The small flying machine piloted by Arus was not fast, in order to follow Qin Yan and Hou Qing along the way, and carefully explain the various regulations of the expeditionary force.

It can be seen that he attaches great importance to Qin Yan and Hou Qing, after all, Eller is his nephew, and he is extremely favored by the prince and has a very talented son. Even if Eller's status is a concubine, it is almost impossible to inherit the title of prince, but with his talent and strength, he will definitely be able to control a strong party in the future.

After all, in a higher civilization, identity is important, but one's own strength comes first, isn't the reason why Eller is favored by the prince because of his amazing talent?

What about Arus?

As a squadron leader, he can manage 100 squads, and each squad has 50 standard formations, each with 100 warships. Then, there are as many as 500,000 warships under his jurisdiction, and tens of millions of soldiers under his jurisdiction, which looks really amazing.

But!

How does this series of data compare to the army of the Lyra Empire?

Not to mention that the Lyra Empire has a total of four major military branches, just this expeditionary force has five bases, and one base has nearly a thousand fleets, each fleet is divided into 100 squadrons.

And he is just one of the thousands of squadron leaders in this base, and there are other high-ranking officials above the squadron leader.

In the entire Lyra Empire, what is his position?

Even in his family, the person with the highest position in the army is just a captain: all in all, his rank is nothing in the expeditionary force, and his family is in the Lyra Empire, which is also a small family that is not in the stream.

In contrast, even if Eller can't take over the throne of the prince in the future, with his strength and talent, when he becomes independent, he will become a medium-level existence in the empire, which is by no means comparable to Arus and his family, not to mention that Eller is still the son of his own sister.

Along the way, listening to Arus talk about all kinds of rules and all kinds of rewards and punishments, Qin Yan didn't have the slightest interest in his heart.

The so-called rewards are nothing more than money and leyline source spirits, which mean nothing to him.

"Mr. Arus, my Eller is a good friend, if you don't mind, can I call you uncle?" Before Qin Yan was about to find what he wanted to know the most, he slapped his ass fiercely.

"Of course!"

Although he doesn't know Qin Yan's origin, regardless of whether he has a background or not, just because Eller didn't hesitate to ask for himself in order to help him enter the expeditionary force, it means that he has a good relationship with Elle, and although Alus doesn't need to talk to Qin Yan, he is at least happy to get closer to him.

Hearing Qin Yan say this, a smile appeared on Arus's face: "Since you call me uncle, if you need anything in the future, just say it." ”

"Uncle Arus, I just want to know what is the fastest way to move up the ranks in the army." Qin Yan finally asked what he wanted to ask.

"Well...... this"

Arus didn't expect him to be so straightforward, but when he thought about it, the young people wanted to make contributions: "If you really have the strength of the early stage of the Heavenly Martial Four Heavens, you can immediately become the captain of the standard formation, commanding a formation composed of a hundred warships, and at least one or two thousand people under your jurisdiction." ”

"Then what is the way to obtain a higher rank?" Qin Yan asked again.

"You call me uncle, and I have some advice I must tell you. It's good for young people to have ambitions and ambitions, but they can't be ambitious, take the squad leader as an example, at least they need to be cultivated in the late stage of the Tianwu Quadruple Heaven, and the key is that in addition to strength, they also need to match their combat exploits. Therefore, you just need to go out on the task step by step now, don't say that you don't have that strength, even if you really have the corresponding strength, it's still useless if you don't have combat merits. ”

"Oh...... It turns out that as long as you reach a certain strength and have combat merits, you can be promoted to the military rank? ”

"Of course not."

Arus shook his head and said, "In the army, it is not the cultivation realm that is said to be true, but the actual combat effectiveness. Let's put it this way, if there is a Heavenly Martial Six Heavenly Master and has enough combat merits, if you want to advance, you don't just want to show your cultivation, but you have to fight! ”

"Hit it?" Qin Yan was stunned.

"Whatever position you want to get, just defeat the officer in that position, and that position is yours, it's as simple as that."

"Can you have a casual fight here?" Qin Yan was a little dizzy.

"If it's a challenge, of course, it's okay, but if a low-ranking officer challenges a high-ranking officer, the low-ranking officer can't kill, but the challenged party can. This is a test of the courage of a soldier, if you are not sure, you will not be able to be promoted without enough guts, because the challenge is likely to cost your life. ”

While the small aircraft was flying, Arus explained, and it took about half an hour for the group of three people to finally arrive at the recruit registration office.

At first, Qin Yan planned to make a formation captain first, but after listening to Arus's explanation, he changed his attention.

Although Arus is not a high-ranking official, he is a middle-level officer after all, commanding hundreds of thousands of warships, and it is not a problem to arrange a recruit, even if this recruit does not have any cultivation, even if he is just an ordinary person, it is arranged under his hands anyway.

Of course, if it is only the lowest-ranking private, it is naturally fine, but if you want to be an officer, you must take a strength test.

Arus was about to let Qin Yan test his strength, but Qin Yan took the initiative to say that he wanted to start as a recruit.

Seeing Qin Yan say this, Arus believed his speculation even more: he felt that what he said just now served as a warning to this little guy and made him no longer ambitious.

But...... Eller is a Heavenly Martial Sixfold Heavenly Cultivator, how could the Cultivator of the friend he made be so bad?

Could it be that this guy is also a second ancestor, and he came to the expeditionary force to gild?

Right!

It must be so!

Qin Yan and Hou Qing changed into private uniforms on the spot: Hou Qing doesn't like to talk very much, at least he doesn't like to talk to strangers, anyway, Qin Yan is not a fool, so he will not object to Qin Yan's decision.

For his nephew's entrustment, Arus naturally had to do it himself, and after taking the two of them to complete the procedures for changing their nationality and joining the expeditionary force, he took them back to the squadron under his control, where the military camp was located, and prepared to arrange accommodation for Qin Yan and Houqing.

"Yo! Isn't this Arus? ”

Just on the way back to the barracks, a yin and yang strange voice suddenly sounded: "I heard that your squadron was in a certain star system not long ago and lost five formations in succession, right?" Hey...... Five formations, that's 500 warships, 100,000 troops, didn't you say anything above? ”

Due to the presence of various sophisticated equipment inside the fortress, there is a prohibition in the expeditionary force base that no one, including the base commander, can violate, and that is to use abilities inside the fortress.

Therefore, all personnel, from top to bottom, as long as they enter the interior of the fortress, can only use small aircraft to travel.

Opposite side.

On a scooter-like one-man flying machine, there stood a guy less than 1.6 meters tall with a pitch-black face about the size of an African.

It's just that what I'm talking about here is just skin color, and he looks much uglier than Africans, at least with Qin Yan's aesthetics.

On the shriveled forehead, four eyes are lined up, the nostrils are two black holes, and the long arms extend almost to the knees, on which are three very long fingers...... Of course, there are hundreds of millions of races under the jurisdiction of the Tianqin Empire, and there are all kinds of freaks, and it is not surprising that Qin Yan, who is even uglier than this, has seen it.

"What does this have to do with you?" Arus said coldly.

"Private, you're new to the expeditionary force, aren't you?"

The dark guy stared at Qin Yan and Hou Qing with four eyes, and said with a strange smile: "Don't you know that many of the soldiers under the command of Squadron Leader Arus have applied for transfer recently?" All of this was caused by his stupidity, which caused five formations to be lost in the same star system one after another - you can join my squadron if you want, at least my squadron has never made such a major mistake. Ha ha...... In my case, if there is a formation lost somewhere, either no more reinforcements will be sent, or more fleets will be sent to it. ”

"Heudi! This matter will naturally be dealt with above, and you don't need to publicize it everywhere. Plus, they're already my subordinates, what do you mean by that?! Arus was furious.

"It's not interesting, I just want these two poor recruits to stay away from death." Heudi said with a grin.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't join your squadron." Qin Yan shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh?"

Haiwudi was obviously stunned, and then laughed: "Are you even disregarding your own lives in order to show your so-called loyalty to him?" It's stupid, and only a recruit like you would make such a stupid decision - then wait for death to come. ”

"This bastard's mouth stinks." Hou Qing frowned.

"I think so." Qin Yan agreed.

"You...... What did you say?! Haiwudi's face immediately changed, of course, this change was limited to expression, and it was impossible for the dark face to change color.

"I said you're a stinky bastard, do you have any opinions?" Hou Qing said indifferently.

"Presumptuous!"

At that moment, several of the attendants who were with him shouted, and one of his fellow men was the most fierce.

He pointed at Hou Qing's nose and shouted, "Private! Do you know what this is in the Expeditionary Force? Damn it...... I must let you die without a place to bury! ”

"Don't talk, I'll take care of it." Arus frowned and whispered to Hou Qing.

"But the truth is, not only do they have bad mouths, but they are too ugly - I'm just telling you the truth, how can this be an insult?" Hou Qing's face was full of indifference.

"You...... You ......"

The little henchman almost collapsed: everyone knows that their race is ugly, because all highly intelligent human beings have the same aesthetics, and their appearance is natural and they can't change it, so they hate others to talk about their appearance the most, so those who say this are their enemies: "Damn bastard, I'm going to duel with you!" ”

"Duel? The captain of the formation launched a duel against the privates? Do you think that's possible? Arus looked coldly at the captain of the squad.

In the Expeditionary Force, a soldier can be punished by his commander for making a mistake, but only by the commander to which the soldier belongs, because transgression can lead to disputes. At the same time, high-ranking officers are not allowed to make combat demands to lower-ranking officers, otherwise which master will not like a certain little soldier and kill if he still wants to? Who would want to join the Expeditionary Force?

Qin Yan had heard these rules from Arus before, but he had heard more than these, so he said with a smile: "You really want to duel with me, right?" But you are not qualified to take the initiative, and in order to satisfy you, I challenge you as a private - do you think I can take your place? ”
