Jack had asked Captain Max this and he asked Jack to ask Robert who knew more about the animal attack situation on the Royal Road, Jack needed to know how deep in the forest the animals were.
After all, if Jack wanted to hunt wild animals with a group of soldiers to kill some wild animals that were killing soldiers, he had to know how far off the road he had to go to kill those animals.
Depending on the distance he had to walk in the forest to hunt Jack he had to gather more soldiers, after all, Jack knew that soldiers were not as skilled as hunters were normally, so it would be difficult for them to go with a small group of soldiers as he normally did with hunters.
Not to mention that the soldiers had no experience of walking in the forest or fighting animals, they also had no experience of surviving in the forest, so Jack had to know how difficult it would be to kill wild animals to take more soldiers for this.
"So you think that the group I form will have to go too far from the Royal Road to look for wild animals? I ask this because depending on how far my group has to go deep into the forest, we will have to take more soldiers to ensure our survival."
"But if I take a lot of soldiers and it is not so necessary it is also dangerous, after all, I will not be able to protect many soldiers in the forest."
"I understand, Jack, I think you are going to have to form a large group of soldiers because you have to hunt many animals that can attack the road to keep the other soldiers safer."
"Okay, Robert, I'm going to need your help to warn the soldiers that I'm going to have to form a group to go into the forest to hunt wild animals, with you saying that to them, it could be that someone wanted to volunteer."
"I'm going to talk to the soldiers, Jack, but wait a few days for the soldiers who come with you to adapt here on the Royal road."
Jack agreed with Robert that they should wait, they would have 4 months to do this big hunt anyway, in this big building King Ricardo had sent several weapons to the soldiers, they had swords, bows, spears, and maces.
Of course, most soldiers used swords or bows, but there were some soldiers who discovered a great talent for using other types of weapons and these soldiers were very strong and could help the kingdom a lot when war broke out.
After all, no matter how skilled a soldier was, he could not kill a knight using his sword, which is why archers and soldiers who used other types of weapons were so important.
Jack took a bow and quiver with many arrows and took it close to the straw bed in which he would sleep, Jack took the bag he brought with clothes and pepper bombs and put it on his bed to warn that this bed was his.
So Jack decided to walk a little and went to where the defense tower was being built, getting there Jack sat on the ground against a tree and started to think about what had happened in the last few years.
Jack missed his father who lived with him all his life, Jack missed the village and Ron and Mark, it was times that he was happy and didn't know it, even though Jack was treated well by his other soldiers and even by Captain Max and Robert, it was a place where he needed to fight to live.
Jack missed the times when he worked as a blacksmith's assistant with his father, Jack always liked to fight because he lived in safety and Tim gave everything he ever needed, but if Jack could he would change the right arm he uses to sword to have everything he lost back.
A few days went by and Robert told the other soldiers about Captain Max's orders for Jack to lead a group of soldiers to go into the forest to kill some wild animals to make the Royal Road safer.
The soldiers thought it was good for the wild animals that threatened them to be hunted, but they did not like that it would have to be them that would hunt these wild animals in the forest that was more dangerous than the Royal road.
Some soldiers who were more courageous wanted to participate in this great hunt, the soldiers who had seen Jack training in the defense tower knew of his skill using his bow and sword and trusted that he would help them survive.
But the older and more ambitious soldiers did not like to know that Jack was going to lead a group to go into the forest, they respected Robert very much, who had a leadership position after staying many years as a common soldier and he was making a sacrifice staying years on the Royal road while other soldiers could return to the capital after 4 months.
But Jack was a prisoner a few months ago, they thought it was unfair for Jack to be able to lead a group before they had that opportunity after spending several years in the army.
They understood that Jack had been chosen to lead this hunt because he had been a hunter before being arrested, but the envy they felt left them unable to think what the truth was.
"Good morning everyone, I am Private Jack, I was ordered by Captain Max to come to the Royal Road to lead a group of courageous soldiers to kill the wild animals that have been killing several of our comrades in recent months."
"I need soldiers who are brave and have confidence in their abilities, you need to have confidence that you can defend yourself and survive in the forest and know how to use your sword well to kill wild animals."
"After the volunteer soldiers appear, I will speak to Robert to choose the most skilled and courageous soldiers to join this group to kill wild animals."
Jack spoke to the 159 hunters who were building the kingdom, he wanted them to have many volunteers and so he would have more confidence in the courage of the soldiers, but in more than an hour, only 20 soldiers volunteered to go to the forest with Jack.
Jack was disappointed by this and Robert was also disappointed, he knew many brave soldiers, but unfortunately, the soldiers returned to the capital after 4 months and took several years to return.
