Chapter 923: The beginning of war

At the beginning of March 9766 in the Glorious Calendar, an order document from the royal capital was delivered to Weilin’s desk.

In the afternoon of the same day, more than a hundred knights left the Qixing Territory and went to various noble houses in the Cardero Province to read the kingdom's orders, summon the army, and assemble towards the western border.

In less than half a month, the atmosphere in Cardro Province changed. Everyone was preparing military supplies, arming troops, and heading to Luoyunpo in the south of Qixing Leader to gather.

At the same time, the strength and number of German troops led by various noble families were sent to the Qingxing Territory, and were handed over to Baird for summary, and then sent to Verinder's desk.

In the study, Weilin leaned on his chair and looked at the data in his hand, with a trace of surprise in his eyes.

Unknowingly, the comprehensive strength of the nobles in Cardro Province more than doubled.

I recall that when I first arrived, there were only 63 noble families, seven viscount families, and ten barons in the province of Cadero. The other barons were pitifully weak and struggling to win the title.

In just forty-seven years, Cardero Province now has one earl, fifteen viscounts, seventy-seven barons, and more than a hundred pioneer knights.

In addition to the pioneer knights, according to regulations, the viscount needs to send 1,500 troops and the baron needs to send 200 troops.

Judging from the list, it was his cousin Kewell who sent the largest number of troops, with more than 3,300 troops.

The nobleman who sent the smallest number of troops was a baron named Yibel Heiners. There were more than 300 troops. Although half of them were ordinary people, they at least showed their attitude.

As a result, not counting the 20,000 troops he planned to mobilize, the noble coalition alone reached more than 70,000 people, which was more than the number of a standard legion during the Seven Years War between the Kingdom of Ilia and the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom. .

Verin closed the document and handed it to Kyle, motioning for him to take a look.

Seeing this, Kyle reached out to take the file and read it quickly.

A few minutes later, Kyle closed the document and said, "My lord, your prestige in the province of Cardro is unmatched."

"Those who are prestige or not, don't they all want to get rich with me?" Weilindi curled his lips and said with some indifference.

"Lord, doesn't this just show your prestige in their hearts?" Kyle put the document on the desk and replied with a smile, "For most people, they are more willing to follow a powerful and moral person. A noble man, and you are exactly that.”

"Okay, okay, don't praise me." Weilin sat upright and shook his head and said, "Which troops do you think are more suitable for this dispatch?"

"Praying Star Camp, Bingjian Camp, and Lansha Camp, you can bring these three battalions with you." Kyle heard this and replied, "For the remaining troops, I suggest bringing the fourth and fifth battalions. This war requires elites.”

"In addition, I suggest that a battalion of troops be drawn from the Zeferus Legion, plus the Ice Bear Knights, the Star and Moon Knights, and the Griffin Knight Brigade you just formed, plus the troops commanded by the Reverend Lavia. Chaplain Troops.”

When Weilin heard this, he nodded in agreement and said, "Then follow your ideas."

Although he wanted to bring the newly formed 10th Battalion, 11th Battalion and 12th Battalion with him, these three battalions were formed less than two years ago, and it was such a large-scale war from the beginning. After one battle, he was disabled.

If it were the beginning of development, let alone two years of formation of troops, even young and middle-aged men would have to take up weapons to face the enemy.

Today is different from the past. Nowadays, the Qixing Leader can be regarded as a big family and a big business, so there is no need to use this method to train troops.

For the actual combat training of the three battalions, after the war, they can be sent to the Gray Mango Wasteland to clear out the remaining goblin monster clans and kobold clans.

"Dong dong dong"

When Weilin was about to discuss the reorganization plan with Kyle, he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Outside the study, Hilda heard her master's voice, pushed the door open, bowed and saluted, and reported: "Master, Lord Kyle, there is a knight from the Sixteenth Knights who wants to see you."

"The Sixteenth Knights? I remember that uncle Medmonchi and his knights were rotated to garrison in the province of Lensa, right?"

"Lord, the kingdom may have some plans." Kyle thought for a moment and replied.

Weilin nodded after hearing this. It was indeed possible.

Under the Great Purge, the Kingdom of Ilia suffered heavy losses and urgently needed a victory to stabilize the domestic situation and at the same time deter the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom and the Ayers Natural Elf Kingdom.

"Ask the knight to wait in the hall, I will be there soon."

"Yes, Master."

Hilda bowed her head and left the study.

Ten minutes later, Verin and Kyle finalized a plan to organize their troops against the coalition of nobles in Cardro Province.

For these more than 73,000 noble coalition forces, they were organized into three armies. The troops with strong combat effectiveness were organized into the First Army, and the weaker troops were organized into the Second Army. The remaining small noble troops and those who volunteered to lead the army were The pioneer knights who came were incorporated into the Third Army and served as a logistics force.

In the main hall, a high-level silver knight stood in the hall, waiting quietly.

The sound of footsteps sounded, and the high-ranking silver knight looked up, then beat his chest and saluted, and said respectfully: "Camice Rorik, the secretary of the Sixteenth Silver Knights, has met Lord Qixing."

Weilin sat on the main seat and waved his hand: "Secretary Kamis, no courtesy."

Kyle came to stand behind Verin, staring ahead.

Kamis straightened up, took out a letter from his arms, and presented it with both hands: "My Lord, this is a letter from my headman to you, please read it."

Kyle moved his mind and took the letter to his master.

Weilin took the letter, checked that the micro magic circle at the seal was intact, tore open the envelope, pulled out the paper inside, and began to read.

The content of the letter was almost the same as what Kyle said.

In response to the invasion of the monster clan in the Gray Wasteland, the kingdom was ready to strike hard and shock the two countries with a great victory.

Somewhere in the province of Lunsa, the kingdom secretly assembled 300,000 troops, including four infantry corps, two silver knights, and a magic corps.

In addition, as far as Madmonchi knew, the kingdom also deployed a force, including six floating magic warships, a gold knight corps, two infantry corps and three magic corps.

However, Madmonchi did not know where these troops were. The most likely possibility was that they were hidden in the demiplane and not placed directly in the western border of the kingdom to prevent someone from passing on information to the monster clan in the Gray Wasteland.

The second half of the letter was some homely words.

According to the kingdom's transfer order, the 16th Silver Knights led by Madmonchi will be transferred to the Kadlo Province, and its base is 130 kilometers south of Qixing Territory.

"Secretary Kamis."

Kamis replied, "My Lord Earl, what do you want?"

"Tell Uncle Madmonchi that I will hold a banquet at Luoyunpo in half a month, and I hope he can come."

"My Lord Earl Qixing, I will convey your words."

"Be careful on the way back."

"Thank you for your concern, my Lord."

Kamis bowed his head and saluted, then left the castle and headed south.

After Kamis left, Weilin handed the letter to Kyle and said with emotion: "It's time to fulfill the promise."

Kyle took the letter with curiosity and looked at the end. He saw that Madmonchi was writing about his grandson and granddaughter. Then he looked up at his master with a somewhat alert look and said: "Master, don't think of pushing the children to me to take care of."

"No." Weilin's eyes were a little evasive, and he said with a double-minded tone.

Under Kyle's gaze, Weilin's face flashed with embarrassment, and he teleported away from the hall.
