Armipotent

Manager Fier read the letter and nodded. He gave the letter back afterward, "You can hold it if you want. That can be handy if someone doubts your identity as a player."

"Then let\'s proceed with how to enlist. Without a doubt, we need your help in the frontline to fight the demon and the beastmen, but we have a procedure for recruitment. It will not affect your plan to enlist, but it may affect your earning."

"You can show your rank to us, and we will determine your mercenary rank to determine your pay. For example, if you are an Epic Rank, you will be promoted directly to an Elite. You will get paid one hundred Tower Coins per hour as an Elite as long as you are on duty in the frontline. Of course, if you don\'t want to reveal your rank to us, you can start at the bottom as the Rookie. There\'s no hourly wage for the Rookie, but you can raise your rank based on your contribution on the battlefield."

There was no need for Tang Shaoyang to ponder as he directly made his decision, "We will start from the bottom." There was no way he would show his information to these people. Especially when there was a group of people that were hostile to the players.

There was a reason for the native wanting him or the other players to reveal their rank. It was because the System did not bestow them with Detection Skill, a skill that was exclusive to the player. Manager Fier did not know Tang Shaoyang\'s rank right now, and Tang Shaoyang wanted to remain that way. Of course, he understood why The Union wanted to know his rank. That way The Union could station them at the right place.

Manager Fier nodded understandingly and took out three wooden badges with the word Rookie on them, "These are the badges. You need the badge to keep updating your contribution. Please drop your blood on it, and it can be proof of your identity as well."

Tang Shaoyang followed the instruction, biting his thumb, and he dropped the blood on the wooden badge. The badge absorbed the blood, and his name appeared on the badge. Lu An and Rosalie followed after him.

Manager Fier briefed them on how the mercenary system worked for the Union. They were paid based on their contribution, and the way to contribute was to kill their enemy for sure. There was a new interface that appeared after dropping their blood on the badge, and also a new identity interface that only worked on the twelfth floor.

[Enemy Slain: 0]

[Name: Tang S | Affiliation: Union | Mercenary Rank: Rookie]

The identity did not show his full name, and there was no crucial information shown in that. Then Manager Fier briefed them on how to rank up. Killing one hundred enemies would rank them up to Intermediate Rank, and they needed to kill a certain number of enemies to get to the next rank and so on. The rank was followed by Rookie, Intermediate, Advance, Elite, Master, Elite Master, and Grandmaster.

After briefing the general about the mercenary and their duty, Manager Fier led them to the Captain Soldier who would lead them to the frontline.

"Your timing is quite good. Captain Borun returned a few days ago to bring the new recruit to the frontline. If you are a few days late, you will have to wait for another month before the next recruitment," Manager Fier was quite friendly in their conversation, willingly explaining a lot of things to them instead of leading them silently.

Soon they arrived at the training ground, which was the place for testing the new recruit. However, Managed Fier did not lead them to the testing arena, directly to the platform where a man with a thick beard was watching the test. The man with a thick beard glanced at Manager Fier before scanning Tang Shaoyang and the other two. A frown formed on his forehead.

"Good afternoon, Captain Borun. I bring you good reinforcement, the players who just arrived in our city. They want to enlist in the frontline."

When Manager Fier mentioned the players, the frown on the man with a thick beard disappeared. He was pleasantly surprised by the news. His gaze fell on Tang Shaoyang who looked the strongest among the three, but the frown returned as his eyes set on the young man and the delicate woman. Not that he had a prejudice against the woman or the young man, but it was just common sense that these two would fall into the category of burden.

"Have you confirmed their identity?" Captain Borun opened his mouth. His voice was rough yet deep, asking Manager Fier.

"Yes, I have. They have a recommendation letter from the temple. You don\'t need to worry about it," Manager Fier answered patiently.I think you should take a look at

"What about their rank?"

"They decided not to reveal their rank, so they will start as Rookie."

The frown on Captain Borun deepened hearing that, clearly displeased with that. However, there was nothing he could do with the Union\'s policy. He could not refuse the players who wanted to enlist. That was the rule he could do nothing about it. The thing that displeased Captain Borun the most was that he also could not test the players. That would be tricky because if the players were strong enough, he could station them in the crucial position of the frontline.

"Alright, understand. You can leave, Manager Fier," Captain Borun accepted the new recruit.

"I wish for your success in the frontline," That was Manager Fier\'s parting words before he left the training underground.

"Alright, what position do you want? The vanguard or logistic division?" The question was meant for Rosalie and Lu An. Captain Borun felt like the two were suitable for the logistic soldier.

"We want the Vanguard," Tang Shaoyang replied.

"What about the two behind you?" Captain Borun asked again. Even though Tang Shaoyang used "we" when he replied, Captain Borun still asked again. The Captain was still in doubt about the two\'s capabilities.

"They will follow me to Vanguard."

"I am asking them, not you," Captain Borun was already in a bad mood with how poor quality this month\'s new recruit was, so he was quite snappy.

"I want to stay as a Vanguard!" Lu An and Rosalie gave the reply, not willing to start a conflict on their first day. However, Lu An\'s eyes never left Captain Borun.

"Bwahahaha…" The answer invoked laughter from the men behind Captain Borun. They were the five experienced soldiers who followed Captain Borun to bring the new recruit to the frontline.

"What can a snotty brat like you do in the frontline? Become food for the beastmen? Or fertilizer?" Another soldier followed in tune, and sonorous laughter filled the air.

"Also, a hot woman like you should stay in bed instead of going to the battlefield. What about warm—" Before the third soldier finished his words, Tang Shaoyang\'s figure disappeared. He did not use skill, he was just too fast for the soldier and Captain Borun.

Tang Shaoyang caught the soldier\'s neck, lifting the soldier into the air. Their eyes met, "Finish your words!" He said it in a cold voice, telling the soldier to finish his words.

"Why don\'t you finish your words?"
