Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

Seeing Chu Angjie speak seriously, all the generals became solemn. Jiang Hui, the commander of the Fourth Army, spoke first: "Although the current situation cannot be described as entirely favorable, it is generally advantageous to our side. Outside Luowen County, three layers of defense have been constructed. The outermost layer is constructed with rocks, ironclad defenses, and several large elemental magic arrays, jointly stationed by the Slivian Empire, the Delin Kingdom, and the Imperial Army, with each unit defending its own area. The second layer is..."

Before he could finish speaking, someone immediately chimed in: "The second layer is composed of the Imperial Army and high-ranking Imperial adventurers. After the recapture of Luowen County, some mid- to low-ranking adventurers left first, but some high-ranking adventurers stayed behind to form a defensive line. Moreover, the troops in the second layer of the defensive line are mostly armies that are good at long-range attacks, such as the Seventh Army and the Sixteenth Army."

Chu Angjie looked over and saw that the speaker was Zhang Wenxin, the commander of the Seventh Army. He wanted to continue speaking, and Zhou Huabao, the commander of the Fifteenth Army, also chimed in: "The third layer consists of the garrison troops and the attack troops. Before the commander-in-chief arrived, the military headquarters had already discussed with the commanders-in-chief of the Slivia Empire and the Delin Kingdom that the troops of the first and third defensive lines would take turns defending the area, and the attack troops would also rest on the third layer after each attack."

"Yes, this arrangement is indeed appropriate. How is the city?" Chu Angjie nodded and continued to ask.

"The city is being rebuilt, and the people who had fled to other places are gradually returning. The western part of the city, which was previously severely damaged, is now used as a storage place for grain and equipment, with only a small number of troops stationed there. This is mainly to avoid disturbing the normal lives of the people and to try to stabilize public morale," Jiang Hui explained.

"What is the enemy situation in the Demon Kingdom?"

"The enemy is currently deployed in the west and south. Because the first line of defense is relatively long, the north cannot be besieged for the time being. The east is blocked by Shuiwen Mountain, and it will take the enemy at least half a month to bypass and attack. We have deployed a large number of scouts on the south side of Shuiwen Mountain, but have not yet found any trace of the enemy."

"And what is the overall battle situation?"

"Currently, our allied forces outnumber the enemy by nearly four times. The casualty exchange rate has dropped from five men to one to three men to one, and morale has been greatly boosted. Recently, the enemy has stopped large-scale operations and has instead maintained its offensive through small-scale skirmishes. Through recent battles, we have found that the enemy's morale is low, and we believe that we will soon be able to switch from defense to offense."

Upon hearing this, Chu Angjie finally smiled slightly. He stood up and said, "Alright, I've heard that a war between humans and demons took place a hundred years ago, during which the empire was destroyed. A hundred years later, we must not repeat the same mistakes. We must annihilate the invading demonic enemies here!"

The generals were about to echo Chu Angjie's bold words, but he didn't give them the chance at all and continued, "We were able to achieve our current situation thanks to the support of the reinforcements, and even more so to the bravery and wisdom of the soldiers. When we entered the city, I heard that the soldiers were talking about the new tactics they had invented, which is a good sign."

After praising the soldiers, he changed the subject: "However, there are also some who have never experienced the cruelty of war and who despise and belittle the soldiers' new tactics, even taking pleasure in it. I believe that such situations must be severely punished in the future!"

Chu Angjie's words gave the assembled generals a rough idea of ​​what was going on. It was probably that the child soldiers had privately mocked the soldiers after entering the city, but Chu Angjie had overheard it, otherwise he wouldn't have said those words.

"General Zhou Huabao."

"My subordinate is here."

"The academy's militia that accompanied me this time will now be under your command. I hope you will take good care of them, General."

After receiving the order, Zhou Huabao looked up and met Chu Angjie staring at him. After a moment of eye contact, Zhou Huabao understood Chu Angjie's unspoken meaning. Logically, Chu Angjie should have left these child soldiers in the city to perform tasks such as guarding provisions. Now that he had assigned them to him, who was on the front line, it was bound to make some of them suffer. However, he also had to ensure the safety of these students. This was truly a difficult task.

After the meeting, Zhou Huabao pulled Zhang Wenxin and Jiang Hui aside and complained, "What kind of situation is this? Those child soldiers have been handed over to me. According to the commander-in-chief, it's clear that he wants to make them suffer, but we also have to protect their lives. What should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hui simply patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, saying, "Keep it up, I have to get back to the front lines."

"Oh, what's wrong... General Zhang, what do you suggest we do?"

Zhang Wenxin didn't leave. He stood there for a long time before saying, "Isn't this simple? Train them like new recruits. Let them do the hardest and most tiring training first. Let them do the dirty and tiring work. Call it tempering their character. If anyone complains or talks back, deal with them according to military law. That way, they'll get to experience the hardship."

"What about saving your life?" Zhou Huabao pressed.

"Isn't that even simpler? When it really comes time to go into battle, just stop them from going. At worst, we can tell our allies to keep an eye on them. If any students do argue with our allies, they won't tolerate it. They'll probably suffer again. After a couple of troubles, we can find an excuse to return them to the commander-in-chief, and the mission will be accomplished."

Zhou Huabao pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "That's a good idea! Let's do it your way."

Soon, nearly 20,000 students received orders to go to the 15th Army's garrison and be placed under its command. Upon learning that the 15th Army's garrison was on the front line, some students were overjoyed, while others were gloomy. But despite their mixed feelings, they were now in the military camp, and military orders were paramount; they had no choice but to obey.

The group arrived at the 15th Army's camp in a grand procession. Zhou Huabao had ordered his men to greet them outside the camp. He had already prepared the itinerary for these child soldiers, intending to give them a little shock and dampen their arrogance.

The adjutant stood in front of the camp gate, looking at the students who had come before him, and shouted, "Now, assemble in square formations of one hundred men each. You only have three minutes!"

The students had no idea what a square formation meant; they only heard that it consisted of 100 people per team, so they immediately started calling out to their friends, wanting to form teams with those they knew. In no time, all 20,000 students were in chaos, creating a cacophony of noise. Three minutes quickly passed, and not a single decent square formation had been formed. The adjutant roared in fury, "A bunch of useless trash! You can't even assemble properly! Commander!"

"Here!" A dozen burly men responded and stepped forward.

"Go and properly teach these child soldiers how to assemble in formation!"

Upon receiving the order, a dozen or so captains immediately went to the crowd and forcefully pulled the students away from the line, forcing them to line up in groups of ten according to their own wishes, without caring whether the people they were pulling were male or female. Some students' arms were pinched painfully and they couldn't help but complain, but all they got in return were fierce looks from the captains and even more violent pulling.

In less than thirty minutes, the 20,000-strong army was divided into nearly two hundred hundred-person square formations. However, this exhausted the centurions, but they still returned to their adjutants with expressionless faces to report back.

The adjutant looked at the formation with satisfaction and gave the second order: "Now, select a centurion from your formation. The centurion will lead your team into the camp in an orderly manner, put down your luggage in your barracks, and then immediately assemble on the training ground. You only have twenty minutes!"
