Chapter 1277 - War Points

Chapter 1277 - War Points

In the end, it wasn't possible to find a safe and, at the same time, reliable way of using the teleport formations. Those were usually held by the Formation Guild. Without being able to use their money, they could only turn to the country's army. "Let's try to get positioned as far as possible so that they will teleport us to the battle zone of that area."

The country they were in was called Martifey, so they were obviously joining the Martifey Army. However, Rean could not help but have doubts. "These tokens that Etherian prepared for us, can they be used in this country? What if they're from an enemy country instead?"

Roan shook his head, saying, "Don't worry. These are tokens given to wandering cultivators. After all, not everyone wants to join some sect or any other organization. Etherian traveled through various continents, so he obviously knew what he was doing."

"Oh! It's great that we found someone from the Mortal Realm, then." Rean was happy to hear that as the twins arrived at the army building. Well, in fact, it wasn't just a building, but a huge piece of land located at the corner of the city. Many different buildings could be seen there as well. Quite a few airships too, which had been some time since the twins saw one.

Sure enough, there were many cultivators there, separated into several different squadrons and regiments. However, most of them had low cultivation levels, like Core and Soul Fusion Realm or Nascent Soul Realm. As always, the Soul Transformation Realm acted as a barrier to most cultivators. Finding one's path wasn't easy, after all.

The twins asked the guards there were they could register to enter the army before they were guided into a hall with hundreds of counters and queues. Even though Optigo City was 'small,' it was still a city with over two hundred million people. New people came to join the army every day due to their own reasons. 'I wonder how large the army headquarters of a big city is,' Rean could not help but think.

The twins had to join the queue and wait over an hour before they were attended by one of the workers there. "Alright, what are your specializations?"

The twins looked at the guy with puzzled eyes, asking in response, "What do you mean?"

The guy immediately understood that the twins were joining the army for the first time. "We need to separate people into groups. Tell me if you are better at long-range combat, formations, close combat, using weapons, going weaponless, and so on."

"Oh, so that's what you mean." Rean and Roan then proceeded to pass the worker information. They weren't afraid of being found out since this was on the other side of the Continental Barrier. Even if Roan showed his White Scythe, no one would match him with Roan from Huring Continent.

As expected, the guy behind the counter was surprised to see Roan's weapon before laughing. "Hahaha! What are you, a farmer?" He wasn't the only one as the other people behind him also felt the same.

Roan couldn't care less, though. "Whatever, just put us in the close combat group. I use a scythe while he uses a sword."

The worker shrugged his shoulders and nodded. "Alright then, what are your elemental affinities?"

"Light and Darkness." It would be hard to not use their skills in combat, so they decided to simply use them. Even if someone recognized the information about them in the future, it would be far after they left Lanqueas as the official portal between Huring and Lanqueas wouldn't open anytime soon.

"Light and Darkness?" The worker shook his head after hearing that. "You mean Yin and Yang to control them, right? That's not what I'm talking about. I want your real affinity."

Rean insisted. "We have odd Elemental Affinities. We truly have Light and Dark Elemental Affinities."

"Oh..." As mentioned before, although not common, odd elemental affinity cultivators weren't that rare in the Realm of Gods. That's why the worker didn't find it hard to believe. "Still, it's the first time I've seen Light and Darkness as elemental affinities. Alright, we will go with that."

The worker then took the twins' ID tokens and registered them under the Martifey Country's army.

While he did that, Rean took the opportunity to ask, "Please send us to the borders at the west of our Vigal Region. We have a few friends who were stationed there." Vigal Region was obviously the name of the region they were in at the moment. The Galanmord Region was located west of the Lanqueas Continent, so considering the borders at north, west, and south of the Vigal Region, they obviously wanted to be sent to the west. After all, if the plan failed and they couldn't use the teleport formation, at least they would save various years of travel by parting from there.

The worker couldn't help but mention, "The west? You do know that the region you're talking about is the one with the highest number of casualties, right? Most people here would rather not go there."

"Then it should be no problem to put us there, right? After all, you're having to randomly select unlucky ones to go there since the majority don't want it," Roan said in response.

The worker shrugged his shoulders. "Well, that's true. I'm sure no one will complain if I put you there. Besides, it's there that you can get most of the War Points that everyone is after."

Rean and Roan nodded after hearing that. As they thought, there were also merit points for the war. It's just that it was called War Points, not that it mattered. "Can we gain access to the teleport formations with War Points?"

The worker nodded. "Well, you can... but the price will depend on where you want to go."

Since the Formation Guild was closed for teleport formations, the army knew that many people wanted to travel far away. Naturally, they also included long-distance teleportations as part of the rewards one could exchange for War Points. "As long as we can, that's enough.. We will deal with the War Points on our own."
