Chapter 102: Barracks Construction and Troop Training

On the eastern side of Selva, in the bustling logging site where young men swung their axes to fell the trees amidst creaking roars, Mr. Brian Sr. scanned his surroundings before turning to look at Leon and the others.

"Lord, how many soldiers do you need the barracks to accommodate for long-term garrisoning and training?"

"...Although I can only sustain a standing force of thirty men at the moment, I foresee that we will need to accommodate at least two hundred elite soldiers for daily living and training." After estimating in his mind, Leon gave the old blacksmith a relatively redundant number.

Mr. Brian Sr., knowing that the young knight before him might soon be granted a higher title, was not surprised that the future would require the power to independently command and lead an army.

Lifting his slightly limping step, Brian headed towards the direction of the river.
