Zhong Weiyi objected, and Shao Diancheng remained silent.
Ding Kui knew that Shao Diancheng had something to say, so he advised Zhong Wei: "It's better to let him explain his reasons. If it makes sense, you might as well consider it."
"Since the master wants to hear it, just tell me." Zhong Wei said to Shao Diancheng with a dark face.
"Ahem, cough," Shao Diancheng cleared his throat, "I know that increasing the casualty rate is a dangerous thing for new recruits, but isn't it necessary to face life-threatening things as a soldier?
Becoming a soldier means specializing in fighting. The real battlefield is much harsher than the training ground. Only those who dare to risk their lives during training have a greater chance of surviving the battlefield.
There are indeed many prospective combatants in the training camp, but many of them are just getting by, which wastes a lot of Commander Zhong's time, resulting in a very low success rate for each assessment.
Now it is better to increase the casualty rate of training, scare away some timid people, and improve the efficiency of the training camp. Then the success rate of the next assessment will definitely be greatly improved."
After hearing this, Ding Kui did not rush to a conclusion, but asked Zhong Wei, "What do you think?"
"Originally, the private army of the nobles was not very dangerous, but now the situation faced by Juyang City is different. Alas, my subordinates cannot bear to let the new soldiers be injured in their own hands." Zhong Wei did not deny that what Shao Diancheng said was in line with the actual situation, but
He glanced at Shao Diancheng with a complicated expression.
"What kind of situation the territory encounters needs to be explained clearly to all the citizens. The recruits also have the right to know. Those who are afraid of danger can quit or join the auxiliary army. The new city will also need the Public Security Bureau and the Urban Management Bureau in the future. I can arrange whatever they can.
Arrangement. The only one is to train quasi-combatants to increase the casualty rate."
Seeing that Zhong Wei did not stick to his position, Ding Kui decided to adopt Shao Diancheng's suggestion.
"If you are afraid of death, don't join the army. If you shed some blood during training, you can save your life on the battlefield." There is such a slogan on the wall of the training camp.
The river north of the new city was named "Hope River" by Ding Kui. When it is calm, the water is clear and transparent, and you can see a variety of fish swimming among the aquatic plants. However, occasionally a double-tailed crocodile will swim by, and most people dare not play in the river.
When the weather is hot, Ding Kui likes to swim in the Hope River the most. The water here is far less rapid than the Tongyuan River, and there are no debris discarded by humans in the cool river water. You can also dive into the water to practice magic and study fighting spirit.
After chatting about business, Ding Kui took Zhong Wei to the Hope River for a swim, saying he wanted to relax and comfort the training camp commander who had a grudge against the new military training policy.
"I know what you are thinking. I never did such dangerous training in the 201st Division. Even the Eighth Army would not do such training, but there is nothing I can do."
Ding Kui flicked his finger in the water, and the Dou Qi Dragon shot out rapidly, moving silently through the river. On the water surface, a white line could be seen extending rapidly under the water, just like a gun being launched.
Puff, puff, a two-tailed crocodile flew out of the river and swam desperately to the shore. The white line in the water was not far away from it.
"Congratulations, young master, the Ding family finally has another master knight!" Zhong Wei blushed, seemingly more happy than himself to be promoted to the master knight.
There are only a limited number of people who know that Ding Kui is in seclusion, and there are even fewer people who are sure that he has advanced. Obviously Zhong Wei is not among the insiders.
"I will try my best to protect every territorial citizen and every inch of territory, but it is not enough for me alone. Many more people have come forward to fight side by side with me to defend their homeland.
There are more and more signs that our people plan to attack Juyang City, and the time left for us to prepare has entered the countdown stage. I have to give up the insurance approach and would rather be more aggressive to protect more people." Ding Kui floated in the center of the river.
, I don’t see him trying to tread water.
He just wanted to scare away the two-tailed crocodile. Now such a low-level monster can no longer arouse his desire to hunt. It also means that Zhong Wei will know his secret, which proves that he still treats Zhong Wei as a confidant.
.
"My subordinates understand! What is hateful are those who plot against Juyang City! Starting tomorrow, I will increase the amount of training." Zhong Wei's unhappiness just now has disappeared, and now he is only thinking about how to assist Ding Kui in protecting his territory.
Beep, a sharp whistle sounded in the new city.
Zhong Wei's face changed slightly, he pulled out a whistle from his neck and blew twice quickly.
"What's wrong?" Ding Kui knew it was not a good thing.
"It's Lao Qian who is looking for his subordinate. There must be something urgent."
"He's looking for you in a hurry?"
Ding Kui released his mental power and checked the direction of the new city, and sure enough he found someone approaching quickly.
"Is the young master here?" Old Qiantou shouted from a distance.
"I'm here! Grandpa Qian."
Whoosh, Ding Kui jumped up from the water, and landed on the shore in the next breath, with a red light flashing on his body, and he was using his fighting spirit to force the water out of his underwear.
Qian Bu was over seventy years old, but his skills were still strong and he was almost running on the weeds. He arrived not long after confirming Ding Kui's location.
"Just now the magician discovered traces of the earth-turning dragon. It is said that it is a big guy. He has released the Faith Eagle back to the Magic Guild. I know that the young master is in the new city, so I came to report to you."
"What? It's the Earth-turning Dragon again!" Ding Kui got angry when he heard the Earth-turning Dragon.
Ever since he came to Giant Sheep City, or to be precise, after he entered the grassland, he had many encounters with the Earth-turning Dragon. The worst time he encountered the Earth-turning Dragon King was that he had to use a teleportation talisman.
"This land is the strongest, and more and more people are gathering in the new city. It is normal to attract intermediate monsters to hunt for wild food." Zhong Wei nodded as Lao Qian swam towards the shore.
"Where's sister Ao Yan?"
"Miss Ao happened to be away, she should have gone back to Juyang City." Lao Qiantou immediately contacted the welfare home.
Ao Yan was arranged by Ding Kui to go to the new city to deal with intermediate monsters. Without this little white dragon, he would not be able to let so many ordinary people come to the grassland.
"In which direction? I'll go take a look." Ding Kui put on his coat.
Qian Bu pointed to the southwest and said, "Do you want me to go with you?"
"No, you stay in the city!" After saying this, Ding Kui ran out more than ten steps away.
He did not ride on the fighting dragon to fly. After all, there were human activities near the new city, and the magician he was most likely to encounter was not one of his.
"Damn it, sister, you keep coming to my place to cause trouble. These big earthworms that burrow under the ground are the most annoying!" Ding Kui cursed in his heart.
It is not possible to kill the earth-turning dragon every time you find it. They just need to burrow underground and hide deep underground. Ding Kui, Ao Yu, and Ao Yan can't do anything. Only those at Jiang Tong's level can guide water into the ground.
Then it turns into water fighting spirit to attack.
It was already afternoon, the sky was cloudless, the sun was shining fiercely, and the line of sight above the swamp was clear, and only a person could be seen jumping forward.
Eleven miles southwest of the large grassland, a large group of skylarks flew around in all directions. This timid bird is the most easily frightened.
The jumping man stopped and stood on the grass because he saw someone flying towards him in the air.
"Run back quickly!" Flying in the air was a black-robed magician, waving and shouting as he flew, "There's an earth-turning dragon in front of you! Turn around quickly!"
"Hey, City Lord Ding, it's you. Why are you using your bare hands? There's a level 5 earth-turning dragon in front of you!" The magician approached and saw clearly the person standing on the grass.
Ding Kui had just swam from the Hope River. His weapons and armor were all in the space ring and he had not taken them out.
"Your Excellency Zeirong, how far ahead are there earth-turning dragons? How many level five ones?" When he sees a magician, he will bow his hands and salute, and all the magicians who know him are used to it.
Zuorong belongs to the Giant Sheep City Magician Guild and is an air staff-wielding magician. Because of his relatively fast flying speed, he often goes to the observation point in the base to monitor the presence of monsters.
"Hey, how many more? You don't even have any weapons, and you can't beat even a level 5 one! I guess there is a nest of four or five of them, big and small, the biggest one is level 5." Zhe Rong flew to Ding Kui.
It stopped behind.
One is that it is disrespectful to Ding Kui, and the other is that if a monster comes after him, Ding Kui can bear it first.
Ding Kui turned around and asked: "How far is it from here? Are all the nests chasing you? Are there a large number of earthworms in the middle of the swamp?"
"I didn't dare to get too close. I only saw the largest earth-turning dragon spotting me. It should be three or four miles away from here. This year's ground-turning dragon is indeed abnormal. I will go back and ask the president to report it to the general meeting for a thorough investigation."
Seeing that Ding Kui didn't move, Zuo Rong felt embarrassed and left first.
"You go back first. A level 5 earth-turning dragon can't keep me here. I'm not afraid of them coming. At least I can run away." Ding Kui sprayed out fighting spirit armor.
Hearing Ding Kui's words, Zuo Rong felt relieved and quickly used the acceleration technique to fly forward. "City Lord Ding, take care!" the voice went away.
Ding Kui didn't leave in a hurry, he spread out his mental energy to search the area, and used his eagle eye technique to stare at Zhe Rong's back.
A nest of ground-turning dragons?
Nowadays, earthworms like to travel with their families?
Or is it that the Earth-turning Dragon developed Takowan and the population experienced a breeding spurt?
He had a lot of questions in his mind.
After Huan Qiao's warning, Ding Kui restrained himself a lot in hunting monsters and would consider whether it was appropriate before taking action. Just like in Hope River just now, he didn't kill a double-tailed crocodile because he didn't want the monsters in Hope River to disappear.
No matter what, mid-level monsters running to the outer layer of the swamp are not in line with the rules of monster activity. At most, I will only kill the big ones and leave the smaller ones instead of killing them all.
As soon as the white light lit up, he held "Yueshang" in his hand. He was sure that no one was around. It was suitable for close combat to deal with the earth-turning dragon. Otherwise, if they burrowed into the ground, Ding Kui would have no choice.
Ding Kui was still running on the grass and water, knowing full well that the earth-turning dragons were in front of him, and he would scare them away as soon as he transformed into a fighting spirit. He also carefully used his mental power little by little, as too much mental power would scare them away.
Run sensitive monsters.
There are ponds everywhere in the swamp, but you can rarely find the corpses of animals and monsters lying dead in the ponds. The scavenging creatures in the ponds will even chew off the bones, so most ponds do not have a putrid smell.
"Well, this rotten smell!" Ding Kui smelled a strange smell, "It's a nest of hungry giant earthworms!" He identified the smell as coming from the earth-turning dragon.
