John was observing the army's rations.
Six ran over to the large pot, managing without the cook's help. With one hand holding a bowl and the other reaching into the pot, he filled his bowl to the brim with porridge and grabbed a plate of pickled vegetables before heading back.
The conditions were tough for the adults; this was all they had. John didn’t complain; after all, he remembered that his first meal upon arriving here was far less appealing. He recalled the Mai Zhou he had eaten on his first day, which was much thinner than this porridge. It took him several bowls to feel even slightly full, not because of the grains, but because of the water.
As he tasted the plain porridge, John inquired about the situation.
“How’s the training going for the troops?”
Six replied cautiously. “We’ve now entered military formation drills. The weapons and equipment are all in place, and we’ve completed weapon training.”
“So that means they’re ready to see some action,” John said, planning to take these men out to confront some bandits and enjoy the scenery.
“Sir, shouldn’t we find some wild beasts or death row prisoners for them to practice against first?” Six was still worried about these Serf Soldiers. They were not Professional Soldiers, and even after this long training period, he didn’t dare let them engage in real combat.
“There’s no time left; we have only a month before we set off,” John replied. He had learned during last night’s banquet that the assembly date had been moved up. Marquis Duvas wanted to review the troops and showcase all soldiers along the border to display Blink County’s might, so there wouldn’t be enough time for extended training.
“Six, tell Master tomorrow that we’ll gather the troops and launch a surprise attack on the nearest bandit camp at noon.”
“Yes!”
Under the blazing sun, three figures stood side by side on a high platform, while below them, soldiers formed a hundred-man Elite Soldiers phalanx alongside three hundred-man Serf Soldiers phalanxes arranged neatly.
As the commander below issued commands, roars erupted from within the formations.
“Use me in the first battle; with me, victory is assured!”
“Use me in the first battle; with me, victory is assured!”
“Use me in the first battle; with me, victory is assured!”
Regardless of their actual strength, their momentum was overwhelming.
John looked down with satisfaction. The Master had not cut any corners, training them exactly according to his methods. With the three key elements of formation, discipline, and slogans, even if they were not yet a fully formed army, they would undoubtedly be transformed.
The wind rose and the clouds soared. Where can we find brave warriors to roam the land? My friends, I am your Lord, John Stephen. Seeing you all spirited and lively brings me great joy!
Today, I have gathered you for two reasons. The first is to remind you for whom you serve—it's for me, and it's for our Gong Xianyu Village.
The second reason is to eliminate bandits! Bandits must be dealt with at all times; there is no room for leniency. Just think about it.
