Chapter 977 Developing the Gray Fog Space - Gathering Troops

"Yes." Cassius answered with certainty, "The main reason why we became the commander of a battalion when we were still Silver Knights was because we were all guardian knights and swore allegiance to our master when he was insignificant."

"Eden was able to become the leader of the Blue Veil Battalion as a Silver Warrior, partly because of his ability, and partly because of the wealth of money that goes into buying talent."

"Midi became the commander of the Ninth Battalion. In addition to loyalty, she also gambled her life."

"Miller, he has been the captain of the guard for nearly thirty years beside the master, which is enough to prove his loyalty. As for his ability, it is exactly unimportant at this time."

"This time the Lord has transferred you to the Ice Sword Battalion as deputy commander. I guess this is to test your ability and loyalty."

Congreve solemnly handed the order document back and said, "General, I understand."

"Go down and prepare well. I hope you can succeed."

"It is an honor to have a commander come out of the Qixing Camp."

"Yes, General." Congreve paused for a moment and replied in a firm tone, "General, I will return the training materials you provided me."

"talk about it later."

Cassius waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

After seeing Congreve off, Cassius took his knight's sword, left the barracks, and headed to the Crescent Moon Castle to meet his master.

In the afternoon, after Cassius arrived at the Star-Moon Castle, Weilin talked with him for several hours and explained important matters.

Three days later, the corresponding military commanders were replaced, and some officers whose strength had no longer improved began to retire and were assigned to Qixing County to supplement Baird's manpower.

The vacant positions in the army were quickly filled by stronger young soldiers.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion of Qixing City, Baird looked at the list in his hand and felt very confused. His master frequently sent people to him, which made him feel something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

Baird put down the list and walked back and forth in the office. Combining the information in his hands, he began to think about what was wrong.

"Recently, it seems that a lot of supplies have been mobilized from Lettys County. Could it be that the Lord is planning to send troops to the Gray Wasteland?"

"Or is it that the master is planning to develop the gray fog space and is going to use his subordinates to develop and manage it, but that gray crystal stone cannot be used?"

Rejecting this idea in his mind, Baird began to think about other possibilities.

"Build a teleportation array to connect with the Holy Third Kingdom of Dawn. However, a magician is needed to maintain the teleportation array, so it doesn't seem to have much to do with me."

Thinking about all the possibilities, Baird couldn't figure out what his master was planning for a moment.

Besides, with so many experienced officers coming in this time to increase his manpower, he would have no reason to resist when the next time manpower was drawn from him, not even a reason to block the door.

Time passed slowly and three months went by in a flash.

In early May of the Glorious Year 9768, Weilin ordered the Blue Veil Battalion of Commander Eden, Greg's Fourth Battalion, Dosius' Fifth Battalion, and Media's Ninth Battalion to assemble at the western border of Lettice County.

As for the defense of the former Lansha County, Xifeng County, Luming County and Lettice County, they were temporarily taken over by Miller's Tenth Battalion and the Qixing Legion.

At the same time, an order was sent to the underworld.

Within three days, 50,000 docile miners must be drawn from all areas of the underground world and sent to the surface world for centralized custody, awaiting further orders.

This land reclamation is different from the land reclamation in the gray wasteland.

There are three unknowns about the gray fog monster: no one knows when it will come, where it will come from, and no one knows its size or abilities.

Faced with this situation, if ordinary young and strong people were to be recruited to open up wasteland and unexpected situations occurred, there would surely be heavy casualties.

But if you use the docile miners of the underground world, you won’t feel any heartache even if you lose everything.

These monsters reproduce quickly and have a short development cycle. As long as there is enough food, there is no need to worry about consumption.

At the western border of Lettice County, the generals entered the tents and stood on both sides.

Weilin sat in the main seat, looked around, and said with a serious face: "The purpose of this expedition is not to expand the territory and eliminate the monster clan."

Except for a few people, most of the others had puzzled looks in their eyes, but did not communicate with each other. Instead, they waited for further instructions from the lord.

"Most of you have heard of the gray crystal, but no one knows where it comes from except for a few people."

"The purpose of gathering the army this time is to develop the area that produces gray crystals. I call this area the Gray Fog Space."

"The entrance to the gray fog space is inside a lake 77 kilometers outside the western border of Letty County."

When everyone heard this, they all showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

No wonder the lake near the border was designated as a restricted area by the lord. Except for specific troops, no one else is allowed to enter the lake. Even the border patrol troops have to bypass this place. It turns out that a big secret is hidden there.

In addition, there is a black dragon guarding the mountain nearby. It is said to be the lord's pet, and is responsible for driving monster clans and wild beasts away from the lake.

"During this expedition, the Blue Veil Battalion will be the main combat unit, the Fourth and Fifth Battalions will provide support, and the Ninth Battalion will serve as the logistics unit, responsible for transporting supplies from the western border of Lettice County to the Pink Lake. It will also be responsible for transporting underground workers in the future."

"This battle requires a pre-war ban. It is forbidden to act without permission."

"Yes, my lord." Everyone bowed and saluted, answering respectfully.

"The meeting is adjourned. Everyone go down and prepare well. The content of the meeting shall be kept strictly confidential."

"Yes."

Everyone took the order and left the tent one after another.

After a while, only Weilin, Kyle, Odor, and the Dawn Knight Celeste were left in the tent, a total of four extraordinary soul-level beings.

His wife Xuemiya stayed in Xingyue Castle, ready to receive envoys from the royal capital at any time to discuss the site selection of the teleportation array.

Fiona and Osmond, the vice-president of the Mage Academy, will temporarily stay in Qixing City to prevent any emergencies.

"Uncle, when we build the fortress outside the gray fog, I'll ask you to build the city."

Odor nodded and said, "I understand. As long as the materials are complete, I will build a fortress for you in the shortest possible time."

Upon hearing this, Weilin turned to look at Knight Dawn and said, "Knight Celeste, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."

Celeste nodded and said nothing.

After several months of traveling and visiting several territories, Celeste's stereotype of Weilin had been shattered, and he had some good feelings for him.

During his travels, he also learned to be tolerant, but when faced with evil nobles, he would still choose to take action.
