Beast Taming Patrol

"Qiuqiu is also very impressive," Lin Su chuckled silently, promptly sensing Qiuqiu's hint of jealousy, and reached out to pat Qiuqiu's head, "After getting on the battlefield, controlling the field and beheading will be up to you."

Causing chaos among the beasts with Snow Explosion, assassinating the opponent's formidable entities with Cold Frost Dream Domain, and sweeping a large area with Frost Silence Storm—although Qiuqiu did not have as many skills as the ghostly creature, what stood out was Qiuqiu's explosive output.

"Meow! (ᓀωᓂ)" (Watch me!)

With Lin Su's recognition, Qiuqiu's expression instantly became smug, and it glanced at the ghostly creature before holding its head high with pride.

Little brother, once we arrive at our destination, I'll show you what it means to be an elder brother! Read latest chapters at empire

"Silence!"

The familiar Spiritual Ripples skill suddenly emerged, and a voice appeared in everyone's minds at once, calming the somewhat softly murmuring square in an instant.

Lin Su quickly fell silent and stood properly, looking ahead.

Ahead on the stage stood an instructor who had summoned the Heart Connection Deer Spirit.

After this period of training, Lin Su was no longer the novice he once was; he was very clear about the significance of those combatants who reserved a contract slot for the Heart Connection Deer Spirit.

Within the boundary of the border battleground, no technological products could be used; even electromagnetic waves would be disrupted, making communication difficult to sustain, and the delivery of military orders became a major problem.

And these Heart Connection Deer Spirits were the messengers on the battlefield.

Their unique Talent Skills, Spiritual Ripples, allowed them to transmit combat commands over a large range quickly using their supernatural Spirit powers, enabling commanders in the rear to direct the forces at the front.

At the start of a battle, almost at every interval, there would be a combatant who had contracted with the Heart Connection Deer Spirit, responsible for relaying orders. With special training, they could even transmit an order across the entire battle line within seconds.

As the crowd quieted down, the instructor contracted with the Heart Connection Deer Spirit spoke calmly, his voice spreading instantly through the Deer Spirit's skill.

"The initial training of the reserve camp has ended after half a month. Starting from now, you will truly step onto the battlefield. In combat teams, you will undertake the operational tasks of the reserve camp. Tell me, are you ready?"

"We are ready!"

Though the voices of the more than three thousand people standing in the square were not perfectly synchronized, they were sufficiently imposing.

"Now, I will announce each combat team's operational task," the instructor continued, "The deadline to complete the task is ten days. If the task is not completed within ten days, it's considered a failure. If the task is completed ahead of schedule, you may choose to..."

"Return to the rear camp early or continue fighting on the battlefield," the instructor looked up at the crowd, "The beasts each of you kills during the operation will be calculated according to the battlefield contribution point system and will be reflected in real-time in your Beast Tamer accounts."

After this was said, anticipation appeared in the eyes of many.

For most students, it was not easy to obtain contribution points.

After all, not everyone was a freak like Lin Su.

Thus, for the vast majority, killing beasts on the battlefield was a great opportunity to earn contribution points.

Especially here, where the contribution points gained from killing beasts came with an extra bonus.

After briefly explaining the rules for the operational tasks, the instructor activated the light screen and announced aloud.

"Combat team number one, your operational tasks are as follows:"

As the instructor spoke, everyone on the square tensed up.

Obviously, combat team number one was most concerned about their operational tasks being announced at the moment.

The other teams were equally concerned about the details, as their turns were approaching.

The tasks assigned to different combat teams likely wouldn't differ too much and could provide a reference.

"Combat requirements: participate in the operation more than 5 times!"

"Total team kill requirement: 500 elite-ranked beasts!"

"Minimum individual kill requirement: 3 elite-ranked beasts!"

"Additional combat requirement: kill 10 elite-ranked Monarch-class beasts!"

Having announced combat team number one's task, the instructor looked down at the somewhat noisy reserve camp crowd and continued, "The first three requirements must be completed. If any of them is not fulfilled within the ten-day deadline, the operational task is considered a failure!"

"The last additional combat requirement, if not completed, will not affect the operational mission evaluation. If completed, the whole team will receive extra contribution point rewards, and the difficulty of the final evaluation tasks post-operation for all squads within the team will be reduced!"

Boom!

All at once, the crowd erupted.

Everyone's eyes became fervent at that moment.

Extra contribution point rewards!

Reduced difficulty for the final evaluation tasks!

The rewards for the additional combat requirement were too generous!

In the midst of the crowd, Lin Su raised his eyebrows slightly.

The task for combat team number one was not difficult to understand.

The so-called number of times in operations referred to the number of times they would take to the field during a beast tide.

On the battlefield, there were clear divisions between the front lines and the areas for rest and regrouping in the rear. Combat teams fighting back-to-back would inevitably need rest and could not be expected to enter the fray every time a battle occurred, typically they would take turns resting to gather strength before joining the fight against the beast tide once more.

The frequency of beast tides on the border was extremely high, with one or two occurring every day.

Therefore, during the ten-day mission period, the number of beast tides could perhaps reach more than a dozen, and among those, the combat team only needed to go into battle five times, which was a very low requirement.
