Chapter 19: Massive Recruitment

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Recruit soldiers?” Upon hearing this, everyone could not help but become excited.

Now that farm work was about to stabilize, a large number of idle laborers needed to find a new job.

This was a good opportunity to recruit soldiers.

After a few months of nourishment, most of the slaves had recovered.

Especially those who were in their prime, all of them had big bellies!

“The President made the appropriate arrangements. It’s indeed time for those brats to move around.” Regiment Commander Enger clapped his hands and said.

“It’s time to prepare. In the past, we relied on a few Silver Swordsmen for the island’s defense. Once the threat comes, they will not be enough,” Steward Steve smiled and stroked his beard.

Jack smiled and said: “Don’t be happy yet. During this period of time, everyone has stabilized. It’s time to prepare for the division of families. The previous grouping system is no longer suitable.”

“Why?” Regiment Commander Enger was stunned. He was sitting quite comfortably in this position.

Moreover, he was now the only person on the island who had great power.

Seeing that Enger could not even think clearly about this matter, Steward Steve coughed and said, “After the farming period, it’s time to have children. Even if you can endure it, can your subordinates do the same?”

“What?” Hearing that, Enger smiled bitterly.

He quickly said, “It’s time to execute the plan. Otherwise, this group of people with nothing to do will fill up the houses eventually!”

“Okay, that’s settled then. We’ll start doing that after conscription. You guys go down and get ready. We’ll start today,” Jack said.

“What are the conditions for recruitment?” Enger could not help but ask.

Jack thought for a while and said, “We’ll recruit a hundred people first. The assessment method is weight lifting. You can go down and make arrangements for this. After screening, send a hundred people to the castle. Don’t ignore those who are weaker. Organize the militia as the reserve army.”

Regiment Commander Enger and Steward Steve received the order: “Understood.”

Then, Jack looked at Eugene and said, “Follow me with a few weaker Silver Swordsmen.”

After saying that, he walked out of the castle and stood in the open space.

This open space had been prepared for conscription a long time ago, and now it was handy.

Very soon, Eugene rushed over with a few Silver Swordsmen.

They stopped in front of Jack.

Looking at them, Jack said, “Watch carefully. I need you to do this later.”

With that, Jack lay on the ground and did push-ups.

Then, he did a few sit-ups.

Then, he ran a hundred meters.

Obstacle run, weighted run, horizontal bar, parallel bar, etc.

When he was done, Jack stood up, panting.

He took a deep breath and said, “Next, follow my series of actions and plan accordingly. Make a training plan that is suitable for ordinary people. You will be responsible for training those 100 people.”

The few Silver Swordsmen watched curiously.

After Jack was done, someone could not help but ask, “Mr. President, is this useful?”

“Yeah, it’s too simple. I feel like I can do more than a dozen reps in one go.”

“We have all trained in strength and swordsmanship. Can this really increase our strength?”

…

“Shut up!” Eugene roared, the aura of a Gold Swordsman emanating from his body.

Several Silver Swordsmen were instantly suppressed.

Jack waved his hand, indicating that Eugene did not have to do so.

Only then did Eugene retract his aura.

Jack did not blame them.

After all, this was a training method from another world.

It was an essential program for all soldiers.

That was enough to indicate the importance of these actions.

Then, Jack looked at them and said, “You can try it. You will gain something.”

They listened to Jack and could not help but try.

Initially, they thought that it would not be too difficult.

It was too easy.

But after a few minutes, everyone’s expression changed.

Many people’s faces tensed up.

Their movements were starting to become substandard.

Some even blushed in shame.

After doing it for a while more, someone finally could not take it anymore as he collapsed on the ground.

After a while, all of them collapsed to the ground.

Jack waited for a while. After they recovered, he asked, “How is it? What do you think about this set of training?”

“Mr. President, I was wrong. My hands are sore.”

“Yes, me too. My waist feels like it’s not mine anymore.”

“My thighs too, I feel like it’s been filled with lead.”

Eugene was curious after seeing their reaction.

…

Jack nodded and said, “In that case, you guys should familiarize yourselves with this set of movements. Next, you guys will teach these 100 people as their mentors in the early stages.”

After they agreed, Jack left the scene with Eugene.

When Jack left, everyone could no longer hold back.

The few of them sat on the ground and could not help but lower their bodies.

“What a terrifying set of movements. I feel that my entire body has been trained, and the battle aura that has gotten stagnant has also temporarily increased!”

“Me too, especially my body. After the training, I feel that my strength has increased a little. You have to know that no matter how much I trained previously, I could not improve even a little!”

“Yeah, I thought that I would be a Silver Swordsman for the rest of my life. It seems that as long as we train hard, we might be able to become a Gold Swordsman like Captain Eugene!”

“This is too magical. What kind of existence is the President? Why does he know so many magical things!”

“That’s right. I’ve completely submitted to the President during this period of time. I believe that with him leading us, we will definitely grow even higher.”

“Right, we have to work hard too. If those 100 people catch up to us, we will not be able to lift our heads!”

…

Jack, who had left, certainly did not know that they had thought so much.

But it did not matter even if he knew. After all, he had already gotten used to it during this period of time!

After leaving, Jack returned to the castle with Eugene.

Just as they stepped through the castle gate, a few Silver Swordsmen who were burning with flames rushed out crazily.

Watching the Silver Swordsmen rush out, Eugene, who was behind Jack, could not help but smile.

One had to know that he was in the same state back then, it was quite a pitiful sight!

If not for the fact that he had to follow behind the president, he would have gone over to watch this!

After entering the castle, Jack did not care about the Silver Swordsmen who ran out. He said to Eugene behind him, “Your next task is to increase the strength of the Silver Swordsmen as much as possible, and strive to promote the remaining ones to the level of a Gold Swordsman before danger comes.”

Eugene nodded in agreement.
