Chapter 146 Two Fur Balls
"Huhu. Telak, who do you think is the person chatting with the 'devil'?"
On the training ground, a lion-headed Roma asked his companions while squeezing out his last bit of physical strength to run.
"Monton, if you can save the strength for running, your test results will be better."
Another lion-headed Roma called Telak controlled his breathing rhythm and said in a calm tone.
At the moment of speaking, the two also crossed the finish line, and then they were about to fall to the ground uncontrollably.
But the instructor guarding the finish line rushed over immediately, and kicked them both straightened their backs.
"Two fur balls! How many times have I told you! Don't sit down immediately after strenuous exercise! Go to the side and walk slowly!"
"Yes! Sir!"
The two lion-headed Roma immediately walked to the side with their tails between their legs, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the instructor did not catch up.
Watching their companions start to fiddle with their shiny and very soft manes again.
Terak, who had trimmed his mane very neatly, shook his head and couldn't help complaining:
"Monte, are you so reluctant to part with your mane?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? An excellent male maned lion must have a perfect mane. This thing will drive those little female cats crazy!"
Monte swung his mane, made a bodybuilding pose, and then looked at his companion.
"Terak, you haven't answered my question just now. Who is the person chatting with the 'devil'?"
"How do I know?" Terak shrugged, and then continued in an uncertain tone:
"But it seems that the 'devil' is very respectful to him. Maybe he is the boss of this company?"
"The big boss of Atlas?"
Monte stopped and looked at that position.
More than ten days ago, he and Terak were both tavern waiters, responsible for working in a tavern opened by elves, and were occasionally touched by some rich elf women.
And now, they have become candidates for the Atlas Private Military Company.
Although the initial show of strength after arriving, plus the training in the following days, had let them know that the company's recruitment information was not exaggerated.
If they joined Atlas, their lives would be in danger and they would have to work hard for them.
But this still did not stop the two male maned lions from making this decision.
They were tired of the dull waiter life, and the exciting profession of mercenary had vaguely stimulated the pursuit of excitement and bloodthirstiness hidden deep in the blood of the Roma.
Moreover, they were completely convinced by these instructors whose physical fitness was not as strong as theirs.
At the beginning, there were naturally a few thorns in the team who were not convinced, thinking that the fighting power of these humans was not good enough.
But the chief instructor, who they privately called "devil", just smiled after hearing such words.
After pointing out those unconvinced thorns, they supplemented them to 50 people.
Then they randomly picked 8 people from the instructor group behind them.
In the case that neither side was equipped with exoskeletons, they used training guns to conduct a street fight in a simulated town training ground.
Then these 50 confident Roma were beaten into idiots by 8 elusive humans.
From beginning to end, they couldn't even hit these human instructors.
The bullets that came from nowhere and the plasma grenades that exploded inexplicably above their heads turned this battle into a massacre.
After this simulated battle, the Roma put away their contempt for these instructors.
They also knew that physical fitness cannot determine everything in battle.
What's more, in the subsequent training, these instructors will lead the training throughout the whole process, and they will follow all the subjects themselves.
And without the help of auxiliary equipment, all subjects are completed better than these Roma.
Even when these fur balls were dizzy and tired, these instructors still had time to rush over and kick them and correct some of their "bad habits".
"Okay, don't think about these things."
Terak waved his hand and pulled his companions back from the trance.
"You are not a formal employee of Atlas yet. Both of us are just candidates. Only those who pass the final assessment can stay!"
"Hey~ Look at what you said, we will definitely pass the final assessment! I don't want to be touched by those elves anymore."
"Fuck, these Roma people are really beasts. How can they run so fast?"
On the other side of the training ground, two instructors who were resting were also complaining. The intensity of the training in the past few days even gave them the illusion that it was higher than the combat intensity.
It also forced them to keep their own training volume so as not to be outdone by these Roma rookies.
"Didn't the Boss and the Sergeant get vaccinated at the beginning? The physical fitness of these aliens is far superior to ours."
"I am now drinking energy drinks and supplements as water every day. What will I do when these guys are trained?"
One of the instructors said with a bitter face, and then took another sip of supplements.
"Wait until those brothers with prosthetics get used to it first, and then they will be allowed to train later."
The instructor who spoke patted his companion on the shoulder and comforted him:
"Then let the Roma see what the power of human technology is!"
After a day of rest in the manor, after officially handing over the training work to Sergeant Baninger, Amber found the elf translator again.
This female elf is not only the leader of the elves who came to assist, but also one of Alanita's confidants.
The two of them slightly aligned some key matters in the near future, and the elf named Shikoti also conveyed the latest instructions from Alanita's sponsor.
The original words were: "I'm not afraid of burning money, I'm afraid that Mr. Amber will not be creative."
Since the sponsor said so, Amber has no worries.
Finally, I asked the other party to help pay attention to the human merchant ships that often travel between the elves and the empire, to see if there are people who can provide supplies and spare parts for a long time.
After all, Atlas does not have any manufacturing capabilities, and various supplies can only be obtained by purchase for the time being.
But in the kingdom of elves, it is still a bit difficult to find supplies and spare parts that humans can use, so there is still a reliable supplier.
At the same time, there are also channels for purchasing large server arrays.
On the one hand, it satisfies Lilith's iterative optimization, and on the other hand, it can better exert her abilities.
"It seems that the ability to be self-sufficient has to be put on the agenda."
"We have to consider assigning Lilith some tasks related to industrial production and logistics supply."
After arranging all the important matters, Amber took the personnel involved in this operation and set off to the airport again.
Considering the possible space battle, Amber also specially brought two HCPs from the ground training ground.
In addition, there are two pilots and members of the maintenance team.
In this regard, the members who stayed in the "Tower of Babel" expressed great jealousy.
Because for the Atlas Private Military Company, this is not only the first operation after its establishment, but also the maiden voyage of the company's first warship, which has a certain commemorative significance no matter how you look at it.
Three days later, the Hermes left the jump and arrived at the designated area.
At the same time as leaving the jump, this dark gray Dragoon-class destroyer turned on the optical camouflage and activated the black body, hiding in the background of the universe.
