Chapter 18 Captain Selection
Luo Ya didn't keep them in suspense: "The second way is to hold a position of squad leader or higher within the legion. The highest-ranking person in the Zijing Army is the legion commander, and below the legion commander is the battalion commander. Generally, the battalion guarding each city is a battalion, and below the battalion commander are the squad leaders."
"The Bauhinia Army is generally composed of 50 people in a small team. As long as you can serve as a team leader, you can get one merit point every hundred million years."
"One hundred million years for one merit point? That means it would take a hundred trillion years to exchange for a single drop of the power of the main god." Jag clicked his tongue in amazement.
A hundred trillion years—such a long time—that's enough time for a hundred interdimensional wars to have happened.
Many high-ranking gods don't live that long.
Although gods have unlimited lifespans, they inevitably encounter all sorts of accidents and battles over a long period of time, and each accident and battle could lead to their demise.
For someone like Jag who has read the original work, spending a trillion years to obtain a single drop of the power of the main god is a huge waste of time.
However, for many five-star demons, or even six-star demons, it was impossible for them to obtain the power of the main god. The Zijing Army offered a hope, even though it came at the cost of being bound for a hundred trillion years, it was still very attractive.
Many of the new recruits in the Bauhinia Army had their eyes shining, and one immediately asked, "Lady Luo Ya, how many merit points can a battalion commander or legion commander get?"
"Captain? A captain can get 2 merit points every 100 million years. As for the legion commander, I don't know. Once you reach the level of legion commander, you have the opportunity to see the main god in person. Presumably, you have other ways to obtain the power of the main god without relying on merit points. I advise you not to be too ambitious. Only a seven-star demon level powerhouse can be a captain. Not to mention a legion commander."
"Seven-Star Demon?" Many people were stunned for a moment.
Such a powerful figure is too far removed from their current level; many of them wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing.
"What about the squad leader?"
Luo Ya smiled and said, "The requirements for squad leaders will be simpler, and once all of you new recruits have arrived, we will hold a squad leader selection competition."
"A squad leader selection battle?" Everyone was both surprised and delighted.
"The number of people recruited this time varies from city to city. Your Blue Maple City is prosperous, so there are more positions available. Other cities may only recruit a dozen or twenty people. All together, there are about five thousand new recruits in this batch. Some of these people will be assigned to various teams, while others will form new teams. Of course, each new team needs a team leader."
"Lady Roya, can we compete for the squad leader position?" someone exclaimed excitedly.
"You? Most of you won't do it." Roya shook her head. "Only a high-level god can serve as a squad leader."
The new mid-level gods all sighed in unison, while the five new high-level gods were overjoyed.
"I never imagined I'd have the chance to compete for a squad leader position so soon after joining the Bauhinia Army!"
Looking at the five new recruits, Luo Ya reminded them, "You are qualified to participate in the selection battle, but winning will not be easy. This selection battle is open to all Zijing Army soldiers. You should have heard it just now; many people in the Zijing Army are eagerly waiting to participate."
The excitement on the faces of the five new high-ranking gods instantly froze, as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on their heads.
Those who can enter the Purple Thorn Army are all extraordinary, not to mention that others entered the Purple Thorn Army many years earlier than them, so there must be many powerful individuals among them.
Luo Ya: "Based on past battles, most of those who can become squad leaders are six-star demon level powerhouses, with only a very few being five-star demon level, and these five-star demons all have special methods or ultimate moves."
"A six-star demon!" A deep sense of frustration flashed in the eyes of the five high-ranking gods. Their current strength was barely at the level of a five-star demon, and they were still far from being six-star demons.
The mid-level gods, on the contrary, felt relieved. With such high requirements, even if they could participate, they had no hope of winning. As a result, their disappointment at not being able to participate in the captain selection immediately dissipated.
"A six-star demon!" Juggerano exclaimed excitedly. His main purpose in joining the Purple Thorn Army was to fight against the strong and have the roulette wheel replicate their profound laws. This squad leader selection was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
But before that, he needs to break through to the level of a high god.
"That's about it."
For over two decades in his life as a metal being, Jaeger had been trying to comprehend the fusion of the mysteries of evil and the mysteries of devouring.
With the help of the roulette wheel, his progress has been rapid, and he is close to achieving mastery.
Of the six profound mysteries of the Dark Laws, he only has the Evil Mystery left to be perfected. Once the Devouring Mystery and the Evil Mystery are fully merged, the Evil Mystery will naturally be perfected as well. At that time, his Dark God Avatar will be a High God and will be able to participate in the squad leader selection.
"Alright, that's about it. There are still some things you need to know about the legion, you can learn about them gradually later. Now I'll take you to your accommodations."
Roya led Jag and the others away from the palace and flew to a castle.
"The castles around here are inhabited by newcomers like you. You can choose an empty room to stay in. Once everyone has arrived, the Legion will arrange your future accommodations. My mission ends here. You can gradually adapt to life in the Legion."
"Thank you, Captain Luo Ya," everyone said.
Luo Ya waved her hand and transformed into a streak of light, leaving the castle.
The group of people went in small groups to find their rooms.
Jag randomly chose an empty room in the castle to stay in, but instead of starting his cultivation, he left the castle and returned to the palace hall where the Purple Thorn Army conducted internal transactions.
He searched the hall and soon found his target.
It was a counter run by an old man with red hair, and behind the counter were some Death God puppets.
"Sir, I would like to purchase the method for crafting the Death God Puppet. Are you selling it?" Jag asked politely.
He remembered that Amy had always wanted to obtain the crafting methods for items such as the Death Puppet and the God-Slaying Arrow to increase the Joyce family's income. After discovering that there was a trading place within the Purple Thorn Army, he decided to give it a try. Since everyone was a member of the Purple Thorn Army, the probability of obtaining the crafting methods here was definitely higher than outside.
The red-haired old man glanced at Juggernaut with surprise, seemingly having never encountered anyone who wanted to buy the refining method.
"Some of these Death God puppets were spoils of war obtained by the Legion brothers and sold back to the Legion, while others were acquired from brothers within the Legion who specialize in crafting Death God puppets. If you want the crafting method, you can go to them," said the red-haired elder.
After asking around, Jag learned that many people within the Purple Thorn Army would specialize in crafting items such as Death God Puppets and God-Slaying Arrows to sell to the legion in exchange for Inkstones.
Although the Zijing Army receives a salary every ten thousand years, who would complain about having too many inkstones? Especially the Zijing Army soldiers stationed at the headquarters, when they are not on duty, in addition to cultivating, they will also try to earn some extra money.
"Thank you!" Jag said to the red-haired old man before walking to another counter that sold God-Slaying Arrows.
