Chapter 10: Recruitment
The hot weather eventually turns cooler, and today's Liyue flag is still flying. With the gradual loss of time, every household signed up for the selection of soldiers, and the grand occasion of the city's carnival gradually came to an end.
According to the data released by the Millelith Army, the number of applicants this time exceeded 50,000, and among them, seven were owned by the Vision of God.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to Liyue residents, many foreigners living in Liyue also participated in the competition, and they also took a large share of the competition. For these foreigners, the Millelith Army did not have much prejudice.
In the huge central square, which can accommodate more than 100,000 people, people with different looks, either nervous or excited, stand in a phalanx, while on both sides of the road are guards wearing ancient rock-colored armor and holding millelith spears.
On the seat on the high platform, Keqing and Xia Worry, Shenhe looked at the dense black crowd below, and the joy in his eyes was overflowing.
"It's almost the Lantern Festival, why did Liyue Harbor suddenly recruit troops?" Xia Wei asked with some curiosity.
"I don't know, this is Ningguang's arrangement, maybe Yelan found out something." Keqing explained, looking at the crowd in the audience.
These are the reserve forces of the Millelith Army, and if they are selected, they can be transformed into an extremely considerable force at any time, further enriching Liyue's national power.
Behind Keqing were several Vision owners who were silently looking at each other.
Although the owner of the Vision did not have to participate in the first few rounds of tedious testing, several players still showed up.
In some ways, it's like a show-off mentality. In the previous life, there were many people who had already been guaranteed to take the exam, and there were also many people who came to experience the exams of ordinary people. It's called an experience, but anyone with a discerning eye can see what their purpose is.
But Xia Wei doesn't have this kind of bad taste. His gaze looked indistinctly under the high platform.
These Vision owners are extremely important. No matter how strong or weak each Vision is, they have special abilities that far surpass those of ordinary people. If nothing else, these seven may all grow into the backbone of the Millelith Army in the future.
"Where, where." A muscular, bare-haired, bare-haired bald man with a rough face and a vest grinned. The rest of the group chimed in.
At the same time, the off-the-field announcements also began to be synchronized. A middle-aged soldier cleared his throat and came to the front of the square, shouting loudly with a megaphone in hand. "This test is divided into three parts, and only those who pass all three can participate in the final test."
"The first one, the age test." "Persons under the age of eighteen and above the age of forty-five will not be admitted."
"This rule was specifically informed at the beginning of the selection, and I believe that everyone should not do anything to lie about their age."
"Now, the test begins." The soldier gave the order, and the crowd of black oppressors began to move.
Xia Wei frowned, and felt an inexplicable energy sweep through. For a while, many people's bodies lit up with a trace of white light.
Seeing this scene, a team of several soldiers left the field one after another, and set up the people who were mixed in and were lucky to be out of the field. Fortunately, these people are only a minority after all.
The crowd was confused for only a moment, and then calm again.
The middle-aged soldier in the front row waited again for a while, until he confirmed that the white light was no longer visible, and then spoke again.
"First of all, congratulations on passing the first level." "Secondly, I am disappointed that there are still people who dare to break the rules that have been repeatedly emphasized." "With the character of these people, even if they are lucky enough to pass the test, they will definitely not be able to pass the third assessment."
"Now, let's move on to the second test, the strength test." Directly in front of the square, a middle-aged soldier is explaining the rules of the strength test. Beside him, huge batches of wooden stakes were transported. “
The rule is simple: within two seconds, the person who breaks the stakes at the same time will move on to the next round of testing. ”
Testing resumes again. The crowd formed several long lines and walked towards the test site under the guidance of one soldier after another. Soon, however, discontent filled the square.
"It's so hard, these stakes are so hard that it takes nearly three seconds to destroy a single stake, let alone so many at the same time." "How can you destroy six wooden stakes in different locations in two seconds?"
"Well, it looks like I'm hopeless." "Which of the thousands of swords came up with this test, and why is the test of the Millelith Army so arbitrary?" In the center of the square, in front of a line, after being declared unqualified by the examiner, a man angrily dropped the long sword in his hand and cursed on his lips.
As soon as these words came out, many onlookers echoed them. Seeing that someone supported him, the man's eyes rolled restlessly, and he became a little bolder.
"Does this kind of test really make sense? In my opinion, even some Vision owners will not be able to pass this test. This obviously doesn't want us to pass the soldier test! ”
"It's not fair!"
"Yes, it's not fair!"
Many of the losers also supported the men's protests.
For a while, the crowd was indignant. On the high platform, Keqing stood up and noticed the commotion on the field. Beside her, a soldier reported to her the cause of the incident.
"I see." She nodded, in understanding. As the riots expanded, many ignorant people gathered together despite the resistance of the Millelith Army, and were led by men to the bottom of the high platform.
"Lord Keqing, there is no impartiality in this test, and the destruction of so many wooden stakes at the same time is simply impossible for ordinary people to complete." Surrounded by so many people, the man became more and more bold, and even questioned Keqing in person.
"Boy, be careful what you say."
Before Keqing could speak, behind her, the bald man who owned the Vision of the Rock God scolded loudly.
"I couldn't break even six wooden stakes, and instead of thinking about my own shortcomings, I began to question the person who asked the question. What is this theory? What a joke. ”
"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it." Hearing this, the man's face turned blue and white for a while, but he still stiffened his mouth and said, "I believe that your God Vision Owner has enough strength to be able to easily accomplish these things that ordinary people can't do. ”
"But if you don't use the Vision, I'm afraid it won't be much different from us."
"What do you want to say?" On the high platform, Keqing finally spoke. The man's face was secretly happy.
"Quite simply, if anyone behind you successfully passes this test without using their Vision, then we will admit that this test meets the standard difficulty.
Otherwise, please think about it again and set up a new assessment that meets the standards. ”
"What are you, why do you need your recognition..."The bald man wanted to speak, but Keqing waved his hand to stop him.
She stared into the man's eyes, as if she had seen through his thoughts. The man turned his head a little weakly, not daring to look directly at her. Just when the man was about to take it anymore, Keqing finally spoke.
"Yes." She nodded silently. "I can give you this opportunity, who of these people behind me do you want to make this demonstration?" The man looked at them silently, his gaze grazing over a few of them, who were either swollen or dressed in fancy clothes.
In the end, his gaze froze, and he found a very handsome teenager among several people. "Him!" “?” Xia was worried. Getting shot while lying down?
