"New recruits can be selected from the serfs."
Leech's final words were the stamp of approval on establishing the Porcupine Territory Cavalry.
The commoner population was only two hundred, and nearly all the able-bodied young men had already joined the ranks of the Porcupine Soldiers. It was impossible to find any more recruits among them; they were either too old or too young. Fresh blood was a necessity.
"Pick the younger ones," Leech stressed again.
Soldiers were different. They were responsible for defending their home. If they didn't feel a sense of belonging, how could they be expected to risk their lives to protect it?
The younger they were, the stronger their sense of belonging would be as they grew up in the Porcupine Territory.

THUMP. The sound startled Qing Tian, who had just slunk back into the room.
"MEOW!" Its fur stood on end as it quickly fled.
