Chapter 792: Delan's Immortal Squad (Part 2)
The army of the Britannia Empire paid great attention to marching training.
Training the generals' marching ability not only exercises their physical strength, but also their discipline, and also allows them to adapt to the boring marching life.
Simply one of the best workouts out there.
After Su Cheng took over as the leader of the Michael Knights, Su Cheng also liked the marching training very much and specifically ordered the strengthening of the marching training of the generals.
After carrying such a heavy load and running for 10 miles at a rapid march, all the generals, including Darlene, were still able to do so with ease. At most, some of them were breathing much heavier.
But after mile 20, some people gradually lost their physical strength and began to be unable to keep up with the team.
When we ran the 23rd mile, someone finally handed the spear in his right hand to his left hand, and then raised his right hand high.
Raising your right hand is a signal.
It means withdrawing from this selection.
Seeing someone raising his right hand to indicate that he was quitting, he followed a nearby carriage, jumped out and several military doctors quickly helped the soldier who chose to quit out of the queue, and then checked to see if there was anything wrong with the soldier's body.
After the first one appeared, more and more people chose to quit midway.
When she reached mile 30, Darlene felt that her legs were starting to get sore.
When she reached mile 40, Darlene felt her lungs hurt and her chest felt like it was about to explode.
Darlene glanced at Yara, who was running beside her.
Judging from Yara's face, Yara's situation is not optimistic either.
Yara is Darlene's good friend, so Darlene has some understanding of her friend's physical condition.
Yara's physical strength is slightly less than Darlene's.
Darlene felt like her lungs were about to explode, and Yara was definitely in worse shape than she was.
At this time, Darlene wanted to remind her friend beside her to do what she could. If she couldn't run anymore, she would raise her hands and quit.
But Darlene really didn't have the energy to speak at this time.
His lips were constantly opening and closing, greedily sucking in every bit of air around him.
Now in order to suck in enough air, the mouth no longer has the extra energy to make a sound to remind Yara.
At the 40th mile, a male soldier running on the right side of Darlene was forcibly pulled out of the queue by the military doctor.
Darlene ran next to the male soldier, so Darlene was the first to notice that the male soldier's face turned pale and his eyes became strange.
Not long after Darlene discovered that the male soldier was dying, the military doctors following them also discovered it.
The military doctors forcibly pulled the male soldier out of the queue.
Then the physical diagnosis and treatment began.
These people who quit midway continue to attack Darlene's will.
——So tired...
——My chest hurts... my legs are so sore...
——My hands are so sore...
A voice like this suddenly appeared in Darlene's heart:
——Give up. You have run such a long distance and are already very good.
——Yes, you have tried your best. Just try your best. You have reached your limit and can no longer run.
——Even if you don’t get into this new unit, it doesn’t matter, just give up.
However, as soon as the voice in Darlene's heart fell, another voice suddenly sounded:
--Can't! Keep holding on! I’m almost done with the 60 miles!
——We haven’t reached the limit yet! Your body still has energy left!
——If you miss this opportunity to join this new army! You will miss a lot!
For some reason, Darlene had a strange feeling in her heart after learning that Captain Su Cheng was going to form this new army.
Darlene always felt that if she missed this opportunity to join the new army, she would miss a lot of important things.
The two voices in my heart kept arguing, and for a while they couldn't tell the difference.
In the end, it was the voice that told Darlene to persist.
The desire to join this new army defeated his laziness and decadence.
Darlene gritted her teeth, moved her sore legs, and followed the team closely to not let herself fall behind.
…
…
Darlene didn't know how she ended up running the 60 miles.
During the last 10 miles of the race, Darlene relied solely on her own willpower.
Seeing that the people in front finally stopped and Commander Dale announced to them that they had passed the second round of selection, Darlene no longer even had the energy to be happy.
Only 289 people passed the second round of selection...
And those who passed the second round of selection, after running these 60 miles, all looked like dead dogs, with their mouths wide open and almost no strength to stand up.
After the last 289 people ran the 60 miles and passed the second round of selection, military doctors rushed to their side and conducted physical examinations on them one by one.
…
…
The second round of selection eliminated most of the people in one go, and the remaining 289 people started the third and final round of selection after three days of rest.
The final round of selection will examine the ability to use weapons.
The specific content of this round of selection is to examine each general's ability to use swords, spears and shields.
This third round of selection only examines three items: sword, spear, and shield.
This round of selection is the easiest among the three rounds.
Because those who can be selected to participate in the selection of this new unit are all strong generals who have killed 10 or more enemy soldiers on the battlefield.
Being able to survive on the fierce battlefield and kill 10 or more enemy soldiers with their own hands - how can such combat power not be proficient in the use of weapons?
Because this round of selection is the easiest, the number of eliminated people is also the least.
In the end, this third and final round of selection only eliminated 21 people.
The original 700 people, only 268 people at this time.
After many selections, only these 268 people of the 4th Army were qualified to join the new unit of the Knights of Michael.
And Darlene and Yara are among these 268 people.
After passing many selections and knowing that they have completed all the selection contents and qualified to become a member of the new unit, Darlene and Yara couldn't believe their ears.
They didn't expect that they could actually pass these selections and become a member of this new army!
The painful and difficult memories of participating in the selections, now looking back, seem like an illusion.
After passing all the selections, the 268 people of the 4th Army left Base No. 2 and headed for Avalon Fortress.
They will meet with the passers of other armies at Avalon Fortress, and be inspected by Captain Su Cheng, and also receive the exclusive equipment of their new army.
On the way to Avalon Fortress, the 268 people of the 4th Army received a notice from Avalon Fortress and learned the official name of their new army.
Their new army, which aims to become the highest combat force of the Knights of Michael, is officially named - Delan Undead Corps.
Delan Undead Corps is a legendary army since its establishment.
In the "Aurora" offensive, the Patriotic War, and even the subsequent annexation war, this legendary army has been active.
The reason why Su Cheng named this unit "Delan Immortal Squad" is that he hopes that this unit can have tenacious vitality and combat power. No matter how many troops the enemy deploys or how fierce the attack is, this unit will not be killed.
And the Delan Immortal Squad did not disappoint Su Cheng's expectations of them.
To this day, such a legend is still circulating in many places - the members of the Delan Immortal Squad are a group of "immortals" who can't be killed no matter how hard they are killed.
