Chapter 432: Tournament (2/2)

This camp was made to prepare the soldiers for the battlefield, but so far, Xue Wei had seen nothing of the sort. This was a place where everyone fought hard for a better living environment, but that was it.

There were no signs of being comrades apart from the small groups that people had gathered in, and there were constant small fights amongst these groups.

But the Demon Phoenix Empire preferred this. The more competition between the groups, the better. Especially since they would compete against each other for rewards and achievement points.

The battlefield was full of fights everywhere, but it was not often that it was a true battle between two armies. Most of the time, it was smaller groups who were charging against the border, trying to harass the citizens, and so on. It was why they often ended in skirmishes rather than all-out battles.

A few days went by while Xue Wei was preparing a few extra items before he just began cultivating again.

Finally, after waiting for nearly a week, a message arrived at the Army Camp. A new regiment was to be sent to the frontlines!

However, this regiment only consisted of five thousand people, while the army camp had more than fifty thousand.

To be picked, one had to display their best ability in a tournament. They only allowed the strongest of the participating members to partake in the war, due to the fact that it had reached a much tighter time.

Now all the participating experts were Saints. Even the lowest-ranked soldier was a Saint ranked expert, and Xue Wei and his friends were quite surprised by this, but they also understood that the war they were entering had reached the final stretch. It would end within a few years, as both sides were sending out their trump cards now.

Xue Wei prepared for the tournament alongside his friends. They did not have much time to prepare, as only a two days notice was given, but they had already gotten ready for the war, how much problems could a tournament cause them?

The morning of the tournament, Xue Wei and his friends woke up bright and early. They left the courtyard and headed for the arena where he previously had fought against the Fire Horse.

As they arrived, Xue Wei found that there was everyone from the army camp, it was full of people, and not only the contestants, there were also spectators. The atmosphere was boiling with excitement.
