Chapter 222: Ryder

Ryder woke up from bed at six in the morning because of a habit he had developed for a long time. After a simple wash www.biquge.info he began to pack his bags, and today is the day to set off with the army to resist the invasion of the dark elves.

Ryder is a small leader of the Imperial Janissary Brigade in Blue Star City, he was originally an orphan living in the orphanage of Hengduan Fortress, and after leaving the orphanage, he joined the army directly, and after some simple tests, he became an ordinary Imperial Janissary in Hengduan Fortress.

Ryder felt that his life in the fortress could be described as dark compared to the present, and the officers in the Hengduan Fortress simply regarded ordinary soldiers like themselves as personal property. Every day, in addition to coping training, I helped the officers with all kinds of chores, and ate food that was difficult to swallow, so sometimes I couldn't eat enough. Sometimes Ryder even felt that his status might not be as good as the orc slaves that the officers had bought.

At the time of Hengduan Fortress, it was already a pleasure to receive one-tenth of the monthly salary promised at the time of the fortress's recruitment. As for where the rest of the money went, no one would ask, and no one dared to ask since a few stunned young men asked this question to their bosses and were beaten half to death.

Ryder came to the Monster Forest because one day the officers gathered his minions and said that they were going to avenge the dead son of Marquis Roy. In fact, the soldiers have always treated the annoying fat pig with a pleasant attitude towards the murder of the annoying fat pig.

That fat pig is a scourge in the Hengduan Fortress on weekdays, and he is rampant in the fortress all day long, lending usury, and robbing people's daughters as commonplace as usual for him. After the fat pig died, I don't know how many people applauded loudly in private. However, although he has no interest in avenging the fat pig, he is only a small soldier, and he can only do what the commander says.

Ryder still remembers that when he came to the Warcraft Forest, he was frightened by the mines planted by the lord in advance. Because he was on the march in the front line of the large army, he saw with his own eyes the sight of the soldiers in front of him being blown up directly into the sky after stepping on a mine, and since then he has only dared to follow the footprints of those who walked in front of him when he was marching, and he did not even dare to step on it anywhere else.

In the days that followed, the army was harassed with a seemingly never-ending end, and every night he and his companions had become a luxury, and during the day he had to hurry, and for days he could not feel the presence of his feet while marching. Then came the head-on battle with the lord, where Marquis Roy's troops were unsurprisingly defeated after several days of harassment, and became a prisoner of the enemy himself.

After becoming a prisoner, Ryder thought he was going to have darker days than he had in Hengduan Fortress, but it turned out to be different. In the beginning, the officers in charge of the prisoner camp would wake everyone up early every morning and take them to the playground in the middle of the camp for training.

The first training was to run with weights and ten laps along the playground behind the officer. Ryder still remembers the first time he ran, except for himself and some captives with better physical fitness, everyone else was directly tired and fell down in the middle of the run, and finally he was appointed as the captain because he finished the race, and he was in charge of a team of ten people.

The morning run was just an appetizer, and after a breakfast that was many times better than the pig food they had eaten at the Crossing Fortress, the captives continued to undergo a variety of physical training. For example, push-ups, sit-ups, squats, high leg raises, etc., after the first day of training, the entire prisoner camp can be described as wailing.

After half a month of training, the soldiers in the prisoner camp finally got used to it and were able to complete all the training within the specified time. After the soldiers got used to it, Ryder and the others ushered in a new task, that is, after completing the training tasks every day, they went to the Blue Star City under construction, helped build the city walls or houses, and did some things that should be done as prisoners.

A month later, after gradually adjusting to his current life, Ryder ushered in something that made all the captives feel incredible. That is, the lord of Blue Star City actually gave them a military salary, and he still hadn't been deducted, which was much more generous than in Hengduan Fortress. Ryder was still a little confused when he got his salary, thinking that he was dreaming, and slapped himself a few times, until his face was swollen and he felt a tingling pain, and Ryder finally determined that he was not dreaming.

With a military salary of as much as one gold coin in his hand, Ryder was so excited that he couldn't speak, he touched a gold coin for the first time in his life. Carefully putting the gold in his arms, Ryder felt for the first time that being a prisoner in Blue Star City was actually not bad.

The following days are to follow the large army to receive various training in the playground of the barracks every morning, and in the afternoon to bring his men to help in the Blue Star City, after dinner, you can move freely for a while, as long as you return to the barracks before eight o'clock in the evening. And every few days, the officers of the captive camp would take turns to give them a day off, let them go around the city of Blue Star, buy something with their military pay, or go to the tavern in the city to drink a cup of unforgettable moon wine.

Gradually, Ryder found himself liking the city and the way it lived. Especially in this city, everyone is equal, even the rat people who are annoying in the southern plains have changed their bad habit of stealing things here and are working seriously. He can make friends of many different races here, without being ridiculed by others, and no one will look down on him because of his status as a captive, and Ryder sometimes even thinks that it is a good thing to be a captive in this city all the time.

A few months later, Ryder met a young girl who had been thinking about her day and night, a young girl from the White Snake tribe who had just arrived in the city from the Orc Empire, and her name was Dini. Ryder still remembers the first time he saw Dini, and he was stunned, only to look at the people stupidly, and he didn't even hear the cries of his companions around him.

Since then, after Ryder has completed his daily tasks, he has followed the others to the factory outside the city, waiting for the girls of the White Snake Clan to come home from work in the factory, and stupidly looking for the figure that haunts him in the crowd, just to be able to see her.

The days went by, and finally one day, Ryder couldn't help it, bought a bottle of moon juice from the city, and was so bold that he ignored the ridicule of the others and waited at the door of the factory for Dini to come out. Then when Dini came out, the words that had been organized for a long time were suddenly stuck in her throat, so she could only stuff the juice into someone's arms, and then turned around and ran away like a fool.

For the next few days, Ryder showed up at the door of the factory every day, with a bottle of moon juice in his hand, and when Dini came out, he shoved it into someone's arms, then turned and ran away. Finally, one day, when Ryder was about to run away again, he was stopped by Dini.

After holding Ryder, Dini withdrew her little hand like an electric shock, and then said to Ryder with a blushing face: "Thank you for the juice, my name is Dinee, I don't know your name yet." ”

"I ...... My name is Lai ...... Ryder, no...... You're welcome. Seeing the goddess in his mind talking to him, Ryder stammered in reply.

"Why did you give me juice?" Dini asked, looking at Ryder with a smile.

"I ...... I ......" Ryder's face turned red directly when he was asked by Dini's words, and he held back a sentence for a long time: "I want to send you home." After saying this, he really wanted to die.

"Okay, let's go." Dini smiled and nodded, walked out first, walked back to Ryder after a few steps, and said, "By the way, you don't want to buy juice for me in the future, this is so expensive." "It's really expensive, a bottle of juice sells for a silver coin in Blue Star City, but he can afford it with the loud noise Ryder gets every month.

Then Ryder took a mechanical step and stiffened his body to send Dini home amid the commotion of the soldiers around him. Then he lost sleep that night, and his mind went back and forth with the words that Dini had said during the day, and the next morning he participated in the training with a pair of panda eyes, and was severely reprimanded several times by the commander in charge of training.

In the days that followed, it was Ryder's happiest moment to accompany Dini home outside the factory every day, and whenever Dini smiled at him, Ryder felt as if he was about to float. Ryder sometimes even thinks that if Dini agrees to his pursuit, he will start saving money and then buy a house in Blue Star City and live in it with Dinee.

But happy days are always short-lived, and just as Ryder slowly gets acquainted with Dinee and stops stammering, Ryder discovers that there are suddenly a lot more troops outside the city. Based on his previous experience as a soldier in Hengduan Fortress, Ryder knew that there would suddenly be so many more troops, and there would definitely be a war. Sure enough, yesterday Ryder received an order to start packing up with his men, and tomorrow he would set off with the large army to meet the invaders in the Warcraft Forest.
