Although the soldiers 'discussion was soft, some of it still reached Mu Ge's ears. Mu Ge was indifferent to it and pretended not to hear it.
After the 2,500 people had gathered, Mu Ge walked up to a high platform under the sun and shouted at the soldiers below the stage. His voice was loud and clear, and everyone below the stage could hear him clearly."My name is Mu Ge, I'm your new Imperial Army Lieutenant. I'm in charge of the entire Imperial Army. You can call me Lord Mu or Commander Mu.”
The soldiers below the stage looked at the young Mu Ge speaking with confidence and felt a little unbalanced. They thought that a commoner like Mu Ge could become a lieutenant in an instant. Some soldiers even looked down on Mu Ge and thought that he was just a noob.
"Although your Royal Guards are the most elite army of the Great Han Dynasty, in my opinion, it's just so-so.”Mu Ge's words were shocking. Even the commandant Zhang Yifeng looked displeased, let alone the other soldiers. They all glared at Mu Ge.
This was the effect Mu Ge wanted. He didn't stop talking and continued,""All of you eat the best food in the world and receive the highest salary in the world, yet you have trained to such a state. You are only good at fighting and fighting. I don't think you are any better than other ordinary soldiers.“
Whoosh!
The crowd was boiling. They were all young and hot-blooded men, so how could they accept such humiliation? These royal guards who had always boasted of themselves as the Great Han's imperial teachers were filled with righteous indignation and were very dissatisfied with Mu Ge.
"Sir, what right do you have to say that about us?”
"That's right. We're millions of times better than ordinary soldiers!”
"Sir, are you insulting us? Even Great General He has never said anything bad about us!”
"If you say that we have flowery moves, then what about you, sir? You look like a pedantic scholar, haha!"
Mu Ge had ignited everyone's anger. These soldiers no longer cared if Mu Ge was their commander and retaliated against Mu Ge. They were the royal guards and had always thought that their status was higher than others. How could they allow others to provoke and humiliate them?
Zhang Yifeng didn't say anything, but he didn't stop the soldiers from protesting against Mu Ge.
"Then it seems that you are not convinced by my new position as a lieutenant?”Mu Ge asked with a smile.
"As a commandant, you have to show your true abilities, let alone as a commandant of our Royal Guards. If you can defeat me, I will immediately kowtow to you and admit my mistake.”A man who was even more muscular than the other soldiers stood up and said arrogantly.
"That's right. Only those who can defeat us can become our lieutenant. If you don't have the ability, then don't come to our Royal Guards.”
"That's right. Let's fight first."
"If we win, we'll kowtow and admit our mistakes!”
The soldiers below agreed. Zhang Yifeng might have felt that it was too much and stood up to scold them to calm the situation, but he was stopped by Mu Ge.
"Very good, I admire soldiers with guts. Since you all want to see if I, a lieutenant, have the qualifications to control you, then I will satisfy your request.”Mu Ge took off his armor and wore only his inner clothes.
"Any of you can come and challenge me. If any of you can defeat me, I, as a lieutenant, will immediately retire and return to my hometown.”Mu Ge said.
"Good!" The soldiers cheered. Mu Ge's words won everyone's favor. It seemed that this lieutenant was also a heroic person.
Mu Ge continued," But if none of you can defeat me, then it proves that I'm right. I don't need you to kowtow and admit your mistakes. But from now on, you have to listen to me completely. You have to carry out all the reasonable military orders I arrange for you. How about it?”
"Good!" "No problem!" "If you win, we'll let you say whatever you want!”The soldiers all agreed. Mu Ge's request was not too much, so they naturally agreed.
Just like that, the battle between the soldiers and the lieutenant began on the drill ground of the royal guards.
"Are you sure you want to fight me alone? I advise you to call more people over.”Mu Ge said to the burly man who was leading the group.
"Hmph, just me alone is enough. Sir, please.”The burly soldier even made a gesture to Mu Ge, telling him to attack first. He seemed very confident.
"Then it would be impolite of me to refuse." Mu Ge wasn't annoyed. He reminded him and walked towards the muscular soldier.
Whoosh!
Mu Ge's fist was as fast as lightning. Before the burly man could react, it had already struck his chest.
Bang!
With a dull thud, the soldier fell to the ground, his face twitching in pain. The surrounding thousands of soldiers were dumbfounded. It had only been one round, and he had lost?
After a short moment of pain, the soldier who had fallen to the ground crawled up from the ground. He roared and pounced at Mu Ge. He wanted to wash away the humiliation he had just suffered.
Mu Ge faced him head-on. He raised his leg and kicked the man's chest. Seeing that the man was about to fly off the platform, Mu Ge quickly pulled him back from the edge of the platform to prevent him from falling and getting injured.
The soldier knew that Mu Ge had already shown mercy to him. He knelt down in shame and bowed to Mu Ge."Thank you for your magnanimity, sir. I kowtow to you as an apology and will be at your service in the future.”
The soldier was about to kowtow when Mu Ge pulled him up and said with a smile,""There's no need for the kowtow ceremony. Go down and rest. If you're still not feeling well, I'll get someone to look for a doctor for you.”
The burly soldier was extremely touched. He cupped his fists and bowed to Mu Ge before walking down. This scene was clearly seen by the 2,000 soldiers, and they had a good impression of Mu Ge.
"Are there still people coming? If I win, I'll still lose.”Mu Ge shouted at the audience.
A few soldiers who were eager to try urged each other to go up the platform. There were a total of five people.
"Sir, I'm sorry for offending you." The five soldiers cupped their fists at Mu Ge. Their attitude towards Mu Ge changed drastically.
