That alone could have been finished on time but Ash didn’t think that he was expected to assign the commanders to any post that was considered important.
Having no real knowledge of who would be good for what post Ash could only listen to the suggestions made by the clan heads. Not even the sage was of much help since it was almost impossible to know the name and abilities of each person within such a large number of people.
Each clan head nominated someone from their own clan for each post and Ash was forced to choose between them. No matter what decision he made there would be a number of people who were not happy about it but since a decision had to be made he did it and hoped it would work out. Once all the positions were appointed the council was over and a large feast was prepared. Out of the forty-two clan heads only nine of them would be participating in the war itself. Most of the others would be remaining within the kingdom to help with logistic and support.
