Roman's attitude towards the farmers was one of strong suppression.
But his approach to the soldiers was different.
His attitude was one of encouragement and comfort.
Roman never got angry at the soldiers; he only showed concern.
If there were any blame to be assigned, it would fall on the instructors Dick and Jet.
Hence, his prestige in the army was extremely high. In the eyes of those soldiers, he was much more approachable than the cold-faced Jet.
After the pre-battle speech, he thoroughly aroused the army's fighting spirit.
It was different from the winter's end plunder speech.
Last year, the soldiers' loyalty to Roman was incredibly high.
Because they had nothing, all material needs and foundations came from Roman.
But this time, out of the two thousand soldiers, half were conscripted soldiers from Kant Territory—their physical condition was relatively better, making them easier to train into usable soldiers.
