"Warriors of the Golden Oak Tribe, follow me."
"This human warrior, follow him."
The Elf Guard separated Qin Tian and Alon and the others, each heading to designated areas.
Qin Tian was not surprised by this.
Elves and humans cannot live together, the reason being the distrust toward humans.
However, Qin Tian could understand and support this decision since mercenaries are a mixed bunch with some unable to control their desires.
Separating humans and elves is both a protection for the elves and a way to avoid potential conflicts.
Following an Elf Guard, Qin Tian walked through the forest for about ten minutes and finally reached the human living area.
"Li, thereās a newcomer."
The Elf Guard called to a middle-aged man wielding a longsword.
The middle-aged man came over, glanced at Qin Tian, and said:
"Alright, Iāll take him."
"Okay."
The Elf Guard said nothing more and turned to leave.
"Young man, come with me."
The middle-aged man spoke as he walked, "My name is Li Canghai, and Iām currently the deputy captain of the 18th platoon. You will join our 18th platoon, and Iāll assign specific tasks to you."
"Alright, Captain Li."
Qin Tian nodded.
Seeing Qin Tian so cooperative, Li Canghai was favorably impressed by the young man and asked:
"Young man, whatās your name?"
"My name is Qin Tian."
"Qin Tian, howās your strength?" Li Canghai asked straightforwardly.
Qin Tian: "Tier Three Four Stars."
Tier Three
Li Canghai nodded slightly. Although Tier Three was a bit weak, given the current shortage of personnel, having a Tier Three Spiritualist join was already quite good.
"Qin Tian, weāre currently operating a two-person team in the 18th platoon. Another newcomer arrived before you, so you two will form a temporary team. If there are changes later, weāll reassign personnel." Li Canghai said.
"Alright."
Qin Tian nodded.
In no time, Li Canghai led Qin Tian to a treehouse.
"This will be your treehouse. Youāll be sharing it with another newcomer. Itās a good opportunity to build camaraderie."
Opening the door, two beds were placed in the center, and someone was already on one of them.
When Qin Tian saw the newcomerās face, he was slightly taken aback.
It was an exceptionally young man, more accurately, a mere boy, appearing only sixteen or seventeen, with a youthful visage. He wasnāt very handsome, but he gave off a very clean vibe.
So young a boy, daring to come to an elven battlefield?
"Alan, your teammate is here."
Li Canghai called out.
Alan jumped off the bed, appraising Qin Tian up and down, then said to Li Canghai, "Uncle Li, can I have a room to myself?"
Li Canghai was speechless: "Iāve told you many times, donāt call me Uncle Li, Iām not that old. Call me Brother Li or Brother Hai."
"Alright, Uncle Li." Alan nodded.
Li Canghai shook his head helplessly and said:
"Sharing a room is the rule, and itās meant to help you familiarize with each other quickly and close the distance. From now on, youāll be comrades relying on each other. Make sure to get along well."
"Qin Tian, itās almost mealtime. Later, you can go to the big square ahead to get dinner. By the way, in the Elf Race, all three meals a day are fruits, nothing else."
"I know that."
Qin Tian said, "I stayed at another Elf Tribe for a while. After eliminating the Dark Elves there, I came to support the Silver Moon Tribe."
Hearing this, both Li Canghai and Alan looked at Qin Tian a bit surprised.
"Qin Tian, I didnāt expect you to voluntarily come to this most dangerous place."
Li Canghai didnāt know how to address Qin Tian, maybe this was the bravado of youth, Qin Tian was like this, and so was this youth named Alan.
"Just so you know, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now. Take down my communication number, and contact me if you have any questions. Early tomorrow morning, weāll rotate to the front lines."
"Okay."
Qin Tian nodded.
After Li Canghai left, Alan said in a somewhat unfriendly tone:
"Hey, this is my first time sharing a room with someone else, so there are some rules I need to lay out. First, donāt make noise at night when youāre sleeping and wake me up. Second, wash your clothes and socks, I donāt like bad smells. Third..."
Qin Tian ignored Alan, placed his luggage on the bed, and started to leave.
Alan stepped in front of Qin Tian, lifting his chin and said:
"Hey, I wasnāt finished with my rules. Youāre not allowed to leave."
Qin Tian looked at the immature kid in front of him, shook his head, and said:
"First, Iām not called āHeyā, Iām Qin Tian. You can call me Brother Qin or Brother Tian."
"Secondly, this is a battlefield, itās a military camp, not your home. If you want to make rules, go home."
After speaking, Qin Tian brushed Alanās head aside and stepped out of the treehouse.
"You!"
Alan was fuming, following Qin Tian closely, his mouth jabbering like a machine gun.
"Qin Tian, right? Why do you get to say such things to me? What about the military camp? Canāt we have rules in the military camp?"
"Since weāre sharing a room, we should respect each other. If you have any rules, feel free to share. I can cooperate."
"Hey, are you even listening to me, you... mmph~"
Qin Tian picked up a fruit and shoved it straight into Alanās mouth with slight annoyance:
"Eat, talk less; your little mouth chattering nonstop is annoying."
Alan fiercely bit into the fruit, as if biting into Qin Tianās flesh, and snorted coldly:
"Anyway, if you donāt follow my rules, I wonāt be your teammate."
"Wow, such a heavy punishment."
Qin Tian feigned surprise, watching Alanās triumphant look, unable to resist, tapped Alan on the forehead with his knuckle.
"Kid, this is not the place for you; go home already."
"That hurts!"
Alan covered his forehead, yelling loudly: "Iām not a kid! If anyone should go home, it should be you."
His voice was loud, drawing quite a bit of attention.
"Where did this little brat come from, here to get himself killed?"
"Yeah, what was his family thinking?"
"Could he be an orphan, with no one to care for him, tricked into coming here?"
"Possibly, judging by that look, his head might not be quite right either."
"Donāt say that. This little brat is actually quite pitiful. He probably never even experienced a womanās touch and now might die in a foreign land."
"That canāt be said, maybe heāll be captured by a Dark Elf soon, and at least get to experience the taste of Dark Elf before dying."
"Hahaha!"
Listening to the surrounding laughter and chatter, Alanās face turned bright red in anger, almost steaming from his head.
Seeing this, Qin Tian shook his head helplessly.
This teammate, oh...
