Chapter 56: Participating in the Battle

The sound of cannons and the roars of magic beasts came from outside the city. These sounds seemed to be reminding the people in the city that a war was happening outside. However, what people didn't hear was that these cannons and the roars of magic beasts actually contained another sound, which was the screams of humans. It was just because the sound of cannons and the roars of magic beasts were too huge, covering up this sound.

In fact, most people in the city knew that there must be human screams in it, because they had experienced such things countless times. Moreover, most of the people who came to the City of Warriors and settled here were people who had participated in battles. These people were already used to such things as war, so even if they didn't use their ears to listen, they knew how many people would sacrifice in such a war.

"Mercenary recruitment: killing one ordinary flying magic beast is one Hunter point, one ordinary ground magic beast is two points, one magic beast king is 50 Hunter points. If you are still alive after the war ends, each person will be rewarded with 500 Hunter points." The war outside the city was still continuing, and the people in the city were not idle either. There were multiple mercenary recruitment points in the city used to recruit mercenaries to help the soldiers on the city wall fight. Hunter points were the remuneration for mercenaries, and the people who came here were precisely for participating in such wars. To be precise, these people came here for Hunter points.

Hunter points—I don't know if it has anything to do with the Hunter assessment. After hearing the three words "Hunter points," Zhuge Tianxin became interested in this mercenary recruitment. So he squeezed into the crowd to participate in the mercenary recruitment. In the process of recruitment, Zhuge Tianxin learned that the so-called Hunter points were a calculation method for contributions to the Hunter Association released by the Hunter Association. The number of Hunter points represents how much this person contributes to the Hunter Association. The more Hunter points, the greater the contribution to the Hunter Association. Moreover, Hunter points don't just represent the role of contribution; Hunter points also have many benefits. For example, after obtaining a certain number of Hunter points, you will be very respected by others. At the same time, you can also exchange them for things you want at the Hunter Association. Moreover, Hunter points are universal on the Hunter Continent. Of course, if you don't want to exchange with the Hunter Association, you can also exchange with others, but this exchange is not protected by the Hunter Association, the exchange price is also uncertain, and the authenticity of the items is also the responsibility of the person themselves. It can be said that this Hunter point is actually a representative of glory and a hard currency on the Hunter Continent.

However, Zhuge Tianxin didn't care about these things like contributions, glory, and hard currency. What really made Zhuge Tianxin care was the relatively niche role of Hunter points told to him by the staff, which was that this Hunter point could be used as a reference standard for the Hunter assessment and could be used to let the Hunter Association arrange a special assessment opportunity after missing the Hunter assessment. At the same time, the mercenary recruitment staff also told Zhuge Tianxin a piece of news: the Hunter assessment would start in a week, but because Luoxiang City is a City of Warriors and is currently in a state of war, the Hunter assessment in Luoxiang City was canceled. That is to say, Zhuge Tianxin could no longer participate in the Hunter assessment in Luoxiang City and could only participate in the Hunter assessment in Teiyi City, which is closest to Luoxiang City. Originally, it would take about five days from Luoxiang City to Teiyi City. If it were in a non-war period, Zhuge Tianxin could completely catch up with the Hunter assessment held in Teiyi City. However, because Luoxiang City is currently in a state of war, Luoxiang City is in a state of total closure during this period. Zhuge Tianxin cannot leave Luoxiang City now, so these two roles of Hunter points were very useful to Zhuge Tianxin, which made Zhuge Tianxin finally decide to participate in this mercenary recruitment.

After completing the procedures, the staff gave Zhuge Tianxin a card. This card was used to record Hunter points and could automatically record the number and category of magic beasts killed by Zhuge Tianxin on the battlefield and automatically calculate the Hunter points obtained.

After everything was ready, because he was the first batch of recruited mercenaries, Zhuge Tianxin was assigned to the middle section of the city wall. This was the place where the battle situation was the most tense and the most in need of reinforcements. When Zhuge Tianxin arrived at the city wall, the remaining soldiers were resisting the attacking magic beasts, but now there were not many people left, and the number of magic beasts was very large. Moreover, most of these magic beasts were flying magic beasts. Although these magic beasts didn't have the physical advantages of other magic beasts, they had the advantage of flight, and after other magic beasts rushed onto the city wall, they took advantage of the gaps in other magic beasts' attacks to launch sneak attacks, launching wind blade magic attacks when those soldiers were not paying attention.

"Mercenary reinforcements are here! Everyone hold on!" Those soldiers who were fighting the magic beasts were very excited after seeing Zhuge Tianxin and the others arrive at the city wall. They had persisted for so long and were already a bit unable to support it. This time, the power organized by the Kingdom Organization was greater than before, and the magic beasts attacking this time seemed to have been strengthened and were even harder to kill.

"Hey, don't just watch! It's very dangerous to just watch on the battlefield." Just as Zhuge Tianxin was still observing the scene of the battle, someone suddenly reminded him.

After hearing this voice, Zhuge Tianxin turned his head and saw a boy of about the same age as him, tall and thin, wearing a crisp blue and white uniform, holding two handguns that were also in blue and white tones. When he saw Zhuge Tianxin looking at him, he even specifically brushed his wine-red hair with his right hand, striking a pose he thought was very handsome. This pose was called a brain-dead performance by Qing Xuan'er. Regarding the pose of this boy of about the same age, Zhuge Tianxin just smiled politely and was about to turn back to join the battle, but at this moment, the boy chased after him and said: "My name is Weisi De·Kai, from Weisi City, a noble sharpshooter. What's your name?" After speaking, he brushed his wine-red hair again. Regarding this action, Qing Xuan'er's evaluation was still two words—brain-dead.

"My name is Zhuge Tianxin, from Tianxin..., get down!" Just as Zhuge Tianxin wanted to introduce himself, suddenly, when introducing himself to Weisi De·Kai, Zhuge Tianxin suddenly shouted "Get down!" and then threw the pig thigh bone in his hand, boom, directly smashing a flying magic beast to death.

"Hey..., don't you know this is very dangerous?" Weisi De·Kai was very angry. Just now, that pig thigh bone flew past his scalp. If he had dodged slower, his handsome head would have blossomed. Now, thinking of the feeling just now, he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

"Don't keep playing cool. Playing cool on the battlefield is very dangerous." Zhuge Tianxin ignored Weisi De·Kai's protest and said a sentence in the tone Weisi De·Kai used to say he was just watching, and then rushed toward another magic beast. ===== CHAPTER 57 =====
