Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1831 We have to fight!

Because Zhou Ye returned, Sigurd also got a few days off.

The next morning, the brother and sister faced off again on the training ground inside the palace.

The daily morning practice sessions are basically a regular activity for the two siblings.

However, because he owed Sigurd a favor yesterday, Zhou Ye was not too keen on fighting his sister today.

"How about we just call it a day?"

Upon hearing this, Sigrun's eyelids twitched violently.

How could she not understand the meaning behind Zhou Ye's words?
This guy felt confident of winning, but at the same time, he was afraid that if he won, she would be in a bad mood.

This made Sigurd laugh in exasperation.

"Fight! We absolutely have to fight! And you're not allowed to hold back, or I'll never let you off the hook!!"

Sigrun's current strength has reached the Bronze Three-Star level of the Hundred Refinements Realm, and she has entered a minor bottleneck. She may break through to the Bronze Four-Star level at any time.

Compared to back then, things are completely different now.

This gave her a lot of confidence in this round.

Before he finished speaking, he launched a fierce attack without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhou Ye could only passively fight back.

It has to be said that Sigurd's strength has improved quite significantly, which surprised Zhou Ye a little and made him unconsciously take things more seriously.

After exchanging twenty or thirty blows, Sigrun suddenly felt dizzy and, with a muffled thud, was thrown to the ground.

Looking at the azure sky, Sigurd was completely stunned for a moment.

"No. This isn't right, let's try again!"

Sigrun sprang to her feet, her face full of disbelief.

However, this time he fell even faster, returning to his original position in less than ten moves.

"Come again!"

At the same time, inside the palace, Zhou Xu and Yarvit were undoubtedly awakened as well. They were now wearing their bathrobes, looking speechlessly at their two unfortunate children.

Compared to Zhou Xu, Yarvit was more interested in the match in front of her, and would occasionally offer a comment or two.

“Ye’er’s strength is already above that of Sigrun, and she also knows Sigrun’s moves and habits too well. In the Hundred Refinements Realm, it would be difficult for her to be Ye’er’s opponent.”

After saying that, Yarvet looked at Zhou Xu, who was resting his chin on his hand and seemed completely uninterested, and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.

"Say something!"

"Ah, yes, yes!"

Yarvit could see through Zhou Xu's perfunctory attitude, but it did not dampen her enthusiasm.

The topic at hand prompted her to talk about her training of Zhou Ye in the desert camp.

Now Zhou Xu realized that Yarvit had become obsessed with leveling up her alt account.

Incidentally, he could also tell that Jarvit was definitely not cut out to be a teacher.

However, he didn't care. Let Yarvit teach if she wanted to. Anyway, it wasn't him who was causing trouble. It was good to have something to do. Otherwise, his days were rather boring, as he only trained and practiced.

At the same time, Zhou Ye, who had just finished taking down Sigrun again and was standing there with a helpless expression, suddenly shivered.

"Something's wrong, why am I suddenly feeling a chill?"

After the two finished their sparring, Zhou Ye quickly understood the reason when he saw Yarvit standing in front of them.

Compared to Zhou Ye, who was screaming and yelling as he was beaten, Sigurd was much calmer this time.

After all, Sigurd had grown up under Yarvit's strict tutelage since childhood, and she was already used to sparring with Yarvit.

Of course, this does not mean that this training method is useful.

There's no doubt that Jarvet wasn't a good teacher. Meanwhile, Zhou Xu went to work after breakfast; the report Zhou Ye brought back yesterday was basically a normal report.

I gave a brief overview of the situation in the desert and the border region with Russia, and that was about it.

However, Zhou Xu had something to arrange.

Now that the defense mission in the desert has been taken over by a large-scale undead force, the demand for human troops will decrease significantly.

And right now, their Great Zhou is undoubtedly entering a period of development.

If you were to ask what is most important in a development cycle, then labor would certainly be one of them.

Under this premise, their Great Zhou army undoubtedly has a large number of young and middle-aged laborers.

Now that we are in peacetime, it is natural to retire some of our personnel and instead increase the number of internal workers.

Zhou Xu quickly made the relevant arrangements, and the order was issued from the Hall of Diligent Governance that very morning.

During the lunch break, Zhou Xu didn't forget to mention the report sent from the Grassland Military Region to Yarvet.

That was a report on the martial arts contest for marriage that had taken place over the past two days. Jarvit was probably also interested in this issue, so he just said it directly.

"Overall, the results were pretty good, and we managed to collect quite a few..."

The event was indeed very successful, basically meeting his initial expectations.

Even if they didn't end up as a pair, after two days of competition, they had already expended most of their excess energy.

The only problem is that some people get injured, but there's nothing we can do about it. After all, it's a competition, and fists and feet have no eyes. No one can guarantee that no one will get hurt.

Fortunately, everyone acted with some restraint, and no serious incidents occurred.

"How about turning it into a regular event in the future? We can extend it to all military regions and hold it once a month."

The female warrior tribe's troops are no longer limited to the grassland military region.

Given that female soldiers in the grassland military region are already experiencing this situation, female soldiers in other military regions must be facing the same situation.

Zhou Xu clearly already had a plan in mind.

"It's fine to change it to a regular event and promote it to all military regions, but holding it once a month is too frequent."

As they spoke, Zhou Xu suggested a relatively suitable time.

"Let's just do it once a quarter and see how it goes. Otherwise, if we keep doing this every month, it will affect our normal training."

"Okay, let's do it!"

This incident also served as a wake-up call for Zhou Xu.

That is, he should probably prepare more recreational activities for everyone to release their energy.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has developed too fast, which has kept them extremely busy all these years. They are either fighting or developing. In addition, the territory is too large, and they simply cannot finish developing. As a result, they have even reached the point of working around the clock.

To put it bluntly, no one has time to think about anything else.

People in the early days had all experienced hardship, so as long as they were given food, they were willing to work wholeheartedly for you.

In fact, everyone feels that being busy is good, because it makes them feel at ease.

They don't have a concept of entertainment, nor would they have such thoughts; frankly, they are just trying to survive.

However, as times have progressed and people's lives have improved, some situations have begun to change.

On a new day, Zhou Xu brought his wife and children to the area that he had previously washed away with the mudslide.

That area has changed dramatically. The once barren wasteland has been cleared into flat land, and white lines have been drawn on the ground.

Zhou Xu walked to the marked area, tossed a ball out, and said with a smile...

"Today I'm going to show you a new game called soccer!"
