Taking the charge
Sam just waited for the deal and for the invasion. He just sat there in his tent or supervised the training. He drank and ate various meals and wines made of different meat and fruits.
He was like a vain lord who is living his vanity to the fullest, except when he was a trainer of course. He showed the soldiers what true training could be. He made it that everything he wants them to learn was drilled into their skull and brain along with the other parts of their bodies.
The training is the closest thing they felt to the torture.
Meanwhile, the army stationed at the edge of the forest that was a few kilometers away was still there and they didn't show any sort of movement and there is no call from the General.
A week passed by just like this. The battles at different fronts and different cities are going on and on at full scale.
