"Now then, we will begin the military exercise by the Orient Army and the Barka Mercenaries. As this is the first military exercise, we will begin with an explanation. At the signal, the two sides begin their actions and move to a mock battle. We will actually fight, but we will use wooden swords and other weapons to avoid casualties. Those who are attacked will be dismissed from the battlefield immediately as wounded soldiers. The game will end when we judge that there is a gap in strength between the two camps.

"The purpose of these military exercises is to let everyone here see the well-coordinated movements of the Barka Mercenaries. In the new town of Barca, which was newly established last year, we have recruited mercenaries and strengthened our forces. By witnessing the strength of the new Barka Mercenaries in person, you will be able to understand their strength and disciplined fighting style. In addition, for this special occasion, the Barka Mercenaries will be led by Ms. Laura, who is running as a councilor in the next election. Please look forward to her efforts."

Yes, Mr. Banagher. The Barka mercenaries have 500 men. The Orientals have 1,000. That's about twice the difference in strength.
