I picked up the dragon girl at the beginning and I used artillery fire to liberate the other world

William was free, but also confused.

As a strong and high-quality serf who never spared his physical strength, he became one of the first beneficiaries of the transformation from serfs to free people.

Just as Bai Yan said, he got a piece of land west of Black Iron Castle.

But for a moment, the huge change in his identity made him forget himself.

How should I live as a free citizen?

Walking on the dirt road between the low stone houses in Black Iron Castle, William did not find the freedom he had longed for. It seemed that he was somewhat out of tune with this world.

The vendors working hard, the drunkards walking out of the tavern arm in arm, the bards playing unknown instruments, and even the puppies on the roadside were happily chasing and playing with their own kind.

Everything was developing and progressing, and apart from doing farm work in the fields, he had been wandering aimlessly in Black Iron Castle for three days.

His mind was blank and his steps moved forward mechanically and numbly until he felt his nose sore, then he stopped.

"Hey! Are you blind? You bumped into me!"

The angry curse made him tremble involuntarily, as if the whip that was so familiar to him was about to hit his back.

But I calmed down immediately and thought: Oh! I am no longer a serf.

The man cursed angrily, turned around, and stood obediently in front of William.

William turned slightly to the side and saw a long team like a river appearing in front of him. At the end of the team was a small table. The famous chief knight, Gray Carlston, was sitting in front of the table, registering something. There were also two soldiers holding spears standing around.

What on earth was it that was worthy of this knight's personal attention? William suddenly became curious.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

William patted the man in front of him on the shoulder with courage. Alvin Drake, who was already impatient, turned around again and said, "What? You don't even know the biggest news of the past two days. Are you a drunkard who only knows how to drink?"

"No, I was actually a serf before, and was recently restored as a free citizen by His Highness Bai Yan." William stated his original identity without hesitation, which stunned Ivan Drake in front of him and the anger on his face also subsided a little.

"Well, congratulations, bro. I thought you were one of those drunkards who have fallen into depravity.

As for why they are all lining up, it is because His Highness Bai Yan is going to expand his army."

"Expand the army? Then have you been requisitioned by His Highness?" William was a little puzzled. Why would they expand the army for no reason?

“That’s not the case. If you ask me, there is nothing similar between Your Highness and those blood-sucking nobles except their status.

Guess what His Highness did? He actually paid the soldiers. "Ivan said with a sense of pride on his face, "And he paid 50 silver coins a year, which is enough for our family of three to eat for two years."

"What? Fifty silver coins a year?" William doubted his ears. It didn't make sense! Since the founding of the country, there has never been a salary paid to soldiers.

"So, brother, I just came here to try, maybe I will be selected."

"Can I join the army then?"

A glimmer of light rose in William's heart. He urgently needed to do something to get rid of his previous serf mentality, and joining the army to serve His Highness Bai Yan was obviously a good choice.

"Of course buddy, you're so strong, you have a chance." Ivan laughed and put his arm on William.

The signatures were all written by Ivan holding his hand, but it was finally passed. Yes, William had become a soldier of the 001rd Company, 2st Battalion, 1nd Regiment, 3st Division.

"Report to the camp in the southwest corner of Black Iron Castle tomorrow and be prepared. I believe you will not like tomorrow's training." A soldier handed William a wooden board with his name on it, and the smile on his face made him a little confused.

"Brother, what a coincidence! I am also from the 2rd Company, 1st Battalion, 3nd Regiment.

I don’t know what life is like for soldiers?”

Ivan hooked his arm around William's shoulder, then pushed him and started walking: "To celebrate our successful enlistment, I'll treat you, let's have a few drinks."

"I can't drink." William said apologetically.

"It's okay. Drinking doesn't matter." Alvin was very enthusiastic, and the two men became friends and comrades-in-arms.

After drinking, the two came to a big tree south of Black Iron Castle. The sky had just begun to darken, and the outline of the huge moon had already emerged. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the bare branches onto their faces, creating an orange-yellow halo.

Feeling the autumn breeze and listening to Ivan bragging beside him, William smiled. At this moment, he finally found what he had been looking for for a long time.

Freedom! It's great.

The next day, before dawn, William and Ivan arrived under the big tree. This was the place they had agreed to meet yesterday, and it was not far from the camp in the southwest corner.

"Come on, buddy, go and welcome your new life." Ivan laughed and William nodded comfortably.

"Fight for His Highness!" He shouted at the top of his voice, and everything in the past seemed to drift away into nothingness in this voice.

From today on, he is new soldier William.

As they walked towards the southwest corner of the camp, more and more people appeared around them.

These are all new recruits. Everyone started to gather together, and they were all full of expectations for military life.

50 silver coins a year, and if you sacrifice, you will get three gold coins for your family.

Now, they are willing to fight all day long.

From a distance, the green linen tents in the camp could be seen, and at the same time, a loud and vague sound was heard.

William listened to the majestic shout, which seemed to have the power to inspire people.

As I got closer, the shouting became clearer and clearer, something like: "One, two, one, one, two, one!!!"
