May 27, 21st year of Chongning (1801 AD). Having completed six months of rigorous military training, Liu Qi and Luo Jun were now practically seasoned soldiers.
Originally, these recruits were supposed to be thrown onto the battlefield after just three months of military training. However, with the frontlines not facing any critical pressure, the rear command decided to extend the training by another three months. As a result, Liu Qi and his comrades were fortunate enough to remain in the training camp for an extra three months, only being mobilized and dispatched once the ice and snow had completely melted away.
For true soldiers—especially those caught in an era of war—the one thing still missing in their transformation into genuine fighters was killing. To slay enemies on the battlefield and earn military merit.
