Chapter 1 Recruitment of Recruits

In September 553, the Emperor of Gale waged an undeclared war and crossed the border with a million tigers and camped in front of the great fortress of Kasanla, where his troops descended on the city. When the news came, the capital was shocked, the country was in turmoil, and the dregs were overflowing; His Majesty hurriedly ordered the deployment of a large army and the recruitment of troops throughout the country to defend against a strong enemy.

Under the scorching sun, a long banner was unfurled, on which it was written crookedly: Recruit the prison guards - less than sixteen years old, more than sixty years old - take care of the food!

"Who the is it that we recruit recruits who are all old, weak, sick and disabled? Don't know how to read? 'Post-Supervisor Recruitment Office', this is the Prison Army, the regular army of the Empire. Don't keep picking your feet here, messing around, and stay there. "Yi Zheng impatiently dispersed the crowd.

He casually took off his military hat, revealing a delicate face, dark and bright eyes, and a faint smile on his mouth. His body is not strong and powerful, and his actions and words do not have the appearance of a regular army, if he is not wearing the uniform of a prison army, others will definitely think that he is a market gambler who came to collide in vain.

Because of the heat, he played with his dark hair vigorously, messing up like a lazy person who had just gotten out of bed, as if this was the only way to breathe and be comfortable.

"Oh, help the old man in the back to come, be careful, watch out for his crutches. Slow down, old man, are you also enlisted? Well, we just need a soldier like you. Come and help register. Yi Zhengqi stood under the roots of the tree and fanned himself with the palm of his hand, and his mouth was dry.

A fat overseer sneaked past Yi Zhengqi and walked aside, looking like a thief, and asked in a low voice, "Ah Qi, is it really appropriate for us to do this?" ”

"What's inappropriate?"

"Isn't that obvious? Don't be between the ages of sixteen and sixty, you see, it's either a kid or a bad old man, and others will say that we are running an orphanage, an old people's home. The fat overseer spread his palms.

"It's enough to be able to walk, to jump, to be able to pick up a sword, that's so much for that. You just have to rest assured, I, the chief of the war, will take care of everything. What are you afraid of? Yi Zhengqi patted him on the shoulder: "Do you remember the order from above?" ”

"We have to recruit 400 people no matter what we need today." Zhang Hao was complacent about his memory.

"It's a good memory. But you have to think about it, do you want to go to the front line when you recruit soldiers? Just these peasants, who had just laid down their hoes, were frightened to death without seeing what the enemy looked like, and it was impossible for them to go up and shoot with real swords. "Easy to recruit its step-by-step guidance.

"Then we're going to have to recruit some strong people, you see that tooth is gone." Zhang Hao felt inexplicable, this was not logical.

"Listen to me, don't look at the uselessness of our pile of thousand-year-old fossils in the museum, it's just to complete the task, anyway, there are the Royal Forest Army, the Expeditionary Force. Our supervising army is just putting on a show, and when you see our sweet potatoes and a few eggs, they will only be assigned to logistics, you know. Yi Zhengqi said it meaningfully.

"Ah, I see, we have completed the mission, and we don't have to fight...... Hush! Hehe, why don't we change it and recruit people under the age of thirteen and over the age of seventy. Zhang Hao's eyes lit up, recruiting these people back might be scolded a few words, but at most, he would send a few dollars to fool him, and he would be willing to do anything if he didn't go to the battlefield anyway.

"You're a little ruthless, and we can't ask for it if you're too old. How many people have been recruited now? "Easy to do.

"One hundred and eighty-four, it's still a long way off, there's a seventy-year-old over there, do you want it?" Zhang Hao pointed to a crowd of people.

"Yes." Yi Zhengqi stretched out his hand and waved his hand, and answered cleanly.

"Okay, come on, carry him over, count him in." Zhang Hao was overjoyed and one step closer to his goal.

Well? That's right. Lift?

Although it is said that this is only a small town, and the population is not rampant, it only needs to recruit 400 people, and the supply is still very sufficient.

"Captain, it's not good. Our recruits were beaten! A rear guard shouted for help from afar.

"How's it hurting? Call a medical professional right away. What the hell is going on, who doesn't want to live and dare to beat our prison army? Yi Zhengqi couldn't imagine that there were people in this remote place who dared to provoke the prison army.

"Just one person, surrounded by us. He walked over and did it, but the brothers couldn't react. Captain of the Warden, you might as well go over for yourself, one of them has gone mad and is crying and trying to kill himself. The rear supervisor reported in a panic.

Hurried to the back of the camp, only to find that the scene was even more chaotic than expected.

A group of rear guards shouted in horror.

"Don't be impulsive!"

"We're all overseers, not bad guys. You put the knife down first! ”

There was a small child standing alone in the field, probably only seven or eight years old. The clothes were also in tatters, and it took a long time to recognize it on the dirty little face before I realized that it was a little girl.

She shook her head in a panic, delirious, and stabbed herself in the neck with a sharp weapon in her small palm. Blood had begun to ooze from his throat, and his mouth kept shouting: "Go away, I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back." ”

"Sister. Don't do anything stupid! ”

A little boy stumbled out of the crowd next to him, he was covered in injuries, and the kind overseers behind him hurriedly stepped forward to grab him.

The little boy also looked like a beggar, he struggled desperately to come forward, obviously not good at words, but only knew how to cry out with tears all the time: "Sister, sister! ”

Yi Zhengqi looked at the sharp weapon in the little girl's hand and always felt very familiar. It was about a foot long, like an awl, and was black with scarlet spots.

The medical doctor who was present walked quickly: "Captain of the Warden, these two sisters and brothers have come to enlist in the prison army, and they were just registered when a man rushed in and said that these two were his slaves, and suddenly started beating people, almost killing people. The girl couldn't take it anymore and went crazy on the spot, and was about to kill herself, and we had to stop her immediately. ”

"Sneak up and put her down from behind. It would be difficult to do something stupid, she was just a little girl. Yi Zhengqi frowned and stared at the sharp weapon in the girl's hand.

"I'm afraid not, the bastard who just hit people was born tall, I see that he has practiced a few kung fu, and he didn't faint after hitting the girl twice. If you can't put it down, there will be more serious consequences. The healer wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This "more serious consequence" is understood by both of them, and there is no need to explain that there is only one.

"You get her attention in front, I'll try." It is easy to recruit it quietly.

"That's for the best."

At this time, the little boy who had been struggling all the way did not know where the strength came from, and suddenly broke free from the hands of the prison guards, and rushed forward crying and screaming.

"Sister!"

"Don't irritate her! Stop. All the overseers exclaimed in unison.

As soon as the words came out, Yi Zhengqi rushed forward with an arrow step, and picked up the boy by the waist with one hand. The girl, who had been crazy for a long time, was frightened, as if she had lost the last shred of her senses, and she screamed and slammed the sharp weapon into her throat!

Between the lightning and flint, everyone didn't have time to see clearly, Yi Zheng's eyes suddenly flashed weirdly, his left hand stretched out with a "bang", his five fingers opened hard, and the blood vessels on the back of his hand were clearly visible, as if he wanted to catch the little girl far away from the air.

Something even stranger happened, the little girl who was about to plunge a sharp weapon into her throat and kill her suddenly stopped, and she looked at Yi Zhengqi's strange eyes in a daze, without blinking, as if there was some mysterious magic there.

All this happened too quickly, and when the little girl stopped, the little boy on Yi Zheng's waist reacted, struggling and shouting, "Sister, how are you?"

Zhang Hao shouted to the overseers who wanted to come forward to help, stretched out his hand to hug the little boy, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, Commander Yi is here, your sister will be fine-everyone retreat!" Don't come forward! ”

Everyone wondered, why did the little girl suddenly stop?

I saw Yi Zhengqi approaching the little girl step by step, as if every step was extremely heavy, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from his eyebrows. The little girl seemed to be weak and drowsy. Yi Zhengqi's open palm finally rested on the girl's head gently, slowly.

"Hmm—" The little girl closed her eyes and fell limply on his arm.

Yi Zhengqi didn't bother to wipe his sweat, and tiredly handed the little girl to the medical doctor, and he took the inky black sharp weapon, and his hand was cold, like the scale armor of an animal, and he saw that this appearance was only a half-finished product.

The little boy standing on the side seemed to have realized something, and took the opportunity to shout: "Commander of the prison army, chief officer, you save us." I've heard that if you volunteer to join the prison army, you can be exempted from servitude. My sister and I both volunteered. My sister and I have long redeemed ourselves with money and goods, not slavery, I went to the Kong family with my mother to work to cast iron, my mother was killed by them, and the Kong family died and did not let us go. ”

Yi Zhengqi's heart was shocked, and his face changed again and again: This is a big trouble, don't be what I think!

"Zhang Hao, go and see where the guy who came to beat people is? Don't let him go! ”
