Chapter 23: A Soldiers Duty is to Obey Orders
It was six o'clock in the morning. A sharp whistle sounded, accompanied by the Niu brothers' yelling, and after a while of chaos...
"One two one, one two one, one two three four!"
"One two three four!"
The sound of messy footsteps paired with loud shouts. That was what the residents of Xi Yang City saw in the morning. They were in a loss, standing on the side of the streets, looking at the team of people running while carrying sandbags and shouting numbers in rhythm.
"What are these people doing in the morning? Didn't they join the army?"
"They're probably training. It just that their training method is a bit weird; they actually came out to run in the morning."
"I heard that knights train by practicing charging, dueling, and fighting with spears..."
"However, they wear pretty good clothes. They all have new clothes. I heard that there are large pieces of meat to eat in the military camp. I don't know if it's true though."
"I wonder when the army will start recruiting again. I also want to join the army."
This was the first time the residents of Xi Yang City had seen an army morning run.
The Niu brothers ran at the side, holding a wooden stick. They would harshly whip whoever slowed down a little.
"All of you, run. Or else I'll whip you to death." Niu Da yelled.
100 people quickly ran out of Xi Yang City, and ran around Xi Yang City under the morning light.
Xin Ke was a powerful hunter. In the beginning, he didn't realize the point of running, but when he started panting and saw the Niu brothers still breathing steadily, he realized that they were making them run to train their endurance.
When the team returned to Xi Yang City, they saw Liu Feng standing outside of the military camp, yawning.
Today, the breakfast was 2 steamed buns that were twice the size of a fist and a bowl of soup made from pig bones. Thee people's eyes glowed as they chewed. The soft white buns were 100 times tastier than the wheat bread that they ate. The soup was so good that they almost shed tears.
Liu Feng was full after eating one steamed bun and a bowl of soup. He nodded in satisfaction after seeing the reaction of the people around him. Who wouldn't work hard for him if the life in the army is good? The steamed buns in here tastes good, and they would be the first ones to object if they were made to eat the hard wheat bread.
"This broth is delicious," Mina drank the broth in one gulp.
"Let's go. We'll leave this place to Niu Da and the others. Let's take a look at other things right now," Liu Feng stood up and gave the steamed bun that he hadn't eaten to Mina.
Mina's eyes turned in crescent moons. She took the steamed bun and took small bites. The two steamed buns could only make her 70% full.
Niu Ben swiftly followed behind them. In his current appearance, no one would be able to see that he was a cripple. He walked more powerfully than an average person.
"Uncle Niu Ben, I already made people buy warhorses. There shouldn't be a big problem. Let's go take a look at the weapons right now," Liu Feng lead the way to the warehouse.
The things inside the warehouse were things that he brought from Earth a few days ago. Today was the time to let people see them.
. Literally, chicken fly dog jump. Describing a scene that's messy, disorderly, or chaotic.
Bunch of sadists. Plus adding pain just makes it harder to run.
. Pay respect to, greet, or see. It's like in those cultivation novels where the disciple says, "Disciple greets master," just that they (probably) use instead of .
I'd like to see you try, shut-in. Let's see how much better you'll do. Oh, and don't forget the whipping. . For this part, I was debating whether or not I should put in natural duty or just duty. means sky or heaven, and could also mean natural in some cases. means duty, vocation, or profession. would mean natural duty, but I felt that just duty would be better, so I didn't include natural.
. It's a type of battle where one side has the advantage. The side that is fighting a "" is the side that has the advantage, whether it's a number advantage or whatever. The other side, the side that has the disadvantage, isn't fighting a "". (Idk what it's called.) Asymmetrical war was the closest thing that I could find, with the only difference being that both sides are fighting an "asymmetrical war", whether they have an advantage or disadvantage.
Translator Note:
Although I said that I'll work extra, I was forced outside today in the garden with a bunch of bugs and I've counted at least 8 bugs on my body today. Most of the bites were small and don't affect much, but theirs one on my hand and it itches as hell, so I might not be able to fill up the chapters that I own pretty soon. That said, I'll still be doing daily updates, so no worries about that.Vissit for updates
