Feiyan City, City Guard, early morning.
The sun rose from beyond the mountains, slowly illuminating the ancient city walls. The morning air was still a bit chilly, yet the soldiers of the City Guard had already gathered at the training field to begin today's morning drill.
After the nobles left, most of the soldiers recruited by the City Guard were now from the civilian class, many were even from poor backgrounds struggling to make ends meet; everyone cherished this hard-won opportunity and treasured this iron rice bowl.
"Holding a sword is a lifesaving skill! If the sword tip deviates by half an inch, your guts will be fed to the dogs!"
