Chapter 146: Military structure (1/2)

Sam just left the matter of division to the remaining members but before that he had a few words to say.

”I won't ask why you would pick me in this kind of situation, but I thank you for that. But one point I want to make is that you might have made a biggest mistake in your life, because you would be having a hard time because of your decision and that may even affect your advancement.

If that really happens, I would do you a favour in show of my gratitude after this whole fiasco is over. But until then, I am sorry to say that you have to face the consequences of the decision you made and live with it.”

The group didn't reply to his words and they decided to make the teams in a few minutes. Sam, Hawk and Drew are in one team while Jack, Philip and Kelly are in another team.

There are no particular reasons except that among the group only Philip and Sam knew how to conduct a business and Kelly is the other Artisan who can make some products for their shop.

Jack is mostly a person who can follow orders and is familiar with Philip which makes it easier for them.

As for Sam's team, Hawk might be amiable but taking orders from Philp might be a bit too much for him as he lived all his life in superiority and Drew might feel the same.

Even though, it might make them look like being unreasonable, it is a fact that they might listen to orders of Sam because he can overwhelm them completely, but Philip although capable cannot do that for reasons unknown.

Anyway, Philip and Jack thought that this arrangement was better for them and it is being done like that.

They stood in two teams of three members.

After every other team sorted their things out, General gestured someone and that person came and started distributing some small tokens.

The tokens have numbers written on them. And for Sam's two groups the numbers 20-1 and 20-2.

They are considered as the tenth team and in that twentieth team, Sam's group of three has tokens with 20-1 and Philip's group of three has 20-2.

After the distribution is completed General spoke once again.

”All teams' first halves will serve in the military for the first 8 months and second halves will do the business.

Let me explain how this goes.

There will be two wars with our neighbouring empire in the whole test time. And first war will occur at the eighth month while the second one will be on the sixteenth month.

These two wars are only for your testing and the neighbouring empire is also undergoing the same test as you, so you would be going head on against them.

The same test is going all over the empire in every dukedom at the same time, so you better be prepared and put your heart into it, if you want to stand out.

For military batch rules, you will be sent to the military training camp which is being held in the military base of the Dukedom capital. You will be trained there and will be sent to the war in the eighth month, so your training will be there for seven months and for every fifteen days of these seven months, you will be allowed to leave the camp.

But you are only allowed to move with in the city and nearby woods that are under the Southern star city control.

The remaining rules on how your training goes will be explained in the base.

For the business part, you are allowed to move as much as you like and you can conduct business in all of the Dukedom's territory.

Even though, it is called business at the end of the day all you have to do it earn money, but you have to provide the means you obtained and make sure that you didn't do it in an illegal way.

Any businesses and assets you have previously don't count. However, you can use them as investments.

For example, if you have a land asset and you sell it, that won't count as your earnings, but you can use that money as an investment.

At the end evaluation, your returns and the investments will be compared and one with the points will be awarded based on the percentage of your profits.

Now, the batch that is going to military, you have five minutes to talk to your team and get ready.”

After the speech, Sam didn't say much he only talked to Philip for a few seconds and that is.

”Watt will be outside of the estate, you guys follow him, I bought a property you guys stay there with him.

As for business thing, try to start something, I think Watt has enough money. Just test the waters for the time being in the capital for the first fifteen days, but from what I can see things won't be easy at all.

Try your best and take care, I will see you guys after fifteen days.”

After the five minutes passed, all the candidates in the military batch are taken away. Sam looked around and didn't find Nicholas, he seemed to be in the business batch.

Sam didn't think much of it, so fifty students were taken in the carriages to the Military base of the Southern star city.
