Chapter 787 Last Part, Mission Combat (4K)_2
The warriors of the entire camp unleashed an extremely fearsome power.
Xi herself also possessed superb command skills, leading these soldiers to repel the strong enemies time and time again until the clock ran out, with virtually no significant damage to the entire camp.
She indeed did not slay a legendary monster, but she never truly took action herself during the process.
Her performance was even more domineering and terrifying.
"She is not an ordinary Saint of Holy Light, she's at least of the Epic Two Stars level."
Mu Yuan mused to himself.
Others might not even understand the difference between a Holy Light Priest, Holy Light Master Sacrifice, and a Saint of Holy Light.
But Mu Yuan was all too familiar with the Saints of Holy Light; the characteristics, and the presentation of their power were distinctly clear to him, even the slightest discrepancies.
He could identify them at a glance.
This still did not negate Xi's excellence.
The same for Epic Two Stars. Could Lainey achieve this after stepping into the Legendary Realm?
Mu Yuan had his doubts.
But if Epic Two Stars wasn't enough, one could just evolve to Epic Three Stars.
…
"Her command is outstanding, and her power is exceptional. If she were given more troops to command, she could play an even greater role in war," remarked Ice Fist, the division general from afar.
That was the reason their instructor group was optimistic about her.
As for individual combat power?
Indeed, Uta, Shen, Duca, Rick... each one of these was a strongman of the Legendary Earth Realm, and they all still had great potential for improvement, yet...
The Legendary Earth Realm was considered inconsequential in the Great War Zone; individual combat power was almost irrelevant.
Being of the Legendary Soul Realm himself, he often couldn't sway the tide, except at the right moments and in the right situations when his power could have a decisive impact.
And a good leader is one who knows how to find opportunities, even to create them.
…
The consecutive four days of mandatory training came to an end.
Xi, Uta, Rakshasa, Shen... the names of these legendary strongmen began to circulate in the Great War Zone.
They were currently only "new recruits."
But the "veterans" believed that these strongmen would soon make a significant impact in the Hangu Mountain war zone.
As soldiers of the war zone, seeing excellent reinforcements always brought satisfaction.
The following day,
At the training camp assembly point.
The instructor with a Domain radius exceeding ten thousand meters spoke up:
"This is all there is to the mandatory training for the new recruits."
"Among these, those who achieve a grade 'C' or above in the sandbox exercise may apply for 'task assessment.'
"As long as you pass the task assessment, the war zone command will bestow positions upon you based on your overall performance during your time in the training camp."
The task assessment involved real combat.
The entire new recruit assessment was fundamentally divided into two major items: training and mission in real combat.
The mission in real combat was key, accounting for 70% of the assessment score, with the previous training exercises making up 30%, which was akin to regular grades. Among these regular grades, the sandbox exercise represented more than half.
However, whether it was training exercises or sandbox practice, the new recruits had the chance to undergo training again.
The final score depended on the last training session.
New recruits simply needed to meet the passing standard for the sandbox exercise within the stipulated time and number of attempts.
The vast majority of new recruits were clear about the rules. They were not ready to immediately apply for 'task assessment,' not even Fourth-order Strongmen like Crescent Moon and Red Hair.
Below the Legendary Realm, only Lord Giant Elephant applied for the assessment.
And above the Legendary Realm...
Everyone applied for the assessment.
A few legends hesitated for a moment, but seeing their peers, each brimming with bravery and eagerness to improve, didn't want to fall behind.
"Task assessment will be random missions."
"The war zone will randomly assign each of you tasks and provisionally allocate a certain number of troops for you."
"These tasks, in theory, have a similar level of difficulty, but..."
the instructor paused and then said, "these are actual war zone missions, and nobody can guarantee that they won't encounter unforeseen events during their mission. Rather, in the war zone, unforeseen events are the norm, and our enemies surely won't play by the rules."
"Task assessment has no absolute fairness."
"During the task assessment, you may face life-and-death dangers at any time."
"Now, make your decisions."
Nobody hesitated or showed any doubt.
In the blood of soldiers, the gene for battle is inherently inscribed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
In the Great War Zone, who would fear danger or death?
Moreover, without battle, without moving forward, would there be no danger? In the Eternal World, stagnation is the greatest hazard.
No one feared, only brimmed with a fighting spirit.
A real man should fight fist to flesh.
"Each of you will receive a number; your mission will be communicated to you by a dedicated person within the next two days,"
"Now, disband."
The recruits dispersed one after another.
Having witnessed the might of the Legendary Realm, all Third and Fourth-order strongmen were filled with an intense desire to fight. How delightful would it be to climb to the peaks of legend and command the Power of Heaven and Earth?
They too had this opportunity.
The Great War Zone was the perfect stage for a carp to leap over the dragon's gate.
Lord Giant Elephant glanced deeply at Uta, the Rakshasa, and said, "I thought I had a great opportunity, at least to close the gap with Tianyuan, but unexpectedly, the distance has been widened once again, even further. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see Tianyuan's shadow."
"However, I won't admit defeat."
...
At a certain location in the training camp, Wang Longteng and the Dragon Blood Royal Cavalry met, and he provided his division general with some trump card items.
"Don't be discouraged; we also have the opportunity to overtake the competition through the tasks,"
"Rest assured, my lord, training is training, and missions are missions,"
The Dragon Blood Royal Cavalry, Iron Hand, still brimmed with confidence.
After all, in the sandbox exercises, the combat power of the Legendary Realm had an enormous influence.
He admitted his combat power was somewhat lacking, but this was only because he had stepped into the Legendary Realm less than a month ago. Given the same amount of time, he was confident he wouldn't be inferior to anyone.
And it was the missions that truly tested the mettle of a leader.
He would let the name of Dragon Rise resonate throughout the entire Great War Zone.
...
In Tai Xuan, somewhere.
Lord Tianhua looked towards her secretary, "How are the new recruits we dispatched to the Hangu Mountain war zone performing?"
The secretary spoke, "The assessment isn't over yet, but Xi is performing exceptionally well, while the other two are quite a bit inferior,"
Lord Tianhua nodded slightly.
Her main focus was indeed on Xi.
After all, for her, epic soldiers were not rare. Her status and channels meant she could recruit more than a few epics in a year.
But many who had just stepped into the Legendary Realm were too 'simple and stupid' and did not yet meet the standard to fight alone in the Great War Zone.
...
Lord Nanshan, White Shark Lord...
One by one, the powerful Frontier Lords watched over their division generals.
Actually, out of the twenty-two in the Legendary Realm, more than half came from only four territories.
Tianyuan Territory boasting two legends was not much,
But both legends from Tianyuan Territory had gotten the best rating in the sandbox exercises, which was quite eye-catching.
"Tianyuan may be the leading figure of the new generation, but we are old and powerful lords who have been around for several generations. We can't let Tianyuan outdo us, right?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"We must not lose in the mission assessment!"
...
That very afternoon.
The Rakshasa was the first to receive his assessment task.
"Spy Suspicion!"
"Instruction #1: In the grain-producing areas of the war zone, places like Lushui Town and Baihe Town, there are suspected spies sent by the Monster Overlord. Your task is to find the spy and ensure the safety of these treasured lands."
"Instruction #2: Before the official execution of the task, the assessor may go to Base Three, the Recruitment Zone, to recruit no more than 30 special troops to assist themselves."
"Instruction #3:..."
...
At about the same time.
The Dragon Blood Royal Cavalry, Iron Hand, the God Martial Forbidden Army's Rick, Lord Giant Elephant, and the Saint of Holy Light, Xi, also received their random tasks.
"Spy Suspicion!"
In the depths of the training camp, the chief instructor Ice Fist narrowed his eyes, "Heh heh heh, didn't see this coming, did you? This is a competitive task. Let me see just how you'll each perform."
The second instructor hesitated, "Ice Boss, wasn't it because the Thousand-faces was too cunning and terrifying that we arranged for as many as five groups to carry out this task? How did you turn it into a competition?"
Ice Fist said, "You don't understand. Whether they can learn to cooperate, whether they can fully utilize the conditions and resources... this too, is part of the assessment."
Second instructor: "..."
But why does Ice Boss look so wily? Surely he didn't set this up just for his own amusement?
The second instructor dimly felt that he had stumbled upon the truth.
