Chapter 456: War to Promote Prestige—Zeferus Legion
A month later, the war ended. The participating armies gained countless trophies, and Verin gained great prestige as well as excellent warriors and reliable officers.
This newly acquired land, covering an area of up to 3,000 square kilometers, was named East Lake District by Weilin, and the capital was built on the edge of East Lake in this area.
In the military camp, tens of thousands of soldiers lined up neatly under the leadership of officers.
After more than a month of getting along, the soldiers from different tribes and villages became familiar with each other.
Cyrus came to the high wooden platform and solemnly announced: "The selection ceremony of Zeferus's legion has officially begun. The number of troops is three thousand, one thousand combat soldiers, and two thousand auxiliary soldiers."
"The warriors' strength is required to be no lower than low-level bronze, and the height is no less than 1.7 meters. If you defeat three warriors of the same level, you can be selected as a warrior of the Zeferus Legion."
"Auxiliary soldiers, whose strength must not be lower than that of a high-level warrior apprentice, who must be under the age of thirty, and whose height must not be less than 1.6 meters. If you defeat three warriors of the same level, you can be selected to become an auxiliary soldier of the legion."
After listening to the rules of the selection ceremony, the warriors present couldn't help but cheer. Even the weaker warriors couldn't help but be excited and praised the greatness of the West Wind Knight.
Weilin sat on the viewing platform and watched this scene quietly.
Under the rules, every warrior has a chance, which means that the Zeferus Legion does not need waste, and only the bravest warriors can join the Zeferus Legion.
Although there are only three thousand now, in the future, Verin is confident that the Zephyrus Army will be expanded to ten thousand, thirty thousand, or even one hundred thousand.
This process will be long, and all parts of the Silver Dragon Berk Kingdom will not stop themselves from attracting talents.
However, he was obviously overly worried. As long as the interests of the kingdom were not harmed and the money was paid within the appropriate range, the silver dragon lords in the electorate were more than happy to help Verin select suitable talents.
"The first selection begins."
As Cyrus finished speaking, ten young warriors stepped onto the ring, waiting for their challengers.
An extremely exciting battle scene was presented in front of everyone, and the cheers at the scene brought the selection ceremony to its peak. Weilin frequently looked sideways and had a new understanding of the combativeness of a creature with the blood of a giant dragon.
"Hilder of the Creek Tribe Selected."
"Sibi, of the tribe of Uriah, was selected."
"Caius Town..."
As Cyrus read out, more and more fighters stood out.
"Chief Davus, I remember Hilde is your child." Verin leaned on the stone seat and asked the leader of the Creek tribe who was sitting below and watching the battle.
"Yes, Sir Knight of the West Wind, Hilde is my third child and my youngest child." Davus answered respectfully without hiding anything.
"Not bad, I have your style."
"Thank you for your compliment."
Every time he heard a familiar name, Weilin would use it to communicate with the surrounding tribe leaders and town mayors, expressing his importance to them on the one hand, and exerting his authority on the other.
After three days, the selection of the Zeferus Legion was successfully completed.
In this selection, a total of thirty silver high-level warriors, fifty silver mid-level warriors, one hundred silver low-level warriors, three hundred bronze high-level warriors, five hundred bronze mid-level warriors, and eight hundred bronze warriors were recruited. Low-level warriors, and 1,300 apprentice high-level warriors.
For the Zeferus Legion, there is one legion commander and five deputy legion commanders.
The position of legion commander is left to Orlando concurrently. As for the five deputy legion commanders, Ridley, the younger brother of the Creek tribe leader, Patrick, the eldest son of Irina, the mayor of Caius Town, and Cyrus serve as three deputy commanders.
Except for Cyrus, the other two are Golden Warriors. Ridley is the golden mid-level, and Patrick is the golden low-level.
As for the two vacant positions, Weilin has other plans.
Seven days later, the army that defeated the monster clan in the mist forest was disbanded, and the Zeferus Legion entered a three-month training period.
Verin took full control of this legion. Verin changed his usual laziness and got up at six o'clock every day to personally supervise the training of Zeferus legion soldiers and teach them combat skills and training methods.
Paying equal attention to kindness and power, Weilin's personal prestige reached its peak in the entire legion. Even the three deputy commanders looked at Weilin with respect and enthusiasm.
……
In mid-June of the Glorious Calendar 9742, the training of the Zephyrus Legion was completed. There was only one crucial battle left before the army could become an army and achieve its unique glory.
"Master, there are monster clans gathering in the west of the East Lake District, and they are suspected of trying to snatch control of the East Lake District from you." Serafina entered the camp and reported to Verinhui.
Weilin stopped meditating, opened his eyes, and asked, "What's the scale?"
"There are three auras at the gold level, about eighty at the silver level, and those below are all bronze and below, with more than 10,000 in number."
"Inform Ridley, Patrick and Cyrus to assemble the troops. It's time to test the results of the training."
"Yes, my lord."
After Serafina left, Katarina entered the camp and put on the Gnath armor for Verin.
Even after seeing the armor made of silver dragon scales countless times, Katarina still felt in awe.
After putting on his armor, Verin took the knight's sword and walked out of the camp.
On the training ground, three thousand well-equipped soldiers were uniformly arranged in a square formation of a hundred people, waiting for Weilin's review.
Each warrior's armor is engraved with the emblem representing the Knight of the West Wind.
"Loyalty always wins."
Three thousand people roared loudly, and the powerful voices echoed around.
"Set off."
Vaelin gave the order and rode on Seraphina to lead Zephyrus's legions eastwards.
In less than three hours, the entire legion arrived at its destination.
At this moment, the monster clan that had received the news had already made preparations, using tens of thousands of cannon fodder such as goblins and kobolds to block the front.
Behind them came the gnolls, about two thousand in number.
After them came the armored ogres, not more than two hundred in number.
In addition, behind the monster clan army, there are three mysterious masked men, wearing black robes and strong.
Weilin stood above the red dragon, standing with his sword in his hand, looking at the monster phalanx with cold eyes.
Under the power of the dragon, the kobolds and goblins were in commotion. After being killed by more than a hundred gnolls and ogres, they temporarily stabilized.
"Take up your weapons and attack."
Vaelin's majestic voice reached the ears of every warrior in the Zephyrus Legion.
The army quickly changed its formation and began to march to the front in units of five.
"attack."
The man in black robe gave the order, and the gnolls and ogres drove the goblins and kobolds away and collided head-on.
Upon seeing this, Verin asked Serafina to join the battlefield. The hot magma took away the lives of countless monsters and brought an incomparable advantage to the Zeferus Legion.
