In the last month of winter, the snowy sunshine increases slightly. My eighth birthday is already over, although I still have some time to celebrate my birthday.

"What do you think, Theo?

Ask Theo, who is in a position to lead the lead army, to confirm the achievements of the three months when the warriors of the Shill were slapped into the way horseback riding ethnic streams treat horses. Theo was seriously looking at how our line was driving and changing direction, and when he spoke, he raised one hand all the time.

"Azir and Calvin's squad would be good. He reacts quickly to the decree, and he has all the horse legs. Gunter's squad is generally fine. But Lennan and Rox are one now. We need to get used to the horses a little bit more."

Lennan, Rox and his crew, wasting their breath in the name, nod at the words. These two squads are full of new entrants into the leadership this spring, and the coarseness still stands out in the treatment of horses compared to other squads. After the apprenticeship soldier period, I started training as a horseman in the fall, so I can't help it.

Either way, that's the end of today's training. I tell the soldier to disperse, and I get off the horse, too.

There came a windy Theo who thought of something there. I have a cloth to wipe my sweat for what I care about. Teo cut out an errand while offering it to me.

"... Dear Hall, I have a suggestion for you"

"Wait a minute. We'd like to propose something to you too."

My voice is covered from the side before I reply. Turning his gaze, Gunter was about to bring Calvin and Azil this way behind him.

"Okay, let's hear both suggestions. Be frank with me."

I will not hesitate to listen to that suggestion or do it and decide which one to prioritize. Theo and Gunter apparently decided on the back and forth just by eye contact, and opened their mouths from Theo.

"I'll tell you what. I think we should just leave the Cardians on horseback."

That's a light suggestion. Perhaps the reason lies in the difference in level of sophistication between horseback soldiers and the other half of the leadership - infantry units.

Because it's a new unit, horseback soldiers have power. Soldiers judged suitable are incorporated into the horseback riding corps with all other abilities, and training is also carried out closely with the Lord (I). After all, the infantry unit, which has been a leftover gathering, continues to decline in proficiency and morale.

In the first place, in Arksia, infantry and horseback riders are different from treatment. Horse riders who beat penetration and mobility and require special training in horse manipulation usually acquire a higher rank than infantry. In the Royal Army, it equates to the Knights, and what they belong to is enough to gain the status of Knights.

"... Gunter is"

"My suggestion is that you make me captain of the infantry unit."

is. I managed to stop the only voice I fell in love with from leaking out of my mouth.

Gunter and Theo stare at each other. That would be so, each other's proposals are bumping into each other head-on as a solution to the same problem.

"Gunter, is that okay?

More surprising than that is the fact that Gunter, who is essentially the captain of the horseback cavalry, is about to throw it down to the infantry unit.

Until now, the leadership has not enacted a fine rank because of the peculiarity that it was the bandits formed from his father's bad government that became its predecessor. As the leader of the leadership, he simply placed a guitar around his head there on his most armful side.

Gunter's words, "Captain, create a hierarchy that has never existed before."

And in doing so, becoming captain of an infantry whose rank is lower than that of a horseman is nothing more than his descent from the top of the leadership.

"Oh. I'll re-slap the infantry. The horseback riders are led by Azir and Calvin. Sometimes the oldest ginseng and the oldest have a lot of trust from soldiers."

A little behind Gunter, the two of you thank me. Azil knew Gunter because he was still a Gunter aide, but an old man named Calvin had never paid much attention to him before. For a soldier - and a former bandit - the atmosphere was quite calm, and when I looked at him, I returned the courtesy.

"So you think those two will be the commanders of the leadership?

The ranks of smaller leaders, all gathered together but less than one division, are simple because of their small numbers. At the apex, I, the lord, fit in, and beneath it are a few commanders of the leadership. There is also a captain under it, and the captain has an assistant. Later there is only a distinction between general soldiers and apprentice soldiers. Although it is now an even more dodgy relationship between me, the provisional leader, the general soldier and the apprentice soldier.

"No, the three of us will serve as captains and commanders."

"No. The roles of commanders and captains are fundamentally different. The commander is the one who gives the instructions, and the captain is the one who takes the instructions and leads the soldiers. I can't let you do this, it's impossible."

I frowned and dismissed the offer immediately. The commander is usually behind the army, and the captain is incompatible with being at the head of the army. In the first place, if the commander stands on the front line and falls into inaction, the chain of command is destroyed. Then there is no point in incorporating a hierarchical system.

I understand your desire to set up a leadership system at this time.

It informs Gunter of the recent notification from the King and the possible deterioration of state relations in connection with it. I'm the same one who wants to prepare for a battle that might come.

Two years and a little more have passed since a decent army base was created. I also know that what was nothing more than an extension of the Bandits began to lead lives under discipline and actually hit the task on my orders to raise awareness as an army.

But the reality is that in order to prepare your body as an army, you are overwhelmingly short of soldiers, experience, and education.

As far as part-time education is concerned, it is the current situation in which one Claudia is hit in parallel with my escort and military paperwork, and I am not entirely on time.

Still looking up at Gunter with all the problems the leadership still had in mind, the proposal should have been completely rejected, but he looked pretty cool. I just said I knew I could say no from the start.

"Then we don't need commanders until we get a little bigger in the army. The three of us will be captains. As always, it would be good for the Hall to command the entire army. There are no more soldiers. Anyway, there's no one but us who can give instructions to the soldiers. Once such a guy is in the leadership, or raised, the commander can set it up."

"... well, plausible"

When a guy like that enters the leadership, there's a lot of power in it. Soon I heard a deputy voice telling Claudia to give her the official Book of Leaders. Around the time I saw Theo after that, he also foresees the idea of integrating the Sir warriors into the leadership. I didn't tell you that yet.

"I don't know what it is, but Gunter's gonna rebuild the infantry, right? Then you didn't need my suggestion."

The fact that I nodded plausibly pulls Theo back, who had listened to the story for the most part. So far Theo is an outsider of the leadership, so this is also a reasonable course of action.

"No, the recommendations themselves are not futile. Thank you, Theomel. Gunter, wait a minute for the formation of the leadership. Think about it"

I don't have enough knowledge to create an organization by myself. Think about it, which means consulting the Earl of Teresia. Gunter also understood, without any particular objection.

By the snowmelt of spring, I want to complete the new system, and then it's time to increase the number of volunteers. Should I apply a little, mainly in the village of Claria, where evil feelings for me are relieving?
