That morning, Todd arose unusually early.
But when he arrived at the forest archery range for morning practice, he found that almost all the usual slackers had shown up!
"What's the matter, even you couldn't sleep well?" someone asked him.
"Who did anyway." Todd waved his hand, "After all, Instructor Xia and Instructor Sa said that if we lose, we'll be sent directly north to dig eggplants... I don't think either of them was joking."
"I heard Shepherd Instructor said the same at the Court of Holiness, threatening to send them to fill the gaps on the Ashen Front Line..."
"Ah? Really? Suddenly, I kind of envy the dwarves in Panstone Town."
"What's there to envy? They are the only team with a Totemist and Dwarf Firearms. Instructor Dahuang gave a crash course for a month, and Ian Hodel himself spoke; the pressure is no less than ours."
Todd wondered, "Was it this bloody in previous joint military exercises?"
"Who knows, maybe the instructors are just competing with each other."
