The storm is coming, Enfeoffed as Marquis, Enfeoffed as King!

"Level 2."

Lin Yi pondered for a moment.

Participation is inevitable, and this division is exactly what he wants.

In the level 2 battlefield, the rules are the strongest shield, which allows him to maximize his Rule Comprehension and combat experience that are far superior to the same level. He does not need to be constantly wary of Star Vortex level or even stronger beings to suppress him. The most he needs to deal with is the same alien genius.

Lin Yi What I am thinking about now is another thing.

That's something wrong.

Now that I think about it, this border friction with Kunmo Race is very wrong.

This friction escalated too quickly.

In his previous life, he was just a little mercenary struggling at the bottom, with little information. He only wanted to become stronger and save Blue Star, and had a vague perception of the overall situation.

Lin Yi only vaguely remembers that a similar Tiered Battlefield was launched on a large scale. It seemed that it was more than a thousand years later, not long after the next Pan-Spirit Alliance Genius Battle ended, and it directly skipped the regular gradual process, and soon opened the level 4 battlefield. There are rumors about the death of Star Domain level expert.

Now, he has World Derivation level information access, and has supplemented a large amount of once-inaccessible insider information on border history, ethnic relations, and the evolution of conflicts.

Comparing the two, Lin Yi found a conclusion that made his heart sink slightly.

According to the practice of countless years in the past, border friction usually begins on level 1-3 battlefields, limiting the upper limit of conflict to Star Vortex level. This is more like a trial and controllable consumption, falling into the category of "pushing and pushing", and can often last tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

Star Domain level is already the backbone of all forces. It is not easy to cultivate, and he will never be thrown into this kind of meat grinder easily.

But he remembered very clearly that in his previous life, this border friction with Kunmo Race quickly escalated to the level of a border conflict involving the use of Star Domain level's power. This meant that the two sides no longer pushed and shoved, but actually began to "use weapons", breaking a tacit understanding.

What made Lin Yi even more wary was another thing that didn't happen.

About six thousand years after the previous life, shortly after the end of the next Pan-Spirit Alliance Genius Battle, news came that a border conflict broke out with Rift Mantis Race.

This conflict started directly on the level 4 battlefield.

The territories of Rift Mantis Race and Kunmo Race are close together, and they are not very far away from here. At that time, he was already a perfect senior mercenary of Star Core level. He had many more information channels than before, and the information he got was much clearer.

It is said that the first battle of the Level 4 battlefield was extremely brutal.

"It's really the storm is coming."

Lin Yi sighed in his heart.

This series of anomalies is probably not an isolated incident, and there may be a bigger storm brewing behind it.

You definitely can't hide.

Blue Star Civilization has officially stepped into the sea of stars and will inevitably be involved.

The only thing we can do now is to grab time.

Before the civilization is involved in the recruitment order, use every opportunity, especially this relatively "safe" level 2 battlefield, to grow Eastern Edge as soon as possible and make the civilization stronger.

Only by mastering enough power can we win a relatively autonomous battlefield area in the vortex of possible wars in the future, reduce unnecessary losses, and preserve the vitality of civilization.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi looked at Luger and asked a key question first.

"Before making a decision, I would like to ask the general first. When the general invites Eastern Edge to participate in these battles, are you entrusting it to Mercenary Group privately in your own name, or are you entrusting it to the Mercenary Alliance through the Star Realm Army's military merit system and synchronizing it to the Mercenary Alliance?"

This question is crucial because there is a huge difference between the two.

Private entrustment is an ordinary employment relationship, working for Star Crystal, with at most a little favor added.

The designated tasks released to the Mercenary Alliance simultaneously through the military merit system means that Eastern Edge is included in the "Cooperation Mercenary Group" sequence recognized by the Star Realm Army. In addition to the basic task rewards, Points can also obtain valuable military merits.

This is the real hard currency that can be exchanged for scarce resources, technology, and authority that are simply not available to the outside world.

Based on the knowledge Star Realm Army has accumulated over the years, the good things in their redemption list are probably only slightly inferior to Human Race Chamber of Commerce's internal purchase rights.

As far as Lin Yi knows, there are rare training resources like "Cold Ash Star Dust" and "Black Obsidian Abyss Crystal", some limited-level small and medium-sized starships, such as Sharpness-level improved exchange rights, and many technical blueprints for high-tech equipment, etc.

There are even some secret cultivation manuals that are difficult to find in the outside world.

These things are urgently needed to quickly improve personal strength, strengthen East Peak Mercenary Group's overall combat power, and even feed back Silver Moon Blue's civilization and technological level!

Therefore, Lin Yi has made a decision in his mind.

If it was a private commission, he would refuse it outright.

With his near-crushing strength in Level 2 battlefields, there is no shortage of partners for cooperation. There is no need to give this Luger general a free record just for a few Star Crystal and favors.

What he needs is military merit and the qualifications for rapid growth.

You must choose a collaborator who is willing to endorse Eastern Edge and include it in the military list.

When Luger heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This Eastern Edge Commander is indeed a knowledgeable person.

However, Luger is not stupid. There are so many Border Legion. It is rare for such a genius who can kill everyone on the level 2 battlefield to be lucky enough to be encountered by him. Naturally, he has great sincerity in cooperation.

Therefore, Luger said with a smile, "Lin Yi Commander Don't worry, the designated tasks will naturally be released through the military merit system. East Peak Mercenary Group's performance is obvious to all, and he is fully qualified to enter our department's priority cooperation list. The relevant military merit records, settlement and exchange channels will be specially opened for your group."

After getting this exact answer, Lin Yi was convinced.

This is sincere cooperation.

"Okay."

Lin Yi reciprocated the favor and immediately gave Luger a positive reply.

"Thanks to General Luger for his respect, we, East Peak Mercenary Group, accept the invitation."

"Very good! This is a mutually beneficial and wise decision." The smile on Luger's face spread instantly, "As for the specific battlefield rules and regulations, the designated cross-War Zone domain star map, the dedicated encrypted contact channel identification code, as well as the complete military merit redemption list and required merit points, my adjutant will later organize it into a standard information package and hand it over to you."

After reaching an agreement on the most important issues, the atmosphere of the subsequent exchanges was obviously much more relaxed.

Luger leaned back, his posture no longer as tense as before, and he continued, "Now that the cooperation has been confirmed, I can provide some more specific information."

He raised his hand, and a virtual star map appeared on the conference table.

"The currently designated Level 2 battlefields are mainly in two areas: One is "Star Shatter Belt", where the environment is complex and filled with high-speed rock fragments and energy turbulence, which is suitable for small groups of elite troops to intersperse and ambush."

"The second is "Blighted Planet K-11-7". That planet has a thin atmosphere, and its surface is covered with acidic swamps and active silicon-based plants. The environment itself is very deadly. Kunmo Race has established several outposts there."

Luger looked at Lin Yi and reminded, "Kunmo Race is particularly good at taking advantage of the environment in low-level battlefields. The color of their "stalker" unit carapace can change with the environment, and it can also block conventional source energy detection methods, making it extremely difficult to detect."

"In addition, we need to pay special attention to their Ripper Beast. Although they are not an intelligent race, they are enslaved by Kunmo Race. They are fierce and cunning, fearless of death, and charge like a tide. You must be careful when entering for the first time."

Lin Yi listened carefully. Although he knew this information, Luger had good intentions after all. He waited patiently for him to finish speaking before asking a question that he was more concerned about.

"Regarding the supervision mechanism, how to ensure absolute fairness? If the other party uses some means that wanders on the edge of the rules, such as pretending to be cultivated, or using the battlefield environment to create "accidents", will the supervisor intervene?"

In his previous life, Lin Yi was just an ordinary person in Star Core. He was inconspicuous, so he never cared about this kind of problem.

But this time is different. Lin Yi knows very well that once he takes action, he will be extremely eye-catching, so it is necessary to take precautions in advance.

Luger also looked serious after hearing this.

"You can rest assured about this. As long as Star Vortex level and above are detected, the supervisors will immediately intervene and severely punish them."

"As for the hidden cultivation, the supervisors are all strong in World Derivation level. What kind of strength is needed to hide the cultivation from them? Once such a violation of the rules is exposed, even His Majesty will not be able to shoulder this responsibility, so no one dares to challenge this rule head-on."

Then, he paused and added, "As for taking advantage of the environment, this is part of the tactics. It depends on your own strength and vigilance. Military merit is not that easy to win."

Lin Yi means I understand.

Later, he asked about details about military merit records, settlement cycles, and the process of requesting help from the legion in emergencies. Luger gave clear answers one by one.

Half an hour later, Lin Yi and Aurelia stood up and left.

General Luger personally sent them outside Command Center's heavy alloy gate. He did not turn back until their figures disappeared around the corner of the passage. He immediately summoned his adjutant and began to deploy related work.

Returning to North Wind, Lin Yi immediately passed through Xuanji, and through the Pan-Spirit Alliance Virtual Network, connected to Blue Star Commonwealth Headquarters, which was countless light years away and was in the final preparation stage before planetary migration.

The figures of core senior executives such as Li Zhenguo, Zhou Donglai quickly solidified in the virtual conference room.

Lin Yi did not engage in any meaningless greetings, and directly informed the core content of the meeting with Luger, which was about the Tiered Battlefield that "Ash Star Domain" was about to open, its rules, significance, and the most important military merit exchange system and the restricted resources it could provide.

"This means" Lin Yi directly points out the importance of participating in Tiered Battlefield. "In addition to limited commercial purchases and accidental opportunities, we have another stable and huge potential way to obtain advanced resources, key technologies, and even enhance the overall strength of civilization."

Then, Lin Yi's tone became serious.

"But at the same time, East Peak Mercenary Group will officially enter a period of high-intensity and continuous consumption. Personnel, battleships, equipment, supplies. Especially the loss and replacement of personnel must be guaranteed in a timely, high-quality and institutionalized manner. We cannot always rely only on the initial backbone brought out from Blue Star."

Li Zhenguo and others immediately captured the key information in Lin Yi's words.

Zhou Donglai frowned and said in a deep voice, "In other words, we need to immediately establish a stable and sustainable channel for replenishing new blood."

"Furthermore, Frontline officers, as well as all those who may be involved in the rear, must be given strong enough and tangible incentives to make them willingly and even actively fight for this military merit, take risks, and even sacrifice."

"That's right." Lin Yi nodded in agreement.

"Unlike the life and death in the civilization assessment stage, now, we can't just rely on the initial friendship and passion, nor can we rely on simple administrative orders."

"Today, we need a system that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and can operate for a long time. It will indestructibly bind the glory, interests and future of individuals and families with the development, survival and development of our entire civilization in the star sea."

There was a brief silence in the virtual conference room.

Every senior executive is quickly digesting this huge amount of information.

Not long after, Li Zhenguo coughed lightly and said, "I think that for this situation, our Xia Country history, as well as the history of some other countries, has a relatively mature plan that can be used for reference. That is to confer military honors!"

No one was surprised, but there was a low voice of approval.

Because most people, including Lin Yi, immediately thought of this plan.

Li Zhenguo looked around and saw no one objected, so he continued, "I think the time has come. It's time to formally draft and promulgate <Silver Blue Pioneer Decree>, and establish the "military honors and titles" system in legal form as its core pillar."

Then, he looked at Lin Yi and asked, "Does the commander have any specific ideas about the title system?"

Lin Yi already had a clue in his mind, and he directly suggested, "I think we can combine the ancient systems of Qin and Han Dynasties to establish twenty levels of military merit titles, starting from the lowest "Gongshi" and "Shangzao", to "Guannei Marquis" and "Chehou", and above them, set up royal titles. Those who have made meritorious services, regardless of origin, will be awarded titles according to their merits. Those who have outstanding merits and whose merits are enough to convince the public can be made marquis or even king!"

At the same time, Lin Yi throws out the core temptation.

"Anyone who obtains a title will not only enjoy the corresponding honor, social status and quota of resources, but when we Silver Blue Civilization acquires a new life planet or Resource Star in the future, we will be granted a certain proportion of tax revenue as food based on the title."

"In this way, the glory and interests of those who have made meritorious deeds will be truly bound to the territory developed by civilization."

"Marquis, king" Li Zhenguo took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Twenty ranks of nobility, up to the Marquis of Che, and the nobility of the king. The land and food are good! The spirit is magnificent enough to inspire hundreds of millions of soldiers and civilians to open up the eternal foundation of the star sea."

"We will work with the cultural, legal, and military departments in this direction to refine the system and strive to issue a detailed plan within three days."

Then, the meeting discussed specific matters regarding new blood supplementation.

Lin Yi proposed to purchase five "Taurus" class medium-sized transport ships, establish a ten-year rotation system, and suggested that the rear establish a complete system from selection, basic training to adaptive training.

Senior officials unanimously agreed and decided to make the purchase and modification of the first batch of transport ships the highest priority.

After the communication ended, the entire Blue Star high-level staff was like a wound machine, running efficiently.

A few days later, when the cooperation agreement between East Peak Mercenary Group and Star Realm Army Border 93778th Legion was officially finalized, and Blue Star Community's internal plan for the "twenty-level military merit system" was officially released, these two blockbuster news immediately caused a huge response within Silver Blue Civilization.

Sharpness III assault ship.

"Twenty-level nobility? Marquis Che, and also royal nobility?! Fiefdom and food court?!"

Chen Yu's eyes widened, and he slapped his thigh suddenly, "Brothers, do you hear? It's not just resources, it's fiefdom! It's a tax share that can be passed down to the family on the future planet! If I become a "Chehou" in the future, you will all be the founders of my country. Uh, no, you are the pioneers!"

"Chehou? You really dare to think about it!"

A team member next to him laughed and scolded, but his eyes were extremely fiery, "I will be satisfied if I can be a "Bu Geng" or a "Doctor", find a small place, practice peacefully, and cultivate future generations."

"With this military merit title, and the good things in the military merit exchange system. In this level 2 battlefield, I have to kill a few more bugs with all my life, and earn a "superior" first!" Another team member is gearing up, with high fighting spirit.

The morale of the entire Eastern Edge has been raised to an unprecedented height, and they are full of desire for the upcoming Tiered Battlefield.

And inside Silver Blue Star.

"Twenty-level military meritorious service, fiefdom and food, this is a reproduction of the ancient system of Qin and Han Dynasties, as a reward for unparalleled achievements! Civilization must make up its mind to open up the sea of stars at all costs!"

An old professor who studied history made his beard tremble with excitement and repeatedly rubbed the data pad in his hand, as if there were ancient laws engraved on it.

"Opportunity. This is a great opportunity for our family to rise."

Within a family with a long heritage, the head of the family held an emergency meeting, "Immediately select the most promising children in the family, concentrate all resources on training, and be sure to stand out in the next batch of selections to Eastern Edge."

"Become a Marquis in the Sea of Stars and shine brightly on your doorstep, right now!"

This news made countless young people eager to change their destiny and make achievements in their careers excited. Long queues suddenly formed at the registration desks of various Yuanwu training halls and interstellar survival training centers.

Meanwhile, Xina Family.

"The system of conferring nobility for military merit. The fiefdom of twenty-first-class nobility is very ancient, but it is extremely expansionary."

A Spirit Race elder commented, with a hint of complexity flashing in her eyes, "The ambition, determination and background of the ally chosen by Lord Aurelia seem to far exceed our initial expectations. They seem to be very enthusiastic about this kind of pioneering matter."

"Perhaps we, Xina Family, can also find our new position and opportunities from their high-spirited pioneering wave."
