Chapter 719: Divided into 3 Armies

The next morning, after Weilin sent his grandfather and Fast away, he patted his head and suddenly remembered something he had forgotten.

"Xing should know the way home."

A griffin is over thirty years old. If he still doesn't know the way home, he would be unworthy of the title of clan leader.

After putting this matter aside for the time being, Weilin returned to his study and began to handle official business.

The Soller Province and the Badak Province in the North Sea Region of the German Kingdom are within the sphere of influence of the Fifteenth Army. Together with the Ancient Gorge Road in the Stovia Region of the Anasta Principality, the Thousand Castles Province and the Solomon Province, he now controls more than 600,000 square kilometers of land, but has only 160,000 troops, which is somewhat insufficient.

Due to several fierce wars and the strategy of scorching the countryside implemented by the Kingdom of Geman, the population of Soller Province and Badak Province in the Northern Greek Sea Region lost 50% and the current population is less than two million.

"Sir, General Gregg requests to see you."

The guard's voice sounded outside the door. Weilin immediately put down his work and ordered, "Let Greg come to see me."

"Yes, my lord."

A moment later, Greg, wearing armor, entered the study, beat his chest and saluted, and said respectfully: "My Lord."

Weilin waved his hand to indicate to Greg that he didn't need to greet him, and asked him to sit down in the reception area nearby.

"Have all the rewards been distributed?"

"My Lord, under my supervision, all the soldiers of the vassal army have received their military merits," Greg said respectfully. "After receiving land, cloth, slaves, money, and training, the soldiers of the Thousand Fortress Army, the Black Rock Army, and especially the Badak Army, all cheered for your greatness and were willing to die for you."

Weilin stroked his chin and said with emotion: "It seems that the oppression of the lower-class civilians and weaker professionals by the Kingdom of Geman is even more severe than that of the Kingdom of Ansa."

"My lord, when traveling between various towns, many professionals want to join the Badak Army and become your warriors, but according to the military system, the Badak Army already has 28,000 people, which is the limit." Greg continued to report.

Upon hearing this, Weilin gave an order: "First, gather these professionals and incorporate them into the 31st Crusade Army and give them to Feng Liesk for training."

"Master, is that man okay?" Greg asked, feeling somewhat puzzled after hearing this.

Weilin smiled and replied, "Feng Liesk has been very honest recently. Besides, he is a low-level gold warrior. It would be a waste for him to just sit there idle. I plan to test him. If he works diligently, I can accept him. If his ability is questionable, I will transfer him to Ravia Pastor to make use of his remaining energy."

"My lord, you are very thoughtful." Greg complimented.

"Hahaha, I know my own business, so you don't need to praise me." Weilin waved his hand and replied with a smile, "I am also going to let you be responsible for rewarding the Crusader soldiers."

"Please rest assured, my lord. I will complete the task." Greg stood up and assured loudly.

"sit."

After Greg sat down again, Weilin continued, "I haven't decided on a name for the Fourth Battalion yet. If you have a better name, please tell me and I'll consider it."

"Yes, my lord." Greg replied with his eyes shining.

"Okay, you go down first, I still have things to take care of."

"Yes, my lord."

After sending Greg away, Weilin took a quick look at the official appointments in Soller Province and Badak Province, then called the Shadow Guard and asked him to take the list to investigate the background of these people, record any problems, and report to him in the end.

……

It is mid-November of the Glorious Calendar 9755, and more than four months have passed since the th Army was stationed in Badak and Soller provinces.

During this period, Weilin, in his position as deputy director of the expeditionary force's logistics department, intercepted 150,000 prisoners of war from the German Kingdom and assigned them to the 15th Army. He eliminated the old and weak, and sent ordinary prisoners to mine. The remaining 40,000 professionals were divided into batches into the three vassal armies of the Black Rock Army, the Thousand Fortress Army, and the Badak Army.

After two months of training, the 130,000 vassal troops are now ready for use.

On November 16, in the hall of Soller City, the generals of various departments took their seats one after another.

Weilin sat in the main seat, supporting his chin with his left hand, listening to the clerk's report.

"As of today, the 15th Army controls more than 200,000 troops."

"The headquarters of the 15th Army has 18,336 registered soldiers."

"There are five divisions of the Crusader Army, with 12,726 registered soldiers."

"The Black Rock Army has twelve battalions, 36,826 combat soldiers, and 11,826 auxiliary soldiers."

"The Thousand Fortress Army has twelve battalions, 36,678 combat soldiers, and 8,777 auxiliary soldiers."

"The Badak army has ten battalions, 31,890 combat soldiers and 14,493 auxiliary soldiers."

"The Fifteenth Army Logistics Department has two armies under its jurisdiction, the Ninth Army and the Tenth Army, with a total of 48,763 personnel, of which 33,488 can serve as reserve soldiers for the Black Rock Army, the Thousand Fortress Army, and the Badak Army."

"The total amount of food is 860,000 tons, enough to feed the army for eight years."

"All kinds of alcoholic beverages are bottled and barreled. The standard for bottles is one liter, and the standard for barrels is fifty liters. There are a total of 339,600 bottles and 18,937 barrels."

"Armor, excluding the soldiers' equipment, there are 119,500 leather armors, 89,000 iron armors, 13,900 blue iron armors, and 1,636 five-seal armors..."

Half an hour later, the clerk closed the file, stepped aside, picked up another blank file, and prepared to record the meeting minutes.

"I called you here for two main reasons."

Upon hearing this, everyone straightened their chests and looked at Weilin, who was sitting in the upper seat, with longing in their eyes.

"First, the army is too large and difficult to command. I plan to set up three armies: the upper army, the middle army, and the lower army. Each army will command 60,000 to 80,000 troops. When they are united, they become one army, and when they are dispersed, they become three armies. All of them can independently carry out the task of attacking cities and seizing territories."

Hearing this, everyone held their breath and waited for the next result.

"The Thousand Fortress Army, the Ninth Army of the Logistics Department, and the troops under Baron Brian will form the Upper Army. Brian will serve as the general of the Upper Army, and Freeman, the commander of the Thousand Fortress Army, will serve as the deputy general."

Bryan and Freeman both stood up and answered loudly, "Yes, Commander."

Seeing this, Weilin waved his hand to signal the two to sit down, and then announced: "The Black Rock Army, the Tenth Army of the Logistics Department, the Ice Sword Battalion, and the Ice Bear Knights will form the Lower Army. Hebrew will serve as the general of the Lower Army, and Pastor Lavia will serve as the deputy general."

"Yes, my lord." The two men stood up and answered, then sat down again.
