Lord of War

The middle-aged man, Puta, is one of the few instructors in the town militia.

Although he is thirty-five years old this year, he is still relatively young in this small town. It's just that no matter young or old in the small town, they all respect this "young man." Not only because he participated in two real wars, but more because of his character, words and deeds, which are deeply loved by people.

Puta is an orphan. He doesn't know who his parents are. He was adopted by a retired soldier.

When he was twenty-two years old, his adoptive father died, so under some coincidences, he joined the kingdom's expeditionary force against the wild land and became a little halberd. Although this unit can be regarded as a regular army in the Kingdom of Dabion, and their salaries are not bad, their only task on the battlefield is to be cannon fodder, and they are only responsible for attracting the enemy's firepower. It is the charge on the front line.

After three years of conquest, the expeditionary force finally only penetrated 87 kilometers into the wilderness, fought more than 200 battles, and wiped out more than 30 tribes in the wilderness. This achievement may be considered relatively brilliant in the eyes of outsiders, but in the wilderness A place like this is not enough. And after three years of fighting, less than 100,000 of the 200,000 expeditionary force came back alive, and more than 100,000 comrades were left forever on the scarlet land.

Puta was lucky not to die on the battlefield, but his body was almost covered with scars. He was able to survive, in addition to relying on the miraculous will to survive, it was more because he had a good partner, but I don't know if the goddess of fate made a not-so-funny joke, or because of his partner that night He didn't go to bed without saying his evening prayers, and anyway his partner who had saved his life many times ended up being run over by a berserk ground dragon the night before leaving the wild lands.

When he was dying, he told Puta that he really wanted to take another look at the red maple leaves in full bloom in his hometown. So when the army returned, Pu Da did not stay in the army, but came to the present Hongye Town, not only to see the red maple leaf that his partner wanted to see for the last time, but also to fulfill his filial piety for him.

The thing is, at the age of twenty-six, Puda had two more parents.

Afterwards, in this small town, he spent five years in peace, and then the war of the Principality of Ryan's invasion of the Kingdom of Dabion broke out.

In order to protect this small town that he cherished in his heart, Puta once again joined the army. During the three-year war, relying on his rich experience and a certain degree of command ability, Puta was successively transferred to seven troops, and was promoted from a small halberd soldier to the third army of the Kingdom's Red Cross Cavalry Regiment The deputy captain really entered the eyes of the commander of the kingdom's military department.

But at this time, the war is over.

Then Puta made a choice that surprised even the Kingdom's military: he actually chose to retire in his prime! Originally, according to the intention of the military department, he should be well retained, but at this time, the Principality of Ryan gave up a large area of ​​occupied land and returned it all to the Kingdom of Darbion, so the military department of the Kingdom of Darbion began to be busy. As a result, when they finished their work and turned around, Puda had already completed the delivery procedures and left the Red Cross Cavalry Regiment, returning to Hongye Town.

Immediately afterwards, the news about the complete abandonment of the Panda collar followed.

At this time, the town was in a panic. After a series of intense discussions, the town decided to hire a mercenary group to guard the town. Only Puda strongly opposed it and demanded the establishment of a militia group.

But in the end, the town chose to hire a mercenary group to come, but at the same time, it also allowed Puda to form a militia group, which was a compromise solution.

The establishment of the militia went very smoothly, and Puta was indeed very conscientious.

He never thought of himself as the head of the militia. He felt that there were still some people in the small town who were suitable to be instructors. For example, the only blacksmith in the town, he can teach these boys how to use the tools in their hands to repair weapons; for example, the hunters in the town, they can teach those boys how to find edible food in the wild, and even teach them How to Use a Bow: And the Traveling Traders in Town

Of course, these are not fixed instructors, but based on their travel experience, they can also enrich the experience and knowledge of these boys.

In Puda's eyes, everyone in Hongye Town could be the instructor of these young boys, and he was just one of them.

Therefore, in the eyes of the old people in Hongye Town, they prefer to call this town Puda Town, because they are really proud and happy that Puda can become a part of Hongye Town.

But all of this changed after the snake of Harbinder came.

On the first day, they put forward the conditions for building the wall. But Puda knew how powerful the tribe in the wild land was. In his opinion, unless it was a 20-meter-high city wall or a 40-meter-high fortress wall, it would not have much effect on the tribe in the wild land. And how could a small town build a city wall of this scale in a short period of time? In his opinion, all of this is just the side of the mercenary group wanting to blackmail more rewards.

Therefore, this incident became the first conflict between Harbinder's Snake and the militia.

Afterwards, the Harbind Snakes decided to change the name of the town to Hongye Town, seemingly out of revenge or for other reasons, but this was met with strong opposition from the older generation and the militia, but Puta himself was quite sympathetic to it. No opinion, even some support. Because he still remembered that his partner's last wish was to take a look at the red maple leaves in the small town.

It's just that Harbinder's Snake regarded Puda's consent as a sign of softness, and in the subsequent series of incidents, he went even further, and even began to charge the so-called entry fee, which was originally because of Hongye. The town became a no man's land and the traveling merchants who dared not come were completely scared away. As a result, the conflict between Harbinder's Snake and the Hongye Town militia regiment expanded to an irreconcilable level.

Because of this, Puda once fought against the head of Harbind's Snake, but unfortunately, he could only hold back the other party, and it was completely impossible to defeat the other party, because Puda There are too many hidden wounds on the body. These hidden injuries caused Puda's current strength to barely reach the upper bronze level. Although his stamina value exceeded 40 points and reached the silver level, he was unable to display fighting spirit like a real silver master.

But Harbinder's Snake has two silver-level masters.

In such a situation, Puta could only restrain the militia as much as possible so that they would not have any conflicts with the Harbind Snake. Although the militia was very dissatisfied within the militia, but because of Puda's reputation, all these young guys chose to endure. This is another advantage of the Hongye town militia—they obey commands, Follow orders.

As a result, Harbinder's Snake and the Red Leaf Town Militia began to maintain some kind of superficial harmony.

It wasn't until a few days ago that the official document from Fortress Tonis was delivered that this superficial harmony finally came to an end, and the two sides were completely torn apart. It's just that the militia did not act rashly because of the existence of two silver-level masters in Harbinder's Snake, because if the two sides really fight together, it will be the Hongye Town militia that will suffer heavy losses in the end, and may even cause casualties.

Therefore, Pu Da was waiting, he wanted to wait for the lord to appear, to see what attitude the other party had, and whether it was worth entrusting Hongye Town to him.

If it was really worth it, then Puta would choose to join the new lord without hesitation.

Less troops? This is not a problem at all!

According to Puda's extremely limited knowledge, the number of private soldiers of each lord at the beginning will not be many, it can even be said to be very rare, unless it is the kind of hereditary noble lord, it is possible to inherit from the ancestors He had heard that the Valkyrie in the Principality of Ryan had only 300 private soldiers at the beginning, and it was during the four years when she was a pioneer knight that she gradually built an army of 30,000 people.

Therefore, a new lord's troops are scarce, which is naturally not a problem. There are nearly a thousand militiamen in Hongye Town who have been on standby for a long time.

To really judge the strength of a new lord, one must judge from the quantity and quality of his followers.

Back then, the Valkyrie in the Principality of Ryan had only three hundred private soldiers, but she had two masters whose strength came from the lower silver. Although one person died during the four years of battle and pioneering, two silver-level masters joined in later. Now, the four of them, including the Valkyrie, are already close to the next-level gold powerhouse.

And this time, the new lord of Hongye Town is said to be a pioneer knight under the command of this Valkyrie, so the strength can naturally be expected.

As long as this lord is strong enough to deal with the two leaders of Harbind's Snake, Puda believes that relying on the militia in Hongye Town can still drive away this annoying poisonous snake, and as long as this poisonous snake can be driven away, this If the new lord doesn't want to be so tyrannical to Hongye Town, then what does it matter if he surrenders to the new lord? For Puda, whether it is the Kingdom of Dabion or the Principality of Ryan, only the lord who can really protect them is a lord worth following.

But what Puda didn't expect was that the situation in Hongye Town would turn around in such a way.

A distinguished guest who seemed to be from a large tribe in the wild land actually came to visit their small town, and then forced the heavy hammer away with a few words. In this way, even without the lord visiting the territory, Puda was already confident that he could drive away this annoying poisonous snake.

However, before driving away the poisonous snake, Pu Da felt that it was necessary to discuss with the mayor about Hongye Town's future platooning. At least, they had to finalize the matter before the new lord came, and then they could give the new lord an accurate answer.

"Uncle, I'm back!" With such agitated mood and thoughts, Puda pushed the mayor away.

The door of the old father of the former partner, "I have good news..."

This middle-aged man, who was considered young by the town, was completely speechless at the end of his sentence. He was looking at the two people in the hall with a look of surprise—the person whom he ordered the militia to In any case, it is necessary to find and protect the distinguished guest. Ps: There are some things at home today, and the mood and state of the whole person are very bad, so there are probably only two changes in the evening.
