The night culminates in Kaladin using the money he earned to purchase food and assigning Rock to cook a stew. Not a single person refuses to partake in eating around the fire. The next day, a majority of the men follow his orders to rise out of bed and practice.{{book ref|twok|27}}
==== Transforming Bridge Four into
Kaladin manages to get all of the men to submit to his authority and participate in his training. The training cuts down on their losses but Kaladin
Before the next bridge run, Kaladin gains [[Lopen]] as a member from a new batch of recruits. They immediately go on a bridge run, where Kaladin orders Bridge Four to perform the side carry as they engage the Parshendi. The side carry is a success as it completely protects Kaladin's men, however, other bridge crews try to emulate the side carry. Not having trained the maneuver, the other bridge crews fail; lacking a sufficient number of bridges to cross the chasms and with the timing of the assault desynchronized, the battle is thrown into chaos and Sadeas loses.{{book ref|twok|32}}
As punishment for the failure, Sadeas demotes several officers and executes [[Lamaril]], the lighteyed officer directly in charge of the bridgemen. Sadeas declines to execute Kaladin directly; instead, he decides to let the [[Stormfather]] judge Kaladin—Kaladin will be freed if he can survive being tied to the side of a building during a [[highstorm]].{{book ref|twok|34}} During the highstorm, Kaladin
Kaladin survives the highstorm, though he is severely injured. His men cut him down, care for him, and post a constant guard by his bed. While recovering, Kaladin unconsciously consumes stormlight in order to heal, causing Teft to suspect that he may be a member of the [[Knights Radiant]].{{book ref|twok|38}} Ten days later, Kaladin makes a miraculous full recovery and his men, never having known of his previous army service, revive the name Kaladin Stormblessed.{{book ref|twok|40}}
After his recovery, [[Matal]], a high-ranking lighteyed officer,
During a highstorm, Kaladin
Later that day, Bridge Four
Later, Kaladin takes Bridge Four into the chasms as part of chasm duty. However, instead of of scouring for valuables, he begins training Bridge Four, which has now dwindled to twenty-four members in total, as spearmen. Kaladin tricks Teft into revealing that he was formerly a sergeant, and assigns him to oversee the training of the men. Meanwhile, he assigns Lopen, Rock, [[Dabbid]], and Shen to do actual salvage work—with Syl's help—so that they will not be suspected of shirking their duties. Kaladin is impressed at the men's progress after only a few hours, and remarks that thanks to their adverse conditions, they are ironically the most motivated and fit recruits that he has ever seen.{{book ref|sa1|49}}
