Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 811: Chapter 319: Military Merit and Bestowal of Titles, Hearts Stirred

”Bestowing a title is a reward for those with outstanding merit. What is outstanding merit? Charging into battle and defeating enemies, expanding territories, punishing the wicked and eliminating evil, protecting the land and ensuring the safety of the people, managing a region... Anyone who achieves great feats for the camp has the opportunity to be granted a title!

And as one’s personal achievements continue to grow, the title can climb from the lowest Xuanling to the highest Zhunbo.

Whether one can be granted a title depends on their personal merits.

Because many merits are difficult to quantify, in most cases, whether an individual qualifies for a title will be discussed and deliberated by Minister Xia Chuan in conjunction with the Directors of the Six Departments, with the final decision made by me.

However, there are also straightforward and easily quantifiable standards, such as military merit.

Next, let me focus on discussing the standards for granting titles based on military merit!”

Upon hearing this, everyone became spirited, raising their ears and listening attentively.

”To be granted the lowest Xuanling title, one’s personal destruction of enemies on the battlefield must reach 500. Of course, it’s not just any random 500 people; they must be real enemy troops like the Longyou Army or the Blood Guard Army.

Considering different battlefield situations, 10 ordinary Earth-digging Realm can count as one real enemy troop, and Cold Resistance Level enemy generals can count as 100 enemy troops.”

Whoosh......

Xia Hong’s words immediately stirred a massive uproar in the grand hall.

”Killing 500 enemies, and they all have to be soldiers like those in the Longyou Army or Blood Guard Army?”

”How is that possible? The entire Longyou has only about 5000 enemy troops. If we strictly calculate, wouldn’t at most 10 people be eligible for the Ninth-rank Xuanling Viscount?”

”Isn’t there still Cold Resistance Level? Wouldn’t 5 Cold Resistance Levels do?”

”Sounds easy when you say it. Think carefully, during the Longyou battle from April to July, how many Cold Resistance Level enemies did our Great Xia kill?”

”Well, it seems only the Minister and the Director, along with a few others.”

”The military title granting condition is indeed a bit too harsh.”

.........

”It has to be harsh. Otherwise, if just anyone can be granted a title, what’s the point of having this Ninth-rank title system?”

Xia Hong interrupted everyone’s discussions and continued: ”Starting from the Ninth-rank Xuanling Viscount, for each rank higher, the enemy destruction number requirement doubles; in other words, Chixiao requires destroying 1000 enemies, Qingming requires destroying 2000, and to reach the highest Zhunbo, destroying 128000 enemies is necessary...”

What a unfamiliar number, one hundred and twenty-eight thousand enemies!

Can you find a camp in Ice Abyss that has such a large army?

Xia Hong did not look at the faces filled with incredulity, but continued to speak:

”This is purely military merit granting titles. As I said earlier, not only going into battle to kill enemies, expanding territories, punishing the wicked and eliminating evil, protecting the land and ensuring the safety of the people, managing a region... as long as there are enough contributions to the camp, one has the qualification for a title, but I want to preset a premise, any title grantee must have military merit. If the title is granted due to other merits, the military merit must reach at least one-third of the war merit required for the corresponding title.”

This is perfectly understandable. For instance, if your merit in managing a region is great, merely gaining the recognition of Xia Chuan and the Directors of the Six Departments is not enough; the military merit of enemy destruction must be at least 166 for you to truly qualify for the Ninth-rank Xuanling Viscount.

Obviously, Xia Hong deliberately amplifies the importance of military merit.

After thinking for a moment, everyone immediately understood.

”Next, let’s talk about what benefits you care about most from being granted a title!”

Upon hearing this, everyone was truly attentive with all ears.

Since it’s so difficult to be granted a title, the corresponding treatment surely will not be poor.

Just not knowing the specifics, they all listened intently.
