They shall all carry swords of steel and semi-automatic pistols. (We'll buy the pistols by asking our lord Baron to help fund our equipment costs for these girls).
"You come at a bad time to ask for money, your man Kastor just passed me a list of thing you'll need.
Have you seen the cost's he racking up all ready?
And now you want even more money!
60 autopistols, there 3 Gold eagles each!" the baron exclaims.
"Do you know what this is?" Kastor holds out a clenched fist
"This is the only true currency, the ultimate power, violence.
True wealth flows from the barrel of a gun, the blade of sword, the crunching of broken bones not from books of number and shiny coins but this.
As a wise man once said, Bellum se ipsum alet." Kastor leaves, the shell sitting in front of the baron.
"Well i see what i can do..."

Training
---------------
You split up the troops, with the hand picked Sisters of Maria training on there own.
"It will be hard, some of you may perish but those that survive there training will be my sisters." you announce to the gathered ladys.
Three months of hard training follow.
A steady patten of route marches and combat skills, hardening there body's as there skills grow.
Daily "counter-indoctrination" sessions help them over years of oppression as the truth slowly enterers there minds.
By the middle of the second month, the stakes of combat training have risen with bouts regularly spilling blood.
At the end of the third month there finished training and it's time for the Graduation Exam.
The final test is wilderness survive, the recruits have to make there way back to the barons keep, across a hundred miles of wilderness with nothing not even clothes.
Over the next few days the equipments arrives, with you note no autopistols, in there place you find Stub Pistols, a hundred and twenty of them.
At midnight you Assemble the surviving recruits in the court yard, ready to swear an oath.
"Today we swear before the four gods, an oath of union, a pact of loyalty and equality."
You open your wrist with a dagger and hold it over a large bass bowl.
In turn each of the Sister opens her wrist and add her share to bowl.
"Let us be one blood with each other! For the blood god Sisters!" with the sworn oath, you drink a cup full of the blood.
The bowl slowly emptys as each sister swears the oath.
Finally they stand before you, the Sisters of Maria.
There an impressive site, each is dressed in a chain mail shirt, crossed with a pair of white leather bandoliers.
Long sword and pistols sit in reach of there white gloved hands as white cloaks trail down to white knee high boots.
The frozen smiles from there masks add a sinister air to there presence.
--------
Finally, as awesome as double wielding a sword would be lets give it to Kastor since he has no sword. He'll be our Infantry commanding officer.
"You want me to have it? the Sword of Yanf-arnork?
Well this is certainly an honour, but we don't deal in honour do we?
I own you something for it, name it and it's yours." Kastor states as he takes the sword.
--------
"Well Captain, you've troops better be ready.
I've just gotten a report from my spies, Klingberg's men are marching to attack us.
Now they are still a few days way but he has both more men and guns than us.
I fear he plans to besiege us." Crotwell sounds worried as he speaks.
