In additional let’s set leaderships for every platoon to have male leaders. Vice of every even number platoon will be female. And every second patrol leader is female. Hmm… I could put for all females for a large harem… but it may just become muscle head women… That doesn’t seem heavenly. We can always do more later>

Ryu after determining the troop composition and toying with an all-female army idea that gave him a nightmarish premonition, he moves on to do a final check.

With his final thought, the flash of brilliant white explodes before him.

In a single instance, all his troops are assembled before him.

Ryu is slack jawed as he sees the well assembled group. As he remains in shell shock, a soldier steps out and up to him from the left.

[Commander. All troops reporting, Sir]

A young adolescent voice reports up to Ryu. This voice has a European, boyish feeling. The troopers call, helps Ryu regain himself.

[Ah! Well yes… Welcome troopers. To start off, can you remove you helmet and introduce yourself and also call out the platoon leaders and vices]

[Understood. Sir]

Ryu, slowly backs up and summons a large command tent with modest field furniture. He then walks in a waits for the trooper to gather the appropriate. Just as Ryu takes his seat, a call is heard for outside.

[Commander, permission to enter]

[Yes. Come in]

[All Platoon leaders and Vices are reporting Sir]

Ryu slowly inspects each of the troops that had entered the tent. As all of them had removed their helmets, Ryu now gets a better look of each person.

There are 12 men and 04 women in total. Almost all of them are fairly young. The first person that spoke to Ryu and is leader of the Group is as like his voice suggested a European. By visage, he looks to fit the description of the Aryans of the Germanic myths. He has blond hair and cerulean blue eyes. A perfect European ikemen. Ryu is slightly annoyed. His features and proportions are symmetrical, making him look perfect.

Moving on, others in the groups are of mix heritages. From the groups, Ryu can identify 3 Japanese made of 02 guys and 01 girl, and 5 Chinese with 02 guys and 03 girls. All girls of the groups were of Asian descent. The remaining guys was another German, 02 Russians, 02 Turks and 02 Koreans. A very diverse group. All of them beauties (girls) and ikemen (guys) alike. All seeming between 21 – 30 years old.

As Ryu finishes sizing up the group, a little crestfallen, the German ikemen speaks.

[Commander. My name is Tolech Rudger. I am captain of the second platoon and lieutenant commander of the first combat group. I am 21 years old]

As Ryu was having concerns, Tolech continues his introductions. In summary. Tolech is the youngest but is the most trained and equally experienced to everyone present. Each one had a gleam in their eyes as they spoke up. His name was hard to pronounce, so Ryu named him Tolle which Tolech was happy to receive.

During this all Ryu wondered on his insignificant worries and excessive looked at the girls. In turn they felt Ryu’s gaze as they seemed to become happier.

[With that, that is all for introduction of platoon leaders. Each of the platoons are a mix of the nationalities of its leadership. And the gender ratio within the combat group 2:1 with more men. And in the Logistical teams it is 1:1 on average. Sir. What are your orders]

[Master: Understood. AI recommends that a Fort be constructed. Class 2 Hill Fort would suffice. Additionally, summoning resources and supplies as necessary by platoons into it. Fort should also have sufficient cannon turrets for defence as threat level is unknown for now. Then organizing recon parties into the forest. Operational time should be 3 hours for return movement. A distance of 5 kilometers will suffice for security. Last, clearing of forestation up to 800 meters surrounding forest is suggested. Simultaneously adding obstacles is also recommended]

Ryu quickly gives out the orders to complete AI’s recommendation. He also adds on setting command at the highest point of the fort he will summon. He instructs Tolle to issue corresponding commands to recons patrols. Other platoons are to move into fort and organize the supplies and positioning. Orders for the Engineers were also sent out.

After all commands were issue, everyone including Ryu stepped out of the Tent. Tolle commanded the troops to clear the middle of the meadow. After the troops cleared off to the sides, Ryu then summoned a Class 02 Hill Fort. This was a replica of the Azuchi castle. However, this castle at 2 gates, one to the north and one to the south. Both were massive but inconspicuous from a distance. The walls were 15 meters high and in a pentagon shape. The castle also had cannon point along its wall. The height of the central Tower was higher than the walls but did not top over the surrounding trees. This somehow gave it a big and small feel to Ryu.

Ryu was quite pleased with his fort summoning. Other tasks moved along as the resources were called in as suggested by the combat, logistics and engineering teams.

After collecting the resource, the recon group assembled to moved out. Before they left, Ryu issued one more command to them – RETURN BACK ALIVE. They spread out with each patrol on bearings between 1:00 and 12:00. Ryu also informs them of the existence of demons. By common sense of this world, to should be lower class, however since they are yet to experience them, he informed all of them to maintain caution and retreat back to fort as necessary. This is especially so since they do not have radio communications yet.

After the recon troops spread out Ryu returned to the fort to face the remaining troop. He got onto the balcony of the central tower with Tolle as he addressed the assembled troops.

[Hello everyone. I am Chen Ryu and your summoner and commander. By circumstance we are in another world. I will be needing to rely on your support to live and progress in the world. This not to say that you are servants but comrades. It is important to me that, neither of you are sacrificed. I can replace those who die, but I cannot revive the dead. I want unity amongst us. I hope to be in you care and hope to make our adventures a success]

Ryu spoke, clearly and unflustered. As he was used to things like this from times at the large families of his parents. He gave a slight bow at the end. As he returned upright he watched on as the soldiers gazed back at him in silence.

Then Tolle abruptly steps ahead of Ryu and turns to face him. He then suddenly kneels infront of Ryu, keeping his gaze to the ground. Speaks out aloud.

[We the first Combat group are yours to command. Your words are sincere and profound. We are grateful for your concern and acceptance of us as your comrades. We will do our utmost for you, our Commander. We swear utmost and unquestionable loyalty to you. Please me our commander and lead us to victory]

Just as Tolle spoke up, the rest of the troops knelt in the same fashion. At the end of Tolle’s speech they all yelled.

[We are your Command! Long live Commander Chen Ryu!!]

Ryu was taken aback. But he quickly recovered.

[I have received you. Now stand. Arrange the fort for operation and prepare our defences. Tolle please see me inside]

Ryu was claiming inwardly for the excessive show that was led by Tolle. He was expecting a salute and simple response, but Tolle’s speech blew him. As he returned in silently, Tolle got back up and watched Ryu walk back inside the tower. Then he turned and dismissed the troops as they dispersed off to perform their predetermined tasks.

Tolle had a slight smile on his face. His eyes narrowed with a gleam.

Ryu unaware of Tolle’s thoughts and expression, only felt a slight shiver as premonition as he proceeded inside to the command room.
