We'll have you impersonate the Crown Prince and create a prosperous era for the Great Qian Dyna

Zhou Tiancheng didn't ask Xiao Shi the reason, but instead looked at Lao Si.

Knowing Xiao Shi's limited intelligence, he was afraid of trusting the wrong person.

The fourth brother nodded slightly, agreeing with the tenth brother's words.

"When we fought together in the northern frontier years ago, my second brother was in charge of planning and strategizing. He was especially good at interrogation."

Interrogation?

What's the point of this?

Zhou Tiancheng is not the Minister of Justice.

The fourth brother added a sentence.

"Anyone who was interrogated by the second brother eventually became one of his own."

Zhou Tiancheng understood now.

This second-in-command is very good at developing his network of subordinates; isn't he a perfect intelligence chief?

The problem is, how can he win over this intelligence chief?

"As long as the eldest brother agrees, the second brother will come along."

Seeing Zhou Tiancheng frown, the fourth brother also provided information about the Ten Ghosts of Fengcheng.

The fourth and fifth brothers both have their own pursuits.

Xiao Shi, that's just the mentality of a young person, he's very easy to fool.

But the remaining few, even if they had their own ideas, were unwilling to leave the team and mostly listened to the leader.

So, if we want the complete fusion of the Ten Demons of Fengcheng, we still need to convince that boss.

"In this way, this exercise is especially important. Only if I win the championship will I have the opportunity to apply to my father for an area to use as a training ground for troops."

"Once I have a chance to prove myself, even your eldest brother will look at me with more respect and be more likely to choose to follow me."

Zhou Tiancheng took a deep breath and turned to look at Xinhua, Xiao Shi, and the others.

"Whether you can win the championship now depends on you."

"I think... I might need to move my plans forward."

What are Chou Tien-cheng's plans?

Manager Liu already said that.

Soldiers trained by Zhou Tiancheng's new training methods have only bones and muscles, but no soul.

In Zhou Tiancheng's words, these soldiers have no faith; they just treat it as a job to make a living.

this is not right.

As soon as the two-day holiday ended, Zhou Tiancheng returned to the military camp.

That evening, instead of training, he had the natural screen in the middle removed.

There was no longer any barrier between the prisoners and their families, and Zhou Tiancheng even invited his family members to sit down together.

He stood beside the campfire, the firelight making him appear to glow.

He looked at the prisoners, his expression somewhat solemn.

"You know in your hearts how you got here. In Daqian, you are just a bunch of criminals, people who have lost their purpose and meaning in life."

"But during these ten days or so of training, I think you may have had other ideas."

"You don't need to rush for now. We can discuss our ideas later. I have to be honest with you about something first."

At this point, Zhou Tiancheng walked towards the family area, where he helped an elderly man up and led him, trembling, to the campfire.

Throughout the entire process, he supported the elderly man without showing the slightest impatience.

He only spoke after the old man had regained his footing.

"I invited this old man to help me. His grandson is in jail for theft, and he is getting old. He wants to see his grandson a few more times, but he is afraid that he doesn't have much time left, so he agreed to act in a play with me."

"Some of you probably already know that the spankings your parents received were fake. They looked heavy, but in reality, it was just lime powder sprinkled on their pants. If you patted them, they would just turn into a cloud of dust."

"Then why should I do that?"

Zhou Tiancheng's question left the group of prisoners somewhat bewildered.

Why?

Isn't the reason quite simple?

Someone immediately raised their hand and stood up.

"Does Your Highness think we are unruly and want to use our families to control us?"

Zhou Tiancheng smiled and waved his hand, gesturing for the prisoner to sit down.

He looked at the person in front of him, his expression gradually becoming firm.

"That reason is only a small part of it. The reason I did this is to tell you that being a soldier is not just a job, but a job for heroes who protect our country!"

When he said these words in front of everyone, many people were somewhat bewildered.

Little Eleven looked excitedly at the Fourth and Fifth Brothers.

"Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, I told you, His Highness is someone worth following!"

The fourth and fifth brothers smiled and nodded, then turned their heads to look at another corner.

In this corner, the remaining seven members of the Toyo City Ten Demons were staring at the prince with a sinister gaze.

The fourth brother sighed.

"I hope my brother can come to his senses soon. If they're willing to lend a hand, winning the championship will be much easier."

Xiao Shi snorted.

"We can win even without them!"

The fourth brother didn't say anything, but instead turned to look at Zhou Tiancheng.

At this moment, Zhou Tiancheng was supporting the old man with a serious expression.

"I've called your families here. If you slack off or make mistakes during training, your family members will be punished. This is to tell you this: your efforts are not only for yourselves, but also to protect your parents, wives, and children!"

"I don't care what others think of you, but to me, as long as you're willing to fight for your families, you're all real men!"

"Perhaps, when you join the army for others, you only care about the two taels of silver a month in pay. But when you join me, I'll show you what you're doing, what you're fighting for, and what you're risking your lives for!"

"I hope that even after you leave this military camp, when you look back, you will remember that you still have your parents and wives behind you!"

At this point, Zhou Tiancheng released his hands from the old man's and stood at attention.

"Now! Everyone, stand up!"

Splash!

Five hundred prisoners stood up in unison, each one standing ramrod straight.

They were in better shape than ever before because they knew their families were watching them!

Zhou Tiancheng's voice was calm and composed.

"From this day forward, the National Protection Army is established!"

"From this day forward, you are no longer prisoners of the Jingzhao Prefecture, but members of the National Protection Army under my Crown Prince's command!"

"Here, I need each of you to swear to God, to me!"

"Now, repeat after me!"

"We are the sons of the people, and we voluntarily join the National Protection Army to fulfill the glorious mission entrusted to us by the nation. We will fight to the very end to protect our families and the people!"

Five hundred people.

Five hundred unruly prisoners.

At this moment, there was no disturbance; everyone spoke in unison.

"We are the sons of the people, and we voluntarily join the National Protection Army to fulfill the glorious mission entrusted to us by the nation. We will fight to the very end to protect our families and the people!"

This moment.

Xiao Shi stood up and joined in the oath-taking.

His gaze was unwavering.

Xinhua also stood up, solemnly raised his hand, and stood behind Zhou Tiancheng to take the oath together.

What is the spirit of the military?

Xinhua and Xiao Shi both asked Zhou Tiancheng this question.

Now, the answer seems to be right in front of them.

This is the spirit of the military!
