Chapter 1084 Regiment Commander Sir!
Seeing the excited JMCs, the male soldiers, who had already experienced the torment of the training, couldn"t help but worry about these naive young women who still weren"t aware that they were stepping into a lion"s den. One of the male soldiers stood beside the female soldiers decided to tell them the truth. He had a bitter smile on his face and said softly, “Uh, day training is actually very scary, you may not be able to endure it…”
However, what he did not expect was his nice gesture being misunderstood as contempt by a female soldier, “Don"t look down on us. We can partic.i.p.ate in the day training because of our own capabilities, not because someone let us in through connections! Hmph!” She glared at him with frustration and anger filling her eyes.
“Ah, that"s not what I meant…” The male soldier was instantly dumbfounded by the reply. That was not what he meant at all.
He wanted to clear up the misunderstanding between himself and that female soldier, but the group of female soldiers suddenly moved more to the side, creating half a meter of distance between the two groups that were originally standing shoulder to shoulder.
“Heh, Little Qiu, did you offend then?” A comrade beside him noticed the movements of the female soldiers and criticized his friend who went to talk to them.
“I didn"t…” This innocent male soldier understood that he could not explain himself anymore.
Right at that moment, strong presence suddenly came down on their shoulders. All of the soldiers in the area suddenly had a change in expression and began to go against the pressure in unplanned unison.
“Hold!” Han Xuya, who was leading them, was the first to feel this strong pressure and she immediately reminded everyone.
Although these JMCs currently had the weakest physical const.i.tutions compared to the other male soldiers in the training grounds, they were still able to withstand the pressure after Han Xuya"s 15 days of training. After Han Xuya"s order, all of the JMCS quickly held onto the comrades beside them, creating a long connected line of soldiers. The reason why they were doing this was to equally distribute the pressure among them in hopes that even the weakest among them would not fall.
However, even though they did that, every JMC still had a pained expression on their face. They caught off guard since they had never been under this type of pressure before.
Only Han Xuya, who was standing at the very front, was standing upright with no change in her expression. It was as though the strong pressure was non-existent to her.
Lady Mei raised her head with great difficulty and saw the silhouette of Han Xuya standing upright. Seeing her, Lady Mei instantly calmed her mind and the pressure, that was originally difficult for her, no longer seemed that terrifying.
“Everyone did well, but if you want to actually qualify for the day training, you still have to keep enduring… Don"t shame our JMC department.”
Han Xuya"s words echoed through all of the ears of the JMCs. Every one of them instantly put forth all their effort to endure until the end. They wanted to let the males see that them females were not any weaker than them.
Click! Click! Click! Sharp footsteps suddenly echoed within the hearts of every soldier on the training grounds. Every step was like a sledgehammer smashing their heart. A few less capable new recruits had reddened faces with pained expressions.
Similarly, some JMCs, who were less capable, were also suffering from the same feeling. They felt as though their hearts were going to be split apart by the sound of the footsteps. The line they created by combining their strength instantly began to teeter on the end of breaking apart.
“Hmm?” Suddenly, all the JMCs heard a soft and odd voice echoed in their ears. Of course, it was entirely possible that it was an illusion caused by the pressure put on their hearts.
Every JMC felt that they were going to faint from the terrifying footsteps. Surprisingly, the pressure on their hearts began to lessen. Every one of them started gasping for air as if they had almost drowned. The suffocating feeling they initially felt had already gone away from them.
Although they escaped from the terrifying footsteps, the pressure on their shoulders was still pushing them down. They had only managed to escape from one avenue of death but it didn"t mean their troubles were over.
Other than the JMCs, all the other soldiers knew that it was their regiment commander who had arrived. The brutal training they had in the past few days made them realize that their regiment commander was a ruthless person. If he wanted to play with you until you die, you wouldn"t be able to fight back at all.
All the new recruits began thinking about the scene from ten days ago in unplanned unison. It was the first time they were underwent training with their regiment commander.
It was just like now. No, more worse back then. Back then, they were not even half as strong as they were currently, and just one wave of pressure already enough to force half of them to faint.
If they only knew what was going to happen next back then, the other half of the new recruits might have forced themselves to faint to join the other new recruits who had already fainted. Unfortunately, they were clueless about the torment they were about to go through at the time. Plus, their pride as a soldier drove them to not succ.u.mb under the pressure that easily.
It was those footsteps! Those d.a.m.n footsteps! Back then, their regiment commander only walked 10 steps. Other than a few hundred soldiers who had reached the peak stage of Qi-Jin, the rest all spat out mouthfuls of blood and fainted.
If you thought these few hundred peak stage Qi-Jin soldiers got away with it, then that would be very naive of you.
Of course, when the few hundred still standing soldiers saw their regiment commander stopped in front of them, they all thought the torture was over. However, what they didn"t expect was that an even more terrifying experience was waiting for them.
That was because their regiment commander never thought of letting them off easy.
“How many left?” Their regiment commander calmly scanned the few hundred soldiers and smirked, “Not bad. There are still 427 soldiers.” She knew the correct number of people with only a single glance.
“Are the weapons ready?” Their regiment commander raised his head slightly and looked towards the head of the law enforcement department, Gao Jinyun, who was standing at the door. Even the head of the law enforcement department had to come here since the regiment commander had came here himself.
“All ready, regiment commander!” Gao Jinyun shot a glance to his a.s.sistants. Not long after, the law enforcement department got 500 or so weapons over to the training grounds and placed them in a corner. These weapons were all made from metal. There were knives, swords, daggers, metal bats, hammers and many more. All 18 types of handheld weapons were present.
“You will only have 3 minutes to choose your best weapon. I am giving you an opportunity.” Their regiment commander"s cold voice echoed through the ears of all 427 individuals.
Opportunity? What opportunity? The 427 soldier had this question in mind. However, the training they underwent the past few days made them understand that they shouldn"t neglect the amount of time their officers gave them. They had learned from that mistake at the very beginning of their time in the clan.
It should be said that after the strength training given from the leaders, although these new recruits did not pa.s.s the requirements for Lingtian Mecha Clan, they were still much stronger from when they first joined. If they were based off the requirements of the New Recruit Corps, these recruits would all successfully pa.s.s.
Soon, everyone grabbed their weapon of choice. Everyone then looked towards the cold and collected regiment commander standing at the very front of them with clueless expressions.
“So, I heard a lot of people want to leave my mecha clan?” Ling Lan"s mocking tone rang in everyone"s ears.
Many soldiers shamefully put their heads down. Indeed, the h.e.l.lish training for the past few days caused the new recruits to be afraid. Some of them even believed that if it continued, they would die on the training grounds before dying on the battlefield.
