Today, after receiving the letter brought by the messenger falcon from Blackhot City, the face of the teacher on duty changed greatly after reading the contents of the letter. He immediately summoned all the teachers and the principals of the survival training of each school. He then read the official notification issued by the military of Blackhot City in the conference room...
After hearing the notification, the previously relaxed people all became gloomy. The air in the conference room seemed to have frozen to the point that even a pin drop could be heard...
The day before yesterday, when Wild Wolf Castle welcomed the first rain in June, a major event happened in Blackhot City. On that day, the military of Blackhot City dispatched a large number of soldiers and suddenly surrounded the residence of the Niumuen Business Group on Avenue Bright of Blackhot City. They then forcibly searched the residence of the Niumuen Business Group under the pretext of searching for fugitives from the military. Unexpectedly, the military's forceful search was met with the desperate resistance of the guards of the Niumuen Business Group. Their desperate resistance was crushed by the iron fists of the well-prepared Blackhot City military. Afterwards, when the military searched the residence of the Niumuen Business Group, they didn't find any fugitives from the military. Instead, they found even more terrifying evidence. With that irrefutable evidence and the interrogation of the principal of the Niumuen Business Group in Blackhot City, a huge conspiracy surfaced — the Niumuen Business Group colluded with the Red-scarf Burglars, intending to create an opportunity for the Red-scarf Burglars to slaughter the major clans of the Coal, Steel, and Iron Federation that controlled the entire Blackhot City. They wanted to create a terrifying atmosphere in Blackhot City and support the puppets under their control to rise to power. Finally, Blackhot City announced that it would separate from the Andaman Alliance and join the Norman Empire.
The officials of Blackhot City had already reported this event to the Andaman Alliance last night, which shocked the entire Andaman Alliance. On the same night after receiving the report, the Andaman Alliance lodged the strongest protest to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Norman Empire in the name of the entire Alliance, hoping that the Norman Empire could give a reasonable explanation to Blackhot City and the Andaman Alliance. Until this morning, the Norman Empire was still silent. However, Blackhot City had already started to seal up the industries and business groups of the Norman Empire's businessmen and stopped all business dealings with the Norman Empire...
The tense atmosphere caused by the Red-scarf Burglars rose once again. Today, the military of Blackhot City officially entered the LV 1 state of combat readiness...
"Do we need to report this to the students?" After a long silence around the round pinewood table in the conference room, a teacher finally opened his mouth.
"I don't think it's necessary. When they leave here, they will naturally know what they should know. Just let these little guys enjoy the last happy moment of their lives..." Everybody in the conference room shifted their gazes towards that gentle-looking teacher. That gentle-looking teacher smiled casually. "Everybody, after being peaceful with Blackhot City and the Andaman Alliance for dozens of years, why would the Norman Empire choose to make a move at this time? Several weeks ago, all the countries in Blackson Human Clan Corridor started to raise the price of strategic materials. I'm sure you all know what this means. Is it worth all the countries in Blackson Human Clan Corridor to make such a big move for a small Blackhot City and the Andaman Alliance? "
Captain Kerlin frowned. There was something in his teacher's words. However, as Captain Kerlin was not good at intelligence and analysis, he couldn't figure it out for the time being. "Zerom, do you mean there's going to be a big battle …"
"I don't mean anything..." Zerom looked around and let out a faint sigh. "We're all small figures. We can't make any big decisions. However, I remember that it has been more than 170 years since the end of the second holy war between humans and demons..."
Holy war!
This sudden word blew into the conference room like a cold gust of -50 degrees Celsius. Hearing this word, even Captain Kerlin's face turned pale for a second …
...
This morning, Zhang Tie was not happy at all. Not only was he unhappy, but he was also very depressed. No matter who it was, if they had to dig 300 kg of ores like a groundhog, put them in a mining basket, and carry the mining basket for 1.5 km before delivering the ores to the place of delivery, no one would be happy. The iron content of the iron ore in the mining basket was between 50% to 60%. It was heavy and oppressive. When the basket was filled, it could hold up to 200 kg of iron ore. However, none of the students participating in the training had the ability to carry 200 kg of iron ore and walk 1.5 kilometers. Not to mention 200 kg, even 100 kg was a challenge. To be able to carry 50 kg of iron ore and walk 1.5 kilometers while still having the strength to mine when they returned was already considered to have good stamina. Mining wasn't difficult, a person could easily mine a few tons of iron ore in a day. However, being carried by these iron ore miners to the delivery point was a real test of one's stamina.
Zhang Tie had been busy this morning. Even with his physical strength as a LV 1 fighter, he could only carry a mining basket weighing more than 70 kg three times and walk 1.5 km twice. After completing 2/3 of today's task, he felt weak all over, and his legs were a bit soft. After carrying the third basket of ores and receiving two boxes of dried rations, he sat down under a pine tree and could no longer stand up.
After this experience, Zhang Tie swore that he would come to mine every day regardless of whether it was windy or rainy. He had to pay the minimum amount of money every day. It would be too much work for him if he wanted to pay for the three days' worth of money in one day. It was too torturous.
Just like the outside, there used to be small rails for pulling carts in the mine, but they had been torn down by some wicked bastard. The tracks of the rails were still clearly visible in the tunnel, but all the miners had to rely on their own feet to walk out of the tunnel, which was nearly a kilometer long. This greatly reduced the efficiency of mining.
As usual, after only one morning, those who wanted to experience something new had already given up. Many of them did not want to experience it for the second time after carrying the mine once.
Sitting against the tree, Zhang Tie was drinking water and eating dried rations. He slightly narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two happy squirrels on the tree above his head. These days, it seemed that they had found a group of uninvited guests in the Wild Wolf Valley and were scrambling for their pine cones for the winter. The two squirrels were even more diligent than Zhang Tie. Seeing how busy they were, Zhang Tie felt a bit embarrassed. He was also the one who was scrambling for their food for the winter. Compared to the two squirrels, he was far less diligent...
… …
On the first day after the rain stopped, all the students became as busy as machines. For most of them, this survival training could hardly be associated with happiness. In a mountain cave more than 10 km away from Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie leaned against the tree and ate his dried rations while Glaze and his companions were doing something that was not even related to happiness...
At this moment, the ground in the mountain cave was covered with blood. After the female wolves who were breastfeeding a pile of pups were killed by Glaze's sword, the pups, which were not much bigger than puppies, were also killed by Glaze. Finally, he stomped on the head of a pup that wanted to bite his heel, causing the howls of the pack of wolves to stop.
The moment the howls stopped, Sharon and Zuhair rushed in. They carefully avoided the wolf blood on the ground. Like Glaze, Sharon and Zuhair 'er's skin had turned dark green, as if they had been smeared with some strange juice.
"Let's hurry up. If the pack of wolves comes back and finds us, it will be too late..." Sharon said.
"Glaze, your shoes have been stained with wolf blood. You can't wear them anymore, otherwise, the wolves will find you. Now, let's hurry up and wash off the juice of the bitter taro root and bloody wolf flower. We can't let anyone know that we did this..." Seeing a pup crushed by Glaze's foot, Zuhair hurriedly shouted. Hurriedly, Zuhair took out a waterproof bag from his coat and opened it. Using two fingers, he took out a small piece of a towel and threw it onto the ground.
Glancing at the wolf pups' blood on the soles of his shoes, Glaze swore and quickly left the lifeless wolf's den with Sharon and Zuhair.
"Have you finished your task?" Glaze asked Zuhair before leaving.
"Don't worry, I've already arranged the rest of the towel fragments. As long as the wild wolves follow the scent route provided by the fragments, they will definitely find Zhang Tie on his way back to his tree house. These wild wolves are very vengeful and cunning..." Zuhair sneered. "If a common soldier is targeted by a pack of wild wolves and bitten into pieces, it has nothing to do with us!"
"Hahaha..." Glaze and the other lackeys burst out into laughter...
