Mrs. Lily took Li Qi out to buy stew for the evening. There were only three people in the white room, George and Arthur Caterina, who had just returned from who knows where. They sat together on the sofa in the hall of the white room.
"You mean, you plan to apply for the military call-up, right?" After listening to Arthur's thoughts, George tapped his forehead with his fingers and fell into deep thought.
"Yes, I know I may not be able to change the situation of the battle or anything, but I want to do my little bit."
George raised his eyes and looked at Catalina who was standing aside for a moment. He tapped his fingers faster and said, "Arthur, I think you don't know the cruelty of war. I wonder if you have seen today's newspaper. The reason why people in the North District
The summoning order will be issued because Sunset Town first came into contact with the orcs. We were defeated or even defeated by the orcs. There were only a dozen or so people left in the team of 200 people. More manpower will be invested in the subsequent war, and the death toll will definitely be more than
It’s only going to go up.”
Arthur became depressed, lowered his head, and asked:
"So, George, you don't agree with me joining the army, do you?"
George stood up from the sofa, put one hand behind his back and the other hand across his body in a mature manner, turned around, and said slowly:
"Yes, I don't agree to let you join the army alone."
The frustrated expression on Arthur's face became more and more obvious. He drooped his mouth and looked down at the floor. George waited for dozens of seconds, then turned around with a smile:
"So, I'll go with you."
What? I heard you right. Arthur pushed himself up, stood up, shook George's shoulders excitedly, and kept shouting George's name. Catalina's expression on the side was much weird. George smiled
Pushing Arthur away, he continued: "I can regard you as my brother now. If you have such an idea of fighting to protect human territory, as your brother, how can I wait at home alone?"
You are back."
Arthur stood on tiptoe and hugged George's shoulders, but accidentally found Catalina biting her lower lip and looking at George vaguely. When he was confused, George knocked Arthur's head, "In this way, the newspaper said
He said that the registration office is on the street at the entrance of the North District, even on the street where we went to buy quills last time. You go there first and wait for me. I will come when I am ready. "
Arthur was half-pushed and half-squeezed out of the door by George. When he turned around, he found that George was speaking softly to Catalina, who was slightly taller than him. This is none of my business, right?
After just one glance, he walked towards the North District without interest. Compared with George and Catalina, what made him more excited was that he could also contribute a little bit to mankind.
If possible, I will not let others suffer the same tragedy as me. This is Arthur's original intention to join the army.
The atmosphere on the street is not as harmonious as before. The further you go to the North District, the fewer people on the street become. Except for a few young people in simple clothes hurriedly running to the North District, there are only a few businessmen carrying briefcases or working people.
Scholars, there used to be many people like this on the streets. However, Arthur didn’t know what those people did. The main working methods of human beings were mentioned in school, but Arthur had not actually seen them. He only heard about them.
Arthur couldn't quite understand what terms such as welfare, water conservancy, environment, and finance really meant.
When we came to the North District, the roadside sign indicated that the name of this street was Clermont Road, which is the road from the South District, East District of the West District to the North District. The location of this summons was located at No. 11 Clermont Road.
Provisional Military Registration Office.
Perhaps he had just received the news of the defeat from the newspaper. At this time, there were only one or two young men leaning against the wall and playing with their hats in boredom at the door of the registration office. Arthur bypassed the two people and walked into the door of the registration office. Inside the building, at this moment
Not yet ready to receive the future soldiers, a few workers were still assembling wooden tables under the direction of a short, sturdy woman in military uniform.
"Hello, madam, may I ask, is this the registration place stated in the summons order?"
The lady heard Arthur's voice, tightened her military uniform, and walked up to Arthur, "Yes, sir, this is the summons registration office, but sir, as you can see, we are still making preparations."
"How long will it take?" George's voice came from the door. Arthur turned around and smiled at each other, standing shoulder to shoulder.
The lady estimated the remaining workload. Originally, she wanted the workers to speed up, but it was indeed too sudden. The city lord also urgently ordered the construction of a registration office here. She took out a piece of white paper from the inner pocket of her jacket and tore it up.
Divided into four pieces of basically equal sizes, two pieces were handed to the two of them, "Okay, gentlemen, you can register your name, age and address first, because we still need to have a physical examination and screening. Come back at this time tomorrow.
When you come to me with these two pieces of white paper, I will give you priority to undergo a physical examination first. My name is Anis, and you can call me Staff Sergeant Anis."
We have to wait until tomorrow. Arthur took the paper and took the quill pen handed over by the lady in military uniform. This kind of quill pen is only used when charity schools hold activities. After preparing to fill in the information, Arthur and George will
The written message was handed over to Anis, and they were about to go back to the white room when Anis called out to the two of them from behind:
"Wait a minute, sir, are you only eight years old now?" She was referring to Arthur.
In fact, he was still eight years old just after his birthday. George spread his hands and asked on behalf of Arthur: "Yes, ma'am, my brother is only eight years old. Is there any problem with this?"
"I want to say sorry to this gentleman. Our Brighton City-affiliated army has regulations that prohibit the use of children under the age of sixteen as combat force. And this Mr. George, you can serve as a logistics force for Sunset."
The town delivers supplies and can also learn some ways to keep fit. "
Is there such a rule? No one has ever told me what the army is like. Arthur couldn't hide his disappointment.
George also looked embarrassed. In fact, he wanted to accompany Arthur more, and he has not reached the age of sixteen. "George, let's do this. You can join the logistics force first. I know that the logistics force is similar to a volunteer."
The same existence, please take my place first and make a little contribution to this city, okay." When George was still hesitant, Arthur took the initiative to convince George, "Ms. Anis, how old do you need to be to join the logistics team?
Where are the troops?"
"As long as Mr. George is as old as Mr. George, twelve years old. Since the logistics force is mainly responsible for the transportation of food, and they can also get additional physical exercise, I think this is not bad."
Arthur nodded and patted George's back like a big boy, as if comforting George but actually comforting himself, "George, wait for me for four years. In four years, I will join you in the logistics unit."
"
Seeing Arthur trying his best to pretend not to care, George couldn't refuse anymore, and started teasing Arthur, "The four years of war may be over, and it won't be your turn by then. Otherwise, I will already be here."
If you are a member of the official army, how can I still be waiting for you in the logistics unit?"
The two children encouraged each other and left No. 11 Clermont Road. As they passed the intersection, they passed by a well-dressed middle-aged man. The middle-aged man stopped where he was, took off the lens from his left eye socket, and carefully
After taking a closer look at the back of the shorter child, he smiled and shook his head. When he walked into No. 11 Clermont Road, a new set of faces appeared at the same time.
"Anis, how's it going?"
"It will probably be completed tomorrow morning, Lord Edwards."
Edwards nodded seriously, "I hope everything goes well."
