Suldak spread the news that he would form a militia camp, but the villagers' reaction surprised him.
He waited in the police station for three days. Only three veterans with slightly disabled legs from Guta Village came and expressed their willingness to join the militia camp in Surdak.
As for the villagers in Wall Village, so far no one is willing to join the militia camp.
Even some villagers would stay away from Surdak when they saw him, fearing that Surdak would come after them for recruiting militiamen.
Surdak did not expect that the villagers would be so repulsive to the militia camp... He thought carefully for a long time before he discovered the reason.
One is because the dark side of the national recruitment system has caused the villagers to lose their last bit of confidence in the army.
It’s just that Surdak couldn’t figure it out. When the bandits attacked the village, these villagers all had the courage to fight, and some people risked their lives to defend Wall Village, but no one asked them to join the militia camp.
willing.
Secondly, it happens to be the busy farming season now.
Many villagers were worried that the farm work in the fields would be affected. Some villagers expressed their support to Suldak in setting up a 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 a day than join the militia camp.
The old village chief did not tell everyone that there was almost no training in the summer militia camp.
The old village chief was worried that if he said this in advance, Surdak would not be able to command this group of recruited militiamen during the summer season. Once some things become a habit, it will be difficult to change it.
When Suldak walked to the children's home in Wall Village, he saw Selina standing in front of a wooden board, teaching a group of children to practice writing letters with charcoal.
Seeing Suldak coming, Selena asked the children to disperse and play around the central square of the village for a while, but don't forget to have lunch later.
The children of all sizes dispersed in a hurry, and the temporary children's yard suddenly became empty and quiet.
Suldak sat on a small wooden stool in front of the podium with some depression, looking up at Selena who was standing beside the podium.
Selina folded her hands on her chest, with a gentle smile on her face, leaning her elbows on the podium and looking at Suldak.
The situation at the children's home has improved, and they are basically all children from the village.
Because the children from other villages were far away and it was busy farming season, the adults had no time to send them over, so they had to stay at home.
After entering summer, wild vegetables and some berries began to grow, so villagers from other villages did not need to send their children all the way here just for 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.
Selina put her face close to Suldak and asked him with a smile:
"Why do you always look so sad lately?"
Surdak rubbed his temples and complained to Selina:
“I really don’t understand why the villagers reject the militia camp so much.”
"Oh, it's because of this matter!" Selina smiled. She knew that Suldak had been busy with this matter recently. After thinking about it, she comforted him and said, "Everyone is busy building a house. Who knows?"
Who would run to you to join your militia camp at this time? This kind of sturdy and weather-proof house can probably be lived in for a lifetime once it is built. Who would run to you to join your militia camp at this time! Even if you hide,
Not as good as..."
Surdak looked at the small buildings rising one after another in the village and said with a look of astonishment:
"is that so?"
Selena nodded with a smile, her plump figure showing a graceful outline under her long skirt, and whispered to Suldak:
"Otherwise you recruit me and I will be your soldier..."
…
The ogre went to Beigou Pasture to herd sheep. He was worried that someone would steal the village's yellow sheep.
After the rainy season came, the sea buckthorn grass and thirsty grass grew wildly for so many days in Beigou grassland, and the entire hillside was lush and green.
The yellow sheep in Wall Village eat from morning till night, just to store themselves a thick layer of fat before autumn, so that they can survive the next winter safely.
In recent times, Gulitem has eaten a lot of salamander meat left by Surdak, and unknowingly, Gulitem's size has increased again.
…
Suldak waited in Wall Village for more than half a month.
Villagers from other villages saw that three veterans from Guta Village with hidden leg problems joined the militia camp. Surdak actually did not refuse. Some veterans from each village who had retired from the battlefield with injuries came to Surdak.
Ke signed up and expressed his willingness to join the militia camp.
Of course, not all types of veterans are recruited. Most of the veterans recruited are those who can be cured.
The Green Empire has a universal military recruitment system. Male empire citizens can join the army and serve in the military for four years between the ages of 16 and 20.
Once you have not joined the army before the age of 20, you will be forcibly recruited by the local law enforcement group.
These people will be labeled by the military as 'people trying to evade 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 join the army after their 16-year-old adult ceremony.
There are also some aristocratic junior colleges who go to advanced warrior colleges to further their studies. These people enter the army and become the lowest-level officers. This will avoid unnecessary casualties.
In these villages in the deserted land, a group of young people are recruited 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.
Less than one-third of the young people are able to return home from the battlefield alive every year.
And among these less than one-third of young people, there are 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 their arms or thighs. The medical conditions on the battlefield are so bad that there is no way to reattach them.
Prompt and effective treatment will result in Scirocco becoming disabled.
As for those who had a leg cut off or an arm broken by the enemy, few of them could come back alive once they were so seriously injured.
Because these veterans have hidden diseases, they are usually unable to help their families with farm work. I heard that the Surdak Knights in Wall Village have set up a militia camp here, recruiting all veterans, and giving them a bag of wheat flour every month.
Rejecting veterans with disabilities, they came here to try their luck.
Although these veterans are not very flexible, they have rich combat experience. Moreover, the hidden diseases that cannot be cured in the eyes of these veterans can still be cured by Surdak, who possesses the Holy Light Technique.
In the past twenty days, the number of disabled veterans Suldak had recruited quickly reached more than 40.
After the old village chief finished supervising the construction of townhouses at the entrance of the village and turned back to look at the recruitment situation in Surdak, he realized that the villagers of Wall Village were collectively stupid.
Instead of actively joining the militia camp as promised, everyone went to the village construction site to earn money.
When the old village chief heard the news, he was furious. He angrily ran to the central square of the village, summoned all the villagers, and cursed all the villagers, saying: 'You people are worse than the kobold slaves at the entrance of the village.
If you are ignorant... you will be poor for the rest of your life.'
Facing the furious Mayor Bright, many villagers stood in the crowd and lowered their heads in shame.
Despite this, there are still few villagers willing to join the militia camp.
