Order.
nIt’s an absolute thing for a military man.

Patrick, who is now a Second Lieutenant, has one platoon of men.
Ten men per platoon, three together, is one company.
Thirty men, plus Patrick and the Transportation Corps (a unit that carried food and supplies and escorted them), ten men made up one company of forty-one.
n“How are we going to wipe this place clean?”
nIt was a meeting with each platoon leader.
n“What do you think, Wayne?”
nLet’s talk to Wayne, who is in charge of one platoon of Patrick’s company.
n“It’s easy to annihilate the monsters, but the problem is the bandits.”
nBandits are robbers who haunt the highways, most often in groups, attacking merchants’ carriages and robbing them of their goods.
nThey kidnap children and women, and kill men. They are so-called outlaws, but according to the order, there are more than fifty bandits in the area, and they rob not only merchants but also the carriages of the nobles these days.
nIn case of the nobles, since it’s for ransom, it seems that they are paying the ransom without reporting it to the country, and if word gets out that they have been kidnapped, the nobleman’s honor cannot be retained.
nThe country finally found out because the Baron’s son, who had no money, was kidnapped and cried to the country.
nThe country tried to capture them by hiding at the ransom location, but they were easily exposed, and later the son’s head was displayed in the park of the royal capital, which shook the country’s reputation.
nSince then, the military has been regularly inspecting the streets, but they still haven’t been able to capture them.
n”I wonder how the army was investigating?”
n“Apparently, they were just patrolling the streets in one company. And reports are coming in that the bandits didn’t come out of fear.”
n“Are they all idiots?”
n“If they knew it was an army, they wouldn’t have come out without something to steal.”
n“If they take the weapons from them, they’ll be traced back to them when they sell it.”
nThen we discussed this and that.
n“Then we’ll go with this plan. Tomorrow is a preparation day, and the day after tomorrow, we’ll leave early in the morning. All of you, get ready!”
nPatrick’s word ended the meeting.
nEach platoon leader began to move.
