August 1st.
Pingting County.
The trumpet sounded on the drill ground, its sound long and resonant. The busy people in the city stopped their work and looked towards the direction of the drill ground.
As the morning sun rose, Chen Mo stood on the high platform of the drill ground, wearing Bright Armor, a Tang Blade at his waist, and a Strong Bow of Twelve Stones on his back. He was surrounded by a purple aura, resembling a War God descended to the mortal world.
On the sprawling drill ground, flags fluttered, with 1,200 Divine Martial Guards and 800 Divine Brave Guards fully armed and ready to go.
The Divine Brave Guards had the best equipment, each equipped with a long spear, a bow (with fifty arrows), wearing leather armor, carrying a small round shield, and a horizontal saber. Among them, Sun Meng led a unit of over 300 personal soldiers, all carrying crossbows.
