Chapter 3: First Meeting with Windsor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Conscription was urgent.

Harun didn’t even have time to eat after giving his instructions to Ye Tian. He returned home, grabbed his bag, and went to gather.

Not long after, the group of people gathered and set off.

At the town entrance, Ye Tian and the others watched Uncle Harun leave.

With this recruitment, everyone in the town’s guards had left except for him.

Ye Tian didn’t know what to do.

At this time, the old mayor approached Ye Tian and said worriedly: “After Harun and the others left, there are only some old, young, sick, and disabled people left in Rock Town.”

“Ye Tian, you’re now the strongest combatant in Rock Town. The town’s safety is in your hands.”

In troubled times, unruly people emerged.

War was the same. When the two countries went to war, a large amount of food and combat power was mobilized.

There was almost no defense in Rock Town now, but some wild beasts still existed nearby.

“Don’t worry.”

“I’ve been with Uncle Harun for a few years and learned a lot.”

Ye Tian patted his chest confidently.

Over the years, his physique had strengthened a lot, coupled with some deliberate training he did.

Nowadays, ordinary adult males were no match for him even if three or four of them attacked together.

However, Ye Tian was still worried.

“It’s just that, Mayor, I’m alone after all. I can’t take care of the entire town.”

“I have an immature idea to communicate with you.”

The old mayor nodded. “Go ahead.”

Ye Tian thought for a moment, organizing his words before speaking.

“Rock Town isn’t small. In the past, when there were people patrolling, just let me know if anything happens.”

“Now that I’m alone and patrolling all the time, it’s impossible for me to have so much energy.”

“Why don’t you get those little guys to move? Of course, they don’t have to do anything when something happens. I’ll settle it.”

After hearing this, the old mayor thought about it seriously for a while before nodding and agreeing.

There was no problem with this suggestion.

In the past, there were always people patrolling Rock Town. Now that the number of people had decreased sharply, it was impossible to take care of many aspects.

The children were young and didn’t have the ability to deal with crises, but they ran fast. It wasn’t a problem to inform them.

The two discussed some of the details, and Ye Tian brought up some of the ideas he had read in his previous life.

After the old mayor carefully memorized it, he turned around to discuss it with someone.

This matter was not something that he could decide with a single word. He needed to have a chat with the children’s parents.

Fortunately, the residents of Rock Town had always been united. They knew that it was for the stability of Rock Town and everyone’s safety.

Moreover, this matter would not pose much of a threat to the children.

Those people all agreed.

Thus, this matter ended just like that.

Ye Tian went to Uncle Harun’s house and saw a beautiful girl with slightly curly golden hair.

Windsor was at the prime of her life. She was beautiful, flawless, and had a curvaceous figure.

No wonder Uncle Harun was worried.

Ye Tian immediately understood when he saw Windsor in person.

“Hello, I’m your father’s friend. My name is Ye Tian. He must have told you about me.”

Ye Tian smiled warmly.

This was the first time he had met Windsor.

Windsor was a little shy and didn’t dare to look him in the eye. She lowered her head and blushed.

“I’ve heard of you. I’ll have to trouble you for the time being.”

Ye Tian was overjoyed to be able to spend time with a beautiful girl. “No trouble at all. By the way, where do I live?”

“Huh? What?”

Windsor paused, then hid behind the door and poked her head out, looking at Ye Tian with a strange expression.

“Um… I live quite far from here.”

“If something happens, I might not be able to make it in time, so I…”

Seeing the wariness on Windsor’s face, Ye Tian immediately understood that his words had caused the girl to misunderstand.

“Ah, I see…”

Windsor stuck out her tongue and looked relieved.

She had thought that Ye Tian wanted to do something to her…

Windsor had always been confident in her looks.

In the past, when she lived with her mother in her stepfather’s house, several brothers and uncles looked at her with disgusting expressions.

“What do you think I want to do?”

Ye Tian teased.

Windsor glared angrily at Ye Tian.

She was not a child. How dare he tease her? Damn it.

The slight misunderstanding reduced the distance between the two of them.

Windsor arranged a room for Ye Tian.

As the captain of the town, Harun was relatively rich. At least, there were a few rooms where the guests lived.

Ye Tian returned home to get a change of clothes before staying at Uncle Harun’s place.

Since then, although Ye Tian hadn’t been patrolling the town every day, he had been able to arrive in time no matter what happened or what conflict occurred.

For the first three months, the town was as peaceful as ever.

One day, a grizzly bear accidentally barged into the town, probably because of the winter weather.

The grizzly bear wanted to search for food, but it accidentally ran into the houses of the town’s residents.

Ye Tian had been training at home, so when he heard the news, he immediately rushed over with his weapon.

Due to his timely arrival, he managed to subdue the grizzly bear before it caused casualties.

The townspeople were shocked by Ye Tian’s strength.

This young man didn’t look big, only about 1.8 meters tall, but his strength was ridiculous.

Facing the bear’s palm, Ye Tian caught it with one hand and thrust his spear through the bear’s eye socket, piercing its head.

After the death of the grizzly bear, the townspeople dismembered it.

The grizzly bear’s fur was completely peeled off, washed, and given to Ye Tian.

There was also grizzly bear meat and two bear paws.

Ye Tian didn’t stand on ceremony. He had contributed, so it was only natural for him to take the reward.

When he returned to Uncle Harun’s house, he called Windsor and made the bear paw into a delicacy.

Three months had clearly passed, but Uncle Harun’s wife had yet to return from her maiden home.

Ye Tian remembered Uncle Harun’s teachings and wasn’t curious. He focused on completing Uncle Harun’s entrustment.

In the blink of an eye, time passed quickly.

It had been two years since Uncle Harun left town.

After adding points to his physique, Ye Tian’s overall stats had already doubled that of an ordinary person.

He was even stronger now.

Over the past few days, news of the war between the two countries came one after another.

The Red Moon Empire had been losing the war. Many cities had been lost, and many soldiers had become deserters out of fear.

It was said that those soldiers could not recover their identities and became raiders. Several towns had been plundered.

…

On the other side.

On a hill outside Rock Town.

More than ten figures crawled in the bushes. Pairs of eyes stared at Rock Town through the gaps, and a ferocious glint flashed across their eyes occasionally.

A middle-aged man with a scar on his face turned to look at another person and asked, “Pidge, are you sure your information is accurate?”

Pidge nodded heavily.

“I’m sure. Back when Harun and I participated in the mission, the lost gold must have been hidden at his house.”

After a pause, he licked his lips and chuckled.

“Besides, Harun’s daughter, Windsor, is very beautiful now.”
