Three days later, many of the eighty-one soldiers returned.
Their complexions have improved significantly, and there are smiles on their faces. After seeing me, they also chattered and started discussing:
"My lord, when will we start training!"
"That's right! You need to train earlier to resist the demon invasion from the west!"
"You can't just rely on Felita alone, and our young people in Yuxi City are not just watching!"
The enthusiasm can be said to be unprecedentedly high, and each of them is completely different from the half-dead look before.
In fact, it is very simple. They originally hoped to die so that they could bring a pension to their families. But what I didn't expect was that the money was sent out early. The war was not for death, so naturally I wanted to survive. Only if they want to survive, they will think about how to survive. And on the battlefield, there is only one way to survive, which is to be stronger than the opponent, many times stronger, and crush them all the way to reduce casualties as much as possible!
So they want to be strong.
In my opinion, the root of whether a person is strong or not lies in whether he has the idea of becoming stronger.
When everyone has this idea, the combat effectiveness of the army can enter a stage of steady rise.
-but.
Ignorance is unacceptable.
I yelled at them without saying a word:
"Fighting demons? Are you out of your mind, or do you think mine is out of your mind? What do you guys have now? Martial arts are still in the introductory stage, you don't know magic at all, you haven't practiced the formation, and you are not familiar with each other. Just So you want to fight the demons? It’s a good thing to have a warm blood, don’t let your blood get cold, but don’t get on top, don’t be impulsive, and don’t make unnecessary sacrifices.”
The crowd was silent for a while.
I looked around and found that the strongest among the eighty-one people was a young man in his twenties and sixteen years old. He looked like he used a knife. So I raised my hand and called him out:
"You, come out."
The young man stood in front of me without saying a word.
"what is it call?"
"Lugar."
I nodded and said to the rest:
"This person is now almost at the second level of swordsmanship. I don't know much about you, so I will tentatively designate him as your captain. If you have any objections, you can come up now and have a quick fight with him. If you win, the position of captain is yours."
Two young men who refused to admit defeat came to the stage, but they were beaten down by Luge in the end.
Others naturally have nothing to complain about. Luge and I didn't know each other before, and we didn't act of nepotism at all, and doing so was just as smooth as a bowl of water.
After seeing that everyone agreed, I said seriously:
"You want to fight the demons, which is very good. This ideal is very good, but it is not suitable to practice now. You still need a lot of training, not only to improve your own strength, but also to improve the tacit understanding of the team. I know that I I can't bring an army of tens of thousands of people, so I plan to train you as a knife. You must be sharp enough, you must be able to overcome difficulties, and you must fight battles that others cannot and dare not fight. Eighty-one people, Except for the captain Luge, divide them into eight teams, with ten members in each team, and elect one person to be the team leader. During this period of time, apart from training, people in the team must remember each other’s names, ages, physical characteristics, etc. Be as familiar as possible. Again, what I want is an army, not a simple 'bunch of people'."
Everyone roared with all their might:
"yes!"
I turned to Alaya and said:
"During this period, you should make time to come to the military camp every morning and evening. When I taught you swordsmanship, how did you get the basics, such as 5,000-meter running, push-ups, sit-ups, cross-country, horizontal and parallel bars, etc. Let those who have never experienced these items experience it. In addition, what military boxing should be played, it is effective."
Monk Zhang Er, the person below, couldn't figure it out.
Alaya nodded calmly, revealing a smile.
I still remember that when she was exhausted from running with heavy loads and fell to the ground, her legs were bleeding profusely from rubbing against the gravel ground. I stood aside coldly, holding a parasol, and squatted down to ask her:
-"Tired?"
At that time Alaiya nodded, and I smiled and asked her again:
—"If someone cuts off my head in the future, and you look helpless on the sidelines. It's probably because you failed to complete the training today and didn't become strong enough... believe it?"
At that time, Alaiya got up from the ground with tears all over her face, and ran staggeringly as if seeing a tragic future. And I, who threatened her, leisurely followed behind, waiting to hug her back when she was completely exhausted.
Looking back on the past, it was not easy for everyone.
Now, most of these ignorant young people will experience the pain of transformation from Alayya.
Really exciting to think about!
I shook my head with a smile, and waved to Luge:
"You stay alone, I have something to tell you."
