Chapter 454: War to Promote Prestige - Assembly

Weilin went straight to the only stone seat in the tent and sat down.

Serafina, wearing red armor, came to the left rear of Verin.

As for the maid Katarina, she was wearing silver-white armor and stood behind Verin on the right side, staring ahead with an expressionless face.

The other commanders of the troops were arranged on both sides of the camp in order of superiority and inferiority.

"Knights of the West Wind, the Creek Tribe sent three gold warriors, one hundred and twenty silver warriors, six hundred bronze warriors, and eight hundred logistics soldiers." Davus, the leader of the Creek Tribe, walked out of the queue and took the lead in reporting to Verinhui .

When Davus returned to the queue, a dragon-turned lizard man came out and replied respectfully: "Dear West Wind Knight, the Uriah tribe sent two gold warriors, sixty silver warriors, and three hundred bronze warriors. , eight hundred logistics soldiers."

"Knight Zeferus, troops are dispatched from Covici Town..."

Hundreds of leaders from various places came out to report the number of troops to Weilin.

Stronger than the Creek and Uriah tribes, they sent more than a thousand troops.

Weak places like Yanik Village, which has a population of no more than fifty people, have only single digits of troops, less than five people, and only two soldiers.

However, Weilin didn't care. He mainly used this war to enhance his prestige.

"Master, the standing army plus the number of troops from each tribe, village and town, there are 13 gold warriors, 480 silver warriors, 4,637 bronze warriors, and 9,756 logistics soldiers. The total is The strength is 14,886 men." Serafina acted as secretary and made the final report to Verin.

Weilin stood up, and the commanders of each army lowered their heads subconsciously to maintain respect.

"I am very pleased that you led your warriors, put on armor and weapons, answered my call and participated in this war."

"In return, I promise to exempt you from taxes for five years."

"Thank you, sir." Everyone thanked them from the bottom of their hearts.

Looking around, Verin continued: "In two months, I will disband the Zeferus Territory standing army and form the Zeferus Legion directly under me."

"Legion soldiers will be born from you and the warriors you command. Take up your weapons and use the blood of the monster clan to show your most heroic side."

"I promise that the immediate family members of the warriors who join the Zeferus Legion will be exempted from the population tax, and the number will not exceed three. I will treat every warrior who joins the Legion as my own and train them with all my strength."

When the commanders of each army heard this, their eyes showed excitement that could not be concealed.

In the past half month, they have learned the true identity of this West Wind Knight.

Not only does he carry the knight Zeferus on his back, he is also the lord of the Prayer Star Territory of Ilia Kingdom located in the far east of the kingdom. Its territory is twice as large as Zeferus' territory and more than ten times more prosperous than Zeferus' territory.

At the same time, this Knight of the West Wind is also a close friend of His Excellency Aljeta, has a close relationship with His Majesty Alaric Sarnada, the King of the Silver Dragon Berk Kingdom, and is a close friend of the Lord of the Electoral District of Feneus.

In addition, a "wealth channel" connecting the Kingdom of Ilia and the Kingdom of Silver Dragon Berk also gave birth to the territory of Zeferus.

No one present would doubt the financial resources of the West Wind Knight, and they secretly decided to let their warriors show their best side in order to gain the favor of the West Wind Knight.

Verin was very satisfied with the expressions of everyone in the camp, and it was fitting that he asked Serafina to "accidentally" reveal this information.

Of course, he did not deceive these simple people, he just let them know the truth in advance.

"Silon."

"My lord." Archon Zephyrus Silen came out and saluted respectfully.

"In the name of the Knight of the West Wind, I appoint you as the deputy commander, and select one thousand warriors and two thousand logistics troops to take charge of logistics affairs."

"I obey your orders."

"Davus."

"My subordinates are here." Davus, the leader of the Creek tribe, walked out of the queue.

"In the name of the Knight of the West Wind, I appoint you as the commander of the Creek Battalion. You will command the army and recruit combat and logistics troops to make up the number of three thousand."

"Yes, sir."

"Kafiq, chief of the tribe of Uriah."

"My subordinates are here." The strong dragon-turned-lizard man walked out of the queue and lowered his head to obey the order.

"Appoint you as the commander of the Uriah Battalion..."

Verin organized two main battle battalions, the Creek Battalion and the Uriah Battalion, based on the existing number of troops, with a quota of three thousand.

Camp Dorian and Camp Caius served as supplementary second-line troops, with a quota of 2,500.

The Parkup Camp serves as the rear army, led by the deputy commander Siren, with a strength of three thousand.

The remaining one thousand troops were organized into escort battalions and given to Cyrus to command. On the one hand, they would test his command and commanding abilities, and on the other hand, they would give the other party a chance to show off.

Everyone present knew that Verin, as a dragon knight, had no problem with his own safety. Therefore, this guard camp was obviously established because of this young dragon man from Cyrus.

Taking over such an important position for the first time, Cyrus's face turned red and he was very excited. He never thought that one day he would be so important.

Except for a few dragons and dragon-formed creatures in the camp who were frightened, other dragon-formed creatures did not feel anything unusual, as if a young dragon-man was too excited.

"I'll give you three days to rest and recuperate, and we'll set off for the battle in three days."

"yes."

Weilin waved his hand and asked everyone to disperse.

After leaving the tent, the Crick tribe chief Daus, the Uriah tribe chief Kafik, the Dorian town chief Yannick and the Kaius town chief Irina looked at each other and knew what was going on.

"Seraphina."

"Master, what do you want me to do?" The red dragon girl asked respectfully.

"How is Katarina doing recently?"

"She is very hardworking, but a little naive, and her reaction speed is a little slow. It seems that she has added her IQ to her appearance. I personally don't recommend training her in the direction of combat." Seraphina commented without hesitation, without any consideration for the face of the blue-haired dragon girl standing behind her.

Katarina did not refute the evaluation of her temporary teacher. The fact was that she could not refute it.

"Katarina, come forward."

Hearing her master's words, Katarina walked to the center of the tent and waited for Weilin's instructions.

"I'll give you two choices. The first is to become the fourth maid of Star Moon Castle. The second is to continue to study with Seraphina for three months. If you can't get her recognition, you can only stay in Zephyrus Territory as an ordinary maid." Weilin said these two options in a gentle tone for Katarina to choose.

Katarina lowered her head to think, and she was in a dilemma. If it was half a month ago, she would definitely choose the second option, but now she is wavering.
