Lord Highlander

Suldak spread the news of the establishment of the militia battalion, but the reaction of the villagers surprised him a bit.

He waited in the security station for three days, only three veterans with slightly disabled legs from Guta village came and expressed their willingness to join the militia battalion in Surdak.

As for the villagers in Wall Village, so far no one is willing to join the militia battalion.

Even when some villagers saw Suldak, they had to go far away, for fear that Suldak would find him by recruiting militiamen.

Suldak didn't expect the villagers to reject the militia battalion so much... He thought about it for a long time before he discovered the reason.

One is that the dark side of the national recruitment system made the villagers lose the last bit of confidence in the army.

It's just that Suldak couldn't figure it out. When encountering bandit groups attacking the village, these villagers all had the courage to fight, and some people died desperately to defend the Wall village, but no one asked them to join the militia camp. willing.

Second, it happens to be the busy season of farming.

Many villagers were worried that the farming work in the fields would be affected. Some villagers tactfully expressed their support to Suldak in establishing the militia, but not many people actually joined the militia.

The villagers would rather go to the construction site in the village and earn a temporary salary of one hundred copper coins per day than join the militia battalion.

The old village chief did not tell everyone that there was almost no training in the summer militia battalion.

The old village chief was worried that if he said this in advance, it would be difficult for Suldak to command the recruited militia in the summer season. Once some things became a habit, it would be difficult to change them back.

When Suldak walked to the Wall Village Children's Home, he saw Selena standing in front of a wooden board, using charcoal pencils to teach a group of children to practice writing letters.

Seeing Suldak coming, Selina asked the children to dismiss and play around the central square of the village for a while, but don't forget to have lunch later.

The children, big and small, dispersed in a rush, and the temporary children's home was suddenly empty, and immediately quieted down.

Suldak sat down on a small wooden stool in front of the podium, looking up at Selena who was standing pretty beside the podium.

Selena crossed her arms, with a gentle smile on her face, leaning her elbows on the podium and watching Suldak.

The situation in the children's home has improved, and they are basically children from the village.

The children from other villages had a long way to go and it was the busy farming season, so the adults had no time to send them over, so they had to stay at home.

After entering the summer, wild vegetables and some berries have grown out one after another, and the villagers from other villages don't need to send their children all the way here just because they have a bite to eat.

The children's home was not disbanded because of this. Instead, Suldak often came here in person to teach the children basic swordsmanship and fighting skills.

Selena moved her face closer to Suldak and asked him with a smile:

"Why do you always look sad recently?"

Suldak rubbed his temples and complained to Selina:

"I really don't understand why the villagers reject the militia battalion so much."

"Oh, it's because of this matter!" Selena smiled. She knew that Suldak had been busy with this matter recently, and after thinking about it, she comforted him and said, "Everyone is busy building houses. I will run to join your militia camp at this time. This kind of strong and sheltered house can probably live for a lifetime once it is built. Who would run to you to join the militia camp at this time! Hide and hide less than..."

Looking at the small buildings rising one after another in the village, Suldak said with a look of astonishment:

"is that so?"

Selena nodded with a smile, her plump figure emerged under the long skirt, she whispered to Suldak:

"Or you recruit me, I'll be your soldier..."

...

The ogre went to the Beigou Ranch to herd sheep. He was worried that someone would steal the yellow sheep in the village.

After the rainy season came, the seabuckthorn grass and Kebushi in the Beigou Grassland grew wildly for so many days, and the entire hillside was lush and lush.

The yellow sheep in Wall Village eat from morning to night, just to store a thick body of fat for themselves before autumn, only in this way can they survive the next winter safely.

During the recent period, Gullitum ate a lot of salamander meat left by Suldak, and without knowing it, Gullitum's size increased again.

...

Suldak waited in Wall Village for more than half a month.

Villagers from other villages saw that three veterans from Guta Village who had some chronic diseases in their legs joined the militia battalion, but Suldak did not refuse. Some veterans from other villages who had retired from the battlefield with injuries ran to Suldak Ke signed up and expressed his willingness to join the militia battalion.

Of course, not all veterans are recruited. Most of the veterans recruited are those who can be cured.

The Grimm Empire adopted a nationwide recruitment system, and male imperial citizens joined the army and served 4 years of military service between the ages of 16 and 20.

Once you do not join the army before the age of twenty, you will be forcibly recruited by the local law enforcement corps.

These people will be marked by the military as "those who try to avoid military service", and as punishment for evading, they will be sent to the most dangerous infantry battalion with the highest death rate.

Therefore, many civilian youths will enlist in the army after the 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony.

There are also some aristocratic junior colleges who went to the Advanced Warrior Academy for further study after graduation. These people entered the army as the lowest-level officers, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties.

In these villages in the barren land, a group of young people are conscripted into the army every year.

Since the young people in the village have not received any formal military training, the regiments assigned are basically cannon fodder infantry regiments.

Even less than one-third of young people can return home from the battlefield alive every year.

And among less than one-third of young people, there are still some who are disabled.

However, these disabled veterans who came back from the battlefield basically have minor disabilities. Some have broken fingers and toes, and some have severed tendons in arms or thighs. The medical conditions on the battlefield are very bad, and there is no way to connect them. Dealing with Scirocco in a timely and effective manner resulted in a disability.

As for those who had a leg or an arm cut off by the enemy, once they suffered such serious injuries, few people could come back alive.

This group of veterans are usually unable to help their families with farm work due to their unmentionable diseases. I heard that the Suldak knights in Wall Village set up a militia battalion here, recruiting veterans, and returning a bag of wheat flour every month. Rejecting veterans with disabilities, they ran over to try their luck with Bang Bang.

Although these veterans are physically inflexible, they have rich combat experience, and in the eyes of these veterans, there is still a certain chance of curing the incurable diseases for Suldak, who possesses the holy light technique.

In the past twenty days, the number of disabled veterans recruited by Suldak quickly reached more than forty.

It wasn't until the old village chief finished supervising the construction of the terraced houses at the entrance of the village, and turned around to look at the recruitment situation on Suldak's side, that he realized that the villagers of Wall Village were collectively stupid.

Instead of actively joining the militia battalion as he explained, everyone went to the construction site in the village to earn money.

When the old village chief heard the news, he was furious. He ran to the central square of the village, summoned all the villagers, and cursed at all the villagers, saying: "You people are worse than the kobold slaves at the entrance of the village." To be ignorant... is to be poor all your life. '

Facing the enraged village chief Bright, many villagers stood in the crowd and lowered their heads in shame.

Despite this, few villagers are willing to join the militia battalion.

But... After all, there are a few.
