Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"Didn't you expect that?" Niu Da's sharp eyes scanned the crowd, and many civilians dared not look at him.

He shouted coldly, "I can tell you clearly that the number of people selected this time is 300, and more than 700 of you will be eliminated."

These words instantly made the civilians nervous, and the number of 300 selected made them all look around vigilantly.

"The army doesn't want the weak, the lazy, and the moths who come here to eat and die." Niu Da's voice became louder and louder, and continued to put pressure on the civilians. "The city lord attaches great importance to this conscription, so work hard."

The civilians all turned their heads to look at the city lord who was not far away, which made the civilians feel more stressed, praying that they could pass the test and become a soldier.

Niu Da held the Tang Dao on his waist with one hand, and shouted, "This test is running, no petty movements are allowed, and those who discover it will be punished depending on the seriousness of the situation, and those who are serious will be beheaded."

These words made the civilians shrink their necks, for fear that they would accidentally make a mistake, and the other soldiers would not take it seriously, and lose their lives.

"Let someone prepare it." Niu Da turned his head and told Niu Er.

"Okay." Niu Er turned around and set off with the veterans. He put eyeliner outside the training ground to observe the recruits and arranged for people to lead the race.

"Now, get ready..." Niu Dagao raised his hand, swung it down violently, and shouted, "Start running."

"Tat Tat Tat..."

In an instant, more than a thousand civilians began to run, scrambling to run ahead, and under the leadership of the veterans, they began to slip around in circles on the training ground.

"Master, how long do you want them to run?" An Li raised her head and asked curiously. This was the first time she heard that recruiting subordinates needed to run. Isn't it just to test their swordsmanship expertise?

"Run until you can't run anymore, the first three hundred people will be selected." Liu Feng said lightly.

"Master, can't you recruit more?" Mina asked suspiciously, the cat's tail flicked back and forth, and the buttocks of the fox-eared lady were twitched from time to time.

"Not yet, we have to wait until the spring of next year to recruit troops." Liu Feng shook his head, his black eyes fixed on the running civilians.

He can't afford too many soldiers for the time being, and more than 700 soldiers are already the limit of Xiyang City's support. Not to mention that there are other soldiers to support, such as the guard soldiers of the scientific research department.

Unless next year, Xiyang City develops greatly, then the army can be expanded. Besides, there is no need to rush to recruit troops now, with an army of more than 700 soldiers, he can completely fight against some big nobles.

Liu Feng quietly looked at the running civilians. At this time, many people had already started to fall behind, changing from running to walking forward. Such civilians were all invited out by the veterans and became honorable eliminations.

Twenty minutes later, more than 200 people were eliminated, which surprised Liu Feng. There were only more than 200 people. It seems that the living standards of ordinary people have improved.

Thirty minutes later, more than a hundred people were eliminated.

Forty minutes, there were five hundred people left; fifty minutes later, there were three hundred people running, more like walking than running.

"Stop it, you have persevered, you have been selected." Niu Da raised his voice and shouted.

"Yeah! That's great, I'm selected." The civilian shouted excitedly.

"It's so tiring, this is too tiring." Some civilians slumped on the ground, but their faces were full of smiles. They were strong.

"..."

"Those eliminated can leave and wait for the next conscription."

Niu Da turned his head to the dejected civilians on the other side, and shouted, "After you go back, live hard. Don't think about coming to the army for food. Today's running is only a small part of the army's training."

"Yes." The eliminated person shouted weakly, turned and left in the direction of Xiyang City.

"And you guys, line up immediately and prepare to enter the barracks and receive your daily necessities." Niu Da shouted at the casual recruits.

"Get up, hurry up, take a step slower, and run a few more laps."

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't delay."

Immediately, some veterans came forward to grab people, and now we will start to baptize the new recruits in the army, so that they can adapt to the rhythm of the army as soon as possible.

"Let's go, go to the scientific research department. I heard that Fang Fang has formulated a new type of anesthetic." Liu Feng turned and walked to the carriage. This is the news from today.

"Yes." Mina, Enli and Avery followed immediately.

Chapter 0446 anesthesia = military use.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

In the carriage, Liu Feng sat in the middle, flipping through the information about the guard candidates given to her by Mao Erniang. Mina and Enri sat on either side, and Avery was driving the carriage.

"Four people in total?" Liu Feng asked Mina after reading it, "Have you met them?"

"Not yet, still under observation, this is just a tentative list."

Mina shook her head, her cat ears were turned back playfully, she pointed to a person's name on the document with her light white fingers, and said, "This bear beastman named Gaba, I am very optimistic about her."

"Oh?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and looked at Gaba's information seriously, and nodded after a while, "I have a disabled sister, and she takes good care of her. In terms of character and responsibility, the finished product volume of the weaving workshop is fine. Ranked second, the action ability is quite good, so let’s put it in the focus.”

"Yes." Mina nodded, and decided to find a time to contact Gaba, it's best to test the other party's force.

"Young master, didn't that Fangfang just go to the academy for a few days, why did a new anesthetic come out?" An Li frowned, and asked strangely, "Will he do some tricks?"

Hu Erniang immediately thought of something dangerous to Liu Feng, who made that Fang Fang a killer, and the killer who came to assassinate Liu Feng, so she had to worry.

"It's okay, he doesn't have the guts." Liu Feng shook his head with a chuckle. He had observed Fang Fang before, and the other party was a person who was afraid of death and a coward.

"An Li, there is me." Mina appeared with a saber in her hand, and said murderously, "He dares to make a small move, and I will kill him with one knife."

"..." The corners of Liu Feng's eyes twitched, Mina's murderous intent became more and more serious, maybe after becoming the director of the Security Department, she had more responsibilities.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

"Lord Liu Feng, the scientific research department has arrived." Avery shouted from outside the carriage.

"Let's go." Liu Feng rubbed Fox-Er Niang's head with his left hand, pinched Cat-Er Niang's tail with his right hand, got up and walked out of the carriage.

Mina and Anli looked at each other, their cheeks blushed for some reason, and they quickly got up and stepped forward to catch up.

Liu Feng took the three of them into the scientific research department, and walked directly to the medical research institute. After being saluted by eight soldiers outside the gate, they entered the interior of the medical research institute and saw the fangs.

"You, are you a fang?" Liu Feng stared blankly at the man in front of him, his hair was messed up like a chicken coop, his eyes were very dark circles, he was as good as Caesar, and his eyeballs were even bloodshot.

"My lord, it's me." Fangfang said hoarsely, but his expression was very excited, and he shouted, "I have researched a new anesthetic, a very strong anesthetic."

These words made Avery and Mina, who were standing beside them, tense up. Both of them touched their weapons, and their eyes were fixed on Fang Fang's hands and feet.

"What is the effect of the new anesthetic?" Liu Feng asked curiously. His early warning perception did not respond, which meant that there was no danger.

"A strong anesthetic, just a little bit, can quickly stun a person for a few seconds." Fang Fang lowered his voice.

"Oh?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, wondering, "How is it different from your previous anesthetic?"

"It's very different." Fang Fang scratched the chicken nest and explained excitedly, "My lord, the anesthetics I studied before take a certain amount of time to make people lose consciousness. I have tested the time, and it takes about five minutes. "
