Age Of Islands: I Can See Through All Things Chapter 37
Advertisement
Instantly, everyone took three steps forward and slowly stopped.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw their actions.
From start to stop, they took three steps, clean and neat.
Then Cyril shouted again, "Everyone, turn to the right!"
There was a swoosh sound followed by a bang that resounded. Their movements were still clean and efficient.
Many people tried hard to pick out their flaws.
That would prove that this group of people was nothing special.
But after listening for a long time, they did not hear anything out of synchronization.
Cyril swept his gaze over the crowd, and he nodded internally at their stunned expressions.
The effect was surprisingly good!
Then, Cyril jogged to the stage and stopped five meters away from Jack. He stood at attention and saluted, shouting: "Reporting to the President, the First Company of the Ceremonial Guards has gathered, reporting strength of 24 people. Please give us your instructions."
Jack stood and returned Cyril's salute, "Move as planned."
"Yes, Mr. President," Cyril replied before running toward the stage, "Everyone, stand at attention."
Cyril commanded the actions one by one.
The effect was remarkable. In addition, Regiment Commander Enger had created the uniforms in time.
This made the aura of this group of people rise to another level.
Jack looked around and saw that everyone was shaken.
There were even some people who could not help but follow Cyril's orders.
This scene pleased Jack greatly.
If everyone saw the effect, it would be much easier to promote in the future!
After all, Jack's goal was to build a modern army!
The ceremonial guards' assessment was soon completed.
Jack was very pleased with their performance.
After the assessment, the army was arranged to enter the castle on the same day.
Their food had also been changed to highland barley.
As for the Gold Swordsmen, they were exhausted.
This was because they had to plant battle aura seeds for these official soldiers.

After doing all of this, they still could not rest. They had to watch and guide the newbies from the side. Only after making sure that they could operate on their own would they be able to relax and report to the higher-ups.
The soldiers who had just obtained their battle aura seeds did not have any training at first. They were all fed with large amounts of meat and highland barley to quickly increase their strength.
Thanks to Jack, everyone improved very quickly.
Three days later, most people entered the realm of Silver Swordsman.
There were also many talented people who had reached the Intermediate Silver rank.
Listening to the instructors' reports, Jack could not help but nod.
At the same time, he was also very glad. If it were not for the highland barley and White Horse Treasure Chicken, these people probably would not have progressed so quickly.
Coupled with the large amount of training in the early stages, their physical fitness had improved a lot. That was why they could grow instantly after gaining the battle aura seed.
Watching their progress, Jack could not help but shake his head.
He originally thought that he was gifted!
But now it seemed that it was all thanks to the highland barley.
Otherwise, with his talent and busy schedule, he would not have the time to raise his cultivation realm!
Fortunately, with the system backing him, Jack did not panic at all!
While Jack was deep in thought, almost all the higher-ups on the island arrived.
First was Steward Steve, followed by Regiment Commander Enger, then Eugene who was now the Captain of the Royal Guards and Marine Commando Unit, then Cyril, Captain of the Ceremonial Guards, then Snike, Captain of the Hunter Squad, and finally Alice who had no special role.
Everyone sat in their seats and looked at Jack.
Seeing that everyone was here, Jack said, "Everyone, I called you here today for one thing. You've prepared for so long. Now is the time for everyone to test your results!"

When everyone heard the president's words, they looked confused.
"Mr. President, what do you mean?" Steve asked as he stroked his beard.
Eugene could not help but ask, "Yeah, do we still need more inspections? Who is it this time?"
Looking at their confusion, Jack smiled and said, "The target of this review is everyone on the island."
Everyone could not help but be stunned by Jack's words.
Then, Regiment Commander Enger said in confusion, "Let the slaves attend the inspection?"
"Yeah, President, that does not seem to fit with the rules, doesn't it?" Steve chimed in.
A peculiar light flashed through Cyril's eyes, but he did not say anything.
Jack shook his head and asked, "Enger, as the regiment commander of the slaves, did the mermen incident affect everyone's normal life?"
Hearing the president's question, Enger was stunned and could not help but recall.
He had brought many slaves with him.
But that was only a small portion of the slaves.
Most slaves were still terrified.
Especially after so many Silver Swordsmen died, they were even more afraid.
If this was not an island that they could not escape from, they would have left long ago.
Even so, many slaves expressed their wish to migrate to the inner part of the island.
Enger thought about it for a moment, but could not figure out what the president meant. So he said honestly, "It did, and quite a bit at that. They want to move inland, but you didn't give the orders, so I suppressed them."
"But does that have to do with the inspection?" Enger asked.
The others also looked interested.
Jack nodded, "Of course! We're about to enter the farming season, and the farm industry has to be built in sync. If the people are thinking of other things at this moment, would they still be in the mood to do their work properly?"
Enger asked: "Mr. President, are you thinking too much? These are just some slaves. Do they dare to rebel?"
"Rebel?" Jack shook his head. They did not dare at all. After all, their soul contract was still in his hands.
He could kill all of them in an instant.
But that was not what Jack wanted, his desire was to have a peaceful and dependable base.
Jack answered: "Of course, they won't rebel. But if they don't have confidence in our army, they will naturally be frightened and lose hope in life. This way, we might not be able to see any flaws in the short term, but as time passes, these people will definitely panic. Also, the war won't end in a short period of time. When that time comes, who will produce food for us?"
"Mr. President, what you mean is to give the slaves confidence. We want to assure them that we can definitely win this battle." Steve's eyes lit up.
Jack nodded and said: "This war is not only between us and the mermen, it also involves everyone else. We must let them know this and let them see that we are fully prepared. As long as we persist, we will definitely be able to stop them! And once they can't persevere, the only thing waiting for them is death. That way, they won't slack off and put in minimal effort."
Hearing Jack's words, everyone could not help but gasp.
No one expected the President to have such an accurate grasp of human mentality!
At first, they thought this was unnecessary.
