Early the next morning, just after dawn, the waiter of the hotel they were staying in knocked on the door.

When Emil came out to open the door, he found that the waiter's attitude was obviously not good.

"The time is up, you'd better leave quickly, before I ask someone to blast you."

At this time, Sain also woke up. He heard the waiter's words in the room and suddenly became very angry.

They were wronged in the army yesterday, and then were brutally beaten in a restaurant. They thought their misfortune would end there, but they never thought that this town was simply eating people without spitting out their bones.

He rolled out of bed angrily and walked quickly to the waiter. Almost at the same time, a fist as big as a sandbag hit the waiter's face.

The waiter was as thin as a long bamboo pole. After being punched, he flew out and hit the wall across the room, losing consciousness instantly.

"Sion, why did you..."

Emil wanted to blame him. After all, they came to join the army. If someone killed someone in the town, they would probably be dealt with by military law.

However, Sion also seemed to regret his impulsiveness.

"Sorry, I took action without thinking too much. Maybe I was angry because I got up, haha." He explained while scratching his head.

Emil was speechless. He quickly ran over to see if the waiter was dead.

"It's a good thing he's not dead, otherwise we would have been in big trouble."

"What does it matter? We are going to escape from this town today anyway." Sain didn't care.

"..." Emil wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the truth.

"Haha, you think so too, right?"

"Oh, stop talking, let's leave quickly."

"Um."

After packing their luggage, the two hurriedly left the hotel. The scene was very similar to yesterday morning, when they hurried to the town, but unfortunately everything was reversed now.

Because they walked through it yesterday, they quickly arrived at the back gate of the town. Just like yesterday, the door was guarded by two soldiers.

However, the strange thing is that the soldiers simply ignored those who came in from outside the city, but they had to confirm those who left the city on a booklet.

Emil came to the two soldiers nervously, and one of the soldiers stretched out his hand to stop him.

"You, tell me your name." The soldier's tone was cold.

"..."

"What are you waiting for? Tell me your name quickly." The other soldier saw him hesitating and immediately became impatient.

"Haha, I'm sorry, you two, we won't leave the city."

Sean understood what was going on, and quickly pulled Emil and walked back while smiling and apologizing.

After walking far away, Serge could not help but punch the wall of the surrounding building. The solid wall immediately cracked, which was enough to show his anger.

"Tsk, tell me, what is this? I finally know why we were asked to register when we entered the military camp yesterday," said Sain hysterically.

Hearing his complaints, Emil suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. His eyes were dull and his body slid along the wall to the ground.

"What's going on?" Sion asked quickly.

"It's nothing, I just don't understand." Emil said softly.

Thain understood his feelings very well, but he was also upset himself and couldn't think of anything to say to comfort his friend.

Anyone would feel melancholy when encountering such a thing, not to mention that when they set out, they were very proud and thought that they would be able to realize their ambitions in the army, but in the end they were poured a lot of cold water on them.

In fact, they didn't care that much about consolation money or anything like that, but the army's attitude seemed too arrogant, and they even used tactics to force them to stay.

They couldn't help but think of what the officer said at the same time, that is, the military camp did not provide food and had to eat outside. This inevitably made people doubt whether the restaurant that cheated them was also the same as the military camp.

In short, the two of them felt naked malice and huge frustration. They just leaned against the wall in a daze, without saying a word for a long time.

I don’t know how long it took, but it was already completely bright, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the street.

Sain thought for a long time, finally couldn't hold himself back and spoke.

"Well, Emil, I have to tell you the truth."

"……What?"

"We have experienced something like this. You must be disappointed with the empire's army. We obviously wanted to serve the empire, but the result was like this... But no matter what you think, I haven't given up on the original idea anyway. After all,

Joining the army is my only chance, and if you think about it, we can't leave now, right? So I think, since I've already come, I might as well let nature take its course."

"..."

Emil fell into deep thought. He felt that this statement made sense. For him, joining the army was not the only chance to get ahead. But he was very scared. He was afraid that in the end all his passion would be wasted.

Seeing that he was indifferent, Sean continued to persuade him.

"Although I don't want you to go to the army and suffer with me, we have experienced the test of life and death along the way, so we can be regarded as brothers... Haha, I don't know if I am being sentimental, but I don't want to lose you as a friend, so...

…”

Emil understood what he meant, thought for a while, and made up his mind.

"...Okay, for your sake, I'll go with you."

Emil didn't want to give up just like that, otherwise, even if he returned to his hometown, the good villagers would talk about him, not to mention

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Speaking of grandma, she must be extremely disappointed in him.

"That's great," Sion suddenly beamed, "But I promise you, no matter what happens, I will protect you with all my strength, just like last night."

"Hey, stop looking down on me. I don't want anyone else to protect me."

"Hehe, that's true."

…

When the two came to the military camp again, they found that the dozen recruits from yesterday had already arrived, and they were the last ones to arrive.

The officer was standing at the front of the team. Seeing the two people being late, his face suddenly became ugly.

"Oh, you two didn't come to town to enjoy themselves, did you? Why, did you wake up naturally after a long sleep?" the officer said in a strange tone.

Emil wondered why this man spoke so harshly like Grea, but he still had to show an apologetic smile.

"Sorry, it's our first time here, and we haven't adjusted our schedule yet..." Sain quickly explained.

"Huh? Is this the reason why you are late?" The officer refused.

"Tsk."

Emil smacked his lips secretly, and was even more dissatisfied with this guy, because he didn't say when to gather today.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there will never be a next time."

Sain continued to nod and bow. He knew very well that he couldn't even explain why he was right with such a person.

"Alas," the officer sighed, and then said, "Well, even if you made a mistake, I guess it was not your intention. It must have been your friend who got you into trouble. Young man, seeing as you are so clever,

I kindly give you a piece of advice, you still have to be careful when making friends, you might get tricked to death one day."

Emil suddenly gritted his teeth with hatred, but he also knew that a little impatience can ruin a big plan, so he had no choice but to remain silent.

"Yes, I will keep it in mind next time." Sain nodded solemnly.

"Haha, very good, let's go back to the team."

After that, the officer conducted a daily roll call. The person whose name was reported must immediately raise his hand and shout "Here" loudly.

However, when he called out a certain name, no one answered. Then the officer called out twice more, but still no one answered.

"Tsk," the officer became impatient, but he just sighed and said, "Forget it, let's treat this as a deserter."

Standing next to him were two heavily armed soldiers. After listening to the officer's words, they immediately understood and directly called a large group of people and went out.

Emil counted at random, and there were about twenty people, all riding horses and carrying long swords, and they rushed out of the military camp in a menacing manner.

"It's just one person, why should we go to such great lengths to fight?" Emil muttered in his heart.

Although he sympathized with the person who couldn't be there, he also felt a little lucky that he arrived at the military camp in time. If he and Sean really gave up joining the army today, death would probably be waiting for them.

From this incident, he deeply understood the brutal rule of this military camp, and he secretly made up his mind to escape from here one day.

…

After the roll call was completed, the recruits were taken into the weapons workshop, and the officers assigned more detailed work content.

This workshop looks unremarkable from the outside, and it is estimated that it cannot accommodate many people, but once you enter, you will find that it is not small inside. About a hundred craftsmen are sweating profusely, holding red-hot iron with pliers in one hand.

The other hand kept hitting the piece with a hammer, causing sparks to fly.

Emil noticed that a craftsman was forging a sword. After finishing the iron piece, he quickly inserted it into the bucket next to him. With a "chi" sound, the iron piece cooled down.

However, when the craftsman took out the iron piece, he accidentally hit the anvil used for blacksmithing nearby, and the iron piece instantly broke into several sections.

When the craftsman saw this scene, he froze on the spot. At the same time, a man hurried over with a book in his hand. Before the craftsman could defend himself, he started writing and drawing on the book.

"If you damage an iron piece, twenty gold coins will be deducted." The man said indifferently.
