Chapter 34 Departure
The roster had been sent to Revodan. While waiting for the dispatch orders, the Wolf Town's hundred-man troop began conducting some routine training.
The subjects included formation, weapon use, and marching.
Winters didn't expect to turn farmers into qualified soldiers in just a few days. But even auxiliaries needed to understand discipline and obedience to survive in the army.
This was a typical rural troop, and in its organization, Winters had made sure that the militiamen in each ten-man squad were all from the same village.
Because not long ago, when there had been a beast infestation, the young and strong men of Wolf Town had all participated in the hunting teams.
So, who was capable and diligent, who was honest and reliable, who spoke in a way that fellow villagers were willing to listen to... after the ordeal of the beast infestation, Winters had a good understanding of these matters.
