"Why is this?" Ye Chen looked at Captain Yuan in front of him and asked with a surprised expression.
Captain Yuan grinned and said: "Because soon, our Ministry of War will select a group of captains again. There are generally two methods for this selection. One is to let low-ranking sergeants compete with each other to choose the strongest among them.
The second is to select strong warriors from among the new sergeants like you, directly grant them the rank of captain, and let them lead a small team to go out to fight."
"So, if you want to obtain a military rank as soon as possible, it is the wisest choice to stay here and participate in the captain selection. After all, even if you rush to the Western Region now, it is not known whether you can make military exploits immediately."
"There is such a thing. It seems that I am lucky." Ye Chen's eyes lit up and he began to ask Captain Yuan about the selection of the captain.
Captain Yuan didn't hide anything, he just told the story in general.
As he said before, the Ministry of War always adopts these two methods to select new captains.
The first method is to take care of the senior sergeants in the Ministry of War.
The second method is purely to select capable warriors.
Within the Ministry of War, the only warriors who are eligible to directly run for captain are the veteran warriors and the only talented warriors who have newly joined the inner camp of the Ministry of War.
These talented warriors have extraordinary strength. If they join the Ministry of War, they will soon rise to prominence.
Therefore, instead of letting these talented warriors waste time outside for the sake of a captain's rank, it is better to give them military ranks as soon as possible and let them integrate into the Ministry of War as soon as possible and play a greater role for the Ministry of War.
Of course, becoming the captain of the military department is not that simple. You still need to compete among countless people.
Just like what Ye Chen encountered this time, the Ministry of War only gave out six captain spots, four of which were selected from countless ordinary sergeants using the first method.
There are only two spots for captains selected using the second method.
Due to the recent rebellion of the Winged Clan in the Western Region, the number of warriors joining the military department can almost be described as a surge.
This makes the difficulty of running for captain this time many times greater than before.
"Ye Chen, I probably know your strength. With your strength, let alone a captain, it is more than enough to become a general of the Ministry of War. However, running for captain is not just a test of the individual strength of a warrior, so if you want
If you want to participate in the captain election, you must be careful in everything." Captain Yuan warned Ye Chen a few words, then turned and left.
Ye Chen squinted his eyes and stood there thinking for a moment before leaving.
In this election for captain, Ye Chen is bound to win.
…
On the second day, Ye Chen, who had already put on the military armor, stepped into the military headquarters again.
Every warrior who joins the Ministry of War can receive special armor and artifact weapons from the Ministry of War. Those with higher grades can even receive divine beast mounts directly from the Ministry of War.
I think back then, Ye Chen suffered a lot in the Yuanshi Sect for a mythical beast mount.
But this kind of strategic resource is simply a waste to the Ministry of War.
According to the rules, of course Ye Chen also received a set of military uniforms.
Of course, you don't need to wear these attires in normal times, but once the Ministry of War takes action, or when performing the tasks of the Ministry of War, you must wear this attire to let outsiders know that you are a member of the Ministry of War.
"There are a lot of people." As soon as he stepped into the Ministry of War, Ye Chen discovered that there were countless warriors like him wearing the armor of the Ministry of War.
However, these warriors seemed to be distinct from each other. Most of them gathered together and muttered to each other.
A small number of other warriors stood aside with indifferent expressions, barely communicating with each other.
After glancing around, Ye Chen naturally walked towards the indifferent warriors, chose a place beside them and stood down.
In this situation, it is easy to see that the many warriors are all senior sergeants of the Ministry of War, so most of them have some friendship with each other.
On Ye Chen's side, there were all new sergeants who had joined the military department. They had almost no acquaintance with each other. They were about to become captains, so of course they were not in the mood to pay attention to other people now.
About half an hour later, two military generals appeared in front of everyone.
"All senior sergeants, follow me."
"Any sergeant who has joined the Ministry of War for less than a month, follow me this way."
The two generals led Ye Chen and others in two directions.
On one side, there are various competition arenas.
The other side is still unknown.
No one knows what method the Ministry of War will use to elect a new captain.
There are not many opportunities to win the rank of captain through election. Even the Ministry of War often sets up different election methods, so even if someone wants to cheat, it is completely impossible.
Ye Chen and a group of new sergeants who had joined the inner camp of the Ministry of War followed the general of the Ministry of War into another hall.
In the center of this hall, there is a picture scroll suspended in the air, but there is nothing else.
"This is the Yanbo Mountains and Rivers Map. You can separate part of your soul power and enter it. As for how to run for captain, you will naturally know it after your souls enter the Mountains and Rivers Map." The general of the Ministry of War led everyone to the main hall.
In front of the scroll in the center, he turned around and glanced at the crowd.
Immediately, some people couldn't wait to part with some of their soul power and entered the Mountains and Rivers Map.
At this time, the earlier you sense the method of running for captain, the more advantageous it will be.
Ye Chen raised his head and stared at the picture of misty mountains and rivers. On the surface, this picture of mountains and rivers was just an ordinary picture, with no clues at all.
However, as the soul power of each sergeant merged, some hazy figures gradually appeared in the scroll.
"It seems that the key to running for captain lies within this scroll." Part of Ye Chen's soul power suddenly flew out and began to merge into the scroll.
This picture scroll is obviously an illusory world.
Even on the first floor, treasures like the Yin Yang Baoyu can be easily obtained. With the Ministry of War's background, it is naturally not difficult to create a similar picture.
This part of Ye Chen's soul power quickly condensed in the scroll world.
And the place where he gathered his figure was surprisingly in a military camp.
"Captain, the general is calling us. Let's hurry over for the battle." Just after he appeared here, a strange voice rang in Ye Chen's ears.
Immediately afterwards, a soldier with a serious face hurried over from the side.
"In this illusory world, we are directly allowed to become captains to test whether we have the qualifications to be captains of the army? It is indeed interesting." Ye Chen said a few words and then strode out.
The military camp here is very much in the style of a military department. The general's tent is located in the center of the military camp.
When Ye Chen strode into the general's camp, dozens of captains were already waiting inside the general's camp.
And these captains, judging by their appearance, are almost all sergeants who have taken the military captain examination.
A group of people appeared here at the same time. They just glanced at each other and then fell silent, with no intention of talking at all.
