--Because he became the lord of the count rank, he gained the special ability 【Guiding Light of the High King】. The confidence and concentration of the soldiers under his command are increased by 50 percent.


    With this special ability, you should be able to improve the leadership of a limited number of troops in a short period of time.


    However, it is not a good idea to rely only on the special ability.


    The bonus of occupation is added to the original ability. The effect of any bonus for an inexperienced person is small. In this case, if the soldiers are not motivated, even to some extent, the special abilities will fade away.


    So, I decided to organize an SS.


    I also named them the Akaguma-tai (Red Bear Squad), with red cloth wrapped around their arms and armor, and the Shirawashi-tai (White Eagle Squad), a unit with white cloth wrapped around their arms and armor as well.


    This made them special from afar, and made those who were selected for them proud and motivated.


    These two units were first selected from our side, and volunteers were recruited with the proviso that only those who could withstand the rigorous training would be selected. Soldiers were quickly recruited. Everyone has the desire to be special. This is where the idea came in handy.


    --This is just like the black-robed and the red-robed. How interesting.


    The voice of the heart seems to know something similar to this. This is just my original.


    --I see. I see why this High King was chosen as your profession.


    I''ll tell you why. What in the world is the reason?


    --Perhaps, in different worlds, similar thoughts and ideas will emerge. You naturally come up with ideas similar to Oda Nobunaga''s. All of the past and events are not completely the same as Oda Nobunaga''s, but there are some similarities. That is why you got the job you did, Oda Nobunaga. Everything was not a coincidence but an inevitability.


    Indeed, even if you read history books, you will find that there are people who thought similar things in completely different countries.


    However, it is still a mystery how someone who looks like you can become a professional. But it may be awe-inspiring for human beings to try to understand it, since the profession is given by God.


    --You believe in God, don''t you? Don''t believe in God so much that you are swept off your feet or your mind is eaten away. But in this world, that is inevitable to a certain extent.


    Today''s voice of the heart is a bit redundant, but it is a sign that I am in a good mood. Let''s keep it up.


    Now, let''s do the actual training.


    I''ve gathered the Red Bears and the White Eagles.


    They''re all wrapped in the cloth I gave them, and they''re all looking stern. Of course, they don''t look like they''re chastising me, but they''re full of spirit.


    I am famous not only for the Naglad campaign, but also for having taken the head of Viscount Marr. I''m sure that I''ve become the greatest hero in the neighboring provinces. So there is no one here who would underestimate my abilities.


    It feels good to know that the rank of a count is matched by bravery.


    Usually, the higher you get, the less direct combat experience you have.


    It''s natural because you can''t always be on the front lines, but as it escalates, you start to not understand the feelings of the soldiers and make bad decisions on the battlefield.


    In short, if we become too aristocratic, it becomes difficult for us to be a soldier.


    In this respect, I have become stronger after having had a lot of bad experiences on the battlefield. I know the pain and despair of war.


    "Listen, I rose from being the second son of a small lord to defend a fortress, to make a name for myself, to my current position as a count. But it was all so sudden that the training of my soldiers is not up to the level of a count. This is a shame for me and a shame for you."


    I raise my voice in front of the army.


    "So, from this day on, you will learn to move with the grace of a count''s guard. This is not a mere ritual. Your movements will be so smooth that they will terrify the enemy lords and show them that our power is real. Please, I ask you to endure."


    ""Wooooooooooooooooooooooooo!""


    The voice echoes loudly.


    It is refreshing to hear. I am amazed that they have made it this far in such a short time, but there is no time to be overly emotional.


    There will probably come a time in the future when we will have to fight against the forces that control one or two prefectures. If we do not have the power to defeat them, we will be destroyed in the end.


    "Let''s start with the march!　It stands to reason that a soldier of honor parading through the royal city would look stronger than a soldier who walks slowly!"


    I made them practice marching thoroughly. I was convinced it would be our most important weapon when we met with Mineria.


    The other side is a major power. The strength of their army is what they look for.


    However, one cannot tell whether a force is strong or not by its appearance.


    However, it is easy to tell if the movement of the army is well coordinated. A force with such an army almost certainly looks strong.


    And I gave them a hard time once at Fort Naglad. If we can remind them that the outcome is not a coincidence, the talks will surely go in our favor.


    Mostly, Mineria wants to be reassured that this new force of mine is not so bad.


    The messenger threatened to attack us in concert, which in turn means that we can also ally ourselves with Mineria''s neighboring forces.


    We can''t just ignore a force that has gained control of more than half of the counties in a single province in a few years. It must be creepy. Therefore, I would like to think that they are not yet a foe to be feared. It would be even better if we can hold them off in the form of an alliance.


    They won''t go along with our plans so easily. We''d rather use Minelia to make ourselves bigger.


    After a week of continuous training, the SS began to move in a different way.


    They look like the King''s Kingsguard in the heyday of the Kingdom. Naturally, this is partly due to the influence of the special ability [Guidepost of the High King], but it is also largely due to the fact that the soldiers are motivated to begin with.


    I let Raviara watch them.


    "It''s too good to be true. ....... Raviara, it is breathtaking. ......"


    Unexpectedly, Laviala held her mouth and showed her emotion.


    "I''m going to show this to Mineria at the meeting. I''ll show this to Mineria at the meeting, and we''ll see their amazed faces.
