Olivia, who was holding a bunch of dogs, was not as agile as Leo. With a feint, he bypassed Olivia, the old hen, and picked up the hind legs of the largest dog. Wow, this weighs at least fifty pounds, almost as heavy as a mouse. Due to their racial genes, dog-headed people grow very fast and can reach adulthood within three years after birth. An adult kobold is about meters tall. After reaching adulthood, their height begins to slow down and they start to grow horizontally, and their bodies begin to become sturdy. The food distribution in the Gnoll tribe in the wilderness is uneven. The little Gnolls are not getting enough nutrition, and the newly adult Gnolls are skinny, like golden retrievers standing up. When they reach adulthood and have more food allocated, they start to gain weight and build muscle, and the skinny golden retriever begins to transform into a muscular bitch. Some who eat more and develop well can grow another 20 to 30 centimeters in height, and their weight can even triple. Like the kobold blacksmith in Riverbend, who eats two meals a day and works on iron from morning to night, his height and weight increase significantly. It is much stronger than its peers, and its arms are thicker than human calves.
The leader of a kobold tribe is often the strongest one, and has the highest food allocation, almost monopolizing the tribe's meat. Fesa's father, the previous kobold chief, almost grew into a werewolf. The little kobold in Leo's hand was one of the first kobold cubs sent to the River Bend. It is estimated that it has just turned one year old, but because the food in River Bay is so good, its size is now almost close to that of an adult kobold. Such a big kobold boy was hiding behind Olivia and pretending to be a cub. Leo expressed his contempt for him. Olivia cried distressedly, "What are you doing?" Leo briefly told Olivia his thoughts, and she felt relieved. She put down the crying cub in her arms and comforted the rest of the half-grown puppies. She was afraid that Leo might be curious and want to kill a dog to try something new! There's nothing Leo Mundo can't do! Holding the eldest of the kobold cubs upside down, Leo arbitrarily divided the kobold cubs into two groups, big and small. He ignored the little whimpering monsters hiding under Olivia's skirt and ordered the fifteen selected kobolds, "Follow me!" The fifteen little dog-headed people were even more afraid of Leo than they were of their old father. Upon hearing what was said, they followed Leo closely all the way to the beach at the river bend. This area is the training ground for the militia, with many archery targets, training wooden swords, wooden shields, wooden spears and other props placed there. The militia have dispersed at this time, but there are still a dozen human teenagers training. From the north to the river bend, the young and strong people in the village were often killed in battles, so the proportion of women and children among the villagers was not small. In addition to some children who often need Olivia's care, there are also many teenagers over ten years old and under fifteen years old. Boys and girls of this age can no longer be called children in the North. They have to work like adults every day, and some young boys even become the backbone of their families after their fathers died in the war. During this period, several projects in Hewan were completed one after another, and the development entered a slow period. Leo organized these teenagers into reserve forces and participated in the training of the militia. Having been a sports student for several years in his previous life, Leo knew very well the importance of nutrition and exercise during adolescence. Compared with the adult militiamen, these teenagers are undoubtedly more growth-oriented and malleable.
Even if all the militiamen can be trained into regular infantry of the empire through continuous training and actual combat, less than one tenth of them can eventually become heavy-armored elite infantry. After all, the foundation is there. Without targeted training since childhood, unless ordinary people are gifted, it is difficult for them to carry weapons and heavy armor weighing a total of one hundred pounds and march into battle. When they arrived at the militia training camp, Leo gathered everyone together and called out a half-grown boy. This boy is less than fifteen years old, but he behaves maturely and calmly, and he has good skills. He is usually responsible for the training of the youth team. "From now on, you are the third squadron of the River Bend Militia. Noyce, you are now promoted to captain of the third squadron." "These fifteen Kobolds will also join the Third Squadron and train with you." "Yes..." Noyce looked at the group of stupid little dog-headed people and felt puzzled, so he answered hesitantly. The group of human teenagers below were also talking about this. Although the contacts with the dog-headed men are becoming more and more frequent, the villagers do not actually regard the dog-headed men as equals in their subconscious. These dog-headed cubs were often bullied by the children in the village. If Olivia hadn't taken good care of them, they might have been secretly killed. Some villagers' families had died at the hands of the kobolds, so how could they possibly like these things? Rather than tolerating the survival of the kobolds, it is more like tolerating Leo's consistent mischief. A jerk like Leo has done more outrageous things than the whole village. Even if the lead bear is brought back as a pet, what can he do? He still chooses to swallow his anger! Seeing the boys' obviously undisciplined attitude, Leo shouted, "I don't care what you think in your mind, just keep it to yourself and follow the rules of the militia." "If you don't obey orders, don't even think about joining the militia in your lifetime!" As soon as the stern words came out, the scene suddenly became solemn and no one dared to show any emotion. Joining the militia is the goal of every Hewan boy. Just looking at the current treatment of the militia, each militiaman has received one acre of tax-free land in advance, while other adult men in the village have to wait until the second year to receive their allocation. In normal food distribution, the militia is given priority and they also receive extra meals. Constantly updated weapons and armor are equipped to the militia as soon as possible, although they have to stand in the front line when facing battles and there will often be casualties. But the passionate young man doesn’t think so. Instead of hiding behind and waiting to die, it is better to charge forward and protect his family! "Noyes, you are responsible for the training of the kobolds. They will learn whatever you practice. Slingshot, javelin, crossbow, sword and shield, teach them all." Leo grabbed Noyes and ordered, "Treat everyone equally. No matter who causes trouble, beat them up. I have great use for these dog-headed men." Noyce's character is more mature and stable than Leo's, and he is almost the apprentice taught by him. Hearing this, he nodded heavily, "Understood!" Training the dog-headed people as militia and strengthening their physical fitness is only the beginning. Leo also prepared other courses, such as smell training, hearing training, and subsequent reconnaissance training and search training! But the current conditions are limited, so we can only take it step by step. The kobold race has natural disadvantages in size and strength, and is almost ranked last in the wilderness. An ordinary brown bear can chase a kobold hunting team all over the mountains.
Even if it grows to its full potential, it will only be as strong as a werewolf warrior and cannot even defeat a boar hunter. But knowing their talents, Leo can use them in other positions. For example, the Kobold Scout! When the reconnaissance units of humans and other alien races develop to the end, they will choose to raise a dog. It’s easy for Leo, he can just become one with the dog!
