I Turned Out To Be The King Behind The Scenes

6. Military

Those routines helped Knights build confidence in themselves, their subordinates, and their Companions.

It also helped the Knights improve their leadership skills, develop a sense of belonging, pride, compassion towards others, and of course extremely strong body.

What he needed, were Knights who were loyal to him, the people, and the kingdom. And not men who did things for merit or money.

He didn't want the knights he had like old Arthur's subordinates in the Valencia Kingdom who only cared about merit and money.

Old Arthur also was like that and only cared about merit and money.

"Three days later, in the morning before the dawn of day, all knights will assemble at the inner courtyard for training. These training sessions will involve new routines, as well as your normal sword practices...All those who arrive late will not have breakfast and lunch for the rest of the day. More than 3 Absences without a good reason will result in no food for a day and intense punishment... now... DO YOU UNDERSTAND!!!"

All the knights immediately yelled back,

"Yes, Your Majesty"

"Excellent... Now divide yourselves into three groups. It can be in any order, but each group must contain a hundred men."

After giving it a few minutes. He looked around and saw that all of his Knights were divided into three main groups, excluding Marshall Luca. He walked toward them with a serious expression on his face.

Looking at Arthur's back, Luca knew that Arthur had changed, he wasn't the prince or knight of the Valencian Kingdom from before who only knew how to follow orders and was more concerned with merit and money, he was now the King of the Arazka Kingdom, the True King.

"Since we have three Knight Captain in our kingdom, all knights will be grouped under these Captains. All the Knight Captains will in turn answer to Marshall Luca. Captain Jonathan!"

Jonathan stepped out of the crowd and gave a salute.

"Your Majesty", he said still on bended knees.

"You will lead, train and take care of all men in the first group"

"As you wish, Your Majesty."

Jonathan moved towards Luca, gave him a salute saying, "Marshall" and walked towards the first group.

When he arrived in front of them, they all shouted,

"Captain!!"

Jonathan then stood in front of them and faced Arthur. Arthur then continued with allocating the other teams to Marco and Gerrard, repeating the same scenarios.

Once everyone looked satisfied with their various groups, they all faced Arthur and yelled, "Your Majesty".

They felt like they truly belonged here as compared to when they were in the Capital. No one had ever paid so much attention to them as Arthur was doing.

"You all will take each other as family, as each other brother. You will eat together, work together, grow strong together and build this kingdom together. No one knight will ever be left behind."

They were stunned and equally surprised. no one would be left behind?... This was the first time that they heard such a phrase. In this world, the strong rules and the weak perished. That's just the way things were. But since most of them were considered as weak in the empire, so they were heavily affected and touched by Arthur's words.

"Marshall Luca, what are their duties now?" Arthur asked while looking at Luca.

"For Now we will inspect the city. Your Majesty." Luca immediately answered.

"It's an excellent idea. Let them go to inspect the city, and to find out how to protect Arazka City." Arthur answered.

"I agree. We have to understand the city's current situation, based on the information we get and collect. So that we can share everyone's duties and responsibilities... For now, let's go, we will go to see and observe Arazka City" Luca gave orders to the knights.

Everyone nodded and agrees. Before they left, they saw Sebas come with a large box and saw a lot of strange little "boxes" inside.

"This is a communication tool. You can call it a cell phone. A device that functions like a communication crystal." Arthur said and explained its function.

"How to use this communication tool, Your Majesty?" Luca asked curiously.

"The way to use this thing is like this... When you want to use this tool. First, enter the number of the person you are calling... Second, press the call button and the phone you are calling will ring."

At this moment, the cell phone in Sebas's vest pocket is ringing. Arthur continued,

"Then you pick up the phone, using the green icon to pick up the call... When you're done talking you can either wait for the person to hang up first or you press the red button which means end the call first. Do you understand? So, Marshall Luca, you can easily get and deliver news with this communication tool. I leave the defense of the city to you, Knights."

"Trust us, Your Majesty," Luca replied.

After that, Luca ordered the three captains to distribute cell phones to the knights in his group.

The knights immediately went on patrol and inspected the city, and Arthur returned to his room with Sebas.

After the knights received their phones, Arthur's magic artifacts had been upgraded again. Now his cell phone is at the level of the N series phone, from the famous mobile phone company on Earth.
