Chapter 510: To the Army (2/2)

Along with them, there are other ninety-eight new recruits. All of them are humans and most of them don't have any traces of Naga Bloodline in them.

So, they are going to be the cannon fodder on the frontline.

They were taken away on a transcendent stage beast, they traveled for two days straight and reached the Army camp.

This is the nearest border to the Imperial capital. Generally, the imperial capital would be in the center of the nation, but this is not like that, the imperial capital is located at the border of the two states of the nation, and this area which is the gray zone has some cities in between the capital and the border.

This is the most active border too as the enemy nation is completely hostile and is trying to take over any moment.

There are at least three significant attacks every year and even the timing wouldn't change. The next attack is going to be in a few days.

That is why they are injecting new blood so that they can have sufficient cannon fodder.

Yodha accompanied them until they reached the camp, but after that, he left the place and handed them over to someone else. Sam and Arman are going to be enrolled into Yodha's battalion along with the rest, but in which company, no one knows.

There are many newcomers coming that day and all of them are grouped up together in an empty ground.

At first, they have to register identities and after that, they will be separated and assigned into different companies and battalions based on their abilities. Of course, that is how it was originally supposed to be, but Sam and Arman are coined into Yodha's battalion even before that.

So, all they did was waiting for the identity registration and taking Id crystal token.

With this Sam and Arman officially had citizenship in this Naga realm. They can roam freely in this one nation at least.

Even though Sam and Arman are Nascent stage cultivators, they are still assigned as soldiers. Simply put, the average foot soldier has the cultivation of great realm in this place, but they cannot just give a higher rank to a cultivator who just joined.

So, there are some special battalions in the Army where the nascent stage soldiers are assigned to and Yodha happened to be the battalion commander of such battalion even though, he is an Initial stage Pre-transcendent cultivator.

After Sam assigned to the battalion, or more precisely to the company that has over one hundred members, including him and the nine other newbies, they were asked to take a rest for the day.

The next day, early in the morning, the company was called for an assembly.

After taking the general attendance, the rest of the company are sent to training, while the ten newbies are left in the assembly ground along with the Company commander.

The company commander is also a Nascent stage cultivator but at the late stage. He too has purple scales but they are extremely faint in color almost close to white.

He looked at the newbies and said.

”The Nascent Battalion-1, which you are now a part of is a special battalion in the entire base. Because this battalion is used to break into the newbies who just joined the army after they reached the Nascent stage.

In this battalion you would receive extensive training as a soldier and the required disciple will be drilled into your heads.

Generally, a Nascent stage cultivator at the middle stage or late stage will be eligible to become a company commander and the Pre-transcendent stage cultivator can become a battalion commander and only a Transcendent stage cultivator can become a Regiment commander that too provided they have all the qualifications and required merits.

Since a normal soldier would have joined when they are a Great realm cultivator, the promotion would not be complicated.

But for the cases like you, it would be a bit difficult.

So, there are a specific set of rules you have to follow if you want to be promoted and if you reach the rank of company commander you will be either appointed as one or will be sent to another normal battalion to take the role.

Here are the rules regarding your stay and the promotions, it is better if you remember them by heart but you have to do it in your break time.

So now, we need to see your abilities, so you will fight against the most recent candidates that came before you to see that. Get ready for the battle.”
