Chapter 1781 - 1779: Two Stars
People of one-star rank face a high mortality on the battlefield, and Peter Brown was well aware of this; hence, upon entering the battlefield, Peter did his best to keep a low profile, gravitating towards areas where his side held an advantage.
However, the situation now filled Peter’s heart with fear; despite his efforts, his side’s condition was not very good, with many casualties.
Over two hours later, Peter’s side finally secured a narrow victory.
After clearing the battlefield, the Army finally settled down for rest; upon inspection, what was once an Army of tens of thousands now had fewer than ten thousand left, greatly diminishing the Army’s morale.
Peter now understood the entire structure of the Army, arranged from bottom to top: Sergeant_Major, Junior Captain, Squadron_Captain, Major, Brigadier, division commander, Commander, and Marshal.
Currently, Peter was merely a soldier in a squad.
He covertly observed that, generally, Sergeant_Majors were chosen from individuals of one-star rank, Junior Captains included some Two-Star ranks, while Squadron_Captains were mostly Two-Star, some Three-Star, and Majors included some Four-Stars and Five-Stars. Higher ranks than these were not seen by Peter as their unit was comprised of a few Majors without a Brigadier; therefore, the highest cultivation level was among the Five-Star People.
"The Major requests your presence," said a messenger who came running just as Peter sat down.
Hearing that the Major wanted to see him, Peter understood that he might be promoted.
Indeed, upon entering a large tent, several Majors turned their gaze towards him.
The Chief among them, who was the Major of their unit, inspected Peter from top to toe, then said, "You are quite impressive, being able to defeat a four-star high-level cultivator as a one-star individual. Your military merits are commendable. Ideally, you should be greatly promoted, but given your current level of cultivation, you can only become a Junior Captain at most. What do you think?"
