Chapter 1539 Where to go?

At this time, Zhang Xuan suddenly asked: "Excuse me, Elder Rong Xiao, are the cultivators participating in the war this time paid?"

Everyone looked at the leader of the Mercenary Alliance, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

This is really funny. We are still concerned about salary at this time.

However, Elder Rongxiao nodded slightly and said, "Your question is spot on. To encourage cultivators to participate in this war, the Dragon Spine Divine Realm is offering all participating independent cultivators the same benefits as the Realm Breaking Army. Not only are they paid, but they can also exchange them for military merit points. Some things that you might not have been willing to part with before can now be exchanged for military merit points earned on the battlefield."

Zhang Xuan nodded slightly when he heard this, and thought to himself: "If the treatment is generous, those monks in the Mercenary Alliance should not mind going to the battlefield."

As for himself, he certainly wouldn't go.

The battlefield is dangerous and you can lose your life if you are not careful.

A mere 20,000 spirit stones can be used to exempt the military service tax.

Returning to the floating continent where the Mercenary Alliance was located, Zhang Xuan told the monks of the Mercenary Alliance about the military conscription that Elder Rong Xiao had mentioned.

The entire mercenary alliance exploded instantly!

"This is unfair. Everyone knows that our Mercenary Alliance is the poorest. Now he is offering such a price. It is clearly asking our Mercenary Alliance to die on the battlefield. Instead of this, we might as well fight and escape directly." The monks of the Mercenary Alliance are famous for cherishing their lives. It is precisely because of this that these people gather together and live a life of ease by blackmailing the leader of the Mercenary Alliance.

Now that they see that this life of lying low is unsustainable, everyone naturally rises up in resistance.

Seeing that the entire mercenary alliance was about to disband, Zhang Xuan told the monks of the mercenary alliance about the various bad consequences of evading military service as mentioned by Ancestor Rong Xiao.

After hearing this, the monks of the Mercenary Alliance calmed down one by one.

Although there is a high probability of dying on the battlefield, there is still a certain probability of coming back alive.

If you really escape, the probability of survival is basically 0.

"So the only option is to go to the battlefield."

Jue Yuan, who had been silent until then, suddenly asked, "Then may I ask, Commander, will you participate in this battle?"

Zhang Xuan chuckled and said, "I'm just a mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator. Although it's difficult to pay the military service exemption tax of 2 Yuanshi-level top-grade spirit stones, I can still come up with it if I grit my teeth."

When the monks of the Mercenary Alliance heard this, sparks flashed in their eyes.

The coach is rich enough to rival a country, so why would he bother to grit his teeth for a mere 20,000 spirit stones?

Seeing the dull atmosphere, Zhang Xuan encouraged everyone by saying, "When you arrive at the battlefield, I will buy your military merit points at a high price. You can also directly exchange them for the Heaven-Defying Orb or the Earth Spirit Milk, which I will also buy at a high price. At the same time, I am here to pray for you with all my heart. I believe that you will definitely be able to come back alive."

When Jue Yuan heard his coach say this, he immediately said, "Isn't that right?"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"I remember that in the contract we signed, the commander-in-chief must lead the charge in everything. This time, the monks from our mercenary alliance are going to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Shouldn't the commander-in-chief also lead the charge?"

"No, this is different from the contract." Zhang Xuan explained, "This time, it was the Dragon Spine Temple that asked you to join the battle, not me. If I had asked you to join the battle, I would definitely have been the first to fight. But since I wasn't the one giving the order, it wouldn't be considered a violation of the contract if I stayed behind to pray for you."

"Then what if we just disband and run away?"

"I've already said it before, if you desert, you'll be in great danger if caught."

"While it's more dangerous than going to the battlefield, if my guess is correct, if all the monks from our Mercenary Alliance escape, the Dragon Spine Temple will definitely hold them accountable. And the one with the greatest responsibility is probably you, Commander?"

Zhang Xuan gritted his teeth and looked at Jue Yuan and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Jue Yuan chuckled and said, "I know that the commander-in-chief has many tricks up his sleeve and is very smart. If you can lead us to the battlefield, our chances of survival will be much better. Without the commander-in-chief, I'm afraid few of us brothers will come back alive."

Jue Yuan certainly knew Zhang Xuan's trump card. When he was in the early stage of refining emptiness, he could kill seven refining emptiness cultivators by himself.

Now Zhang Xuan has advanced to the middle stage of the Refinement Realm. His cultivation and combat power are probably even higher than that of himself, a cultivator at the peak of the Refinement Realm.

In addition, Zhang Xuan is indeed smart. In just a few decades, he has made the Mercenary Alliance a famous market.

Not only himself, but also the monks of the Mercenary Alliance made a lot of money.

So everyone feels at ease with this wise and brave commander leading the way.

Zhang Xuan had a lot of thoughts at this time. He originally wanted to hide in the back and didn't want to go to the battlefield.

He has the skills to grow spiritual plants, can refine sixth-level spiritual pills, and can also refine sixth-level formations and pseudo-Tongtian spiritual treasures.

With so many resources to support you, and gradual improvement, the path to immortality can be said to be smooth.

If we go to the battlefield, there will be too many unknown factors.

However, the threat from Jueyuan cannot be ignored at the moment.

Zhang Xuan believed that if he did not go to the battlefield, this mercenary alliance composed of a group of independent cultivators would definitely fall apart, with some escaping and some leaving.

Then as the leader of the mercenary alliance, I will probably have to take responsibility.

Jue Yuan said with a smile: "There is another way to prevent the commander from going to the battlefield."

Henry Zhang hurriedly asked: "What method?"

"Doesn't the Dragon Spine Divine Territory offer exemptions from military service? As long as the commander-in-chief can help us, the brothers of the Mercenary Alliance, get the spirit stones that allow us to be exempted from military service, then our brothers in the Mercenary Alliance won't have to go to the battlefield, and naturally, the commander-in-chief won't have to go either."

After listening to Jue Yuan's advice, Zhang Xuan almost made himself laugh.

If all 50 Void Refining cultivators were asked to pay spirit stones to be exempted from military service, how many spirit stones would that cost?

Those are millions of Yuanshi-level, top-grade spirit stones.

How could he possibly get it out?

At this time, not only the Mercenary Alliance, but the entire Broken Sky City was shocked by this news.

Regardless of whether they are large forces or small and medium-sized forces, they are all discussing whether to go to the battlefield or pay a huge amount of spirit stones to be exempted from military service.

Some monks even managed to escape by luck that day.

However, they were soon captured by the cultivators from the Dragon Ridge Divine Realm. The Divine Transformation cultivator was killed directly, and the Void Refining cultivator was assigned to the cannon fodder squad.

Such monks who want to escape can only give up the idea.

Not only Broken Sky City, but even the small world received the same request from the Dragon Spine Divine Realm.

Zhang Xuan received a letter from Bu Yueling through the Ten Directions Star Storage Order. There are now nearly 200 gods in the small world. If you want to be exempted from military service, you need to pay 2 Yuanshi-level top-grade spirit stones.

Even Donghua Shangzun, who has advanced to the early stage of Lianxu, has to hand over 5000 top-grade spirit stones of the Yuanshi level.
