Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 994 - 61: Military training is just about taking them out to train!

As for military training, Wang Yunxiao couldn’t say he’s particularly familiar with it, but he’s basically got it down to a T.

After all, he had served in the army before he crossed over.

To get a unit up and running, the three most important things are being ruthless, loyal... Oops, wrong script.

The three most important things are money, food, and guns.

With these three things, you can have a unit.

Now that the unit is in place, with money, food, and guns all taken care of, the problem is how to get these Qilin Army grunts to follow his command.

The battalion structure of the Qilin Army is a bit different from the battalion structure of later generations. It still follows the "Grand Camp" and "Grand Company" system from the Former Dynasty. A full Grand Camp has three thousand men, and a full Grand Company has around five to six hundred men.

Within a Grand Company, there is an "Elite Company" commanded by Xiang Biao, composed entirely of Garrison Soldiers, and a "Guard" of equal size, with about a hundred men in a guard.

Don’t ask whether this makes sense scientifically, their design has certain historical factors. For instance, in the past Willow Camp recruited local Tianmen boys with extremely stringent recruitment standards. But on another note, these selected elite soldiers were hard for ordinary people to control.

Mu Yushu promised Wang Yunxiao a company of men, which refers to a Grand Company, with a full roster of about five hundred men, excluding logistics troops.

Now, precisely when the junior officers of the Qilin Army were being purged, almost all the structures were disrupted, so Wang Yunxiao faced minimal resistance when picking people.

But it can’t be said there was no resistance at all.

These Qilin Army soldiers are generally over twenty years old, making him look overly young standing before them.

Being young naturally means lacking authority.

Now that they’ve been intimidated, they dare not resist, but once they come to their senses, who will care about a kid like you?

Oh, you say you’re going to be the company commander, and that’s that? Who do you think you are, a chicken feather?

Wang Yunxiao completely understood this mindset, so from the very beginning, he didn’t adopt an overbearing posture.

After calmly introducing himself, Wang Yunxiao completely ignored the surprised, indifferent, or provocative glances, and said seriously, hands behind his back, "The young general’s intention is to let me select a company from among you for training. I know you’re not very willing, and I understand that, since you don’t know who I am."

"So let’s solve this problem simply——In a while, you’ll go on a run with me. If anyone doesn’t want to follow me, just hang at the back of the troop as dead weight, and then I can righteously kick you out, and report it accordingly. We all get what we want, how nice is that?"

Someone immediately asked: "Instructor Wang! Do you want us to do loaded training?"

"Loaded? You? No need."

Wang Yunxiao waved his hand with a smile: "The environment here is rather harsh, I’m afraid your bodies won’t hold up with loaded training. We’re just going for a run, don’t need to bring anything. You can run in vests and shorts if you want."

Their gazes instantly turned malicious.

For a formal unit of the Qilin Army to be looked down upon by a kid.

Among soldiers, it’s all about pride, and the more nonchalant Wang Yunxiao’s tone was, the more they felt humiliated.

What’s this talk about going for a run?

If you don’t want to be picked, hang at the back as dead weight?

Is that how people talk?

Are you at a market picking out piglets?

Whether I bother to deal with you is one thing, but dismissing people like this is another.

Someone immediately shouted: "Instructor Wang! Just running in circles is boring, let us bring equipment!"

"If you want to bring it, go ahead, no one’s forcing you, it’s all up to you."

So the soldiers from a guard turned away and walked off.

The others also followed suit.

Running without gear, bare-chested, is the same as having two tiny rolls for breakfast.

If Little Instructor Wang wants to show some dominance, let him. It’s good for him to see that not just anyone can be an instructor at the Qilin Army’s camp.

Wang Yunxiao checked his watch and told Wang Ying, "You’re still hurt, go find a place to rest. You’re not joining us this time."

Wang Ying was very reluctant, "It’s just a flesh wound, it didn’t hurt my internal organs. If they can run laps, so can I!"

"It’s a long run."

"I can handle however long it is! I can run all day!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Wang Ying was full of confidence.

Kids have simple thoughts, not thinking straight.

Once everyone was ready and gathered in the camp, Wang Yunxiao looked at the military display in front of him and nodded, it was indeed much tidier than before, adding quite a bit of momentum.

There was a real sense of lethal energy.

If it hadn’t been for this temporary purge, they should have charged into the Demons’ world today, unleashing a staggering force. To let those overconfident Demons personally feel what true Hell was.

But now, it’s their turn to feel it.

"Everyone’s ready? Follow me!"

Wang Yunxiao chuckled, "Still the same, no need to force yourselves, if you disagree or feel weak, just follow at the back or go back to sleep, no problem!"

"I just need a Grand Company, five hundred people, you don’t have to try too hard to impress me. After all, the Qilin Army has already been declawed, disbanded, with its soul flown away. No matter how poorly you perform, I can understand!"

Understand my foot!

The more he talked, the more outrageous it got.

If earlier everyone was slightly dismissive of the new young guy, now they were gritting their teeth with frustration.

What sharp words, does he take us for fools? Can’t we hear the sarcasm?

"Come on, I’ll lead, just follow me."

Without waiting for them to prepare more, Wang Yunxiao turned around and left.

He didn’t even start running, just a few steps and he was at the camp gate.

Veterans with some insight already had their expressions changed seeing this scene.

"Iron Sparrowhawk..."

"Damn, this little rascal is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger!"

"Follow! We can’t let this little brat look down on us, isn’t this just a training run? No big deal."

"Wait... did he mention how long this run would be?"

Soldiers who first kept pace with Wang Yunxiao started asking, "Instructor Wang, where does this run end?"

"Huh? Didn’t I say?"

Wang Yunxiao looked surprised: "The run ends when we circle around West Spring Mountain, didn’t you usually do this kind of training?"

"West Spring Mountain is eight hundred li around!"

"That’s an exaggeration, all talk, not reliable. Last time I was here, I measured it—it’s only about 200 to 300 kilometers around."
