Chapter 820: Return Date is Near

On May 9762, 5 of the Glorious Calendar, in the Tautas Mountains of the Nangeshia continent, the Church of Life, the Church of Harvest and the Church of Courage signed the "Nangesia Continent Ordinance", which clearly defined the sphere of influence and divided up the Nangeshia continent.

In the eastern part of the Nangeshia continent, the Church of Life acquired ownership of the Gades Empire, the Kingdom of Praia and the northern part of the Tira Forest; the Church of Harvest occupied the Grand Duchy of Kingslin, the Kingdom of Lothal, the southern part of the Tira Forest and the southwestern part of the Boyak Empire.

The rest of the eastern region and overseas islands all belong to the Church of the God of Courage.

With the signing of the agreement, the three major churches shifted their attention from the war of expansion to the war of missionary work, with the expeditionary force as the main force, and the crusaders, vassal forces, and naturalized forces from various countries as the auxiliary forces, to completely clean up the pagans in the country, burn irrelevant books, and erase the influence of the three gods, the God of Beasts, the God of Forests, and the God of Giants, on the billions of lives on the continent of Nangeshia.

During the missionary movement, whether to adopt a gentle policy or a cruel suppression system towards the indigenous people in each region, or a combination of the two, all depends on the decision of the commanders of the expeditionary forces.

For Weilin, he cannot control other places, but in the four countries of the Kingdom of Teton, the Grand Duchy of Merezakli, the Principality of Calentin and the Kingdom of Skarlovy, wanton looting is absolutely not allowed.

Generally speaking, he conquered these four places, so he is responsible for more than 300 million people.

The nobles who were assigned to spread the faith in the Kingdom of Teton, the Grand Duchy of Merezakli, the Duchy of Calentin and the Kingdom of Skarlovy had to behave themselves due to Verin's prestige and did not dare to plunder and seize land like the nobles of other countries.

But when it comes to mining ore and collecting extraordinary resources, Weilin did not stop them, and even took the initiative to give up some ore resource points as compensation.

Therefore, in order to obtain enough mining slaves, many nobles had to lead their troops day and night to eliminate pagans, capture people with bad character, serve as mining slaves, and send them into the mines.

In order to maximize their profits, some nobles even lured the Crusaders to mine by promising them only 50% of the mining tax, which made many lower-level Crusaders grateful.

In the manor in the northern part of the capital of the Kingdom of Skarlovy, Weilin lay on a rattan chair, looking at the intelligence collected by the Shadow Guards, feeling a little melancholy.

"Do you think these people are afraid of me? Or are they afraid of my grandfather?" Weilin handed the information to Kyle and asked curiously.

Kyle took the document, flipped through it quickly, and said, "My lord, I think they are afraid."

"Tell me."

With a curious look on his face, Weilin picked up a piece of fruit, took a bite, and waited for Kyle's praise... uh, answer.

Kyle placed the document on his lap and slowly said, "My Lord, the news of the expedition has spread. After returning home, you will be promoted to the title of Earl and become the sixth Earl of the Aix family."

"Although you are not the fastest noble to be promoted to earl in the history of the Kingdom of Ilia, you are still among the top ten."

"At this time, no noble family wants to offend you."

"Besides, you let them get away with it."

"According to my understanding, the eastern border of the Kingdom of Skalovy receives tens of thousands of refugees from the Kingdom of Seville every day. This shows how greedy those nobles are."

"The more chaotic it is, the more frequent the rebellion will be, which is more detrimental to the missionary work. I'm afraid it won't be long before the Life Church intervenes. Those nobles will probably be in big trouble. Although their lives won't be in danger, the properties they looted in the local area will definitely be confiscated, and they may even have to pay for it."

"You have a long-term vision. I didn't think so much when I did these things." Weilin threw away the fruit core in his hand and said without any concealment.

He did this simply to protect the lower-class civilians and prevent them from suffering from the harm caused by other evils.

"By the way, is there any sign of the Holy Flame Spirit hatching?"

Thinking of the egg still in the Messier demiplane, Weilin asked.

Seeing this, Kyle replied, "It is estimated to take about ten months."

"Ten months, not far away. I'm a little curious about what he looks like. Will he look like you?"

Hearing the teasing from his master, Kyle closed his eyes and continued to meditate, pretending he didn't hear it.

Seeing that Kyle didn't respond, Weilin had no interest in continuing. He put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes and basked in the sun.

The expedition campaign is over, and it won’t be long before we return to the Kingdom of Ilia.

According to his guess, it would take at most three years and at most one year. As for the specific time, it depends on the speed of missionary work.

……

In mid-August of the Glorious Year 9762, Weilin invited all the selected candidates for the Halo Project to the manor.

As the date of his return draws near, he should consider the affiliation of the vassal troops belonging to the 15th Army.

Weilin sat in the main seat, looking at the generals, officers and outstanding soldiers below, excluding his own direct subordinates, a total of 1,533 people.

The young soldiers standing in front of the chairs all came from the seven subordinate armies under the 15th Army.

Looking back, he has been in this world for ten years and has established the Black Rock Army, Thousand Fortress Army, Badako Army, Mines Army, Alan Army, Haina Army, and the Maleg Army which was split from the Alan Army.

The Black Rock Army originated from the surrendered soldiers from Black Rock Island and was born out of an idea of ​​missionary work. It now has 53,763 soldiers, and 283 of them are selected for the Halo Project.

The Thousand Fortress Army was formed by the sons of lower-ranking nobles from the Cardro Province who voluntarily stayed in the Metagea plane. It has an army of 44,788 people, and 353 of them were selected for the Halo Project.

The Badak Army was created by Kyle. It was a group of Germans who were forced to join the vassal army under the 15th Army. It eventually became a powerful force with a total of 41,600 people, including 253 people selected for the Halo Project.

The Mines Army is a force formed with the surrendered general Elif Mines of the German Kingdom and his direct troops as the core, and it absorbs soldiers from the German Kingdom's army. It currently has 38,763 troops, and 213 of them meet the standards of the Halo Project.

The Aramean Army was a force recruited and formed when attacking the Storm Church. It had 32,500 soldiers, but only 163 of them met the requirements of the Halo Plan.

The Haina Army was established in the Haina Province of the Kingdom of Arland. It is mainly composed of Arland people and has 28,700 soldiers.

The Malegad Army was the shortest-lived army and had experienced the fewest battles. Its main purpose was to split up the Aramean Army. It had 23,300 soldiers.

There are only 236 personnel from both armies who meet the requirements of Project Halo.
