Chapter VI: Unexpected Threats

Aclair was quickly awakened by a young man sitting across from him.

Aklee was embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I may have been thinking too much lately and I'm a little tired. ”

"It's nothing, I'm often sleepy, it's spring now, and I don't know when I sleep in spring. Meet me, my name is Xiao Chen. The man got straight to the point and said, "Don't overcomplicate your loyalty test. We're just asking some questions and seeing what you think. You just have to answer according to your own truth. ”

Since talking to Jenny and confirming his belief in serving the Chinese, Aclay felt that there was no ghost in his heart, and he said generously: "Please ask." I have nothing to hide. ”

"Good. Xiao Chen asked some questions about his family background, and then suddenly turned to the part about his father's death, "Do you have hatred for us? After all, your family has died at the hands of our army, I have to remind you, now that there is a magic that detects lies in effect, you better say what you really think in your heart." ”

"There have been some, but not very strongly. Someone told me the other day that the vocation of the nobility is war, and by extension, the warriors naturally have a clear understanding of the outcome of the war. War is brutal, and it is possible for all to die in it, but this death is not a personal vendetta.

You must know that the nobles of the kingdom now, pushing up a thousand or two thousand years, are almost constantly changing sides, fighting each other, but at the same time marrying each other, becoming all kinds of allies, if each family remembers the grudges of the past, then we will fight forever. ”

"But this time, after all, it was something that had just happened, and the one who killed your father was among us. Xiao Chen said.

"If it was because of a personal matter, he killed my father, I would definitely take revenge. But in the war, it was not his will that led to this result, so to speak, the will of the Tower of China. Since you're monitoring my emotions, you can know I'm telling the truth. ”

"Well, that's good. Xiao Chen then turned the topic to other aspects, some talking about his past life, some talking about his reform in prison, and asking about his views on the governance of Chinese territories.

"I have a feeling that you treat people differently, and that you have more respect for them, which is just a superficial thing. In fact, you want them to be useful people like blacksmiths, bakers, veterinarians, and seasoned farmers.

Then let the craftsmen of these technologies create a better life for you. This is of course a great thing, but the key is to have money, it takes money to build a school, it takes money to hire teachers, and if other lords have as much money as you, they can do it too. ”

Xiao Chen nodded noncommittally and said, "Then today's test is over." You go back and wait for the notification. ”

Aclay was taken out of the room, and after a while his companions who had come with him for the test came out of the room.

Most of them seemed to look relaxed, and Aclair exchanged a few words with them, as if everyone was being asked the same question. However, it was also said that they were repeatedly asked several times on some questions, and Aclair guessed that it was the lie detector magic that worked, and that these guys must have said something against their will to make this happen.

They were quickly taken back to the camp, and after a few more days, Aclay finally waited for the notice. Five of the people they went with passed the examination, while the rest did not pass and went on to return to the labor camp to serve their sentences.

Luckily enough to be one of the vetted ones, Aclay was assigned to boot camp to begin a three-month recruit training.

Despite the fact that he is a mid-level fighter with rich combat experience. However, he still did not understand the tactics used by the Chinese. In order to integrate his forces into the system of the Guardian Army and play its due role, he still needs to learn a lot of things. From the lowest level of queue and discipline, to the use of pneumatic guns, as well as various tactical moves, squad tactics, and more.

The training camp is also on the outskirts of Riverbend New Town. At the end of each day's training, Aclay was able to walk around the camp. The camp is large and lush near the edges.

One day, at the end of training, he was walking along the path in the woods when an arrow came at him. Aclair didn't dodge, because he knew that the arrow was not aimed at him, but fell a meter in front of him, and he looked closely at the note tied to it.

Aklee looked in the direction where the arrow was fired, it should have been outside the camp, there seemed to be a dark shadow flashing, but it was definitely too late for him to chase the figure over the wall now.

He picked up the arrow and carefully unfolded the note, only to see that it read:

If you are willing to do intelligence trading, come here at this time tomorrow, and any intelligence about the Chinese and the Chinese army can be exchanged for various rewards. To show our sincerity, the arrow of this arrow will be a gift for you.

- The Archer in Black

Aclair looked at it and suddenly realized that the arrows of this arrow were a little heavy. He looked closely, and the arrow was actually a talisman engraved with a magic pattern.

Although he didn't know exactly what this magic pattern meant, and he didn't know what the purpose of this talisman was, any such magic item was extremely valuable.

Aclay understands that such a reward is definitely not something that ordinary small forces can give.

According to Aklew's previous temperament, he would definitely meet with that person alone the next day, find a way to find out his details, and even arrest him on the spot. But now that he is in a position, he has become much more cautious, and his first instinct is to report the matter to his superior, the officer in charge of training.

However, the next day, when he and a small team of the Guards were ambushing the position, preparing to capture the "black-clad archer", he found that no one had come as promised.

The team lay in ambush for two days, but neither caught anyone nor received any new leads.

It was as if it had passed completely, until a week later, in another part of the camp, another arrow was fired at him. This time, instead of shooting at the ground in front of him, the arrow was fired at himself, and the arrow was replaced by a sharp metal arrowhead.

Aclay avoided the arrow, and found that the scroll of paper carried on the arrow read:

You disappointed us, so we decided to change the way we work with you, now, your brother Julio in Greenwood City is already under our control, come here tomorrow and meet me with the intelligence of the Chinese air gun, otherwise you will receive your brother's head in a few days.
