[Platawan]

So I apologize for not posting yesterday. Also i may not be able to post until later tonight. Just wanted to take a minute to let you guys know what was going on.

[Joshua Tamashii]

Yip, initiate the summoning Caits ritual.

[Burthstone]

That guard talking to Pen seems to fail to realize most of any army is loyal to their paychecks, not their commander.

[MarshiestMallow]

I'm here! No summoning!

[YipeeXD]

Yip, initiate the summoning Caits ritual.

@Joshua Tamashii

Sigh.... *draws summoning circles* *Begins chanting*

[YipeeXD]

*kicks dust over circles as if it never happened*

[j8cob]

Actually I know a lot of veterans and you'd be surprised by how fiercely loyal most soldiers are. Though it is more so towards their immediate CO than a General or something. But still, the concept applies. Most soldiers, at least in the United States, are disciplined and loyal to their comrades.

@Burthstone

Not always, it would depend on the personaal affect of the soldiers, thats why I didn't say all of them :)

@j8cob

That's mostly due to the fact the US army is a Volunteer army, I was more speaking to the armies of the era Edolas seemed to be in, which was roughly mid-dark-ages/early enlightenment era. So at that time, armies were generally mercenarial, and thusly more loyal to money than people. But I get what you're saying. And I think you're still implying that, ultimately, to your average grunt it doesn't matter who the overarching General is (Other than the President, who's commander-in-chief) I should've worded my previous post better, sorry if I offended anyone who read that.

[j8cob]

Nah, it's fine. I wasn't offended. Just making a correction. But that does bring up a point of what kind of army Edolas has. I can't recall the anime or the manga stating (or even implying) the recruitment methods. Though they could be different from then considering our IC has a different person in power. :/

[Burthstone]

If I remember from the anime, Edolas controlled basically the entire world. So an army wouldn't be completely necessary except to quell rebellion, which is bound to not be uncommon in a kingdom that large. And I feel like it'd be hard to get a large enough voluntary army to keep order all over a landmass that size, especially with how they don't have modern medicine and thusly likely have a population of only 400-or-so million (Bassed off estimates of 1400), which is a lot, but I don't think you'd get a volunteer army large enough to maintain order all over the world like that. So the army would likely either be draft, or you get payed reasonably well for being in it Edit:

And posted. Hope I didn't need to do James...

@Zarkun

I missed this when you first said it, but yes, you needed to do James.
