Chapter 378: Chapter 26: Over a month later, the merit rankings - has Zhao Xing gone mad? (6K)_2

A transmission envoy team will be sent to City 92 to receive everything at once.

This will be redistributed by the Military Realm.

Losing the supplies of the Divine Might Army wouldn’t have been so severe, but losing the supplies of the Military Realm merits a severe penalty.

"Why not wait until the Transportation Department is about to arrive and then submit everything together?"

Because battle honors are calculated in stages, reaching certain thresholds grants rewards.

Furthermore, June is nearly over, and the teams from the Transportation Department will be arriving soon.

If we really can’t hold out, we’d probably lose our lives, so who cares about battle honors? Submitting now or later doesn’t make much of a difference.

"Thank you, Yisuan Star Lord!"

Zhao Xing burned another yellow paper, as a gift to the gods.

This kind of divination, completed after a mission in the Military Realm and conducted within the divine temple, involved costs covered by the court. Zhao Xing didn’t need to pay anything extra for sending off the gods.

Upon leaving the divine temple, Zhao Xing sent the ’Heart Worm Grass’ and ’Blood Essence Fruit’ to the Transportation Department’s internal treasury for sealing.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the city stands, it is not possible for losses or thefts to occur.

If the city falls, then all bets are off, and preserving one’s life is paramount.

.....

After submitting again, battle honors broke through 100,000.

Zhao Xing glanced at the Earth Mirror and saw his rank had risen to within the top four thousand.

During his rest, he went to the City Lord Mansion to read through the military dispatches and reports from various armies.

He did this from time to time to prevent any major intelligence omissions that could lead to misjudgments about the current situation and potentially cost him his life.

"Currently, the Divine Might Army seems to be a rising force, with Liao Rulong, Huang Mian, Zhou Zhen, Wen Shaoyang, Fu Qing, and ten other Capital Commandants making quick advancements with their troops."

"Among all the armies of the Five Great Grotto Heavens, they can be ranked in the second tier, just behind the five or six strongest teams."

The Divine Might Army is at the bottom of the Ten Suns Cave Heaven and was reorganized just two years ago.

Many of Yang An’s old subordinates were lost.

The outside world unanimously considered the Divine Might Army to be a weak force, as many of its commanders performed modestly after leaving their veteran troops.

However, the Divine Might Army has shown remarkable Divine Courage.

"By the end of June, the ’army battle honors’ will be calculated."

"The people killed and the ground gained by Liao Rulong’s unit attribue part of the merits to the logistics personnel in the rear."

"I left the pass on the 20th of June and arrived in City 92 on the evening of the 23rd."

"This means I could earn a substantial amount of battle honors by doing nothing."

Zhao Xing hadn’t arrived until now, which meant he had just caught the right wave.

The calculation of army battle honors depends on how the previous battles were fought, and will not be assessed in such detail. Logistics officers will be awarded based on rank.

Zhao Xing estimated that by the end of June, he could gain another 10,000 battle honors, or perhaps even more.

Gaining an additional 10,000 battle honors for doing nothing is the advantage of being with a strong unit!

Originally, Zhao Xing would have refused to join anyone except Old Chen in the Divine Might Army, and now the initial benefits are beginning to show.

"At this stage, moving fast means earning more battle honors and more opportunities."

"In the Divine Might Army, I immediately became a City Commander."

"I heard that Shi Yong, in the Tiger Flood Dragon Army, couldn’t even make it as a single City Commander; going to the front lines to fight, he could only act as a leader and wasn’t even a Colonel."

"Guan Junyang in the Xuanjia Army could only be an assistant to Xia Jing, even though he has developed high-level methods."

"Zhuang Ziqing, however, managed to become a City Commander, but Feng Qiu and Li Feng serve under him."

"Cao Shuang and Jiang Tianming have just transferred and are also struggling to compete with those seasoned Seventh Grade officers."

If Zhao Xing had accepted Wei Yuan’s invitation and joined the Tiger Flood Dragon Army, he would probably not be in a good position now.

Indeed, they promised him the command of a camp right away.

But after a couple of battles, if your performance disappoints, you’d be benched to cool your heels.

Joining the Tiger Flood Dragon Army, Zhao Xing figured he would have a hard time beating them.

Looking at those in the Tiger Flood Dragon Army and the Xuanjia Army ranked Seventh Grade, many are among the top hundred on the Seventh Grade leaderboard.

Of course, the Tiger Flood Dragon Army is a first-tier force, and their monthly battle honor settlements are also more generous than the rest.

"Golden Feather Royal Court sent reinforcements to defend the Extreme Flame Desert. Are they planning to protect the Qinggang Mine?"

"The Royal Hall was beheaded, Lv Yuanwei is really bold."

"The northern edge of the Fire Demon Territory is the Extreme Flame Desert. If Liao Rulong’s Unit goes southeast and can penetrate the Fire Demon Territory at a swift pace, maybe they can follow in Lv Yuanwei’s wake and pick up some leftovers."

"Taking down the Qinggang Mine, Lv Yuanwei will accrue tremendous merits." Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Crystals from the Qinggang Mine can greatly enhance those in the Sixth Grade Heavenly Gang Realm!

Taking down this mine, holding it for a year, and depleting its resources, even without doing anything else afterward, the battle honors would suffice to bestow thousands of ranks of Marquis on that army!

"This part of the Fire Demon’s territory is a treasure at an early stage. In my past life, it was Lv Yuanwei who took over the mine, maintaining his leading advantage and dominating the top spot on the Sixth Grade leaderboard for the entire training phase."

"Later in the higher-end battles, he was promoted to a real Fifth Grade and became Marquis Shenlei, and still maintained his strength, reaching a real Fourth Grade within a year."

"Even after failing in the offensive against the barbarians and being demoted, he still had a post below the real Fifth Grade, preserving the early battle results, which is quite an achievement."

In the latter half of Emperor Jing’s campaign against the barbarians, there was a great defeat, augmented by Prince Liang’s rebellion, leading Emperor Jing to cut down many military officers.

Lv Yuanwei’s ability to maintain his early battleground achievements and the real Fifth Grade rank, as well as retain the title of Marquis Shenlei, was impressive.

"This man has deep luck and talent. If Liao Rulong’s Unit is indeed going to fight the Fire Demon Clan, I should participate in the front lines later on," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Farming is quick now, but the merits of the Qinggang Mine are even greater!
