Chapter 40: Unquestionable Faith

The next training session was a weight-bearing cross-country pull, which was still in the forest, but luckily the rain stopped on the morning of the third day, and none of them got sick. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It may sound unreasonable that the weight of the weight has increased from 10 pounds at the beginning to 100 pounds at the beginning, and the weight has increased by 10 pounds every day. But incredibly, only five of the 100 recruits did not make it to the end and fell halfway.

And what awaits them will be the ranks of the expelled mercenaries.

After ten days of physical training, it was as if the recruits were a different person. Their eyes were full of determination, and the elevated chests were a testament to their self-confidence.

Captain George's eyes swept over everyone, still so sharp, "I'm glad you've completed your physical training, but it's a little naΓ―ve to think that this will be done." ”

After hearing this, everyone had a faint bad premonition, and their straight chests also converged a little.

"The next thing is the assessment of you in the past ten days, if you can't pass... You have to get out of here. ”

The expressions of the crowd couldn't help but become nervous, and there was a low voice of discussion in the ranks.

Instead of stopping them, the captain continued, "Based on your performance, I have concluded that a third of you will be eliminated. ”

The discussion in the team immediately stopped, and many people couldn't help but get nervous, especially those who had been barely following the team, their faces became extremely ugly.

If eliminated, it would almost be the same as a death sentence, waiting for them to be thieves, robbers, and then hanged in the middle of the square. Or they may become beggars or even slaves, and their families may be in the same situation. They could not understand how the selection of mercenaries could be so strict.

Soon someone raised dissatisfaction, "We are fighting with our lives, why don't we give us a chance!"

This sentence seems to speak the hearts of many people and has been echoed by many people.

"Fight with your life?" the captain sneered, "how ridiculous that sounds!"

The disgruntled recruits responded to Captain George's ridicule with angry looks.

"You think it's a big deal, do you?" Captain George's face suddenly turned cold, "Wrong! On the battlefield, your mistakes, injuries, and even death can affect your teammates and even the entire team. ... You're not fighting with your own lives, you're fighting with the lives of everyone in the team. ”

When the words fell, there was silence in the team, and the recruits who had expressed their dissatisfaction just now were speechless by this sentence.

Captain George has also said before that mercenaries are not bounty hunters, and in order to make up for the gap in strength, in most cases they fight in a group form, and each mission is at least a team of twenty people.

Payne thought to himself that if a third of them couldn't be reassuring, that would be a terrible thing to do.

"Do you need me to explain?" said George, "I don't think you should complain, on the contrary, you should be happy...... If it were other mercenary battalions, maybe it wouldn't be so strict, and maybe there wouldn't be this damn training camp. But since you have chosen this place, you have chosen the Eighth Mercenary Battalion in the South,...... With George, that never happens. ”

Many people in the team were suspicious, and Nash was one of them. He didn't know this before he came here, and he wondered if he could join the other mercenary battalions if he was eliminated here.

There are not a few people who think the same way as Nash, and most of them are concentrated in one-third of the people.

"If you are eliminated in this assessment, I will give you a recommendation based on your performance," George's expression softened a little, "With this recommendation, you can become a mercenary in other mercenary battalions,...... But only if you don't let me down. ”

"Long live the captain!" immediately shouted from the group. In fact, most of them come here to fill their stomachs, whether they will affect their teammates, or will they be affected by their teammates,...... None of this matters, at least not so far.

The contents of the assessment were soon announced, and three striking yellow flags were erected halfway up the mountainside of Thorn Mountain, where they would pass every day for the past ten days, so there was almost no such thing as not being able to find a place.

And all they had to do was carry 120 pounds, take a token from each of the yellow flags, and return here before the hourglass ran out.

Payne picked up a backpack with iron sand and added twenty pounds of weight at once, making him feel a little uncomfortable, but it was just not very comfortable.

After everyone had carried their backpacks, Captain George personally tied two thin wires to everyone's backpacks, and if they wanted to remove the backpacks halfway, they would have broken off, and there was no second possibility. After returning, the backpack will be re-weighed, of course, for the sake of fairness.

When everything is ready, the assessment begins.

The hundred-dozen people set off at the same time, and several recruits who had performed well in the past ten days quickly rushed to the front of the group, and it was not difficult for them to complete the assessment, but Captain George just said that the top three who returned would be rewarded.

None of them knew what the reward was, but the Captain's eyes told them that the reward was not going to let them down.

Payne was also confident about the test, but he didn't rush to the front of the line, and he was now a little worried about Roy. This fat man was at the end of the line almost every day for the past ten days, and he was very skeptical that the other party could pass the assessment.

"Roy, you can do it, for Connie. Payne encouraged.

Roy smiled, "Don't worry, I have faith in myself." ”

Payne saw that the other party was a little uneven in breathing and exhaling at the beginning, and he really sweated for the other party in his heart. He wondered if he should do something about it. Cheating or something is definitely not good, and the only thing that can help Roy is to keep urging the other party in his ear.

Roy had already guessed what the other party was thinking when he saw that Payne had been following him at the back of the line.

"Payne," Roy said, looking into the other man's eyes, "you should go for the top three rewards instead of spending all your energy on me, trust me, my name won't be on the elimination list, I swear by Miss Connie." ”

Well, I swore to the gods before, Payne thought helplessly. But Roy's unquestioning look told him that it was an unquestionable conviction!
