CHAPTER 186: CHAPTER 184 MILITARY CAMP CULTURE_1

When Yan Xing agreed that both warring parties could come to observe the Eternal Domain’s army drills at any time, Chief Qiao She’s eyes immediately lit up, his spirits soaring.

Isn’t this hinting that we can come to observe and learn?

Yes!

We’ll come to watch every day, taking turns sending Clan Leaders to observe. After watching, we’ll model our training after theirs and go back to train our own tribe’s warriors.

It would be best to train alongside them.

We don’t ask for the same weapons and equipment as the Werewolf Tribe of Eternal Domain; as long as we can cultivate such spirit, taking Blood Crown Mountain will be a breeze.

"Thank you for the invitation, Knight Yan Xing," Chief Qiao She said, bowing to Yan Xing. "From now on, we will come every day to watch the training of the Werewolf Tribe of Eternal Domain."

The Lianzu Chieftain could certainly see Chief Qiao She’s intentions.

Since the Werewolves are training, then the Lizardmen must train as well.

If they train to the same level of military prowess as the Werewolf Tribe of Eternal Domain, the Werewolves will never be able to take Blood Crown Mountain.

Both the Werewolves and Lizardmen requested to come and watch daily, and Yan Xing had no reason to refuse.

He intended for them to watch all along.

Even better if they want to learn.

Is the military training of the Eternal Domain so easy to learn?

Running five kilometers under load every day, various strength and tactical training exercises... this forges willpower, physical fitness, and tactical literacy, all while consuming immense physical strength.

The Eternal Domain can train its soldiers like this because it ensures both quality and quantity in their three daily meals.

The Werewolves and Lizardmen also want to train like this, but can their already inadequate logistics hold up?

The more professional and specialized an army, the heavier its reliance on logistics.

If the logistics of the Werewolves and Lizardmen can’t sustain such intense training, the increased food consumption will accelerate the collapse of their supply lines.

The Lizardmen must hold Blood Crown Mountain. They absolutely cannot retreat.

The Werewolves have rarely amassed such a large army and, for the first time, have an advantage over the Lizardmen. They won’t talk of retreat lightly either.

In the end, when neither of them can hold out any longer, that will be my time to step forward, preside as a mediator, and urge them to cease hostilities.

"No problem, no problem..." Yan Xing said, laughing magnanimously. "There are no secrets here; you’re both welcome to send people to supervise. Chief Qiao She, when will you pay me the money you owe?"

Chief Qiao She said repeatedly, "We’re preparing for it; we are in the process of preparing. Please wait a few more days, Knight Yan Xing."

Yan Xing laughed heartily and said, "As long as you’re preparing, that’s good. I’d like to get the money early and return home early. Life here is really not as comfortable as in my own domain. I suppose the two Clan Leaders haven’t had breakfast yet... Come, join my soldiers for a meal."

Chief Qiao She and the Lianzu Chieftain had already been drawn by the fragrant aromas drifting from Yan Xing’s camp, making their mouths water. Although they had eaten something on their way, upon hearing Yan Xing’s invitation to eat together, both Clan Leaders immediately agreed.

Within the Eternal Domain’s Blood Crown Mountain military camp, there were dedicated kitchens and dining areas. The soldiers of the Eternal Domain ate in shifts according to a schedule. They dined within a set time before moving on to free up space for the next group.

Yan Xing led Chief Qiao She and the Lianzu Chieftain to pick up a tray each from the utensil area, then queued up behind the soldiers in the line for food.

Chief Qiao She and the Lianzu Chieftain were quite perplexed.

In the Werewolf Tribe and Lizardmen Clans, the Clan Leader has absolute authority. Whatever food there is, the Clan Leader always picks the best first.

When food is scarce, the Clan Leader eats his fill first, and the rest is distributed down the hierarchy.

Knight Yan Xing, as the commander of the entire army, is actually... actually queuing up for his meal here!

This... this is too undisciplined!

Such behavior surely damages a leader’s dignity!

However, this was Yan Xing’s territory. Although Chief Qiao She and the Lianzu Chieftain couldn’t fathom why Yan Xing acted this way, they still dutifully got in line.

When it was their turn, each received two steamed buns, three side dishes, a large piece of fried meat, a serving of soup, and a banana.

Chief Qiao She and the Lianzu Chieftain then noticed that the food on Yan Xing’s plate was identical to that of the other soldiers, with no special treatment due to his status. Of course, neither of the two Clan Leaders received any special consideration either.

After sitting down at a dining table with Yan Xing, Chief Qiao She quietly voiced his concerns.

The Lianzu Chieftain also said, "This undermines your dignity as a Lord. Allowing subordinates to sit at the same table as you will cause them to lose their reverence for you."

Yan Xing, grabbing a steamed bun and taking a bite, replied to Chief Qiao She and Lianzu, "My dignity doesn’t lie on this little dining table, and I don’t need my subordinates to feel reverence toward me. I only need you to feel reverence toward them..."

Upon hearing Yan Xing’s words, Chief Qiao She and the Lianzu Chieftain turned to look at the Eternal Domain warriors dining at the surrounding tables. There were Werewolves as well as humans. But Qiao She and Lianzu couldn’t distinguish who among them were heroes and who were ordinary soldiers. Everyone exuded a bold air, a sense of pride and confidence that made each of them seem like a powerful hero.

The two Clan Leaders suddenly felt a pressure building in their hearts. They seemed to grasp some of the significance behind Yan Xing’s actions, yet did not fully understand.

However, one thing is certain: this human possesses a unique charisma.

It’s this unique charisma that makes the soldiers here willing to be commanded by him, willing to sacrifice their lives for him.

An army where all soldiers possess the pride of heroes is undoubtedly extremely powerful.

Fearsome.

And the one who controls such an army is undoubtedly even more powerful and more fearsome.

Yes, this human’s dignity isn’t found at this dining table.

He sits here.

For everyone dining here, it is an honor.

Even Chief Qiao She and the Lianzu Chieftain felt at that moment that being able to sit there was an honor.

This feeling... it’s even better than enjoying the first bite of food in our clans!

Both leaders emulated Yan Xing, grabbed a steamed bun, and took a big bite. Instantly, a feeling of happiness filled their entire bodies. Then they ate the side dishes, sipped the soup, and tore off a piece of meat.

All our years as Clan Leaders... truly wasted!

Delicious, delicious!

If only we could eat this every day!

After breakfast, Chief Qiao She and the Lianzu Chieftain left Yan Xing’s military camp, their bellies full. They needed to report what they had witnessed to their respective leaders. Both sides had to take the Eternal Domain’s military strength at Blood Crown Mountain seriously. Attacking the Eternal Domain’s Blood Crown Mountain camp would undoubtedly result in considerable losses, followed by defeat at the hands of their waiting enemy.

Then, Chief Qiao She and the Lianzu Chieftain strongly insisted on adopting the Eternal Domain’s army training methods.

Because our opponents will surely learn!

If we don’t follow suit and learn, we’ll inevitably be surpassed in military strength by our opponents and then defeated!

The Werewolf and Lizardman leaders had all observed the Eternal Domain’s training and drills from a distance and highly approved of Chief Qiao She’s and the Lianzu Chieftain’s analysis and suggestions.

Both warring parties at Blood Crown Mountain immediately organized a contingent of their elites, to be commanded by Chief Qiao She and the Lianzu Chieftain. These two forces would be stationed near the Eternal Domain’s main camp at Blood Crown Mountain.

However they train, we will train!
