Lord of the Oasis Chapter 695 – Three Days of Training

Chapter 695: Three Days of Training

Aubrey and the others worked with the officers in the camp until midnight. Finally, they came up with a concrete plan.

They spent the night in the tents in the camp.

At dawn, the soldiers’ morning training was about to begin.

The soldiers who had been called out the day before formed a formation alone and kept some distance from the other soldiers.

When Aubrey arrived at the training ground with a group of people, the soldiers had just finished their morning exercises.

Aubrey walked in front of the candidate soldiers and blew his whistle. He ordered all the soldiers to line up neatly according to their height.

“Today is the first day of training. In our training course, there is not only physical training, but also knowledge training. The location you are heading to this time is very special. If you cannot grasp the basic knowledge, it will be very difficult to keep up with the pace of the team. Due to the tight schedule, the soldiers of the sixth line, followed officer Duke to carry out the cultural knowledge training. The soldiers of the first five lines follow me to carry out the scheduled physical training.” After Aubrey greeted them, he issued a mission to all the soldiers.

“Yes!” the reserve team replied in unison.

The leader of the sixth row raised his right hand and let the soldiers behind him follow him. They jogged behind officer Duke.

Aubrey watched as Duke led the team behind him into the room.

He turned around and said to the soldier in front of him, “Then let’s begin.”

The sun gradually rose to the highest point in the sky. This was the hottest time of the day.

The other soldiers had already disbanded, but the selected soldiers were still undergoing tough training.

The small area where everyone was standing was all wet with their own sweat.

Kant, accompanied by his attendants, walked in from the door of the training ground.

Adonis, who was resting under the awning, saw Kant and immediately rushed out to greet him.

“Good day, Lord Kant.” Adonis bowed.

“Yes, good.” Kant nodded, but his gaze was fixed on the army training at the southwest corner. “The soldiers have worked hard.”

“They should be working hard. Every soldier has served their country with honor.” Adonis replied righteously.

“That’s why you are respected.” Kant retracted his gaze, he smiled at Adonis and said, “Captain Aubrey reported to me that there are more than a hundred people, and there seem to be only about fifty soldiers in this training ground. What about the others?”

“The other soldiers are undergoing knowledge training under officer Duke.” Adonis replied.

“Duke?” Kant read the name and recalled it in his mind. “By the way, he was there when we went to Cumberland. He should be back in the ranks of the guards now.”

“Your Highness, did you come here to visit the soldiers who are undergoing training?” Adonis asked.

“Yes, I received Captain Aubrey’s report last night, so I wanted to come and see for myself.” Kant nodded. “Now it seems to be quite reassuring.”

“Yes. In these two days, it’s rare for us to see Captain Aubrey’s talent in training.” Adonis praised, “Your Highness, since you’re already here, aren’t you going to greet the soldiers?”

“No. It’s lunch break now. I don’t want to give them too much pressure.” Kant waved his hand and said, “Moreover, there are still many matters in the palace that haven’t been resolved. I still have to go back as soon as possible.”

“Your Highness, you are busy with government affairs every day. You still have to take care of your health.” Adonis advised.

“Yes. Indeed.” Kant replied, “Perhaps when this matter is over, I can give myself a holiday.”

After saying this, Kant ordered his attendant to arrange a carriage and prepare to return.

“Your Highness, take care.” Adonis sent Kant and the others out of the door and said goodbye.

Kant sat on the carriage, turned his head, and nodded. He did not reply.

Three days passed very quickly. During this period, Kant did not go to the military camp anymore.

When the final team members were decided, Aubrey sent a message to the palace, inviting Kant to go to the military camp to take a look.

It was already close to late autumn, and the sky was getting darker and darker faster.

Kant set out from the palace in the evening and watched the sunset on the way.

When he got off the carriage at the entrance of the military camp, the last bit of light in the sky had disappeared.

“Lord, you are here.” Aubrey greeted him at the entrance of the military camp in high spirits.

“Yes.” Kant nodded and looked at Aubrey.

Aubrey had been accompanying the candidate troops for various outdoor training over the past few days. His skin had also been tanned to a whole new level.

“You’ve worked hard these past few days.” Kant comforted him.

“It’s alright. I should be considered lucky to receive such a mission while staying in the guards.” Aubrey walked at the front of the team and led the way. Hearing Kant’s words, he turned his body and replied.

“Are you leaving tomorrow morning? Soldiers.” Kant changed the topic and asked.

“Yes.” Aubrey nodded and replied.

“The leader has been chosen, right?” Kant said.

“Yes. The soldier in charge of the leader is called Devitt. His overall qualities are quite strong.” Aubrey introduced.

“So, is tonight the assembly of the oath?” Kant continued to ask.

“Yes, so I would like to invite you, Lord, to speak a few words,” Aubrey said hesitantly.

“Every time I come to speak at the assembly of oaths, the soldiers must be tired of listening to it.” Kant said with a smile.

“How can that be?” Aubrey denied.

“I won’t say anything this time. When the soldiers go out to carry out missions, their lives are in the hands of their captain, not mine. Compared to listening to what I said, I would like to hear what Captain Devitt will say.” Kant rejected Aubrey’s request, he suggested.

“But Devitt probably doesn’t know that he will be called up to the stage to speak.” Aubrey said worriedly.

“If he doesn’t even have this little on-the-spot reaction, it will be hard for him to command a team, right?” Kant listened to Aubrey’s words and shook his head helplessly.

The two of them chatted as they arrived at the training ground.

The training ground would light up at night, illuminating the entire ground.

The soldiers’ training had already ended. At this moment, there were only 23 soldiers standing in front of the main general stage.

“Greeting, Lord Kant!”

The soldiers greeted Kant in unison after seeing him walk onto the stage.

“Hello, soldiers. You will be setting off tomorrow, right. I believe that you are very nervous to shoulder such an important task. Today, I will only be the final concluding remarks. Among them, we should first listen to your words, Captain Devitt.” Kant said as he walked onto the stage.
