"If I may, Hiruma Genshiko's Field Manual strongly advocates using the spade to divide the battlefield. The resulting trenches can be prepared with a variety of traps, sharpened stakes being the quickest to deploy, particularly if one's army has them pre-made. So insistent is she on this point that she advocates trading space for time in order to select and control the battlefield."

"I suspect you would get different answers, depending on whom you asked. A knowledge of law, an understanding of people and proficiency with a weapon would be the foundation of a good magistrate. For my family, a keen eye is also expected. Discerning the truth of things is important." he explained.
"And what about the folks making the decision about who to give the position to? What are they looking for? I imagine a good number of them are political appointments?" Daikumo guesses

"Most likely." he admits. "Hopefully, that's a minority of the appointments, however. Justice would crumble, if it were administered more by influence than competence. Regardless, service in the legion could help establish both."

"Good advice and true. Rope will be good in tying back tree limbs that can be released by cutting on approach of the enemy to impede their progress or entrap them into a closed area."

"I hope you are successful in your pursuit of both an assignment and justice. If you need anyone to help you out with your equipment just let me know," Daikumo replies. "Gotta make sure everything is squared away no?"

"It would be an easy win for you. I am one of those rare folks that loves the work they do as part of their duty. I relax by polishing swords and working the forge, so I never really learned any gaming," the big man admits.

"I've been fond of many games since I was young." he said. "The can be both challenging and relaxing. They provide a welcome distraction to the stress we endure each day."

"If there are any sorts of games I can put together for you with a smiths hammer I could potentially help out, but I'm definitely not a wood carver or anything like that, so I can't really do go stones or the like."

He nodded. "Your skills are better tasked elsewhere, Agasha-san. I may try to acquire something the next time we pass through a location with such things. Having some games on hand may be good for morale. They help me."

"What about word games? I hear some folks like playing word games for entertainment and to sharpen their minds? Not that I'd be a worthy opponent when matching wits and words with anyone. Shiritori maybe?" he suggests.

For her part, Kumiko keeps eyes on her troops. Banter along the march is a commonplace and no problem, so long as vigil is kept.

"That's true." he nodded. "Sonetimes, I think most of the Empire expects Dragon to speak in riddles anyway."

Yoshiko is one to enjoy a good game. Her interest peaked yet she kept quiet not to interrupt. Word game sounds like fun. I might not be the best but man I could learn a good game.
