A commandant was in charge of a division and had 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers under him. He was a rank 5 officer and was already a mid-level or high-level general in the army.
Lu Pojun was neither surprised nor displeased by the military judge's words.
Putting everything else aside, Li Xin's achievement of killing a chiliarch was enough for him to be promoted to the rank of a lieutenant commanding a battalion. Adding on the others, especially the achievement of killing hundreds of armored elites, it would not be a problem for him to be promoted to a commandant.
Lu Pojun, as the commander, knew this very well!
However, Li Xin's situation was a bit special.
What was special about it? What was special was that he was the son of Marquis Yanhai, and it was His Majesty's imperial edict for the children of the various noble families in the Divine Capital to join the army.
Should he be promoted? How should he be promoted? As the general of the guards, he had been promoted to a lieutenant according to his military achievements before he had figured out the Emperor's intentions. He had jumped into the ranks of fifth-grade generals.
This made Lu Pojun uncertain.
"General, are you worried about the promotion of Hundred General Li?”Seeing that Lu Pojun was silent after his joy, the military judge smiled and understood.
"Yes, I am." Facing his confidant, Lu Pojun didn't hide anything and sighed,""General Li is the son of Marquis Seaside, and it is His Majesty's will that he join the army.”
As he spoke, he cupped his fists in the direction of the Divine Capital.
"And I really don't understand what His Majesty means to them, and I'm also feeling uneasy.”
" If I advance rashly, will I…"
"General, this matter is easy to handle." the military judge said with a smile.
"Oh?" Lu Pojun looked over.
"Originally, Li Xin's contribution was enough, but if he didn't reward him, it would make the soldiers feel disappointed. However, His Majesty's intentions were unclear. It was definitely inappropriate for him to be promoted.”
"This general's idea is that the general can temporarily promote Li Xin as a lieutenant. At the same time, Red Plume will send a message to Lord Marquis and let the Northern Battlefront Marquis decide!”
"Ha, wonderful!" After hearing this, Lu Pojun clapped his hands happily and said to the military judge,""In that case, summon General Li over."
"Here!"
……
In the medical camp, Li Xin, Yang Feng, and the others were visiting the heavily injured soldiers.
Although the third team had won a great victory, their battle achievements were shocking. However, how could there not be casualties in a war?
In the battle at Wotang Village, the third team of the first camp had only suffered light injuries. In this battle, they had lost five people and injured more than ten people. Seven of them were seriously injured.
Compared to the third team's record, such casualties were very low, not to mention that they always won with fewer people.
But after all, someone had died.
He was able to adapt to the strangeness of killing for the first time and was able to be shocked in his heart, but he still looked on calmly as the army charged forward.
But after the battle, facing the tragic situation in the medical camp, Li Xin's heart was unusually depressed.
Especially after seeing his subordinates with broken arms, Li Xin's heart became even heavier.
Although these people could receive dozens of taels of silver as rewards for their military achievements, they would not have to worry about their livelihood for a short period of time.
But what about the future?
Sit and eat?
"Hundred Generals, the general has sent someone to find him." Just as Li Xin was deep in thought, Liu Hu approached and reminded him.
He turned around and saw that it was the commander's personal guards.
"General Li, the general has orders for you to go to the commander's tent.”
"Yes, I accept your orders."
After receiving the order, Li Xin looked at Yang Feng and Hua Ling and said,"I don't care about the others, but our brothers must use the best medicine. If the money isn't enough, I'll pay for it myself.”
"Here!"
The two accepted the order. Li Xin then turned around and followed the commander's personal guards to the central army.
Outside the commander's tent, Li Xin was waiting to be summoned. The personal guard who led the way went in to report.
After a while, the bodyguards came out.
"General Li, the general invites you in.”
"Thank you."
After cupping his hands, Li Xin entered the commander's tent.
"I am Li Xin from the 3rd unit of the 1st Battalion. Greetings, Commanding General and Generals.”
In the commander's tent, there was not only the Gale Guard's commander, Lu Pojun, but also his three subordinates, who were also Lu Pojun's deputy generals.
"General Li, there's no need to be so polite."
"Thank you, General." Li Xin straightened his body and pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, waiting for the other party to speak.
"Hundred General Li, the third team you led has outstanding military achievements. You have also killed more than a thousand enemy chiliarchs. With your accumulated achievements, you can be promoted to a commandant. However, due to my authority, I can only promote you to a lieutenant first.”
"The rest will be decided by the Governor of Youzhou, the Northguard Marquis.”
"Do you understand?"
"Thank you, general. I understand!"
Li Xin understood what Lu Pojun said. He did not understand the Emperor's meaning and did not dare to make wild guesses. Therefore, he suppressed his military merits and was only promoted to a lieutenant.
As for what authority he had, that was just an excuse.
But even so, Li Xin's impression of this general was not bad.
After all, the other party had given him a promotion instead of directly suppressing his credit and waiting for the Marquis of Zhenbei or even the Emperor to make a decision.
"Very good." Seeing that Li Xin was neither servile nor overbearing, Lu Pojun nodded and said,""From now on, you will be the lieutenant of the 1st Battalion.”
"The first unit is the most important unit of this guard. I hope that under your leadership, the first unit will be able to make new contributions.”
"Yes, this general accepts your orders!"
After that, after obtaining a new military card, Li Xin cupped his fists and left the tent.
"Greetings, Commandant."
Outside the tent, Liu Hu and the others who received the news were overjoyed and bowed to Li Xin.
"Alright, Liu Hu, you bring some people to collect the rewards from the 1st Battalion. The rest of you, follow me back.”
"Here!"
When he returned to the 1st Battalion, the military order had already been passed down. Along the way, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion paid their respects to Li Xin and addressed him as "Lieutenant".
The former lieutenant Ling Fang was seriously injured in the battle during the day and was still being treated. Now, Li Xin, this fierce general, had become a lieutenant. The entire 1st Battalion was very happy.
After all, if the general was strong, the soldiers under him would have a higher chance of survival.
After Liu Hu and the others had cashed in their military rewards, Li Xin promoted Yang Feng and Hua Ling to Hundred Generals, and they were in charge of the third team and the second team of Hundred Generals who had died. Then, he handed over the military rewards to them and entered his tent.
In this battle, Li Xin saw the weakness of individual strength when facing thousands of troops.
In the midst of an army of thousands of soldiers, those who had not reached the level of hidden force were just slightly more powerful ants. In the face of an army of tens of thousands of soldiers, the strength of open force really could not cause much of a stir.
If he wanted to survive in the upcoming battle, his current strength was still a little low.
Thus, the most important thing now was to increase his cultivation.
In addition to the previous battles, he had obtained a huge amount of points.
Among them, the battles of the soldiers under his command could also earn him points.
[Host: Li Xin]
[Strength: Initial stage of light jing (Strength of an elephant, 10,000 jin)]
[Cultivation Techniques: Dragon Elephant Force (Level One), Nine Bloody Massacres (Beginner), Overlord Spear Technique (Beginner), Reckless Bull Fist (Yellow Rank High Grade, Perfected), Basic Saber Technique (Perfected), Basic Spear Technique (Perfected)]
[Total Points: 15,235]
Seeing that he had obtained more than 15,000 points, Li Xin was very happy.
He was happy not only because of the points, but also because there was a notification that he could level up after the Dragon Elephant Force.
Of course, the Nine Bloody Massacres and Overlord Spear Technique also had notifications that they could be upgraded.
Without hesitation, Li Xin directly pressed the upgrade button behind the Dragon Elephant Force.
The first level of Dragon Elephant Force was instantly upgraded to the second level.
After that, Li Xin only felt his blood and qi surging, but it was transforming his body in an orderly manner. After an hour, the blood and qi in his body calmed down.
He clenched his fist and felt his strength. He casually waved his hand and punched, causing the wind to howl.
After upgrading the Dragon Elephant Force, he looked at the system and saw that he still had more than 5,200 points left. However, the upgrade notification for the Overlord Spear Technique did not disappear.
After thinking about it, Li Xin upgraded the Nine Bloody Massacres and entered the small success realm. In the previous battle, he had discovered that when he used the Nine Bloody Massacres, it seemed to have the effect of recovering health and stamina during a bloody battle.
In addition, he only had enough points to level up the Nine Bloody Massacres. In the future, in the First Battalion, he would use his saber most of the time, so he did not hesitate.
The upgrade this time was very fast. In less than ten breaths, the inheritance of the Nine Bloody Massacres Saber Technique was completed.
