On the walls of Alandler City.
The new Double-headed Eagle Banner is fluttering.
The Farmer Soldiers, armored and armed, are led by the Imperial Knights, forming orderly queues while patrolling the city walls and streets.
For now, Losa has no plans to send these Farmer Soldiers back to the fields of Hebron.
They are to undergo a new round of military training in Alandler, even relocating their families to settle down.
Patrol Officer Ulm reported to Losa: "Sir, the wealthy merchants and landowners of Alandler are clamoring to see you and pledge their loyalty to you."
Losa smirked: "They want me to protect their properties."
"Tell them there's no need to pledge allegiance to me, but they must maintain the military supplies of the entire city over the coming period. Should food or water become scarce, I'll send people to take from their homes."
Losa has always held little goodwill toward these local magnates.
