Chapter 1167 - Rules And Registration

The female fiend paused a bit after saying that and gave a sweeping glance to everyone.

"You are all mercenaries at the moment. You might have different identities outside and you might have different statuses outside.

But currently, you are mercenaries until the war is over. You have one duty and that is to help the Fiend tribe destroy the Myriad beast sect as much as they can. 

Every kill you make, every business you destroy, and every resource point to spoil, you get a bonus from the Fiend tribe. Everything you get from the loot can be kept by you and if you find something valuable you can also sell it to the fiend tribe.

This place is going to be your operational base for the time being and you are going to move and act from here.

You can either act as a team or you guys can work alone. But once you make a choice, it is impossible to change it back.

Now, each of you will be given a crystal token."

As soon as she spoke, the fiends who took out the table came with some thin rectangular crystal cards.

They gave a card to every person and the female fiend continued.

"You can make a contract with the card with your blood. After the contract was made, this would be the identity card for you guys until the war is over. 

After you are done with killing someone, finishing a mission, destroying a business or resource point of the Myriad Beast sect, even taking down a city, you need to come back here once and register your contribution into that card.

As for how you could register it, you need to bring some evidence. As long as the evidence is convincing, your contribution would be noted and you can get some contribution points equivalent to that.

You can redeem your contribution points anytime and get rewards for them. It might be resources, weapons, or any other stuff, you might like. You can even buy a position as an honorary member of the tribe and be a lifelong friend for us, enjoying a status of power and influence."

She paused a bit and let them digest the information and continued.

"Now, let us talk about the missions. You can get missions from this base. Every mission will give you significant aforementioned contribution points and if the difficulty went beyond the mission description and you can provide sufficient evidence for that, you will get paid extra.

You can also act independently without caring about the missions and do the damage as much as you like and as long as it doesn't interfere with some important missions' completion, we wouldn't mind. If you make any contributions that way, you need to register them here and it might be a tedious process.

And there is a chance that assigned missions would give you more points because they were valued and prioritized by the fiend tribe."

She explained some more rules and the registration process started. Sam looked at the token and felt a bit suspicious. Because he didn't hear a thing about the confidentiality and secrecy of the whole situation.

The female fiend who identified as Commander Miran didn't even mention a single thing about the consequences of revealing information to the enemies, betraying them, and showing the location of the secret gathering to others.

She didn't even indirectly hint at that.

Sam felt this is fishy and judging from the expressions of some other people including Noah and Kumar, he is sure that they also felt the same.

But he looked at the others and saw that many are calmly making a contract. He wanted to wait for a bit and see how the situation goes.

At the same time, he injected his energy into the token and used his observation ability.

He could see the crystal structure and the very minute inscriptions engraved all over it. There is a disguise inscription that makes all the inscriptions disappear and there are also a bunch of other inscriptions which are for the other uses of the card.

After looking through all of them for ten minutes, Sam finally concluded that there is no serious threat to them. He also noticed something else in it.

A dormant spirit can only be triggered over some specific conditions and it has a very different job.

He cut his finger and made the contract and gestured for Kumar and Noah to do the same.

Both of them didn't question him and made contracts.

After another five minutes, everyone was done.

Commander Miran looked at all of them and said.

"From now on you are all secret soldiers of the Fiend tribe. I hope you help us win this war and your contribution may bring all of that you wish for."

With that, she left.

A table was placed on the stage a Male fiend sat on the chair placed behind it.

"I am the Deputy commander in charge of this base. My name is Myrion. Commander Miran is a busy person so I would be helping her in looking after you.

Now, everyone one of you comes here by teams or one by one and registers on how you want to act in this war.

Whether you want to be independent or you want to be assigned, come and select quickly.

Sam looked at this deputy commander who has a gray skin tone. His cultivation level is the same as his own. The Middle-stage transcendence of Astral Plane.

All three of them went to the stage and registered as an independent.

Myrion looked at them and said.

"Your cultivation level is not bad, but you are only considered average in the war. Are you sure you want to act independently? It might get dangerous."

"We are sure."

Sam said once again and the other party just shrugged and left them alone. The other fiends looked at them in disdain for which Sam didn't understand the reason why.

But it didn't take long for him to figure it out. People who got their missions assigned could get some detailed information on their mission, but for every information, the independent people have to participate, they need to pay some contribution points.

This means, they have to gather their own information and since it is a war, it would be a hard thing to gain the information accurately about a place if there is no neutral city or town nearby, where they could at least get some information from merchants.

But the trio didn't care. Gathering information might be hard, but not for them. They survived worse situations and they are sure that they wouldn't die trying to gauge the strength of their plausible target.

Anyway, Noah already has targets in her mind as he already planned this a while ago.

Three of them took off on the sky and moved towards their target destination.

On their way, they started discussing how to escalate things.

"I don't think we need to specifically do anything. From the looks of it, the gloves are about to come off on both sides. They are clearly going after the main members of the organization and if my guess is not wrong, the myriad beast sect might also be doing the same.

I caught glimpse of the missions assigned to others and they are all the missions targeting main businesses and main personnel of the Myriad Beast sect."

Sam said as he looked at the map Noah prepared.

She already marked some of the locations of the plausible targets that could escalate the war.

"We should still need to do add some fuel to the fire. The fiend tribe is unusually cold and their defense is extremely tight. Except for the Marsh Village, only Akhil had some success among others in dealing with them.

When we made a young master who was quite high-profiled die in the Myriad Beast sect's core area, the reaction didn't even come for a few days. The fiend tribe went on with their activities normally for a week, before they even reacted.

So, we cannot expect the other group to provoke the fiend tribe enough. We need to do that for both of them and make the Myriad Beast sect act rashly to make the fiend tribe react more."

Noah said from the side.

They stayed silent and reached their destination by evening. They didn't act immediately and waited near the woods.

They arrived at the town under the control of the Myriad Beast sect.

This is one of the areas that take care of the food for the Beast sect. They breed low-level beasts that are suitable for becoming food for the low-level cultivators as well as contracted beasts in the sect.

This area in particular is an area with rich wood elemental energy.

From the information Noah gathered, the Myriad beast sect didn't even bother mining the wood elemental stones from the vein they found there, they just grew the herbs that would act as feed for the beasts they are breeding here. This is basically a giant farm with a pasture.. Everyone trying to grow herbs and raise beasts.
