3rd July 1574
"Attention!"
While it bothered me to no end to use the modern forms of salute that were clearly imported from the western armies of the future, I just couldn't help it. With how the military developed around the world, as Poland lacked over one hundred years of its national and cultural development of the military tradition due to being torn apart and occupied by its neighbours, the picture of the advanced military in my head was clearly stolen from the movies and stories I read.
And it went without saying that those, in turn, were inspired by the western world!
"Present arms!"
With the command of the mayor, the highest officer commanding the entire small army, all men lined up in front of me raised their rifles to their shoulders in an orderly manner.
"Fire!"
All at once, every single rifle carried by my newly formed troop screamed in its loud yet beautiful voice, sending several gold coins worth of ammunition flying.
Guys, the entire announcment can be read on the discord in the announcement channels (reasons, why, what happens in details and all)
But for those too lazy to go to take a look:
In next month, I will be introducing another tier of priv, this time with a real price (199 coins) for another 5 chapters.
Starting the nearest Monday, I will increase the publishing rate by 50% to both of my novels, in hopes of my income reaching the level that would allow me to keep writing as I used to, otherwise I will have to bank all my hopes as remaining a writer into a third novel. In short words, the grace period where I had close to no costs of living is nearing its end. Unless I do everything in my power to earn this minimum amount to get me by, I will have to reconsider the feasibility of my writing as the academic year approaches fast, and I will have to either make writing profitable enough, or drop it and go find a normal job (like, Mc Donald pays twice to thrice as much as I earn from this novel, so I won't really have any choice.)
As for you guys... for one or two weeks you will see 3 chapters a day rather than 2!
