Chapter 414: 414

Many primordial beasts, humans, and even some Vermilion Bird Clan members were waiting at the sign-up point for the army .

Everyone knew that if the Demon Phoenix Continent lost this war, their worriless lives would change once and for all, and thus they decided to register themselves for the army .

They all wanted to do their best to help the Continent get through the danger that was now lurking around them . Still, they were all aware that they were doing this for their families, because of the patriotic feeling within themselves, and in grat.i.tude for everything that the Continent had provided them with .

Xue Wei and his friends were known to everyone . They were foreigners who were well received in the palace . They could live a leisurely life, and no one expected them to partic.i.p.ate in the war, as they had no lingering feelings for this Continent .

But now, this group of people, alongside one more they did not know, had appeared at the sign-up place . Clearly, they aimed to join the army . Had they misunderstood these people? Did they really want to help the Demon Phoenix Continent survive the disaster?

Xue Wei and his friends could see the surprise in the people's eyes, but they completely ignored them as they went to que up .

Murmurs erupted in the surroundings, everyone began discussing their purpose, but none of them reacted at all, even when some of them were speaking loudly enough for them to hear everything they said .

As they stood in the queue, it took quite some time for them to reach the table where they could register, but even the military officer who was in charge of signing people up looked at them with confusion and some hostility .

It was not known to the outside world that the one who had enhanced the ability amongst the Generals was the one in front of them, hence they thought that this group of people was merely here to live a comfortable life . They could not help but be alert whenever they saw Xue Wei and his friends wanting to sign up .

Before anyone had time to question Xue Wei, a General of the army appeared at the registration area, his eyes scanned over the area, and he looked at Xue Wei with shock when he saw him and his friends lining up .

"Master Xue," the General hurried to his side . This General was renowned for being patriotic and respected . They thought he was alert and vigilant against Xue Wei . They could not let outsiders join their army, what if they were spies?

But contrary to their expectations, the General looked politely at Xue Wei and bowed slightly .

"Master Xue wishes to join the army?" he asked . "It will be our great honor to have such an esteemed expert such as yourself and your friends joining our army . "

Xue Wei looked at the general and smiled politely . "That was our plan . "

The military officer who was supposed to sign up people for the army was stunned . How could this mutated general treat Xue Wei so well? It was not just normal respect; there was a level of reverence in his voice that made everyone understand that he even looked up to this young man who was weaker than him in strength, and much younger than him in age .

Xue Wei knew that this General would never expose his achievements, but he would still not allow anyone to cause problems for him, and he looked at the people around them .

"Master Xue has done much for our Demon Phoenix Continent," the General said . "We owe him a lot, but he is even thinking of joining the army to a.s.sist our Continent . It is our honor to have him working for us, so please approve of their registration procedures and hurry up! We cannot afford to waste time!"

Xue Wei nodded his head approvingly . Saying that he had done much for them, but not going into detail was the best way to make them look at him in a favourable way .

"Master Xue, all of you have to write your names down, after which we will send you to the training camp . There is no time limit for how long someone stays in the training camp; it depends on how fast someone becomes accustomed to the army lifestyle .

"When you are accustomed, you will be sent to the front line where you are going to join the skirmishes or undertake missions . The more kills you get, the more tasks you complete, the more merits you will get .

"Merits can be traded for resources, so do your best!"

Xue Wei nodded his head before he wrote down his name on the sign-up form . At the same time, the others signed their names as well . When Lan signed, Xue Wei saw that he only wrote Lan, he was not using his given name .

Many knew of Lan, but those who knew his given name were few . Xue Wei did not know what his story might be, but he could often see a trace of sadness, loneliness, and grief in his eyes .

Maybe his past was painful, and could have been the reason for him to no longer use the name 'She' .

Xue Wei said nothing; he just glanced at the names that had been signed on the doc.u.ment . Then suddenly, Xue Fu came out of the Beast Tag, and she also signed her name on the doc.u.ment .

Many of the people present were shocked to see that they had a beast tag and even more surprised when they saw that the one who came out from the beast tag was a Primordial Beast in human form . In the Demon Phoenix Continent, it was impossible to make a Primordial Beast become a tamed beast, so this was shocking to them .
