Three days later, just as he said, Rocky took a day off to visit the Guard Corps in the city for an inspection.
The Guard Camp of Thunderhawk City was adjacent to the urban district, but quite far from the City Lord's Mansion, mainly for safety considerations. So although Rocky had set out from the City Lord's Mansion early in the morning, by the time he arrived at the camp by carriage, it was already past ten in the morning.
Upon his arrival at the camp, Liliya immediately took him straight to the training ground. Since Monte became the new instructor of the Guard Corps, apart from those who must patrol within the city, the rest of the guards were kept on the training ground by him from morning till night.
As Rocky approached the training ground under Liliya's guidance, he hadn't yet seen anyone, but he could hear Monte's voice booming like thunder.
"Run faster! Haven't you eaten breakfast?"
"Hurry up! If anyone falls behind, everyone will have to run as punishment!"
