The Knight's Journey to the Empire

"Martin, if I want to replace Ramos and let someone else serve as the military officer, who do you think is the most suitable?" Soran pondered for a long time and suddenly asked.

Martin immediately said sincerely: "This is entirely up to the young master, I will listen to you!"

Soran stared at Martin's eyes silently for a long time, then turned his head silently and continued to pay attention to the progress of the assessment competition.

As he watched the young master turn his head away, the corners of Martin's mouth slightly raised!

Who is most suitable?

Of course Martin is the most suitable one!

Anyone who can serve as a territory military officer must be of the professional rank of a formal knight, so that he can win the support of the people!

And under the young master, there are five people who currently have the professional level of entering the knight profession!

Among them, Wolfe served as a political officer, Gubellini needed to take over Javier's position as tax officer, and Borgia's brain was even dumber than Ramos.

And Henry, who is his most competitive opponent, has not yet made a breakthrough.

So who else could it be except him, Martin!

Of course, Martin just mentioned so many shortcomings of Ramos, but he didn’t make them up with the intention of belittling Ramos.

But Ramos does have these problems in his real work, and everyone can see it.

He said this just to tell the young master the truth!

However, there is a suspicion that the explanation is somewhat evasive, that’s for sure!

After all, people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places!

This is an opportunity to move up, who wouldn’t want to seize it?

Moreover, he was not in the territory when the officials were appointed.

Otherwise, the position of military officer would definitely belong to him!

Now, Martin is just taking back what originally belonged to him!

…………

This selection assessment is also divided into three assessment items:

The first assessment item is lifting a stone ball, which tests personal strength.

Strength is the foundation of an elite soldier. Without great strength, how can one take up a weapon and go into battle to kill the enemy!

All members of the territory guard team must pass this strength assessment, and only the forty strongest members among them can enter the next assessment item.

The second assessment item is the 400-meter sprint, which tests personal speed.

Speed ​​is also the basis of an elite soldier. Without a relatively fast speed, you can’t even escape, let alone chase the enemy on the battlefield.

Of the forty people who passed the first assessment item, only twenty can pass the second assessment item and then proceed to the next assessment item.

The third assessment item is a five-kilometer long-distance run carrying a 40-pound sandbag, which tests personal endurance.

Endurance is also the basis of an elite soldier. You have to know that just a set of knight's half-body armor weighs more than 40 to 50 kilograms. Without a certain level of endurance, you will become a weakling after running a few steps after putting on the armor.

In this final assessment, only the top ten fastest runners will be given a spot in the Lord's Knight Guard.

…………

In this assessment, there are only two people worth mentioning, namely Allen and another young man named Gobolo.

First up is Allen.

During the initial recruitment assessment, he could only barely lift the 90-kilogram stone ball.

But now, after more than twenty days of nutritional supplements and physical exercise, his physical fitness has recovered to some extent.

Therefore, in this first strength test of lifting a stone ball, he lifted the 90-kilogram stone ball with ease.

Finally, he tried to lift the 100-kilogram stone ball, but he could not move it after lifting it to waist height.

This operation shocked many people present!

You know, Allen is still thin and weak now, and weighs only about 100 pounds.

A person's strength is generally proportional to his weight!

So no one understands how Allen, with such a thin body, could burst out with such powerful strength!

Soran used his Arcane Eye to observe Allen and found that his original information of [17/25; Talent: Natural Strength] had now become [18/25; Talent: Natural Strength].

Allen's physical fitness has increased a bit, so his strength has also increased.

But Soran knew that this was definitely not Allen's limit!

Allen's health is still somewhat impaired and there is still a lot of room for recovery.

Therefore, if he can make up for his physical deficiencies in the future, when his physical fitness reaches its peak of 25 points, the strength he can exert will definitely be more than three times that of people of the same level!

Three times the strength of an ordinary person!

Soran couldn't help but sigh: This talent is really terrifying!

But unfortunately, Allen did not pass the second test.

He was still a little weak, and running speed was his strong point.

However, Soran did not force Allen into his knight guard team.

He thought it would be better to let Allen continue training with the Territory Guard and slowly make up for his physical deficiencies.

Because the training plan for the future Knight Guard Squad was specially formulated and implemented by him.

The training plan he developed is a bit too intense for Allen now.

If it is implemented forcibly, it will not only fail to achieve the effect of physical exercise, but it may even damage the foundation and destroy future growth potential.

Then there was Gobolo.

This is a sturdy young man. In terms of strength and speed, he is above average among the more than 80 people in the territory guard team, but he can still see through the crowd.

In terms of endurance, it’s pretty good. I came in fifth place in the final weighted long-distance race.

But what impressed Soran was the tenacity he displayed!

An indomitable and tenacious tenacity!

In the last event, the weighted long-distance run, his speed was slow at the beginning and he even fell to last place at one point.

But he always gritted his teeth, desperately followed the pace of others and never gave up.

Later, when everyone slowed down due to fatigue, he was able to grit his teeth, maintain a good running speed with a ferocious look, and try his best to catch up.

In the end, he surpassed one comrade after another and achieved a good result of fifth place.

Soran also observed him with his Arcane Eyes and found that his value was: 18/20.

Well, physical fitness, talent and so on are all normal.

But Sauron felt that, based on his tenacity, he could still be trained!

After all, although talent can determine a person's foundation, a strong and unyielding will can also allow one to break through the upper limit!
