I'm The King Of Technology Chapter 5

He knew he would change the way the knights trained, but he had to start gradually.
In this era, they didn't have any rigorous forms of training like the ones established on earth.
In fact, when he turned 18, he had served his country for two years before settling before he worked as an electrical engineer. He knew more than anyone else the importance of all those military routines.
Since the system would eventually reward him with all knowledge on cannons and gunpowder making, it was safe to assume that he would be making his very own machine guns soon.
Hence, he needed to train the men's reflexes and physical conditions so they could efficiently use guns or any other military weapons.
Although he didn't have any guns presently, it didn't mean he would neglect the benefits from that kind of training.
Those routines helped soldiers build confidence in themselves, their subordinates and their Companions.
It also helped the soldiers improve their leadership skills, develop a sense of belonging, pride, compassion towards others and of course, have a strong body.
What he needed were soldiers who were loyal to him, the people and the kingdom. And not men who did things for merit or money.
He scanned the soldiers thoughtfully, ensuring that he met almost everyone with his eyes. He gave off the aura of a well-accomplished soldier.
"Tomorrow morning before the dawn of day, all knights will assemble at the inner castle for training. This training session will involve new routines, as well as your everyday sword practices.
Those who arrive late will have no breakfast and lunch for the rest of the day. More than 3 Absences without a good reason will result in no food for a day and intense punishment.
Now, DO YOU UNDERSTAND!!"
"Yes, My King"

All the knights immediately yelled back,
"Excellent.....now divide yourselves into three groups. It can be in any order, but each group must contain at least a hundred men."
Once he finished speaking, he walked towards his mother and Lucy.
"Mom, we will need enough food to feed all the knights, our workers and ourselves.
How much do we have?" he asked.
His mom thought for a while: "We brought 3 Wagons filled with wheat, one wagon filled with beans, one wagon filled with peas, one wagon filled barley, rye and oats. And finally, a wagon filled with various seeds needed for farming."
"That's good.
Mom, Lucy... tomorrow morning, could you all make sure that the kitchen makes enough food for all the knights?
I need all the food delivered to the inner courtyard at daybreak every morning." He asked softly. After all, she was his mother, not some soldier in the army, and Lucy was someone he cared about deeply.
Lucy looked at Landon's handsome face and blushed. 'Since when did Brother Landon look so cool and handsome?'
Lucy blushed hard while secretly observing Landon.
On the other hand, Kim looked at her son's handsome face and smiled warmly.
'When did my baby grow up?
He's so cute, acting all tough and manly.' She couldn't help but pinch his cheeks: "My little boy has grown up. Of course I'll do it. This is our home now. whatever you need me to do, just say it."
"Brother Landon, do you even need to ask? I'll do anything you need me to do". Lucy said.
Immediately as she realized what she just said, her blush intensified. Kim noticed and couldn't help giggling. Landon was confused as to why his mum kept giggling.
"Thanks mom, thanks Lucy."

Looking at them, he felt that he was truly blessed. Even though he felt like that, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
'woman, why can't you take me seriously? Although I may look 15, I'm a full-grown man, for heaven's sake!!
Can't you see that this is a serious military moment? You just said I've grown up. Yet, here you are, pinching my cheeks in public?
Huuhhhhh, I give up. luckily no one saw you do it, or else this serious atmosphere would be a joke.'
Once he finished speaking to his mom, he looked around and saw all his soldiers split into three main groups, excluding Commander Lucius. He walked towards them with a stern look on his face.
"Since we have three Knight Captains in our kingdom, all knights will be grouped under these Captains. In turn, all the Knight Captain will answer to Commander Lucius.
Now, Captain Josh!"
Josh stepped out of the crowd and gave a salute.
"My King," he said, still on bended knees.
"You will lead, train and take care of all men in the first group."
"As you wish, my King."
Josh moved towards Lucius, gave him a salute saying "Commander," and walked towards the first group.
When he arrived in front of them, they all shouted
"Captain!!"
Josh then stood in front of them and faced Landon. Landon then continued with allocating the other teams to Mark and Gary, repeating the exact scenarios.
Once everyone looked satisfied with their various groups, they all faced Landon and yelled, "My Lord."
They felt like they genuinely belonged here as compared to when they were in the Capital. No one had ever paid so much attention to them as Landon was doing.
"You all will take each other as family, as each other's brother. You will eat together, work together, grow strong together and build this kingdom together. No Knight will ever be left behind."
They were stunned and equally surprised.
No one would be left behind?...this was the first time that they heard such a phrase. In this world, the strong ruled and the weak perished.
That's just the way things were.
But since most of them were considered weak in the empire, they were very touched by Landon's words.
"For Now, we will inspect the land.
Commander Lucius, what do you think?" Landon asked while looking at Lucius.
"My King, it's an excellent idea. I propose that we all go for the inspection to know how to protect Baymard." Lucius answered immediately.
"I agree.
We need to have a clear understanding of the situation here.
Based on the information we gather, we will be able to appropriately allocate duties and responsibilities to everyone.
For now, let's go look at the land".
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They had to inspect the land A.S.A.P.
Landon looked at them and smiled.
But as he was about to move out with his men, Lucius stopped him with a smile on his face.
"Little Landon, does your cheeks still hurt?"
