A fervor had recently swept through everyone in Qimo Fortress, from the officers to the common soldiers.
The army radiated a newfound vitality, like that of spring—a level of energy unimaginable for an army composed of peasants.
Robson's military reforms had sent shockwaves through the entire officer corps of the fortress.
Initially, many of the nobles had resisted the idea of commoner officers. While Robson had appointed many commoners to officer positions before, those were essentially temporary appointments that carried no official standing.
Now, it was clear Robson intended to make these appointments official.
The only positions left for the nobles were the handful of corps commander roles.
Unfortunately for them, their objections were useless.
The entire army was firmly in Robson's grasp. With logistics handled by Viscount Fuman and Robson himself, it was effectively Robson's private army, leaving the other nobles with no say in the matter.
