Chapter 50: Upgrading Stars for the Army!

They only needed to gradually recover their divine power.
The summoned mortal heroes might not be as powerful as the Greek gods.
However, if they cultivated for a few more years, they might still be able to enter the late-stage of Level 2!
This was simply amazing!
It was a realm that other people could not reach in a hundred years or even a few hundred years.
As long as his generals were upgraded to two-star, they would be able to reach that level in a few years.
He only needed working hard for a few years to be unrivalled among all the empires in the world.
“Eternal Roster, can we upgrade the generals who have been summoned?” Jerry hesitated for a moment and asked.
If the heroes and gods that he had summoned before could not enjoy this treatment, then it would be a huge loss!
The Eternal Roster quickly responded:
[ Yes, Master, as long as they were summoned by the Eternal Roster, whether it is generals, civil officials, or an army, they can gain stars at any time! ]
After hearing this, Jerry nodded his head in satisfaction.
He was always good to his subordinates.
The Greek gods, Alexander, and the others would all gain stars.
If the summoning opportunities were enough for everyone, he’d first promote the gods who had fought on the battlefield.
On the other hand, the gods in charge of weddings, midwifery, plants, and Alexander and the others could wait for a while.
This was because they had not personally fought on the battleground and killed the enemy.
The promotion rule was clear. One star cost one summoning opportunity, and two stars cost ten summoning opportunities.
Although it was quite expensive, it was definitely worth it.
After all, after using ten summoning opportunities, he’d get a guardian general who could reach the late-stage of Level 2 within three years.
One had to know that as the world level increased, people’s individual combat strength became more and more important.
However, Jerry believed that troops were still very important. A civil official’s star promotion should be the same as that of a general.
At this moment, Jerry wondered what it was like for an army promotion.
After a brief reading, Jerry immediately understood.
“This army upgrading looks pretty good too!” Jerry said.
The army could be upgraded by units.
For example, the 300,000 Macedonian phalanx troops were summoned together and thus were counted as one unit.
The 80,000 Spartan heavy infantrymen were one unit, the 50,000 Byzantine armored cavalry were one unit, and the 3,000 ancient Greek phalanxes were one unit.
If Jerry spent 10 summoning opportunities to upgrade his army, the increase of strength would be extremely terrifying.
300,000 Macedonian phalanx soldiers would become an army made up of first class warriors!
Centurions were at the early-to-middle stage of Level 1, while Chiliarchs were at the peak stage of Level 1!
Captains were at the early-stage of two-star, while generals were at the middle-stage of two-star!
This was a direct increase!
The instant the upgrading was completed, the strength of the army would instantly reach this level and wouldn’t change.
In the future, even if the army’s commanders and generals of the middle-stage of two-star died in battle, their heroic souls would remain to be at this level.
Jerry could easily fuse them with anyone to obtain this kind of strength!
That was the strength of the intermediate stage of 2-star ! If no one could reach the late stage of 2-star, then a cultivator at the intermediate stage of a 2-star be invincible!
Any masters at the intermediate stage of 2-star would be either a civilian super warrior or a high-level general within an empire!
This was because cultivators at the late stage of 2-star were usually national guardians and there were very few of them in the world!
Jerry estimated that there were at most ten cultivators at the late stage of Level 2 in a top empire. So cultivators at the intermediate stage of 2-star were already extremely powerful existences.
But Jerry’s army could have lots of cultivators at the intermediate stage of 2-star after upgrading.
“From the looks of it, summoning an army with a large number of people has its benefits!
“There is only one commander-in-chief for the 3,000 ancient Greek phalanx troops.
“Even for the 50,000 Byzantine armored cavalry, there is only one commander-in-chief.
“In contrast, the 300,000 Macedonian Phalanx troops have ten commanders-in-chief.
“After upgrading them, I’ll have ten mid-stage 2-star generals in a minute. How terrifying would that be?”
Jerry sighed and calculated the summoning opportunities he had. It was a total of 120 times.
“Ten times on the Macedonian Phalanx troops to promote them to a 2-star army.
“Ten times on the Ancient Greek phalanx troops to promote them to a a-star army.
“The upgrading of the Byzantine cavalry, the Spartan Heavy Infantry, the Brocade Guards and the Eighteen Arhats will cost forty times!
“In total, it will need 60 summoning opportunities to upgrade all my troops to 2-star.”

Jerry knew it was a lot, but the upgrading was necessary because the army was the foundation of a country’s strength.
If people’s individual combat strength was above that of an empire, then the world would not be called the Empire Era.
Therefore, after the army became stronger, it would definitely give Jerry a pleasant surprise.
And the most crucial thing was that he’d have ten Level 2 masters for the 300,000 Macedonian phalanx troops, ten for the 80,000 spartan heavy infantrymen, one for the 50,000 Byzantine armored cavalry, and one for the 3,000 ancient Greek phalanx troops!
Just the regular army alone could produce 14 mid-stage 2-star generals!
What kind of concept was that?
Don’t forget that according to the Imperial Era’s setting, different from ordinary masters, generals cultivated the battlefield killing aura.
Their killing power was several times greater than other warriors of the same level!
Even a late-stage 2-star cultivator would shiver before the combined strength of 14 mid-stage 2-star generals, right?
And he had Eighteen Arhats!
And he had scouts!
When the Eighteen Arhats were at Level 1, they could kill any early-stage Level 2 general!
Jerry could not imagine how terrifying the Eighteen Arhats would be after they were upgraded to a 2-star army!
And he had 30,000 scouts!
Among them, the small leaders of the scouts all rose to the peak stage of Level 1!
And there were 14 captains for the Brocade Guard!
Above the captains were two investigators, two commanders, and 2 commanders-in-chief!
These six people were all at Level 2 realm, either in the early stage, mid stage or the late stage.
The commanders’ strength was estimated to be between early-stage and middle-stage of Level 2.
As for the commanders-in-chief, they were definitely at the late-stage Level 2!
Therefore, the upgrading was absolutely worth it.
The most frightening thing in the new world was that you’d be targeted by a powerful empire and wiped out by it before you had the time to grow stronger.
Therefore, it was very necessary to upgrade the scout army.
And now, with the help of the scout army, Jerry only needed to upgrade his armies slowly and gain the power to protect himself.
Jerry’s next goal was to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to attack!
