Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1938: From now on

The events that occurred in the Bronze Camp immediately turned into news and flew to every corner of the Star-Eye Clan.

There was no other way; the death of a Deputy Order Leader was a major event in itself, let alone the one who acted was the newly appointed Order Leader. Simultaneously, a Thousand-Person Commander also died.

This was absolutely a major event that would shock the entire clan!

Even though Ye Zhongming had already established his authority because of this, making all the warriors of the Bronze Camp fear him, still, no one dared to conceal this matter. In about just five minutes, the upper echelons of the Star-Eye Clan all knew the news. In ten minutes, the entire Star-Eye Clan knew.

However, what puzzled those waiting for a response in the Bronze Camp was that after the message was sent out, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. From the Clan Leaders to others, no one gave any response.

This realization led many astute individuals to understand that the newly appointed Bronze Order Leader had received the clan’s full, unconditional support. Not to mention just killing Ka Lan Ka and Leng Jiao; even if he cleaned out all the disobedient people in the Bronze Camp, he wouldn’t receive even the slightest bit of reprimand.

Therefore, when twenty minutes arrived, all the warriors of the Bronze Camp appeared on the training ground.

Really, all of them. Even those on missions all returned.

After all, the missions of the Bronze Mask Warriors were within the clan; they weren’t qualified to undertake external missions yet.

Everyone was assembled, but Ye Zhongming didn’t appear, yet no one dared to be dissatisfied.

The Bronze Warriors gathered together learned about the process of Ka Lan Ka and Leng Jiao’s killings from the various mid-level officers. Facing a new Order Leader who could instantly kill two strong warriors, what was wrong with making you wait?

Half an hour passed, one hour passed, two hours passed. Until almost three hours after the designated assembly time, Ye Zhongming slowly walked out of the command building and stood in front of all the Bronze Mask Warriors.

“Now, those at the level of Hundred-Person Commander and above, report your names to me again.”

Ye Zhongming’s voice came calmly, but to the ears of these Bronze Mask Warriors, it carried an indescribable coldness.

“I am the First Thousand-Person Commander of the Bronze Camp, Zhong Hongke.”

“I am…”

Some people had already introduced themselves a few hours ago, but this time, one could clearly hear that their introductions were more serious.

After about ten minutes, all the principal and deputy positions at the Hundred-Person Commander level and above finished their introductions.

These mid-level officers stood at the very front of the entire team, with Ye Zhongming facing them.

“Good. Then I will now announce some matters. Jie Kui.”

As Ye Zhongming’s voice fell, a figure slowly emerged in front of him.

The entire Bronze Camp was silent.

The position where Jie Kui appeared was interesting. He was two steps away from Ye Zhongming and about five steps away from those mid-level officers.

Five steps was absolutely not far; one could say it was close at hand. But not a single person had detected Jie Kui beforehand; no one noticed when Jie Kui had arrived.

If he launched a sneak attack…

The result might be the same as Ye Zhongming’s sneak attack on Ka Lan Ka.

“From today on, Jie Kui replaces Leng Jiao as the Third Thousand-Person Commander.”

“From today on, all Thousand-Person Commanders enter an assessment period. After the assessment ends, the two most outstanding will be promoted to Deputy Order Leaders.”

A wave of astonishment swept through the ranks below.

This was something that had never happened before.

Due to considerations of balance within a team, both the Order Leader and Deputy Order Leaders were directly appointed by the clan. That is to say, the Order Leader did not have the authority to appoint their own deputies; they at most had the right to suggest.

However, Ye Zhongming now stated that he would select Deputy Order Leaders from among the Thousand-Person Commanders. This was too surprising.

This was, of course, a right Ye Zhongming had obtained from the two Clan Leaders.

Star-Eye clansmen would go all out for the continuation of their race; that went without saying. While striving, they would naturally receive rewards: from an ordinary warrior, to squad leader, then to Hundred-Person Commander, and then Thousand-Person Commander. But at the level of Thousand-Person Commander, the promotion channel became obstructed.

No matter how outstanding their performance, they may not receive due rewards due to considerations of power balance.

And Thousand-Person Commanders usually didn’t have many opportunities to meet the clan’s upper echelons; they also didn’t know what the future held.

Many Thousand-Person Commanders had no choice but to be selected into the higher-level team after reaching a certain level of strength, becoming ordinary warriors.

This was vastly different from becoming a Deputy Order Leader and being able to hold a leadership position for an extended period, thereby gaining the corresponding authority and resources.

Now, Ye Zhongming publicly promised to select two from among the Thousand-Person Commanders to succeed as Deputy Order Leaders. How could this not excite these people!

“From today on, once a Thousand-Person Commander is promoted, the vacant position will be filled through competition by the deputy of that unit and outstanding Hundred-Person Commanders. And the vacancies created after filling will continue to be selected from deputies and the next level down.”

Previously, it only benefited the Thousand-Person Commanders, but now it benefited all members.

Two Thousand-Person Commanders would definitely be promoted, meaning there would inevitably be many position changes in the short term. This was a small-scale wave of promotions.

“From today on, a new squad will be established: the Bronze Assault Camp. This squad will be directly under my command. It will only absorb the most outstanding warriors here. What is the most outstanding warrior? Brave, strong, fearless, loyal, persistent!”

“From today on, the Bronze Assault Camp will be the vanguard of the entire Bronze Camp, its representative. After dismissal, everyone, regardless of current position or rank, can sign up. Then, I will conduct a public selection. The first phase number is tentatively set at one hundred people.”

Ye Zhongming scanned the nearly ten-thousand-strong team below, his voice softening a bit.

“From today on, members who have reached the strength level of the higher-level team can choose not to go. Such individuals will become the newly established position in the Bronze Camp—Camp Battle Instructor. Their treatment will be equivalent to that of a Thousand-Person Commander.”

“From today on, the Bronze Camp will begin to accept some very dangerous missions. People may die at any time. Please write your wills in advance and deposit them with the camp logistics record officer.”

“From today on, everyone’s salary and benefits will increase by ten percent. In case of disability, the pension will increase by fifty percent. In case of death in battle, the pension will double.”

“From today on, a system of elimination of the lowest performers will be implemented. A short-term assessment every ten days, a mid-term assessment every thirty days, and a major assessment every one hundred days. Each assessment will yield corresponding points based on performance. After one major assessment cycle, the last one hundred ranked individuals will be expelled from the team and kept for observation. If they can make significant progress or escape the last one hundred positions in the next major assessment cycle, they will be reinstated and rejoin the team. If they still show no progress and remain at the bottom, they will be cleared out of the Bronze Camp!”

“From today on, three types of honorary medals will be established: Loyalty Grade, Dedication Grade, and Faith Grade, to commend members who have made outstanding contributions in different aspects. The recipients of each type of medal will receive corresponding high rewards.”

“From today on, I, Ye Zhongming, officially become the Bronze Order Leader.”

“From today on, the Bronze Camp… is no longer the Bronze Camp of the past!”
