Chapter 617: 20,000 Troops

Time passed slowly, and Qixing Territory developed steadily according to the established plan.

In the study, Weilin leaned back in his chair and read the official documents issued by the capital.

It has been ten months since the magic crystal vein incident. Under the pressure of the Hurricane Legion and the tacit approval of the royal family, the nobles who originally wanted to get a piece of the pie could only extinguish their little thoughts and dared not provoke the chairman of the Noble Council of Dani Province, Earl Hurricane.

During the ten months that Kyle was away, Weilin was not idle. He mobilized his own connections to expand the number of troops he sent.

In early September of the Glorious Calendar 9750, the kingdom issued an official document announcing that there were 1,638 nobles in the kingdom who voluntarily participated in the holy war of faith, including two dukes, 13 marquises, 33 earls, 367 viscounts, and 1,223 barons who were willing to give it a try.

Since the end of the seven-year war between the Kingdom of Ilia and the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom, most of the nobles have not yet caught their breath in the past ten years.

On the battlefield, if you want to gain military merit, you can only exchange it with the professionals in your hands.

In order to lure the dwarf governor Bruce into the game, the Sixth Command directly threw out two legions of 100,000 people as bait.

From that command level, the strength of the two legions may be two chess pieces.

But to form two legions, at least several earls and dozens of viscounts are needed to piece together two qualified legions.

To put it bluntly, in that war, although the nobles of the two legions gained a lot of military merit, their own troops were basically exhausted, and it would take at least 40 to 50 years to recover.

In this faith holy war, the total number of troops sent by the Kingdom of Ilia was 800,000, and the Life Church of the Kingdom of Ilia raised 300,000 troops. The remaining 500,000 quotas were not many for the nobles willing to participate in the war.

As a viscount, Weilin, plus Qixing Territory as a secondary parish, has 3,000 military quotas.

Some weaker viscounts only have 500 military quotas.

In comparison, the kingdom is quite caring for him.

However, his grandfather, the Duke of Moravia, as one of the two dukes willing to participate in the war, has 50,000 troops.

In addition, with the support of her family and her own strength, Aunt Mialy got 20,000 troops, which is more than some marquises got.

In the past few months, Weilin wrote directly to his grandfather and aunt, thinking that the crying child gets the candy.

In the end, the number of troops in his hands expanded from 3,000 to 20,000, of which 13,000 came from the Duke of Moravia and the other 4,000 came from the Count of Blood Moon.

Regarding the Duke of Moravia's actions, another Duke of East who participated in the war directly publicly affirmed Viscount Qixing's loyalty to the Goddess of Life and was willing to contribute more troops to spread faith for the Goddess of Life.

As for other nobles, they said they had no opinion at all.

In addition to the share of lower nobles, Weilin also needs to prepare 16,000 troops.

After two months of consideration, Weilin finally chose the second battalion of Hebrew, the fourth battalion led by Greg, the fifth battalion of Dosius and the eighth battalion of Imogen.

Of the remaining 3,000-plus army quotas, excluding the Ice Bear Knights, the Star-Moon Knights, and the Priests led by Reverend Lavia, Weilin gave the remaining 1,500 army quotas to his cousin Brian.

When he was pioneering, his cousin Brian was a baron.

He has now become a viscount, and his cousin is still a baron.

No adventure, no chance to make a fortune, this is the true portrayal of ordinary nobles.

Although the cousin has the protection of the family and is free from the oppression of other nobles, he can only rely on himself in building the territory, developing the army, collecting military merits and obtaining war merits.

After careful consideration, Weilin finally chose to help his cousin.

In addition, Weilin also asked Baird to prepare 300 blue and purple horses, 500 sets of knights' full equipment, 1,000 sets of warriors' full equipment and 3,000 black-skinned pigs, and sent them to the Ridge Territory, and sent experienced officers to help his cousin train the army.

"Master, General Eden is here." Hilda pushed open the door of the study, stood in front of the door, put her hands on her abdomen, and said respectfully.

Weilin put down the documents in his hand, sat up straight, and said, "Let him in."

"Yes, master."

After a while, a slightly vicissitudes of life man entered the study, put his right hand on his chest, bowed and saluted, "Lord Eden."

"Come and sit down, we may need to talk for a long time next."

Seeing this, Eden came to the sofa in the left area and sat down.

Looking at Eden who was a little restrained, Weilin motioned Hilda to make a pot of black tea, and then said with a smile: "This is not a military camp, there is no need to sit so formally."

"Yes, Lord." Eden replied respectfully, but his behavior did not change at all.

Seeing this, Weilin smiled helplessly and ignored it.

After Hilda brought in the black tea, Weilin ended his routine inquiries and went straight to the point: "The 9th Battalion is at the bottom of the standing army, and its strength is getting weaker and weaker. You have a talent for training soldiers that ordinary people can't match. I plan to let you assist the commander of the 9th Battalion, Midia, in training the troops. What do you think?"

"Your order determines the direction of my advance." Eden stood up and answered seriously.

Weilin waved his hand, asked him to sit down, and then said: "I think you also know how Media became the commander of the ninth battalion. I never treat those who have meritorious service unfairly."

"In recent months, Baird recommended that I replace the commander of the 9th Battalion, but I declined."

"Although in my opinion, Midea is not a qualified general, I am still willing to use him."

"While assisting him in training this time, I hope you will guide him on how to train troops, how to command troops, and other military-related aspects."

"If possible, I hope you can become friends with him."

Eden was about to stand up again, but was immediately stopped by Weilin's eyes.

"Lord, I will teach General Media everything I know, and I will never keep anything private."

After receiving Eden's affirmative answer, Verin brought a cup of red tree tea to the other person and said with a smile: "Please."

Eden raised his hands, took the black tea from Weilin's hand, took a sip, and put it on the seat again.

Looking at the other party's cautious movements, Weilin smiled and joked: "This is not a formal occasion. You can just do whatever you want. There is no need to make it so solemn."

When Eden saw this, he just smiled awkwardly. When facing the lord, he could never be as calm as other generals.
