"Wake up! Get up! Get up! Let's start marching!!"

The officer's loud voice reached Darlene's ears.

After hearing the officer's loud voice, Darlene immediately woke up and opened her eyes like a neurological reflex.

"Yara, how long have we rested?" Darlene stood up and asked Yara, who was sleeping next to her and was also standing up.

"Well... it should be about 20 minutes."

"Twenty minutes, it's really rare." Darlene put on a half-joking tone, "I can actually sleep for such a long time."

The recruits who were catching up on their sleep in various positions woke up one after another. It only took a few minutes to reorganize into an orderly queue and continue towards the Avalon Fortress.

The 17th Brigade, the 18th Brigade, the 19th Brigade, and the 20th Brigade of the 4th Army where Darlene belongs, a total of 4,000 recruits are undergoing "march training."

It is a kind of training that exercises the physical strength of soldiers and makes them accustomed to the rhythm of marching.

These new recruits need to put on their armor, set off from Base 1, go to Avalon Fortress, and then return to Base 1 after arriving at Avalon Fortress.

During the march, including when sleeping, you need to wear armor. The armor cannot be taken off for a minute, and it needs to be worn at all times.

Forget about taking a bath, there was no time left for the soldiers to take a bath.

Before the official start of the marching training, Darlene was still very naive and even brought over her textbooks that everyone would need to use in cultural classes.

I thought I would read a book and review the arithmetic and writing I had learned during the march.

At the same time, according to Darlene's original idea, the so-called march is to walk for a while towards the destination, and then everyone sits down to rest. Then walking for a while, and then sitting down to rest again is definitely better than wearing armor and walking around the base.

It's much easier to run around.

After officially starting the marching training, Darlene realized that she was really naive and her thoughts were so wonderful.

Walk for a while, sit down and rest for a while, walk for a while again, and rest for a while again. How can the army use this kind of marching method like children playing house?

The way to rest while marching is very special.

The rest during the march is not to stop and sit on the ground, chatting and laughing while recovering one's strength.

The main form of rest during the march is to change the speed.

Super slow march, slow march, rapid march, running forward...

The time for the soldiers to stop is numbered.

Sometimes we marched all morning or all afternoon.

Often after walking for several hours, the soldiers were allowed to stop.

The stopping time is also ridiculously short. Generally, it only stops for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the march continues.

Even though it is winter now, this is the northern border, and the soldiers have to walk every day sweating profusely and their bodies are extremely hot.

During the marching training, Darlene had never been so eager for snow.

If it snows, the snow flakes falling one after another on their bodies will make their bodies cooler.

During the march, Darlene once again felt the power of human beings and realized that human beings are indeed highly adaptable creatures.

On the first day of the official marching training, she felt that she was almost dead from exhaustion.

On the second day, she felt like she was getting used to it.

By the fourth day, she felt that she could barely adapt to such intensity of training.

During this extremely abnormal marching training, Darlene even developed the ability to sleep soundly no matter where she is or at any time.

Marching training is very hard, which not only consumes a lot of physical energy, but also causes great mental torture.

The little sleep time at night is simply not enough.

In order to recover as much strength as possible, we can only seize the few "stop" times every day.

Under the pressure of such an environment, most soldiers, including Darlene, have developed the ability to sleep in various places, at various times, and in various postures.

You can fall asleep while sitting, and you can fall asleep while standing.

You can fall asleep by placing your head on your hand, you can fall asleep by using a stone as a pillow, and you can fall asleep even without a pillow.

At the same time, they also developed the ability to wake up immediately when they hear the voice of their superior.

Marching training forces soldiers to develop abilities that go far beyond these.

Marching training also allowed soldiers, including Darlene, to develop the ability to "eat a meal within 1-2 minutes."

During the march from Base 1 to Avalon Fortress, almost every meal they had was a "big pot dish" that was easy to prepare, tasted good, and had good nutrition and calories.

In order to save as much time as possible for sleeping, the soldiers compressed their meal time to the extreme.

After cooking a large pot of "Bou-style cauldron", almost every soldier could finish it within 1-2 minutes and then immediately started to sleep.

Every minute and every second of "stop" time is very precious. You must seize every second to catch up on sleep. So after Darlene brought her textbook, she didn't read it for a second and kept silent.

Lying quietly between her armor and cotton-padded clothes...

…

"Run! Run!"

The high shouts of the officers continued to echo among the marching troops.

After asking the recruits to stop and rest for a full 20 minutes, the officers directly asked the recruits who had just finished their rest to run at the highest speed to march.

"Hurry up! Try to arrive at Avalon Fortress tonight! If you can successfully arrive at Avalon Fortress tonight, I will give you a big reward! That is, you will not have to train all day tomorrow!! You can have fun all day long!

! Avalon Fortress is not only a military fortress, but also a metropolis! It is one of the most prosperous cities in the north! If you can successfully arrive at Avalon Fortress tonight, then we will let you go to Avalon in batches tomorrow

Play in the city!!”

After hearing what the commander said, many soldiers' eyes lit up.

There is no need to train all day long, and you can also go to the bustling urban area to play.

Nothing is more attractive than this.

As a result, the energy and fighting spirit of many soldiers suddenly soared.

However, Darlene has little interest in the bustling urban area.

If she didn't have to train for a whole day, she just wanted to have a good night's sleep.

…

…

at the same time.

Britannia Empire, Dukedom of North Munster, O'Brien Village.

The Duke of North Munster can be regarded as one of the nobles with the highest status, the best living standard and the largest fief area among the many territorial nobles in the Britannia Empire.

A good standard of living means having money, and having money means being able to support an army.

The Duke of North Munster's private army is the largest among all the vassals in the empire, with a total of 3,000 people. The daily task of these 3,000 private soldiers is to fight against bandits and bullies of all kinds within the territory.

The Dukedom of North Munster is close to the North and is located in the southwest of the North. If there is any famous "specialty" in the Duke of North Munster, it must be the famous O'Brien family.

Known as a "genius family", but in fact this is not the case at all, the O'Brien family is located in the Dukedom of North Munster.

The O'Brien family has grown to include thousands of people, making it a veritable big family. The village where the O'Brien family members live is commonly known as "O'Brien Village".

At this time, on a certain trail in O'Brien Village, a little girl with black hair and golden eyes was running quickly.

He held a letter in his hand, and his face was filled with uncontrollable joy.

The little girl ran to a very ordinary wooden house as fast as she could, and then... no, she probably broke open the door of the wooden house.

"Dad! Mom!" After the little girl opened the door of the wooden house, she shouted into the house, "There is a letter from my sister! There is great news!"

"Did you get a letter from Deng Jiaer?" A woman with black hair and golden eyes quickly walked out of the house, "Vivian, what did your sister write in her letter?"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, an uncle just walked out of the house: "Deng Jiaer finally wrote a letter. I almost forgot the last time she wrote a letter! Vivian, your sister, she

What did you say in the letter? Also, what kind of great news is it? Did Deng Jiaer get married, give birth to a child, and give me a grandson?"

"That's right, my sister said in the letter that she found a man in Pendragon who she felt she could trust for the rest of her life. The two of them have married and given birth to a daughter. Dad, Mom, you have a granddaughter.

It’s over.”

"granddaughter!!!!!!!!"

"You're kidding." Vivian looked proud that her plan had succeeded. "My sister is not married, let alone having children."

After saying that, Vivian handed the letter in her hand to her father and mother in front of her.

"The great news is that my sister has finally taken a big step towards her dream! She has become a knight!"

"knight!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The parents of Deng Jiaer and Vivian let out even louder and shocked exclamations than before.

Then, the two of them snatched the letter from Vivian's hand. They grabbed the left and right sides of the letter and read it quickly.

There is a school in O'Brien Village that provides basic education to young people. Every young member of the O'Brien family will be forcibly sent to this school to study after they reach the age of 8, so O'Brien

Every member of the family has arithmetic and reading and writing abilities that are far above the average level of civilians.

While her parents were looking at the letter sent back by Deng Jiaer, Vivian continued:

"Sister said in the letter that she made great contributions in the empire's large-scale enemy offensive, the 'Xia Feng' offensive. Coupled with the achievements accumulated in the past, she was finally promoted to a knight in October last year!"

"My sister has been transferred to the Michael Knights. She is still hanging out with Mr. Su Cheng. She is now stationed at the Avalon Fortress in the north."

"Sister is so awesome!"

Speaking of this, a look of longing and admiration gradually appeared on Vivian's face.

"I have been working hard towards my dream, and now I have finally taken a very solid step!"
Chapter completed!
