As expected we arrived at the camp when the morning began. I gave the soldiers a few hours of sleep and decided to give orders to men who were still here. I called my second in command and prepared to share the order with him. "We will do training. All men will be trained exhaustively. We will be the best Royal Army fort. Divide the troops in four. Two parts will be trained and the other two shall keep the watch. During this week we will not attack. The less prepared will be trained first. And then replace those in guard. Only after training we get back to attack. Let the Ogres think what they want." The man nodded understandingly and while he would separate the men, I took to replenish my energy of a night not sleep. Our training would begin soon.
The snow was falling slowly covering the ground of the clearing with a white sheet. Mentally thanked the Queen for giving me a warm cloak. The boys began to arrive. They were all armor and all marked with a blue spot on their arms. It was the signal that they were not very good at fighting.
"Everything you love, everything all you love will be taken from you if we do not win this war. Fight by your families, fight for our kingdom and fight for your lives."
The posture of some were corrected, and for a moment they seemed more inspired. "The ogres have lost the notion of territory, and we need someone to show it to them. And we'll do that." They were beginning to better understand the purpose of the war. "You will be trained exhaustively over the next three days. And to begin, I want all of you find a way to stop smelling like the Ogres. All to the river, and clean these clothes and these armor. A replacement peace awaits you in the tents. Put on them and come back here. The training starts in an hour. Be ready." Each of the boys came marching toward the tents and then to the river.
"Hey! You girls! Come up here" a group of girls who were strategically together came to me. "You will be trained by me. Do the same as the boys and then come to me. If there are other girls bring them with you, understand?" they did a bowed and withdrew. I took a deep breath, there too much to change.
Its take no longer, everyone was in the clearing again. The armor was shiny, sharp swords and clean clothes. The air was lighter. I commanded the men to start basic training with the boys and asked to my officials to accompany me with my group of girls. The armor were a little wide in them, but over time I'm sure they would fill the space.
Beginning with basic training feet soon after with the sword blows. It took a while to get all catch the movements, but suddenly all were struggling a little better. Women are not stronger, but they are agile. And that was the secret to fighting Ogres. They were big and heavy and we were faster. Each was trained to wield a sword and wield daggers.
We made some wooden life-size dolls of an Ogre and trained to attack them. The male workout was as good as ours. Targeting a little more strength, they were trained to overthrow the Ogres, or distract them while the girl climb and applied the fatal blow.
The first group was trained within three days. They just stood guard, waiting for orders.
The other group trained two days. They were already more prepared, so it was easy.
We set up groups in a single order. A woman, a young soldier and an experienced one. The all plan was simple - to distract the Ogre and kill him. Some men complained, but were silenced after discovering that the plan would work.
As expected, we dominated the edge of the Black Forest, and our deaths were minimal. The forest was the territory of Ogres, so we stopped here, and we would stand guard to limit an attempted of domination again.
And, of course, its take no longer to the general call me again.
I left my men on alert and left for the short trip to the nearest camp.
"It was not a mistake makes you a Commander, my dear. I see that the victory came much faster through your hands. And the spirit of war already existed in you" The General did not bother to get up to greet me. And I knew it was because he was at ease. "Maybe you could deploy it in other camps. We have suffering several deaths in this new attack."
I had no reason to refuse. The only reason to make me want to leave the war was my family, but Mom was dead. A flash of brown eyes went through my eyes, the Queen's eyes. But I had promised to bring victory to the kingdom. And that was a good way to achieve this before get back to her. "I would be honored, Sir." Again the General made a commitment letter for me, and I knew it I would go around the kingdom to train the troops. I grabbed the letter of his hand and took a deep breath. It will be a great mission. "Are you okay Commander?" he asked me quietly, green eyes still shone with tiredness, but wisely. "Yes, Sir. Just evaluating the challenge ahead." He smiled at me and leaned his elbow on the table and leaned down to whisper something. "If I need to indicate an official to replace me, which will be soon, I plan indicates you Knight. Would you accept the weight to become a General?"
I will not deny that my feet trembled a little, and that fear must have passed through my eyes. "Sir, with all due respect, I was just a peasant for some time and I'm only 21 years old..." he laughed aloud, "But it seems that it is you who will bring victory to our kingdom..." he leaned against the chair again. "But I understand it's a big thing. Go back to your mission for now, we will discuss it later." He waved to the output of the tent and I did not deny a reverence before turning. "And Commander… It's war times. Everything is valid and all help should be take." I nodded before leaving. The proposal sounded interesting and once again, my only need was to return to the Queen, but to this I would bring victory. I threw the thoughts aside. I needed to focus on this new mission.
