Chapter 1120 Responding to the Expedition

On April 9772, 4 of the Glorious Calendar, the Grey Orc Kingdom declared war on the Sakr Kingdom. Both sides mobilized their armies and issued war orders to their allied countries and subordinate forces.

On May 9772, 5 of the Glorious Calendar, Pope Emilia of the Holy Third Kingdom of the Dawn declared a state of war. The eighteen provinces in the south entered a state of war and issued an expedition order to the human world against the Black Asian Orcs.

In just a few months, the expedition order spread throughout the human world.

More than a hundred years later, the war on the corridor connecting the Sinops subcontinent broke out again. No matter how the countries were undercurrents, they all began to form expeditionary forces led by the church.

In Xingyue Castle, Weilin looked at the official documents from the royal capital and fell into deep thought.

If you refuse to go on the expedition, you can ignore this official document.

If he responds to the expedition, he will need to lead a hundred people to join the expeditionary force.

"Hilda, go get Kyle."

"Yes, Master."

Hilda bowed her head and answered respectfully, then turned and left the study.

Leaning back in the chair, Weilin picked up the document again and read it carefully.

According to the will of Pope Palitzer Habakak Krejciel, nobles had to respond to the expedition voluntarily. If they did respond, the number of troops would be determined by their titles: three for barons, eight for viscounts, thirty for earls, one hundred for marquises, and five hundred for dukes. Their strength must not be lower than the lower bronze level.

As for the church, it was compulsory conscription.

A secondary parish needs to send three to ten people, and their strength must not be lower than the lower bronze level.

A provincial-level diocese must send out thirty people, whose strength must not be lower than mid-bronze level.

As for adventurers, mercenaries, merchants, etc., there are no requirements and they can join the expedition in their personal capacity, but their strength must not be lower than the lower bronze level.

In less than a moment, Kyle came to the study, bowed and saluted, and said, "Master, you are looking for me."

Weilin put down the document, looked up at Kyle, and asked with concern: "How is your injury?"

"Thank you for your concern. My injuries have healed and I can get back to normal." Kyle replied with a serious look.

Seeing this, Weilin nodded slightly, then handed the document to the other party and motioned him to take a look.

Seeing this, Kyle took the document and quickly read its contents.

In less than a moment, Kyle put the document back on the desk, looked up at Weilin, and asked, "My lord, do you want to join the expedition?"

"I can't hide it from you." Weilin smiled and said, "This expedition is very dangerous, but it is also an opportunity to spread your fame."

"In addition, the expeditionary forces of various countries will gather together, and you will be able to meet many outstanding people. You may even meet some old friends."

"Of course, the most important thing is that I want to achieve greater glory than my father and surpass him successfully."

After hearing his master's words, Kyle said nothing and chose to obey unconditionally.

"Master, how do you plan to select the people who will follow you on this expedition?" Kyle asked.

Seeing this, Weilin stroked his chin and said, "In my opinion, the quota of one hundred people should be set at eighty silver warriors and twenty silver knights. They will be selected through military competitions and the best ones will be chosen."

"Does it include the territory of Zeferus?" Kyle asked again after hearing this.

"Zefirus Territory..."

Weilin hesitated, thought for a moment, and finally said, "Including, Qixing Territory occupies 70 places, and Zeferus occupies 30 places."

"Finally, a restriction is added: Archons and senior military officers are not allowed to participate in the selection."

"Yes, my lord."

Kyle bowed his head and prepared to leave the study. Weilin suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, the Greedy Church will send the compensation in half a month. You should return the woman to them then. As for me, I won't go."

"Yes, my lord."

After watching Kyle leave, Weilin finished all the remaining official business, left the study directly, and went to visit Lord Thadius, asking him to pay more attention to the surrounding situation and eliminate potential threats after he left Qixing Territory.

It is unknown how long this war will last, it may be several years, or it may be more than ten years, so he does not plan to leave Xuemiya in the territory.

The government affairs are presided over by Baird and Andrew.

In terms of military affairs, since the war in the south cannot be fought, Cassius, a veteran of many battles, can take charge, and several other guardian knights can assist.

As for the territory of Zephyrus, he felt relieved with Orlando there.

Finally, there is Hebrew, that troublesome boy. But with his wife watching over him and his brother and sister-in-law keeping an eye on him all the time, he shouldn't cause any trouble.

Ten days later, Weilin convened a territory meeting, set a policy of stability first, and emphasized various matters. He then dissolved the meeting and called all the guardian knights to the study.

In the study, Weilin leaned against the desk and looked at the fifteen guardian knights who were loyal to him. Compared with more than fifty years ago, except for Baird who became a little older, the appearance of the others had basically not changed.

"Everyone, a scene like this hasn't appeared in my memory for a long time." A smile appeared on Weilin's face, and he looked around and said with some emotion.

"My lord, as far as I can remember, scenes like this where we met with you alone only happened during the early days of development. After that, there were no such scenes." Baird said with a somewhat melancholy look on his face.

“Hahaha, it seems to be true.” After hearing Baird’s words, the vague picture in Weilin’s memory gradually became clear. “Since then, many talented people have emerged in Qixing Territory, such as Eden, Cyril and Medea, who grew up from soldiers to become generals or governors, or my uncle, Devonshire and Duke, who I found outside, and the Eagle Territory…”

Before they knew it, Weilin had been talking for more than ten minutes, and Baird and the others had been listening quietly for more than ten minutes.

"Orlando, Hebrew."

Upon hearing this, the two brothers bowed their heads and said, "Master."

"You are the first group of guardian knights who have sworn allegiance to me, and you are also the guardian knights I chose myself."

After finishing speaking, Weilin looked at Baird and the others and said softly, "Baird, Andrew, Randolph, Raymondo, Cassius, Greg, Dosius..."

Every time a guardian knight's name was called out, the person whose name was called would bow and salute in response to his master.

"…Imogene, Alf, Adolf, Orion, Michael."

After reading out the last person's name, Weilin paused for a moment, a look of reminiscence in his eyes, and said, "You are the second group of my guardian knights who swore allegiance to me. You swore allegiance to me in the square of Windsor Castle, witnessed by the Bishop of the Church of Life."

"The last one is Kyle." After reading this, Weilin looked at Kyle and said with a smile, "You are the third batch of guardian knights who swore allegiance to me, and you are also my last guardian knight."

"With this, my most loyal subordinates are all here."
