Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 1278 - No Can Do

Lanqueas was located at the west of the Huring Continent, so the country Rean and Roan arrived at was obviously at the east border of Lanqueas. It made sense that the war between regions was more dreadful at the west border of the region they were in at the moment, Vigal.

Rean and Roan were then given a day to prepare before they got teleported to the war zone on the west side. It's not that the army was being thoughtful, but that the teleport formation only activated once per week. It happened that it would be activated once again tomorrow.

Rean and Roan didn't have much to do in that place, so they simply cultivated in a corner, waiting for the day to pass. It was quite unfortunate that they couldn't bring Rank Three Divine Stones out as its Divine Energy would catch too much attention. Then again, Celis and Kentucky were already using it in the Dimensional Realm.

The day quickly passed, and the twins were finally allowed to enter the teleport formation. The formation was quite big, made so that many cultivators could be teleported at once. As far as the twins could see, around 500 or so cultivators were heading to the west. The other teleport formations seemed to have many more cultivators, though.

That was just the first of several tens of teleport formations that Rean and Roan took. One must remember that really long-distance teleport formations would need Rank Two Divine Stones or maybe even higher. That's why they had to teleport from nearby cities to others. Every time they stopped by a city, the number of cultivators increased. Eventually, it reached a point where no more cultivators could be added, with each jump teleporting 10000 cultivators at once.

This continuous teleportation went on for ten days as they weren't teleported straight away after arriving at a city. They always had to wait for things to be ready before teleporting again. That's why it took that long. Nevertheless, the twins finally arrived close to the border of the Vigal Region. They weren't teleported straight to the border, as that's where the battle was happening.

In fact, the border was supposed to be much further away. But the Vigal Region had been on the losing side, with two other regions attacking them. If there was something good, it was the fact that those two also had to deal with other regions. The war wasn't called a ten region war for nothing. From what the twins found out, an alliance of five regions gathered together to increase the size of their territories.

The initial idea was to attack the two regions at the border, Vigal and Gupo. Vigal and Gupo then reached out for help and convinced the other three regions to join the fight. Those three new regions thought that they might become a target later if that alliance worked out. Rather than wait for the calamity to come, they might as well act now to prevent the alliance's occupation of Vigal and Gupo.

Of course, reinforcements took some time to arrive. That's why the Vigal Border was further inside than it was before. That was the amount of territory that the two regions attacking Vigal currently occupied. Those two regions were called Jesvo and Qovetch.

By the time the twins arrived at the army's teleport formation, they were immediately called out by the officers there. "Get out of the formation. There are still more people coming from it."

Sure enough, as soon as they left, the teleport formation activated again, and another batch of 10000 or so cultivators appeared. There were even more teleport formations in the area, activating nonstop. The twins didn't find it surprising, though. A 'small' city like Optigo had over two hundred million people. In that case, just how many people were present in an entire region full of countries?

If anything, the majority didn't want to be teleported here, so this vision was definitely not as impressive as the other battlefronts.

Rean's group was quickly brought outside the city, where the army was stationed...or part of it, at least. From what they heard, that endless number of cultivators couldn't be considered even 1% of the total numbers. There were many more cities close to the new border that had a similar amount of cultivators. Let alone the real armies stationed at the many battlefronts, holding the enemy.

The twins then entered a queue again, one of the thousands of queues where the newcomers were sent to their specific groups. "Give me your tokens."

The twins' tokens were marked through Divine Sense with the information they gave in Optigo City, so the guy at the counter could see all their information straight away. "Two cultivators at the Initial Stage of the Saint Realm. Odd Elemental Affinities. Even for an odd elemental affinity, we have special squadrons that put them together. When there are that many cultivators in a war, you can find countless odd Elemental Affinity Cultivators of the same type. We put them together according to their Elemental Affinity."

The guy then narrowed his eyes as he continued, "However, this is the first time I've heard about Light and Darkness Elemental Affinity. We don't have any squadron or regiment with this kind of power. What I can do here is send you to the regiments where cultivators use Yin and Yang Element to control Light and Dark Elements. Obviously, it'll not be the same as you two. You truly have the affinities and don't need to manipulate Yin and Yang Energy to gather Dark and Light Elements. Nonetheless, that's the closest I can get."

Rean then raised a question, "Can my brother and I be sent to the same squadron or regiment? We use a technique that allows us to exchange elements, so we can both use Dark and Light. We fight several times better together than alone as well." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on Noᴠel Fɪre.net - ɴovᴇlbin

The worker pondered over it for a bit and shook his head. "No can do.. The army has its rules, and I don't want to be penalized because I sent someone to the wrong place."
