Chapter 414: Signing Up for the Army (1/2)

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 gratitude 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 participate 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.”
