Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice

As they approached the military camp, they could see a group of soldiers clad in gleaming silver armor, vigorously training with Gae Bolg.

The soldiers let out thunderous shouts and infused their weapons with powerful bursts of magical energy, swinging them with all their might.

"Boom boom boom boom -!"

Their strikes were so forceful that the ground beneath them began to tremble and crack open.

All one thousand soldiers in the unit had been bestowed with the skills of Mana Burst, Battle Continuation, and Instinct by none other than Shirou himself.

Despite the arduous and exhausting nature of his task, Shirou persevered in meticulously polishing the weapons and armor of his soldiers, while imparting them with valuable skills.

These one thousand soldiers were a testament to his unwavering dedication and selflessness.

With the kingdom now having achieved self-sufficiency, Shirou's army had grown to three thousand well-trained regular soldiers. Each soldier was equipped with a Gae Bolg, but not all had the benefit of complete armor and innate skills.

As Lamorak supervised the training of the spearmen, he caught sight of Shirou and immediately called for a halt.

The soldiers were overjoyed to see their beloved king, their faces lighting up with excitement.

Lamorak turned to the soldiers and asked, "What is the essence of our spirit, soldiers?"

Without hesitation, the soldiers shouted back in unison, their voices ringing with conviction, "Love for country, compassion, honor, bravery, sacrifice, humility, justice, and honesty!" Their unwavering commitment to these values was evident in the determination etched on their faces and the unwavering faith shining in their eyes.

A smile spread across Shirou's face as he gazed upon his loyal soldiers. "Is the training too difficult?" he inquired, his voice warm and encouraging.

With a sense of pride, the soldiers responded in unison, their voices ringing with excitement, "No, not at all!"

Their enthusiasm was contagious, and their loud and thunderous shouts echoed throughout the camp, reverberating through the very heavens and earth.

He smiled, "Then keep pushing yourselves even harder, my brave soldiers. Our glory and honor are intertwined!"

The soldiers were now even more motivated in their training, their energy and enthusiasm palpable. Even the clouds above seemed to tremble with the intensity of their spirit.

After spending some time chatting and catching up with the soldiers in the military camp and the knights, he bid them farewell and departed.

He turned to Agravain and asked, "How many soldiers do we have in our regular army?"

"Currently, we have a total of 3672 soldiers."

Shirou's expression turned serious as he pondered this number. "Three thousand soldiers are not enough. Our food supplies can sustain an army twice as large."

Agravain expressed his concern, "Our total population is approximately 67,000. If we were to expand our army, it would be challenging to manage other aspects, particularly considering our plan to construct roads to connect with other territories..."

"I see your point. What I meant was, do we have any nearby mercenary groups that we can hire?"

"Ah, I see what you're getting at. Yes, there are about sixteen mercenary groups in Ireland and Gaul, with varying sizes ranging from twenty to several hundred people," Agravain's eyes brightened as he understood. He licked his lips in anticipation.
