Chapter 6 Welcome to the King (Part 2)

The next day, the first morning exercise for the new recruits after joining the army.

The soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Second Regiment, led by the squad leader, lined up on the playground waiting for the arrival of Cons.

On the playground of the wing, only the fifth team lined up. Since the other teams had not yet selected the team leader, although they arrived at the playground under the guidance of the veteran, they all gathered together in groups of three or three to bask in the sun.

Cons did not ask his subordinates to wait for long. Almost as soon as the fifth team lined up, he appeared. Cons did not speak, but just glanced at the soldiers, turned around silently and ran out of the camp gate.

The 100 soldiers and ten squadron leaders were stunned, but the squadron leader, who was still familiar with Cons' personality, was clever and immediately led people to run out.

Leading by Cons, the entire team started running around the huge barracks that could accommodate the entire Ninth Legion.

During the running, the soldiers saw morning exercises in other regiments. Either without officers, they allowed the soldiers to move freely, or all the soldiers stood there, the officers yawned, or all the soldiers were practicing martial arts with sweat on their heads, while the officers were enjoying breakfast comfortably.

Seeing these, looking at the back running at the front of the team, the soldiers had different thoughts in their minds.

When the entire brigade ran for several kilometers and returned to the playground, they were breathless and looked at Cons in admiration.

This look caused their chins to fall off.

Just gasping slightly and running first, Cons untied his hands and feet and the heavy sandbags tied to his body.

Looking at the sandbags weighing at least dozens of kilograms on the ground, everyone's eyes showed a look of conscience.

After the first morning exercise, the Fifth Brigade began to practice martial arts with a brand new sword and iron spear with Cons.

When the veterans saw these intact metal weapons, they were ecstatic and envious of the new recruits' good luck. They even lamented that when the legion was so generous? Because when they were a new recruit, they had never touched a good weapon.

Only Cons realized that this might be related to the king's visit to the front line to express condolences.

After finally finishing the morning exercise, we had a disbandment and had dinner. At this time, both the veterans and the new recruits were starved. As soon as they entered the soldier's canteen, a veteran complained for a year: "Are you wrong? If you continue like this, you will die before you even go to the battlefield! It's so exhausting..." But before he finished speaking, he was frightened by the scars all over the new recruits from other brigades in front of him.

Seeing this, I was a little grateful that I joined the Fifth Battalion. If I were in other brigades, I would be very sad.

While having a meal, a sharp-eyed recruit whispered: "Captain Cons!"

The veteran of the year couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Don't be stupid. The captain and the captain both eat in the officers' cafeteria. The food there is very different from ours!" He said that, knocking on the rice bowl.

When the two squadron leaders heard this, they looked at the food in the bowl and shook their heads slightly. They were not qualified to go to the officers' cafeteria for dinner at the moment.

"Really! Look!"

Seeing the new recruits, the veteran of one year turned around while saying: "You must have read the wrong person..." When he said this, he immediately shut up because Cons was indeed having dinner not far away.

At this time, the two recruits who originally wanted to flatter Cons to help him wash clothes told me what happened last night.

Hearing this, he remembered the way Cons ran at the front with dozens of kilograms of sandbags tied up, the actions of other officers from his brigade, and then looked at Cons's back as he was eating the soldiers' meals silently. The fifth brigade of soldiers present were all eating the food.

During the morning exercise the next day, the soldiers of the Fifth Brigade, the squadron leader, and the squadron leader tied up sandbags and waited for their squadron leader.

The team leaders were not prepared at the beginning. When they saw that the people in their team were preparing sandbags, they asked a little and tied them up.

Although Cons did not order the soldiers to do this, the soldiers were consciously tied up, and Cons would not pursue this.

Because the soldiers understand that if they want to increase the chance of surviving on the battlefield, then having a strong body is the best way, at least it is easier to escape at the lowest level.

Unlike the many brigades in the entire Ninth Legion, other teams could hear the captain's swearing and whipping from afar, while the soldiers of the Fifth Brigade just followed the captain silently and ran behind the captain.

Cons did not beat and scold the left-behind recruits. The squadron leader was not qualified, and the squadron leader did not have the leisure time because they needed to follow Cons closely. Besides, the fallen recruits would immediately follow after resting and there was no need to scold them.

No one else noticed this strange phenomenon except for the people from the Fifth Team.

Cons took the people from the Fifth Team to run, practice martial arts, eat, practice martial arts, eat, and sleep, and spent more than a month in sequence. Because Cons didn't speak much, the people from the Fifth Team, including those small team leaders, did not speak much, so they were nicknamed the Silent Team.

Of course, Cons still went to the orphanage to donate it every month after receiving military pay.

The day of paying wages became the day he had left the military camp for three years.

Suddenly one day, the wing quarantine officer asked Cons to send someone to get back a batch of supplies, which allowed everyone to have a brand new set of handsome military uniforms and a pair of long leather boots.

When I saw these military uniforms and boots that were obviously not suitable for combat, I found out after inquiring that this was a regular dress suit that only the regular army of Qihongguo had.

At this time, anyone understood that it was related to the king's patrol, because veterans such as Cons had been in the army for so long and had never worn the regular dress suits of the regular army of the Qihong Kingdom.

However, this dress was asked by the superiors and was not allowed to wear it without orders, which made the soldiers hiding in the barracks and secretly enjoy it.

In addition to this beautiful regular dress, the team leader also had a set of leather armor. The squadron leader had a set of leather armor with a round iron piece inlaid on his chest and vest, while the team leader had a set of light metal armor. There was no restriction on these equipment.

However, Cons did not wear armor like other officers, and then swayed around in a corner of the room.

The day after receiving the supplies, the commander of the Legion commander was conveyed to all the corps of the entire army: "The king is about to arrive, and the entire army will immediately wear regular dresses and line up to greet them!"

The Ninth Legion lined out from the barracks gate, and the line was lined up to the prairie outside the primeval forest. It was fine for those who stayed in the primeval forest, but the people on the grassland did not welcome the king's team after enjoying more than an hour of sunbathing.

Cons was wearing armor and his subordinates, standing in the middle of the opposite column. He originally didn't want to wear armor, but all the officers were wearing armor. Wouldn't it be too artificial if they didn't wear it alone?

At this time, the regular dress on everyone's body had long been soaked in sweat as if it had just been fished out of the water. The commanders wearing metal armor were even more miserable. The metal armor was so hot that it could definitely be fried eggs. The team leader's leather armor was soaked in sweat and sunlight, and I believe that the soldiers would not envy the officers' equipment now.

Although Cons was also uncomfortable to be hot, he still maintained his original standing position and did not move.

The soldiers of the Fifth Brigade were moving around like other soldiers, but when they saw the captain's appearance, they naturally calmed down.

After a long time, the heat of the sun began to weaken, and the soldiers of the entire army were already dizzy and could not bear it. Several cavalrymen with legional command flags ran from a distance. They rode their horses and shouted, "All of them are ready, the officers urged the soldiers to stand in line!"

The muffled sound of horse hooves hitting the ground and the hoarse shouts woke everyone up. The entire army immediately forced themselves to fight, and the officers began to urge the soldiers to stand up straight and stand without looking sideways.

Not long after the messenger left, the sound of horse hooves like thunder came from a distance. As the sound of horse hooves became louder, the royal guards, known as the strongest heavy iron cavalry in the Qihong Kingdom, appeared.

This Imperial Guard Corps is a fully equipped cavalry with strong attack power and a higher level than other legions.

The horses wearing vests were lined up neatly, and they stood up at the same time and moved forward in an orderly manner. Just looking at the movements of these horses, you will know that the Imperial Guard is worthy of being the strongest in the country.

However, seeing these Imperial Guards, most of the soldiers of the Ninth Legion were muttering: "Oh my God, no wonder they have to wait for so long. How long does it take to walk in such a straight line?"

However, the soldiers were also very surprised. Why did these guys in heavy armor not sweating under the hot sun? Did they rest in front of them for a long time before they came?

The Imperial Guards, who were riding on horseback, wearing full armor, holding spears, and long swords, all proudly looked up at the front with their chests raised and their heads up, without even looking at the corners of their eyes, the Ninth Legion standing on both sides of the road for a morning.

All the soldiers of the Ninth Legion present showed envious eyes. The heavy-armed iron cavalry was several levels higher than the dream of the infantry - the heavy-armed infantry. The heavy-armed iron cavalry can be said to be the top level of the soldier level, so out of reach.

Cons did not show his envious look, and he still looked ahead without looking at the heavy-armed cavalry passing by. Of course, he did not seriously look at the heavy-armed cavalry passing by.

He thought about the rumor he heard last night: It is said that the king came to the front line this time because the commander of the Imperial Guards proposed. The commander of the legion was Masenno, who was a very young and handsome noble soldier and a member of the princess's many suitors.

Legend has it that the princess of the kingdom is as beautiful as a fairy, gentle, quiet and generous, and is the goddess in everyone's mind. Moreover, the king only has such a descendant. No matter whoever is, as long as he becomes the princess' husband, he will be the prince of Qihong Kingdom.

The man who told Cons these things was drooling and said as if he had been favored by the princess.

When someone saw his expression, he would have the idea of ​​"a toad wants to eat swan meat". But Cons didn't think so, just showed an encouraging smile to the man.

He would not interrupt anyone talking to Cons, but just listened silently, and of course he would not spread it. So he accidentally knew a lot of news that others didn't know.

Suddenly, Cons felt a gaze at him, and immediately retracted his mind and looked at him.

I saw that in the heavy-armored iron cavalry, there was a cavalry who was also wearing full armor, but there was a scarlet cloak behind him, looking at him.

Cons immediately knew that he was the commander of the Masenno Legion, because only the commander of the Legion could wear a red cloak.

Speaking of this, we must not talk about another strange hierarchy of the Qihong Kingdom army, that is, only those who are above the division commander can wear cloaks. The division commander is a white cloak, the legion commander is a red cloak, and the marshal and the king are a golden cloak.

Cons did not meet the other person's eyes at all, but just looked at it from the corner of his eyes.

He was a handsome man with beautiful blonde hair and a noble temperament. The closure of the cloak was a badge representing the noble earl.

But even if he didn't put on a cloak and the badge, he could still see his extraordinaryness at a glance. Cons couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: He is worthy of being the leader of the Imperial Guard Corps!

Cons didn't know, and Enno praised him too.

Enno originally saw the infantry shaking a little, and his heart was full of disdain, but when he passed the queue to which Cons brigade, all the soldiers stood upright. Although there were envious gazes in the soldiers' eyes, their eyes would not chase the cavalry like other soldiers, but just looked at the cavalry passing by.

Ennuo knew that it was necessary to look at the quality of an officer, it was the performance of the soldiers he led. Judging from the performance of this squadron of soldiers, the captain must be a talented person.

When Enno saw Cons, he could not see any feelings in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "A natural soldier."

After finally waiting for the forward to finish the road, the cavalry who was driving the way, he could hear a shout from a distance: "Long live my king!"

After a while, a white horse wearing a full-body vest made of gold and covered with gems, carrying a middle-aged man wearing a golden armor, a golden cloak, and a golden crown. He was about fifty years old and a cold-looking face. He came to Cons's team surrounded by a group of iron cavalry.

You don’t have to think about it, this is the king of Qihong Kingdom. Cons knelt down with the soldiers around him and shouted: “Long live my king!”

The king ignored the soldiers who knelt down, proudly raised his head and rode his horse, and moved forward slowly with his feet.

If you want to respond one by one, you will be exhausted? And how can the king give gifts to these lowly soldiers? The king is supreme and should ignore anyone! This is the royal torch passed down from ancient times.

After the king passed, Cons and the others could get up.

After Cons got up, he just raised his head and saw a pair of beautiful and charming eyes.

It was a beauty who was also riding a white horse and surrounded by an iron cavalry, but was wearing snow-white armor. Cons immediately lowered his head and put his right hand on his left chest.

This is a military ritual. The secretary told me a few days ago what kind of rituals should be performed to the princess.

The beauty in front of him is the legendary Princess Qihongguo, who is as beautiful as a fairy in the world. Many people stole the corners of their eyes to the noble princess, but Cons did not. He raised his head and looked forward. To him, the beautiful princess was a person from another world, so he didn't even remember the princess's appearance.
