Dawn had Hancock train the soldiers as archers partly out of concern for their safety.
After all, if a major war broke out, archers attacking from the rear would naturally be much safer. Besides, they had not needed to take part in this war in the first place.
But Dawn was reluctant to give up such a formidable force, so he could only compensate them as much as possible in other ways.
After Dawn explained this reason to Hancock, he unexpectedly heard one of Hancock's most famous catchphrases from his previous life:
