Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 2001 How could I not keep up?
Breaking through to a higher realm is something that cannot be forced. Xie Liancheng was well aware of this principle.
If he could force it, he would have broken through long ago. Why is he still stuck at the peak of the Vajra Realm?
At this moment, Jie Liancheng was just a little annoyed after learning that another martial artist at the Transcendent Realm had arrived, so he just made a self-deprecating remark and didn't dwell on it.

After Zhou Xu comforted him, Xie Liancheng waved his hand and quickly put the matter behind him.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's been a long time since we last met. Let's talk about something else."

As the topic shifted, the old friends reminisced, and the atmosphere quickly became pleasant.

Since Zhou Xulai is already here, he might as well stay a few more days. He can inspect the situation here and spend some time with his wife and brothers.

We can also take a look at the situation in Eredar.

Although with Yarvet in charge, nothing serious is bound to happen, she's only just arrived, so we still need to keep a close eye on her.

During this time, while arranging dormitories for Ereda and the others, it was almost time for dinner. Zhou Xu invited Yarvit, Xie Liancheng, Zhou Chongshan, Wei Qing and several other subordinates to go to the canteen for dinner.

According to the customs of their Great Zhou Dynasty, generals and soldiers eat in the same place and eat the same food, without any discrimination.

Aside from the occasional all-day military-style training sessions, mealtimes aren't as formal, and the overall atmosphere is quite relaxed.

Zhou Xu and the others sat at a table, chatting idly.

At this table, everyone was familiar with each other except for the newcomer Ereda, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

In this situation, Ereda, who wasn't really that familiar with anyone, felt a bit awkward sitting there. Mainly, he didn't know what to say, so he simply kept quiet and focused on eating.

But you know what, the food at this military region is actually quite good, much better than the boxed meals on the train.

Noticing Ereda's embarrassment, Zhou Xu, intending to help him integrate into the group, casually steered the conversation towards Ereda.

"Eridar, you and the other dark elves, are you going to start training right away tomorrow morning?"

"That's the plan, Your Majesty."

Zhou Xu nodded.

"You've just enlisted, so it's normal that you can't keep up with the training intensity of the regular army here. Don't worry, I've already given you a week to adjust."

The Dark Elves' physical attributes are absolutely excellent; they are born with three-star bravery, and their class also provides additional benefits.

Although Zhou Xu only glanced at it briefly, he was almost certain that more than 30% of the Dark Elf troops were martial artists at the Hundred Refinement Realm.

At this level, only the Trapped Camp in the Great Zhou army can compare.

As long as they have the will, they can definitely adapt in a week.

And Ereda's first reaction upon hearing this was...

[Can't keep up with the training intensity here? How could I not keep up?]

Of course, he didn't say it. He's not stupid; it's better to keep a low profile when you're new here.

After dinner, Ereda and his group, who had just arrived, were also tired from their long journey and went to bed early.

Zhou Xu, however, had no rest. He was immediately taken by Yarvet to deliver the grain, and they fought until dawn. With the final sprint, Zhou Xu clearly heard the assembly whistle outside.

However, this has no impact on Jarvit.

The military region's training model is mainly geared towards soldiers and ordinary officers. High-level combat personnel like Jarvit each have their own training schedules with different intensities, so they can't train together with the soldiers.

However, there are exceptions, such as Zhou Chongshan. As the commander of the Trapped Camp, he is responsible for leading the training, so he appears every morning.

Under this premise, as one of only two peak Vajra Realm experts in this military region, and also Zhou Chongshan's training partner, Xie Liancheng naturally followed suit and started training with Zhou Chongshan, who got up so early.

Meanwhile, inside the dark elves' dormitory, before dawn, Eredar, though still half asleep, clearly caught the sound of the assembly whistle with his keen hearing.

After a moment of confusion, he remembered the training instructions he had been given the day before and immediately snapped out of his daze.

"Get up, get up!!!"

Amidst the shouts, the dark elves thought they were under attack and practically sprang up from their beds, though their faces still showed a hint of confusion.

Seeing this, Ereda quickly reminded them...

"Hurry up and change your clothes and assemble, training is today!!"

Eredar shouted as he rushed to the next dormitory, waking up all the dark elves under his command.

By the time Eredar led the flustered dark elves to the training ground, the soldiers in the camp had already run two laps.

It's worth mentioning that there are several training grounds here.

Elite units like the Trapped have their own training grounds, and the dark elves, led by Eredar, were assigned to the Trapped's training grounds.

On the one hand, the strength of the two troops is relatively close and the training intensity is also appropriate; on the other hand, the training ground here is relatively spacious and can accommodate new recruits.

Looking at the Trapped Camp soldiers who had already started running in circles, Eredar's tone suddenly became more urgent.

"Move quickly!"

Although their emperor had already said yesterday that they would have a week to adjust, they wouldn't be punished for being a little late for the assembly on the first day if they hadn't adjusted yet.

But elves are very concerned about their reputation, and the Eredar, as dark elves, are no exception.

He never thought he would care so much about other people's opinions before. After all, strong people naturally receive more attention, and he was already used to being watched.

However, at this moment, feeling the gazes cast upon him from the training ground, Ereda inexplicably felt a sense of unease, as if he were being pricked by needles!
The reason is simple: Ereda knew very well that they had failed to assemble on time and were late for training.

If it weren't for so many people watching, he would have been tempted to rush over and kick the slowest dark elves a few times.

Why didn't I realize they were so slow before?
"Line up immediately!"

Dark elves do know how to form ranks, after all, spearmen and crossbowmen need to be in formation to show their power, and among the elves, dark elves are considered well-trained.

Her movements were quite swift this time, which eased Ereda's expression somewhat, and she then came to Zhou Chongshan's side.

"Ahem! Major General Zhou, what should we do now?"

Zhou Chongshan didn't mince words in response.

"As for the soldiers, they can train with my men for now. As for the captain..."

Considering Eredar's strength and the considerable Dark Elf army under his command, Zhou Xu exceptionally promoted Eredar, who had submitted to him, to the rank of captain, thus giving him a title.

"The captain can start training with us later."
