Starting Today I'll Work As A City Lord

It was six o'clock in the morning. A sharp whistle sounded, accompanied by Ben's sons yelling and with some chaos.

"One two three four, one two three four, one two three four!"

"One two three four!"

The sound of messy footsteps paired with loud shouts. That was what the residents of Sedona City saw in the morning. They were at a loss standing on the side of the streets, looking at the group of people running while carrying sandbags and shouting numbers in rhythm.

"What are these people doing in the morning? Didn't they join the army?"

"They're probably training. It's just that their training method is a bit weird. They actually came out to run in the morning."

"I heard that knights train by practicing dueling and fighting with spears…"

"However, they wear pretty good clothes. They all have new clothes. I heard that there are large pieces of meat to eat in the military camp. I don't know if it's true though."

"I wonder when the army will start recruiting again. I also want to join the army."

This was the first time the residents of Sedona City had seen an army morning run.

Aiden and his brothers ran at the side, holding a wooden stick. They would harshly whip at whoever slowed down a little.

"All of you, run. Or else I'll whip you to death." Aiden yelled.

148 people quickly ran out of Sedona City and ran around Sedona City under the morning light.

Chris was a powerful hunter. In the beginning he didn't realize the point of running. But after running for sometime he started panting and saw Aiden and his brothers still breathing steadily. He realized that they were making them run to train their endurance and stamina.

When the recruits returned to Sedona City, they saw Lucas standing outside of the military camp looking at them.

"We pay our respects to Lord Lucas." Aiden and his brothers yelled and the others quickly followed suit.

Lucas looked at the 100 people. They all looked refreshed, completely different from yesterday.

"Start today's training. Don't mind me." Lucas waved his hand.

"Yes."

Aiden led the recruits into the military camp and immediately sent someone to sort out the military camp. They would eat breakfast half an hour later.

"Young master, if these people practice for half a month or so and then are equipped with a spear. They would have some combat power and would be able to take on average horse thieves." Ben said. He had come to the military camp with Lucas.

"They are too weak. So many people fainted just from running. Their physique is terrible." Lucas shook his head. He saw many people being carried back.

"Their foundation is too weak, My Lord. It's good that they can actually do this much." Ben said.

"I'll leave it be for the time being. For now, let's look at how well they've cleaned their houses." Lucas changed the subject. What he wanted were soldiers that could solo 10 people. He wasted so much energy and money on the military camp and if the soldiers could only deal with ordinary horse thieves. Then he would immediately withdraw half of his investment and would rather invite knights to join.

They went around to look. They were quite satisfied with the new soldiers' housekeeping. Lucas didn't have too high requirements in the beginning.

After all, things like folding blankets and placing shoes were made to train people's discipline. Only by starting with the details in life can people develop a habit faster. A soldier's duty is to obey orders. Lucas wanted a disciplined army, an army that would obey his orders.

And they would not be the trash soldiers that would scream their lungs out and just charge in at the enemies. It would be okay if they were fighting an asymmetrical war where they have the advantage, but against strong enemies they would get dispersed immediately.

After inspecting all the houses. It was already 7 in the morning and they went into the cafeteria to eat breakfast.

Lucas took Mina and Ben to the cafeteria and heard Aiden reprimanding people as soon as they walked into the door.

"All of you line up properly. Whoever dares to cut in line doesn't get to eat breakfast today."

The noisy team immediately went silent. Some of them only eat 1 meal a day and now that they actually get to eat breakfast in the military camp no one dared to cause trouble.

Today, the breakfast was 2 steamed buns that were twice the size of a fist and a bowl of soup made from boar bones. The people's eyes glowed as they chewed the buns. The soft white buns were 100 times tastier than the wheat bread that they eat usually. The soup was so good that they almost shed tears.

Lucas was full after eating one steamed bun and a bowl of soup. He nodded in satisfaction after seeing the reaction of the people around him. Who wouldn't work hard for him if life in the army is this good? The steamed buns here taste good and now these people wouldn't be able to eat wheat bread.

"This soup is delicious." Mina drank the soup in one gulp.

"Let's go. We'll leave this place to Aiden and the others. Let's take a look at other things right now." Lucas stood up and gave the steamed bun that he hadn't eaten to Mina.

Mina's eyes turned into crescent moons. She took the steamed bun and took small bites. The two steamed buns could only make her 70% full.

Ben swiftly followed behind them. In his current appearance, no one would be able to say that he was a cripple. He walked more powerfully than an average person.

"Uncle Ben, I already made people buy warhorses. There shouldn't be a big problem. Let's go take a look at the weapons right now," Lucas led the way to the warehouse.

The things inside the warehouse were the things that he brought from Earth a few days ago. Today was the time to let people see them.
