Chapter 259 New Twenty-Title System

When Govis first joined the Nix, he was still a little restless. Later, he was punished several times and was influenced by the environment and his companions for a long time, so he gradually followed the crowd.

Although he always performed well in every military training of the reserve tribesmen, this did not improve his status in the army. He was still a recruit like other reserve tribesmen.

However, this recruit was not as nervous as most recruits, nor did he listen to the conversations of the veterans. He kept his eyes on the soldier sitting in front of him, and finally couldn't help but kick him lightly.

The soldier turned his head and saw that it was Govis, and immediately stared at him with hostility: "Govis, do you want to fight me again?!"

"Boy, I'm telling you the ugly words in advance!" Govis stared back at him without showing any weakness, and warned in a low voice: "If you dare to retreat or make trouble in the team during the battle later, I will never be polite!"

As Govis said, he also shook the dagger in his hand to show his threat.

Priss, who always quarreled with Govis during military training, suddenly fell silent in the face of Govis's provocation, because he was not only a reserve tribe member of the Nix tribe, but also a Segestica and a Panronian. Now he was about to fight with his compatriots.

It was Maximus's proposal to disperse more than 1,000 Segestica reserve tribe members in the tribe into the first, second, and third legions. After discussion in the Ministry of War, it was implemented half a year ago in order to allow them to integrate into the tribe faster so that they can play a greater role in the future development of the tribe.

Of course, the next main enemy of the Nix tribe is the Pannonian. Will these Segestica reserve tribe members have problems in the battle with the Pannonian?

Maximus and the Ministry of War were not too worried about this, because on average there were only four or five Segesticas in a hundred-man team, which was an absolute disadvantage in numbers, and they were scattered in various teams. They were also surrounded by the reserve tribesmen of the Scodischi who were hostile to them, just like Gorvis, who would stare at their former enemies. Even if they had other ideas in the battle, they would not be able to stir up any waves.

At this moment, Prissis, like most of his companions, was in a complicated mood even though he knew that there would be no Segestica warriors among the enemies he would face next, and he did not want to pay any attention to Gorvis's noise next to him.

At this time, a familiar voice came from the front: "Brothers, you have seen that the Pannonian army is large in number, far more than ours. Are you afraid?!"

Plisis looked up and saw the centurion Tinibazus standing in front of the formation with his hands on his waist. His words immediately caused a commotion: "Captain, what are you kidding? In every major battle we fought before, we faced a large number of enemies, and we won in the end. Even if more enemies come, we will not be afraid!"

"Not only are we not afraid, we are also very excited and happy, because they have more troops than us, and we will get more credit for defeating them!"

...

"Brothers!" Tinibazus pressed his hands down, signaling the soldiers to be quiet, and shouted in a louder voice: "Two months ago, the First Legion took advantage. They participated in the battle between the Ardi and the Otariates and won military merits. Some people were promoted because of this. Now our Second Legion finally has the opportunity to go into battle and make merit!

Just now, the legion commander told us that the Ministry of War has rated this battle as the second level. If we are the first to win The army will be victorious, and every brother can get a fifth-class merit!

Then I will congratulate the brothers who are still reserve tribesmen! After this battle, you will be directly promoted to second-class tribesmen, get 60 acres of land, own your own house, cultivate your own fields, feed your own cattle and sheep, marry a woman you like, raise a bunch of children... You will live a very rich life! "

The newly promulgated twenty-rank system has made fundamental changes to the promotion of military merit. It no longer uses the practice of cutting off the enemy's ears to calculate military merit, but divides military merit into six levels. ：

The first-class merit is a war that destroys a country, a state, or a tribe. The commander who is responsible for commanding the army and winning the war can get the first-class merit, the commanders of the corps who have always participated in the war can get the second-class merit, the captain can get the third-class merit, the centurion can get the fourth-class merit, and the soldier can get the fifth-class merit;

The second-class merit is a key battle that concerns the life and death of the tribe. The commander who wins the victory will get the second-class merit, the corps commander will get the third-class merit, the captain will get the fourth-class merit, the centurion will get the fifth-class merit, and the soldier will get the sixth-class merit;

And so on, the less important the battle is, the lower the merit will be.

An ordinary soldier who participates in an ordinary battle, even if he wins without fighting with the enemy, can also get a sixth-class merit. A sixth-class merit can allow a reserve tribe member to be directly promoted to an ordinary tribe member, but an ordinary tribe member needs three sixth-class merits to be promoted to a second-class tribe member. Of course, a fifth-class merit can also allow an ordinary tribe member to be promoted smoothly.

For ordinary soldiers, the fifth-class merit is almost the highest level they can obtain. Unless they are lucky enough to kill an important enemy general on the battlefield, leading to a quick victory, they may be able to obtain merit beyond their level.

However, it is completely impossible for legion commanders and captains to obtain fifth- and sixth-class merit. The high-level merit they obtain is necessary for advancement to knighthood and above. Fifth- and sixth-class merit are not included in the statistical scope at all, so soldiers After becoming knights, if they want to move up the ranks, they must become officers above a centurion.

Of course, the prerequisite for obtaining military merit is that the battle must be won, which requires both officers and soldiers to work together and try their best to win.

According to the new system of twenty knighthoods, if this upcoming battle, which has been rated as the second level by the Ministry of War, is won, ordinary soldiers should only be able to obtain sixth-level merit. Why did Tinibazus say that they can obtain it? What about fifth-class merit?

Because there are some special provisions in the new twenty-nobility system, for example, the soldiers who ascend first in the siege battle must be promoted to at least one level of merit, and the troops who gain the first chance of victory in the battle will also be promoted to one level of merit... ...This will encourage soldiers to fight bravely and avoid eating from a big pot.

At this moment, as soon as Tinibazus finished speaking, the Skodisci soldiers in the Centurion couldn't help but cheer. After experiencing hardships, they had never expected such a beautiful life, but now it is in front of their eyes. Reachable.

However, Gowes did not cheer like his companions, because he was always thinking of the compatriots who were still suffering in the territory of Segestica.

Although he knew that his promotion was to win by killing his compatriots, Pulisis was still a little moved, because he knew that the good prospects described by Tinybazus were not verbal boasts, but what he saw every day. Because this is how the Knicks people live.

Thinking about the years he lived in the Segostika tribe, he owned less than thirty acres of land and worked hard every year. Although he had some harvest, the nobles were in charge of it and had to levy taxes every autumn. Some food. Later, when the tribe went on war every year, more and more food was levied, and the remaining grain was only enough to make ends meet. For this reason, a few tribesmen refused to turn over any more, and were eventually expelled from the tribe...

In comparison, the Nix people were much happier. They turned in less and left more. Moreover, the tribe not only built some agricultural facilities for them that could promote harvests, but also taught them how to cultivate and harvest better. More food... Thinking of this, Pulisis' mood became very uneasy.

Tinybazus didn't pay attention to the strange expressions of the Segestica soldiers in the team. He continued to shout: "Brothers of the official ethnic groups, you are either second-class people or first-class people. This battle is won. After that, second-class people who already have some merit can be promoted to second-class people with a fifth-class merit, and get another twenty acres of land, which can grow more food and feed more livestock.

If the first-class people want to be promoted again, the credit is not enough, but the leader said that this battle is not only important, but there are far more enemies than us, and the battle situation is very serious, so he decided to offer an additional reward!

If the hundred-man team is the first to break through the enemy's formation or defeat the enemy first, they will each receive a third-class merit. Each of you will receive a fourth-class merit, which is enough to promote everyone to the first level. Some people You can also upgrade several levels in a row! "

Having said this, Tinibazus pointed to the foot of the hill and shouted with great enthusiasm: "Brothers, to us, these Pannonians are land and wealth. No matter how many of them there are, they will only Give us more credit! Next, let us fight bravely, defeat them, and then advance our level and strive to become the nobles of the tribe one day!"

The soldiers cheered and were all extremely excited.

The same is true for other centurions, because the centurions all received the same instructions from the legion commander and used similar words to inspire the soldiers.

The long formation of the Nix army was filled with cheers.

"Look, the leader's method is really good. Now everyone's morale is very high!" Tilius, the young attendant who followed Maximus, couldn't help but admired when he saw this situation.

Tilius was also one of the children of the Lukelia veterans who originally joined Maximus's rebellion.

"Of course, because they all want to advance through meritorious service." The attendant Malclus responded.

"But..." Another attendant, Frisalus, a young slave from Campania, was a little confused: "When I was taking notes at the political hall meeting, I heard Master Volenus say that our tribe still has There is not much land left, but after this battle is won, nearly 10,000 reserve tribesmen will be promoted, and more than 500,000 acres of land will be allocated to them. How can the tribe have so much land now! Give them the land!”
