Sen Acare stood in the barracks, militia around him.
"I want each one of you to pick a wooden weapon of your preferance and stand in ranks by weapon!"
He shouted out as the militia stopped moving to listen. After he gave them their orders they rushed to either a wooden sword or spear, and then formed two separate ranks, each in groups of ten.
"Well then, it seems we have an even number of each type of troop...We will do this in a tournament tradition! Swordsmen match with a spearmen from the other ranking, everyone without a partner come to me!"
After the militia were teamed up they stood in pairs, hundreds of pairs. They waited for his command.
"YOur objective! To disarm or otherwise make your opponent unable to continue the duel! I dont want any killing blows or mortal incidents! The winners will raise their weapons and wait for me to announce them the clear winner of the bout! On your command captain..."
A veteran soldier walked forward, raised a sword, and slammed the sword in a wide arc, the militia beginning their battle. This would teach militia how to cope with real battle situations such as defection and confusion tactics. After many hours of training the victors were chosen and they stood in newly formed ranks.
"The victors will rest up and battle again in twelve hours! The losers of their bouts will form anotehr rank in twelve hours and we will hold two separate tournaments from therein!"
[[At least 1630/5000]]
