Chapter 510: To the Army
The only thing good that came out of Vasuki's pursuit is that he now understood the Nagas more and he would have learned it anyway.
Now, that the initial step in their plan is done, they have to move towards the next step. But before that, Yodha, Sam, and Arman, three them went to the administrative office of the city, where they have required documents for the registered land.
The new land they bought is currently under Yodha's name. Since humans cannot buy this much land in the vicinities of the Imperial capital, this is the only way for them to deal with this.
After taking the documents, Sam observed something else about the Naga race, they are actually quite meticulous in the administrative work and everything is documented, he even learned that there is an Identity card system, but it is more like a crystal token that gives details about you on a holographic projection.
This system is quite advanced.
Sam didn't expect this, he thought that except for the luxuries of the Naga and based on their lust and other factors, he judged them to be living a bit more on the savage side rather than civilized.
After that, the next step is enrolling in the Army.
Since yodha 'bought' him out of the Arena, it is best for them to join the Army. This way, Sam and Arman will have a new identity on them on this planet and they can roam freely when they came back once more. Anyway, Sam has his own business now, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have an identity and residence at this place.
But before going, Yodha still has something to do, so Sam and Arman are staying at the construction site of the new factory.
No one knew that this place is the business involving Rana too because in their eyes Rana has completely disappeared after the auction in the Arena.
Currently, Rana and the subordinates that included the workers, attendants and some fighters in the Arena are all staying at the construction site in the tents.
The first phase of construction is a large compound wall in the land.
The land is very huge for almost five hundred acres, Yodha said he got some deal since the land is outside the city and it was left to waste.
At this moment, Sam is looking at the Transporter. He is looking at the coordinates in it. There is another function in the Coordinate system and that is noticing the coordinates of his current location. He didn't get the time to see this before, so now he is taking a look.
The Realm coordinates and Planet coordinates are all been fixed the only thing that was left are the Coordinates within the planet, so he opened the marking system to see if it is the function at all and he is not disappointed.
When he changed the location and opened the transporter, he can see that there is a change in the coordinates when he activated the marking function. He could at least move to the required location when he needed to come back.
After everything was done here, Sam used Rana's help to gather the information and knowledge regarding this planet. Since Rana belongs to the Golden Blaze family that has a great influence over the metals and raw materials, he got first-hand information on the mineral resources of this nation.
Apart from that, he got the information regarding the number of states in the nation, the coastal line, and finally the number of nations on the planet and such.
After that, Sam started studying the geography of the nation and the states to see what kind of medicinal herbs, fruits, beasts, and other things he can obtain here.
The only regret Sam has is that he can gain the beasts and herbs and grow them in his divine dimension, but the problem comes when he has to use these beasts on his own planet.
Because some of these beasts cannot survive in an environment without Miasma.
This is somewhat regretful, but there are many beasts that can survive without Miasma but just some poison herbs will do like purple flame horses.
Sam got busy with the details so that he can take advantage of this environment.
Apart from that, he also has to teach the new workers how to do things in the factory. If only he could have brought some of his subordinates things would have been easier.
Rana tried his best to discreetly hire some workers since the technical capabilities required are not that high, it has been easy enough for them to hire them.
After teaching them how to operate the power hammers, the lathe, the grinder, the cutter, and even the Pressing machine that makes the outer shell of the grenade and the assembly, he even recorded the whole process so that they could re-watch again.
After this one week, Sam and Arman left the place along with Yodha to join the Army.
Along with them, there are other ninety-eight new recruits. All of them are humans and most of them don't have any traces of Naga Bloodline in them.
So, they are going to be the cannon fodder on the frontline.
They were taken away on a transcendent stage beast, they traveled for two days straight and reached the Army camp.
This is the nearest border to the Imperial capital. Generally, the imperial capital would be in the center of the nation, but this is not like that, the imperial capital is located at the border of the two states of the nation, and this area which is the gray zone has some cities in between the capital and the border.
This is the most active border too as the enemy nation is completely hostile and is trying to take over any moment.
There are at least three significant attacks every year and even the timing wouldn't change. The next attack is going to be in a few days.
That is why they are injecting new blood so that they can have sufficient cannon fodder.
Yodha accompanied them until they reached the camp, but after that, he left the place and handed them over to someone else. Sam and Arman are going to be enrolled into Yodha's battalion along with the rest, but in which company, no one knows.
There are many newcomers coming that day and all of them are grouped up together in an empty ground.
At first, they have to register identities and after that, they will be separated and assigned into different companies and battalions based on their abilities. Of course, that is how it was originally supposed to be, but Sam and Arman are coined into Yodha's battalion even before that.
So, all they did was waiting for the identity registration and taking Id crystal token.
With this Sam and Arman officially had citizenship in this Naga realm. They can roam freely in this one nation at least.
Even though Sam and Arman are Nascent stage cultivators, they are still assigned as soldiers. Simply put, the average foot soldier has the cultivation of great realm in this place, but they cannot just give a higher rank to a cultivator who just joined.
So, there are some special battalions in the Army where the nascent stage soldiers are assigned to and Yodha happened to be the battalion commander of such battalion even though, he is an Initial stage Pre-transcendent cultivator.
After Sam assigned to the battalion, or more precisely to the company that has over one hundred members, including him and the nine other newbies, they were asked to take a rest for the day.
The next day, early in the morning, the company was called for an assembly.
After taking the general attendance, the rest of the company are sent to training, while the ten newbies are left in the assembly ground along with the Company commander.
The company commander is also a Nascent stage cultivator but at the late stage. He too has purple scales but they are extremely faint in color almost close to white.
He looked at the newbies and said.
"The Nascent Battalion-1, which you are now a part of is a special battalion in the entire base. Because this battalion is used to break into the newbies who just joined the army after they reached the Nascent stage.
In this battalion you would receive extensive training as a soldier and the required disciple will be drilled into your heads.
Generally, a Nascent stage cultivator at the middle stage or late stage will be eligible to become a company commander and the Pre-transcendent stage cultivator can become a battalion commander and only a Transcendent stage cultivator can become a Regiment commander that too provided they have all the qualifications and required merits.
Since a normal soldier would have joined when they are a Great realm cultivator, the promotion would not be complicated.
But for the cases like you, it would be a bit difficult.
So, there are a specific set of rules you have to follow if you want to be promoted and if you reach the rank of company commander you will be either appointed as one or will be sent to another normal battalion to take the role.
Here are the rules regarding your stay and the promotions, it is better if you remember them by heart but you have to do it in your break time.
So now, we need to see your abilities, so you will fight against the most recent candidates that came before you to see that. Get ready for the battle."
