629 The Recruitment’s Number One
Just then, the city was also in an uproar because of the Recruitment Hall. Many people from other cities had rushed over through the teleportation array.
After all, knowing the news through the Star Web was one thing, but the Recruitment Hall was only set up in the City of Dawn. It didn’t exist in other places.
On that day, a large number of people began to gather in the central region of the Kingdom of Dawn.
The Recruitment Hall was built in that area.
“What a majestic Recruitment Hall.”
“It is said that they not only recruit scholars but also military generals, paying equal attention to both civil and military. As long as you are confident in your strength, you can challenge them. The arena defenders are General Zhao Sheng and General Zhang Jian. It’s said that General Zhang is a body refiner with shocking strength.”
Zhang Jian was another general who had been promoted. His strength was on par with Zhao Sheng’s, both at the third stage of the mythical realm.
It was a test, after all. They could not allow top powerhouses like Zhao Yun, Li Jing, or the Demons and Angels to fight. Otherwise, there would not be many people selected.
Of course, that was only the first round of screening. There would be higher-level screening later.
A pair of lifelike stone lions exuded a sharp and majestic aura in front of the Recruitment Hall.
There was a mix of good and evil in the civilians surrounding them. There were civilians who wanted to watch the show, and there were true talents who were preparing to go to the Recruitment Hall for an interview. Of course, whether one was a talent or not, one would have to go to the Recruitment Hall to know.
“I’ll do it. I’ll be number one in the Recruitment Hall.”
While the others were still watching in secret, a young man in green stepped out with a hand on the long sword at his waist.
His appearance wasn’t outstanding and could even be said to be common, but he had an extraordinary aura.
When he walked out, his steps were firm, and his expression was solemn, neither humble nor arrogant.
From that, one could tell that that person had a strong mind. Once he made a decision, he wouldn’t easily change it.
“I’m here to take the test!”
The green-robed man said to the two soldiers guarding the door in a clear voice.
“Please!”
When the two guards saw him, they nodded to themselves. To have such an imposing manner and be so decisive, he must either be a brute or someone with real talent. He was naturally not afraid of anything because he was confident.
They didn’t stop him at all and let him through.
After entering the Recruitment Hall, he first saw a courtyard.
An arena was erected in the courtyard. Zhao Sheng stood quietly in the arena, holding a long blade. He was the arena defender of that assessment. When he saw someone come in, he looked up and took a glance at the person’s hand on the battle sword. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he said, “If you want to challenge me, you only need to last 15 minutes against me or defeat me to pass the combat exam.”
“I didn’t choose the combat exam.” The young man shook his head.
“So you’re here for the written exam. Just go straight. The hall in front is your destination.”
A hint of disappointment appeared in Zhao Sheng’s eyes. He closed his eyes again and retracted his Qi dynamics.
The young man nodded and thanked him before continuing forward.
Not long after, he walked into a hall.
He saw Huang Chengyan and another middle-aged man sitting on top.
That old man was recommended by Huang Chengyan to enter the Cabinet. His name was Zhou Qing. Although he was not famous in history, he was not weak.
After being inspected by Li Xiang, Yang Mi, and others, he became a member of the Cabinet and was responsible for the various political affairs of the Kingdom of Dawn.
Their eyes lit up when they saw him. Putting everything else aside, the courage to be the first one to enter already surpassed most people. With such courage, no matter what he did, he could achieve twice the result with half the effort. Sooner or later, he would succeed.
“Little brother, are you here for an interview?” Zhou Qing said with a smile.
“I’m not here to interview. I’m here to recommend myself.” The young man shook his head and said slowly.
“Oh, self-recommendation? Then tell me!”
Huang Chengyan was very curious about the young man in front of him. That unexpected act of skipping the interview directly piqued their interest.
“The current Kingdom of Dawn has a Cabinet in charge of Internal Affairs and a Military Pavilion outside to command the army and deter the foreign races. The number of Human civilians in the territory is increasing day by day. It is moving towards peace and morale stability. On the inside, the Kingdom of Dawn is on the verge of rising and soaring to the heavens.”
“This time, the Country Lord’s massacre has shocked everyone and even captured the Kobolds. That has unknowingly awakened the bloodlust of the Human race. The people’s morale can no longer be shaken. All the foundations for Kingdom’s rise are already in place.”
The young man explained the situation in the Kingdom of Dawn clearly. His insight was impressive.
“You have good insight. However, if you can see that, so can the others. It’s not too outstanding.”
Huang Chengyan smiled indifferently and said slowly.
Now, everyone could see the rising momentum of the Kingdom of Dawn, so it was nothing.
“If that’s all, then your self-recommendation will fail!” Zhou Qing said with a smile.
“Of course, that’s not all. The Kingdom of Dawn’s hidden danger is not inside but outside.” The green-robed man said confidently.
“Oh, I’m all ears,” Huang Chengyan smiled and nodded, indicating for him to continue.
“Now that the internal situation is stable, the biggest hidden danger naturally comes from the outside world, from the Myriad races apart from the Human race. The threat of foreign races will not be reduced. Instead, it will continue to increase. If we let down our guard, the Kingdom of Dawn might be completely destroyed.” The young man said decisively.
“You mean the bloodied method of the Country Lord leading the army to fight against the foreign races wasn’t correct, but instead, it brought harm?” Zhou Qing retorted.
“Of course not. The Country Lord’s actions can be said to be a role model for the Human race, a true Human hero. That war was for the Human race, for the dignity of the Human civilians, to give all the foreign races a powerful shock. Not only was he correct, but that also contributed greatly to the Human race.” The young man shook his head.
He really didn’t think that that was wrong. In the current situation where the Human race was struggling, Li Xiang’s move at that time, killing through the foreign races’ attack, was a powerful deterrent to the foreign races.
That kind of intimidation was built up by blood and bones. If one were to be weak and give in blindly, one would not be able to obtain dignity and respect from foreign races.
However, such a massacre would not only make the Human race famous but also increase the significance of the Human race in the eyes of other foreign races. Naturally, greater danger would follow.
“This time, us being able to defeat these foreign races has indeed boosted the morale of the Human race. However, we can’t deny that foreign races are more powerful than us in terms of strength and background. A single race might not be a match for us. But, suppose a few powerful races unite and suppress the Human race and the Kingdom of Dawn. In that case, it will definitely make our situation extremely difficult. In fact, the other races’ trump cards are extremely shocking. No one knows what terrifying power they have in their hands.”
