The young man nodded slightly and looked at Dean and Felicia. His eyes lit up: "There is an emergency at the border of the Empire. We lack manpower. You two can come with us."
Dean frowned.
Felicia's face changed: "Elder, I just finished my mission. I have to go back and report to the king. I'm afraid …"
The buzz cut youth glanced at her. "The Bloodthorn Corps is also a powerful army of the Empire. As a squad leader, how can you not see the bigger picture? The border defense is a huge matter, and we are currently lacking manpower. Since you guys are here, it's only right that you put in some effort. Of course, I won't mistreat you. This time, I'll let you join the Border Defense Army in the name of temporary enlistment. When the time comes, your achievements will be recorded in your identity system. You should know how fast you can accumulate achievements at the border. If you're lucky, after this battle, you might be able to be promoted from a squad leader to a senior leader and be on equal footing with us. "
Felicia smiled: "Elder, it's not that I don't want to contribute to the Empire. But my mission is urgent. The king is waiting for me to go back and report. I can't afford to offend the king if I delay here."
Can't afford to? Hearing Felicia's hint, the brush cut young man's eyes flashed with coldness, but he didn't say anything. The Blood Thorn Sovereign was a supreme ruler. He couldn't afford to offend him, nor would he dare to forcefully recruit Felicia. However, he would remember this threat.
"In that case you should go back and report. The king's mission is more important." There was no anger on the youth's face. He looked at Dean: "Little brother, you have just come out of the wall. You haven't joined the legion yet. This time you will come with us to the border. If you're lucky, with your abyss-level strength and this contribution, you should be able to directly become a squad leader in the army after the battle is over. This is much better than reporting to the Empire now and having the identity of an ordinary member randomly arranged for you. At that time, won't you still have to carry out missions and accumulate contributions before you can be promoted? How can it be faster than accumulating achievements at the border? "
Dean's face slightly changed. He could see that this was not a good thing. Since there was an emergency at the border, it meant that it was extremely dangerous. It was very likely, oh no, it should be 100%, that they would fight with aliens! His strength wasn't enough in the battlefield. It was like a general who was slightly stronger than an army. He was like duckweed in the water. One mistake and he would be destroyed!
As for accumulating merits and being promoted to captain, as the youth said, he needed to be lucky to accumulate achievements. He would just lie here, forever.
"Elder, Felicia has promised me that she will recommend me to the king. I've just left God's Wall and I'm still inexperienced. I'm afraid that I'll cause trouble for the elders if I go to the border. I'll come back after a few years of experience …" Dean had a headache.
"Humph!"
Before he could finish his words, a cold snort interrupted him. The brush cut young man's face turned completely cold. He said condescendingly, "The border defense of the empire is a big deal. We are the border envoys of the empire. We have the right to forcibly conscript all civilians. Do you want me to forcibly conscript you?"
A trace of gloominess flashed in Dean's eyes, but he quickly restrained himself. He turned to look at Felicia and signaled her to say a few words for him.
Felicia saw Dean's eyes and shook her head slightly. She wanted to tell him that she couldn't help either.
Dean was a bit angry when he saw that she was going to stand by. But he wasn't angry at Felicia. After all, he and Felicia weren't close friends. It was normal for them to go their separate ways in the face of a disaster. Moreover, Felicia should be eager to leave him so that her life would be guaranteed. It was strange for her to help him. He was angry because he couldn't refuse and the tough attitude of the youth!
"Don't waste time. Come on up." The youth frowned.
Dean's mouth slightly twitched. He looked at Felicia and said, "Since elder said so, I will go with elder to the border. We will meet again in the Kingdom of God!"
There was a trace of pity in Dean's eyes. Meet again in the Kingdom of God? You probably don't know that the temporary conscripts are often sent to the front line of the war. The survival rate is less than 10%. In other words, 90% of them will die!
What kind of probability is that?
However, she didn't want to break up with Dean at this juncture. She knew what Dean was thinking. He was worried that she would reveal the secret of the Undead. However, even if she said it now, it would be meaningless. If Dean died, the king would blame her for not bringing Dean back. As for talking about this matter with the three border envoys? She didn't even think about it.
They didn't belong to the same system. Telling them about Dean's secret would not benefit her at all. Instead, it would help the enemy.
"I'll wait for you." She replied.
Dean glanced at her and didn't say anything. He came to the side and grabbed Aisha's shoulder in a rough way, as if to guard against her counterattack. Then he brought her all the way to the purple-winged dragon, jumped, and landed on the dragon's back.
The dragon's back was wide enough for seven or eight people to stand on it.
"Kill this thing. It's useless for you to go to the border to help." The youth frowned.
Dean clenched his fingers but soon loosened them. He whispered, "Elder, this is the gift I'm going to give to the army. I'm hoping to get a promotion with it."
The youth sneered but didn't say anything. The King of Corpses was indeed a rare experimental material. It could be exchanged for a lot of money. However, he had to have the opportunity to return to the Empire.
In his eyes, Dean was already a dead man.
"Let's go." The one-eyed middle-aged man urged.
The youth didn't say anything. He glanced at Felicia on the ground and remembered her appearance. Today's threat made him lose face. In the future, he wouldn't let her go easily!
The Purple-Winged Flying Dragon spread its wings and soared into the sky, kicking up a strong gust of wind. In an instant, it rose more than a thousand meters into the sky and flew into the distance.
Felicia instantly turned into a small dot. She was getting farther and farther away until she couldn't be seen.
"I hope we're not too late." The tall woman's hair fluttered in the wind. She looked forward. She wasn't afraid even though she was thousands of meters high in the sky. Her eyes revealed a bit of worry. "I heard from the investigation team that the situation is a bit serious. I hope we won't cause any big trouble."
"Don't worry. Nothing has happened on the War God's Wall for a hundred years. It shouldn't be serious. Most likely, the border guards were careless and let these beasts attack." The youth said calmly.
"It's our bad luck. Out of the 20 districts on the War God's Wall, only our district 7 has a problem. These aliens are really stupid!" The one-eyed middle-aged man shook his head and sighed. He had changed his calm image from before.
They chatted as they hurried along. It seemed that they didn't notice Dean at all.
Dean quietly listened to them. They didn't hide the content of their conversation from him. It seemed that they weren't afraid of him hearing anything. Through the three of them, Dean roughly knew some of the situation.
The War God's Wall was divided into four sides. It seemed that each side was divided into 20 districts. The three of them were sent by the empire to pacify the war at the border.
If the war wasn't pacified, the three of them would take full responsibility. Because of this, the youth wanted to forcibly recruit Dean and Felicia. Although the abyss wasn't a big deal in the border battlefield, it wasn't a small bird either. After all, the Kingdom of God wasn't so terrible that everyone in the border guards was an abyss.
However, Felicia was backed by the Blood Thorn Sovereign, and she did not reveal what mission she was on. Although the young man with the brush cut was furious, he did not dare to force her. If it was an urgent matter and the Blood Thorn Sovereign blamed him, even if he defended the border and made a contribution, he might still fail because of this.
After all, the character of the Blood Thorn King could be seen from the title of the Blood Thorn King.
As the purple-winged dragon spread its wings and soared, the gray giant wall in front of Dean became clearer and clearer. The gray haze receded and appeared in his sight from small to large. This was a steep and towering giant wall. In Dean's mind, the God's Wall was already a magnificent building. In front of this towering giant wall, it suddenly lost its momentum. It was as if it was as small as a weak child.
This was the real towering into the clouds!
Dean was shocked. The war here was really a fight in the sky!
The speed of the purple dragon was very fast. It brought them to the sky above the War God's Wall in the blink of an eye. The few of them followed the purple-winged flying dragon through the thin clouds. The moisture in the clouds brushed past their bodies, and the world above the clouds was especially dazzling. The countless clouds in the distance were like cotton candy, and also like a sprinkling ball of flour. Soon, the purple dragon plunged into the clouds. The wind whistled.
In the whistling sound, Dean faintly heard a very sharp bird's cry and the rumbling of thunder!
A lightning seemed to flash in his mind. It was the Thunderbird!
Before he could follow the sound, the sudden acceleration of the wind forced him to grab the rope on the back of the purple dragon with one hand and pull Aisha with the other to prevent her from falling.
The clouds suddenly receded and his line of sight became clear. Dean was shocked. He suddenly wondered if he had landed on the ground. In front of him was a vast flat square. There were countless soldiers stationed on it like ants. They stood like javelins, holding spears in their hands. Their military postures were neat and their momentum was shocking.
At the edge of the flat ground, Dean saw the green forest and a river. Obviously, this vast square was the top of the War God's Wall.
However, the width was big enough to form a battlefield!
Dean suddenly understood why the War God's Wall could protect the God's Kingdom for so long. With such thickness, even if the demons of the abyss were good at digging walls, it would take several days to destroy it. Moreover, the War God's Wall should be made of the same material as the giant wall. It was not made of ordinary rock. The Great Splitter had only left a few shallow claw marks on the War God's Wall. One could imagine the toughness of the material!
Whoosh!
The purple dragon quickly braked and set off a hurricane. The hats and headscarves of the soldiers on the top of the wall fluttered. The flags inserted next to them were also fluttering.
Soon, several figures rushed over from afar. The leader was an old man in his sixties, wearing a dark golden armor. His hair was white, and he was not wearing a helmet. His face was stained with blood, and his armor was also stained with blood. There were pieces of flesh in between the gaps of his armor. When he saw the young man with the brush cut and the others on the flying dragon, he let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Finally, you guys are here.
The young man with the brush cut stepped on the dragon's neck and jumped down. The tall woman and the one-eyed middle-aged man followed.
Dean also jumped down with them.
When he and Aisha landed on the ground, the soldiers standing around suddenly looked at them. For a time, countless murderous aura quickly gathered on Dean. To be precise, it gathered on Aisha who was next to Dean. Countless spears were pointed at them.
At this moment, even Dean, who had countless bloody hands, felt a chill.
These soldiers were completely different from the soldiers he had seen before. He could see through the heat source that these people were Pioneers! Pioneers who were considered as masters in the God's Wall seemed to be the lowest level here. However, these people were completely different from the Pioneers he had seen before. Their murderous aura was so strong that they seemed to climb out from the hell.
Dean's hair stood up. He instinctively had an impulse to fight and resist.
"Well?" The old man in his sixties frowned slightly. The soldiers around him suddenly received a message. They put away their spears and stood still. It seemed that the previous scene didn't exist at all.
But the murderous aura still shrouded Dean. It seemed that once Aisha made a move, they would immediately attack.
"Who is this?" The old man in his sixties looked at Dean with some doubts. Dean didn't seem to be a border envoy, and he had never seen him before. But he could see that the corpse king seemed to be this young man's.
"Don't get me wrong. He came here temporarily when we were on the road. I heard that the situation here is critical. Seeing that he is also at the abyss level, I thought that he could help here." The young man with the brush changed his arrogant attitude and said politely to the old man.
The old man suddenly understood. No wonder he felt that Dean was a bit strange. It seemed that he hadn't reached the border envoy level.
"What is this corpse king?" The old man asked.
"He brought it with him. He is going to bring it back to the Kingdom of God and present it to the king." The young man with the brush didn't want to waste time on Dean. He simply said a sentence and immediately asked: "How is the situation here?"
