Chapter 34 Recruiting Troops, Sensation
After the battle started, Danxiang Pavilion was also very busy, because elixirs played a very important role in the war, especially some simple healing elixirs, which were used to heal trauma. This kind of elixir is not even a first-grade elixir, but it can be very effective when used on trauma.
There are many people in Danxiang Pavilion who can refine this kind of elixir, and due to the launch of the war, Danxiang Pavilion also made a lot of contributions. A thousand healing pills were provided for free, which was definitely a huge fortune.
Although the price of the Healing Pill is much lower than that of the Yuan Ning Dan, and you can't even exchange it for ten for one, its role in the war is undoubtedly huge. It's useless for ordinary people to hold Yuan Ning Dan. When soldiers have healing pills, they can count on getting an extra life in many cases.
But after a thousand healing pills, the rest have to be purchased with various medicinal materials or currency. Even so, Danxiang Pavilion still gave a big discount.
Early this morning, the siege battle in Silver Wolf Kingdom had temporarily stopped, and it seemed that they were also taking a rest. The City Lord's Mansion has also set up many temporary recruitment sites in the floating city. Although there are many people volunteering, they are not too many.
After all, if you go to the battlefield, your life will be in danger, and you may not be able to come back! There are some poor people at the bottom who are poor themselves and have no food to eat, and there are also some people who are full of passion and want to contribute to the country.
There won't be too many people like this, but the number is still considerable. After all, Wang Zhenmin, the city lord, is very popular in his daily behavior. In addition, some of the powerful families in Floating City have also sent their own family children to join the army, which can be regarded as a kind of experience and a contribution to the protection of Floating City!
Bai Yuzhe showed up at the recruitment point near Danxiang Pavilion with eighteen people. They came not early, so there were dozens of people ahead of them.
"Name, age, and home address!" The person in charge of the recruitment was a middle-aged man. He was wearing a chainmail and looked like he had the smell of iron and blood. He had obviously been on the battlefield and killed people, and he was also good at work. Meticulous!
"Wang Liu, 20 years old, lives at No. 135, Lane 2, Goulan Street!" The first person in line was a young man. His clothes were full of patches. He couldn't be said to be strong, but he looked relatively strong.
A large part of the people who come here to join the army live on Goulan Street. Although the name of Goulan Street sounds like it is just a street, it is actually a large area. It is the authentic slum of Floating City. A quarter of the people living in this area are beggars, and many others are eating. Not a single meal.
Therefore, there are quite a lot of volunteers at this recruitment site. Many people come, and their biggest wish is to have enough to eat, and three meals a day, two of which include meat dishes, which is very attractive to them!
"Go over there, pick a stone lock and lift it up, and you'll pass!" The middle-aged man said to Wang Liu while registering, pointing with his left hand not far away. There was a row of stone locks placed in that place. There were about ten stone locks ranging from small to large. The smallest one was estimated to be only about 20 kilograms. The largest one looked to be one size larger than a millstone and weighed several hundred kilograms.
Wang Liu walked to the stone lock. After careful consideration, he picked a stone lock that was estimated to be about fifty kilograms. He tried the weight for a while, then holding back his strength, he held the handle of the stone lock with both hands and shouted angrily. He raised it above his head and held it for three seconds, then suddenly put it down, stirring up some dust on the ground.
"It's not bad, private, go ahead!" The middle-aged man gave Wang Liu a sign and then moved on to the next one. Wang Liu was led into a temporary tent.
The next one only lifted more than 30 kilograms of stone locks and became an auxiliary soldier. Basically, he would not face the enemy directly, but would do some auxiliary work.
The next one, who didn't even lift the lightest stone lock, was naturally unqualified. You can't lift more than 20 kilograms. It's useless if you leave. You have to take care of the food. Obviously the city lord's mansion won't do such a thing.
Soon, it was the turn of Bai Yuzhe's group. The one at the front was the iron tower. His strong body stood there, giving people a sense of oppression.
"Name, age, and home address!" After taking a look, the middle-aged man showed a look of surprise, but his tone was still mechanical.
"Tieta, fourteen years old, Shili Temple on Goulan Street!" Tieta replied angrily. That's right, he himself didn't know his name, he only knew his surname was Xiong. After so many years, everyone calls him Iron Tower anyway, so he has almost forgotten his last name!
"Real name!" The middle-aged man frowned and raised his voice a bit, Iron Tower? Does this count as a name? It's just a nickname at most. Of course you have to give your real name when you join the army!
"It's just called Iron Tower, I don't have any other name!" Iron Tower's voice also rose a bit, and he said seriously.
After thinking about it for a while, the middle-aged man didn't say anything more. Considering the situation on Goulan Street, this might be true. Then he pointed towards Shisuo while registering.
The iron tower walked that way, directly towards the largest stone lock, without even looking at the other smaller stone locks. After walking to the front, he held the handle of the stone lock with one hand.
"rise!"
Iron Tower shouted loudly, and the muscles all over his body tensed instantly. The thick arms steadily lifted the huge stone lock, then suddenly raised it to the top of his head, and then turned around three times before slowly placing it on the ground. , this weight is obviously far from reaching the limit of one of his hands.
Wow...
Seeing the performance of the iron tower, everyone, except Bai Yuzhe and the others, whether they came to join the army or were originally members of the military, were all in an uproar and stunned!
What kind of strength does this have? You know, the stone lock is estimated to weigh 200 kilograms, a full 400 kilograms. He lifted it with one hand, and it didn't look like it took much effort...
"No...he's only fourteen years old?"
Suddenly, someone in the team behind remembered the age reported by Tie Ta just now, and suddenly became stunned, unable to believe that this was the truth. Originally, due to the interference of his weird name, everyone had forgotten to pay attention to his age, but now someone suddenly remembered...
"How is it possible? A fourteen-year-old can grow to his head? And his strength is so terrifying?" Many people exclaimed, with obvious disbelief in their tone.
Even the middle-aged man looked at the tower with a puzzled expression, and even asked again with a hint of caution: "Tell me again, how old are you?"
"Fourteen!" Tieta's attitude was still so sincere, and he even had a hint of doubt. What happened to being fourteen? Who said that fourteen-year-olds cannot grow so strong?
Everyone stopped talking, and the middle-aged man also looked at the tower seriously. Upon closer inspection, his face still had a trace of childishness, and it was also very smooth, with only some fine fuzz, not a beard at all.
"First class soldier!" The middle-aged man no longer had any doubts, and then gave the iron tower a metal sign and asked someone to take him to the camp to gather first!
Many of the people queuing up behind, even those who had passed the assessment before, were standing outside watching, and many had envious looks on their faces. Although the upper-class soldiers are only one level higher than the lower-class soldiers, their treatment is much better and they have more opportunities to make military exploits.
Completing military exploits is a matter of honor for all civilians.
Of course, the possibility of sacrifice in war is also very high.
"Monkey, thirteen years old, Shili Temple on Goulan Street!" The next person to step forward was Monkey, who answered after the middle-aged man asked the same question thousands of times. His situation is the same as that of the Iron Tower, he doesn't even know his last name.
The hundreds of people who could see the scene were stunned again, but this time they didn't get hung up on the name. The one named Tieta before was fourteen years old, and his body looked like he was eighteen years old.
Now, no one doubts the age of the man named 'Monkey', and his figure is really similar to his name. He is definitely not even taller than the chest of the iron tower. The pointy ears and monkey cheeks look like this, unless you look closely. Maybe someone actually mistook him for a monkey!
How much strength can this person have?
"Nonsense, the army is not yours..."
The middle-aged man suddenly became a little angry. He felt that the boy in front of him was here to tease him. But before he finished speaking, the monkey dodged and reached the stone lock so fast that ordinary people couldn't see it clearly. Then the stone lock he chose frightened people again.
He actually walked directly to the largest stone lock, held the handle with both hands, and suddenly lifted the stone lock, which was several sizes larger than his body, above his head. He held on for three seconds.
boom……
The stone lock was smashed to the ground by him, and he felt the earth tremble slightly.
At this time, the sensation caused by the monkey was even more astonishing than that of the Iron Tower, although everyone could see that this weight was already considered the limit for this thin boy with a sallow complexion and an estimated weight of no more than 30 kilograms.
But look at his body, no one doubts that the smallest stone lock can crush him...
But who would have thought that such a big body could lift hundreds of kilograms of stone locks? Is this dazzling...
Yes, strength is definitely Monkey's weakness, but don't forget that he is already close to the middle stage of the Heart Sect Realm, and under the conditioning of Bai Yuzhe's elixir, his strength is much better than before. Geometric growth! Not to mention, he was practicing Xuan-level skills, and it was actually reasonable to lift hundreds of kilograms of weight!
"Enter... private!" The middle-aged man wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and spoke less fluently. Then he gave the monkey a metal plate. When the monkey walked behind him, he couldn't help but turn around. After looking at it again, I adjusted my mentality and continued my recruitment work!
"Gopher, fourteen years old, Shili Temple on Goulan Street!"
