Lynn rode into the town and shouted, "Maintain order!"
"Anyone with a weapon is an enemy; anyone without one is a civilian. All of you, keep your discipline!"
Since this was their first time taking a town, Lynn still had some concerns. Though they had trained according to advanced methods beforehand, he worried that his army might retain the old armies' bad habits.
Fortunately, they did not.
From the beginning of training, he had built them according to the army in his memories. Though he had recruited people from the old era, it seemed the political commissar system truly was an outstanding legacy of those who came before.
Having won their first battle, the entire army was delighted.
They were even thinking of celebrating.
But Lynn knew that what they did next would determine whether they could truly win.
Lynn immediately gave an order. "Eckley, come here."
"What is it, Grand Commander?"
"Immediately take men and search for slaves. Gather every slave you find and bring them all to the square."
"Also, have Gray lead two battalions, one cavalry company, and two artillery companies to attack Wojino Town. Once they take it, have them stay there overnight. We'll spend the night here."
"Oh, and most importantly, if there are barracks in the town, the soldiers stay in the barracks. If there aren't, they can go to the mayor's administrative building. If that still doesn't work, pitch tents."
"But they are not allowed to disturb civilians or stay in the people's homes."
"Tell the soldiers that if they see civilians in difficulty, taking the initiative to help will count as Military Merit."
"Let Gray handle Wojino Town. We've fought there once already, so he should be familiar with the process. Take two Infantry Battalions, two artillery companies, and one cavalry company."
