Becoming an Arms Dealer

With the military reforms in place, Berengar began incorporating the militia and professional army into one cohesive force. The men were made to swear an oath under pain of death and damnation that they would protect the realm from all foreign and domestic enemies while also swearing their allegiance to the Viscounty and its Commander in Chief, which at this point was Berengar.

Afterward, roughly 1000 infantry were transferred into the ranks of the 1st and 2nd Infantry Battalions. By doing this, Berengar ensured that the new and possibly disgruntled troops were alongside those that were already completely loyal to him so that they had no chances of turning on him.
