Subjugation Part 1

[Thank you! You all are our pride!!]

Surrounded by the s in…the new recruit couldn't help but to feel his chest heating up

(Yes, I' the people was the pride of a Schwarzer soldier Roku's chest was filled with a sense of accoation h the faeneral Ares was the one who led the troops…it's still his first real battle after all It was so he never had experienced before in his life

A nearby boy called out to Roku

[Ne~ ne~ soldier-sama Tell me, what kind of battle was it?]

[Oh, I wanna ask too Tellto the boy and the other townsfolk nearby, Roku's memory of the battle the other day resurfaced

Also, about that exceedingly ie of their master

I should tell them About the battle that day

Of our lord, Ares Schwarzer, along ho seeonia

(Even now…those tere too a that, Roku unconsciously swept his gaze toward the castle

It was a week before Ares headed out for the subjugation athered for this mission, and most of them were recruits

Schwarzer territory is a mostly secure place and lacked bandit However, this tiether and beca bandits It was an extraordinary amount for Schwarzer territory

[They must be completely annihilated That ways, there won't be any bandit appearing for a while]

As he said so, Ares explained his strategy A surprise attack, followed by total obliteration

[For the sake of the future, we e to everyone]

Ares' purpose was not only to annihilate the bandits…it was also to give actual experience to the recruits

This was his first large-scale battle after a long while, so his forces were initially to be comprised of veteran soldiers However, Ares said:

[The new soldiers iven a proper experience since they'll be the one supporting the Schwarzer in the future]

The plan was drastically changed with that one sentence 100 veteran soldiers were fielded alongside an unbalanced amount of 700 recruits

[Ares-sama The recruits don't seem to have the appetite to eat]

Ares nodded a little to what the captain of the 100 veterans reported

[Well it can't be helped Even if their enemy was bandits, it's the first tih the saentle ser battle, experience will determine life and death Schwarzer territory isthose at the Northern Fortress, the battle experience of our troops is actually quite low]

Sigurd beat Ares in saying that

He said so while reviewing the subjugation battle

Just as Ares' predicted, the ene struck by the surprise attack After that, Ares, along with the 800 soldiers, fought with their life on the line

Ares cut down the bandit leader hiurd followed up, ht, as many lost their lives to his spear

The veterans followed closely behind They toppled the opposition easily ell-coordinated teamwork

The recruits, inspired by the perfor their swords and spears while shouting loudly The real battle was different fro would still experience cold feet

[Don't back down! Young men! ! When hesitation clouds your mind…reme tears, a veteran soldier called out to the several recruits ere still tre in hesitation and fear But these new soldiers still couldn't move their feet

Another veteran added afterward

[If you still don't understand…then take a look at ourthose words, the recruits turned their sights on Ares' back, as riding ahead

That back was still that of a boy's However, that figure, who charged into the eneer than it actually was…

Ares suddenly turned around and roared

[Soldiers of Schwarzer! What was the purpose of your daily training that you all bled for? It's to protect everyone's ho that, a bandit's head flew in to the air

Ares then turned to the recruits once more

[Soldiers of Schwarzer! My band of heroes!! Burn the fire in your heart brightly! And…lend me your power to protect our home!]

And with that, Ares turned around and brandished his sword forward

[All forces, charge!! Show theht of the Schwarzer Soldiers!!]

One of the soldier who previously had lost his will rose up to his feet A new light flickered in his eyes, heat spreading in his chest as if there is a fire burning inside

[All forces…follow me!]

[ [ [ [ [ [OoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!] ] ] ] ] ]

The new recruits shouted loudly The bandits were frightened by the intensity of their voices

It was the soldiers of Schwarzer's victory, anyone could see it already
