Chapter 305, Let's see the situation
Lucy Lee Ko Xi was one of the few whose military rank did not diminish during the transition from the Alliance Army to the Star Realm Army sequence, eventually becoming part of the Rage Bear Legion.
For instance, Yan Fangxu was initially promised the position of legion commander, at least holding the rank of brigadier general, but in the end, Galaraldo's interference left him as second-in-command with only the rank of colonel. Compared to his formal rank of major general within the Alliance structure, he had fallen two levels.
Li Kexi, however, fared much better. Originally a colonel in the Alliance, her rank should have dropped to lieutenant colonel during the Star Realm Army grading, just like other division and brigade commanders. However, Gu Hang, as legion commander, quickly pulled her back up to the rank of colonel within the scope of his authority—as legion commander and brigadier general, he had the power to do so.
