Chapter 511 -A Letter of Challenge
Jiang Chen went to the Soldiers’ Roll Call Platform of the Red Flame Battalion. Gazing at the soldiers, he decided to do something to raise their morale.
In the Third Legion, morale wasn’t an invisible thing. There was a way to quantify it. Battalions could be compared through their morale values.
Jiang Chen had studied it a little and come to the conclusion that it was the representation of one’s emotional fluctuation.
It was a good way to test morale on the battlefield.
The morale of the Red Flame Battalion was, out of the question, the lowest, while the battalions with the highest morale were all trump cards of the legion.
It was a rule that the battalion that functioned as cannon fodder had the lowest morale, and the trump cards had the highest.
It’s time to make a good change, Jiang Chen thought to himself.
And Jiang Chen couldn’t say no, since if the challenged one refused, they would be isolated in the army.
A commander brought the letter to Jiang Chen.
Glancing at the letter, he said, “What’s your name?”
“Wang Qiang,” the commander answered.
“Is this Zhang Tianyi a tough guy?”
Speaking on this topic, even Wang Qiang’s tone changed. He said seriously, “Absolutely. Zhang Tianyi is only a bodyguard, but once, he received an order to go to a rescue, and he managed to inflict heavy losses on the Dragon Rebel Army, although his men were inferior to the enemies in number.
“He also matched an elite general of the Dragon Rebel Army once.
“He’s the man of the hour among the Reaching Heaven States in the army. It’s said that the middle troop will promote him to general as soon as he becomes a Venerable.”
Wang Qiang looked at Jiang Chen with pity. It had sounded like a great thing to beat those bigwigs’ brains in, but the price he would have to pay was obvious.
“In three days?”
Gazing at the date on the letter, Jiang Chen felt curious. Why hadn’t he sent the letter three days later then?
Was it to give him time to be prepared or to make him live in fear in the next three days?
“Ridiculous.”
He put the challenge letter aside, not finding it a big deal. He wouldn’t change his plans for such things.
In the army, the ability that mattered the most for a general was leadership.
This wasn’t just a vague idea, but a framework with clear regulations and requirements.
Troops formed by practitioners were divided into different camps to make good use of tactical formations. Generals were the key of a tactical formation. It was their job to exert the power of the formation.
Jiang Chen was a lieutenant. Qiu Yan would teach him the tactical formation of the Red Flame Battalion, but it seemed that Qiu Yan wasn’t in a hurry, so Jiang Chen was thinking of how to spend the 1,000 merit points.
It would be easy to spend them. One thousand merit points could be exchanged for a class-ten breakthrough panacea or a spiritual armor of the magic level. This was important, since it was the most common way to stay safe on the battlefield.
Jiang Chen found most people would exchange points for these things or martial arts bibles, but few people would choose to use them on practice equipment.
It made sense. One could die anytime on the battlefield. Survival was more important than anything else.
Like the others, Jiang Chen was thinking of whether to exchange the points for a class-ten breakthrough panacea or not.
Although he could refine one by himself anyway, he wouldn’t have to bother finding the ingredients needed.
