Kakarott went to class for a week hating every second as he couldn't have a half hour break to fight or train after every hour, it frustrated him beyond reason, he just wanted it to end, hearing the drone of the battle strategist, he knew he had to concentrate, but he was recoding the lecture anyway for when he felt like this disillusioned, frustrated and tired. The Strategist lecturer noticed Kakarott's inattention and asked "Vito what did Alexander the Great do in this particular battle?"
Kakarott at first didn't respond to the name but the Lecturer then looking straight at him asked "Well?"
Kakarott recognising the lecturer was talking to him looked at the black board and the position of the forces on open ground, working out a strategy. Stating" Well from what I see the enemy had chariots and he doesn't, so to win he could of let the chariots go through his army creating corridors, then as the Chariots try to turn, he could have his foot soldiers stab the absolute shit out of the chariot riders. Using them against the enemy when his foot soldiers clash against the enemy flanking the enemy and hitting them really hard from the back in a pincer move."
The lecturer coughed "Well it seems despite NOT paying attention you described almost exactly what he did. Alright, the Strategic analysis of one of histories most successful victories is due today, so hand in your assignment." The bell rang and everyone left handing in their assignment. Kakarott handed his assignment in along side a one ounce gold square solid gold coin that he sluiced and smelted. Looking at the Lecturer he stated "Give me a good grade, and you'll recieve more." Then he left like all the rest.
Spending three months he not only completed the Officers course and thanks to his incentives received straight A+ results for all his assignments, even his Final exam. On the graduation Ceremony the Lecturer told him when Kakarott was presented with a certificate and officers bars at the end of graduation ceremony "It's funny, you would have gotten straight A's for your strategic ideas, however, it was your grammar that lowered it, Just letting you know."
His first assignment as an officer was the front lines, his goal, to take over a village near a road bridge, deemed an important strategic location. Kakarott wanting to try another strategy besides murder everyone friend and foe alike, he sends in the sneakiest soldier of the group, the practical joker of the group, with no armour or anything that jingles like bullets or armour, Kakarott orders the soldiers to give all their knives to the sneakiest. The soldier armed solely with knives sneaked into the village noting locations of soldiers positions, throwing knives killing soldiers who were in the way. Getting back he reported the majority of positions including snipers. Then Kakarott ordered the best shots to get in position to take out the snipers all at once, With the bulk of the twenty man squads plot in two , armed with rifles and grenades they got in position and giving the order the snipers were taken out, the enemy soldiers then sent out soldiers poking their heads out of windows, which were either promptly shot or a grenade flew in their room. They continued firing upon the enemies position while the other half sneaked through the battlefield through the occupied soldiers positions, throwing grenades into the entrenched soldiers positions. When large amounts of howls yelled out in pain, his soldiers then surrounded the wounded soldiers positions yelling. The enemy officer was forced to surrender.
Reporting to his Superior officer, a Captain, he was the only officer to take his section if the Village without any losses and in the shortest time. However the captain congratulated him stating "Good work." Kakarott asked "Well since I was so successful, you should promote me to Captain." The Captain scoffed at the notion " first day and want a promotion, so what you got one victory, big deal." Kakarott's soldiers over heard and were watching. Kakarott grabbed the Captain by the throat and ordered "You will write a letter of recommendation, those other officers suffered at least thirty percent casualties. I Deserve to be Captain, you will do so and I will reward you." Showing him a bar of an ounce of pure gold.
Kakarott "You get this and more, once I'm Captain, and this assault never happened." Gasping for breath the Captain breathed as Kakarott let go. The Captain then wrote and sent a letter of recommendation via encrypted tablet. Kakarott then walked out straight to the Prisoner location and chose a non injured prisoner. "You, if you want to live I have a job for you, see that pompous Captain kill him, I'll give you, a reward once you complete it, don't get caught."
The Prisoner gulped, then after Kakarott left and the guards were told to take a break, the prisoner sneaked and killed the Captain by smashing his head in with a rock, before returning to the holding area that had the guards returned.
Kakarott seeing the prisoner smirked walked up to him and sneakily palmed him a couple of ounces of gold"Now keep your trap shut." He whispered in the ear.
Then not long after a commotion was created when the dead officer was found, people were rushing the area, the Prisoners and soldiers were interrogated for the Captains murder, a poor sod prisoner who spat in the face of the interrogators was dragged before them and executed.
Not long after The Lieutenant in charge of the area at camp after considering the matter dealt with, looked at the battle reports and the recommendations.
Officer Vito was then promoted under Battlefeild promotion rules to Captain, removing the Dead captains bars and handing them to Kakarott.
Now Captain Vito, Kakarott stated "Why not make use of the uninjured prisoners, make them fight for us, if they get treated well there should be no problem, they want to live as much as anyone else, they want to survive this war, probably more than their loyalty to their King."
