Thor: Knight (Minion Edition)

In fact, I have never really liked horseback riding

In fact, I am reluctant to return it... I know that after I return it, I will no longer have anything of Ah Hua's...

The Duke is a good person, without any airs. Although he dresses very elegantly, I always feel that he does not resemble a noble; rather, he seems more like an ordinary person like me. I do not know why I think this way.

Traveling for two days straight, I did not find it difficult. I am accustomed to it; my body is a bit tired, but I can still manage. However, there is something strange about that village. I understand why: the Duke ordered us to the northern entrance of the village, and along the way, every household we passed quickly shut their doors and windows upon seeing us

Lord Qige is a good person, but he is too strict. One of my companions was punished with twenty military sticks simply because he fell off his horse after dozing off while riding.

In fact, I am not nervous; I am just wondering if Ahua has come to see me. I have been looking through the crowd for a long time, but I have not seen her face.

I hope that when I save enough money and retire from service in the future, I will be able to bring Ahua back and marry her

Lord Qige has assigned me to serve as a personal guard for Duke. A total of 200 brothers from the entire army have been summoned. They are all quite formidable; among them, there is one I know whose archery skills surpass mine. When I shoot, I can hit the bullseye with 7 out of 10 arrows, while he can hit it every time.

I myself have also forgotten how I returned to the barracks that day. Later, I discovered that the seven gold coins in my pocket were gone, and it took me a long time to remember that I had casually thrown them to a few beggars.

Although the training in the Central Cavalry Corps is very tough, I am not afraid; I will earn enough money to marry Ahua

I took out that jade flower of Ahua's and held it in my hand, which brought me a moment of slight reassurance

The barracks grant a day off each month, allowing us to go out and explore. I never go drinking with the other brothers; as soon as I leave the barracks, I head straight to see Ahua. Civilians in the Empire are not allowed to carry weapons, but I can, as I am a soldier of the Central Cavalry Corps. Every time I return home in my military uniform, with a sword at my waist, I feel quite proud, and people around me are always watching. Ahua is also very happy, but she never seems willing to say more than a word to me; whenever she speaks, she blushes, her face turning as red as a *picture* before she runs back home. Every time I return home in my military uniform, with a sword at my waist, I feel quite proud, and people around me are always watching. Ahua is also very happy, but she never seems willing to say more than a word to me; whenever she speaks, she blushes, her face turning as red as a *picture* before she runs back home.

The newly arrived Duke is a young man, seemingly a bit younger than I am. He appears quite impressive, with golden hair and blue eyes

In fact, I know that every time she runs back home, she hides behind the door to secretly watch me

We know he is the Duke of Tulip, and everyone looks at him with respect. In the imperial army, who does not know the three characters of "tulip"

The group from the Kingdom of Dayue is quite cunning, stealthily emerging from the woods. Although I saw them, their archery skills are also impressive

I just shouted, and then I felt a sharp pain in my neck. Following that, it seemed as if all the air in my chest had escaped, and I couldn't even shout anymore

When my father was still alive, he said that I should save money so that I could marry a wife in the future

He later became our captain

That night, I happily tumbled a few times on my bed at home, and it didn't matter that I broke the bed. I knew that Ahua would be my wife from now on

However, that day I stood at the intersection, watching as Ah Hua was taken away by a horse. She saw me too, but this time her face was not flushed; instead, it was very pale.

The next day during practice, I only used one sword and a diagram to bring down a fellow practitioner. He never dared to practice with me again. That day, they said I had my eyes wide open, filled with blood vessels, as if I were about to devour someone

The one who took her away was the owner of the fabric shop on the street behind. I heard them say that Ahua was taken home by him to be his concubine

Ah Hua lives next door to me and is quite delicate in appearance. When we were young, she always liked to call me "little brother" because I am one year younger than her. One day, I told her that I did not want to be her little brother; I wanted to be her man. Ah Hua's face turned red. On the day I enlisted in the army, Ah Hua gave me a small jade flower. I knew that this was something her father had said would be used as her dowry in the future

I do not care what they think; I only secretly take out that jade flower and touch it while lying in bed at night. I do not know whether I should return this item to Ah Hua

However, we also know that his arrival signifies that we must go to the battlefield to fight

On the day we left the city, all the people from the capital surged over to see us. The noise was so loud that it nearly deafened our ears

Ah Hua, in my next life, I do not want to be your brother; I want to be your man

The captain ordered me to climb the tree and keep watch with the bow, as my archery skills are the best after his. With good archery skills, my eyesight is naturally sharp; although the sky has darkened, I can still see farther than others.

Aren't they all people of the empire? Why do they fear us upon seeing us

I often hear people say that those skilled in archery will ultimately die by an arrow. I did not expect this saying to be quite accurate

The day after I became an officer, I immediately took home seven gold coins, intending to give the money to Ahua and asking her to wait for me

At the beginning, they all laughed at me, saying that my strength was of no use. However, during the archery practice that day, I shot ten arrows, seven of which hit the bullseye. From that moment on, they no longer laughed at me. Lord Zig was in a good mood that day and ordered my promotion to squad leader, placing the people in our tent and those in the adjacent tent under my command

In fact, I almost fell asleep that day as well, after all, we had been driving at full speed for six consecutive hours, and everyone was exhausted

Perhaps I am fortunate, as I have been selected for the "Whip of Thor," the most elite unit of the Empire. The annual military salary is five gold coins, which is significantly higher than that of a blacksmith. Moreover, our commander, Lord Zig, never withholds our pay. I know that the soldiers in other battalions can only receive three gold coins each year

I have little interest in becoming an officer, but after becoming one, my annual military salary increased from 5 gold coins to 7 gold coins, which made me very happy

Lord Qige stated that in the northwest region, there exists a formidable enemy. They have grown up on horseback since childhood, and each of them can eat and sleep while on horseback. His strict training of us now is to ensure that we have a greater chance of survival on the battlefield in the future

My archery skills are exceptional, and none of my companions in the same tent can compare to me. I have been forging iron with my father since childhood, which has given me strong arms. I can effortlessly draw the iron bow of our Central Cavalry Corps. In one breath, I can shoot seventeen or eighteen arrows

Since childhood, I have not liked horseback riding; my dream was to become a blacksmith, as my father was a blacksmith. Unfortunately, he passed away. Therefore, I became a soldier

I sit at the top, my eyes fixed ahead, and there is always a strange feeling in my heart. I do not know why, but tonight I am constantly on edge, always sensing that something is about to happen

I sat upright on the horse, my body straight, my hands covered in sweat. The Duke was right beside me, and he patted me, telling me not to be nervous
