Chapter 161

Puda, a middle-aged man, is one of the few instructors in the town militia.

Although he is thirty-five years old this year, he is still a relatively young man in this small town. However, both young people and old people in this small town respect this "young man" very much, not only because he has participated in two real wars, but also because his moral character, words and deeds are deeply loved by people.

Puda is an orphan. He doesn't know who his parents are. He was adopted by a retired veteran.

At the age of 22, his adoptive father died, so by some chance, he joined the expedition of the kingdom to explore the wilderness and became a little halberd. Although in the kingdom of dabion, this branch can be regarded as a regular army with good pay, their only task on the battlefield is to be cannon fodder and only be responsible for attracting the enemy's firepower. No matter what branch and establishment of the enemy, they will always charge in the front line.

After three years of expedition, the expeditionary army finally went only 87 kilometers deep into the wilderness, more than 200 battles in size, and wiped out more than 30 tribes in the wilderness. This achievement may be brilliant in the eyes of outsiders, but it is not enough in places like the wilderness. During the three-year campaign, less than 100000 people of the 200000 expeditionary army finally came back alive, and more than 100000 comrades in arms were left on the red land forever.

Puda was lucky not to die on the battlefield, but his body was almost full of scars. In addition to relying on his miraculous will to survive, he survived more because he had a good partner, but I don't know whether the goddess of fate played a funny joke, or because his partner went to bed without late prayer that night, In short, his partner who saved his life many times finally died the night before he left the wilderness - killed by a crazy land dragon.

When he was dying, he told Puda that he wanted to see the red maple leaves in full bloom in his hometown. So when the army returned, Puda didn't stay in the army, but came to today's Hongye town. He didn't just want to see the last red maple leaf his partner wanted to see, but also to be filial for him.

So, at the age of 26, Puda had two more parents.

After that, he spent five years in this small town, and then the war of the Principality of Ryan invading the kingdom of dabion broke out.

In order to protect the town he valued in his heart, Puda joined the army again. In the three years of war, by virtue of his rich experience and command ability, he was transferred to seven troops. He was promoted from a small squadron to Deputy captain of the third army of the Red Cross cavalry regiment. He really entered the eyes of commander Wang Guojun.

But by this time, the war was over.

Then Puda made a choice that surprised the Royal Army: when he was in his prime, he chose to retire! Originally, according to the intention of the military headquarters, he should be well retained, but at this time, the Principality of Ryan gave up a large area of occupied territory and returned all to the kingdom of dabion, so the military headquarters of the kingdom of dabion began to do this. As a result, when they finished their work and turned back, Puda had completed the delivery procedures, left the Red Cross cavalry regiment and returned to Hongye town.

Then came the news that pandaling had been completely abandoned.

At this time, the town fell into a panic. After a series of heated discussions, the town decided to hire a mercenary corps to guard the town. Only Puda strongly opposed it and asked for the establishment of a civilian corps, but in the end, the town chose to hire a mercenary corps, but also allowed Puda to establish a civilian corps, which is a compromise solution.

The establishment of the militia is very smooth, and Puda is indeed very diligent.

He never thought he was the head of the people's corps. He thought there were still some people in the town who were suitable to be instructors. For example, the only blacksmith in the town can teach these young men how to use their tools to repair weapons; For example, the hunters in the town can teach the young men how to find edible food in the wild, and even teach them how to use bows and arrows; There are also the peddlers in the town - of course, these are not fixed instructors, but according to their experience, they can also enrich the experience and knowledge of these young men.

In Puda's eyes, everyone in Hongye town can become the instructor of these young boys, and he is only one of them.

Therefore, in the eyes of those old people in Hongye Town, they prefer to call this town Puda Town, because they are really proud and happy that Puda can become a member of Hongye town.

But all this changed after the snake of habinder came.

On the first day, they put forward the conditions for building additional walls. But Puda knows the power of the tribes in the wilderness. In his opinion, unless it is a 20 meter high wall or a 40 meter high fortress wall, it will not have much effect on the tribes in the wilderness. How can a small town build such a large wall in a short time? All this, in his view, was just one side of the mercenary Corps trying to blackmail more pay.

So this became the first conflict between the snake of habinder and the people's army.

After that, it seemed that the snake of habinder decided to change the name of the town to Hongye town for revenge or other reasons, which was strongly opposed by the older generation and the people's army. However, Puda himself had no opinion or even some support. Because he still remembers that his partner's last wish was to see the red maple leaves in the town.

However, the snake of habinder took Puda's own consent as a sign of softness, and in a series of subsequent events, it pushed forward an inch, and even began to charge the so-called town entry fee, scaring away the peddlers who did not dare to come because Hongye town had become an ownerless place. As a result, the contradiction between the snake of habinder and the people's corps of Hongye town has expanded to an irreconcilable extent.

Puda, therefore, once had a hand with the head of habinder's snake, but unfortunately, he can only drag the other party, but it is completely impossible to defeat the other party, because Puda has too many secret injuries. These hidden injuries lead to Puda's current strength, only barely reaching the upper bronze. Although his endurance value exceeds 40 points and reaches the silver level, he can't show his fighting spirit like a real silver master.

But the snake of habinder has two silver level masters.

In such a situation, Puda can only restrain the people's army as much as possible so that they will not have any conflict with the habinder snake. Although the militia is very dissatisfied, because of Puda's reputation, all these young boys choose patience, which is another advantage of Hongye Town People's Corps - they obey commands and orders like a real army.

As a result, the snake of habinder and the militia of Hongye town began to maintain some superficial harmony.

Until a few days ago, the official document from tonis fortress was delivered, this apparent harmony finally ended, and the two sides completely tore their faces. Only because there are two silver level masters in the snake of habinder, the militia did not act rashly, because once the two sides really fight together, the Hongye Town People's Corps will suffer heavy losses, and even casualties.

Therefore, Puda is waiting. He wants to wait for the Lord to appear and see what the other party's attitude is and whether it is worth entrusting Hongye town to him.

If it is really worth it, Puda will not hesitate to choose to take refuge in the new Lord.

Less troops? This is not a problem at all!

According to Puda's extremely limited knowledge, the number of private soldiers in the beginning of each Lord is not very large, or even very rare. Unless it is a hereditary aristocratic Lord, it is possible to inherit the private soldiers left by her ancestors - he heard that the female martial god of the Principality of Ryan had only 300 private soldiers at the beginning. She was in the four years when she was a pioneering knight, Before gradually forming an army of 30000 people.

Therefore, the military strength of a new Lord is scarce, which is naturally not a problem. There are nearly 1000 militia on standby in Hongye town.

To really judge the strength of a new Lord, we must judge from the number and quality of his followers.

Although the female martial god of the Principality of lane had only 300 private soldiers, she had two experts whose strength came from the lower silver. Although one of them died in the four-year campaign, two silver level masters joined later. Now the four people, including the female martial god, are close to the next gold. This time, the new Lord of Hongye town is said to be a pioneering Knight under the female martial god, so the strength can naturally be expected.

As long as the Lord has enough strength to solve the two leaders of habinder's snake, Puda believes that relying on the militia in Hongye town can still drive away the annoying snake. As long as we can drive away the poisonous snake and the new Lord doesn't be so harsh on Hongye Town, what does it matter to take refuge and submit to the new Lord? For Puda, whether the kingdom of dabion or the Principality of lane, only the Lord who can really protect them is a lord worth following.

But what Puda didn't expect was that the situation in Hongye town would change so sharply.

A distinguished guest who seemed to be a big tribe in the wild came to visit their small town, and then forced the heavy hammer away in a few words. In this way, Puda was sure to drive away the annoying poisonous snake without even requiring the Lord to inspect the territory.

However, before driving away the poisonous snake, Puda felt it was necessary to discuss with the mayor about the future standing of Hongye town. At least, they must finalize the matter before the new Lord comes, and then they can give the new Lord an accurate answer.

"Uncle, I'm back!" With this excitement and thought, Puda pushed open the door of the mayor, the old father of his former partner, "I have good news..."

The middle-aged man, who was considered young by the town, couldn't say the second half of his words. He was looking at the two people in the hall with a surprised face - the big distinguished guest whom he told the people's army to find and protect anyway（ To be continued.
