Chapter 174: Kate's Journey to the Army (3)
After eating, Kate and they have an hour and a half of rest, they can make full use of this time to consume food, at this time on the school field, the recruits walked towards their barracks in groups of three or five, they wore training uniforms, while enjoying the sunshine, while enjoying the feeling of fullness, at this time, if you take the last generation of cold lemonade, that small day, it is simply refreshing.
"Kate, look over there!"
Kate, who was taking a walk, followed the greeting of her friend and looked into the distance, where, another group of recruits also walked towards their barracks, both sides were recruits, and they were dressed exactly the same, but anyone could see that they were two different groups, Kate and each of them were rigorous and serious here, and there was no obvious pursuit of food, and their attitude towards food was more indifferent.
But on the other side, it's different, almost every one of them is still holding a chicken leg on the road after eating, a group of people together is not like discussing national affairs here, but constantly discussing women with flying eyebrows, and when talking about excitement, they will even do some more obscene actions, and then immediately stand upright, look around modestly, and find that no instructor noticed him, and then he was relieved.
If there is the most direct gap between the two sides, then on the one hand, it is serious and serious, and on the other hand, it is cynical!
"It's the peasants again. ”
Kate saw those who seemed to him to have no military appearance, and even every action was insulting His Majesty the Great Son of God, but he was helpless, the two sides had already fought for various reasons, and Kate and the others were completely helpless against the people on that side.
Kate is watching the peasant soldiers, and the peasant soldiers are also watching Kate, Lelouch conscription is not directly recruited from the White City, the first batch of soldiers is given priority to choose from the garrison and the northern peasant soldiers, the only thing that the northern peasant soldiers have to do is the political assessment, which is also to ensure the loyalty of the first batch of recruits, after all, they will be the core part of the 100,000 garrisons behind, and loyalty is very important.
Ola shook the outside eight characters, with a lazy expression of the first in the world, contemptuous of this Kate's direction, he was holding a greasy chicken leg in his hand, and the training uniform that was washed last night was now dirty and messy again, although it would cause the instructors to reprimand and punish him, but Ola They thought it was a good way to prove themselves, and they even relied on who was punished the most to measure who was the boss in the barracks.
"The little cubs on the other side are looking at the grandfathers again, haven't they been beaten enough!"
Ola's arrogant tone of voice caused the laughter of his friends around him, but now they are only at the level of laughter, no one dares to act more excessively, they are not afraid of punishment, but they are afraid of one thing, and the instructor made it clear last time that if there is another fight, then it will be deprived.
It is: military status.
Ola They are actually very young, there is not much difference in age between the people on the two sides, it's just that the growth environment is different, but one thing is the same, that is, the fanatical belief in Lelouch and the desire for glory, Ola can't forget his previous life, and he can't forget his feelings when he learned that he passed the examination and could become a garrison soldier, Ola felt that it was the happiest day of his life.
The Aura family is an ordinary peasant in the north, they work hard every day, just to meet the double taxes of the nobles and Mordor, their own family can save up to the next year's pitiful food, in Ora's memory, his childhood did not have any joy and happiness, only endless hunger, and a stomach that seems to be unable to fill anything.
His childhood was tragic, he had four siblings, but in the end, he and he were the only ones who survived, his two sisters and younger brother starved to death, Ola could not forget the three moments that made him want to go crazy, especially when his youngest and last sister died, he felt that he had received an unprecedented shock.
It was an afternoon day, and after being forced by his father to stuff a handful of crumbled bread grains that he didn't know where to pick them up, Ola sat on the eaves of the doorway, and he looked at the big table in the room, where his last sister sat on the table, looking at herself, calling her name over and over again, her thin right hand seemed so weak, she stretched out her hand as if she wanted to grasp something, but couldn't.
The voice grew weaker and weaker, until it disappeared completely, and Ola sat on the eaves all the time, looking at his sister who was slowly dying, his eyes were wide open, and he seemed to have forgotten to blink, his breathing was very slow, and he seemed to have forgotten to breathe, and when the last sister also died, Ola looked at the weak body lying on the table, and a question suddenly arose in his little heart:
"Why? Why do we have to work so hard in exchange for death?!"
This question has always puzzled Ola, who has always been with him as an adult, and as a member of the vast number of peasants, he has worked day and night, vowing never to starve any of his family to death again, although their lives are still tight, but at least they can hold on, and Ola feels that he is like this, he will consume himself in the fields like his aging parents, until suddenly one day a priest dressed in coarse linen breaks into this small village.
He brought news from the outside world, and even more, hope!
The beautiful life in the garrison greatly shocked the people of Ora's entire village, he couldn't believe that there was such a paradise in this world, and at the same time had an endless desire for Lelouch as the Divine Son, they hoped that Lelouch could become their lord and bring that life to themselves, but the great Divine Son seemed to be only in his garrison.
Aura is still very young and he wants to go out for a while, but he can't let go of his parents, and his new sister, he will go to the priest's room every day to pray and listen, he feels that he feels the kindness of the son of God through the priest, so when the priest called on everyone to join the army and rush to the aid of Fort Horn, Aura gritted his teeth and joined the army, and in return, it was the nobles who tacitly reduced taxes and gave a certain amount of food compensation.
It's just that Aura recognizes the food, the pitiful harvest that his family has worked so hard to grow for a year.
The rest of the story is simple, Ola relied on his young and strong, he was lucky to survive the cruel war, and came to the bustling White City with the army, and Ola, who had seen the Horn Fort and the White City in a row, was deeply fascinated by these magnificent buildings, and in the legend of Lelouch along the way, Lelouch regarded Lelouch as the savior of mankind, when he saw Lelouch standing at the tip of the Ogulis Shrine and pulling out the holy sword to emit endless light, Aura cried.
He didn't cry for Lelouxiu, but for his three younger brothers and sisters who died, why didn't they persist until this day, until the day when Lord Miko ascended the throne as emperor, yes, every low-level people firmly believed in Lelouxiu, they believed that Lelouch would bring them the life they had longed for, that they did not have to worry about eating and drinking, had their own land and big house, and that beauty appeared countless times in their dreams.
So of course, when the garrison put up a recruitment sign in the northern peasant academy, countless peasant soldiers squeezed their heads, they all hoped to join the army of the Son of God, although most of them were for the beautiful welfare that was almost suffocating, but Ola knew that he was there to sacrifice his life for His Majesty the Son of God.
When Ola was on the list of people who passed at the end, Ola felt like he was the happiest person in the world at that moment.
Even though it has been almost a month since he joined the new army, Ola still feels inexplicably moved every time he thinks about it, and at the same time, he also pays more attention to the clothes on his body.
Of course, they also despise the little cubs of the garrison who live under the mercy of the Son of God and have never experienced anything, and they seriously reprimand them for not knowing etiquette and not eating, to be honest, Aura really wants to pull out his sword and cut their tongues, to see if these 'civilized people' who know nothing don't need to eat.
"Ola, tonight's vacation, do you want to go to that tavern in the West Side, last time that girl was clamoring to marry you!"
It seems that in order to respond to Kate over there, a friend next to Ola deliberately yelled loudly, to be honest, after Ola put on a formal suit, he is indeed an impeccable handsome guy.
"That's right, Ola, go ahead, it just so happens that there are no little cubs on the other side of the place, just happy and clean!"
Although Ola also looked down on the flowers in the greenhouses opposite, he still couldn't let go of this man and woman, so he had to pick up his chicken leg and bite it hard, and then pretended to be indifferent:
"Hey, there are a lot of little girls who are clamoring to marry me, will you take a fancy to that?"
After Ola finished speaking, he was afraid that his friends would continue to coax him, so he hurriedly ran to the camp in the distance, and there was still a little training in the afternoon, and after the training, they could go out.
...
The White City at night began to show its charm, the countless bright lights made this magnificent city like a modern city, and the first policy implemented by Lelouch after coming to power was to cancel the curfew, and the night is the most active time for urban consumption, although Lelouch can hardly collect much tax from the White City now, but it can slowly cultivate this market.
And there is a place to consume, the crowd has a way to pour, in a commercial street for the bottom of the city, there is almost the best decoration and service on the ground floor, and the price is extremely fair, so almost every night, it is overcrowded.
It's just that it's different from the past, today's commercial street is obviously much more lively than a few days ago, almost all the bosses are looking forward to it, looking at the avenue in the inner city, they are all waiting, waiting for those, holiday, cute, little golden sheep ~ Oh no, it's the great god son warrior!
When the first enthusiastic shout sounded at the mouth of the avenue, all the bosses knew that tonight's battle for customers had begun!
"Master Jun, Master Jun, please here, didn't I promise to serve you comfortably last time?"
"Great, respectable Divine Son's Majesty's garrison soldiers, the shop has a new event, anyone who spends five silver dollars or more in the shop can get a free bucket of wine, tonight's event: don't get drunk or return!"
“。。。 ”
The little two who showed their magic powers, desperately snatched the customers, these soldiers are rich, not to mention, but also extremely generous, and even more rare is extremely edible, at least two to three silver coins per seat at each meal, which is not a small amount, so the bosses who have figured out the rules of the soldiers' holidays are preparing all their strength on this day, ready to grab some guests, especially those soldiers from the peasant soldiers, they are the most edible group of people, but compared to those who came from the garrison, this group of lords is also very good-tempered, not so easy to serve.
So almost every store launched two different services for these two different groups of people, and even the signboards became different, and in the end, it even formed a garrison where the soldiers ate on the right and the peasants ate on the left, and then the atmosphere on both sides formed a stark contrast.
On the one hand, they laughed uncontrollably, feasted, and then broke some dishes and chopsticks, and there were several small brawls.
On the one hand, they chatted and reminisced, pushed the glass and changed the lamp, and then called the brother and sister, and held a small drinking party with the next few seats.
This seems to be similar to the previous situation, but today there was a little accident, Aura was dragged by the brothers and was extremely embarrassed to walk into the tavern that he said in the morning, the boss saw that these people were almost smiling, just now he was still reprimanding his little two did not grab the guests, and as a result, such a big gift fell, and at the same time, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly asked people to go to the back and call out a young girl who usually helps in the kitchen.
With the division of the military branches, the garrison does not have too many requirements in these aspects, they are more demanding to be close to the people, let them connect with the people, and shape a people's children to come out, and there are several waves of peasant soldiers from Luluxiu behind this tavern, and they began to eat and drink after greeting each other, and at the same time constantly making jokes that are not too excessive on the plump cooks and handsome girls in the past.
Only the girl in Ola's picture didn't make any jokes, and even if she did, it was definitely a joke that brought him and Ola together.
It's rare for Ora to speak, so she can only pretend not to hear and bury her head in eating, but today's situation is a little different, the original noise suddenly quieted down in an instant, and the boss stood at the door and screamed bitterly, Ora looked at the door suspiciously, but saw Kate standing at the door with a group of garrison recruits.
"Boss, may I ask if there are any seats? There are thirteen of us!"
Before the boss could answer, the peasants and soldiers inside had already mocked:
"Don't you see that there is still a seat? Just come in directly, you have to pretend to ask, aren't you tired?"
The words of this peasant soldier caused the others to burst into laughter, and they had already made it clear that they were not welcome in this place, but Kate and the others walked in as if they didn't hear it, and sat down at an empty table and began to order, but the storefront, which was originally lively, became quiet at this time, and the two groups of people stared at each other, and the whole room seemed to be filled with fierce sparks.
In this commercial street, the most feared situation is that two groups of people sit together, because according to past experience, they will definitely fight, although they will rush to lose money afterwards, but in this way, it will take a lot of effort to repair, right?
The uncomfortable silence didn't last long, as the crowd slowly ate, everyone continued to eat as if they couldn't see each other, to be honest, the taste outside is really not as good as in the barracks, but the good thing is that they can drink casually outside, and there are beautiful girls to watch, that's why it's like this, otherwise who will come?
When the mood returned to a high point, the young people from the peasant soldiers began to joke with Ola again, and they didn't know who it was, and deliberately gently pushed the girl who was drunk and clamoring to marry Ola, and the girl screamed slightly and fell on Ola's body, which made Ola's face redder, but he felt infinite excitement in his heart, but...
Bang Chang !!
Kate stood up suddenly, his face was pale, and he looked extremely angry, Kate's performance naturally affected the enthusiasm of the peasants, and many of them stood up in an instant, looking at Kate threateningly, Kate's partners were not to be outdone, and they had an attitude of starting if they didn't agree with each other, and Ora as the center naturally couldn't sit still.
And Ora was also very angry that Kate really dared to meddle at this time, he stood up directly, without any words or expressions, just picked up a clay wine jug and threw it at Kate, the group fight, and it began!
The fight in this shop was very loud, and the people on both sides who saw their own people being beaten hurriedly rushed over to help, and it quickly spread, everyone drank a lot of wine at this time, and naturally it didn't matter who you were, let's talk about it, and Ola and Kate in the middle were the most fierce fights, if they didn't still retain a trace of rationality, they might have used sharp weapons to fight a long time ago, instead of continuing to use their fists like now.
It's just that this place quickly alarmed the above!
