C3 Chapter 3

When the bathroom farce was over, the recruit returned obediently to the dormitory.

The commander of the First Battalion of Spears, Charlie Wright, said to the deputy commander, 'I really don't know what these kids are thinking. They're about to lose their lives, yet they still care about the bathroom problem.'

The deputy commander, Fas Ward, replied with a smile, 'I'm more interested in that farmer named Lake.'

For the past few days, everything about Lake had been under the control of the command post.

In the past few years, no one had trained on the first day they entered the military camp. Even veterans who had made mistakes and been released did not train like this. In addition to Lake's running speed, it was hard to believe that he did not have the potential to be inspired by combat power. That was why he paid so much attention to Lake's situation.

Just as the command group was discussing Lake, Luna and a few other girls who had returned to the team dormitory came to Rhine's side and asked, "Why aren't you angry at all?

As a veteran, Rhine smiled and pointed to the bathroom and said, "The bathroom has a door. The bathroom can set a time to separate. What's there to be angry about?

The female team members were stunned when they heard that.

The male team members were also stunned. These children who were curious about the opposite sex were having dirty thoughts in their hearts. However, because of Rhine's words, they could only lie on the bed and think disappointedly, 'What a pity. I thought we could wash together!'

Lake, who did not have these thoughts, picked up his clothes and said, "I'm the team leader. I should go wash first. No problem, right?

Rhine, who was curious about Lake's physical strength, saw that he was about to enter the bathroom. Her curiosity rose. She wanted to know if his body had undergone any special transformation. When he was about to enter the bathroom, she grabbed him and said, "Of course there's no problem. But I'm the vice-captain. How about I help you wipe your back and develop some feelings for you?

After she finished speaking, she picked up the toilet and put her arm around Lake's shoulder. She pulled him into the bathroom and let the team members look at them with wide eyes. The men were shouting in their hearts, but the women blushed.

Lake, who had been in a closed environment for a long time, felt embarrassed. There was only the demon beast Da Niu by his side. He was not as mature as the other boys. He did not have any desire for women. He turned around and looked at Rhine from head to toe. Then, he looked at Rhine's head and said, "Elder sister, your age is a little too big for me. I will wash it myself.

The team's dormitory was in an absolute silence. A faint killing intent slowly formed in the dormitory. The team members looked at Lake fiercely. They all had a strong killing intent in their hearts. How can I reject a woman taking the initiative? This is too much. I want to report to the empire to let the captain be captured and thrown into a pig cage.

Due to the law protecting the Red Magic Knights in Red Flame Empire, the entire empire was slowly leaning towards the society of women. Women became more and more generous and more proactive. It was a crime to cause men to reject a girl's request. It was a crime more serious than murder and arson. That was why the team members looked at Lake with killing intent and did not differentiate between men and women.

Feeling waves of killing intent, Rhine wrapped her arms around Lake's shoulders, pulled his head to her chest, and grabbed a dark red apple with her other hand. "Have you eaten an apple?

Finally freed his head from the surging waves of his chest, Lake said, "What does it matter if I haven't eaten it?

As Lake was a farmer's child, and one who was unfavoured, his allowance had been given to his sister-in-law by his mother. He had never eaten fruit since he was young. This was the first time he had seen an apple, so how could he have eaten it?

Rhine smiled and took a bite of the apple. She said, "If you have never eaten an apple before, would you choose to eat the apple on the tree for the first time? Or a red one?

Lake, who was lured into the trap, said in a daze, "Of course I will choose the red one to eat.

Rhine was waiting for him to say this. She grabbed Lake and dragged him into the bathroom. That's right. This is senior officer's time. No one else is allowed to come in.

After a moment, a sound came from the bathroom: 'Hey!' Why is your whole body sticking up to me when you're wiping your back?

Rhine said, "Your body is too dirty. Only this way can you wash it clean, eh! You've grown up. Come, let big sister take good care of you.

The children outside the bathroom looked at each other with red faces. Their thoughts drifted to unknown places.

Wuwuwu...

The next day, a ray of light appeared in the sky. While the recruits were still sleeping, a loud gathering horn sounded. The commander and instructor rushed into the dormitory and shouted, "Attention! Gather in three minutes, or run naked around the camp ten times.

When the new recruits who were still in a daze heard the word 'naked running', they immediately jumped up from their beds and completely forgot that this was a mixed male and female dormitory. They immediately changed into military uniforms. "Hurry, or you will run naked.

At this time, only Lake and Rhine got up easily. After making the bed, they went into the bathroom to wash their faces and brush their teeth before walking out of the dormitory to gather.

Because Lake's original clothes were not as comfortable as a military uniform, that was why he would wear a military uniform to sleep. Rhine, this veteran, knew that she would definitely be threatened in the morning, which was why she was able to deal with him so easily.

Every day, they would wake up early to exercise, eat, train, and train again. In the morning, they would have physical strength, shoot in the afternoon, and double training at night. It was not until three months later that they were welcomed with a vacation. They were allowed to rest for two days and enter the city to say goodbye to their lives.

As they belonged to the First Battalion of Spears, they were the first troop to enter the battlefield according to their numbers. After these three months of training, they would immediately be sent to the battlefield to join the battle. Only then would they be paid during the end of their training. They would be allowed to enter the city on a two-day holiday to spend money, so that these salaries would flow into the national treasury again.

Just when the team members thought that they needed to stay behind to train, Rhine packed her luggage and said, "You guys tidy up. After receiving the salary, I will bring you guys into the city to have a good time.

"You can take a vacation now. That's great.

Thus, as the vice-captain's eldest sister, Rhine brought this group of 16 year old children into the capital, Kasha, to broaden her horizons.

When they walked for a few hours and entered the big city of Casa, Rhine said, "First find a place to stay, then bring you guys home to send money.

They were all filial children. When they received the salary, the first thing they thought of was to send the money back home, which was why Rhine arranged it like this.

As the captain, Lake smiled and said, "Rhine is very familiar with this place. She can decide.

When Rhine brought them into the familiar hotel, the boss saw her and immediately said, "Ah! The beautiful Rhine was sent to the cannon fodder camp again. This is the third time, right?

The moment they saw each other, they were vented. Rhine angrily roared, Damn it, as soon as we meet, I'll flip my bottom! This time, I want three rooms. I'll only give two rooms for the fee.

The boss looked at Rhine with a dark expression and said, "You're too much. It's just a joke. Do you need to do this?

Rhine, who was very familiar with the boss, did not care about his complaints. She turned around and said, "Jack, Latin, Chick One Room. Luna, Mill, Cindy, and Ally One Room.

She grabbed Lake and said, "Don't run. The captain needs to stay with the vice-captain.

The boss who led them to the room smiled and said, "Oh. Your taste has changed. Have you started to eat tender grass?

For a beauty, a person without confidence and willpower could not refuse her request. Moreover, Lake was only sixteen years old and had a strong willpower. It was true that he had a strong willpower, but due to the lack of knowledge, he lacked a bit of self. On the surface, he resisted, but in his heart, he was very happy to be caught in the room.

"Come, big sister will help you change your clothes. Rhine said.

The boss, whose face was full of black lines, could only bring the other members to their rooms to rest.

The members thought that it would take a few hours. When they prepared to rest first, Rhine already brought Lake out of the room and said, "I'll bring you guys to send money. There will be too many people later.

"Lake, I'm here.

When Lake and the others arrived at the bank opened by the empire, they suddenly heard a girl's voice.

When the team members turned around, Lake had already walked over. "Finks, why are you here?

Finks belonged to the mage army. Unlike the long spear camp, Lake felt strange and asked her why she was here.

Seeing Lake, Finks was very happy and said, "We have two days to rest, and then we are going to the Clark fortress in the east. What about you guys?

The Clark Fortress was built at the mountain pass on the east side of the empire. It was used to defend a few large countries on the other side of the mountain range.

Because the east side was blocked by a mountain full of terrifying magic beasts, it was the only way for the countries on the east side to enter the continent of Europe. That was why it became a place for the soldiers who were constantly fighting for it. Fortunately, when the empire was established, the Red Flame Empire had built a stronghold that blocked the way, which allowed it to remain standing for hundreds of years.

Hearing Finks's words, Lake turned his head and asked, "Does anyone know where our destination is?

Rhine said, "We are just cannon fodder. How can we be told about this?

Because the eastern countries would gather their forces every few decades and try to break through the fortress, the empire would start to recruit soldiers and send them to the Clark fortress to help defend.

Luna, who was standing at the back, said happily, "This way, we might not encounter a war.

However, Finks said, "The Empire received news that the other party is conscripting and thus conscripted ahead of time.

Hearing this, Luna lowered her head in disappointment.

Finks pulled Lake and said, "The army is on holiday now. We can't find a place to stay. What about you?

Lake smiled and pointed at Rhine and said, "She knows the boss of the hotel. Can't you guys find a place to stay?

In an instant, there were a few more girls beside Finks. They opened their eyes wide and looked at Rhine. At the same time, they said at the same time, "Sister, can you help us?

Rhine saw a group of little girls looking at her with teary eyes. She said weakly, "There is no room in the hotel. You guys can sleep with me tonight!

The girls in the Magic Apprentice long robe said happily after Rhine's heart softened and she agreed, "Great, I'll treat you guys to dinner tonight.

These girls were all new recruits of the mage army. Their salaries were twice as high as other armies', so they generously offered to treat them.

Hearing this, Rhine smiled and said, "We need to send the money home first, then go back to the hotel for dinner!

After Lake's team sent the money back, they brought Finks and the others back to the hotel.

The boss said with an ugly expression, "Rhine, don't bring people here anymore. Didn't I say it was already full?

Rhine smiled and said, "Don't worry. My room is enough for them to squeeze in.

The boss, whose face was originally dark, then let out a sigh of relief. "That's good. I thought they were going to torture my old bones again.

Rhine did not care about the boss at all. She directly brought them into the restaurant and said, "Order the dishes. After we finish eating, we will go and buy weapons.

Hearing that they wanted to buy weapons, Lake asked curiously, "The army does not know how to distribute weapons. Why do they need to buy it themselves?

Rhine explained with a smile, "We are commonly known as cannon fodder spearmans. Do you think that we are the Magic Legion? Those who can survive in the past years, buy weapons and armor by themselves.

It turned out that for the cannon fodder camp, apart from the good food, their weapons and equipment were all rotten to the point of not being able to survive. After going to the battlefield, it was considered good luck to be able to pierce through the enemy. Even if they were to stab through, they could not be used anymore. If they wanted to protect themselves, they needed to kill an enemy and quickly search for weapons that did not attack the enemy.

Otherwise, after killing, they could only become live targets without weapons and wait for the enemy to attack.

Lake, who felt speechless, said sadly, "Doesn't that mean that people without weapons have a high chance of dying in battle? Why doesn't the country give out better ones?

Rhine picked up the food and said, "You are a group of new recruits who have never killed anyone. If you give them a good weapon, they will also die.

The team members looked at her eating without a care and thought in their hearts, 'Kill people!' What kind of feeling is this?

Lake's team was special. After the registrar knew that Lake had the Stan surname, in order to take special care of him, he arranged some people who had killed animals at home into his team. In addition, Rhine, who often beat up officers and was sent to the Spear Battalion as a swordsman, made his team a little more mentally stronger than the other teams.

That was why the whole team thought differently from the others. When they heard about killing people, what they thought was not the horror of killing a living person, but what did it feel like to kill someone? What's the difference between killing and killing animals?

When the atmosphere was cold, Finks suddenly said, "Lake, don't worry. I only sent half of the money home. I'll buy you the rest of the equipment.

The surrounding Magic Apprentices all felt strange. Why did Finks give up on her needs and give the money to Lake?

Lake said, "Don't worry. I didn't send the money back. Let's go and take a look later.

The boss could not help but walk over and ask, "Right. 'Why aren't you the captain this time?'

Every time Rhine was released, she would become the captain and lead the team to survive the war. She did not expect that she was only the vice-captain this time. That was why the boss asked.

Rhine did not mind and casually pointed at Lake and said, "This guy has a surname.

When others felt strange, Rhine continued, "If it was not for him, I would not have entered this team.

Although Rhine was released because she made a mistake, she was an old soldier who was about to have combat power. When she entered the Longgun Camp, she would basically be placed as the captain. The team would also be placed at the edge of the area where there were fewer enemies.

This time, Rhine was transferred into the team that already had a captain. It made her understand, 'Damn Carl, he actually wanted me to come and take care of the child. This time, the odds are very slim.'

Because every time she was sent to the Spear Battalion, her team was almost always able to survive. That was why she was thrown in to protect Lake.

The main reason why she thought she was in danger was because of Lake. Since he had the surname Shi Da, he was assigned to the army known as the Cannon Battalion. According to the principle that the empire did not raise trash, he would be placed in the places where the enemy attacked the most concentrated, so that he would die in battle to avoid wasting the country's food.

Lake, who was shot again, said angrily, "This is not what I want. Can you stop talking about it?

After a moment of silence, the boss said, "In that case, as long as you live through a battle, it will be easy.

These words clearly indicated that after a battle, the team would be completely wiped out. Only Rhine, the veteran, survived and would be able to relax in the future. Hence, on the dining table, the eyes of each and every member of the team turned red. Tears welled up in their eyes as they looked at Rhine, waiting for her to explain.

Seeing that the situation was serious, Rhine rolled her eyes at the boss and said confidently, "Don't worry. As long as you follow me closely on the battlefield, you will be able to survive.

After she said this, the scene was finally under control. Lake looked at Rhine worriedly and did not say anything.

Because these words made him think that this team would be sent to the most dangerous place because of him. They had the highest death rate. He could not bear to drag others into the water.

Rhine misunderstood Lake's thoughts and said, "What are you worried about? With your speed, you can definitely escape from being surrounded. You don't need me to take care of you.

Since his words were already so plain, Lake could only continue to eat his food.

Finks at the side reached out to hold him and said, "Don't worry, I will protect Lake in the future.

Lake, who was smiling bitterly, did not know that Rhine's original plan was to survive a battle and let him inherit the position of captain after he died. She would let the higher-ups move her team to the edge. As long as she could survive five battles, she, a veteran who knew martial arts, could be transferred to other safer troops.

However, after seeing Lake's speed, she had a curious idea. She wanted to take him to take a bath and strip him naked to check if his body had been remodeled. That was why there was a bathroom farce.

In this farce, she saw something that changed her mind. It was the magical beast's contract pattern on Lake's spine. It was the magic pattern that the magical beast had contracted on its own accord. That was why it changed its mind.

Thinking of this, Rhine could not help but ask, "Right. How did you survive being chased by bison? '

Feeling that Rhine changed the topic very quickly, Lake bit the food in his mouth and asked curiously, "Why do you suddenly ask this?

What he did not know was that in this world, magic beast knights rarely contracted wild magic beasts. Most of them were explorers who entered the magic beast residential area to steal their cubs and sell them to others to contract to become magic beast knights. The magic patterns on those people's bodies were mostly in their hands and were not complete.

Only when magic beasts took the initiative to contract could a complete magic pattern appear on a human's body. Rhine would then probe Lake's words and ask him about the situation of those wild cows.

However, after Lake asked back, he did not get an answer. Finks, who did not have any schemes, immediately said, "Are you talking about Da Niu? That stupid cow is really bad. After Lake saved her life, she actually chased after him. She almost exhausted him to death.

Finks with a big mouth immediately told everything about the big cow. Lake smiled bitterly and said, "That buffalo will come to steal wheat after a while. I will beat it, it will chase after me.

Lake, who knew Rhine could understand, deliberately said that the bison came to steal the wheat and was caught by him. After that, he would chase after him and let her know that she did not want to tell the truth.

Realizing that the big cow he was talking about was actually a magic beast, Rhine knew that he did not want to say it out loud. She smiled and said, "Are you full? I will bring you guys to buy equipment!

When Rhine brought Lake and the others to the street where they were buying equipment, she found that there were many people who wanted to buy weapons. They were all members of the Spear Battalion. Under the lead of the inspector, each team came to this place to buy weapons.

Lake felt strange and asked, "Why don't we have the inspector to lead us?

Other people had the inspector to lead them into the city, but only they came by themselves. Lake felt that it was a bit unfair.

Rhine smiled and said, "Because this team has me, the inspector can't get any benefits.

A simple sentence that said the dark side of the army made Lake and the others rejoice that they were lucky. With Rhine, the local snake, leading them, they would not be taken back.

Everyone followed Rhine into a shabby equipment shop. Rhine generously shouted, "Boss, I brought people to buy things. Hurry up and come out to welcome them.

A slightly lame old man walked out from the back room. When he saw Rhine bring a group of people in, and there were also mages, he angrily shouted, "Damn Rhine, can't you let me go? You even brought the Magic Apprentice, you want to make me suffer?

Rhine said indifferently, "What do you want to lose? We have money to pay.'

The boss angrily shouted, "Pay! How much money can these new recruits have if you dare to say pay? In the end, they won't owe you anything. '

Good weapons and armor cost a lot of gold coins every time. These new recruits could not afford it at all. Moreover, they were the soldiers with the highest death rate. As a result of installments, most of them could only become dull accounts that no one could collect. That was why the boss was so angry.

However, Rhine did not care and said to the team members, "The armor should be flexible and the weapon can only be a spear. It would be best if it is fully metal. Choose it yourself!

After saying that, Rhine walked to the boss's side and said, "Where is my weapon? Take it out!

Rhine often made mistakes and was released. After she survived, she was transferred back. When she made mistakes, she was released again. Only then would the equipment shop owner keep all her weapons well and wait for her to come back to collect them.

However, when the boss turned around, the lucky charm on Lake's chest, which was covering his chest armor, suddenly emitted a faint light and disappeared in a flash.

Then, the glass cabinet at the top of the cabinet broke. A weapon fell from the cabinet and smashed onto Lake's head. Ouch! It hurts! Help!
