The young people that were drafted were initially given a low rank.

In the past, any noble would receive their knighthood immediately, but the law was changed recently.

Knighthood shall be given to one that had survived three battles.

This change was made to save the country’s money.

There were a lot of cases where nobles would get themselves killed or captured on their first battle that resulted in Aehas compensating for their loss more than those who belong in the lower ranks.

Ning’s name was announced, “Xu’s and Sir shin’s offspring, Ning Xu!”

The military base Ning Xu was assigned to was at the base of a mountain.

It was considered one of the more dangerous areas amongst the other bases that Draconian controls because their enemies could utilize the Hazardan around it.

Many deaths have occurred here as recorded in their previous battles.

Most of the nobles bribed the higher-ups to make sure that they didn’t end up here, but Ning was sent here with other boys from poor families along with the unlucky ones.

Three battles to become a knight.

Their commander studied the recruits with sharp eyes.

The boys and Ning stood tall and rigidly, hoping to be favored by him.

The recruits’ immediate superior, a knight, announced the rules and news while the high commander continued to examine the newcomers. He kept going back and forth between his papers and his new men.

The paperwork included portraits of the recruits and the commander was making sure that they matched.

Then suddenly, the commander raised his left eyebrow.

“A girl?”. Curious question look of the face of the commander.

Ning swallowed hard. The commander, Sir Xuan Litranois, had a fairly good reputation but as a soldier, not as a person.

At least, he was considered to be a talented commander and tactician.

Ning Xu answered, “Yes! That’s correct, sir!”

“Are you a virgin?”

“Pardon?”. She was shocked about that question again she guess.

When Ning Xu looked up in shock, the commander got irritated and slapped her hard.

She almost fell to the ground, but she gritted her teeth and remained standing.

“I asked you if you are a virgin.”

“Yes! That is correct, sir!”

When Poliana answered and while hiding her mortification, the commander nodded and replied, “I was hoping to get a taste of fresh meat, and yet, what we ended up with is an ugly thing like you… Dammit.”

Poliana clenched her teeth but she couldn’t stop trembling. She was horrified and to hide her embarrassment, she lowered her face but when the commander saw this, he slapped her again.

“Look up!”

“I’m sorry, sir!”

She could feel everyone’s eyes on her. She didn’t have to look around to know. She knew that they were all laughing at her and that they all despised her.

Poliana kept her chin up, trying to prevent her tears from rolling down her eyes. One of the boys whispered viciously, “Why did she bother coming here? This is war and this is not a place for a girl She should’ve stayed back home and get herself pregnant. Although looking like that, I doubt anyone would marry her.”
