after falling asleep

Chapter 324
Wanting to become a guard requires not only loyalty to Hale City, but also sufficient physical fitness.The former Donald does not, but can pretend.The latter Donald's attributes are 25 points of strength, 25 points of constitution, and 20 points of acuity.

With James' recommendation, Donald successfully signed up as a soldier.Tomorrow morning, I will go to Chengwei Mansion for a test.

There is not much time left for them.

……

Chengweifu school grounds.

Dozens of figures stood around the school grounds, standing or sitting loosely, making a lot of noise.There are civilians and poor among them, most of them are dirty and muddy, and there are very few clean clothes.

A moment later, a strong man in standard uniform walked up to the crowd followed by soldiers.

"quiet!"

These people got up one after another, stood still and kept quiet, looking at the strong man.

Behind him, a ray of light gradually casts down from the top of the cave.

Its daybreak.

It is the place every resident dreams of, the aristocratic district.

At the center of the cave is a tiankeng, a trap rock wall with a diameter of several hundred meters and a drop of hundreds of meters.The aristocratic district was built around the sinkhole, which is also the only place where Hale City can be illuminated.

With longing and hope in everyone's eyes, the strong man said: "Run 10 laps around the school field, and those who finish will enter the second test."

They were taken to the starting point by the soldiers and started to run. Many people would not be able to complete the entire 300-meter lap of the school field.The team pulled apart at the beginning.Some of those who wanted to take a shortcut were dragged away by the soldiers, and the cries became more and more distant.

Donald undoubtedly took the first place. He had no intention of forbearance. He completed ten laps at a constant speed all the way, and returned to the center of the school field to stand upright and wait.

His breathing is still steady, and most people have not completed 5 laps.

Donald gets all the attention.

Half an hour later, the strong man didn't wait any longer, gathered the remaining twenty or so people, and drove out all the rest who hadn't finished running.

"You guys are lucky enough to pass the first test, but don't think that you will get through the difficulty. The second test is..." The strong man paused slightly, and said grimly: "Stay under my hands for 1 minute, if you want to flinch, you can get out now .”

No one wanted to back down, despite the sweat and gold stars.To them, being a soldier is all about eating.A beating is nothing.

"very good."

The strong man took off his shirt, exposing his muscular upper body, and licked his fingers at a young man.

The young man stepped forward, yelling and punching without any moves.The strong man smiled contemptuously, without looking at the fist, he kicked the young man's calf.

There was a soft cracking sound, and the leg bone broke from it.The young man staggered a step forward before rolling and falling, hugging his swaying calf and screaming miserably.

"Next." The strong man looked at the crowd.

Everyone retreated in fear.Law of the poor: Injury equals death.

With broken bones, this man won't survive this winter.

Among them, Donald stepped out calmly.

The strong man showed satisfaction and shook his fist.Seeing that Donald didn't take the initiative to attack, he sneered and swung his fist with a strong wind.

Snapped!
Donald easily caught the fist, twisted his hand and walked around behind the strong man, and kicked him lightly at the crook of his leg.

The strong man fell on his knees and smashed into the sand and stones.He wanted to resist, but the pain in his arm suddenly intensified, and he couldn't help but lean forward and fall to the ground.

Donald wanted to stop, but noticed some figures appearing on the edge of the school field.

So he raised his leg and stepped on the back of the strong man's head, so that his face was pressed against the rough sand.

Everyone was in a daze watching the flash of everything that happened.

"Admit defeat?" Donald asked.

The strong man's reply was a neck with blue veins and a roar like a beast.

"If you are beaten, you must admit it."

A voice came from obliquely.

Donald withdrew his hands and stepped back, looking calmly.

The city guard came surrounded by his subordinates.

Even if he was unwilling, the strong man could only get up in disgrace, and honestly called out to the officer to remain silent.

The city guard looked at the calm Donald with great interest, and said, "You are so cruel to your future companions?"

"He is my enemy in battle, and I will not hold back my hand from the enemy."

"That's well said." The city guard officer praised, and became more interested. "Let me ask you, what do you think of Hale City?"

"My homeland."

"Why do you want to be a soldier?"

"Defend the homeland."

The city guard straightened Donald's collar, and his appreciation was beyond words: "Very good, what's your name."

"Donald, sir."

"Are you a soldier?" The city guard chuckled lightly.

"Was a military cadet."

"Then you..." The city guard thought for a while, and deliberately arranged this young man who was very similar to himself when he was young.

"Sir, a soldier stumbled and fell to his death at Entrance No. 3 last night. I was going to send him there." The strong man suddenly said.

The city guard officer showed a hint of displeasure, then disappeared, and asked Donald lightly, "Do you have any objections?"

"Follow the commander's arrangement."

"Very good." The city guard was as disappointed with the strong man as he was satisfied with Donald's attitude.He glanced at him coldly: "I don't want anyone to be irreparably injured. You know, it takes a lot of time for a person to grow up."

"Yes, sir." The strong man answered nervously with his head bowed.

The city guard and everyone behind him left, and the strong man who had achieved his goal didn't want to see Donald again, so he waved his hands and called the soldiers to take Donald away.

Donald picks up an old service uniform that's clearly been worn.On the day he became a soldier, he was assigned to be stationed on a high platform.

The soldiers there certainly don't remember what it's like to be a pauper, and Donald blends in easily, especially since the rest of the team secretly let them know what happened on the school grounds.

Button - this is the name of the insatiable captain.

He doesn't know that his behavior has been well known by a group of people.In the afternoon, as usual, he left the entrance and secretly went to the Rose Tavern to find a woman.As a result, he accidentally fell and knocked on the steps when going upstairs.The poor fellow was dead when the tavernkeeper lifted him up.

Everyone thought this was an accident, and the Chengwei Mansion did not pursue it further, let alone make any noise.Everyone present saw that he fell by himself, and he should have been stationed at the entrance at this time.

……

"The little guy from yesterday must have gone to entrance 3. You can let him be the captain."

In an office with wool carpets and bookcases full of books, the city guard sits behind the desk, taking a nap with his eyes closed.When he learned of this, he promoted Donald without hesitation.

"He's only been a guard for one day." His assistant stood in front of the table, his tone awkward.

The city guard didn't look at him, and played with a crystal water glass: "Why didn't I know that Hale City added a rule that the longer you work, the higher your position?"

"I see sir..."

……

"Now you are the leader of these soldiers." The assistant came to the No. 3 entrance, informed Donald of the appointment, and then whispered: "If I were you, I would teach these subordinates a lesson."

Most of the nine soldiers standing not far away showed unwillingness and jealousy.

"I will." Donald nodded, and secretly handed a small piece of gold to the assistant's palm.

The latter left satisfied.He knew why the city guard paid attention to him.

Donald turned to look at the hole below.Now, nothing can stop them.
