12 Training (1/2)

With the militia class change completed, Ouyang Shuo was ready to take them out leveling for the first time.

He led the group of people out of the barracks. He rode the poor horse and was in front of the new squad. General Shi rode his yellow horse and followed behind. Farther behind were the ten militiamen in leather, holding long spears in their hands.

Along the way, the villagers paused and stopped working, judging the militia who had undergone a big change.

“Hey, Niu Wazi, I have to enter the army! I did not know sire was recruiting people!”

“Don’t they look good! I have seen few armies so domineering. That armor is sparkling! Without acting, they could blind the enemy!” This was said in a jealous voice.

“Wow, we finally have an army. We won’t have to worry about wolves when cutting down wood. One thrust of a spear, the beasts will definitely die!” This was said in a happy voice.

“Wow, the general is handsome!” Auntie, please do not join in the fun...

“You have no taste. I feel our lord sire is more handsome. That marvelous stubble, the dirty linen clothes, that skinny horse, ah, ah, people cannot stand it, so handsome.” Auntie, are you boasting about me, or damaging me, ah? The great lord sire had an injured expression.

The recruits looked straight ahead with wide eyes, eyes not deviating. Their ears were opened wide, quietly taking in the words of praise and remembering them in their hearts. They followed Ouyang Shuo’s black face on his skinny horse, who led them quickly away.

For this time, Ouyang Shuo elected the leveling site to be the west side of the woods. This would not only give the team exercise, but also remove hidden dangers for the lumber teams, serving two purposes. While riding, he looked at his own stats.

His time had been spent busily building his territory up. As such he had not taken a step out of the village, and was still at the beginner level of 6. Personal adventure mode players were already breaking level 15.

Teams of high-end players had finally been able to slowly kill enemies, getting the money and equipment needed to promote their strength and growth. From now on, the strength of high-end players was going to enter a relatively rapid growth period.

However, he wasn’t anxious at all. Lords had never relied on grinding to advance, but military action. Lords whose soldiers fought the enemy got 5% of the experience. In one battle it was easy to gain 3 or 4 levels quickly.

The group marched for half an hour and came to the primary logging field. They got off their horses and left them at the logging field and headed into the woods.

Their first encounter was with a pack of wild dogs. Ouyang Shuo looked at their stats with his basic assessment skill.

Name: Ordinary Wild Dogs

Level: 3

Skills: Bite, Pack

Evaluation: The dogs use teamwork to capture prey, their individual combat effectiveness is limited.

The level of wild dogs was only 3, just useful to train up low levels.

In front of this group of eight wild dogs, Ouyang Shuo told General Shi to select two men, each to take out a dog alone. The rest of the militia would split off to deal with the remaining five.

Seeing a wild dog charge his way, Ouyang Shuo did not retreat. Settling into his stance, hands on his spear, he followed the incoming dog’s path. As the dog leapt at him, his iron spear stabbed, straight into its neck.

Unfortunately, the spear barely went into the dog. The weight of the animal plus the force of its leap passed a huge amount of force into the spear, and he almost lost his grip.

Luckily, the dog was injured. Ouyang Shuo quickly pulled the tip out as he deflected it to his right side. As it landed, he thrust again, and pierced it dead.

“System Notification: Congratulations to player Qiyue Wuyi for killing an ordinary wild dog, your reward is 300 experience points.

To get to level 7, he needed 5900 xp, so he needed to kill 20 dogs. Using the basic collection technique, he harvested the dog’s body, and got a piece of wild dog skin.

[Broken Wild Dog Skin]: Quality 1, can barely be used to make clothing.

On the other side, General Shi was directing the two solo soldiers, and their two dogs were stabbed to death. To the side, the rest of the militia were fighting.

As it was their first time fighting, their performances were naturally miserable, and he was scolding them scathingly.

“Stupid, hold the spear stably! If you cannot even hold your own weapon, go home and be a farmer!”

“And you, aiming at empty air, are you a spearman or a fart?”

“You! Don’t stand motionless! Your feet move with your hands!”

Ouyang Shuo observed from the side that most of them were confused about what to do. There were only two of them who seemed to know what they were doing, jumping in and out while fighting.

One of them was the one who had been the first to change his class, Zhang Daniu, twenty-three years old. He was a horse-faced, tall man,who was very simple looking. He had said that his father was a hunter, and he used to follow his father into the mountains to hunt hunt often.

The other was called San Gouzi, twenty-seven years old, also very tall, but thin as bamboo. In the village, he was a character everyone called Dog Lord.

It took a full ten minutes for the fight with the wild dogs to finish. After a round of fighting, each militia member earned 150 xp, enough to hit level 2.

Two of them were bitten by the dogs, and had to apply Dr. Song’s golden cream to their wounds, then bandage them up. Taking advantage of this time, Ouyang Shuo harvested the other seven wild dogs, getting two good skins and three broken skins. Two of the dogs died so miserably that they didn’t even leave a broken or tattered skin.

[Good Wild Dog Skin]: Quality 4 points, suitable for making clothing.
