#295 - Chapter 295 Crazy Assessment Rules
“Ding ding dang dang.”
As the sound of a silver spoon gently tapping a glass arose, the beautiful dance music in the hall ceased.
All the lords stopped in perfect unison.
Clearly, many among these lords had been waiting for this moment.
Many lords of common origin with high aspirations yearned to join the War College to make something of themselves.
And a large number of lords hoped to better themselves by joining the War College, thereby gaining more leverage in the future inheritance battles within their families.
Besides these two groups, there were also a few lords who had no interest in joining the War College, but they too quieted down at this moment.
Because in their view, regardless of the War College itself, they were quite interested in the War College's assessment methods.
“Ahem.”
“Everyone....”
Han Xuan, the principal of the War College, stood on the steps of the hall, his sharp eyes sweeping over the crowd before speaking.
“There's no need for unnecessary nonsense.”
“I've always hated useless chatter, so I'll get straight to the most important information.”
“This year's War College welcome dance will end in twenty minutes.”
“And after the dance, this year's War College entrance trial will begin.”
Hearing this, many lords were somewhat taken aback.
They didn't expect the principal to be so straightforward.
But looking at the expressions of the veteran students around them, they were already used to it, appearing quite nonchalant.
“I originally wanted to explain some things about the War College, but considering that you want to join the War College, you should have already done your research.”
“As I often say, intelligence always comes before war.”
“So, in a moment, any lord who wishes to participate in this year's War College entrance examination, please register with Instructor Li Xuefeng.”
“And while the dance hasn't ended, I'll briefly explain the trial method for this year's War College entrance examination.”
After speaking, Han Xuan raised the cane in his hand and slammed it heavily on the ground.
Instantly, with a loud “thud,” a huge map appeared behind Han Xuan.
Everyone immediately focused their attention on this map.
And at this moment, Wu Wei activated his War Vision ability.
Soon, through the data-driven capabilities of War Vision, Wu Wei determined that the area covered by this map was very large.
The area presented by this map alone already exceeded the area of Wu Wei's Raven Perch plane.
The financial resources of the War College are evident in its ability to use such a large area of land as a one-time trial site.
“Since each War College entrance trial is different, the rules for this trial are as follows:”
“First is the team formation issue.”
“All of you newcomers participating in this assessment will be placed into the same team.”
“In other words, you will temporarily become a single entity, advancing and retreating together.”
Hearing this, many lords showed joy on their faces.
Because their judgment was that if they, this group of newcomers, formed a team, then there would be many strong newcomers among them.
After all, the worst of these people were also among the top few in their respective regional lord trials.
They were strong!
But there were also some lords whose expressions turned very bad.
Because they deeply understood a principle.
Since it was an assessment, the stronger their overall strength, the stronger the enemies they would face.
This was not good news!
“Secondly, there is the method of assessment.”
“You need to defend this continent for at least ten days.”
“During these ten days, you need to act as a whole, jointly facing the attacks of the Empire's enemies.”
“And the enemy races you will face are roughly as follows.”
“Frost Giants, Rune Trolls, Yu Clan... and a small number of Blood Clan Tech Mercenary Groups.”
Han Xuan casually rattled off more than a dozen extremely terrifying enemies.
Hearing this, some lords were already beginning to feel uneasy.
But Han Xuan very much enjoyed the fear in their eyes, smiled, and then comforted the crowd:
“Don't worry, young people.”
“These enemies are all very 【weak】, because they are all defeated prisoners of war that I purchased from the Imperial army.”
“Since their defeat, they have been assigned by our Human Empire to the Death World, used as playthings and slaves to reclaim the wasteland of the local world.”
“So, starving and poorly clothed, they certainly won't cause you much trouble, right?”
“Of course, before they are thrown into that continent, they will definitely be”
Hearing this, many people's faces showed bitterness.
What a joke.
These kinds of enemies are the most terrifying, okay!
These enemies of the Empire hate humans the most. Once they are rearmed, they will definitely roar and rush towards themselves and others without hesitation, then tear them into pieces!
“Next, are some of the restrictions for this assessment.”
“The only restriction for this assessment is...”
Under the tense gaze of everyone, Han Xuan slowly said:
“There are no restrictions!”
“You can either use your own abundant financial resources to defend this battlefield, or you can use your own respective trump cards in this assessment, and you can even use various unscrupulous means to win this war!”
“Of course, this assessment will be supervised. You can only use your current strength and cannot get help from your family or guild.”
“Moreover, in order to take care of some lords with less wealth, the War College will provide each of you with a maximum reimbursement of one hundred million.”
“What!” “Really?” “This is stable!”
From the moment they heard that there were no restrictions, almost all the lords were excited.
“Of course, after all, this is only the first test.”
Han Xuan's face twisted slightly, revealing a smile that was more ugly than crying.
“If you survive these ten days, then you can welcome the second test.”
“And the enemies you face in the second test will be a little different.”
“Because the enemies you face in the second test are all the students of the War College!”
“After the tenth day, they will launch an unrestricted attack on you without reservation until you fall!”
“And they will not have any restrictions either.”
“Any of their trump cards are considered legal on this battlefield.”
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
And when they turned their heads, they found that those "senior brothers and sisters" who had just been chatting and laughing with them were showing them the most cruel smiles.
Just like a cat preparing to play with a mouse.
“And when you all fall and lose control of this continent, the trial will end.”
“After that, the instructors of the War College will select new students who meet their wishes from among you based on your previous performance, and become new students of the War College.”
“Alright, are there any questions?”
Han Xuan asked the people in front of him.
To be honest, he liked the slightly frightened and nervous look in the eyes of these newcomers, and he also liked the way these people tried to think hard after being nervous.
That reminded him of his youth.
But suddenly, a hand was raised from the crowd.
A question that everyone had not expected entered Han Xuan's ears, interrupting his memories.
“Wait, Principal, you only talked about the situation where we lose, but what if we win?”
“Do we have any additional rewards?”
“For example....”
“Resource points or something?”
The whole place was silent.
And Su Yingxue painfully covered her face.
