Chapter 664 - The Rascals’ Grand Aspirations 1

Chapter 664 The Rascals’ Grand Aspirations 1
The Han brothers had witnessed the vicious murders of their own parents and friends by the demons and developed an intense hatred towards them. They were unwilling to leave the camp and carry on peaceful lives. They wanted revenge for their parents and for their fellow villagers.
The resolution in the eyes of those two children astounded Ji Fengyan. However, looking at their tiny, weak bodies, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
“I understand where you are coming from, but you are too young.”
How to enlist such little kids into the army?
The demons could probably use them as dental floss on the battlefield.
“We will grow up!” Han Xiao stared steadily at Ji Fengyan. “General, let us stay. We will train together with the seniors. The day will come when we can enter the battlefield and kill our enemies. We will definitely not besmear the name of the Wolf Smoke Regiment!”
“General, we will be obedient. My elder brother and I will both strive to become legitimate warriors.” Han Yu spoke up bravely.
Ji Fengyan felt a headache coming on. She was used to dealing with naughty rascals, but with such obedient ones… she really didn’t know how to turn them away.
Watching the scene from the side, Linghe couldn’t help laughing at the children’s firm resolve and Ji Fengyan’s frustrated expression.
“Miss… um, General, do let them stay. They have decent bone structures and will probably develop well after a few years of training. Our Wolf Smoke Regiment needs courageous soldiers, do let them stay…”
Linghe’s words were slightly suspect, but still a rather fair depiction.
The Han brothers might be weak and skinny but were quite big-boned. They had lived in a remote village and lacked proper nutrition, but they were nonetheless taller than other children their age.
“General, let us be your wolf pups!” The two delicate children stared at Ji Fengyan with bright eyes.
Her… wolf pups?
The corners of Ji Fengyan’s lips twitched. Where had these two brats learned that phrase from?
After considering for a while, Ji Fengyan finally took a deep breath. “I can let you stay on, but the moment you do, it means you have given up your status as citizens. From that point onwards, you are soldiers and you will no longer be permitted to do as you please like before. Whatever training the other soldiers undergo, you must follow. You cannot whine, you cannot cry. Otherwise, I will immediately send you to the village.”
Ji Fengyan had purposely used an extremely stern tone.
But…
“Thank you General. Thank you, Lord General!” The two wolf pups were completely unfazed and only felt a gush of gratitude towards Ji Fengyan.
Ji Fengyan’s headache intensified. She held her forehead with one hand and waved the other. “Brother Ling, take them with you.”
It was a rare sight to see Ji Fengyan caught in a bind and Linghe couldn’t help but smile. He led the Han brothers into the barracks, planning to provide them some basic training first.
As she watched them depart, Ji Fengyan couldn’t resist giving a loud moan.
“What kind of situation is this? I am in need of soldiers and not such little rascals…” Ji Fengyan was very worried. Yang Shun had advised her earlier that building a powerful army troop was the key to stabilizing her position in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon’s military.
Ji Fengyan was still brooding over how to increase the numbers in her troop when these two came knocking on her door.
But…
They were just way too young!
