As the villages began to really come alive, Ares had the units of soldiers that worked together, the various squads, to form together into larger squads. Though he would eventually want to combine six of them together, that would be far too many to really join together for each village, and just under one hundred soldiers per village seemed to be a good idea. Having a village be one-sixth part of his army would foster enough military presence for everyone to be inspired. At least, he hoped they would be inspired and not frightened.
His city of Rivea had an entire company to look after it, which was a little over two hundred soldiers. That would increase in time, but many of the soldiers were placed at the fort in order to help increase it's construction speed, and many more continued to help monitor the slaves and create the wall. Ares didn't check on the wall's progression, instead allowing each Squad Captain become responsible for informing him if anything was wrong.
