"Thank you for the reminder, sir. I know very well how terrifying it is on the battlefield!" Shaoyu said respectfully.
The etiquette of interaction. When others respect you, you will respect others in return. This is human nature, and Shaoyu is the same.
"Knowing that you still want to be a soldier? To tell you the truth, we are not only recruiting soldiers here, but we are also hunting for young men everywhere. It's too late for others to hide, but you, little guy, just jumped in?" The old man shook his head.
, said while blowing his nose and staring.
After hearing this, Shaoyu couldn't help but nodded slightly. The reason why he was still arresting people everywhere during the recruitment period was because everyone knew the dangers on the battlefield. Basically, among a thousand people, no one would be able to come back alive after a year.
More than ten. This extremely high death rate is indeed frightening. Therefore, when it cannot recruit new soldiers, the empire has no choice but to resort to coercive measures. There is no other way.
"Hey... I don't know how many families will be broken up, and how many parents will cry and cry!" Shaoyu sighed sadly as he shook his head gently.
It has to be said that war is indeed the root of all evil!
"Please tell me the detailed address. I would be very grateful!" Shaoyu looked like he was asking for advice seriously, and then he said seriously.
"I really don't understand you little guy. Forget it, walk along this road for two thousand meters, turn right at the fork, walk a few hundred meters, and you will see the military camp in this city. I believe it is there.
The people will be happy to see you." He looked at Shaoyu with puzzled eyes. With the former's unremitting efforts, the old man finally chose to compromise.
"Thank you!" Shaoyu said respectfully with a hint of joy on his face. Then, following the old man's prompts, he slowly left...
"Hey... I hope I can see this stupid young man again!" The old man sighed sadly as he stared at the young man's retreating figure.
In his opinion, Shaoyu was like a newborn tripe, fearless of heaven and earth, and he also vowed in his heart to do something great and achieve great deeds.
But how can it be so easy to be a hero? Otherwise, heroes in the world would not be so rare.
Walking on the road, Shaoyu suddenly discovered that among the people coming and going on the street, they were all old people and children, and there was not a single young and strong person in sight. It can be seen that because of the incident of arresting young men in this city, the people here have been punished.
residents, causing great panic.
Following the old man's prompts, Shaoyu quickly found the so-called military camp the old man mentioned.
Standing a hundred miles away and looking from afar, this so-called military camp is as big as a mansion. If you hadn't seen the word Green Army Barracks written on it, it would be difficult for most people to associate this place with this seemingly inconspicuous mansion.
, turned out to be the place where the city’s troops were stationed.
Judging from the size of the military camp, Shaoyu can roughly judge the number of troops inside. But think about it, how many people can the army of a small town have? They are not used to fight? Usually there are hundreds of people.
The military establishment is already very good.
At this moment, the sky has begun to darken, and the hazy dusk has covered the earth with a fiery red coat. A shocking scene comes into view. It can't help but make people think!
"Hey... it's been really hard to catch the strong men in the city recently. Some of them have gone into hiding, and some have simply fled to other places. There are only some sick, weak, old and disabled people left. Today there is not a single one of us.
Caught, think about how to explain to the captain..." A middle-aged man couldn't help but shake his head and sighed while walking.
"The captain knows the situation in the city. He can understand it if he thinks about it!" One of the middle-aged men said thoughtfully. However, the expression on his face was very much the same as the previous one!
"Mark! Are you a new guy here? You don't know the captain's temper? You can still say such childish words." Hearing this, the middle-aged man who spoke before suddenly roared angrily.
.
"Forget it Mi Lu, not only are we not caught, I believe the same goes for other people. With so many people standing up for it, the captain will not punish us severely. At most, he will just curse us. Come on, brothers.
He said, just let him go as usual!" Another man stepped forward to persuade him.
After hearing this, the man named Mi Lu couldn't help but nodded slightly. However, the gloomy look on his face did not disappear for a long time.
But at this moment...
"Are some of the soldiers here?" Looking at them neatly dressed in military uniforms, Shaoyu walked over and asked.
Hearing this, several people were slightly startled at first, and then looked at each other, with surprise on their faces.
They were still worried about not being able to catch a young man just now, but they didn't expect Shaoyu to come to their doorstep by himself? This was like pie in the sky, which surprised and delighted them!
"Quick, quick...catch him, don't let him run away." It's better to catch everyone one by one than those who haven't caught any. Shaoyu's sudden appearance immediately made Demi Lu's eyes light up, and immediately
, and rushed forward. He grabbed one of Shaoyu's arms with both hands, as if he was afraid that the other party would run away.
"Tsk tsk...you are young and strong. You can't even ask for this kind of person in normal times, but now he actually comes to your door?" Seeing that several brothers had restrained Shaoyu, the middle-aged man shook his head and sighed on the spot.
.
For a moment, everyone looked at Shaoyu as if they were looking at a fat sheep. Their faces were full of surprise.
Seeing this, Shaoyu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. The old man from before was really right. When these people saw him, it was like seeing long-lost brothers, so cordial...
"Ahem...Actually, I want to say that there is absolutely no need for you to drag me like this. I was originally going to join the army here." Shaoyu felt uncomfortable when two strange men grabbed his arms like this.
Some are not used to it.
"Hehe...I'm sorry. Regardless of whether what you said is true or not, I still feel that this way, I feel more at ease." He smiled at Shaoyu. This middle-aged man named Mi Lu still had two wrists.
He grabbed one of Shaoyu's arms tightly and showed no intention of relaxing.
The few people who had been prepared to be punished were now in a much better mood due to Shaoyu's sudden appearance.
In this way, Shaoyu was kidnapped by two strange men beside him and came to the military camp.
Curious eyes swept around. Everything here was far from being as chic as it looked outside, and instead looked more simple. There was a slightly larger open space not far away, which was used for training. But the equipment and tools next to it were...
It is dilapidated and dilapidated. I think it has been abandoned there for a long time.
In addition to the training ground, the rest is a small living room.
"Captain! You also know the situation in the city these days. We traveled to several villages and towns to catch this kid. Captain, please accept it!" Holding Shaoyu hostage with both hands, Mi Lu pretended to be someone who had worked hard and put in a lot of effort.
He looked aggrieved and said.
Seeing this scene, Shaoyu couldn't help but sneer. It's a pity that this guy named Mi Lu didn't perform on the street.
"Well! You can go eat and rest." Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded lightly. Immediately, his face changed drastically, and he shouted angrily to the other soldiers beside him, "Look at his rice road."
How did you do it? And you can't catch anyone, but you are still here looking for endless excuses? Each of you will be fined twenty army sticks. If it still happens tomorrow, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying that, the middle-aged man left angrily. And then there were bursts of shrill screams...
Seeing this scene, Mi Lu and Mark, holding their rice bowls in hand, couldn't help but secretly rejoice. If they hadn't met Shaoyu on the way back, they might have ended up like this.
Like Shaoyu, the captured recruits couldn't help but feel frightened after seeing this scene. At the same time, they were also afraid of the middle-aged man.
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat. All the recruits, line up here and get food one by one!" At this moment, an old man in a white hat held a spoon in his hand and knocked on the steaming cauldron.
, shouted again and again.
Hearing this, everyone present immediately became energetic. No matter how good the food was, perhaps in this military camp, only at this moment is the most enjoyable time.
"Hello, my name is Mr. Yu. Do you know where we will go next?" Holding the delicious food in his hand, Shaoyu took advantage of his leisure time to inquire.
Considering that he is somewhat famous, Shaoyu did not give his real name when dealing with people!
Because Shaoyu doesn't know where the soldiers recruited here will be sent. Even if they are sent to the front line, there are many war zones there.
"Hello, my name is Wade. I was captured by them two days ago, so I don't know. But I heard that a general from the empire's front line will come in two days, and then we followed him. From now on
From now on, we will be his subordinates, and we will go wherever he goes." After patiently explaining to Shaoyu, the man named Wade showed a sad look on his face, "I hope I can
Live just a little!”
Even with the prayers in his heart, Wade did not dare to have too much extravagant hopes. He just prayed to live longer, not to survive. This shows how important the word "battlefield" is in Wade's heart.
of fear.
Not only Wade, I believe many people feel like they are in a nightmare when they hear the word war!
"Oh? So that's it!" Hearing this, Shaoyu murmured in a low voice.
"Master Yu, you were just arrested today? Many people ran away a few days ago, why are you still being arrested now?" Wade asked curiously.
In his opinion, the lucky ones who have not been caught so far have all run out of the city early or found a good hiding place. In other words, as long as he does not want to show up, he can believe in these so-called
It is difficult to catch another soldier who is a soldier. But Shaoyu is an exception.
"Oh? I came to join the army on my own initiative." Shaoyu said without hesitation with a slight oh.
Hearing this, a group of people nearby looked at Shaoyu blankly with idiotic eyes...
