Was he supposed to tell his father that these infantrymen were the remaining scumbags of the cavalry and had been idle for ten years, while he had only trained them for a month or two? Any reason was useless. It was because the soldiers he trained had sent them to guard the city gate, but they had actually opened it by themselves in a ridiculous manner. This had even caused the elite archers on the city walls and battlements to risk their lives to stop the other party from bombarding the city gate. It had become a joke.
He had originally planned to let them play a role. After all, in the city gates, all he had to do was hold the city gate open with all their might as long as he could stall for more time. It would be even better if he could stall until the other upper-class noble families of South County arrived.
