Lord: Harvest two talented teenagers at the beginning

In the next three days, Weilin and Elsa reached an agreement. The Kingdom of Teton allowed the 15th Army of the Fourth Legion of the Expeditionary Force to recruit soldiers within the territory of the Kingdom of Teton, and Weilin introduced the queen to his grandfather.

Weilin didn't care at all about what kind of deal these two old foxes would reach. He just wanted to accumulate enough merits to be promoted to earl before the end of the war.

On April 9758, 4 of the Glorious Calendar, the 11th Army with troops set out on a march that stretched for hundreds of kilometers.

In the center of the army, Weilin stroked Xiaohong and wondered where to recruit soldiers in the King's Lynn area of ​​the Teton Kingdom.

The 15th Army has 17,383 main soldiers, 11,927 Crusaders, and the remaining 200,000 are vassal troops, including 160,000 combat soldiers, divided into four armies: the Black Rock Army, the Thousand Fort Army, the Badak Army, and the Means Army.

When the vassal army was first formed, there were only 3,000 people.

In five years, the number of vassal troops controlled by the 15th Army reached 200,000.

Controlling 200,000 vassal troops with only 30,000 direct troops, I wonder if anyone else in the expeditionary forces could have achieved this feat except through force.

With the recruited Tetons, Weilin planned to form a separate army, but he was stuck in the choice of the general to lead the troops.

Lower-level officers can use Ansas and Germans, but middle-level officers and above cannot do so, otherwise the force will easily get out of control.

"Find some time to talk to my cousin and see if I can borrow Adrian."

For the army formed by the Tetons, Weilin prefers to have people from the expeditionary force serve as the main general and deputy general, and the middle-level officers can be selected from the Crusaders.

For the first batch of Teton warriors, Weilin planned to recruit 6,000 people from the King's Lynn region and another 4,000 people from the Santa Marta region, totaling 10,000 people, to form an army.

The army continued its march at night.

The army will not rest until it reaches the regional capital of King's Lynn.

After three days and two nights of marching, the 15th Army arrived at King's Lynn, the capital of the King's Lynn Region.

At the invitation of the Governor of King's Lynn Region, Weilin brought hundreds of Ice Sword Battalion soldiers to King's Lynn City.

Outside the city of King's Lynn, nobles from various provinces under the jurisdiction of King's Lynn gathered here, wanting to meet Weilin and use this opportunity to send their family members into the 15th Army.

Queen Elsa raised the butcher knife in the royal capital, causing the nobles in various territories to tremble in fear and urgently need to find a new backer.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves in the distance, many nobles stopped talking and straightened their clothes.

A moment later, Weilin arrived outside the city and looked at the hundreds of nobles lining up to welcome him with a puzzled look on his face.

"Lord Weilin, I am Rodney Strachey, the governor of King's Lynn. On behalf of the more than 30 million people in King's Lynn, I welcome you." A white-haired young man bowed with a smile.

Seeing this, Weilin dismounted, walked up to the other party, politely returned the greeting, and said with a smile: "General Rodney, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am recruiting soldiers in the King's Lynn area this time, and I still need your help."

"Lord Weilin, please rest assured that even without the Queen's order, if you want to recruit soldiers in the King's Lynn area, I will do my best to help you."

"Hahaha, Governor Rodney, you are an honest person. I like you."

The two exchanged greetings and then entered King's Lynn City with the support of many nobles.

Inside the manor, after several refusals, Weilin looked helpless and sat in the main seat under everyone's gaze.

Seeing this, Rodney sat aside with a smile on his face and waved to the maid to bring the carefully prepared food.

This welcome party is different from the traditional banquet in that it chooses a way to determine the seating order.

Looking around, based on the distance of the seats, Weilin could easily judge that those nobles held an important position in the King's Lynn area, and those nobles played supporting roles.

Halfway through the banquet, at the right time, Rodney told the purpose of the trip.

Weilin picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said calmly: "Archon Rodney, I want to know whether you want to submit to Queen Elsa, or choose to support the heir she designated."

As soon as these words were spoken, the banquet instantly became quiet and the noise disappeared without a trace.

Upon hearing this, Rodney waved his hand and asked all the maids to leave.

When the door closed, Rodney stood up and bowed to Weilin.

In the Teton Kingdom, a ninety-degree bow is the highest form of etiquette for a noble to show respect to someone he respects.

Seeing this, Weilin stood up and helped Rodney up, and said with great concern: "Steward Rodney, why are you doing this? Please sit down."

This action made all the nobles present put down their wine glasses, sit up straight, and look at him with respect.

Before Weilin helped Rodney up, they had nothing but respect for this high-ranking member of the expeditionary force.

But after Weilin took the initiative to help Rodney, they showed respect to the expeditionary ambassador.

Rodney acted calmly, with a pleading look on his face, and said, "Lord Weilin, please show us the right path."

"Kings Lynn is the eastern gateway to the central Teton region, and as an outsider, I understand your concerns."

Having said this, Weilin paused and looked at the expressions of the crowd. Everyone's face was filled with worry, worry about their own fate and the survival of their family.

A few months ago, thirteen families were destroyed and nearly ten thousand people were executed, which aroused their fear of the Queen of War.

It seems that the former Queen Elsa is about to return, and the Storm Church that existed as a check on her has been destroyed.

After several months of silence, no noble would think that she had stopped her activities. The only possibility was that she was "sharpening her knife" and waiting for the right opportunity to destroy their family.

As for resistance, they had lost the courage long ago, as the aristocratic nature of compromise always bound them.

"I can't understand Queen Elsa."

"I tell you frankly, resistance will only lead to death."

"If you are willing to listen to me, then go and pledge your allegiance to the third princess, Elbella."

Everyone looked at each other, wondering why Weilin would say such a thing.

In their opinion, the third princess, Elbella, was born in an unlucky way and has always been unpopular. Wouldn't she die faster if she relied on her?

You have to know that even the four most favored princesses are "dead", so how can an unappreciated princess still protect them?

From their expressions, Weilin already knew what they were thinking.

If it hadn't happened, he would have been the same as these nobles.

But as an insider, he knew how much Elsa valued Elbella and was willing to kill her own daughter for this.
