If a person with a physical impairment is positive in his mind and takes the initiative to overcome difficulties, then he will also be successful.

– Alfred Adler (Austrian psychologist)

Even if there is more hatred in his heart, Bai Feng can't really be too harsh on the soldiers of the Eastern Legion;

It's just that the Fourth Route Army is about to set out, and Bai Feng really doesn't have more time left for the soldiers of the Eastern Army to complete their training content step by step, so as a last resort, Bai Feng sent the system of the pro-soldier guard as a training supervisor.

Six Spartan heavy infantry, four Roman youth troops, and four Macedonian royal cavalry were tasked with strictly supervising the daily training of the officers and men of the Eastern Legion, and they had the right to punish those who were lazy or not serious with up to ten lashes.

Don't simply think that momentary hatred can really permanently change a person's nature, there is no shortage of stunned young people in the Eastern Legion who came to join the army on impulse, and after several days of painful training, the blood of revenge has long ceased to boil.

If it weren't for Bai Feng's need for the Eastern Legion to play a special role in future battles, it would be impossible for all the soldiers who exposed their lazy nature to be left in the army by him, but since they stayed, it was impossible for Bai Feng to let them go.

The leather whip in the army can make the skin of the punished person open with one whip, usually five whips can make an originally strong soldier lie in bed for three days; the ten whips of Bai Feng's power will not beat the punished person to death, but it will definitely make the punished person wail in pain for a month!

For lazy people, it is not necessarily unacceptable to exchange a whip for a month's rest, and in response to this laughable situation, Bai Feng took the measure of letting Hua Mu be permanently stationed in the barracks of the Eastern Legion.

Under Hua Mu's treatment, those lazy people who were whipped with blurred flesh and blood often only needed two or three hours of rest before they could return to training;

On the morning of the 14 th Squad of System Arms being transformed into training supervisors, more than 300 of the 32,000 officers and men of the Eastern Army were personally whipped by the severe, and the punished slackers were compulsorily ordered to join the training in the afternoon after being treated by Hua Mu.

Not counting those lazy people who were whipped twice in one day, nearly 800 lazy soldiers were punished on the first day alone, and when this speechless number was delivered to Bai Feng, he could only smile bitterly and shake his head at Sophia to express his disappointment.

"Bai Feng, why don't you kick these black sheep out of the Eastern Army? Keeping them will only affect other soldiers who train seriously!" Sophia, who has had the ideal of protecting his family and defending the country since he was a child, is particularly dissatisfied with the soldiers who are lazy and slippery in these trainings.

"These slackers are shameful, but they will not be kicked out of the legion for a single laziness, and I have given orders to the four commanders of the Eastern Legion that the soldiers who have been punished three times will be assigned to the death battalion that will be formed. ”

"Death battalion?"

"When the province of Nice was in danger of being invaded by an orc army, the rogue ruffians from all over Nice took the opportunity to rob and kill people in the town, and then they were all arrested and put on death row by the Duke of Nice, and I took them from the Duke of Nice. ”

"What do you want them to do?" Sophia, who had a strong sense of justice, was filled with indignation as soon as she heard the origin of the members of the death camp: "These scum and scum of the empire should be directly executed, and they will be cheapened in death row!"

"......" Bai Feng felt that he shouldn't have mentioned the matter of defending the death camp to Sophia, and now he echoed Sophia's words: "I think that instead of letting these scum die under the sword of their own people, it is better to let them fight with the orcs and atone for their actions." ”

"Hmph, anyway, I don't think these scumbags should give them a chance to survive in the world!!"

Bai Feng, who regretted his words, appeased Sophia again, and then casually found a reason to leave the military tent; in fact, the matter about the death camp was far more complicated than Bai Feng had just explained, and his promise to those death row prisoners was impossible for Sophia to accept.

Hundreds of hooligans and ruffians who robbed and killed people on the streets, hundreds of fierce robbers who were burdened with blood debts, and all the death row prisoners in Nice Province were all asked by Bai Feng to form a death camp, and Bai Feng's promise to the death row prisoners was that as long as they completed their tasks, they could regain their freedom!

As for what their mission was, Bai Feng hadn't told them at this time, in fact, even if Bai Feng directly ordered them to commit suicide collectively, they were not qualified to resist, because they themselves were death row prisoners, and they didn't even have the most basic human rights.

Bai Feng, who was in charge of an army of more than 200,000 people, would definitely be attacked by countless imperial nobles if he indiscriminately killed hundreds of innocent imperial people;

If the death row prisoners in the death camp really completed the task given to them by Bai Feng, then Bai Feng would keep his promise and give them freedom, but this freedom was extremely limited, and they didn't even have a chance to leave the Feather Forest Legion.

The death row inmates in the death camp are not righteous knights and heroes, and it is better to die than to live is the law of their survival, and they know better than anyone else that limited freedom is equivalent to being able to live forever compared to inevitable death.

Putting the soldiers of the Eastern Legion who have been punished three times into the death battalion can be regarded as Bai Feng's stern warning to the officers and men of the Eastern Legion; even if the Eastern Legion is not the main force of the Fourth Route Army, he wants the officers and men of the Eastern Legion not to dare to slack off!

While severely punishing those who are lazy, Bai Feng also rewards the soldiers who perform well in training without hesitation; each brigade of the four Eastern Legions will select three of the most well-trained soldiers every day.

Each of these three soldiers will receive a bonus of ten gold coins, and a soldier who has won the bonus three times in a row will be appointed as the captain of the squad himself, and a soldier who has won the bonus five times in a row will have his family get a nice house in one of the counties of the province of Nice.

Such a heavy reward was enough to make all the soldiers of the Eastern Legion crazy, and even the soldiers of the other main legions of the Fourth Route Army were envious and jealous of it, and in order to appease the morale of the soldiers of the main legion, Bai Feng also extended this reward system to the main legion.

The Fourth Route Army had two Royal Legions, six Standing Legions, four Eastern Legions, and four wings of the Pro-Guards, making a total of five hundred and thirty-two brigades, each of which had three prizes per day, that is, 15,960 gold coins!

The bonus expenditure of nearly 16,000 gold coins a day was nothing to Bai Feng, who had deep pockets, but it was a great incentive for the soldiers from civilian backgrounds, and the training enthusiasm of the entire Fourth Route Army had risen by leaps and bounds.

The efforts of the vast majority of officers and men still could not conceal the existence of some rat droppings; the death battalion, which was formed with more than 400 death row prisoners, had exceeded 800 by the end of the month, and the other 300 or so soldiers were all from the Eastern Army.

Properly weeding out some of the stubborn lazy people should be considered a good thing for the thriving Eastern Legion, and the growing size of the Death Battalion was not a bad thing for Bai Feng, because he already needed the Death Battalion to perform very difficult tasks.
