Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2593

Chapter 2593: Ninth Division

"Above Sergeant are Captain, Major, Colonel, and General. However, for most soldiers, Sergeant is the highest rank they can attain. The ranks above it belong to a separate class of military personnel that requires more than just time and merits to reach," Sergeant Mu continued.

"Now let’s talk about the military’s organizational structure. It consists of nine main Divisions, each made up of its own Battalions, Companies, Platoons, and Squads."

"Each Division has its own mission and area of expertise. For example, the First Division is combat-oriented, while the Second Division specializes in support. The Third Division focuses on logistics, and the Fourth Division specializes in intelligence gathering."

"The Fifth through Eighth Divisions follow a similar structure, with the Fifth Division being combat-oriented, the Sixth specializing in support, and so on. In case you weren’t already aware, General Mei commands the First through Fourth Divisions, while General Gu oversees the latter four."

"Even though we’re technically part of the same military, it often feels as though we’re divided into two factions, with both sides constantly competing against each other."

After a brief pause, Sergeant Mu added, "I probably shouldn’t be telling you this, but you’ll all find out eventually, so..."

A soldier suddenly raised their hands.

"What is it?"

"Sergeant, what about the Ninth Division? If General Mei commands the First through Fourth and General Gu oversees the Fifth through Eighth, then who commands the Ninth?"

"That would be the Supreme General, the highest-ranking soldier in the military."

"Who is the Supreme General?"

Sergeant Mu shrugged.

"No clue. Only those in the Ninth Division and the higher-ups know the Supreme General’s identity."

"Then how does one join the Ninth Division?"

"You don’t." Sergeant Mu shook his head. "You can apply to join any Division from the First to the Eighth after your year-long training, but the Ninth Division is by invitation only."

"Is it possible to be rejected by a Division?" Someone then asked.

"Of course, but such cases are rare."

"What happens if you’re rejected from all Divisions?"

"I would like to know too, since it has never happened before."

Some time later—

"Let’s talk about your year-long training, or what we call boot camp. Everyone here—except Corporal Yuan, once again—will be required to partake in training at the end of the classes. During the training, you will be taught how to fight properly, as well as other skills you will require to flourish in the military."

Sergeant Mu proceeded to spend the next two hours talking about the training and what they can expect.

"Alright, that will be all for today’s classes. We will resume class tomorrow at the same time. You are all dismissed."

Sergeant Mu left the classroom immediately after dismissing them, and the soldiers swiftly left, returning to their living quarters since they were still not allowed to roam the military base.

As Yuan followed Sergeant Bing and Sergeant Quang back to his living quarters, he asked them, "When will we learn about the sirens and the reason why everyone has to enter the underground?"

"You won’t learn about that until after boot camp," said Sergeant Quang. "However, since you won’t be participating in that and are already a Corporal, you will learn about it after the ceremony."

"I don’t get it." Yuan suddenly said.
