Chapter 62: The Challenge

Along the way, Fan Yeyue rode the abnormal wind and blood horse king in the lead, and behind him, there were fifty blood cavalry riding the wind and blood horse, each blood cavalry was followed by a squadron of 100 recruits, the recruits were not colorful, in this solemn day, the recruits consciously put on black or red clothes, plus they had trained the military queue in the school, so although their team was not very neat, it could be regarded as high-spirited.

The recruit camp was not very far, just thirty miles from the southern gate of Qingyu City, and at the speed of Lynn and them, it was only an hour to arrive.

The camp was a simple group of military tents, and a simple fence was set up outside the tent group, all made of freshly cut wood, and many of the fences were covered with verdant foliage.

Five thousand tents were neatly arranged in a large rectangle, each of which was a standard tent for a team of ten people.

Although the facilities were simple, the recruits were very enthusiastic, pointing at the recruit camp with great interest, and discussing with the people next to them, and for a while, the noise filled the open space.

Fan Yeyue let the recruits make a fuss for a while, and after about a quarter of an hour, she gave her an order: "Everyone has it, hand over your personal details to the military officer, and then, each of them go to choose a tent, and after that, line up in the open space." You only have a quarter of an hour, and now, you are considered a new recruit of the Empire, and you know the military law of the Empire! Quick, get moving! Hurry, hurry!"

With Fan Yeyue's order, the recruits immediately scattered, and hurriedly ran to the military officer at the gate of the recruit camp to hand in their personal details, and then went to choose their own tents in a chaotic manner.

"It's really energetic, young people are good, but when they get to the real recruit training camp in Demon Slayer City, they won't be so energetic! Hehe!" Fan Yeyue said with a smile to a blood cavalryman beside her, her face was also full of beautiful vitality like sunshine, but in her tone, she was old-fashioned, and she completely forgot that she was only an eighteen-year-old girl.

The Blood Cavalry smiled wickedly and said, "Your Excellency is right, we will definitely train these boys well at that time, and let them know what a devilish purgatory is!

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and the recruits who had undergone preliminary military training in the academy still had a good sense of time, and when the time came, they all stood in the open space in front of the camp in a neat line, although they were not very neatly lined up in the marching procession, but they were meticulously arranged in this static queue, and even the most demanding instructors could not find fault with it.

Fan Yeyue jumped off the war horse, put her hands behind her back, and formed a straddle posture, although her height was only one meter seven, but when facing the group of recruits in front of her, who were generally one meter eight, her figure seemed to be even taller, which was determined by strength. Coupled with the two rows of blood cavalry behind Fan Yeyue who grinned, revealing snow-white teeth like a big bad wolf seeing a little white rabbit, the recruits didn't dare to say a word in the face of Fan Yeyue, and they all looked ahead honestly and held their heads high.

"Hello everyone, let me introduce myself again, I am Fan Yeyue, the deputy chief instructor of the recruit training camp in the Southern Theater of the Empire, and the general person in charge of this recruitment, my military rank is colonel, you must call my military rank when you answer, do you understand?" Fan Yeyue introduced herself again, and at the same time showed her military rank, and on the leather armor on her left chest, three majestic golden lion patterns were inscribed.

"Yes, Colonel!" replied in unison the five thousand recruits, the sound of which shook through the sky.

"Okay, very good, now, start to receive your weapons and equipment, these are all bronze-level equipment, much better than the black iron tools made of stainless steel that you came into contact with in the academy. Of course, if you have better weapons and equipment yourself, you can equip them yourself, just report it to the quartermaster. Now, according to the squad, let's get started!" With Fan Yeyue's words, on the side, there were quartermasters who put out piles of swords, armor, shields and other weapons and equipment, all of which flashed with a faint pale cyan light, obviously it was indeed bronze-level equipment, although it was only a low-level bronze, but compared to stainless steel weapons, it was much better.

These pieces of equipment are inscribed with flame symbols, indicating that they belong to the Yanlong Army.

Lynn also smiled and stepped forward with everyone to receive the equipment, although he had fifty sets of superb gold weapons worth ten thousand gold and strong defensive and lethal power, but, he had not yet gone to the front line, so naturally there was no need to take it out, and the bronze-level recruit equipment was enough. What's more, if I take out the gold weapon at this moment, wouldn't it be clear that I am very rich? This is not conducive to establishing a relationship with the soldiers, most of these recruits are civilian children, although Lynn is famous, they will not be jealous, but they will also subconsciously alienate Lynn in the bottom of their hearts, which is not in line with their own plans!

As usual, Lynn chose his favorite horse sword, a heavy sword with a length of one meter and five meters, weighing two hundred catties, and a wide handshake, all of which made Lynn feel very good, he liked the feeling of slapping the monster with the heavy weight of the war horse sword, this is the weapon used by the masters!

The armor is the same full-body heavy armor, including the helmet, weighing up to 100 catties, which is really not a burden for the recruits whose strength is generally low-level bronze knights.

Then there is the shield, Lynn's choice is naturally the tower shield, the tall tower shield can protect his whole person as long as Lynn is a group, which is really the best choice. The tower shield weighs 300 catties.

In total, the total amount of things on Lynn's body is only 600 catties, which is not the same as no weight for Lynn, who has more than 10,000 catties of power! Therefore, Lynn walked back to the queue very leisurely.

After simply choosing the equipment, Lynn began to observe the choices of his other brothers, next to him was the guy Hall, he still chose two large plate axes that focused on attack, these big plate axes alone weighed five hundred pounds, and two were thousands of pounds, but Hall danced the two big plate axes vigorously, as if they were not heavy plate axes, but two toothpicks. Hall has always believed in the saying "offense is the best defense."

Lin Xiaofeng's nine people chose a short sword of one meter two, and the eighteen brothers of the Lai family followed Lynn's choice, a combination of horse slashing sword and tower shield, and the same was true for Feng Wu and others.

After a mess for a while, the five thousand recruits all chose their own weapons and re-lined up, which didn't look so neat, because they had all kinds of weapons except for the armor, but Lynn also learned that the army in this world only needs soldiers who can kill the enemy, not those good-looking face projects, so they will let the soldiers choose the most suitable weapons for themselves, not for the sake of good looks, it is necessary to stipulate who is a pikeman and who is an archer.

"Good, you've all picked the right weapon for you. Now, let's have some passionate fighting! You have no objection to the fifty squadron leaders, but the position of the ten-person squad leader has not yet been determined! No matter what background and qualifications you have in the army, as long as your fist is big enough, you are the uncle, so now, the ten-person squad is elected by yourself, and the team members can challenge the squad leader, and the winner will be the new squad leader! What are you waiting for, let's fight! Except that you can't be killed or maimed, you can do whatever you want! Haha!" Fan Yeyue's words immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the recruits, who doesn't want to be the squad leader? Although he is only a squad leader, he is also an officer, so everyone is ready to prepare.

In a group of ten people, these recruits who are usually good brothers began to fight against each other, surrounded by colleagues who were constantly cheering and cheering, for a while, in the open space in front of the recruit camp, sparks splashed, the recruits fought in full swing, extremely fierce, from time to time there were unlucky people who broke a few ribs and let out a scream, and there were also victors who laughed arrogantly.

Lin En and other fifty squadron leaders stood on the sidelines and watched the battle idly, and Lin Xiaofeng also instructed the recruits on the side from time to time to use monkeys to steal peaches and other shady tricks, which made the recruits even more red-eyed and thick-necked.

At this moment, Fan Yeyue came to Lynn with long legs and small steps, and challenged Lynn: "Captain Lynn, I want to learn from you, I don't know what you think?"

Lynn, who had already felt the fighting intent in Fan Yeyue's heart, had no surprised expression, his good-looking eyebrows stretched slightly, and he was about to agree to Fan Yeyue's challenge, but a person suddenly ran out in front of him, but it was Hall who saw the person he liked coming over, and hurriedly ran over to express himself.

"Hey, Lord Colonel, if you want to fight my eldest brother, you have to pass my level first!" Hall was fearless with two plate axes, staring at Fan Yeyue with great vigour.

Fan Yeyue, who had a bold personality, did not doubt him, shook her head and said: "Squadron Leader Hall, you are not my opponent, but if you have commendable courage, I will accompany you through the move!" After speaking, Fan Yeyue stepped aside, picked up a one-meter-long short sword with one hand, and looked at Hall with a smile.

Lynn sighed secretly, sure enough, it's not just the woman who falls in love who has no brains, even the man is the same, although Hall is just unrequited love, but in order to show himself in front of Fan Yeyue, he still rushed up with a hot brain to find abuse!
