"By the way, there's an emergency assembly tonight. Please remind the old squad leader in the cooking team to turn off the lights early."

Feng Yi gave a hint before leaving. He quickly found something amiss as soon as he stepped out, and it was written all over the faces of the soldiers. What could possibly be wrong?

"Everyone heard what you said. There's no need to pretend you don't know." Kula responded, struggling to suppress her laughter. The military officials at the table, who were dining together, all remained silent, hiding their smiles.

Feng Yi was left bewildered by Kula's comment. As he looked around, he noticed that not only Kula, but everyone else was also smiling weirdly.

"So, what time are you planning on calling the emergency assembly tonight?"

"Huh? How do you know I'm going to call for an emergency assembly?"

"It's not just me, everyone here knows." With a subtle glance at the loudspeaker, Kula let out a meaningful chuckle. Realizing something, Feng Yi rushed into the dining hall and asked the old squad leader about the location of the public broadcast button, leaving himself completely stunned when the old squad leader pointed it out to him.

Damn, talk about an embarrassing situation… No wonder there were some strange glances in the dining room; turns out his plan was exposed. This startled Feng Yi so much that he quickly told the old squad leader not to inform the cooking team to turn off the lights at the usual time, but to await further instructions if there were any changes.

Having said something to the group of soldiers who hadn't had dinner yet, Feng Yi skulked away, his tail tucked between his legs, realizing he had blundered.

"Since the instructor has given the order, let's eat! "Brothers, eat!" As soon as Balun bellowed, the famished soldiers, led by their squad leader, began to eat heartily. The clamor of cutlery echoed in the dining hall.

Despite feeling grateful for Feng Yi's secret kindness, the soldiers couldn't help but find the situation hilariously funny. Their admiration was genuine, as was the uproarious laughter echoing from the dining hall.

"Quiet! What is there to laugh about? No noise in the dining hall!" Kula quickly berated, yet she felt that her voice lacked its usual authority. It wasn't easy leading this bunch of unappreciative soldiers for so many years. In just a few days, Feng Yi had managed to win over not only the soldiers but their wages too.

That night, Feng Yi had no plans to sound the emergency assembly. He knew that those cunning soldiers were on guard against him and were likely prepared. However, he insisted on doing it anyway. After all, there was no such thing as compromise in his book. All he had in mind was to carry it through.

Beep, beep-beep-beep-beep-beep… As the assembly horn sounded, the entire camp was thrown into turmoil. Nobody was sleeping, the soldiers quickly got up, got dressed, put their caps on, and were ready with their backpacks. Some were in such a rush that they didn't even bother putting on their socks and hopped out barefooted. Some bumped into each other in their haste, while others, for convenience, chose to jump directly from the second floor, truly displaying the unrivaled fierceness of the God's Thorn regiment.

What was even more mind-boggling was that a regiment of two thousand soldiers had gathered in just 3 minutes and 28 seconds, 1 minute and 32 seconds quicker than Feng Yi's expected time.

Normally, it would take a company 3 minutes to assemble, a battalion 5 minutes, and a regiment 10 minutes. Although God's Thorn soldiers had exceptional military skills that exceeded that of regular troops, it was incredible to complete an emergency assembly in such a short time. It was a testament to the soldiers' combat readiness.

As usual, the second day started with drill. 10 kilometers of morning drill was a part of the daily warm-up routine for God's Thorn soldiers. Not much to say about that. Feng Yi followed along while reading a book, and the entire drill process was completed in no time.

In the morning shooting practice, Feng Yi tirelessly provided shooting training guidance for the soldiers. Logistics soldiers were also expected to participate. No one was exempt just because they were in logistics. A few female soldiers lay down in the shooting range, panting and grunting away. After half a day, they had only fired a few rounds, and the results were terrible to say the least; a 5 circle, an 8 circle, a 6 circle… the bullets went everywhere except where they were supposed to. Fortunately, none of them went astray.

Feng Yi bent down to teach the female soldiers about gun design. "Watch carefully. This is how you use the gun. Being aware of the wind is crucial. Use your mind's eye to sense everything around you." Feng Yi could even smell the faint scent wafting up to his face. Despite the close proximity, he had a responsibility to guide each soldier.

The close tutoring made many female soldiers blush and their hearts pound faster. Their close proximity to the instructor distracted them, and after the guidance, their shooting became even more erratic.

The scorers continued to report the shooting scores: "3 circle, 1 circle, don't shoot! You're aiming at your own people." Training the logistics personnel was just a minor episode as the main training topic for the day was about Mecha.

Hearing about Mecha excited the soldiers. The ones who were led to the main practice field are already eager to get started.

Firstly, what is a Mecha? It can be said that mobile fighters occupy an irreplaceable position on modern battlefields, and operating Mecha is a compulsory course for every active-duty soldier.

To operate Mecha, one must fully understand its characteristics. In the center of the main practice field, Feng Yi took the scout type Mecha as an example. This type of agile mecha requires the soldier to have an extremely high level of reflexes and coordination. Its seamless, compound input command system is not suitable for those with slower hand speed.

Take an automatic rifle for example; can you disassemble and assemble it within 15 seconds? If not, sorry, light mecha is not for you. Some may retort that given enough time to train, they can do it within 10 seconds. However, this would contradict the original intent of Feng Yi.

A Red Robe Level heavy mecha operator can easily operate the controls, but the efficiency of using a light mecha will never surpass that of a heavy mecha, which is what Feng Yi's message means.

Represented by the four squad leaders, Feng Yi asked them to line up a variety of commonly used training guns, started the timer, and asked them to disassemble and assemble the guns as fast as possible. Of course, this was just the first step, and the result might not be accurate. The subsequent tests included real hand speed test, muscle nerve reflex test, brain reflex test etc. were not listed here.

As Feng Yi gave the command, the laser-focused soldiers collectively turned their gazes to the four people…

Swipe, click! Cling… In the blink of an eye, the 881 automatic rifle was disassembled faster than a virgin's clothing being stripped off. Balun casually laid out the gun parts, using just 12 seconds to complete the disassembly process, the fastest of all.

Icebird was the one attracting most of the attention. She seems not very familiar with the 881 full auto rifle in her hands. Her movements were not fast, perhaps due to only partial understanding of its structure. However, there was no pause in Icebird's disassembly process. Her sleek handling was natural and impressive. She finished in 20 seconds, neatly laying out the parts in front of her just like her own personality.
