As the night had yet to start, the atmosphere was still very lively. The soldiers from the three to five groups once again hurried out to eat dinner, and in dorm number 18, there were two wounded lying on the bed. Naturally, it was the 'famous' Zhou Donghai and Jiang Shan who had jumped up at noon.

Fortunately, the two of them were both warriors, and their skin film was much tougher than that of an ordinary person. In addition, they also had a good scalding medicine applied on their skin, so it should be completely healed in a couple of days. However, the pain still made the two of them feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Aiyo, it hurts, Big Brother!" Jiang Shan grinned and continued to wail. Zhou Donghai was also trembling as he sucked in a cold breath of air.

"Shouting my a.s.s! You two idiots, what's going on? Let's see if you can push that brat into the soup barrel. Instead, you two jumped in yourself!" Xue Jie looked at the two of them and could not help but scold them angrily.

"Hmm, this actually happened?"

"That's right, it's most likely Wei Xiaobao's doing. Boss, you have to avenge us! I'm going to die from the pain!"

"Humph! Wei Xiaobao!" I, Xue Jie, will definitely not let you go, don't even think about pa.s.sing the training for the new recruits from the Rutuo Cavalry Battalion! "

That night, the military camp was suddenly filled with the sounds of war drums. Dong Lin hurriedly came over to remind Xiang Yun that this was the sound of drums, the gathering of troops. He was about to immediately gather at the square of the five great battalions.

The two hurriedly got up and ran out of the dorm. Only then did they see that all the recruits were starting to rush towards the plaza in the middle of the camp one after another. The two also followed and ran out.

On the stage stood a tall and thin middle-aged man. He wore a dark golden armor, and his face was solemn and his eyebrows were like daggers. Cold light flashed in his eyes, and his entire body was filled with a b.l.o.o.d.y, fiendish aura, which only the martial artists on the battlefield would have.

On his two sides stood Dai Hu, as well as five other officers who wore black armor and helmets similar to Dai Hu. The six of them stood obediently by the commander's side, a look of awe in their eyes.

Although this middle-aged military general was only one person, the aura he released caused the noisy scene to instantly quiet down. The crowd unconsciously went silent and all eyes were focused on the high platform.

The middle-aged general's gaze swept across the crowd. Everyone could not help but straighten their backs as they subconsciously tensed their bodies.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Di Guang, I am the commander of the fifth battalion of the new battalion. I am also responsible for the training of new recruits for the fifth battalion each year!"

Xiang Yun couldn't help but squint his eyes. This person gave him a very dangerous feeling. Although this person's aura had yet to reach the Profound Cloud Realm, it definitely could be considered to be within the Yellow Cloud Realm.

The most elite category!

At this moment, Di Guang continued, "I believe everyone has heard of, or perhaps understood, the current situation of the Cold City Pa.s.s. What I want to say to everyone is, yes, that's right, the current situation of the Cold City Pa.s.s is very dangerous, and also very urgent. Today, you have chosen to join the army, and may very likely be on the battlefield tomorrow!"

"Humph!" Di Guang let out a cold humph. A wave of ice-cold qi suddenly spread in all directions, causing the crowd to stop once again.

However, Di Guang answered for them, "I know, many of you are not here to protect your families, nor do you come here to build your own businesses. You are here to survive, you are here to support your families!"

Everyone looked at each other. Apparently, they had been told what they were thinking!

"But do you know that if you choose to leave, your lives will be gone and so will your homes!?" Di Guang's expression was solemn, his voice low and slow!

"The country cannot be restored, and home is safe? The Wind Cloud Country is in its golden age, and the people live and work in peace. However, the barbarians in the north are like a sharp sword that hangs over our heads. He threatens our country day and night! Many people have said that the barbarians were coming. What I want to say is, this is not the first time, and it will not be the last.

"If even you, if even you men, the true hope of Wind Cloud Nation, are afraid! He was afraid! He retreated too! "Then, you will push your family, your wives, children, and children down to the slaughter of the barbarians. You will allow them to slaughter you, trample you, and s.e.xually abuse you under the hooves of your horses!"

Di Guang looked at everyone. His eyes were also burning with anger, and his killing intent soared to the heavens!

Now that you have entered the Cold City Pa.s.s and have become new recruits, you have to be mentally prepared. You have to come here to protect your family, to protect your country, to kill your enemies, to build a foundation, to give your lives to your country. You have to use your flesh and blood to block all enemies.

"Bravehearts are invincible!"

"Bravehearts are invincible! The Bravehearts are invincible! " The atmosphere in the audience was instantly roused as they followed suit and shouted! The fear, fear, and panic in his eyes had all turned into a burning desire for battle!

Then, Di Guang said, "Since everyone has this determination, I hope that in the coming recruits' training, you all will do your best."

Then, Di Guang left. The six people who stood beside Di Guang before were, other than Dai Hu, the Battalion Commanders in charge of the recruit training. At this moment, they were leading their Battalions' new recruits back to their respective campsites and lecturing them.

As he was leaving the plaza, Xiang Yun caught a glimpse of Dai Hu standing on the stage, and he happened to be looking at himself amidst the crowd. When he saw Xiang Yun standing there unperturbed, Dai Hu's expression froze for a moment, while Xiang Yun turned around and gave Dai Hu the middle finger!

Hongfei announced some rules to the group and told them that the new recruit training had changed from one month to half a month due to the tense situation. Therefore, the training had become more intense and everyone had to be mentally prepared.

At the same time, he also said that it was forbidden to fight amongst themselves in the military, otherwise everything would be dealt with according to the military law.

In the end, Hongfei told everyone that the time and place for tomorrow's gathering had been dismissed.

Although Xiang Yun was lying on his bed at night, he was still researching on the Illusionary G.o.d Cone's cultivation. He would use the Turtle-Breath Technique to enter the fetal state in the latter half of the night, and during this process, his spiritual will and his Yun Li would continue to rise continuously. Right now, he was in a hurry to improve his fighting prowess.

At the same time, at the highest point of the Cold Wind City's city gate tower, a tall and st.u.r.dy man dressed in blood-red armor beside a table filled with bamboo scrolls put down the secret report from Tiger City. He could not help but rub his forehead as he cursed in a low voice.

"General, did something happen in Tiger City?" A military general stood respectfully by the man's side. He was none other than the contestant who had brought Xiang Yun into the new barracks today, Feng Hongyi!

A secret message came from the frontline of the tiger city. A barbarian trading company in the tiger city has already been controlled by the imperial government and is being used to gather intelligence while creating a disturbance in the water of the tiger city. This is to force the defending army of Han City to take action!

"It seems that the barbarian race is invading from the south. It's becoming more and more obvious." Feng Hongyi said worriedly!

"General Xiang, we may be saying that, but we don't have the strength to deal with the barbarian army. I'm afraid we can't act rashly."

I have already informed Silver City that the Snow Wolf Cavalry has made preparations to head north. Once the barbarians invade from the south, they will come to the Cold Mountain Pa.s.s to support us.

"General is wise!"
