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

After Zhou Rui nodded, Lin Tong set off for the National Protection Army camp.

Along the way, he was already wondering what kind of monsters and demons he would encounter.

He even had a contingency plan in mind.

If all else fails, kill two to establish our authority.

Lin Tong didn't take the National Protection Army's previous performance to heart.

He also saw the National Protection Army's execution ability, but who knows what made it so.

The Duke of Huguo knew the truth, but Lin Tong did not.

What if the crown prince simply paid for the soldiers to put on a show?

Aren't they just a bunch of rabble?

The surface of donkey dung is shiny, but that's useless on the battlefield.

But when he arrived at the National Protection Army camp, Lin Tong was dumbfounded.

Salute, walking, expression, posture.

Simply impeccable.

This is a formidable army.

It even vaguely resembles the spirit of the military.

Are these really soldiers trained in just one month?

Zhou Tiancheng had already received the notification. He stood at the gate of the military camp with Xinhua. When Lin Tong came to visit, Zhou Tiancheng walked over with a look of eagerness.

"Instructor Lin is here! You've come at the perfect time!"

"I am not knowledgeable in military affairs, and Xinhua is still young and inexperienced. We are in dire need of an experienced general like you to guide us!"

Lin Tong glanced at the enthusiastic Zhou Tiancheng, completely bewildered.

He had seen the Crown Prince before, but the Crown Prince he had seen was arrogant and looked down on people.

The prince in front of him was all smiles, as if Lin Tong was some important figure.

Is this really the Crown Prince?

Lin Tong's mind was racing. He was aware of the case of the real and fake crown prince in the palace before, and now even he was beginning to doubt that the crown prince in front of him was a fake.

But he quickly composed himself, his expression and thoughts completely concealed, and looked at Zhou Tiancheng with a solemn expression.

"Your Highness is too kind. However, I have no dealings with your National Protection Army. It will probably take some time for us to work together before we see any results."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled and nodded, then pulled him directly to the military camp.

"It's alright, Coach Lin can adjust as needed."

He ordered the National Protection Army to be assembled.

To put it another way, before Zhou Tiancheng and Lin Tong even arrived at the assembly point, more than four hundred National Protection Army soldiers were already lined up neatly here.

The key point is that they all stood ramrod straight without the slightest slackening, which is remarkable.

This kind of execution ability cannot be achieved simply by spending money.

Lin Tong was somewhat surprised, but finally began to take Zhou Tiancheng and the National Protection Army seriously.

He took a deep breath and asked somewhat nervously.

"Your Highness, who is in charge of this military camp?"

"If I intervene rashly, will it displease him?"

He didn't believe that this army was trained by Zhou Tiancheng.

His only worry was that the person who trained this army would be jealous of him and try to reap the benefits.

Zhou Tiancheng just smiled at him.

"I have always been in charge of this military camp, so you can rest assured about that."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and all the soldiers stood up straight, their morale and spirits noticeably improved.

When he coughed, all the sounds disappeared.

An army of over four hundred men didn't even let out a single mosquito's buzz.

This dominance and iron discipline astonished even veteran general Lin Tong.

Then, Zhou Tiancheng went up and began to introduce the topic.

"This is Instructor Lin, the newly arrived general of the National Protection Army!"

"In this competition, Coach Lin's words carried more weight than mine. Did everyone understand?"

More than four hundred people roared in unison.

"Listen carefully!"

The voice was crisp and clear, without any hesitation or ambiguity—that's what an army should look like.

More importantly, it was the roar of four hundred people, yet it sounded like the voice of a single person!

Lin Tong was stunned.

Knowing that the Crown Prince might not understand military affairs, he could only turn to Xinhua and ask him.

"Are these really soldiers trained by the Crown Prince? To what extent have they been trained?"

Xinhua smiled and nodded.

"The Crown Prince used his own training methods. If Instructor Lin is interested, you can make a copy. The Crown Prince should agree."

Having received the answer, Lin Tong looked at Zhou Tiancheng with the same gaze he would give a deity.

Lin Tong has fought in the northern frontier for at least twenty years and has more than ten years of experience leading and training troops.

But what about the Crown Prince?

The Crown Prince isn't even twenty yet!

How did he manage to train his troops to be so incredibly skilled?

Xinhua then continued to speak.

"As for how well these soldiers have trained... Instructor Lin, they have developed a military spirit, but their foundation is not deep. However, they are certainly usable."

"Instructor, you don't need to worry about others being dissatisfied. The core of the National Protection Army is His Highness the Crown Prince, followed by us centurions. As long as we recognize you, the National Protection Army will recognize you, and there won't be any other trouble."

Lin Tong couldn't hold back any longer.

He reached out to interrupt Xinhua and asked another question.

"Military spirit? New general, you also come from the northern frontier, do you know what those two words mean?"

Xinhua nodded slightly.

"Instructor Lin, I know what's going on."

"This means that these people are not afraid of death or sacrifice; they are even willing to give up their lives for military orders!"

"If that weren't the case, I wouldn't be confident in using them against the cavalry!"

Lin Tong became withdrawn.

Can you develop military spirit in a month?

Why doesn't he believe it?

Even though Xinhua made a guarantee, he still harbored a sliver of doubt.

Soldiers with a strong military spirit fight in completely different ways than those without.

Lin Tong opted for a more conservative approach, and his battle plan was also more restrained.

And this moment.

Zhou Tiancheng on the stage had finished his speech and gestured for Lin Tong to come forward.

Lin Tong walked up to the high platform and looked at the four hundred people in front of him, and immediately felt more confident.

Using this group of people to fight the Third Prince is like an adult beating a child.

He immediately spoke up, choosing to first build rapport.

"I admire His Highness the Crown Prince very much. Although I don't know how he did it, to train you all to this level in just one month is something even I couldn't do."

He first praised Zhou Tiancheng, then looked at the reactions below.

He wanted the soldiers' approval, because only then could he build a closer relationship with them.

But what he saw were more than four hundred wooden figures.

No one moved, and no one uttered a word; they simply stared at him, waiting for his next words.

Lin Tong felt a little uneasy.

This army is a bit mysterious!

Fortunately, Chou Tien-cheng gave him a way out.

Chou Tien-chen led the applause!

Followed by.

More than 400 people applauded in unison.

To put it another way, even the clapping seemed rehearsed, the clapping was so synchronized that it gave a mechanical feeling.

Lin Tong felt a chill run down his spine.

It was only at this moment that he realized that what he was to lead was not an army in the traditional sense.

This is a spear, a sword, a killing weapon devoid of any emotion, one that only obeys orders!

This is also the dream soldier of every general!

So Lin Tong stopped talking nonsense.

He spoke directly.

"I fought in the northern frontier for more than 20 years. I came here this time for one purpose."

"Winner!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone roared in anger.

"Winner!"

This display of power was so great that the birds in the hunting grounds were startled and scattered into the air.

Lin Tong finally smiled.

Third Prince, didn't you say that I, Lin Tong, am not even as good as a feather of the Duke?

Didn't you say I, Lin Tong, am a good-for-nothing?

Now it's time to show you what I, Lin Tong, am capable of!
