Farming Lord of Crossing

Chapter 9 9. Selection and Training

Spring plowing is over, and militia training should be on the agenda.

On this day, the villagers of Stan Village came to the open space in the center of the village early, because yesterday the village head and the only warrior announced that five youths aged 20 to [-] would be selected today, and they would be trained as warriors to This is to increase the force of the village.

The fear brought to the villagers by the kobold attack last winter has not completely dissipated, and the pain of losing their loved ones is still tormenting their fragile nerves late at night, so they are full of hatred for monsters and alien races, and even more full of desire for power. eager.

Therefore, when they heard that the village head, who is a real warrior, wanted to select trainee warriors and train them as warriors, every family paid special attention to this, and young people aged fifteen to twenty were full of enthusiasm for it.

At this time, after training the militia, eradicating the goblin tribe, and purchasing the seeds of the temple, Los's prestige in the village is unmatched, and he has become an unambiguous existence, so the selection criteria and rules are directly announced by him:

"Warrior is the foundation for our survival here, and it is also the foundation for us to go out of the village and grow stronger. Today I will select 5 people here, and use the resources of Stan Village to train them to become warriors, protect our village, and defend our country. home.

The selection rules are very simple. All the young people participating in the selection run 100 times around the village wall.The top five people who complete the lap will have the opportunity to follow me for martial arts training.

Tryouts, start now! "

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. In fact, everyone guessed today's selection rules in advance, and generally believed that the most likely thing would be a competition, so basically all the young people who participated in the selection deliberately brought the best weapons in their families.

As a result, the selection rules for the village head were so unexpected that they were all stunned on the spot.

Thomas and Bruce were the first to react, and ran towards the entrance of the village with a roar, only then did the other youths react, and hurried to follow.

Stan Village is built according to the rectangle, and the length of the wall is 300 by 400, so it is 1400 meters in one circle.

Twenty or thirty young people were not to be outdone, they chased each other and ran as hard as they could, and soon came down after 10 laps.At this time, everyone's physical strength dropped sharply, and their speed gradually began to decrease.

Rose stood at the gate of the village and yelled: "Look at what you look like. If you run so slowly, you are not as good as Goblins. What kind of fighters do you want to be?"

The roar of the village chief made the young people extremely sad and indignant, but at this time the gap in the psychological quality of the young people began to show. Most of the young people heard Luo Si's roar and immediately started to speed up desperately, trying to run in the first few positions , Only four or five young people were not affected, but tried to adjust their running rhythm and ran around the village smoothly.

In the blink of an eye, 15 laps passed, and the physical fitness gap of the young people was fully reflected at this time. Four or five young people with poor physical fitness were already three or four laps behind the main force, and the fastest runners were four or five who kept Young people with a running rhythm, they have already taken a lap ahead.

After 20 laps, everyone was mixed together, and it was impossible to tell how many laps they had run.Those with the weakest physical strength have already begun to become shaky, and some even collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.

25 laps, 30 laps, more and more people fell to the ground, unable to get up, the rest of the people also ran precariously, and a few people gritted their teeth and walked slowly.

At the 35th lap, some people have recovered and joined the ranks of running laps.

At the 40th lap, there were less than ten people who could stand. At this time, Ross shouted: "The selection is over, everyone come and report the number of laps run."

“40圈！”“39圈！”“38圈！”~~~“37圈！”“36圈！”

After hearing this, Ross announced loudly: "Now, I announce that those qualified to practice martial arts are: Thomas, Bruce, Xiumi, Wei Li'an, and Hobbs!"

"Yeah, that's great!" Thomas and Bruce clapped their hands excitedly, and the other three also showed smiles on their pale faces, trying to straighten their bodies.

At this moment, an unwilling and angry voice came: "Why? Why did we run more laps than Wei Li'an and Hobbs, but they became able to train warriors, but we couldn't?
Village chief, you are unfair! "

The last sentence was yelled out, and everyone looked at Ross, with puzzlement, doubt, and even suspicion in their eyes.

Roswa's blue eyes lightly glanced at Verus, a young man who was blushing because of excitement, and then looked at the villagers and explained calmly: "This time, the selection of personnel for warrior training is to consume the strength of our entire village to train them. Cultivate them to improve the overall strength of the village and ensure that the tragedy of last year will not happen again.

However, warrior training is definitely not as easy and simple as your usual militia training.This requires our trainees to have a strong physique, tough nerves, a spirit of never giving up, and the courage to face themselves, so that they can persevere in the harsh warriors and have a chance to become a real warrior. "

Speaking of Ross, he pointed at Verus and the others unceremoniously: "I remember clearly the number of laps each of you ran. You guys dare to lie about the number of laps, and you don't even have the courage to face yourself. Even There will be no achievements after training as a warrior, so why waste the resources of the village."

Then he pointed to Wei Li'an and Hobbs who were on the verge of collapse and said: "Although the two of you ran the fewest laps among the few of you, they are also the ones who persisted the longest among you.

Although the two of them are thinner than you, they have never stopped running from the beginning to the present. Even if they are walking step by step and moving step by step, they have always persisted.

This spirit of never giving up, how many of you can compare with them? "

After finishing speaking, Ross looked at the villagers sincerely and said: "I think everyone is very clear about the reason why we paid such a high price to train warriors this time. However, after so many years, everyone should also understand that we are poor in resources. How difficult it is for a warrior to appear in this small village.

So, I know better than any of you that we have to direct our limited resources to the right people.

In this selection, I think everyone can clearly see the performance of all of them.I choose the three who are also the most physically fit, and the two who work the hardest.Believe they will not let us down. "

After speaking, the villagers immediately sounded their approval, and the owner in front of him, the young village chief with hair-colored hair, blue eyes, and a resolute face, made them even more convinced and agreed.

In the afternoon of the same day, Ross called the selected five people including Thomas to the field behind his house and prepared to hand over the basic training method of warriors to them.

After careful research by Ross, it was discovered that the basic training method for warriors produced by the system is several grades better than the military cross sword handed down from generation to generation in the village and given by the Viscount.

The focus of Army Cross Sword training is on the upper body of a person, and there is basically no exercise for the lower limbs. However, the basic training method for warriors can effectively exercise the muscles, tendons, and bones of a person's whole body, greatly improving the possibility of cultivators becoming warriors.

There are a total of 56 movements in the basic training method of warriors. After each practice, Luo Si can feel the mysterious energy being absorbed by his body. Of course, every practice will consume a lot of physical strength.

Therefore, Thomas and the others just memorized the 56 disassembled movements in the afternoon, and could not perform them completely.

There is no rush for this, you can only practice slowly and improve slowly.

When Ross gave them a piece of parchment with action patterns and practice points written on it, he was embarrassed to find that they didn't even know a single big character.

So, from this day on, Little Rocky has five more friends who can read and write every night.

Then there is the issue of food.

What I want to explain here is that the reason why most people are willing to be militiamen is not only to protect their homes, but also for the breakfast, lunch and dinner provided by the village, which can greatly relieve the pressure on their families. economic pressure.

You know, for farmers like them who can only plan and eat in the land, [-]% of the harvest is turned over to Lord Viscount as a tax, and [-]% of the harvest is turned over to the village as funds for village construction, protection, etc. They eat two meals, and they can barely eat half full, let alone nutritious.

The reason why everyone flocked to the training of warriors was that five of them could eat three full meals and had an extra piece of flesh the size of a fist than other militiamen.

After the spring blossoms, the farmers can always find something to eat in the farmland and wild fields outside the village. It is still possible to ensure that the militiamen have a full meal, so the militia training officially started the next day.

This time, Ross divided the fifty militiamen into five squads, choosing an older and experienced militiaman as the captain, Thomas and other five as the deputy captain, one squad has five swordsmen, three spearmen, two Archer.

After everyone chose weapons according to their own interests, Ross immediately started a month-long training, teaching the sword skills, gun skills, and arrow skills exchanged from the system to the militiamen.
