Chapter 318 135th Legion

As the war draws closer, 80% of the kingdom's troops gather at the northern border.

In early June, the order to assemble came.

The nobles of Cardero Province first went to the provincial capital to assemble for a three-month training, and then carried out the second reorganization according to the establishment of the kingdom's army.

Seven days later, when Weilin led the army to the provincial capital, no less than 30,000 troops had gathered here.

Different from previous wars, in this war between the two countries, the participating nobles used all their most elite forces.

The larger the scale of the war, the more opportunities there are to obtain military exploits, and the more nobles are worthy of being befriended.

As soon as Verin arrived at the training camp outside the provincial capital, Viscount Moncas came to visit with several nobles.

"Viscount Montcas, what are you doing?"

"Would it be convenient to go in and have a chat?" Mengkas said to Verin with a smile.

Weilin opened the curtain and said enthusiastically: "Please come in."

After a few people entered the camp, they sat down quietly and waited for Moncas and Verin to discuss matters. They listened on the side.

At this time, Verin reluctantly recalled that the three nobles following Viscount Moncas were all viscounts, but they had only met a few times and were not familiar with them.

"Weilin, my army suffered heavy losses in this exploratory operation. I am afraid that I will not be able to assume the position of Speaker of the Noble Council of Cardero Province. I hope you can take over the banner." Moncas removed the superficial disguise and told Weilin pleaded.

Whether this middle-aged man was showing his true feelings or was just another disguise, Weilin couldn't tell.

However, it would still be of great benefit to me to take over the banner of being the leader of the nobles of Cardero Province.

When the kingdom reorganizes the noble armies, the noble armies from the same province will usually be put together. If the number is insufficient, noble armies will be drawn from the nearest provinces to fill the gap.

If he replaces Viscount Moncas and becomes the Speaker of the Council of Nobles of Cardero Province, he will most likely take over the position of commander of the legion formed by the noble army of Cardero Province.

Faced with Weilin's silence, Viscount Muncas was not in a hurry and sat quietly, letting the other party think slowly.

Since the founding of the Ilia Kingdom, there has been a rule that the strongest noble in the province serves as the speaker of the Noble Council. This is a rule written into the Noble Code.

Moncas's own strength has been damaged, but he still occupies this position and refuses to let it go. Before the second reorganization, he will definitely be held accountable by the Kingdom's military and deprived of the position of Speaker of the Noble Council of Cardero Province.

Rather than being questioned later and being embarrassed in public, it is better to hand it over now so that the other party can remember how good you are.

"Your Excellency Moncas, I have taken over the position of Speaker of the Noble Council." Verin looked firm, as if he had made some important decision.

Everyone is an old fox, so they naturally cater to Weilin's attitude.

Several other viscounts who followed Moncas sent their blessings and expressed their congratulations.

That night, the news that Verin had taken over the position of Speaker of the Noble Council of Cadero Province spread throughout the training camp. The viscount and the powerful barons remained silent, and the weak barons did not dare to speak nonsense. Everyone was tacitly aware of the situation. accepted this fact.

On June 15, the training camp gathered more than 60,000 troops, which was the number of full regiments in a kingdom.

Among them, nine viscounts sent troops and occupied 35,000 troops, while the other fifty-four barons sent troops with only 25,000 troops.

All soldiers meet the minimum requirements for a noble army and are all professionals.

In order to meet the requirements of the army, some barons sent their descendants and some direct descendants into the army.

Compared with being deprived of the title, the lives of the family's children are not that important.

Although the kingdom called on the nobles to send troops, that noble would not "voluntarily" send troops unless he wanted to be settled by his queen.

His cousin Brian also sent an army of 300 men, fulfilling the baron's minimum requirement for sending troops, but there was no leading general.

Seeing this situation, Verin asked Cassius to transfer some officers from the Praying Star Camp and integrate them into his cousin Brian's army.

Anyway, now that he has become the Speaker of the Noble Council of Cardero Province, and if nothing else happens, he will also be the leader of a legion. When the time comes, he can use some authority to organize the three hundred troops of his cousin Brian under his command.

From June 15th to September 15th, this three-month training period gave the loose noble army a new look. The biggest change was undoubtedly the baron's army, whose combat effectiveness was at least improved by one level.

On September 16, there were only thirteen nobles in the central camp who were qualified to enter the camp. The others could only wait outside for news of the reorganization.

The two young men in charge of the reorganization are officers from the military. The high-level Baiyin will stay in the reorganized legion and serve as staff officers and liaison officers respectively.

"My lords, in accordance with the order of the Kingdom's Military Department, the 60,000 noble troops of Cardero Province have been reorganized into the 135th Army Corps, with two armies under their jurisdiction. Each army has six battalions, and each battalion has a strength of 5,000. Viscount Qi Xing, Verin Akers, serves as the commander of the army, and he also serves as the commander of the 319th Army."

"Moncas Lowick serves as the deputy commander of the 135th Army and also serves as the commander of the 320th Army."

"Alcott Akers serves as deputy commander of the 319th Corps of the 135th Corps."

"Algernon Barritt serves as deputy commander of the 320th Army of the 135th Army."

"..."

Of the nine viscounts, two serve as corps commanders, two are nominal deputy corps commanders, and the remaining five serve as battalion commanders of their respective units and also hold some corps headquarters positions.

As long as they are viscounts, they are more or less attached to the legion headquarters. Naturally, those barons do not have this honor.

"Rovie Budeboer serves as staff officer of the 135th Regiment."

"Zachary Akers serves as the 135th Legion Liaison Officer."

Hearing the last person's name, Weilin looked over curiously, only to find that the other person was also sizing him up.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

I really didn’t expect to meet my own people here.

The three-month training was completely closed and no outside information could be obtained. Unexpectedly, one of the two officers sent by the kingdom's military was actually a member of the Akers family.

Thinking of this, Weilin couldn't help but think of his old father. Could it be that he had some connections in it?

"By order signed by His Majesty the King, the 135th Army Corps will take command of the 27th Army Corps."

"The commander of the Twenty-seventh Corps is Bulborn Silvis, the deputy commander is Medmonkey Colombo, and the staff officer is Balmond Eccles. It has the jurisdiction of the 131st Corps, the 1st The 132nd Legion, the 133rd Legion, the 134th Legion and our 135th Legion."
