Lord: Harvest two talented teenagers at the beginning

In the Rostock City Lord's Mansion, Weilin received an order from the Fourth Legion, ordering him to attack the satellite city of Iquique.

The city of Iquique was built on a mountain, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. It had a garrison of more than 20,000 people. The general defending the city was named Harvey, an Eight-Seal Knight who was from the palace garrison of the Kingdom of Geman. His eldest son followed the fourth prince of the Kingdom of Geman on a diplomatic mission to the Angoya Empire.

"Someone is coming."

The two silver-level mid-level knights standing outside the door entered the hall, knelt on one knee, and waited for instructions.

"Go and invite General Iliff, the commander of the Mines Army, and General Feiri, the commander of the Black Rock Army."

"Yes, Lord Lord."

After the two silver-level mid-level knights left, Weilin stood up and stretched.

Five days had passed since the capture of Rostock, and the other three directions had already completed their objectives. The 15th Army suffered the least losses, with only 500 people killed. The 16th and 18th Armies suffered the greatest losses, with more than 13,000 people killed, most of whom were vassal troops.

In this attack on Iquique City, Weilin planned to let Iliff, a low-level warrior of the Holy Seal, be the commander-in-chief, and the Black Rock Army's chief general Feiri would assist him. He would also arrange a mid-level soul arcanist to be the military supervisor. If Iliff was found to have second thoughts, he would be killed on the spot.

Although Weilin expressed his trust in Iliff on the surface, he was still extremely wary in his heart. Dead spies were not uncommon in the war history of the Kingdom of Ilia. Only after Iliff had withstood enough tests would he feel safe and bold to use him.

In less than a moment, Iliff and Feirui arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, saluted to Weilin, and sat down on the chairs.

"General Iliff, how many soldiers does the Mines army have now?" Weilin looked at Iliff who was sitting in the first seat on the left and asked.

Upon hearing this, Iliff stood up and replied respectfully, "Sir, after five days of reorganization, the Mines Army has absorbed more than 2,000 professionals from Rostock City. In addition to the 4,500 professional captives you transferred, the Mines Army now has 11,253 registered soldiers."

"As expected of a military family, your efficiency in organizing the army is so strong." Weilin smiled and praised.

Iliff bowed his head and replied, "Your Excellency, you are too kind. Without the military merit system you implemented, I would not have been able to organize an army in such a short time."

"You don't have to be modest. I still recognize your ability, otherwise I wouldn't have recruited you."

Waving his hand to signal Iliff to sit down, Weilin took out the military order document issued by Marquis Rodent, the commander of the Fourth Legion, and said straight to the point: "I have asked you two to come here because I have an important task to assign to you."

"Sir, please give your orders." The two men answered in a firm tone with respect in their eyes.

Seeing this, Weilin began to speak: "According to the order of the Legion Headquarters, our army's next target is the city of Iquique. I believe that you, General Iliff, are familiar with the defensive layout of this city."

"My lord, when I was the deputy general of the defense of Geman City, the defense of Iquique City was deployed by me. But after several days, the garrison stationed in Iquique City may have changed the defense deployment, but the changes in a short time are limited. I am confident that I can capture this city within five days as a proof of my loyalty to you." Ilife said with a serious face.

Seeing that Iliff had expressed his attitude first, Weilin nodded with satisfaction and continued, "For this attack on Iquique City, I plan to have you as the commander-in-chief, with the Black Rock Army's chief general Fei Rui assisting you, the Black Rock Army's deputy general Carlisle as the battlefield probability executive officer, and Master Bartlet as the accompanying mage."

"This detachment is made up of the Mines Army and the Black Rock Army, with a total of more than 60,000 people. I hope General Iliff can give me a surprise."

Iliff said without hesitation: "Please rest assured, sir. I will take down Iquique even if it costs my life."

The Black Rock Army's commander, Fei Rui, stood up and replied, "I think the same of you."

"Then I wish you two a victorious return."

Iliff and Feri received the military order and left the city lord's hall.

After finishing his military duties, Weilin opened the demiplane passage and walked straight in.

In the demiplane, Weilin looked at the flourishing tree of life, breathed in the fresh air, and felt unprecedented comfort.

"Sha"

Looking up at the sky, dozens of griffins appeared in the air, landed around the Tree of Life one after another, lined up in a long queue, waiting for Weilin's touch.

Weilin sat on the grass and waved the first female griffon over, gently stroking the hair on her head.

"We don't want that wandering griffin anymore."

The female griffin shook her head subconsciously when she heard her master's words.

"Hahaha, it seems that you love your spouse deeply. Maybe he is enjoying himself there?" Weilin touched the female griffin's chin and teased with a smile.

“Shasshasha”

Hearing the protest in the other's tone, Weilin just smiled gently and did not chat about her spouse.

In a sense, Xing and his two spouses grew up under his watch. Although he almost threw them into the iron pot, didn't that happen?

Several months have passed and there is still no sign of Xing coming back. I don't know if he has really gone to enjoy himself. I just hope that when he comes back he won't be as fat as a ball, otherwise I will have to lock him up in a small dark room and let him starve for a few months.

When Weilin thought about riding a fat griffin, he felt that he couldn't afford to lose face.

……

On April 9756, 4 of the Glorious Calendar, the Mines Army and the Black Rock Army were combined into a detachment led by Iliff, which left Rostock and headed towards Iquique, 3 kilometers away.

Three days later, with the joint efforts of Iliff and Bartley, the Archbishop of the Church of the God of Beasts in Iquique City was beheaded.

The divine shield was broken, and the city wall that blocked the army became a small ravine that was easily crossed.

In less than half a day, the city of Iquique fell. At Iliff's persuasion, nearly 10,000 defenders surrendered their weapons, more than 3,000 nobles and their guards fled the city, some soldiers took off their armor and hid in residential areas, and about 4,000 people died in the siege and mopping-up battles.

After entering the city of Iquique, Iliff first sent someone to report the battle situation to Weilin who was far away in the city of Rostock, and then collected all the property, food, weapons and various training resources, sealed them in the warehouse, and sent his trusted generals to guard it.

As a smart man, Iliff has a clear understanding of his own position. He can lead troops, massacre cities, and communicate with generals at the same level, but he must never reward soldiers without authorization and win over the hearts of the lower-level soldiers. This is a taboo in the army.

In the Rostock City Lord's Mansion, Weilin looked at the report of the Shadow Assassin, then looked at the battle report sent by Iliff, and had new thoughts in his mind.
