45. Does our cavalry train regularly?

Aiwa turned and asked the chamberlain at his side.

"They are a nomadic tribe, living their daily lives on horseback, very swift and fierce, our so called cavalry have only ridden a horse during their training time, which could also be treated as having fun, so how can they overcome them?"

The chamberlain said.

This chamberlain was the one who held the highest expectation in the ex-senior officer's eyes, however, after the attacks by the Tanzyanians intensified, those cruel reprisals made the Hass Empire's frontier people not able to speak of their sufferings.

Therefore, he also didn't fantasize about this Aiwa who came from a General's house in being able to change anything; if only he didn't provoke anything, and then steadily lived his life it was good enough for him.

"Does our cavalry train regularly?"

Aiwa's sight watched the backs of those victors, although they didn't have eyes on their backs, from their leisurely appearance Aiwa could make out that they loathed and made fun with regard to Hass Empire's defenders.

A kind of rage rose within Aiwa's mind.

Aiwa's sight moved away from their backs, looking at the mountains all around, after seeing the valley between these extending mountains, Aiwa concluded that these Tanzyanians were surely infiltrating from within this valley.

"Every path inside the valley could be their attack route, our numbers are also limited, making it is impossible to cover each and every mountain pass.

Moreover our fighting strength is unable to compare to our enemy. Must not see that they are mostly woman, their fighting strength doesn't differ even a bit when compared to a man."

The chamberlain wanted to warn Aiwa: Guarding inside the city walls is the safest, if you are overconfident of our cavalry, then that would be delivering their small life to its end.

"What you want to say is, we can only get plundered by those Tanzyanians?"

Aiwa could make out the actual meaning of his words. His sharp gaze attentively watched the chamberlain at his side.

"Answering the Chief, What I want say is, if we don't want the Tanzyanians to harass us, then it wouldn't be possible by just relying on our current army."

The chamberlain quickly explained.

"Then do you have any good ideas?''

Aiwa kept asking questions.

Actually he didn't have hope that this chamberlain would be able to propose a good idea, if not, the ex-senior officer would have already recommended him to the Hass Empire making his name famous.

"No."

That chamberlain had already realized the general idea; he quickly retreated to the back.

"Transmit an order down.

During this 1 month, nobody is allowed to act blindly without thinking, carefully train all troops, after a month I'm going to conduct a big martial arts competition, giving a heavy reward to the victor!"

A grand plan was brewing inside Aiwa's mind.

At this border town small garrison, an army of almost 2000 men were stationed, among them one-third consisted of the infantry, and cavalry another one-third.

The remaining portions of soldiers were those who were banished here after they violated orders.

In an average persons eyes, these soldiers were only criminals, therefore, the senior officer never looked at them as humans, to fight a battle it was necessary to charge and breakthrough the enemy lines, but to speak of it, there had never been any kind of reward for it.

Thus, when that chamberlain heard the victor would be bestowed a heavy reward by Aiwa, he didn't dare to believe what his ears had heard.

But from Aiwa's tone of speaking, he could feel this was a man who kept his promises!

The contempt he held previously lessened a bit.

Aiwa made some persons plant many scarecrows, to be used as an imaginary enemy to train the soldiers.

The cavalry was trained twice every day, those who had experience were made as the senior officer's trainers.

Once during the day, once during the night, due to Aiwa's promise, the soldiers put out all their energy into training.

Some soldiers still intensely trained while the others rested, because they were thinking of standing out during the competition.

When the soldiers were intensely training, Aiwa often sent a group of soldiers to inspect the situation at every mountain pass.

By a week, he already knew all the regions around Favargo from the inside out, especially the southern mountain pass terrain near Tanzya.

After another week, Aiwa took half of his infantry visiting every mountain pass, making them make grotesquely shaped things from the trees and mountain rocks.

The soldiers all didn't mind this, believing this newly appointed senior officer was an immature child, merely wanted to have fun, however as Aiwa was a swift and decisive man, no one dared to disobey his order.

During the time the soldiers were undergoing every kind of training at Favargo city walls, the Tanzyanians once again plundered the Hass Empire's frontier population, those frontier people could only organize a self-defense organization and resist the Tanzyanians, however they could only run away while fighting the Tanzyanians, without having any other choice.

The reason why the Tanzyanians only fought over their things and never injured a person was that they had strict discipline, during the course of plundering; they only took what was absolutely essential, not allowing anyone to injure a Favargo person's life.

Therefore, each plunder didn't cause any casualties to the staff of Favargo. This was also the reason Hass Empire hadn't sent troops to attack Tanzya.

After half a month of training had passed, the skill of many officers and men made a quantitative leap forwards, their hands started to itch, because the ex-commander was afraid of the soldier's casualties and was met by the Queen's blame, he didn't dare to send troops out, making the soldiers fighting strength decline.

And after Aiwa took the commander post, he began to bitterly train them, making the soldier's secretly scold Aiwa in their hearts, but gradually, after they found their fighting strength increase, their hearts admired this newly appointed senior officer.

As a result of their confidence increasing due to Aiwa, some officer's thought of striving for Aiwa's first class merit.

Hence a hundred man general called Samo led a squadron of troops to loot a Tanzyanian stronghold.

However, they suffered an ambush by Tanzyanians on their way back; Aiwa led some troops to save them, while still suffering more than half casualties and returned.

Aiwa had previously sent an order, without his order, no one was allowed to act blindly without thinking; violators would receive a heavy punishment.

The officer Samo thought this time's attack would increase his deeds, but he didn't expect Aiwa to make him get hit by a rod hundred times, those hits made his flesh lacerated.

Since then, the discipline within the army became more firm, no one dared to hold Aiwa's order as a joke.

But what they don't know is that....
