Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1661: Chapter 524: Fu Tiandu of the Xia People, Gathering Soldiers Drum (3)

Although reserve forces can move with the army, the treatment of the two is vastly different. Moreover, Great Xia has not been in warfare for a long time, and who knows when there will be vacancies. In his eagerness to enhance his strength, he naturally did not want to wait.

By a twist of fate, he was noticed by Luo Yuan, the then Commander of the Tiger Leopard Army and Hunting Department Director of the Great Xia Hunting Department, and thus entered the Tiger Leopard Army.

Unknowingly, he has been in the Tiger Leopard Army for over a year. With the superior treatment of the army and his own efforts, he now not only possesses the mighty strength of 48 tusks but has also become the Flag Commander of the Tiger Leopard Army.

Since the founding of the Great Xia Army over a decade ago, the systems within the army have gradually matured, and the promotion system for soldiers has also developed a set of default procedures.

The latest change to the Great Xia military system was two years ago when the Allies were established. Currently, the Numbered Army system consists of 20 soldiers per team, with one captain; 10 teams form a battalion, with one Colonel; 10 battalions make up the lowest level Ninth Level Army, with one Commander; moving up, the Eighth-level Legion consists of 25 battalions, led by two Commanders each in charge of 10 battalions, with one General overseeing the entire army, and an additional five battalions of Personal Guard Army.

Apart from this top-down system, each army’s troop composition remains traditional, with each army assigning the top tenth of its members, the most elite, to the Reconnaissance Camp.

Aside from the Reconnaissance Camp, every army also appoints five Flag Commanders to hold the flag on the battlefield, move according to the commanding officer’s orders, and guide all soldiers in the direction of attack.

Due to the heavy and highly dangerous responsibilities of a Flag Commander, those holding this position must be elites among elites, typically from the top ranks of an army.

Therefore, the position of Flag Commander is not considered low within the army, typically selected from among all captains, ranking only below the Colonel in the army.

Currently, there is a widely spread saying in the Xia Army that being a Flag Commander is the stepping stone to becoming a Colonel. Once you become a Flag Commander, you have a great chance of being promoted to Colonel.

“My goal is to become a Colonel. Military Merit, I need Military Merit. Only with noble titles can I obtain a large amount of Cultivation Resources, and receive various favorable treatments, including some precious Dan Medicines, which are impossible to purchase without a noble title.

In recent years, Great Xia’s population has surged, leading to a noticeable tightening of resources, with the supply of Dan Medicine becoming strained and increasingly expensive. Even precious pills like the Sun-Rising Pill are only available for purchase by nobles, in limited quantities, and access to cultivation spots at the Martial Arts Pavilion has become increasingly restrictive, with prices soaring to terrifying levels…

From these, it is clear that if there’s anything good to be had in the future, the nobles will definitely be the first to benefit, so it’s essential to obtain nobility, it’s crucial to acquire Military Merit…”

Fu Tiandu’s mind was filled with myriad thoughts, but he returned to his senses thinking about what Meng Tian had just said, that the central army he belonged to might not engage directly with Wuchuan, which greatly dampened his spirits.

Not engaging does not mean there won’t be any Military Merit, but it will certainly be significantly reduced. When will he finally attain nobility, if ever?

Of course, it’s not only Fu Tiandu; Meng Tian and the other three Flag Commanders shared the same low spirits.

“Boom boom boom boom…”

The silence among the five was quickly broken by the dense sound of the drumbeat.

“Continued beating, it’s the Gathering Soldiers Drum!”

“Is the battle starting?”

“Look down, the commander has emerged from the tent, along with Commander Xiang…”

“Not just them, everyone’s out, the battle is really going to start, hahaha…”
