19: Ethos

Handini was the first to take the lead in running, he himself had more than ten years of experience and physique as a soldier, although he was wearing armor, but he was still confident that he could run the five kilometers, but those recruits, he didn't believe it very much.

The other recruits watched as the captain began to run, and they looked at each other a few times, but the footsteps still followed, keeping up with the captain's pace.

Aslan looked at the team that was gradually running away, and he also knew in his heart that this five kilometers was too difficult for a group of recruits, and he was also wearing armor, although it was only light armor, there were more than ten catties, but fortunately, the shield was mainly covered with a layer of iron sheet one centimeter thick with a wooden board, but it was also ten catties, plus a long sword, and it would be at least thirty catties for a piece of equipment, which was almost the same as the ordinary equipment of the earth soldiers.

Aslan said to the people who were helping, "Go and prepare some water and towels, and if someone is tired, you can quickly help them to a cool place!"

After receiving the instructions, several people went to prepare things.

Aslan thought to himself, this is the beginning of training, he has to train an army that can face any enemy in ten days, otherwise it will be dangerous, if the force summoned is not friendly, even the soldiers will definitely be killed in the flying city.

Andre was one of the recruits, and he had come to serve for the ten silver coins. But today's first training session made him a little distracted.

Standing in the military posture in the morning, if he hadn't said to the city lord, he would have fallen to the ground from exhaustion, but later he was still very satisfied when he saw the envious eyes of his companions who did not persist when they ate lunch.

But the afternoon training was a bit too torturous, and running another five kilometers with a piece of equipment was simply exhausting.

But when he thought of the naked reward, the silver coin seemed to be constantly swaying in front of his eyes.

"Smack!"

AndrΓ© no longer knew that this was the first person to fall and give up, and watched them sit on the ground, gasping for breath, with a kind of unwillingness in his eyes.

At this time, he also wanted to sit on the ground and take a good rest, but a voice in his heart seemed to be constantly urging him, the feeling of not admitting defeat.

Looking at Captain Handini running in front of him, he still looked light-hearted, no wonder he was able to be appointed as the captain of the Flying Army by the city lord at such a young age.

He didn't know how long he had been running, and in his senses, it felt as if he had been running all day. It was as if my feet had been filled with stone slurry, and they became very heavy.

Whew!

Andrea's eyes began to get a little foggy. He seemed to see that the city lord was not far in front, and slowly the figure of the city lord became the figure of Estin in the house next door, she was the object of his admiration since childhood, but the other party's family proposed a dowry of at least fifty silver coins, fifty silver coins, even if their family did not eat or drink, when would they have to wait until the little money they saved from farming.

But after seeing the recruitment order issued by the city lord, he saw hope, ten silver coins a month, as long as he likes it for a few months, he can marry Estin at that time, it will be no problem.

"It's here!"

I don't know how long I ran, but I vaguely saw Handini in front of him stop his pace and shouted to the recruits behind him.

It's been great, Andre's feet seemed to have lost their support, and he sat down on the ground, and he swore that no one would try to pull him up now, even if God came, it would be useless.

Aslan looked at the recruits who had completed the five-kilometer run, only Handini was still leaning against the big tree next to him, panting constantly, and the others fell to the ground.

He counted it, and only about twenty-eight people made it to the end, and the others couldn't hold on halfway.

He said to Handini: "Go and write down the names of the people who have completed the five kilometers, and then you order the team to rest for twenty minutes free, and the water is ready there." Gather later. ”

"Yes!" Handini received the order, and turned to those who had fallen to the ground, and those who had not held out halfway, and who had been helped over, and ordered: "All of them! Rest for twenty minutes, and if you want to drink water, there will be them, and when you hear the order to assemble, gather at once." ”

Twenty minutes was up quickly.

Aslan came to the front of the assembled group, and at this time he had a cloth bag in his hand.

"You've let me down a bit! More than a hundred people, only twenty-eight have completed the five kilometers, you know, if this is a war, you will win and chase the enemy, or if you lose and prepare to flee. Those who run fast can get more credit and more chances to save their lives. And what about the rest? I think you all know. ”

There was silence in the ranks.

Aslan continued: "Okay, today is the first training session, and I don't want to talk too much. Now I'm going to deliver on my promise. ”

In an instant, the eyes of the team shone a lot.

Aslan said to Handini: "Captain Handini, you come first, you have run five kilometers." As he spoke, he took a silver coin from the sack and handed it to Handini.

Handini walked up to the Lord of the City and took the silver coin, he didn't expect that he would also be rewarded.

"Captain Handini, now you call the names of the people who have completed the five kilometers before in turn, and the ones who have given their names will come to me to receive the reward. ”

"Yes!"

"Mumu!"

"Here!"

A young man excitedly walked out of the line and walked in front of Aslan.

Aslan smiled: "Very good, this is what you won, I hope you can work harder when you train in the future." He held a silver coin in his hand and handed it to the man named Mumu.

Mu Mu excitedly took the silver coin and said, "Thank you, Lord City! Thank you, Lord City Lord!." ”

With that, he returned to the group.

"Joyce!"

"Here!"

"Deidara!"

"Here!"

.........

"Andrey!"

"Here!"

Finally hearing his name, Andre swallowed, walked up to the city lord, took the silver coin, returned to the team, and looked at the silver coin in his hand.

He squeezed himself so hard that he felt like he was in a dream.

He never thought that such a silver coin would be so easy to get.

Feeling the envious gaze around him, he put the silver coin back in his pocket and straightened up.

Soon, all twenty-eight silver coins were distributed.

Aslan looked at more than a hundred recruits with excitement and excitement in his eyes, and some were secretly unwilling and regretful.

"Alright. The previous training was just to understand your physical strength and foundation, and I will teach you a few things next. ”

Aslan began to teach these recruits some of his previous lives, the rest of military training, standing upright, straddling, marching and standing, stopping and turning, squatting and standing, sitting down and standing, taking off his hat and hat, saluting and saluting.

Originally, Aslan wanted to remove the last hat and hat, salute and salute, but he thought that the soldiers he wanted were not only elite and good at fighting, but also had to be groomed and deceitful, after all, this also represented the atmosphere of a force.
