Chapter 195 Locke
After the First Order Knight delivered the message to Fortress No. 3.

In less than ten days, after Roland arranged the defense measures for Fortress No. 3, he led eight legions and marched further north.

Although Fortress No. 3 was already safe after Roland wiped out the greenskin tribe near it, Roland still kept all the injured auxiliary soldiers just in case.

With these auxiliary troops, Fortress No. 3 can be easily defended even if new greenskin tribes drift here.

After dozens of days of marching, on August 10, Roland led his army to the destination.

Since Roland was located in the south, the scattered greenskin tribes along the way were basically slaughtered by the army that set out first.

Therefore, Roland had a generally smooth journey, encountering only a few scattered green-skinned orcs.

Because we have communicated with Locke's resistance army in advance.

The Locke rebels also knew about Roland's situation more than 20 days in advance.

Although it was a bit surprising that Roland, a wizard who had just come from Sinnar less than a year ago, could mobilize an army of 50,000, some people thought that Roland exaggerated the number of the army. By that time, it would be good to have 10,000 soldiers.

However, under the repeated emphasis of the messenger knight, the logistics officer in charge of coordinating the coalition forces finally prepared the location and logistical supplies for Roland's stationing in advance based on the standard of about 50,000 people.

Therefore, when Roland arrived at the destination with his army, the logistics officer looked at the huge army and was glad that he had listened to the messenger knight's advice just in case.

The logistics officer immediately sent a guide to communicate with Roland.

After confirming their identities, Roland, under the guidance of the guide and under the curious gaze of the soldiers stationed in other places, led the army to the location prepared for them by the logistics officer.

After arriving at the location, Roland asked Hela to be in charge of setting up camp, and he followed the guide and left the location directly to the central camp.

While following the guide, Roland also saw other military forces of the Locke Resistance.

Apart from the ordinary conventional military forces, what Roland was most concerned about were the several extraordinary knight groups stationed around the central camp.

This is the military legacy left behind after the demise of the Donnar Knight Kingdom, and is also the most powerful military force currently belonging to the Locke Resistance.

Different from those quick-learning extraordinary people under Roland.

Before the green tide swept across Donnar, the members of these extraordinary knights were basically elites selected from countless noble knights. The worst were first-level knights who had received a complete extraordinary education. Moreover, they could only serve as reserves. Among the internal members, second-level and third-level knights were rare. Only fourth-level knights who had completed sublimation were qualified to become captains.

In addition to the extremely high quality standards of knights, their weapons are all carefully designed, rare and expensive extraordinary equipment. Coupled with long-term and extensive training, these extraordinary knights have almost no disadvantages except for their small number and high cost.

These extraordinary knights are still a significant military force even when facing a full-scale attack by the entire Green Tide.

Even though a large number of knights of these Extraordinary Knights died in order to fight against the Green Tide, and basically all of them were crippled, they are still strong.

Looking at the large number of first- and second-level knights in his field of vision, Roland took a few more looks out of curiosity.

However, he only took a few more glances. Although Roland was curious about the specific strength of these knight groups, he still controlled his curiosity and did not extend his perception into their camp.

After all, these extraordinary knights were the ones that Roland was going to unite with, so he had to be polite.

After taking a look, Roland followed the guide into the central camp.

"Please wait here for a moment."

The guide spoke softly to Roland.

After seeing Roland nodded slightly, the guide also walked into the depths of the camp. After the guide left, Roland also stood there, silently looking at the surrounding environment.

The decoration in the camp is relatively simple and plain. Apart from the necessary furniture, there is basically nothing extra.

It seems that Locke is a pretty good person.

As the current leader of the Locke Resistance, Locke did not waste resources maintaining the so-called aristocratic demeanor.

She is much better than Eleanor in the south, who spent a lot of resources to build a palace as the first thing she did after being promoted to legend and becoming the leader of the United Army.

Locke, from the Knight Kingdom of Denika, is an old knight who is quite famous in the whole of Sinnar.

Donnar, as the birthplace of mankind, once gave birth to the first human empire in human history, the Central Empire.

However, less than a few hundred years after its birth, with the disintegration of the Dwarf Empire in the Dragon's Back Mountains, the imperial power of the Central Empire, which had lost its protection from external threats, also rapidly weakened.

In addition, as humans moved out of East Nar and expanded toward West Nar, and as the knight kingdoms in various places became increasingly powerful, the feudal system of the Central Empire quickly fell apart. Except for the capital and the surrounding areas, the rest of the place was broken into countless knight kingdoms.

Apart from the title of the common leader of the human race of Donnar, the Central Kingdom's strength is basically no different from that of other knight kingdoms.

Subsequently, the various knight kingdoms that split from Donnar evolved, under the social environment and cultural customs of the time, to resolve conflicts through means such as fighting and knight competitions that relied on personal force.

Even in the previous battles between knights in the Knight Kingdom, both parties agreed on a time and place for a knight duel.

Therefore, under this trend, in addition to armed conflicts between countries, various armed competitions have evolved among the people to resolve conflicts.

Although this method of resolving conflicts effectively eased the conflicts, it also weakened the war potential of the various knight kingdoms in Donnar, resulting in the knights who were accustomed to fighting alone being swallowed up by the green tide one by one, no matter how strong they were.

As for the Knights, they are few in number and not used to the unrestrained total war like the Green Tide, so naturally they cannot fight against the Green Tide.

As for Locke, he was a high-ranking knight who had become famous throughout Donnar in the past hundred years with his powerful personal strength and firm knightly will through a series of knight competitions. He was also one of the few high-ranking knights of Donnar who could fight his way out of the green tide with his personal strength. When he fought his way out, he even had enough energy to escort a group of refugees out.

Therefore, he not only has a profound influence on the remaining Donnar knights, but also has a considerable influence on the ordinary people of Donnar.

In addition to the areas controlled by Locke's rebels, he also has considerable influence in other areas of the coalition.

Roland silently thought about the information he had collected about Locke.

What kind of person is the real Locke?
Is he a noble knight as the intelligence said, or is there an ambitious person who holds power tightly like Eleanor but is just better disguised?

If it was the former, Roland didn't want to conflict with Locke if possible, but if a conflict really happened, Roland could only express regret.

If it is the latter, then it would be much simpler. First, join him, then win military merits, improve your prestige, and then find ways to win over other forces. When everything is almost ready, find an opportunity to kill him directly, and then put the blame on the Green Tide.

Roland silently thought about how he should treat Locke.

Just as he was thinking, the guide came out of the camp and said to Roland.

"Please come in, Lord Locke is waiting for you inside."

Roland raised his head, smiled and nodded at the guide, then walked past him and went in.
