Chapter 43: XXI Entering the Army
In the Briles Military Camp, an black-clothed man descend from the sky with two enormous wings.
This man looked at one of the survivors and asked. "What happened over here?" Seeing the man, everyone in the camp bowed.
"Lord, a few hours ago two experts invaded the camp and released the prisoners. One of them was a male using lightning magic and the other was a female expert in throwing knives. We had 25 dead and 13 wounded and we are still searching for them." abilities and the other was a female expert in throwing knives."
The man's expression did not even change as he listened to the report. "You don't need to search for them. From the aura left they seemed to be experts on the divine beginning realm and even before thirteen years old so even if you guys find them it will be useless as their Gods would not let you touch them and you might even bring their fury. Because of this, we don't usually kill a God's chosen but if they appear again then i will take care of them.
...
Walking on the streets of Green Lake City, Elijah looked a bit gloomy as he was receiving envy glares from the other men while Chloe was glued to his arm, but despite his misgivings, they walked towards the City's plaza.
"Ell, Why are there so many people ahead? Let's see what it is." Just as walked into the plaza, Elijah and Chloe could see an uncommonly large crowd in the middle of the plaza.It was almost several hundred people, and there were soldiers guarding the perimeter.
'Why there is so many people here?' Filled with curiosity, Chloe pulled Elijah over to have a look. Although the area was a bit crowded, it was not difficult to squeeze their way to the front to have a look.
Just as they approached, Elijah saw an large tent with dozens of desks surrounded by people. Chloe called him and pointed to a wood board with the words, 'Thunder Hammer Military Recruitment' for everyone in the plaza could see. Then he read the rest. 'Looking for healthy men and women between the ages of 16 and 30, with priority for those with great vital energy or with some special ability. Protect your kingdom, protect your world!'
The Vital Energy was the energy used for those in the Mortal Path. But when someone cultivate to the Third Realm of the Mortal Path, their Energies change, gaining an special aspect and property. Just like the bandit on the third Realm who had an berserk energy capable of weakening his opponents but his true combat power was not even on the second Realm.
And by mentioning vital power, it seems what the army wants is mortal path cultivators on the second realm and below.
Elijah looked to the side and saw two shining eyes locked on him."Ell, why not we try it? We just need to hide our status as practitioners on the Divine Beginning and it's okay."
"Chloe, I don't think it's as simple as you think. In the army, we will need to obey rules, but let's see first."
Being students in the genius class, they didn't need to watch the class as the Academy encouraged them to go on travels and adventures so they could gain experience. After all they was at an age where impulses ruled decision-making and what is the use for a powerful cultivation if they could not even use it.
Having made up their mind, Elijah and Chloe walked to the front and told one of the recruiting soldiers : "Sir, we want to apply."
Although there were several hundred people in the surrounding crowd, but the actual number of applicants weren't actually high as the most part here have just came to observe.
After all, the living standards here were much higher than the other cities. Also, since the kingdom is now in the middle of a war. Few people would join the army in such a dangerous time.
There were almost 25 recruiting soldiers sitting behind the desks, and they were all veterans, having at least the rank of Combat Master or higher. Who Elijah was facing seemed to be an woman a little over 20 years old, and she was just sitting there, waiting.
"Hey kids, so you two want to join the army?" Seeing that someone had finally approached him, the the combat master was overjoyed. After all, there more than 20 soldiers here, and they had chosen to approach him, letting him feel that he had a lot of face.
"Yes! We want to join the army!" Chloe said in clear voice. Although she has seen far more impressive armies and warriors during the time that she was a goddess in terms of battle experience they were much stronger than her. As like most of the gods, there is only a minority with true battle experience and she also truly wants to be stronger.
The Combat Master nodded with satisfaction and asked: "That's great, which branch of the army do you want to join?"
"They are how many?"
"Our army is a bit different than the others, although the treatment of the basic soldiers is the same, but the requirements, tests and training of the various branches are quite different. For example, We have three main branches: the Warrior Division, the ones who are the busiest on the battlefield as they need to battle directly with the enemy,Then there is the Magic Division who stay at the back and are the most powerful destruction force we have and the last is the The Masked Division, they are specialized in invasion, murder and espionage. In fact, for each division the is several functions and ranks." As she continued speaking, her eyes flash with fear when she mentioned the last division.
Elijah looks at Chloe who had also given him the same look, Elijah realized they had the same thought.
