After the supplies were removed, the empty square seemed unusually silent, except for the occasional wind, which rolled up the dust on the ground and danced silently in the air. The floor tiles of the square, due to the long-term pressure of heavy objects, have left traces of different shades, as if telling the hustle and bustle that has just happened.

Suddenly, the silence was shattered by footsteps in the distance. A group of soldiers walked in unison, their steps firm and powerful, like well-trained machines, each step falling to the same rhythm. Their military boots struck the ground with a dull and powerful echo that echoed over the empty square.

The figures of the soldiers gradually became clear, they were dressed in uniform and dark colors, which complemented the gray sky. There was no superfluous expression on their faces, only seriousness and concentration, as if they were carrying out a solemn and sacred task.

With the arrival of the soldiers, the atmosphere in the square became tense. The soldiers began to line up here, their movements were swift and orderly, everyone knew their position without any hesitation and confusion.

"First row, to the left - aligned!" An officer's voice rang out in the ranks, loud and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

The soldiers quickly adjusted their positions until each row was aligned, as if in a straight line. The air in the square seemed to be frozen in this solemn atmosphere, except for the slight breathing of the soldiers and the occasional sound of passwords.

Bai Ye stood aside, quietly watching all this. His eyes were deep and calm, as if he could see through the superficial calm and see something deeper. There was no expression on his face, just standing quietly, like a bystander, like a waiter.

The procession of the soldiers lasted for a long time, but Bai Ye didn't seem to feel any impatience. He just watched quietly, as if thinking about something, as if he was just enjoying the moment of tranquility.

Finally, the soldiers' procession was complete. They stood upright, like sculptures, standing quietly in the square. The officer walked up to the front of the group, nodded in satisfaction, and then said loudly: "Very good, now hold this position and wait for the next order." ”

The soldiers did not respond, but stood silently, as if they had become part of the square. Bai Ye also continued his watching, his eyes seemed to reveal an indescribable emotion, but it was deeply hidden.

The wind blew again, bringing with it a faint smell of dust in the distance. The soldiers in the square were motionless, as if they were one with the wind, the dust, and the square. White Night seems to be a part of this picture, and his presence seems to be closely related to all this, but it maintains a subtle distance.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and everything in the square became so clear and real. The soldiers' uniforms, the eyes of the white night, and even the smell of dust in the air were captured by this still time, frozen in this moment.

However, this stillness did not last long. A sudden commotion was heard in the distance, shattering the peace. Bai Ye frowned slightly, as if he was a little displeased by this sudden voice. He turned his head and looked in the direction where the voice had come from, his eyes revealing a mixed emotion.

The soldiers also seemed to notice this unusual movement, and although there was no obvious change in expression on their faces, there was a hint of vigilance in their eyes. The officer reacted quickly, raising his hand and making a gesture for the soldiers to remain vigilant.

The noise is getting closer, and the atmosphere in the square is getting more and more tense. Bai Ye stood silently, not making any movements, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the direction from which the voice came, as if looking for something.

Finally, a group of figures appeared at the entrance to the square. They also look like soldiers, but their attire and the soldiers in the line are different. Their arrival made the already tense atmosphere even more solemn.

The officer quickly stepped forward and began to talk to the new soldiers. Their voices were not loud, but they were distinctly clear in the empty square. Bai Ye listened quietly to their conversation, and his eyes revealed a thoughtful look.

After the conversation, the officer returned to the front of the line with a complicated expression on his face. He looked at the soldiers in front of him, then at the white night in the distance, and then said loudly, "Get ready for a new mission!" ”

Without any hesitation, the soldiers quickly moved and began to organize their equipment and formation. Bai Ye also retracted his thoughts, and he watched all this quietly, as if he was ready to meet the unknown.

With the arrival of the new mission, the atmosphere in the square changed again. Although there was still no expression on the faces of the soldiers, there was a kind of firmness and determination in their eyes. Bai Ye also seemed to feel this change, and his eyes revealed a deeper emotion.

The soldiers in the square began to move, their steps still firm and powerful, but with an added sense of urgency. White Night followed, his figure shuttling among the soldiers, as if he had become a part of the team.

With their departure, the square returned to calm. But this time, the calm was different from the silence before. It seems to carry a kind of anticipation and unknown, waiting for the next hustle and bustle. And Bai Ye also continued his journey, with that deep emotion, to the unknown distance.

"Now, divide into groups for martial arts training!"

The atmosphere in the square instantly became tense with Bai Ye's order. The soldiers' neatly arranged formations began to loosen, but their movements still maintained the rigor and speed of soldiers.

"You divide into two groups and do confrontation training." The voice of the white night was not high, but it was full of unquestionable majesty. He stood in a corner of the square, his hands behind his back, his gaze like a torch, sweeping the faces of every soldier.

The soldiers moved quickly and divided into two groups, each in tight formation, as instructed. There was excitement and anticipation in their eyes, as if they couldn't wait to start this training.

"Group 1, the attacking side; The second group, the defending side. Start preparing! White Night gave another command.

The soldiers quickly adjusted their state, and the soldiers of the attacking side clenched the wooden sticks in their hands and prepared to charge; The defenders' soldiers took on a defensive stance, ready for the oncoming attack.

"Let's go!" With an order from the white night, the attacking soldiers rushed towards the defenders like arrows off the string. Their movements were swift and powerful, each swing of the baton with the sound of the wind, as if it were about to tear the air apart.

Not to be outdone, the defenders nimbly dodged attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack. The sound of wooden sticks intersecting with sticks echoed through the square, accompanied by the heavy breathing and footsteps of the soldiers, forming a tense and intense picture.

Bai Ye watched this training quietly, and his eyes revealed a kind of depth and calmness. He did not give any instructions or evaluations, but silently observed the performance of the soldiers.

As time passed, the training gradually entered the white-hot phase. The attacking soldiers became more and more courageous, and their offensive became more and more fierce; The defenders' soldiers began to look a little overwhelmed, and their defenses gradually began to crack.

Just then, a defender's soldier suddenly seized an opportunity, and he slammed a counterattack, knocking the attacking soldier to the ground. This sudden change surprised everyone, and the atmosphere in the square instantly became tense.

Bai Ye frowned slightly, he looked at the soldier who fell to the ground, and then at the soldier who successfully counterattacked, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. He didn't speak, just stood quietly, as if thinking about something.

The soldier who fell to the ground quickly got up, patted the dust off his body, and then regained his footing. There was no expression on his face, as if the defeat had not affected him in any way.

And the soldier who successfully fought back did not show any smugness or pride, he just silently returned to his position and continued to prepare for the next round of training.

Bai Ye watched all this, and he seemed to have some decision in his heart. He walked up to the soldiers, took a deep breath, and said, "Good, you're all doing a good job." However, this is just the beginning. The next training is going to be tougher and you need to be prepared. ”

The soldiers did not speak, but responded to the white night with a determined look. They know that this training has only just begun, and the real challenge is yet to come.

With Bai Ye's order again, the soldiers once again threw themselves into intense and intense training. Their movements were more rapid, and their attacks were more violent, as if they were about to unleash all their power.

The atmosphere in the square became tense again, and only the sound of wooden sticks intersecting and the breathing of soldiers echoed. Bai Ye watched all this quietly, and his eyes revealed a kind of depth and firmness.

This training lasted for a long time, until the soldiers were exhausted. However, none of them gave up, and each one of them persevered to the end.

When the last soldier fell, Bai Ye finally spoke: "Very good, you guys are doing a good job. That's all for today, go back and get some rest, there are even tougher training ahead tomorrow. ”

The soldiers did not respond, just silently packed their things and left in a neat formation. Their backs look particularly firm and resolute in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Bai Ye looked at the backs of the soldiers leaving, and he seemed to have some expectations in his heart. He knew that these soldiers already had the potential to become true warriors, and they only needed more training and sharpening to be able to become a sword in his hands.

The afterglow shone over the empty square, stretching the tired figures of the soldiers into a long stretch. Their faces were covered with sweat and dust, and there was a heavy wheezing sound between their breaths. After a long period of training, their physical strength has been exhausted, but their eyes still reveal a kind of determination and unyielding.

Bai Ye stood aside, quietly observing all this. His gaze was deep and complex, as if he was thinking about something. He looked at the tired and resolute faces of the soldiers, and he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

"Go, get some water and food." Bai Ye suddenly spoke, and although his voice was not loud, it was full of unquestionable majesty.

One of his attendants quickly responded, and after a while, he came over with a few men carrying buckets of water and large baskets of food. They put things on one side of the square, and then stood quietly aside, waiting for the next instructions from White Night.

White Night walked up to the soldiers, his gaze swept over each of their faces, and finally rested on the most tired-looking soldiers.

"You've all worked hard." Bai Ye's voice softened a lot, "Now, let go of your burdens, go drink some water, eat something, and rest well." ”

When the soldiers heard this, their faces showed a rare expression of relaxation. They all laid down their weapons and walked towards the food and water. Some people can't wait to grab buckets and gulp water, while others pick up food and devour it. Although their movements are rude, they are full of truth and vividness.

Bai Ye watched this scene, and couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. He knew that although these soldiers were tired, their will was still strong, and their spirit was still full.

"Don't rush, eat slowly, drink slowly." Bai Ye walked up to a soldier who was drinking water and said softly, "I have seen your efforts, remember, rest is to fight better." ”

The soldier looked up at the white night, a flash of gratitude in his eyes. He nodded, then continued to drink quietly.

Over time, the soldiers gradually regained their strength. Although their faces were still tired, there was already a glimmer of brilliance in their eyes. They began to get together, talking in low voices, sharing each other's feelings and experiences.

Bai Ye stood quietly to the side, listening to their conversation. Their voices were low, but they were full of strength and tenacity. He knew that these soldiers were no longer just a group of people, they had formed a united and powerful whole.

"Okay, let's continue training when everyone has rested enough." Bai Ye suddenly raised his voice, "Our goal has not been achieved yet, and we can't let up here." ”

When the soldiers heard this, they stopped talking and got up again. Although there was no dissatisfaction or complaint on their faces, there was a hint of determination and determination in their eyes.

Bai Ye couldn't help but feel relieved as he watched their changes. He knew that these soldiers had truly understood his intentions, and they had begun to know how to temper and improve themselves in the arduous training.

As night fell, the lights in the square began to light up. The soldiers sat around the fire, enjoying a rare peace and warmth. White Night also sat among them, sharing this rare time of rest with them.

"My lord, when will we be able to go to war?" One of the soldiers asked suddenly.

Bai Ye glanced at him, and then said lightly: "When the time comes, I will naturally let you go to the battlefield." Now, all you need to do is train well and improve your strength. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they nodded yes.
