Chapter 694 Hellish Training
"Thank you so much! I appreciate it," Rocky said. He looked at Sabina gratefully.
"You can be assured that I have told him everything you said. Uncle Allen asked me to inform you that
he will do his very best to assist you," Sabina said peacefully.
"By the way, how did you know that I''m in the Heaven Unicorn City?" Rocky asked as he nodded.
"When I arrived at the Mont City with Louis, the city has already been unfortunately upied. So
instead of leaving immediately, I sneaked into the city and inquired about the situation. I learned that
some remaining soldiers of the Crimson Dragon Army along with other civilians escaped to Heaven
Unicorn City. Therefore, I guessed you might be here," Sabina responded.
"It''s d to hear that. You brought Louis here at the right time," Rocky said with a smile.
"How is the situation now?" Sabina inquired.
"It is not the ideal situation. I wanted the Crimson Dragon Army to send some reinforcements at the
start, but Prince Alston didn''t agree to send any soldiers. Therefore, I can''t count on them anymore.
The soldiers, including the Heaven Unicorn City''s garrison, are less than five thousand," Rocky said as
he shook his head. There was a bitter smile on his face.
"I am worried that there are too few soldiers. In this case, how could they fight the enemy troops if

worsees to worst? I''m really afraid that these soldiers can''t even protect the Heaven Unicorn
City..." Sabina frowned when she heard this news. She learned that there were more than thirty-five
thousand soldiers of the Holy Sea Empire in the Mont City. Even if only twenty thousand soldiers were
sent to attack the Heaven Unicorn City, the soldiers in the city could not resist them at all.
"So what we can only do is to recruit more soldiers here in the Heaven Unicorn City. Even though we
can only recruit two or three thousand soldiers, this can totally improve the current situation," Rocky
said hopefully as he shrugged and smiled.
"That''s a good idea indeed!" Sabina nodded her head in approval and then nced at Rocky. "Is there
anything I can do for you?"
"I hope you can safely escort Louis to the spot for investigation after he finishes studying the terrain
map of the Yu City," Rocky replied after thinking thoughtfully for a while.
"No problem, we can handle it. Now if there is nothing else, so shall we..." Sabina left the tent after
making an eye contact with Rocky.
A smirk crept up at the corners of Rocky''s mouth. After saying his goodbye to Louis, he walked out too.
In the evening, Sabina and Rocky left the camp one after the other.
When Rocky was back to the camp the next morning, he saw that Isis was waiting for him in the tent.
"Where did you gost night? I have learned from Louis that you went out and didn''te backst
night..." Isis spoke. She looked very worried.
"No need to worry. I just found a quiet ce to do somethingst night," Rocky said calmly.
"Please tell me first before you go somewhere next time," she replied. Her tone sounded a little
discontent.
Rocky nodded and then asked, "How is it going? How much money have you raised?"
"I won''t tell. You have to guess..." Isis smiled yfully and mysteriously.
"Since you raised money in person this time, I''m guessing there might be at least fifty thousand taels of
gold," Rocky guessed as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"I am offended. You are underestimating me," Isis said as she pouted and gave him a re. Then she
added, "I have raised a total of one million taels of silver coinsst night. I didn''t expect that your items
are really good. After I sold half of the goods, I have raised one million taels of silver coins which are
equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of gold. I stopped and didn''t sell the rest when Iputed
that I have collected enough money."
"Incredible! You''re really so amazing!" Rocky praised her.
"Oh, don''tpliment me. In another note, I have asked people to send out the official notice of
recruitment. I''m going to recruit the soldiers we need." After she finished speaking, Isis looked at Rocky
and left.
At noon, the square in the northwest side of the Heaven Unicorn City was overcrowded. The members
of the Crimson Dragon Army were recruiting soldiers in the area. It was said that Isis, the Deputy
Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Army and one of the most beautiful women in the Holy
Dragon Empire, recruited soldiers in person. Therefore, a lot of people of the Heaven Unicorn City
gathered in the square very early in the morning.
In order to recruit soldiers more smoothly, Isis raised the standard remuneration package which was
paying the soldiers three months'' sry in advance. This was a good deal because ordinary families
might be unable to earn so much in a year. In addition, as one of the most beautiful women in the Holy
Dragon Empire, Isis attracted a lot of men to get there. This was her secret weapon that made the
recruitment sessful.
They recruited more than a thousand people on the first day. During the next two days, the recruitment
was smooth as well. They recruited three thousand and five soldiers in total. The number of soldiers
was greater than their expectation.
"You request all the cksmith shops in the Heaven Unicorn City to produce five more sets of high-
grade quality weapons and soldier armors..." Isis said to an officer, after checking the number of
recruits in the camp. Before the recruitment of soldiers, she had requested all the cksmith shops in
the Heaven Unicorn City to make three thousand high-grade quality weapons first. However, she had
recruited five more soldiers, so five more sets of high-grade quality weapons and soldier armors had to
be prepared. Fortunately, there was sufficient backup capital. Even if they recruited one or two
thousand more people, it was not a problem.
"How was the recruitment? If you are too busy to deal with all the work, you can always ask
Commander Qin to do it," Rocky said with concern, after he came into the tent and saw that Isis was
busy. Actually, the recruitment didn''t really need Isis to do the work in person. But in order to make the
recruitment smoother and more sessful, she tried her very best to do it. Rocky also noticed her hard
work. He also knew that Isis did this for him so he could n how he would deal with the Holy Sea
Empire at ease. During this period, he had saved a lot of trouble thanks to the help of Isis. He was
grateful to her, but at the same time he also felt a little guilty. After all, Isis didn''t ask anything from him
at all. He also felt that he was despicable, because he just used a fake rtionship so Isis would help
him. Even under these circumstances, Isis assisted him willingly.
"It''s almost done. Now I''m thinking about how we will do the training. I am worried that since we don''t
have enough time, it is impossible to train these soldiers. I''m afraid they can''t bear the pressure if they
go to the battlefield directly without severe training. And it''s also easy for them to be scared and even
desert during the battle..." Isis said with a worried look on her face.
"It doesn''t matter. Don''t worry. I will train them using a special training method of mine. Please gather
these soldiers this afternoon," Rocky uttered calmly. He had expected this situation, so he prepared
and came up with a special training method.
After Isis heard that, a curious look appeared on her face. She was curious about what special training
method Rocky would use to make these soldiers, who did not receive any training prior their
recruitment, fight bravely and not run away on the battlefield.
Afternoon came and all the newly recruited soldiers were gathered at the training ground of the military
camp.
Not long after, Rocky and Isis appeared in front of the newly recruited soldiers.
"Today, I summon you here toplete a test. Those who can pass the test can officially join the
Crimson Dragon Army and those who fail will have to go back home. In addition, those who can pass
the test will be rewarded with an extra thirty taels of silver coins..." Rocky dered directly.
At this point, the soldiers in front of him immediately roared in excitement. If they passed the test, they
could get thirty taels of silver coins which was a very generous incentive. They itched to take the test,
but what they did not know was that they would face a hellish test and training next.
