The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 311 - The End Of The Tour

After old Joey said this, the five people gradually dispersed as they went on to learn about their respective responsibilities in the army.

This little tour they had taken was just for them to get to know the basics and finish their registration. But with that over, each of them went their own way, to the roles they'd already been allocated.

In the final part of the 'tour' through the headquarters, they had already met the administrative division, which had already prepared functions for each of them.

By the time the group had completed registration and received their IDs, their information had already appeared in the army's system. With that, one of the administrative soldiers had already made a schedule for each one of them, following their information and personal preferences.

So, in the meantime that had passed, that had been resolved, and the group discovered their first activities within the army, just before they saw this earlier poster.

To begin with, old Joey, who had already made his preferences clear, had been assigned to work in the border administration sector. Even if he were not a fighter, his cultivation level would make him useful in places like this, where he could solve problems solely through the strength of his cultivation.

Of course, that wouldn't be so significant for now, as there wasn't much difference between his level and that of the soldiers stationed at the border. However, with his Black talent and the same resources as these soldiers, even though Joey was an old man, he could still cultivate a little faster than them.

So, that role seemed to work well for Joey's profile.

There would also be a lot of other Sergeants at the border, so it wouldn't be necessary for him to fight or anything. However, most of these men were formed by just warriors, people who may not have the best strategies or management.

But for someone experienced like Joey, peaceful and who valued actions more administrative than warlike, this would be a good job.

For now, he would be under the leadership of another Sergeant. Still, in the future, he could become the leader of a border post, such as the army's seaside base. Then, Minos could have this old man managing, while other high-level soldiers would play the role of protectors.

After all, the subdivision of future army leaders had not yet been created, and most of these soldiers had only ordinary education before the army.

Anyway, in addition, Joey, like the other four, would have to attend some geopolitics classes for new soldiers. That was intended to make the army's situation clear to these members by discussing potential threats, enemies, plans, army beliefs, etc.

Every soldier needed to know about these matters, so these five would have to participate in these activities.

Other than that, Joey also had some administrative activities at headquarters, where he could use his long experience. After all, he could be considered the oldest person in the Black Plain Army...

As for Barbara, Robin, and Abby, they had also been given a border position. Both of these women were warriors, and they would be most helpful in this location due to their levels.

For now, the borders of Minos' territory were limited to the walls of the Dry City and the army's seaside base. However, as small as it was and therefore easier to control, this was still a matter of prime importance.

The most significant risk to Minos' territory today was the possibility that news of the city's change would leak out to the noble families of the Brown Kingdom. And to reduce that chance, protecting the borders was the best alternative in the local sovereign's view.

Firstly, they ensured that any citizen who leaves the territory of the Dry City was analyzed correctly without leaving any gaps. Second, stopping external threats even before they reach the region protected by the wall.

There was the possibility of merchants passing through the city. However, this was quite rare. In general, merchants from the Brown Kingdom who passed through the Dry City mainly were individuals who only came here when the need arose.

For example, when the local sovereign asked for it, at the request of the local citizens, when there was a need to import items. Apart from that, merchants who passed through the Dry City without prior contact were either small traders with no connections to noble powers or individuals from other states, as Elen was.

Because of this, the people who visited the current Dry City for business or passing through, in addition to being few, were overwhelmingly from other kingdoms in the region and ordinary people. An example of this was the coachman who had brought Peter's family here previously.

Anyway, the army had the job of allowing the entrance of these individuals, considering whether they could cause problems or not in this place. They gave recommendations and collected data from these visitors, increasing local control over visitants.

And with more people in this job, it would become more and more achievable for the local soldiers.

Because of this, these three young women had been assigned to this role. Apart from Abby, who would also have an administrative position, given her education, the other two would not get involved in matters of this nature.

Only the brute strength of warriors from the 5th stage of cultivation, with Black-grade techniques, was what they would provide to the army.

As a result, the two young women would spend most of their working hours on the walls under the orders of other Sergeants. And for Abby, she would have a role somewhat similar to Joey's, participating in the management of these posts.

And halfway through her work, this young woman would be at headquarters, doing administrative activities. Minos knew that despite her being a capable warrior, Abby's strength would be her intelligence. Of course, she could be useful in fights, but there were already plenty of soldiers who could do that.

However, few could genuinely become leaders in the future. But in the case of this young woman with blue hair, she was not only fit for such a role, but she had already received all the necessary education.

In this way, Minos did not intend to waste the Miller family's teaching years. Instead, he wanted to put Abby to prepare the future division of army leaders.

That would not be done overnight. After all, the ruler of the Black Plain would not simply copy what the Miller family did.

Abby would give him pointers on how to do this, but at the end of the day, this matter would have to be in line with his ideas and the potential of the Black Plain Army.

But it was okay that this was done gradually. At the moment, apart from Abby, only the two youths that Minos had brought into the army, Lee and Alison, had the minimum qualifications he required.

Consequently, there was still some time before there was a great need regarding this issue.

Finally, Eda had been assigned to work at headquarters as a protector. She had no right to command for now, but only Minos and Dillian could command this woman, given the level she was at.

After all, Eda could be considered the second strongest person in the Dry City at this point. And with that, her work would not match the routine of border soldiers.

It would also be bizarre if someone with the strength of a Spiritual General near the peak were working as a border guard...

Unless the power behind these people were terrifying, such a thing would never happen. Therefore, such a situation could draw negative attention to the Dry City, something unwanted at the moment.

On the other hand, as Minos usually worked at the government mansion, it would be interesting if the strongest person in the army stayed at headquarters, protecting the place. After all, many valuable items were in that place, and it wasn't good to take chances.

You never know when an enemy might try to enter your territory. As a result, even peak organizations might fail to stop security breaches. And Minos knew it.

In this case, for now, Eda would be the card in the army's sleeve in situations like these if someone managed to circumvent the local security measures.

...

Finally, as the five new Sergeants of Minos' army raced to their roles, it was time for the second part of the selection of new recruits to start!
