Leading Li Baxian and others to the Recruitment Department, they registered, recorded their previous battle merits, determined their military ranks, and received their guard tokens—completing the entire set of processes familiar and swiftly.
The battle merits that the few had previously gained were not much, so all of them only obtained the rank of Major.
This is also the rank that most newcomers at the True Lake Realm entering the provincial guard can receive.
The rank influences the monthly pay significantly. With the rank of Major, the monthly salary is only 10,000 battle merits, incomparable to Lu Ye's rank of Capital Commandant.
The monthly salary for a Capital Commandant is 30,000, and Lu Ye receives double the monthly salary, equating to 60,000 battle merits each month.
This was the condition Qian Wudang negotiated when he appointed him as the team leader.
