Chapter 12 External Admissions
Bard is only three external students in Winters' class One of the students who entered, and should be the most powerful among the three.

Because most of the outside admissions to the Army Officer Academy are from the Artillery Division who are exceptionally talented in mathematics.

But Bard read the cavalry section, and the cavalry section had not had an outside scholar for six full years before Bard.

When the Inter-Provincial Republic was still the Duchy of Piedmont, from the grandfather of Bard, their family lived by raising horses for the Mennai count family.

From the time the old count was alive until the grandson of the old count inherited the title.

As soon as he has time, Bud's grandfather will take his two sons to take care of the family's dozen acres of land. Although the days are hard, at least there is no need to worry about poor food and clothing.

But Bard's grandfather never dreamed of a sovereign war.

In their eyes, life is peaceful and subsistence, and they never thought that this state would be broken.

When Galaven sect smashed the church, the Bud family had a vague feeling that wind and rain were coming.

However, the three generations of their family are all duty grooms who make a living by raising horses for Count. They can't do anything except feed Count's horses.

When the first Jade City riots, militias took the city.

The Budds are feeding count's horses, and count is on hold because he is not a royalist;
When the first Jade City riot was suppressed and the army of the emperor-appointed governor marched into the city.

The Budd family was feeding the horses to count, and count did not move, because he did not support the militia;

When the second Jade City riot, the militia broke through the Jade City and took the governor. When trapped in the fortress.

The Bud family is feeding the horses to count, and count continues to stand still, he chooses to wait and see;

When the second suppression of Jade City fails, the Battle of the Golden Saddle ends, the Duchy of Piedmont When the royalist nobles were wiped out.

The Bud family was feeding Count's horses, but Count was still standing still. He planned to continue watching;

Finally, the emperor released his vicious dog, the Duke of Arlean.

The Duke of Arlean declares that all nobles who did not die in the Battle of the Golden Saddle are traitors.

The Buds are feeding the count... oh, no more feeding the horses this time.

Because all the warhorses were brought to war by the Menna counts, the garrison nobles of the Piedmont Duchy could no longer stand on the sidelines.

The Budd family switched jobs to count cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks.

The Duke of Arlean committed suicide.

They didn't expect that the militiamen and the noble army of the fallen imperial faction, who were still fighting side by side yesterday, began to fight again today.

Knights in helmets and helmets patrol Imperial Family Avenue, killing all suspicious passers-by without trial, just to intercept the messengers who are connecting the city's militias;

alone Swordsmen in action roamed the forest paths, carrying long swords and matchlock guns wrapped in black cloth, waiting to assassinate any nobles they could find.

The civil war ended with the victory of the militia, and no more dukes were elected, and the land was renamed the [United Republic of the Seventeen Provinces of the Piedmont Lands], referred to as the United Provinces Republic.

Bard's family doesn't have to worry about going back and feeding the horses to the count, because the militia's knives are faster than those of the Duke of Arleans, and they are more ruthless than the Duke of Arlean.

There is no Menna count anymore, and the whole family of Menna counts has no one left.

The inter-provincial republic will no longer fall into the hands of nobles, because there are no living nobles in the inter-province who dare to claim titles.

The Buds thought it would end like this: Although they could no longer feed the count's horses, they could at least go back and manage their land.

The Budd family did not expect that they were waiting for the leader of Richard IV to personally bring troops into battle.

And it is no longer just the republic of the United Provinces, the Imperial Family of Hailan, the Duchy of the Plateau... The entire two mountains and the empire are involved in the vortex.

The original Mennai count collar—now Mennai Province, was beaten into a piece of white ground again.

Immature crops are trampled and burned, and the rout is more terrifying than the robber.

Bad's father lost his father, big brother, younger sister and all children in the war.

The Budds are completely bankrupt, they have a small plot of land but no food.

In desperation, Bud's father mortgaged the small plot of land at home to the Green Heart monastery near the village.

The husband and wife take shelter in the protection of the monastery and become the monastery's tenant farmers.

The Sovereign War ended completely, the emperor retreated, the Cenas Alliance was formally established, and the couple gave birth to Bard.

For Bud's parents, life as a sharecropper saw no way out.

They can barely make ends meet and are doomed to not be able to save enough money to redeem the land.

So the only thing Bud's parents can count on is to get Bud into a monastery, called a cultivator.

But a cultivator is a registered clergyman, how can a child from a poor family become a cultivator?

The monastery will not accept a youngster who has nothing, and a cultivator must bring a fortune to the monastery.

monastery only welcomes "brothers" with title deeds and gold and silver.

Bud has been a servant in the monastery for as long as he can remember, starting with low-level chores like cleaning toilets. He was diligent, careful, and taciturn.

So he quickly moved away from lowest's chores to clean the copy room and library of the Greenheart monastery.

A kind-hearted cultivator taught him literacy and the Old Language, and Bard taught himself the Old Language through the Old Language/Archaic Dictionary.

Since being able to read, Bard spends all of his free time in the library at the Greenheart monastery.

He has read a large number of ancient books and preserved materials in monastery, and taught himself the "Arithmetic", "Principles of Geometry" by the scholar of the ancient empire and the "Medical Classics" by the Freymans.

At the same time, his status within the monastery also continued to improve: from cleaning the library to cleaning the precious Saint Artifact, the relics of the saints, and then becoming the valet of the dean of the monastery , responsible for helping the dean with accounting.

But the more Bud learns about monastery, the more desperate he gets. Because he knew that he could never become a cultivator, he never wanted to be a tenant farmer and servant for the rest of his life.

By chance, Bud learned about the existence of the Army Officer Academy from a monastery visitor, and learned that the Army Officer Academy does not require tuition fees and has no application restrictions.

So when Bud was sixteen years old, he decided to give it a try, starting from his hometown of Gerrard village with the six small silver shields and three pieces of black bread he had saved, and hiking 100 kilometers. Come to Jade City.

With his ancestral horse-raising ability and outstanding test scores in cultural courses, Bud miraculously was admitted to the cavalry department of the Army Officer Academy, and he also became the only one outside the cavalry department for six years. Enrolled students.

Bud and Winters met in horse school.

[Note: horse study and equestrianism are two courses]
Compared with equestrianism, Bud is far inferior to Winters; but in terms of the ability to take care of horses, Winters can't catch up with Bud.

When they first met, Winters just wondered where this unfamiliar young farmer learned how to trim hoofs?
As they got to know each other more and more, Winters found more and more that Bud had the advantages that he did not have, such as being gentle, patient, and rarely losing his temper.

Winters lack these qualities, so they unconsciously approach people who have them.

And Bud was comfortable with Winters' uncharitable friendship.

Over time, the two became very good friends.

Every time I think of Bud, I automatically get the cross-eyed eyes of my cat in the reliable gay KV-2.
