As soon as Wang Yong and Kevin ran out of the alley, they saw several people coming over with torches, and when those people saw Wang Yong and Kevin, they surrounded them without saying a word, Wang Yong and Kevin did not dare to move, because by the light of the torches, the two of them saw that these people were wearing the armor of the imperial army.

At this moment, an officer in metal armor stepped out of the crowd, looked at the two of them and asked, "Where are you two and why are you here?"

Kevin replied, "My name is Kevin and his name is Ivan, we are all from this village, and we have just come back from going to Cinki City during the day, what happened here?"

The officer ignored Kevin, but casually said to the two soldiers beside him, "Take them to the castle and assemble." Then he said to the other soldiers, "Let us continue to search and see if there are any." With that, he turned and left with the other soldiers.

When Kevin saw that the two soldiers were going to take them away, he begged anxiously, "When we came back, we found that my sister was missing, can you let us go to my sister first?" ”

The two soldiers said impatiently: "No need to look for it, everyone is on the other side of the castle, you can find people when you go, go quickly." After Wang Yong and Kevin heard this, they followed in disbelief.

Wang Yong thought as he walked: "Your sister, what are you doing with everyone to the castle this big night? Aren't they armies, they're robbers?"

Thinking of this, Wang Yong winked at Kevin for a while, and told Kevin to run quickly if the situation was not right, and Kevin nodded imperceptibly.

Soon, the group arrived at the square near the castle, and from a distance, Wang Yong and Kevin saw that a lot of people had gathered outside the castle, and the people in the village were basically here.

Amy saw Wang Yong and Kevin, and ran over happily, grabbed their arms and asked, "Why did you come back so late? I'm worried about death, how is it? Nothing happened, right?"

When Kevin saw that his sister was fine, his heart finally let go, rubbed Amy's head with his hand, and said teasingly: "What can happen, but when I came back and found that you were not there, Ivan was so anxious that he was about to cry." He burst out laughing. Wang Yong didn't explain, just giggled beside him.

Amy blushed, glanced at Wang Yong shyly, and then hurriedly changed the topic and said: "I don't know why, a team of soldiers suddenly came to the village, and asked everyone in the village to come here, we have been waiting here for a long time, they don't say anything, they don't let us go back, everyone is waiting here." ”

Wang Yong looked around, the villagers were all speculating about what the army was looking for him, and the villagers couldn't find any useful news at all, so Wang Yong, Amy and Kevin didn't care so much, and talked about today's experience by themselves.

Kevin and Wang Yong told Amy about today's events, when it came to eating meatloaf, Wang Yong said that Kevin's eating was ugly, and his stomach was like a pregnant sow, Kevin said that Wang Yong's eating was too much than him, because he had no front teeth, and when he bit the meatloaf, there was always a piece that he couldn't bite, and he had to stuff something into his mouth with his hand, which made Amy giggle.

After another ten minutes or so, several groups of soldiers came in several directions, about twenty people, and with the addition of more than twenty at the castle, it is estimated that there is about a squadron of soldiers who came to the village—fifty soldiers.

I used to learn from the old man in the village that in the military system of the empire, ten people are a squadron, fifty people are a squadron, two hundred people are a brigade, one thousand people are a battalion, two thousand people are a legion, and the high one is a group army.

The population of this world is not large, and the standing army of an empire is only more than 50 legions and more than 100,000 people.

Wang Yong felt that the number of two thousand people in a legion was too small, and it was almost the same to get 10,000 people in each legion, but now there were more than fifty legions in such a mess, and he didn't know what the emperor thought. The old man did not understand the military system, he only said that the whole continent was like this, and it should be useful to divide it in this way.

Just when everyone was still speculating, the gate of the castle opened, and more than a dozen people came out from inside, and the one who walked in front was a young man dressed as a nobleman, with green hair, and his eyes were also green, about one meter eight tall, and his figure was thin, because Wang Yong They stood too far away, and they didn't see very clearly, but Wang Yong was sure that this person was very handsome, especially his eyes, which looked exceptionally bright against the backdrop of the firelight, just like the wild wolf king on the grassland, looking so arrogant and calm.

Kevin whispered to Wang Yong, "The person at the front is Baron Ray and Hayara, the lord of our village. ”

Wang Yong nodded and looked to the side, next to Reagan was a middle-aged man in armor, and the armor was much better than that of other soldiers, because he should be the commander of these soldiers.

Behind them are the soldiers in the castle, and Butler Hal is also there, because Wang Yong has been in this village for more than half a year, and he has been to the castle with Kevin a few times, so everyone is also familiar.

At the officer's suggestion, Ray and the Baron reluctantly stood on a large rock, and lazily said to the villagers: "I am the lord of this place, Baron Ray and Hayara. ”

He pointed to the officer and said: "This is Baron Jimmy Bryan, the squadron leader of the Imperial Solid Stone Legion, who came to us to recruit on behalf of the Empire, and now there is a war between our Empire and the Lawson Empire in the south, and the Empire is fully recruiting troops in our Lulan Province, and of course our village is among them, so I would like to ask Squadron Leader Jimmy to talk about the details of the conscription." After saying that, Reagan ignored Jimmy's displeasure and jumped off the boulder to stand aside.

At this time, after listening to Regan's words, the villagers began to whisper: "In the past, the two empires often fought wars, but they never came to us to recruit soldiers? Didn't the conscripts all go to the big city? Why did they come to our small village?"

Hearing people's discussions, Ray and Baron also felt indescribable guilt in their hearts, it turned out that this Jimmy defected to the Hayara family, that is, the family where Ray and Baron were, Lei and his half-brothers were squeezed out of the house, and only came here to be a small lord, but his brothers still did not intend to let him go, and took the opportunity of this war to send Jimmy here to recruit soldiers, and at the same time, Ray and Baron also had to lead private soldiers to participate in the war, with the resources and force here, and when the war ended, even if Lei and he did not die, it would be good for one-sixth of the men in his territory to come back alive, which was also a big blow to Lei He。

Jimmy jumped on the boulder cleanly, and said to all the villagers in an unquestionable tone: "Healthy men between the ages of sixteen and sixty will report over there in a moment. Jimmy said, pointing to a few soldiers sitting behind a desk.

"Each of the conscripts shall receive a salary of fifty pieces of silver, which shall not be paid until the end of the war. Assemble here tomorrow morning at six o'clock, bring your own equipment and weapons, and supply the army with food, and if anyone escapes, they will be punished as treason, and they will be executed on the spot without trial

After the day is set out, you will be under the command of Ray and the Baron. That's all, let's get started. ”

After listening to Jimmy's words, the villagers became angry, shouting that conscription was not voluntary? How could it be compulsory conscription this time? A few guys who were not afraid of things even scolded and said: "Damn, what does the war have to do with us, if you want to fight you, we will fight and find us to do our fart." If we go to war, what will happen to our families? This will not let people live? If you soldiers can't beat us, people will ask us to die, and we won't go. ”

Jimmy looked at this scene, sneered slightly, just raised a hand, and then waved it forward, at that moment, more than fifty soldiers aimed their spears at all the villagers, and several troublemakers were also caught by the soldiers and kicked wildly.

The regular army of the empire is still very deterrent to these villagers, and when they saw that the soldiers really made a move, no one dared to speak at the moment, and they all looked at the handsome lord, hoping that he could stand up and say something.

But Lei and the baron just lowered their heads, and the housekeeper of Hal just shook his head vigorously, and when everyone saw this, they knew that there was no other way, and those who met the requirements went over one by one to register for the leader's salary.

Amy cried when she heard Jimmy's words, because Kevin and Wang Yong were both within the scope of conscription, and if they went to serve as soldiers, if something happened, Amy didn't know what she would do in the future.

Kevin and Wang Yong are also very reluctant, but there is no way, they can't fight against the empire, just fight a war, there should be no danger if the two of them are clever, it's a big deal to be deserters.

When Kevin and Wang Yong received their military salaries after registering, and took Amy, who had already cried into tears, home, the two of them pulled Amy to comfort her, patted her chest and promised that she would come back alive, and Amy stopped crying.

Wang Yong took out the things he bought today and put them away, then took out the money and fabrics and handed them to Amy and said: "Amy, these cloths were bought today, the black ones are for me and Kevin, and the white ones are for you, you make your own clothes first, and the black fabrics are still being made after we come back, I guess we will all grow taller by then, and when we make them now, we won't be able to wear them, and we can't wear them as cropped pants, right?" Amy nodded while holding the fabric, and there were still undried tears on her face, and the sad look made people feel more and more pity.

Wang Yong took out the hair ornament in his arms again and gently put it on Amy's head, Amy's golden hair with silver-white hair ornaments looks even more charming, like a little starlight on the desert, bright but not dazzling, making people feel so natural and quiet.

Wang Yong hugged Amy and said softly in her ear: "After we leave, you have to take good care of yourself, I don't want my Amy to become an ugly girl when I come back!

Amy's face turned crimson when she heard this, and she whispered in disgust, "Who is yours?"

Wang Yong didn't say those meaty words, but turned around, gave Kevin a deep salute, and said solemnly: "Kevin, I really like Amy, if we can come back alive, I hope you can marry Amy to me." I, Ivan Yong, swear: I will take care of Amy and give her happiness in this life, and I will never let people bully her. ”

Kevin looked at Wang Yong, then at Amy, touched his chin and said meaningfully: "I don't have any opinion, Amy is willing, and, Ivan, as long as you don't dislike our pauper, you will marry Amy when we come back." Speaking of this, Kevin smiled evilly and said, "But you have to prepare a dowry or something, at least ten gold coins, I am such a sister, I don't want her to ask for dinner with you." ”

The corners of Wang Yong's mouth twitched, and he looked at Kevin dissatisfiedly and said, "Damn, you are a robbery, where do you let me steal ten gold coins, those are gold coins." And what do you dislike or dislike, we are all the same, as long as Amy doesn't dislike me, and if you hadn't taken me in at the time, my grave would have grown mushrooms now. ”

Amy's face turned even redder when she saw her brother marrying her in front of her, and she said shyly, "Who said I was going to get married?" and then ran into her room half angry and half happy.

Marriage is very early in this world, and sixteen years old has reached the marriageable age.
