The place Noid was directed to be the place of a middle-aged soldier with dark skin. Seeing Noid coming, the man raised his hand, and the man understood and held out a wooden card.
The elderly soldier modified over and pointed to a large tent.
"Go out there and wait for orders."
Noid obediently followed, there were quite a few people inside the tent at this time. All of them were refugees, silent and not speaking.
Noid also didn't want to talk to anyone, determined to sit alone in a corner.
He realized gradually what he was about to get.
Recruiting soldiers is not only for fighting, but also to serve the generals.
If he's lucky, Noid probably won't have to go to war.
After waiting for a while, the big-bellied soldier entered the tent. He pointed at a few people, including Noid, signaling them to follow.
"I won't take your free money, choose clothes first."
As he spoke, the big-bellied soldier led them to another tent. Inside were many uniforms for soldiers, but they were all old and worn.
Noid touched it, although it was old, the quality wasn't too bad, at least it was better than the ragged cloth he was covering himself with.
Noid saw many of the suits were punctured and patched, guessing that the later arrivals would be forced to wear these.
"Okay, I'll just say I spent money on a complete outfit."
Noid thought to himself, then picked out an outfit that suited his height, and of course, a fully intact outfit.
Noid did not change immediately but just held the clothes in his hand, because he still had money on him.
After seeing they chose, the big-bellied soldier pointed to another place.
Their task now was to go and wash themselves clean, at least to wash away the dirty images of refugees. After that, they will be assigned to other military camps.
This place is just a recruiting site.
As for what they are assigned to do in the military camp, it is not up to them to control. This depends on luck.
The bathing area wasn't really a bathroom or anything like that, but just a few large tubs lined up next to each other.
Luckily the water in the tub was hot, so I didn't freeze to death while bathing.
They were also not allowed to jump straight into the tub to bathe, but could only use small tools to scoop water out of the tub and pour it over their bodies.
As the first group of people, Noid was no different from enjoying the most water.
Although this hot water seems like a lot, there are also quite a few refugees. Afraid that there will be many people who do not enjoy this privilege.
Taking advantage of the quiet weather, Noid stripped off all the old, tattered clothes on his body and began pouring hot water over himself.
The others followed suit and began to clean and scrub their bodies.
The water that flowed down from them had turned from clean water to muddy water, proving how filthy they were.
But Noid didn't care.
He only knew that being able to take a hot bath was also a blessing.
After bathing and changing into new clothes, Noid picked out a relatively intact set of clothes from before and threw away the rest. Although these clothes were dirty and smelly, as long as he found a chance to wash them, they could be reused, there was no need to waste money buying new clothes.
Seeing that they had bathed and changed into neat clothes, the big-bellied soldier began to lead another batch of recruits to choose their clothes.
Before leaving, he said.
"I've collected your money, don't tell others that I didn't take care of you. Go and rest. What kind of work you can do in the military camp depends on your fate, I can't control it. "
Noid bowed silently, as a thank you.
The little bit of previous ill will also dissolve with the wind.
The fat-bellied soldier, although greedy, still performed his duty to the fullest.
Kain reversed back, the wind had picked up, causing a group of rookies who were preparing to bathe to shiver from the cold.
Lucky.
…
As per the route, Noid was sent to a military camp. Today seemed to be his lucky day, as he was chosen to be a horse herder.
Noid was chosen by a person in charge named Oliver, because he looked taller and stronger than the others.
The other recruits looked at Noid with admiration, because herding horses was a good job, although it wasn't leisurely, but one could sneak food.
Noid was led to the stables by Oliver. As soon as he clicked, the stench of horse manure mixed with the smell of hay hit Noid's nose. Fortunately, he was used to the smell, so he didn't show any unusual expression.
Seeing this, Oliver couldn't help but felt a little pleased. The most important thing when working as a horse herder is not to be afraid of the stench. If one couldn't even stand the stench, then it was best not to work as a horse herder.
Noid looked around the stables, where ten horses were being raised. All of them were warhorses, tall, brave and very strong, obviously they were very well taken care of.
Seeing Oliver appear, the horses neighed happily. Oliver stroked their manes, then touched at Noid.
"Come here and try some horse use."
Noid followed suit, took out a shovel and a cart. He started shoveling the manure.
The working process is also very simple. Noid will use a shovel to scoop up the horse manure and pour it onto the cart. After filling the cart, he will push the cart outside to dump it. Just repeat.
Noid started working, but when he did, he found it difficult.
Aside from the stench, a shovel filled with horse manure wasn't light either. Even if Noid used all his strength, it would take a lot of effort to finish scooping and dumping it once, to the point where his limbs were weak and trembling.
Although he had some food in his stomach these past few days, that alone still couldn't make up for his weak constitution.
