"Whew! Call! Call! ……”

Panting like cattle and slower like a snail, a group of people slowly ran along the road in the outermost circle of West Elder City, and it was Alice who was running at the front.

The group of people were directly fully armed, and in addition to the full set of equipment on their bodies, each of them also had a number of weight-bearing sandbags, such as weight vests, which weighed from one kilogram to twenty kilograms. Although these weight-bearing sandbags are not very heavy, for this group of people who are running around the city, the full set of equipment alone is enough for them, not to mention the addition of such heavy sandbags.

Originally, Alice and the elites selected by the mercenary king didn't take this so-called weight-bearing run seriously, but now that they have run around the city three times, everyone can feel the impact of this actually small amount of weight.

It was definitely not comparable to when there was no weight, but none of these people complained, they were all running as hard as they could.

The reason why they work so hard is actually very simple.

"Why do we have to run together like this? Aren't we here to be some kind of special instructor? Garon, who was dressed in simple leather armor and carrying a large wooden stick on his back, which looked very sturdy, complained with dissatisfaction. This guy has the best physical fitness, so the weight vest on his body is also the heaviest of all.

Hawke, who was beside him, couldn't help but give him a blank look, and adjusted his rhythm to try to stay away from the stupid guy.

"Yo, you can still complain, it looks like your physical strength is still very abundant." Roger, who still appeared in front of everyone in the form of the old magician "Merlin", rode a wildebeest leisurely, slowly drew a circle with the cane in his hand, and an ice hockey ball exuding a strong chill suddenly appeared behind Garon, shooting a series of Xiaoice cones at Garon.

These Xiaoice cones are not very powerful. But the landing point of these Xiaoice cones is really a little sinister, and Garon, who is running unhurriedly, immediately feels his chrysanthemum tight.

"I'll go!" Garon was startled, and quickly quickened his pace, and suddenly overtook Alice, who was running at the front. And Hawke, who was affected by the pond fish, was also helpless and quickly accelerated directly to follow him, after all, the ice hockey was staring at him who was trying to hide far away from him from the beginning, and Hawke, who had a lot of weight on his body, had no place to hide at all. I can only honestly follow and speed up.

Aisha, who was originally following Alice, couldn't help but stick out her tongue, and she overtook Alice very smartly and ran directly to the third position. By the way, the weight of Elsa's weight vest is not lower than Hawke's, but Elsa who does not carry a longbow and quiver and a heavy crossbow like Hawke can run much easier than Hawke, but Elsa still only runs to the third place with only a pair of daggers and a leather armor, after all, they know very well that the higher the ranking, the more weight will be added next time.

"Bang dang! Bang dang! ……”

The armor on his body kept making a loud noise during the run, but Mumu, who saw that his friends had increased his speed, unconsciously surpassed Alice. He finished in fourth place with a heavy stride. For Mumu, the little weight added on his body is not at all comparable to the weight of the heavy armor, but when he exercises, Mumu is actually wearing training armor with the same weight as the armor he uses every day, so Mumu is not distressed by this small wear and tear.

Anne, who didn't show the fox's ears and tail, followed by Mom and surpassed Alice, and although Anne was a warlock, she was now dressed as a battlemage: a pair of sturdy leather armor beyond the eerie magic robes that had been cut to the knees to a knee-long basis. Anne carried the wooden staff she was used to on her back, plus the weight vest. Anne's weight is actually heavier than Elsa's. But she is actually a warlock and not a magician with physical fitness, not to mention that Anne still has the blood of the fox clan among the beasts, and her physical strength is far better than the weak appearance she seems.

Seeing that the so-called instructors, who were much younger than her, surpassed her one by one, Alice clenched her teeth and tried to pick up the pace again. However, her physical strength had actually reached the limit, and she suddenly tripped over a rock under her feet, and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Grannie, who had been following her closely, reached out in time to help her. didn't let Her Royal Highness the princess embarrass herself.

Grannie, who usually walks around in armor that is not light, is much better than Alice's adaptability to this kind of weight-bearing running, but after running around West Keld City three times in armor, Grannie's physical strength is actually almost exhausted. However, Granny looked at Her Royal Highness Princess Alice, who was still gritting her teeth and running forward, and followed her without hesitation.

And seeing Alice and Grannie picking up their pace, Nancy and Sister Klena, as well as Vivien, picked up their pace together. And watching Her Royal Highness the Princess and her guards speed up again. The more than 50 boys and girls in the back, both men and women, also gritted their teeth and tried their best to catch up with them.

Although there are always people who fall to the ground from time to time, under the care of the priests on wildebeest horses, none of these people choose to give up, and they are all running hard, moving towards the end of the day.

That's right, the "Merlin" magician didn't tell them how far to run, just let them run with the young "instructors".

The unknown is always scary, but in the case of never knowing how far away from the end is, these teenagers and girls will still persevere, just because they have been confirmed as the crown prince, and Alice, who is about to ascend the throne, is still running ahead!

In fact, among the more than fifty people who ran with Alice, not all of them were the guards that the Mercenary King had chosen for her, and more than twenty were peers from aristocratic families in West Ward City who were close to the Mercenary King.

The "Merlin" magician wants to conduct special training for Her Royal Highness Princess Alice to meet the news of the upcoming God of War Festival, and the Mercenary King did not hide it. And the nobles who understood that everyone had actually been fooled by the mercenary king were not angry, after all, the wood was already in the boat, and now they could only wait to see how Alice, who had been determined to be the next king, performed at the God of War Festival.

After learning of the news of this so-called "special training", several aristocratic families close to the royal family of Gelaru sent their children to the special training location with the idea of giving it a try: the entrance to North West Elder Street. And after the mercenary king agreed. As a result, the nobles who were inclined to the royal family of Gelaru sent the children to the special training location, especially after the mercenary king sent Prince Julian and Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte over, and these nobles became even more enthusiastic.

After all, the mercenary king has been accumulating prestige for a long time, and there are actually many people who are optimistic about Alice.

The "Merlin" magician, who was in charge of the training, did not refuse to come, but only asked the participants to bring their own equipment, which of course was very easy to do.

But when the "Merlin" magician hired five strange young men to be his instructors. And after announcing the content of this morning's special training, the nobles who had been monitoring the movements here with various eyeliners or magic were all stunned: It's just a long-distance run, this is also special training?

However, after the training began, seeing Garon and the others running away with all their might, the nobles who were originally talking about it immediately shut their mouths: because even with the explosion of fighting spirit or the blessing of magic, Alice and the others were only able to catch up with Garon and the others!

You must know that compared to the descendants of the nobles who do not carry much weight and are not responsible, the weight on Garon and the others is the heaviest of all! Moreover, Garon and the others had neither the fluctuation of magic nor the brilliance of fighting spirit. It's all about running on your own physical strength.

Halfway through the first lap, children such as Princess Charlotte and Prince Julian were sent off to rest. Even with the help of vindictiveness and magic, such a weight-bearing run is still too difficult for these children.

And by the time the first lap was finished, there were originally more than 200 descendants of the nobles who had been brushed to the point that there were only more than 50 people left. These people are all roughly the same age as Alice and the others, and although their strength is uneven, they are all in the top level of strength.

By the time the second lap came down, the speed of Garon and the others had slowed down significantly. But Alice and the others had all exhausted their fighting energy and magic, and on the third lap they were running hard with perseverance.

By this time. The voices that had been mocking, sneering, or disdainful were gone. Not only the nobles, but even the members of the top ten mercenary groups, most of whom were from civilian backgrounds, were stunned when they looked at these fifty young people.

You know, it's a run around the city! Whether it is self-esteem, honor, or backbone that supports these people to run hard...... The young people who have been able to persevere until now have proven themselves.

"These people will eventually become great weapons!" An old duke said categorically. The nobles on the side all nodded in agreement. By now, everyone knew that the special training of this "Merlin" magician was indeed real, and such an almost endless long-distance run alone was terrifying enough.

A long-distance run with no end in sight can definitely screen out most of those who are not strong enough.

By the fourth lap, Alice and the others were running at a slower pace. However, when Garon and Hawke were chased away by the ice picks of the "Merlin" mage, Alice and the others still managed to speed up again.

However, when the desperate fifth lap began, there was finally a lack of support. The first girl to fall was a girl, the girl wearing the magic robe decisively used the short sword on her body to directly cut off the hem and sleeves of the magic robe in the second circle, making a good magic robe into a short skirt-like costume. Relying on such a costume and the assistance of basic qi magic, the girl has been supported until now, and finally fainted due to physical exhaustion.

The two parents, who had been watching, immediately rushed forward, but were stopped by the priests of the Temple of the God of War, who had been waiting for a long time. Without using divine magic, these priests directly pulled out a bottle of potion that exuded a strange aura. In order to reassure the two parents, a female priest carefully poured all the potions into the girl's mouth after making sure that they were safe and correct.

Even in a coma, under the influence of some mysterious force, the girl's face still changed several times when she subconsciously swallowed the potion, but by the time the priestess handed the girl into the hands of her parents, the girl's face looked much better.

"These potions are meant to be smeared." The priest of the god of war pulled out another potion bottle, and inside was some kind of viscous ointment. "When she wakes up, she will feel sore, and she will be able to apply this ointment all over her body. Remember, although there will be some pain, but you must apply it vigorously, otherwise she will only be able to use divine healing in the future, and her efforts today will be in vain. ”

The father in the aristocratic dress and the mother in the magic robe nodded again and again, and then the priestess hurried to help the other person who had passed out.

"You're well prepared." The father, whose face was full of weather, looked at the ointment in his hand and nodded, and then boarded his carriage with his wife and children.

By the end of the fifth lap, there were only five people left in the group of more than fifty people, and Vivien and Kleina were already halfway down, but Alice was still running ahead, and Nancy and Grannie were still following him. A little further away are Sost, the boy of Old Man Simon's family, and Michelle, the captain of the escort team that the mercenary king picked out for Alice.

Garon and the other five stood in a row on the street of North Street, completely ignoring the discussions and gazes of the people around them, staring closely at Alice who was running towards them, with some admiration in their eyes.

Don't look at Garon, they run easily, that's because they and Roger have often run with Roger over the years, and they have long been used to it.

But Alice, who came into contact with this kind of "weight-bearing marathon" for the first time, actually persevered, which made the friends very admired.

Alice slowly trotted in front of Garon and the others almost at the speed of "walking", and the crowd of onlookers around them immediately applauded. However, before Alice could breathe a sigh of relief, Elsa stepped forward directly and poured the potion in her hand directly into Alice's mouth.

"Wait...... Woo......" Alice lost consciousness before she could protest. Seeing that Alice successfully reached the end, Nancy and Grannie, who were lagging behind, were relieved and lost consciousness together.

In the end, only three people successfully passed the first day of training.

However, to Roger's surprise, such a "hell run" quickly became popular in the martial Free Federation, which indirectly made Alice already highly recognized by the residents of the Free Federation before inheriting the throne. (To be continued......)
