"Yes sir!" General Li accepted his orders and limped away. Xuanyuan Mo looked at his awkward posture and suddenly felt a lot happier.
Finally, someone accompanied him and got injured. This feeling was extremely refreshing.
The injuries of the two had something in common. They were equally shameful and similarly shameful. Just thinking about it made one feel that it would be a very beautiful thing.
The various captains quickly calculated their numbers. As Li Ruo listened carefully, Xuanyuan Mo's calculation ability was extremely good. After the captains finished reporting, he told them all the numbers that remained.
"23,700 people!"
Li Ruo lifted her head, her eyes filled with admiration. If not for the current location, she would have suspected that she herself would hug Xuanyuan Mo and give him a big kiss.
One had to know that Li Ruo was a mathematical idiot. If it wasn't for Su Lin helping her before, she wouldn't even know how much trouble she would have caused. Thus, at this moment, Xuanyuan Mo only showed his small hand and Li Ruo started worshipping him.
However, worshipping was a form of worship. At the moment, he had yet to finish all the important matters.
"Xuanyuan Mo, your thirty thousand elite soldiers, what do you think!" She smiled and quickly recorded the number on the kraft paper she carried with her. Her face was full of mockery.
"Indeed, this is my problem!" Although in his heart, he was slandering these brats for not giving him face, Xuanyuan Mo would never deny the mistakes he had committed. Now that he heard Li Ruo's words, he agreed without hesitation.
"Indeed, we should carefully investigate. It's just that so many people have already been eliminated in this small test. At this moment, I'm starting to doubt whether there's still a hundred people remaining after the dozen or so competitions that will take us three days!"
"What will happen if we do not have a hundred people?" A high-ranking officer next to him asked. Li Ruo didn't even raise her eyebrows as she looked at him.
"If there are none, then there will be a few trainings. If there are none, then we can only cancel!" Although he said that, if Li Ruo was convinced, there wouldn't be not a single one.
She didn't know about the other teams, but of the people she had brought with her, there would definitely be people who would stay until the end. For example, Yu Yang, Dazhuang, Cheng Ziheng … Maybe there was something else.
However, according to her guess, there should not be more than five of them. Although their endurance was relatively good, their comprehensive abilities were still far inferior to the others.
"It's getting late. Tell everyone to disperse. "I'll see you at the back of the mountain in an hour!"
In order to save time, Li Ruo ordered the various teams to compete with each other first, and then gathered all the victors to perform the final round. After a round of competition, another five thousand people were eliminated, and with Xuanyuan Mo's hand on his forehead, it was clear that he did not want to face this reality.
By the time the last fight of the shooting competition was over, the sun had already set and the forest was gradually sinking into darkness.
No matter if it's the target or you guys, they are shooting at the target at a fixed distance. Everyone has been selected, and I have to admit that the military is indeed a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons are hidden. Among you, many of you are experts! That's right! Li Ruo was never stingy with her praise when she decided on something. Thus, at this moment, what she said was the truth.
"Then, we are going to carry out the final challenge!"
Just as Li Ruo finished her sentence, the targets in the forest began to move. At that moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from behind them.
"As I said before, this is a riding competition. Since it's a riding competition, how can you just stand there? Furthermore, we have all been on the battlefield before, so we should be very clear on one thing. The enemy will never be able to stand on the spot and wait for you to fight them, so … " Li Ruo stroked the hair on the side of a horse as she smiled mysteriously. There was no need to say anything else, everyone already understood what was going on.
"Everyone, don't put on such doubts or think that I'm just playing around or joking. I don't have that kind of hobby!"
"Also, do not tell me that it is already late. You guys can't see, let alone accurately shoot at the target. In order to dispel everyone's doubts, I will personally demonstrate it! Please, everyone, look carefully. "
Li Ruo smiled and jumped onto the horse.
Grabbing the arrows that were identical to those given by Xuanyuan Mo to the guards, he loaded them into the quiver and raised his hand to signal for everyone to prepare themselves.
Xuanyuan Mo, start!" "Li Ruo's strong point was her pistol, which hit the enemy's vitals with a hundred shots. It could be said that she was very good at shooting, but she didn't have a gun in the ancient times, so she also trained a bit. She believed in her skills, although this arrow wasn't as easy or effective as a gun, it shouldn't be that bad either.
"Alright!" Xuanyuan Mo naturally couldn't wait. He had never seen all of Li Ruo's abilities before, but seeing how interested she was, he was even more excited than she was.
"Begin!" As they spoke, Liru's horse was already galloping forward like a flying horse. The forest was still growing, so everyone could see Liruo's movements clearly, the people holding the targets were quickly changing positions, the trees that were almost as tall as them just now gave them a chance to hide, just looking at them from the outside was already bewildering, not to mention having to complete these difficult movements on horseback.
Everyone held their breath, nervously following Li Ruo's figure.
That tiny body was still mounted on the horse, facing the target that suddenly appeared, orderly and orderly. She was like a king in the dark, glowing in her domain.
Taking advantage of the opening, she heard a searching sound. An arrow had already left her palm and was firmly embedded into one of the targets, hitting the heart.
Everyone cried out in alarm. Xuanyuan Mo's eyebrows shot up as he laughed so hard that his eyes curved into crescents. This little lady is truly incredible. He definitely had to protect his precious wife well. He absolutely could not let others have the opportunity to take advantage of her. Otherwise, if someone chased him away before he could, he would not be able to reap the benefits. At that time, not only would his heart ache, even his body would be in pain.
Liruo's shot had hit a target, and the people in the forest were moving even faster. At that moment, Liruo shot out another arrow, and it hit the heart.
If saying that the first time was an accident, then the second time was strength. Everyone felt an itch in their hearts and wanted to personally try it out.
At the same time, Liru quickly attacked, and just as the third arrow was about to be shot out, the horse was suddenly startled, raising its front legs high up, almost causing Liru's tiny body to shake down. Liru rolled to his side, but Xuanyuan Mo's face turned cold, and was already ready to attack.
Just as everyone thought that she would fall to the ground after shooting the arrow, she was dragged by the reins, her entire body being dragged to the side by the horse. Her head was only a few centimeters away from the ground, and the horse continued to run forward, showing no signs of stopping at all, the situation was extremely critical.
Xuanyuan Mo clenched his fists tightly, his eyes following Li Ruo's every step of the way.
As long as he was in danger, he would attack without hesitation.
But that must be when he was sure she really couldn't hold on any longer, because Li Ruo had specially instructed him not to interfere no matter what happened.
He had indeed agreed to it at the time, but if Laiyu hadn't protected him, he wouldn't have cared at all.
Ruo Ruo's small body was tightly hanging on the side of the horse. Her hair, which had been cut short and tied into a ponytail, was now completely spread out, dragging along the ground and occasionally hanging on the thorns in the forest. Waves of blood were tearing at her scalp, a bloody scratch on her hand from the reins, and some blood was already trickling down her black sleeve and into her arm.
Without time to think, Liru observed the situation closely and suddenly realized that there were a lot of wooden stakes left behind after the trees were chopped down. Her face turned cold, if she did not hurry up and get up, she would at least lose half her life if her head was hit.
Everyone held their breaths as the atmosphere became extremely tense. Xuanyuan Mo clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands bulged. He placed his hands behind his back, not a hint of worry could be seen on his face.
"Mistress, quickly think of a way, if the princess falls, it will be troublesome!" General Li immediately wiped the sweat off Liru's forehead. He was anxious, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Wait a little longer!" Xuanyuan Mo was naturally anxious and he was also naturally afraid. He knew more than anyone what General Li was talking about, but unless it was absolutely necessary, he really could not take action. Otherwise, Li Ruo's efforts would have been wasted and it would be difficult to carry out the following selection and training.
This was her dream, so even if everyone was in a state of confusion, he could not panic.
At this moment, a half a man tall wooden stake appeared in front of Liru. The horse continued to gallop forward without a care for its life. Everyone was frightened, if it were to run into them … The consequences were unimaginable.
"Mistress, quick!" General Li was sweating profusely from anxiety. At this moment, Ruo Ruo's horse had already run far away. Only Xuanyuan Mo had the ability to save her.
With a flash of his ink robe, he disappeared from where he was. However, it was just a short while before he stopped at a place not too far away. The worry on his face had gradually turned into gratification as he quietly looked at Li Ruo who had returned to her horse.
He knew that she would be able to do it, but when he saw that she was in danger, he couldn't help but feel fear.
