>>5801842Once again, you were presented with two tempting choices. Though clearly not a tactician, what Rocks lacked in cunning he made up for in sheer power. On the opposite side, Balbatos looked the type to let nothing get in the way of completing a job, and such folks were good to have in your corner. In the end though, you decide that Rocks and his heavy calvary will be a much more useful addition to the company’s composition. If his skills were good enough for Caspar’s father, the legendary General Leopold von Bergliez, then they were certainly good enough for you.
>“Rocks, I’d like you and the Purple Axe Knights to join us.”“Yes!” Rocks cheers loudly, throwing his arms in the air. “You won’t regret it, boss. You’re about to see what the Purple Axe Knights are made of!”
Balbatos gets up from his seat. With his helmet obscuring his face, it’s impossible to tell how he’s reacting to not being chosen. He spares a glance towards you and Corrine and speaks in that icy tone of his. “How unfortunate. I hope for your sake, that we don’t meet again on the battlefield.”
“Oy! You threatening my Commander?” Rocks shouts angrily, pumping a fist towards Balbatos. “Get your scary ass outta here before I show you the business side of my axe!”
“Well, that takes care of that.” Corrine sighs in exhaustion as the mercenaries leave the room. “With the addition of Eleanor and Rocks, as well as several new hires in the infantry, our numbers have swelled healthily back above 150.”
>“Just in time for the battle in Enbarr.”“Right.” Corrine says. “We’ll have a bit of time before we need to head out. Byleth and the others aren’t here yet after all. We should spend it training and integrating the new troops into the company. We’ll need to make sure we’re at the top of our game. The Hellwings may have lost your brother, but they still have three Aces and a full company. They’ll be itching for blood when we meet.”
>“Well, when it comes to training, we’re probably in the world’s best place for it. We’ll have the rank-and-file whipped into shape in no time.”“They’re not the only ones.” Corrine huffs. “Some of our captains could definitely use a little bit of extra instruction as well. They’re the ones that are often in the thick of things, and where we’re going, we can’t afford to have any slackers. I suggest you pick one of them and train their butt off until it’s time to depart to Enbarr.”
>“Me?!”“Why not? You helped train the Knights of Seiros’ pegasus riders last time didn’t you? You’re a Garreg Mach graduate for goodness’ sake. I’m sure you’ll serve as a fine teacher.”
While you technically did not graduate, Corrine did have a point. The question was, who could benefit from some additional instruction?”
