Chapter 420: Recruits of the Knights of Michael (Part 2)

The doctor moved his gaze, glanced up and down at Darlene, and then raised his eyebrows.

"Little girl, you have a good physique."

As the doctor spoke, he raised his hand and pinched the muscles on Darlene's body.

"Are you from the countryside? Or are you from a hunter?"

"I'm from a rural area."

Darlene replied obediently.

"I have helped my family with housework and farm work since I was a child, so I have some confidence in my physical fitness."

"That's right, good! The army needs soldiers like you the most."

The doctor took Darlene's personal information form, made notes on it, and handed it back to Darlene.

"Okay, your height is also qualified. Go and line up at the weight check place."

"Ok, thank you."

Darlene, who got her personal information form back, followed the doctor's instructions and came to the place where the weight was checked.

There was a long line of people waiting for the weight check.

--What it is? Seesaw?

After standing at the back of the queue, Darlene looked curiously at the giant seesaw-like thing at the front of the queue.

At one end of this giant seesaw is a large wooden barrel half as tall as a man.

"What the hell is this..."

Darlene, who was really curious about this thing, couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.

Just as Darlene uttered this murmur, a pleasant female voice suddenly came from behind Darlene:

"That's a weight-checking device."

After hearing the sudden voice coming from behind her, Darlene immediately turned her head and looked behind her.

Standing behind Darlene was a beautiful woman with short orange hair and beautiful orange eyes.

He is the same height as Darlene, about 1.6 meters, and seems to be about the same age as Darlene.

"Um...this large seesaw is a weight-checking device?"

"A large seesaw? Hmm... It's not wrong to say it's a seesaw, but it's more accurate to say it's a large scale."

After saying that, the girl with short orange hair raised her hand and pointed at the end of the large scale where a wooden barrel half a person's height was fixed.

"Did you see that barrel? This barrel contains a lot of soil and wood. The weight of this barrel is the minimum weight allowed to join the army stipulated by our empire. We need to stand on the other end of this large scale, as long as we can Let this large scale be flattened, or tilted towards your side, to prove that you are as heavy as this barrel or heavier than it, and then you will be considered qualified for the weight category."

Just as the orange-haired girl finished explaining to Darlene, it was the girl standing at the front of the queue who had her turn to go up and check her weight.

As the orange-haired girl tells it, the doctor in charge of weight asked the girl to stand on the other side of the large scale.

After the girl stood on the other end of the large scale, the large scale immediately tilted towards the end where the girl was.

After seeing the large scale tilting towards the end where the girl was, the doctor said "passed" to the girl in a calm tone, and then asked the girl to go to the next examination item.

"I see...this is how the weight is checked..."

Darlene's face showed a look of sudden realization.

"You know a lot, you are so amazing."

Darlene moved her gaze back from the large scale and back to the orange-haired girl, saying this in an admiring tone.

"This is nothing, no need to praise me."

After saying that, the orange-haired girl stretched out her hand towards Darlene:

"Hello, I'm Helen Thomas. Let's make friends. Maybe the two of us will be comrades in arms in the future."

“Hello Helen, I’m Darlene Carter, nice to meet you.

"

As Darlene spoke, she also raised her hand and held it tightly with Helen's.

After the two let go of each other's hands, Darlene asked Helen:

"Helen, look at you, are you from the city?"

Helen was fair and fair, exuding a faint intellectual aura, and she didn't look like she was from a farmer's family at all. It's more like coming from a relatively good family.

"Well, yes. I was born and grew up in this city of Brito. My father is a businessman in Brito City. I come from a merchant family."

"Helen, you come from a merchant family. I think your family background must be very good, right? After all, Helen, you seem to have received a certain level of education."

"My family background is not bad." Helen smiled freely, "I do have a little education. After all, my father has always regarded and trained me as the next heir of his business group. In order to make me I can inherit his business group well. My father has allowed me to receive various educations since I was a child and let me learn various things."

"Huh? Helen, your father hopes that you can inherit his business group in the future, why does he still ask you to sign up to join the army?"

"Of course he won't agree to my joining the army."

Helen stuck out her tongue.

"I sneaked out secretly without telling him. I don't want to inherit his business group. I have decided that I will die if I can't join the army."

"Huh? Helen, do you really want to join the empire's army?"

"Yeah, that's right. After all, my dream is to become a knight."

"R-Knight?"

"Well, what? Darlene, don't you know what our knights of the Britannia Empire are?"

"I occasionally heard the term 'knights' from the bards passing by our village. I know they are a group of powerful people, but I don't know what they do specifically."

"Pfft..." Helen chuckled, "Darlene, you are really interesting. The people who came to join the army of the Britannia Empire don't even know what a knight is."

"After all, I was born in a rural area." Darlene smiled helplessly, "I don't have much culture or knowledge."

"But it doesn't matter if Darlene doesn't know what a knight is. I'll explain it to you briefly now."

"Yeah! Please."

"The Knights are the military attache group of our Britannia Empire."

"Attache...group?" Darlene muttered this word that she had never heard before.

"To put it simply, they are our commanders who are responsible for formulating operational plans and directing troops to fight."

"Even the weakest knight has the ability to command thousands of men in battle."

"Thousands of people?!"

Darlene, who had rarely left the village in her life, could not imagine how many thousands of people there were, nor could she imagine what it was like to be able to command thousands of people.

In the village, Darlene saw with her own eyes that the old village chief was exhausted when he ordered more than ten people to clean the roads in the village.

——Commanding thousands of people... I can't imagine what the concept is...

"This is just the weakest knight." At this time, Helen continued to add, "It is said that the strongest knights in our empire are each ruthless men who can command hundreds of thousands of people to fight. "

"Ten, tens of thousands?!"

Darlene was once again shocked by the knight's power.

"If you and I successfully enter the Michael Knights, then our two highest bosses will be the current leader of the Michael Knights - Su Cheng, and Mr. Su Cheng is a man who can command tens of thousands of people. You are a ruthless man who fights against others."

"Su Cheng?"

This is the second time Darlene has heard the name "Su Cheng" today.

——Your Excellency Su Cheng is so amazing...

Darlene, who had never met Su Cheng and didn't know who Su Cheng was until today, slowly began to admire Su Cheng in her heart.

"It's so amazing...this Su Cheng..." Darlene murmured.

"Super strong, he is my idol!" Helen said in a proud tone, "My goal is to become a reliable and powerful knight like Mr. Su Cheng!"

"I kind of want to meet Mr. Su Cheng..." Darlene looked longingly, "I really want to see what such a hero looks like."

"It is unlikely that we, small characters, will meet Mr. Su Cheng." Helen smiled helplessly, "When the two of us climb to the top, we should have the opportunity to meet Su Cheng. "
