43: Return to camp
"Phew." Lin Yue opened his eyes and got up to stretch his limbs.
After several days of continuous cultivation, both his body and mind were somewhat overwhelmed, but fortunately, the Killing God Art finally broke through the first layer and reached the second layer.
"name: Lin Yue
Title: Pioneer
Identity: Military General (Great Qin)
Nobility: Baron
Official Rank: Military Marquis
Cultivation Technique: Killing God Art (Second Layer 1%)
Martial Power: 42 (52)
Intelligence: 30

Reputation: 2115 (Slightly Famous)
Talent: Amiability
Skill: Discernment"
"Discernment: Able to see the opponent's five-dimensional attributes (no cooldown)"
This Discernment must be the effect after the Killing God Art broke through the first layer, allowing him to see through the opponent's five-dimensional attributes!
It's just that such a cool and awesome cultivation technique shouldn't be an offensive skill, so why did it give a supportive skill?
But this is also good; it can prevent him from being deceived by some players. Nowadays, many players cosplay Zhao Zilong or Guan Yu, swindling people. He feels that if the real Li Kui came out now, he would be mistaken for Li Gui!
Now with the skill of Discernment, it is convenient for him to identify historical figures and also to see the true strength of enemies!
It's a very good skill, and this is only the first layer!
As the sky began to lighten, Lin Yue packed his bags.
Three people, three horses, without disturbing the villagers.
Under Xing Daorong's reluctant gaze, the three set off for the Military Camp... "Great General, This humble general Lin Yue, has returned to camp!" Lin Yue walked into the main tent of the army and saluted!
"Hmm." General Meng Tian, who was in front of the desk, looked up upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "You should rest today; you'll be on duty tomorrow."
"Understood, This humble general takes his leave."
Lin Yue turned and walked out of the tent, first going to the training ground to look for Li Mu.
On the training ground, dense crowds of strong men were training. The requirements for cavalry were far higher than for infantry, and the requirements for the White Horse Righteous Cavalry were even more stringent!
Up to now, nearly one-third of the people still could not meet the standards, and Li Mu was powerless about this. Cavalry is far from being formed overnight.
"Pan Feng, how long will it take you to train a combat-ready cavalry unit?" Lin Yue asked.
As for training cavalry, it was his first time, like a young lady riding in a sedan chair.
Even with the White Horse Righteous Cavalry' training manual, he was somewhat at a loss as to how to start, and there was no usage method on the forum yet. It wasn't like a militia camp-like building where as long as the Martial Power value met the standard, entering it would make one a militiaman.
"My Lord, they have some foundation, but not much.
Give This humble general one month, and This humble general can train a cavalry unit!"
Pan Feng concluded after careful observation.
"Then what about training a unit like this?" Lin Yue took out the White Horse Righteous Cavalry training blueprint and handed it to Pan Feng.
Pan Feng took the blueprint and his eyes widened suddenly!
"This is a special unit!" Pan Feng said with an incredulous look.
"Yes."
Pan Feng silently looked at the blueprint, which included training methods, special mental techniques, and the various equipment needed.
The special mental technique is an exclusive mental technique for special units and does not conflict with ordinary mental techniques.
When a unit cultivates the same mental technique, their cohesion, willpower, and combat power will be stronger!
Other unit types do not have exclusive mental techniques, which is also what makes special units different.
"This humble general will be able to train a fierce and elite army within three months!" Pan Feng promised after a thorough look.
"Good, then I'll leave it to you!" Lin Yue said with a smile.
"Understood!" Pan Feng cupped his hands.
"Military Marquis!" Li Mu saw Lin Yue's figure and ran over directly. Seeing two other people beside him, whose aura was not ordinary, he couldn't help but ask, "Who are these two?"
"Pan Feng, Xing Daorong, both are my personal guards." Lin Yue introduced the two to Li Mu separately.
"This is Chief Li Mu."
The three saluted each other, and Lin Yue said, "You've done well; they are all strong and robust men."
Lin Yue praised him. The Great General expanded ten cavalry squadrons this time, totaling thirty thousand men.
While he was away, Li Mu, as a Squad Leader, being able to recruit so many excellent Soldiers and these three thousand white warhorses, had greatly exceeded his expectations.
"Hehe, This humble general merely did what he was supposed to do." Li Mu said with a simple and honest smile.
"That's good, but from now on, Pan Feng will be in charge of training, and you will be responsible for inspection and logistics." Lin Yue said.
"Yes!" Li Mu did not object; he himself found training them somewhat strenuous, so being able to shed some burden was not bad.
"Alright, gather them together." Lin Yue said.
After Li Mu gathered the Soldiers, Lin Yue said:
"Everyone, I am Lin Yue, your Military Marquis!"
"I won't say much unnecessary talk, just one thing."
"He, Pan Feng, will be your instructor from now on. He will train you strictly."
"If you are not convinced, don't come to me!"
"Compete directly with him. Whoever can beat him will be the Squad Leader. If you can't beat him, keep practicing!"
"Understood!" The Soldiers burst into laughter, then responded.
Lin Yue nodded, signaling that it was Pan Feng's turn to perform.
"Now, come with me!" Pan Feng shouted loudly!
"Understood!" The sound echoed throughout the Military Camp!
Lin Yue, meanwhile, walked to a nearby archery range, preparing to practice archery.
He was afraid of embarrassing himself, so he didn't ask Li Mu to accompany him but came alone.
In battles in the game, especially when facing Xiongnu Cavalry, archery is a very important part.
Lin Yue originally thought that combat in the game was about the brave winning when two armies met, but it wasn't. Xiongnu Cavalry would first fire a volley of arrows, then continuously maneuver, looking for opportunities to shoot sneak arrows.
One side chases, the other flees, occasionally firing back a volley. Therefore, competing in archery is a very important part!
Nocking the arrow, aiming.
"Whoosh!"
Without surprise, it was another miss.
Lin Yue was unconvinced. Is a distance of 30 meters really that difficult?
He tried several more times, and although he got closer to the target each time, he never hit it once.
"To hit the bullseye, you must first achieve a calm mind, like still water."
"Your mind is not calm, which causes your hand to be unsteady."
"Also, your posture is incorrect, making it difficult to achieve good results."
Lin Yue looked in the direction of the voice and found a middle-aged man staring at him from the side.
"When drawing the bow, you must depress your front shoulder and keep it relaxed." The man took a bow and arrow from his back, drew the bow, and demonstrated for Lin Yue.
"Whoosh!"
Right in the bullseye!
"Excellent archery!" Lin Yue exclaimed.
"Come, don't move. Listen to me." The big man stepped forward a few paces to correct Lin Yue's posture.
"Keep your mind calm, breathe deeply."
"Whoosh!"
It hit the target, but not the bullseye.
Lin Yue was delighted; it was his first hit!
"Thank you for your guidance, General!" Lin Yue cupped his hands, thinking, it's indeed much faster with someone teaching!
"No problem. This general is She Jian, a Colonel under Great General General Meng Tian. You are Lin Yue, aren't you?" She Jian asked.
"Indeed, This humble official." Lin Yue respectfully cupped his hands.
A Colonel in charge of one guard of one hundred thousand men—this was the highest official rank he had encountered besides General Meng Tian!
"That night, I was by Great General Meng's side and observed that although your strength was weak, your courage was commendable. You are a fine man of my Great Qin!" She Jian said with a smile.
"Thank you for your praise, General. This humble general is undeserving." Lin Yue said with a smile.
"A true man, what is there to be undeserving of!"
"Come, keep practicing. I believe you'll be able to use it very soon!" She Jian said with a smile.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Lin Yue watched She Jian draw and shoot arrows in one fluid motion, one arrow after another, all hitting the bullseye!
He also drew and shot a few arrows himself, barely hitting the target half the time.
The two formed a stark contrast.
"She Jian truly lives up to his name; he shoots arrows as if playing." (Translator's note: 'She Jian' means 'Arrow Shooter')
"And I, too, shoot as if playing." Lin Yue couldn't help but sigh.
