"He is too proud right now, seemingly forgetting that there are greater powers beyond him. Over the years, managing private soldiers here has fostered his arrogant personality. I just want him to experience some hardship to learn a lesson; otherwise, if he encounters someone else next time, he might end up as a corpse. As for his injuries, don't worry, I will have him healed by the day after tomorrow, but the pain will still linger for a couple of days."
"Everything depends on your arrangements, Brother."
"Liu Brother, what training content are you planning for them tomorrow?" Shangguan Jinglei was very curious about Liu Guanfeng's methods and wanted to know how to turn such a team into an elite force in half a year.
However, his curiosity was met with Liu Guanfeng pointing to the sky: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."
"You think you can keep secrets from me?"
"I must keep the training of soldiers confidential; otherwise, it won't be fresh for you. By the way, Second Brother, I've always wanted to ask you, why don't you have a mount yet?"
Shangguan Junhong recounted his royal matters, and Liu Guanfeng nodded: "I wonder what kind of mount you like? When the time comes, I can get you one."
"I appreciate your kindness, Brother, but right now I can't possibly tame a mount above the Seventh Tier. Even with your help, I wouldn't be able to do it."
"I mean when you feel capable of taming one, I'll help you get it. Tell me what kind of magical beast you like so I can find out where to catch one."
"You can just ask me; he told me when he was very young and has never forgotten it over the years."
"Oh? Elder Brother, what kind of magical beast has captivated Second Brother so much?"
"Hong'er loves elephants the most. However, the most common magical beasts of this type are Wood and Golden Class; there are very few Earth Department ones. Even if there are any, they are deep within four mountain ranges, making them very hard to capture. So even though he keeps mentioning it, it's difficult for the Eastern Dragon royal family to fulfill his wish."
Liu Guanfeng looked at the dejected Sixth Prince: "Don't worry, Second Brother. I'll help you find out where you can get one. I'll see if I can come up with a way to help you catch one."
Shangguan Junhong smiled and said to Liu Guanfeng, "Then I will thank my brother first."
"Elder Brother, Second Brother. The matters here are almost settled, so you don’t need to come here tomorrow. I can handle things on my own."
"Alright, then I will trouble you, big brother."
"What are we brothers saying this for?"
"Then let's leave. We will come back in a few days to check on these children."
After speaking, Liu Guanfeng and the other three left the estate. Before leaving, Liu Guanfeng specifically arranged for Gao Wei to find a doctor.
After entering the city, Liu Guanfeng returned to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce's branch and called Holland City: "President Huo, prepare the items that President Bai has ready and load them overnight. We will set out early tomorrow morning."
"Rest assured, President. I will arrange for the staff right away."
After Holland City left, Liu Guanfeng called the Cheng Brothers over. After the two brothers greeted Liu Guanfeng, Cheng Jin asked, "General, can we leave now? We have been cooped up for days."
Liu Guanfeng nodded: "We will leave tomorrow. Do you remember what I told you last time?"
"Don't worry, General. I have already told those kids everything."
"Five thousand people; each of you is responsible for five, especially since there are three Minor Generals there. You must take good care of them. They will be useful in the future."
"Rest assured, General. We will complete the mission."
"I will leave here shortly to prepare over there. You all bring the people to the estate west of the city early tomorrow morning; I will hand over the troops to you. Let President Huo send someone to guard the Merchant Guild's vehicles for a while."
"Understood, General."
"You two should go down and prepare as well."
"Yes."
By dinner time, Holland City returned to report to Liu Guanfeng that the goods were ready. Liu Guanfeng instructed Holland City to pay some wages to Cheng Jin and others as hired mercenaries, and also asked him to arrange for someone to deliver the goods to the Sixth Prince's estate in West City the next morning. After arranging everything, Liu Guanfeng returned to the Sixth Prince's estate. At this time, the entire estate was very quiet. Liu Guanfeng looked around and realized that many soldiers had already fallen asleep, while a few others were discussing the events of the day.
Liu Guanfeng went to Gao Wei's room. At this moment, Gao Wei was lying in bed resting after being treated by a doctor. When Gao Wei saw Liu Guanfeng enter, he turned his face away towards the inside of the bed.
Liu Guanfeng ignored him and walked straight to Gao Wei's bedside, casually tossing a Mind Method book onto him. This was a basic Earth Department Mind Method, perfect for Gao Wei's cultivation. After throwing the Mind Method at Gao Wei, Liu Guanfeng turned and walked to the door, looking back at Gao Wei and saying, "When you can memorize what's in this book, I'll help you with your bones; otherwise, you'll be a cripple for life." With that, Liu Guanfeng left the room without even glancing at Gao Wei.
Once Liu Guanfeng had left, Gao Wei struggled to open the book. When he saw its contents, he was stunned. As an Advanced Knight, he understood the value of this book very well. He knew that if he could truly connect with what was recorded inside, his power would greatly increase; becoming a Divine Knight would no longer be a dream.
At this moment, he finally realized how great the gap between himself and Liu Guanfeng was. A person who could easily hand over such a Mind Method to him was definitely someone he looked up to. Reflecting on his previous attitude made Gao Wei feel utterly ashamed. He lay in bed and with a push of his waist, rolled off the bed.
He then walked to Liu Guanfeng's room. The light in Liu Guanfeng's room was still on. However, Gao Wei did not disturb him; instead, he knelt down directly at Liu Guanfeng's door.
When he arrived, Liu Guanfeng already knew. At this moment, feeling Gao Wei kneeling at his door, Liu Guanfeng smiled with satisfaction in his room; he knew he had successfully taught another general.
To temper Gao Wei's character, Liu Guanfeng did not go outside; instead, he turned off the light in his room but did not sleep. He used his spiritual sense to observe Gao Wei outside. At this time, Gao Wei made no movements and remained kneeling at Liu Guanfeng's door.
The entire night passed without either Gao Wei or Liu Guanfeng sleeping. The next morning, when the soldiers came out to wash up and saw Gao Wei kneeling at Liu Guanfeng's door, everyone was stunned. They did not understand why their general would kneel before an outsider. Many of his loyal supporters couldn't stand it any longer and rushed to Gao Wei's side to help him up: "General Gao, what is this? Did that new Little Guy do something? Brothers are willing to risk our lives just to drive him out."
Gao Wei took a deep breath and said, "This is all my own doing; I was wrong. I only ask for Lord Liu's forgiveness. Remember from now on that anyone who disobeys should no longer call me general; I will not recognize them as friends." Hearing Gao Wei's words, several soldiers were taken aback and instinctively released their hold on him.
At this moment, Gao Wei bowed three times at the door: "Lord Liu, I Gao Wei know my mistake; I humbly request your forgiveness for my errors yesterday."
The door opened, and Liu Guanfeng appeared at the entrance. "You three, help General Gao back to his room and make him take this pill." Liu Guanfeng tossed a healing pill to a soldier. Seeing Gao Wei's condition, the soldiers did not dare to show any negligence towards Liu Guanfeng. They supported Gao Wei back to the room, and only after serving him the medicine did the three soldiers go for breakfast.
Just as breakfast ended, the Gathering Drum in the Training Ground was struck. All the soldiers quickly arrived at the Training Ground and stood in formation. When they arrived, many people were already standing at the front of the Training Ground.
These people were unfamiliar to them. At this moment, Liu Guanfeng and two others stood on the Command Platform. Liu Guanfeng cleared his throat and said, "The training mission this time is to act as Mercenaries. Everyone standing in front of you is a Mercenary, and they will live with you for the next six months. Go find your team members."
With Liu Guanfeng's command, soldiers from the Red Star Mercenary Group quickly ran down to the ranks, each selecting five team members and standing together with them.
"From today onwards, that Mercenary just now will be your squad leader. You must obey your squad leader's orders; anyone who dares to resist will face dire consequences. If anyone can defeat your squad leader, then you will become the squad leader. However, let me make it clear: if anyone gets crippled by the squad leader, you can just go home and nurse your injuries." After finishing his words, Liu Guanfeng ignored the soldiers below and turned to leave the Command Platform.
Cheng Jin then took Liu Guanfeng's place and looked at the soldiers below before saying, "Everyone listen up! We have a mission to complete now. You will know what to do along the way. Squad leaders, take your teams out."
In the entire thousand-person team, everyone except Cheng Jin was accompanied by several people, while the original three deputy generals had all become Cheng Yin's soldiers.
After Cheng Jin and Cheng Yin bid farewell to Liu Guanfeng with a salute, they took over the guard duty of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce as escorting Mercenaries heading to Young Lion City. This would be a long training period.
When Liu Guanfeng returned from the entrance, Gao Wei was still resting in his room. It wasn't until evening that Gao Wei could finally move his arms slightly.
Gao Wei came before Liu Guanfeng again and knelt down to bow his head. However, this time he was helped up by Liu Guanfeng. "General Gao, I do this only because I hope you understand that one can have pride but not arrogance. Otherwise, you might not even realize how you lost your life."
"I thank you for your guidance, my lord. The Mind Method you lent me is..."
"A Mind Method suitable for you; just cultivate according to what is written above. If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me."
"Thank you very much."
"General Gao, may I ask what kind of weapon you are currently using?"
Gao Wei took out his weapon, which was a gun that wasn't quite a gun. He had simply asked the blacksmith to sharpen one end of his iron rod into a conical shape.
Liu Guanfeng looked at Gao Wei's weapon and smiled, saying, "General Gao, your weapon is quite unique. Did you come up with it yourself?"
Gao Wei blushed and nodded, "Yes, I thought of it myself. Originally, I used a stick, but it always felt like something was missing, so I sharpened one end of the stick. This way, it can be used as a stick and also thrust forward at the opponent, significantly increasing its lethality."
Liu Guanfeng nodded, "Once your injury heals in a few days, I'll teach you some things."
"Thank you, my lord. However, I am just a little confused about where you sent those soldiers." When Gao Wei woke up, he realized that only a few servants remained in the entire estate; all the soldiers were nowhere to be seen, including his three deputy generals who seemed to have vanished into thin air.
"I sent them to carry out a mission."
"A mission? Do I not need to lead them?"
"The mission is very simple, so you don't need to go."
"My lord, when will they return? I need to report to the Sixth Prince."
"There’s no need for you to report; I will speak with the Sixth Prince myself. As for you, if your strength remains at this level, I will consider adding more powerful subordinates around the Sixth Prince."
Upon hearing this, Gao Wei felt a jolt. He understood his own abilities well; he was only valued here by the Sixth Prince. If he went elsewhere, even in a small official household, there would be one or two Advanced Knights whose strength would definitely surpass his. With this thought in mind, Gao Wei stopped inquiring further and after cupping his fist in respect to Liu Guanfeng, returned to his room.
