Chapter 69: Meritorious Service Value

  The sky is clear and bright, with a refreshing autumn breeze. The cloudless sky is as blue as the most beautiful sapphire, making it a feast for the eyes!

  Ten lions beasts lined up in a row, speeding through the air at high speed. From a distance, it looks like there is a small boat on the calm lake water, with a faint beauty in the tranquility.

  It has been several days since leaving the Jiang family, and it's still flying. The Lion Eagle Beast is indeed a second-tier demon beast, even after dozens of days of non-stop flight, without any fatigue.

  The lions are on the upper part, most of them are in a cross-legged meditation, after experiencing the freshness of flying for the first time, those boys who were originally excited now all have bitter faces, the journey is extremely boring, and can only rely on cultivation to pass the long time.

  From the Empire of Fia to this desolate land, even with a lion-like beast as a mount, it's not something that can be reached in just a few short days. Jiang Huan was also very curious about this desolate land, while Jiang Tian and Jiang Lie were constantly telling Jiang Huan stories of battles ahead.

  When he heard that the enemy had mobilized tens of thousands of warriors, and among them were hundreds of masters, Jiang Huan couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart. Tens of thousands of soldiers didn't seem like much to Jiang Huan, but suddenly bringing out hundreds of masters was no simple matter.

  Three brothers on the back of a lion-like beast, chatting and laughing, with a very harmonious atmosphere. When they learned that Jiang Huan would be promoted three levels in just half a month, Jiang Lie was so shocked that he almost fell from mid-air.

  Another lion eagle above, Jiang Wei, Jiang Gui and two others sat in a circle.

  "Older brother, has your injury completely healed?"

  "Yes, I've already recovered." Jiang Wei shook the feather fan in his hand and said calmly.

  "Brother, that kid is probably already at the war master level. We're probably not his match." Jiang Kui narrowed his small eyes, revealing a resentful expression on his face, but soon showed a dejected look, clearly having been dealt a heavy blow.

  "Hmph, Jiang Wei is indeed a formidable opponent, but he's just a petty scoundrel relying on his older brother. However, I must truly thank him; if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have risen to the rank of General so quickly. Hmph, don't let me catch you off guard." A hint of cruelty flashed across Jiang Wei's face, and his eyes gleamed with a fierce killing intent that made Jiang Kui's heart tremble with fear.

  The Jiang family sends a batch of young men to the front lines every year, but in the past, they were required to have at least seven-star warrior strength. This time, due to some troubles encountered by the Empire of Feia on the front lines and insufficient troops, all major cities increased their output of warriors. As the first family of Solar City, the Jiang family naturally took the lead and shouldered the responsibility. Therefore, as long as they reached five-star warrior strength, they were allowed to go to the military camp.

  On the continent of gods, there are two professions that people yearn for most. The first is alchemist and the second is soldier.

  Alchemist, needless to say, apart from being able to refine various kinds of elixirs, what makes people most envious and apprehensive is the alchemist's powerful charisma. The higher the level of the alchemist, the more strong individuals will come to curry favor with them.

  Of course, the military is not referring to ordinary soldiers, but those who are warriors. In the mainland of God, warriors want to enter the barracks must have a guarantee, just like in the city of Sun needs the guarantee of the lord. So, it's not that you have strength, you can enter the barracks.

  To distinguish from ordinary soldiers, as long as the warrior enters the military camp, they will be given a corresponding military title according to their own strength. Warriors of soldier level are awarded the title of military officer, warriors of instructor level are awarded the title of military instructor, and so on.

  The empire will distribute corresponding cultivation resources according to the title of the military, including gold coins, elixirs, and even skills or combat techniques, which ordinary soldiers cannot enjoy.

  On the continent of God, bloodline is a very important thing, because it will determine whether you can become a warrior after birth. Of course, it's not that ordinary people won't become warriors, just the probability is very low. So, on the continent of God, the proportion of warriors has always been very low, and those ordinary people are aiming to become warriors, even if they are the lowest-level warriors.

  On the back of the lion beast, Jiang Tian told Jiang Huan many things about the military, after all, for Jiang Huan who was going to the barracks for the first time, everything in the barracks was mysterious.

  "Big brother, how many troops does the Empire of Fia have?"

  "Hmm, I don't know the exact number of people, but my Third Legion has around five hundred thousand people. In the Empire of Fia, there are eight major legions, and among them, the strongest is the First Legion, the Golden Eagle Legion." As he said this, a hint of longing appeared on Jiang Tian's face.

  "Golden Eagle Legion?"

  "Yes, the Golden Eagle Legion," said Jiang Lie, who had not spoken for a long time. "The Golden Eagle Legion is known as the strongest legion in the Empire of Feia. We don't know exactly how many people are in it, but from what we know, the primary condition to enter the Golden Eagle Legion is that you must have at least 1,000 merit points."

  "What's this 'merit value'?" Jiang Hao asked in confusion.

  "Hehe, I forgot to tell you that in the military, merit points are extremely important, and accumulating merit points is achieved by killing enemies."

  "Each empire issues an ID card to its soldiers, and all warriors above the rank of soldier have their own medals. Only by killing enemies and obtaining their ID cards or medals can they be recorded as merits."

  "To be specific, if you are a warrior, killing an enemy warrior will earn you some merit points. If you can kill a general, you'll get ten points, and killing a marshal will earn you one hundred points. However, killing ordinary soldiers won't earn you any merit points." Jiang Tian explained patiently.

  "So in that case, if I'm a 9-star warrior, then killing a 1-star warrior should count for something too?"

  "Hehe, that's natural."

  "What's the use of this merit then?" Jiang Hao furrowed his brow, asking in puzzlement.

  "Merit points have many uses, you'll find out later, but what I can tell you is that in the military camp, perhaps cultivation is important, but the amount of merit points will directly determine your status."

  "Haha, Third Brother, do you know how many merit points Big Brother has now?" Jiang Lie smiled as he looked at Jiang Heng and then glanced at the calm and collected Jiang Tian.

  Jiang Hao was taken aback, his eyes already fixed on Jiang Tian's face, where a terrifying scar ran across.

  "Big brother, I want to know, what's with that scar?" Jiang Hao asked, unable to hold back his curiosity.

  Contrary to Jiang Hao's expectations, Jiang Tian did not show any dissatisfaction, and instead, a brilliant smile appeared on his face, with sparkling eyes, as if the scar had not brought him any psychological burden.

  "Haha, Third Brother, you don't know that in the Third Legion, your big brother is now a well-known figure, and the reason is this scar."

  "Big brother, second brother, what's going on? Tell me quickly!" Jiang Hao showed his childish temper again.

  "That was four years ago, your elder brother had just reached the rank of Eight-Star Warrior, and in a mission, he single-handedly took down a War General, and also got this scar on his face." Jiang Lie said.

  "Taking down a war general, eight-star war master, my god, big brother, you're too abnormal." Jiang Huan was shocked, the rank of war general on the continent of gods should be considered as truly strong. War masters were formidable, but if they encountered a war general, it would almost be a dead end, an ordinary war general could easily annihilate dozens of war masters.

  "Hmph, Third Brother, don't be so exaggerated. That general was just newly promoted and obviously a rookie on the battlefield, with no real combat skills, that's why I was able to sneak up on him." Jiang Tian rubbed the scar on his face, looking nonchalant.

  "Hey, big brother, how many achievement points do you have now?"

  "Hmm, let me think... it's probably over 1,500." Jiang Tian said after some thought.

  "Haha, Third Brother, once you arrive at the military camp, you'll know. Your big brother is quite famous, you know." Jiang Lie also teased him a bit.

  The three of them spoke freely and then each went back to their own cultivation. Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

  At some unknown time, a black line suddenly appeared on the distant horizon, continuous and unbroken. On the outer edge of this black line was a vast expanse of green, which, as it drew closer, turned out to be row upon row of military tents, stretching out as far as the eye could see, numbering in the tens of thousands.

  And that black line also gradually appeared in the eyes of everyone, it was a vast expanse filled with low hills, shrouded in mist, and as far as the eye could see were dark-colored stones.

  After more than ten days of flying, the desolate land finally arrived.
