Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Chapter 59 Veterans and Homecoming

Hunter Collar, Stone Village,

It was noon, and the lazy sun made people drowsy. Some villagers were lying on the side of the courtyard and basking in the sun, enjoying a little leisure time.

At this time, several young men in uniforms of the Flying Bear Army were walking on the road in the village. They each carried some cloth and meat in their hands, which should be rewards distributed by the army.

The surrounding villagers greeted them one after another, their eyes full of envy.

These soldiers also have a lot of status in front of the villagers, especially the young man in the lead. When the villagers greeted him, they all called him Master Matt.

The young man waved his hands all the way saying he didn't dare, but his face couldn't stop showing a look of complacency.

Stone Village, as the name suggests, is a village that produces stone.

The village is surrounded by rocks, and there are not many kinds of land for grain. The whole village relies on mining and polishing stones to earn dinars and then buy grain.

These villagers who have been mining stone all the year round are generally quite strong, and the young and strong men are all extremely strong.

Since the rise of Hunter's Territory, Stone Village has always been a source of high-quality recruits for the Hunter family. The young and strong men here have a hard life and are strong. Most of them can easily pass the recruitment assessment set by Richard.

Many young people in the village were fed up with the day-to-day quarrying work. After Hunter offered a generous salary, they bid farewell to their parents and went to the army to fight for wealth.

And this group of soldiers who returned to their hometowns was the young people who had joined the army to fight for wealth and honor.

Some survived to return home, while others were buried in the cold soil of the Northlands.

Out of the dozen or so youths who joined the army together, three of them were killed in a few battles, and the casualty rate was quite high.

But most people still look at those successful people who have returned home in good clothes, and ignore the bones behind them.

With these successful examples, more young people are looking forward to the next conscription of the Hunter family. After finishing their daily work, they will actively train with the sheriff for a while and strive to be selected next time.

Matt is one of the best. Even if Matt is physically strong, he has a good mind and talent, and he trains hard enough.

Matt participated in the two battles with the Will family and the ogre, and both had gains.

Especially in the battle with the ogre last time, Matt was lucky and even cooperated with a quasi-knight to kill an ogre.

I was taught the general breathing method when discussing gong, which completely widened the road.

"Go home, remember to gather on time!"

"Yes, very long."

The soldiers of the Flying Bear Army have a few days of annual leave every year, and Shili Village happens to be not far from Ironwood City, so Matt simply asked for leave with a few fellow villagers to go home and have a look.

After saying goodbye to a few soldiers, Matt walked towards his home along this winding country road.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Matt held the cloth around his waist, held a hind leg with one hand, and gently knocked on the wooden door with one free hand.

"I'm coming!"

A hearty female voice came from the courtyard, followed by footsteps from far and near.

"squeak"

The wooden door opened, and what appeared inside was a handsome girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in plain cloth, with brown hair tied behind her head, she looked like she was still working just now.

"elder brother!"

When the girl opened the door and saw Matt, she was taken aback for a moment, and then she was pleasantly surprised, and threw herself on Matt.

"Ouch!"

Matt, who never took half a step back in the face of an ogre, was actually taken a step back by the sudden pounce of the little girl, and almost stopped holding the things in his hands.

"Let's go, let's go in."

Back in the courtyard with his sister, Matt took a little look at the home he hadn't been back to for nearly half a year.

The courtyard has not changed much, but some places are obviously newly repaired, some dilapidated places have been repaired, and the roof has obviously been repaired.

There are also a few big geese raised in the yard. It seems that the Yinnar brought back by someone every month has indeed improved the family's life a lot.

Matt's father is processing stone in the backyard, and his mother is preparing meals.

At this time, they all rushed to the front yard when they heard sister Matt's yelling.

"Hurry up and kill a big goose to stew, my son is back."

The two elders were very pleasantly surprised to see Matt who came home,

In this era, I served as a soldier and fought in wars outside. If something goes wrong, I may never come back again, so every reunion is extremely precious.

"Don't kill it, I brought a hind leg, you can continue to raise the big goose."

"Then do it together, and my son will be richer no matter what."

Matt's mother is still reluctant to drive Matt's father to kill geese.

"Hey, if my brother doesn't come back, I won't be able to eat any greasy food for a month at home."

The parents enthusiastically made the girls on the side feel a little bit like eating.

"What are you talking about, how often does your brother come back?"

"Take it, and this cloth will make you three new clothes."

Seeing that his sister was a bit apprehensive, Matt quickly handed over the cloth in his hand.

The cloth in Matt's hand is part of the army's rewards. This cloth is different from the linen clothes worn by ordinary villagers.

The texture is much finer, and it has been dyed some colors. It is definitely decent enough to be worn in the village when made into clothes.

No woman could resist the charm of the new clothes, and the girl soon became happy holding the cloth.

Matt's parents were quite quick with their hands, and in a short while they had a table of delicious dishes.

"Son, let me tell you something."

The dinner table is always a good place for conversation,

Not long after the table, Matt's father started talking.

"You see that you are about the same age, and it's time to start a family. The daughter of the Pig family in the village is younger than you. I think it's quite suitable."

Hearing this, Matt looked unhappy.

"Father, I don't want to think about this for now."

"It's time to think about it."

Matt's mother was also on the sidelines, and parents tend to be pretty much on the same page in this sort of thing.

What's more, Matt is a soldier of the Flying Bear Army, and he is quite popular in the village. Someone has already done work, and Matt's parents were moved.

"You two don't need to think about it, I have my own ideas."

"Come on, eat more food."

Matt was blocked back with a word, and he didn't want to continue discussing this topic.

In the past, if Matt dared not listen to this kind of thing, Matt's father would probably be furious immediately.

Matt's status is different now, with Silver Gnar sent back every month, and his status as a soldier in the Flying Bear Army, if he doesn't want to, no one can force him.

Seeing Matt's resolute attitude, the second elder could only sigh slightly and stop talking.

Matt certainly had reasons for not wanting to marry any girl in the village.

Matt is a man of strength, luck, and ambition.

After staying in the Flying Bear Army for so long, his strength has improved, and his vision has naturally improved.

He was originally stronger than ordinary people, and he became a commander of the Flying Bear Army, and now he has accumulated military skills and obtained breathing techniques.

After a few more days, maybe you can reach the threshold of a quasi-knight, as long as you reach the standard of a quasi-knight,

They can't reach the commander, but a centurion cannot escape. If the centurion can only be regarded as a soldier, then the centurion can be regarded as a grassroots officer.

At that time, for the last time, he will also have to marry a lady from a merchant in Ironwood City. With better luck, it is not impossible for some concubine daughters of minor nobles.

He naturally looked down on these girls from the same village now.

...

"Drink! Ha!"

Early the next morning, although he didn't have to go out for exercises, Matt still got up early and started training in his yard.

Ambitious people tend to work harder and be more self-disciplined, and Matt explained this truth very well.

For the first time, Matt's father did not go out to work, but watched from the sidelines.

"Step, step, step..."

A rush of horseshoes interrupted Matt's training and attracted all Matt's attention.

There is a shortage of horses in the north, and it is difficult for ordinary people to own horses. Generally, only officials and large caravans can own horses.

"Urgent order! All soldiers return to the army immediately, all soldiers return to the army immediately!"

The orderly on horseback shouted orders all the way,

The village is not big, and the cavalry is still at the entrance of the village, and Matt has already heard the order clearly.

Without delay, Matt quickly packed up his things and was ready to go.

The family members reluctantly bid farewell, their eyes full of worry,

Especially the younger sister of Matt's family waved with red eyes.

Matt didn't delay after packing up his things, and after saying goodbye briefly, he rushed to the entrance of the village with some dry food on his back.

Compared with the worries of his family, Matt was actually a little excited.

If you are so eager to recall, you are afraid that there will be a war, and only military merits and rewards will come from fighting.

Matt doesn't care much about financial rewards now. After obtaining the Breathing Technique, he hopes to go a step further and get the Entraining Qi Technique.

There is no proverb in the Golden Dragon Kingdom that "a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier."

But there is absolutely no one in the Golden Dragon Kingdom who doesn't want to be a knight.

Knight, what a yearning and unrankable existence in the past, but now there is really a chance to become a knight, how can it not be exciting...
