Chapter 194: Military Ranks

"That's it!"

After receiving his equipment at the quartermaster's office, Cario took Zero to the barracks dormitory. Located on the western edge of the training ground, the dormitory is a five-story concrete structure. Each unit of the recruit dormitory can accommodate up to four people, but the barracks are not separate for men and women, but are mixed. Therefore, during the period of recruitment, there are no shortage of incidents of armed fights due to harassment issues.

It's just that since they are soldiers trained at the same time, their strength is very close. Therefore, when there is a fight, it is not the male who has an absolute advantage. In this turbulent era of rapid change, women also have strengths and abilities that are not inferior to men. As a result, the barracks did not intend to change this mode of living, but regarded it as a crisis management training that has been used to this day.

On the way to the barracks, Cario gives Zero an overview of the Asgardian army's class system.

The military classes of Asgard are, from bottom to top, the warriors, the Holy Spirit, the Truthword, and the Lord God, each divided into three classes. These ranks correspond to privates, non-commissioned officers, lieutenants, colonels, and generals of the Dark Council. The promotion of the military rank is also related to the merit value, and the more merit points you accumulate, the higher the rank that can be promoted.

For example, if a samurai accumulates merit points to become a Truthspeaker, even if he doesn't exchange anything, he at least has to exchange it for food for life. Then, after deducting the merit points consumed, in fact, the remaining value that he could use to advance was only enough for him to be promoted to the position of a third-level Holy Spirit Person. But in fact, if a samurai wants to accumulate so many merit points, he is bound to participate in wars and military missions many times. And in the midst of this, it is impossible to appear without material consumption, so that even taking into account the merits obtained from wars and missions, the rank that can actually be promoted has to be discounted.

It is through this method that Asgard maintains a balance in the promotion system, so that the people at the bottom will not be promoted too quickly, and they will see the hope of promotion.

In the corps commander system in Asgard, it was divided into five corps. They are the Spear of Victory, led by Valkyrie, the goddess of war, the Golden Battle Ax of Tyr, the god of light, Badr, the Shield of Dawn, the Dark Blade of Loki, the god of shadows, and the Hammer of Destruction, Thor. Among them, the Hammer of Doom has the smallest number of people, but the average level of its members is a warrior-level legion, but it is the most elite Liliang in Valhalla.

As a result, there are only about 100 recruits for Doomhammer per session, but less than half of them graduate. Just those who can successfully graduate from the boot camp already have the rank of warrior.

"The requirements for internal members of the legions are relatively loose, and during non-war periods, members above the rank of Warrior are free to move. Cario opened the door of the dormitory assigned to Zero and said, "They can use merit points to recruit servants and samurai from the military headquarters, they can explore no man's land to establish strongholds or supply lines, and they can also take on tasks issued by the military department to obtain more merit points." Of course, this phenomenon is more common in the Hammer of Doom. The other legions were more composed of samurai, and they had to undergo extensive military training with their servants even during non-war periods. ”

Through Cario's smokescreen, Zero sees the room where he will be staying for a while. The room is about 100 square meters and is divided into four private rooms, a public toilet and bath room, and a small shared activity room. In terms of area, the density of dormitories is still very large. But the windows of the dormitory are bright, and they are far better than those city dwellings in the wilderness.

On the wall at the entrance to the dormitory is a list of dormitory members, on which are Su, Kaede, and an unfamiliar name named Matthei. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, in this dormitory with three other recruits, Zero knew two of them, maybe this was another arrangement to let him quickly integrate into the group.

Cario hung a sign with zero's name on the wall on the list of members, and then handed Zero a silver-gray suitcase he had received from the quartermaster's office: "This is a set of regular tactical suits, and the box contains a functional introduction and instruction manual, so you can take a good look at it yourself." In addition to this, there are some daily necessities. During the recruitment period, your food and daily necessities are paid for by the military department, but there is a quota. If you want to get additional resources, you have to pay your merit points. I've already said what I need to say, and tomorrow after Valkyrie gives you a theory class, you'll also have to take part in special training for recruits. Little one, do you understand?"

Zero took the suitcase from Cario and nodded.

"Oh, yes, there's one more thing ......"

Cario had already turned around and was about to leave, but as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned around and said.

Zero thought he was going to explain something, and showed a listening expression.

Unexpectedly, Cario suddenly flew up and kicked Zero in the chest. With a muffled snort, the whole person flew out, hitting the wall and bounced to the floor. Zero felt as if he had been stepped on by a giant elephant, and the bones of his whole body let out a wail. Cario seems to be a simple leg, but he is extremely knowledgeable in the use of force. That leg kicked Zero's chest, but the huge force dispersed and shook Zero's whole body, almost shattering all the bones in Zero's body.

Zero lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up, only to hear Cario laugh dryly and say, "In addition to the regular training, I will take special care of you." This is the first lesson, be vigilant on the battlefield at all times, one moment you are still a comrade, the next moment you may be an enemy who stabs a dagger into your stomach!"

Then, Zero hears the sound of the door closing, and then the sound of Cario's footsteps fades away.

After lying on the ground for about five minutes, his brain constantly sending all kinds of data to the muscles of his body, Zero gritted his teeth and barely propped himself up from the ground, and then sat down against the corner. Just such a simple action already made him sweat coldly. He smiled wryly and looked at his chest, the shirt that was already no different from the strip of cloth was now directly appearing a clear footprint. With Zero's movements, pieces of clothing fall off from the footprints, revealing the bandages that Zero is tied to his body.

Although the ability shown by Cario belongs to the fighting domain, Zero believes that it is by no means a simple liliang enhancement of that basic ability. Cario's leg is no longer the effect that pure Liliang can achieve. That includes a variety of techniques such as liliang's transmission, diffusion, and oscillation. And after eating Cario's blow, Zero found that his evolution point had increased by half. It doesn't seem like much, but in a fierce battle with the ninth knight Rhine, Zero only got three evolution points!
