30 Years After Reincarnating, It Turns Out This World Was A Rofan?! novel Chapter 2

Recalling the memories of my former life broadened my horizons and deepened my thinking, and I matured in many ways, and fortunately I quickly became a soldier.

However, not long after I became a soldier, war broke out.

It was a war with a hostile nation with whom the kingdom had not always been on good terms, and it lasted a short three years.

It happened to be a war in which I became a soldier, and I was forced to take part by crying and eating mustard.

I wanted to run away, but I had to grit my teeth and participate in the war, because if I became a deserter, my life would be difficult and I would be a wanted man for the rest of my life.

Three years of war is a short time.

But anyone who took part in the war will tell you.

It was a fierce and bloody war, like a 30-year war, not a three-year war.

And fortunately, the winner of the war was the faction of the kingdom to which I belonged, which resulted in the kingdom becoming a great nation, if not an empire.

A soldier of a kingdom and now a soldier of a great power?

I've heard that my salary will be tripled, and as a war veteran I'll get some tax breaks.

It's enough to make up for having my arm almost cut off and my stomach pierced. ....

"Fuck, no way.

If it weren't for the resilience of a true troll, I would have died dozens of times.

For the first time, I was grateful to the sorcerer who tortured me as a child in the name of experimentation.

For the first time, I realised that real war is a shitty thing.

Well, as long as I was alive and well, I decided I didn't care if the kingdom became a great power or not.

Above all.

"I quit because I'm dirty!

The madness of joining the war as a new soldier, I'm a government employee, I'm a Nabal, I'm all jingles.

So I resigned immediately, took my severance pay and tried to run an inn.

I had a little hope that even if I didn't make much money, I could live in peace.

Unfortunately, the world rarely works as planned.

"Hao, did you do this?"

"Huh?"

"You saved the princess, thank you, thank you so much, hehe!"

"...?"

The remnants of the enemy nation suddenly attacked the camp, and I was just fighting randomly, but somehow I ended up saving the kingdom's princess... ....

If anyone heard it, they'd probably call me a liar and tell me to make it up, and I'd feel terrible for being the one to tell it.

I wanted to keep a low profile and just live quietly, but I saved a princess?

What kind of nonsense is that?

But unfortunately, reality is reality.

"I didn't know a man of your calibre could be so rotten as a soldier."

Suddenly he threw me a sword and a necklace resembling a military sash.

"From now on, you are a knight."

"??"

I later found out that the old-fashioned looking middle-aged man was the head of the Knights Templar and had the power to appoint knights at will.

And so, unexpectedly, I was knighted.

Very unexpectedly.

"Is this right?

"I can do it.

"I am a former slave.

"The kingdom doesn't care where you come from, as long as you're capable."

"Actually, I also have a history of working for an assassination organisation..."

"Hmph, an unusual background, but I like it! Career positions are welcome!"

"......."

I hated it so much that I even came out as an assassin, but it didn't work on this guy.

That's when I realised.

I realised that this guy was as crazy as I was.

"He's a real asshole.

After that day, the bullies stopped bothering me.

Or rather, most of them turned white and ran away.

I'm told that some of those I beat up are still being treated at the temple, and some of those who recovered are mentally incapable of fighting again and have retired.

"Did I beat them up too badly?

But I can't help it.
