Chapter 354 What are you thinking about?
In the past two days, the grassland village has been extremely lively because the grassland elves and the centaurs have successively surrendered to their Great Zhou.
At the same time, Zhou Xu also sent messengers to other villages to make announcements.
While allowing the people of the Great Zhou to prepare for this matter, it was also to boost morale.
After all, the fact that a war had broken out between them and the Lizardmen on the grassland was no secret for a long time. In addition, Zhou Xu had recently been hastily launching a recruitment operation in the winter and had been recruiting soldiers continuously.
When people see all these actions, they can't help but think too much and feel anxious.
Under this premise, the joining of the grassland elves and the centaurs is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the uninformed people, allowing his rear to become more secure.
The next morning, according to Zhou Xu's request, both of them brought their respective tribesmen to report to Li Ce when the first bronze bell rang in the morning.
Drogo and his companions were fine. The Centaurs made a living by hunting, and sometimes in order to successfully hunt prey, they often set out before dawn.
But it was different for Silk and the others. Aside from the time they were fighting outside, they had never gotten up so early in their lives.
This is no exception even after arriving at the grassland village.
Under normal circumstances, the bronze bell in Caoyuan Village would be rung twice in the morning. One time was at 5:30 in the morning. Villagers and soldiers who needed to start early work would usually get up when the bell rang.
Soldiers usually do some morning exercises before eating breakfast.
As for Silk, Drogo and the others, they basically got up when the bronze bell rang for the second time, which was 7:30 in the morning, the bell for breakfast.
The grassland elves, who had just adapted to their previous pace of life, were suddenly asked to get up two hours earlier, which made the grassland elves, including Silk, unable to even open their eyes.
Fortunately, the cold wind in the early morning can still keep people awake. Once the cold wind blows, almost everyone loses their sleepiness.
By the way, on the way, they met Drogo and his companions who were also rushing to report.
The two sides exchanged glances, and no one said anything. They just walked towards the training camp, breathing hot air.
Before they got close, they could already hear the sound of "One, two! One, two!" from a distance.
At this moment, if they were not stupid, they would realize that they were probably late.
Thinking of this, they quickly quickened their pace.
Sure enough, when they arrived, the soldiers under Li Ce were already running in circles, shouting "one, two, one, two".
Seeing this, Drogo came to Li Ce without saying a word, and Silk quickly followed.
Compared to Silk, who was not so familiar with some of the systems in the Great Zhou, Drogo, who was watching their training, was undoubtedly more familiar with this set of procedures.
"Warrant Officer Drogo, report for duty with four Centaur soldiers!"
Seeing this, Silk immediately followed suit and started talking...
"Warrant Officer Silk, bring five soldiers from the grassland elves to report for duty!"
On the grassland elves' side, although the remaining elven knights have been discharged from the hospital, their injuries are serious after all, and it is still quite risky to let them join the training directly.
Taking this into consideration, at this stage Zhou Xu only allowed six grassland elves, including Silk himself, to join the daily training of their Great Zhou soldiers.
Looking at Drogo and Silk, who looked fairly presentable, Li Ce nodded.
"All soldiers must assemble here within ten minutes after the first bell rings in the morning. Considering that this is your first day in the army, I will let it go this time and will not punish you."
After all, the situations of Drogo and Silk are rather special, so Li Ce did not act too rigidly towards them.
"First, you guys follow the main group and run in circles. When the main group stops, you can stop. Now, run!"
At this time, Li Ce spoke without hesitation, with a commanding tone.
When they arrived on the first day as soldiers and subordinates, the change of identities made them unconsciously feel a little awkward.
At that time, when Zhou Xu asked him if he had thought it through and that as a subordinate he had to obey orders after surrendering, Zhuogo didn't take it too seriously.
After all, in his opinion, before they surrendered, the Centaurs led by him basically cooperated with Li Ce and his men in carrying out their actions.
Now that his identity has completely changed, he has clearly realized the difference between the two.
But what he didn't know was that Li Ce was being polite to them at this moment.
Otherwise, they would be scolded and punished just for being late for morning exercise.
During the running process, the centaurs led by Drogo performed very well. After all, their race has excellent physical strength.
On the other hand, the grassland elves are obviously not doing well.
One reason is that they have just recovered from injuries and have not yet fully recovered, but the main reason is that they simply do not arrange any physical training for themselves on a daily basis.
Improving physical fitness depends purely on daily activities.
However, the intensity of their daily activities is not high. Judging from physical fitness alone, the grassland elves are probably the worst among the three tribes of soldiers.
After running laps, Silk's performance was slightly better. The other five grassland elves basically supported their knees with their hands and began to breathe heavily. They did not sit down on the ground on the spot because they considered their face.
"Is the training over?"
In response to this, a human soldier who was stretching his muscles after running a lap nearby chuckled.
"What are you thinking about? This is just a warm-up. Morning exercise has just begun."
“…”
Hearing this, the faces of the elf soldiers suddenly turned bitter, and they felt an urge to take back their words and withdraw from the spot.
[Damn it, who said joining the Great Zhou was a good idea?! ]
But they looked at the human soldiers who were standing there, looking at them, and whispering to each other from time to time.
Then he looked at the Centaur soldiers who had joined the training at the same time as them, but were obviously in much better condition than them.
Invisibly, they always feel that they have become the object of ridicule.
These elves care about their reputation the most and are full of pride. How can they lose face at a time like this? This time, they really became stubborn.
"No, it's okay. I didn't feel too exhausted. I just got injured and haven't moved for too long."
When one of the elf soldiers said this, the other grassland elves responded one after another.
As he spoke, he stood up straight.
However, Li Ce's next words almost made them lose their expression.
"Okay, now that we've finished our warm-up exercises, let's start today's morning exercise!"
