The middle-aged man looked at the young man in front of him. Let's just treat him as a teenager for now! His mood was a little complicated, and his mind was a little messy. The person in front of him was a year older than the previous monkey, but his figure …
That was even smaller than the monkey before. It was also a pointy eared monkey's cheeks, but it was slightly different from a monkey. At first glance, it really did look like a huge mouse. He shared the same address as the other two, which were both at the Ten Mile Temple on Gouffe Street.
"Over there …" The middle-aged man no longer had the same attitude as he did towards the monkey. Instead, he pointed in the direction of the stone lock and started registering. It could be seen that his movements were slightly stiff.
The Earth Rat walked towards the stone lock. Almost everyone's eyes were on him. Previously, there was already a miraculous monkey. They were all thinking, could it be that he is going to challenge the heaviest stone lock?
Their guess was not wrong. The rat did not reveal its speed, but actually, it was faster than the monkey. As they leisurely walked to the largest stone lock, everyone's eyes were wide open as they watched.
However, the Earth Mouse did not disappoint them. He really did lift up the gigantic boulder. Even though it appeared to be even more difficult than the monkey, he still persisted for three seconds before he could put it down.
Everyone present had the urge to curse in their hearts. Was he even human? This was against the laws of nature. Thinking about their body size and strength, many people wanted to find a hole to burrow into …
"Up..." "An officer!" The middle-aged man forcefully swallowed his saliva. After that, he gave the plate representing 'High Class Soldier' to the Earth Rat. At this moment, his mind was in a bit of a mess.
When the recruitment started today, his thoughts were the same as those of the other military officers. They predicted that there would be more people registering on this side of the street, but the overall quality would definitely be a bit worse. At the start of the recruitment, it was indeed as he had expected.
But since the arrival of Tie Ta, there had been three of them in a row. All of them were high-ranking soldiers, and they were the strongest of all the high-ranking soldiers. One had to know that most of the best soldiers could not lift the heaviest stone lock.
What's more, the size of the other two …
"Next!" The middle-aged man shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up as quickly as possible and continued.
"Fatty, 13 years old, Ten Mile Temple on Gou Lan Street." This time, the one that came out was not normal, but it was the exact opposite of the previous two. Thirteen years old, that body full of fat …
Almost a hundred kilograms, right?
The middle-aged officer's ability to strike back was now much stronger, so he didn't ask about their weird names anymore. Everything went on in an orderly manner, but when the fatty used one hand to lift the biggest stone lock, he once again felt a little dizzy …
"Black Hawk, 14 years old, Ten Mile Temple on Gou Lan Street …"
This looked a bit more normal, but his skin was truly quite dark. However, his eyes were very sharp.
"Luo Ming, 14 years old, Ten Mile Temple on Gou Lan Street …"
"Xiao Zhiyu, 15 years old, Ten Mile Temple on Gou Wai Street …"
The following registration made the middle-aged officer feel as if he was in a dream. Anyone who came from the Ten Mile Temple on Gouffel Street would raise the heaviest stone lock, and those behind them would look much more relaxed …
"Ten miles temple on Gouffe Street? Which immortal temple is this, if I have the time, I would have to go pay my respects to god! " The middle-aged officer couldn't help but think like this. There had been more than a dozen of them just now, and none of them had happened, even though the bodies behind him seemed to match their age.
"Little He, 13 years old, at the Ten Mile Temple on Gou Wai Street." Finally, it was Little He's turn. The crisp voice roused the middle-aged officer who seemed to be in a dream.
"Hu …" When the middle-aged military officer saw a young girl in her teens, he immediately wanted to shout out, but when he heard the words of the temple behind him, he forcefully swallowed it back and then just started to register, not forgetting to point towards the stone lock.
Logically speaking, it wasn't proper for women to join the army because in the army, they were all men. Moreover, they were all hot-blooded and impulsive men. If a woman appeared, then the result would be obvious …
However, the middle-aged officer didn't seem to have thought of this just now. He only heard the address of the temple, which was located ten miles away from Gauffel Street. During the registration, he had already taken out a metal token representing a high-ranking soldier.
Little He's figure was actually quite slender, but why was it taller than the monkey and the gophers?
The result was just as they had expected. That brittle little girl actually lifted that huge stone lock above her head. Although her face was a little flushed, she managed to hold on for three seconds.
Then, Little He naturally took the metal plate and walked towards the large tent.
The recruitment continued and people joined the line one after another. However, ever since they heard about the address of the temple, they never saw such a strange scene again. Although there were a few people who performed quite well in the end, compared to those people at the Ten Li Temple on Gouffe Street, the difference in abilities could not be measured …
Inside the tent, Bai Yu Zhe and the rest of them were gathered in a corner. They didn't speak to anyone, and they were all sitting cross-legged as if they were meditating. Bai Yu Zhe's performance was the same when he was registering. He didn't think that he would cause too much of a commotion.
Of course, the commotion caused by these nineteen people was already huge enough. It wouldn't be long before the name "Ten Mile Temple" would spread throughout the Floating City.
In this large tent, the nineteen of them appeared to be out of place. None of them dared to rashly approach, or carelessly point out anything. However, there were many people secretly exclaiming and discussing.
Actually, many of them knew Bai Yu Zhe and the others. After all, they all lived on Gou Wai Street. However, the current Bai Yu Zhe and the others that they knew were like a completely different group of people.
The recruitment continued into the evening, and only when the sun had set did they finish their work for the day. In fact, by the afternoon, the invasion of the Silver Wolf Country had already begun, but even on the southern side of the city, they could not feel it.
Gobi Street had quite a good number of recruits today, around two thousand soldiers. After the recruitment day ended, the middle-aged officer didn't bring them to the north of the city where the Mayor's mansion was, instead, to a camp south of the city.
Floating City had military camps not only in the north of the city, but also in several other places.
After arriving at the military camp, everyone ate dinner. Then, under the lead of several captains, they settled down in their residences.
The two thousand people were divided into small teams, each having twenty people. Then, the five large teams would form a single large team, and the five large teams would form a single battalion. Bai Yu Zhe and the other nineteen people were divided into a small team. Because of their special characteristics, no one else was willing to enter their squad to count.
"Boss, do you think our performance today is a bit too eye-catching?" Inside the tent, Luo Ming asked worriedly. Every team was divided into their own tents, so naturally, they were all together.
"It's fine, don't worry, it's fine if you put on a high profile. Otherwise, if I were to become an assistant soldier or a lowly soldier, the chances of me actually going on stage would not be high. " Bai Yu Zhe said.
The others nodded. In any case, they would do whatever Bai Yu Zhe said.
"Alright, everyone should start cultivating now. It's said that tomorrow, we will have a day of training before being transferred to the north side of the city to participate in the war!" Finally, Bai Yu Zhe gave the order and once again began cultivating.
Actually, under normal circumstances, the threshold for the recruitment of soldiers in the State of Yu was different from this. Furthermore, the training was not for a day, but for more than a month before they could enter the battlefield.
But right now, it was an extraordinary period, so they naturally couldn't do it like before. Otherwise, when they finished training, who knew if the city gates of the floating city had already been breached.
The next morning, just as dawn broke, all the recruits had already gathered at the drill grounds. After last night, their units had been separated. Out of the 2000 people, there were more than 1000 of them as support soldiers. There were only two squads of top class soldiers, including 19 people like Bai Yu Zhe.
All the rest were low-ranking soldiers.
Therefore, the content of their training was different as well. They were split into three groups.
The main purpose of the support troops was to transport combat supplies to the city walls, and to do some odd jobs. If the situation wasn't urgent, they wouldn't have to face the enemy directly.
The role of a lowly soldier was to release rolling logs, fuel, rocks, bow and arrow while defending the city. As for the high-ranking soldiers, they would have to fight them head-on. Of course, if they were short on manpower during the defense, they would have to help out. Furthermore, the high-ranking soldiers that had just been recruited wouldn't let them be the archers.
Archers needed to be trained for a long period of time, and their arm strength was no small matter.
The training of the day had been to arrange some basic formations and then explain some military rules to let everyone know that it was the duty of a soldier to absolutely obey orders.
After one day of training, on the morning of the third day, Bai Yu Zhe and the rest of them were led by a deputy general to the north of the city. Today, they were going to climb the city walls and begin the defense of the city.
However, the recruitment never stopped. Every day, it would continue …
