Chapter 161 (1/2)

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.
