Lord of Rot

Chapter 332 Recruit Selection and Juli Boys

early morning.

"Hiccup~"

I worked hard yesterday to earn work points, and I got a full meal for myself.

After eating and drinking, Luka took a basin of water and wiped his face.

Unlike when he first came here, the lord no longer provided food, and everyone had to work hard to earn work points if they wanted to have enough food.

Although there is a lot of work in the entire territory, the work points are fixed, which means that everyone has to work harder to get work points and fill their stomachs.

Luca's work was the envy of other slaves.

Although I have to deal with those wriggling bugs every day, they move slowly and do not hurt people. Apart from chopping trees to feed, the labor load is not large. The most important thing is that there are enough work points and a lot of money.

"Are you really not going?" A boy stood beside Luka.

The boy was from the Endor Plateau. According to him, he was caught by other bandit tribes while herding sheep, and then sold to Gaoxue City as a slave.

Most of the slaves in Gaoxue City came from this way.

Although the boy wanted a job opportunity in this sericulture village very much, he had a good relationship with Luca, and he didn't want to watch his friends being teased.

After all, if Luka didn't work today, he wouldn't have work points to eat, and when he came back, he would lose the opportunity because he didn't work in the silkworm village today, and had to wait for reassignment.

Maybe I can't eat for a few days in a row.

I also heard that if they are not selected, some people will come back with injuries.

"I'm going to be a soldier!" Luca said seriously: "An adult said that I am very suitable to be a soldier."

But the young man persuaded: "Those little stewards like to make fun of our slaves. You are so thin that you can't pass their selection line."

Serving as a soldier can get paid, can have enough food, and can get rid of slavery.

It is the fastest way for slave teenagers to improve. Almost all slave teenagers participated in the first selection, but most of them were screened out in the first step, including Luca and the teenager in front of him.

Because they are too thin to qualify.

Luka shook his head and said, "I want to try it. Only by getting rid of my status as a slave will I be able to go back to find them in the future."

"beep--!!"

The sharp whistle sounded again, and the boy patted Luka on the shoulder and said, "Then I wish you success, and may the God of War bless you."

"Hmm!" Lucasson took a breath and walked towards the direction he had already inquired about.

When Luca arrived, there was already a group of people gathered here.

They were all slave boys, each tall and strong.

He looked short and thin among this group of slave boys, and was easily overwhelmed by the crowd.

The exposed two thin arms made one wonder if a gust of wind would blow him, and he would be blown away directly.

A wooden box was placed in front of all the teenagers.

Wearing exquisite armor, the exquisite nobleman with long hair combed jumped onto the wooden box and looked down at the crowd.

"Everyone take your number plate!" The nobleman said loudly: "I will not tell you how many people will be selected today. It is possible that all of you will pass, and it is possible that all of you will fail! Remember, only Only a true warrior can be qualified to wield a sword for an adult!"

"Okay, follow me in line, remember to keep quiet, and those who are not quiet can go back directly."

The slave boys cherish this hard-won opportunity to change their own destiny very much.

Moreover, the slave life in Gaoxue City has already suppressed their blood nature, even if they live a freer life for such a long period of time, it has not brought much change.

Hundreds of people gathered together and formed a long line. Except for the sound of walking and the sound of clothes rubbing, there was almost no other movement.

Luca was in the middle of this group of burly teenagers, and he was very excited at this moment, because the young man in charge didn't lie to him yesterday, and he could really come to participate in the selection!

They were led to a huge clearing.

There are stacks of red bricks piled up in the distance, covered with straw and weeds to keep out the rain.

This is the newly planned area for building houses and factories, but the mason construction team is still too busy for the time being, and there is too much work to be done, so this is only a preliminary division and sorting out of an open space, which will be expanded later.

The open space is just used for selection.

Lacey looked at the teenagers who were full of expectation and desire.

With the increasing population of the two territories, Lacey and Quickblade had to speed up the training and selection of new recruits.

The expansion speed of the lord of his own family is simply beyond imagination. In less than two years, the population of two hundred people can be changed to nearly ten thousand now.

Moreover, his lord has a different way of thinking from other nobles. He is willing to bear the cost of training soldiers to build elite soldiers, instead of letting farmers carry pitchforks and iron rakes to the battlefield.

In the eyes of other nobles, militiamen are consumables with no value. If they can die on the battlefield, they can even save part of the cost.

In the eyes of the lord of his family, every population has its value, and the lord even said that farmers are the foundation of the territory, which is completely different from what Lacey has come into contact with in the past.

Lacey is also very supportive of the lord's training of soldiers, because he hopes to gain more glory through war...

The Musketeers showed great power on the battlefield, and even fought a siege of Longship Fort that shocked the entire East Gorge.

But after the war, Li Qi discussed with Lacey and others about the disadvantages of our soldiers in this war.

First of all, the number of soldiers is too small, 300 people fighting 2000 is already the limit, and considering that the opponent is frightened by the beating, morale is in chaos, and the formation is messed up. If the monkey soldiers really rushed over desperately It is hard to say whether you will win or lose in a battle where you plan to die together.

Second, the basic quality of soldiers is very poor.

It's okay to let them shoot, but the shooters trained in a short period of time don't have much close combat ability. If you shoot with your eyes closed, it doesn't matter if you hit or miss.

But when they take up weapons for close combat, the monkey soldiers can definitely pick two or three of them by themselves.

It's a pity that the monkey soldiers were frightened by their excellent equipment and armor at that time, and mistakenly thought that they were facing an elite army. They didn't know that these soldiers were mowing grass with sickles a few days before the battle.

The third point is that the monkey soldiers on the battlefield found a way to deal with the muskets as quickly as possible while facing the volleys of muskets. After the Battle of Longship Fort spread, other lords would definitely notice the muskets.

When there is a war in the future, there will definitely be combat methods against muskets, so it is not advisable to use muskets as the core weapon.

In the world of magic, doing science is more or less meaningless.

With the level of Li Qi's nine-year compulsory education, he can't develop any high-level weapons, so for him, hot weapons are just rare soldiers, which are used to assist, and what really needs to be improved is the basic quality of soldiers.

If you can pull out a team of thousands of extraordinary soldiers, all the shells and muskets are useless!

If there is a legendary team of thousands of people, Li Qi dares to directly rule this planet, and develop towards alien planets, see if there are fairy Chang'e and monster moon rabbits on the moon.

Lacey's selection method is very simple and straightforward.

He directly pulled in a team of hundreds of porcupine soldiers.

There are 6-9 slave teenagers in each group.

Managed and selected by a soldier.

There are no standards, and whether they pass depends entirely on how the soldiers responsible for the selection measure themselves, but if the selected recruits are too watery, the veterans will be punished.

We are not relatives or relatives, and of course veterans will not be willing to be punished for slaves.

After the whistle sounded, one hundred teams separated into small circles.

Lacey turned her head to look at the young soldier closest to her, Carrot.

Radish is the lord's entourage, and he works very seriously.

In addition to not being particularly strong physically, he has a strong learning ability and excellent fighting skills.

Radish is in charge of the selection of the six slave boys this time.

"You come first!" Carrot said, pointing at one of the slave boys.

The first slave boy who was pointed out took a deep breath.

"Ah!" He yelled and rushed towards the carrot, raising his right fist as soon as he stepped forward, screaming while running.

Radish stood there without moving, and when the slave boy rushed forward with his fist raised, he suddenly stepped out with his right foot and placed it under the slave boy's feet. .

The slave boy fell and ate shit, lying on the ground.

"Come again!" Luobo waved to the slave boy, telling him to get up and continue fighting with him.

The boy got up, wiped the dirt off his mouth with his hands, and roared "Ah" again, and jumped at the carrot.

The result is self-evident, and fell heavily to the ground again.

After falling seven or eight times in a row, the slave boy lay on the ground and couldn't get up.

Radish didn't look at him, but pointed to the second slave boy: "Come here!"

This slave boy was completely different from the first one. He was short but strong, and belonged to the stocky type.

He cautiously walked in front of Luobo, bent down abruptly and lowered his head, he opened his hands and tried to wrap his arms around Luobo's waist.

Radish reacted in time and dodged sideways.

Then he stretched out his hand to hold the opponent's back, and with a push, the young man rushed forward and was pushed, and fell directly to the ground.

No need for carrots to remind him, the stocky slave boy got up again. He patted the soil on his trouser legs, turned around and rushed towards carrots again.

It's a pity that he couldn't touch the radish several times in a row, and instead threw himself with injuries all over his body.

Then the third, the fourth...

Lacey watched from the side and nodded secretly.

In terms of fighting skills and seriousness in doing things, carrots are deeply appreciated by him.

On the other hand, other soldiers are not as serious as carrots.

For example, there is a veteran in the distance, who seems to be a veteran when Lild was alive.

He himself squatted under the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool, and casually directed the eight slave boys to fight each other.

"Haha, beat his eggs, yes, that's it!"

"Kick his ass, idiot!"

"Nose, nose to elbow! Beautiful!"

The veteran seemed to be watching a wild animal fight, he danced excitedly.

The eight slave teenagers were injured in different degrees, but everyone gritted their teeth and persisted in order to win the final victory.

Lacey continued to turn her head.

Every soldier has his own selection criteria, and he has no intention of interfering at all.

As long as they can pick the right soldiers, nothing else matters.

Even though he had followed Li Qi for a long time, in Lacey's eyes, a slave was a slave, and he thought it was worthwhile to exchange the deaths and injuries of several slaves for an excellent soldier.

It's a pity that the lord specifically emphasized that death and disability are not allowed.

If you can't be a soldier, you go back to farming. Every slave is bought with money, and they must be kept alive.

Lacey set her sights on the team where the skinny and boneless slave boy was.

The reason why I remember the other party is that the lord specifically mentioned this boy to Lacey last night. The lord hopes that the boy can participate in the selection, otherwise, according to the past selection experience, it is absolutely impossible for a thin boy who looks like he can be blown away by a gust of wind allowed to participate in this selection.

"Come one by one!" The veteran's selection method is similar to that of carrots, all of which are done by himself.

"You first!"

The first slave boy who was spotted rushed forward.

The veteran himself punched the slave boy in the face, and the slave boy immediately lay down on the ground motionless.

He was knocked unconscious by a single punch!
He was much more ruthless than Carrot, and the nose of the slave boy who fell to the ground was deformed, looking extremely miserable.

"You!" The veteran pointed to the second slave boy.

The young man looked at the unknown person on the ground with some fear, swallowed, and rushed up.

The veteran caught his fist with one hand and circled around fiercely, and pulled the slave boy's arm behind his back, pressing it on the back of his head.

Pushing hard.

"Boom!"

The slave boy was pinned to the ground.

The veteran immediately put his knee on the slave boy's head, raised his fist, and punched the slave boy's ribs twice in a row.

"I admit defeat! Help!" the slave boy yelled in pain.

The old soldier spat: "I can't stand the pain, and still want to be a soldier?"

He stood up and ignored the slave boy who was lying on the ground crying, and then said to the rest of the people: "If you are afraid of pain, suffering, and burden, you can go back and continue to be slaves now! Fall on me hand, whether you are qualified or not, I will beat you until you vomit blood."

He licked his lips and said: "I just hate you lowly slaves! Why do you have to be soldiers? Being a soldier is to change your destiny. You are afraid of pain, death or fatigue? You should rot in the mine for the rest of your life!"

The eyes of the remaining slave boys turned slightly red when they heard these words.

"Come on!" As soon as the veteran said, a slave boy rushed forward.

He had just run two steps when the veteran lifted his foot and kicked him in the chest, and his buttocks flew back three feet before he fell heavily to the ground.

But the slave boy was obviously aroused by the veteran's insulting words just now, and he got up enduring the pain, and rushed towards the veteran again regardless of the blood on his mouth!

"Boom!"

"Dong dong dong..."

I got up more than ten times in a row and got kicked and got up again.

Until he can't move at all.

"Your bitch bones are still hard."

The veteran grinned, and then looked at the next one: "That skeleton, it's your turn."

Luca, who was named, stood up.

After a few battles just now, Luca found that the veteran especially liked to raise his feet to kick people's chests, so when he rushed over, he crossed his arms to block his chest.

"No brains, just run forward?" The old soldier raised his foot in disdain, but he did not dare to use all his strength when he remembered the order, for he was really afraid of kicking the stick-like guy to death.

He kicked Luca's arms with a little strength, but the scene of Luca being kicked flying did not appear.

"Block it!" The veteran was startled.

A huge force came back from under the veteran's feet, rushing towards his body.

Then the veteran found himself in the air.

He was actually knocked into the air!

"Boom!"

He fell to the ground, and the veteran quickly came to his senses. He just wanted to stand up and fight back, when he saw Luka jumping up and riding on him, swinging his two thin arms, punching down one after another.

Although the arms were slender, the explosive power shocked the veteran.

He blocked it once with his arm, only to feel that his arm was about to break!
The veteran turned his head hastily, wiped his cheek and hit the ground with his fist, making a small dent with a "boom".

Hiss, people will really die!
The veteran dodged quickly, but he was still punched a few times, with blood coming out of his mouth.

Luka punched too fiercely, and his physical strength gradually couldn't keep up.

The veteran seized the opportunity to use his legs fiercely, and raised his hips upwards!
Luka, who was riding on him, was pushed forward and flew out.

The veteran immediately seized the opportunity to get up.

Looking at Luka who got up again, he quickly said: "Okay, you passed!"

If you don't pass, you will be beaten to death.

Lacey Sis, who was watching this scene, was shocked: "Extraordinary?"

No, he immediately overturned his conjecture. Although Luca exploded with a power far superior to that of ordinary people, he was not yet an extraordinary person. At least an extraordinary person would not be kicked away by a veteran.

No matter how weak an extraordinary person is, his body will be stronger than ordinary people, so Luca should be about to awaken to become an extraordinary person.

Selection is drawing to a close.

None of Carrot's men, who had always been kind, could pass.

Instead, the veteran who sat in the shade and watched the slave boys fight each other allowed the three to pass.

Luca's team was the only one that passed.

Looking at the hundreds of scarred teenagers in front of him, Lacey said: "Stay here and make a new record. After you get a new ID card, you can go back to your dormitory. We will gather here this afternoon."

"Yes!"

……

At noon, Lacey found the lord with the information.

Li Qi was standing by the river.

Beside him, the male servant held an umbrella to shade the sun, while the maid waited quietly with a drink.

"Come on, little guy." Li Qi took a fish from the bucket beside him, shook it and threw it into the river.

A little guy with wet hair came out of the water, hugged the fish with two front paws and lowered his head to gnaw.

The look of squinting and gnawing on the fish is very cute. You can tell from the smile on the face of the little maid beside her that she must have melted their hearts.

"Lacey" Li Qi waved to Lacey, pointed to the little guy eating fish on the water, and asked, "Look at this little guy, what can you think of?"

Lacey looked at the little guy, thought for a long time and shook his head: "Sorry my lord, I can't think of anything."

"This cute little guy is called an otter," Li Qi said, "he knows how to fish well. Do you think that if we can domesticate a group of otters, can the fishing efficiency be improved?"

Lowering the fishing net and then cooperating with the otter to catch the fish will definitely greatly improve the efficiency of fishing.

In particular, Li Qi is still unwilling to invest too much manpower in aquatic products. Small permanent workers like otters who eat fish and get paid are perfect.

"Yes!" Lacey nodded.

"I have to wait until Pitts comes back. I can't make these little guys obey." Li Qi wiped his hands and asked, "How is the selection?"

"320 qualified"

Lacey said: "There is also that young man named Luca, who is very powerful and has the potential to become a superhuman."

Li Qi nodded and warned: "Be sure to pay attention to all the slaves. It is impossible for more than 4000 people to have only one Transcendent."

"Yes, my lord!"

"Give me Luka's information tonight," Li Qi said.

Extraordinary people generally come from talent, that is, people chosen by heaven.

But more of it comes from blood inheritance, and children born to extraordinary people have a greater chance of becoming extraordinary.

Or you can take drugs like Li Qi.

It can be said that every extraordinary person is a piece of wealth, or has a piece of wealth in itself.

"Start training after tomorrow," Li Qi said, "Choose out the outstanding ones, let them eat silkworm chrysalis, improve their physique, and see the final training effect. If it is good, expand the scale of silkworm breeding, and directly add one to the soldiers' food in the future." silkworm chrysalis."

"Yes!" Lacey nodded solemnly.

He was very aware of the value of silkworm chrysalis and crabs. Although extraordinary people ate those crabs and silkworm chrysalis, their bodies would become stronger and stronger.

For porcupine collars, giant silkworms and giant crabs are extremely low-cost breeding products, and as long as there is enough food supply, they can be cultivated on a large scale in a short period of time.

Especially silkworms.

Spinning silk can be made into silk, silkworm chrysalis is rich in high protein, and is full of treasures.

The only problem is this dense forest, I don't know if it can support it.
