White Bear Territory's first military camp was established beside the gravel road south of the Stone Mine.
This had originally been a temporary overnight camp for the road-building serfs, designed to accommodate a thousand people.
With a few repairs, it could serve as a military camp.
It was only five kilometers from White Bear Territory, making it convenient to transport supplies. It also sat on a major route, allowing it to protect future salt and asphalt shipments and even guard against possible unrest among the Wild People.
The fifty newly recruited soldiers had already undergone a full week of training here.
Though they were still somewhat disorderly when forming ranks, they at least had the basic shape of an army.
Lao Wu Andre wore a Longsword at his waist and held a riding crop as he stood before the formation, shouting, "Attention! Salute the Baron!"
The fifty recruits immediately brought their legs together and struck their chests with their right fists. "Loyal! Faithful!"
Lynn stood atop an earthen platform, his gaze sweeping over Lao Wu and the recruits below, a smile on his face.
[Andre ★★] [Command D-][Strength D+][Constitution D][Intelligence E][Administration e-][Charisma E] [Loyalty: 100 (Accepted as a follower)] [Trait One: Training—Has an advantage when training soldiers] [Trait Two: Hot-Tempered—Has an advantage in duels, but intelligence slightly decreases]
Lynn had sent Lao Wu to train the soldiers precisely because he valued his Training trait.
The results were indeed good. Turning a group of illiterates into this in just one week proved that the panel's assessment had not been wrong.
As for the slogan "Loyalty," it had naturally been Lynn's demand.
In this day and age, what was the most important thing in an army?
Loyalty, loyalty, and fucking loyalty.
Lynn wanted to build an army loyal to him
