and gathered quickly.

Their faces carried a hint of curiosity and anticipation.

After all, their Young Master had just gone to handle "serious business."

"Young Master, how did it go?"

Joven, who had the most impatient temper, couldn't help but ask.

Roko's gaze swept over everyone, looking at the expressions of both worry and expectation on their faces, and smiled slightly.

"Everything is arranged."

"Our Vanguard Valley unit has been assigned to the Right-wing Logistics and Baggage Battalion of the allied forces."

"Logistics and Baggage Battalion?"

As soon as this name came out, Hart and the others were stunned for a moment, and then expressions of relief appeared on their faces.

Even Hart, who was always steady, had the corners of his mouth lift up slightly.

Bake scratched his head honestly and chuckled.

"Logistics is good, logistics is safe."

Bloodaxe, the former horse bandit leader, grinned even wider, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Haha, Young Master still has a way!"

"Those frontline combat units, I heard they are going to fight the Orcs head-on, the casualties definitely won't be small."

Luoen also nodded, his tone carrying a hint of relief.

"Yeah, I just saw some other nobles' private armies, each one looking miserable, obviously assigned to a bad position."

Joven patted his chest exaggeratedly.

"Scared me to death, I thought we were going to be pulled to be cannon fodder too."

"Young Master is wise!"

He sent a timely flattery.

The atmosphere at the scene, because of this news, suddenly became excellent, filled with relaxation and joy.

The previous slight tension and unease also dissipated with the wind. ===== CHAPTER 73 =====
