Lord: Harvest two talented teenagers at the beginning

In half a month, Weilin recruited more than 7,000 professionals in the King's Lynn area, 70% of whom were adventurers, more than 1,500 of whom were mercenaries, more than 500 desperadoes and fugitives, and the rest were children of various noble families who died accidentally.

With the "bribe" of various nobles in the King's Lynn area, Weilin organized the noble children and their followers who had hidden their identities into a separate battalion, separated them from the newly established Arakan Army, incorporated them into the logistics force, and handed them over to Pastor Lavia for command.

The commander of the Alan army was appointed by Adrian, the guardian knight of the upper army commander Brian.

Ever since Adrian was transferred to train the Aramean army, Brian has been busy with various affairs all day and is exhausted from coping with them.

When inspecting the military camp, Weilin saw his cousin's predicament and felt bad, so he chose to bypass the army's camp every time.

As long as you don't see it, it's equivalent to not existing.

Under Adrian's iron-blooded military leadership, the 7,000 Alan soldiers were completely transformed.

During the military reorganization, there were cases of armed resistance to training, but the heads hanging high at the camp gate told the rest of the Aramean soldiers the consequences of disobeying orders.

In mid-May, the 15th Army of more than 200,000 troops left King's Lynn City and marched towards the Santa Marta Region, with the farewell of Rodney, the Governor of King's Lynn Region, and many nobles.

Three days later, at the city of Melin, the capital of the Santa Mar Region, the Governor of the Santa Mar Region went out to greet him with many officials.

He looked up at the ruined city wall, which still had bloodstains on it.

"Lord Weilin, the Saint Mar Region welcomes you. The food and supplies your army needs have been prepared." The Governor of the Saint Mar Region came to Weilin, bowed his head and said respectfully.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, Weilin, led by the Governor of the Saint-Mar Region, entered the city of Mailin.

Compared with the prosperity of King's Lynn, McLennan seems particularly deserted.

This once prosperous city has now been destroyed beyond recognition by the war. Most of the houses on both sides of the streets are dilapidated, and traces of fighting are still left on the walls.

There were very few pedestrians on the street, and their faces were filled with fatigue and fear.

"Governor, how many people are left in Mailin City?" Weilin suddenly asked.

The Governor of Saint-Mart looked bitter, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "To answer your question, sir, before the war broke out, the registered population of Mailin City was 360,000, but in less than two months, there were only 50,000 people left in the entire city, and with the garrison, there were only 60,000 people."

"The population loss was so great. Was it because they were forcibly conscripted as men by the Church of Storms during the siege, or were they implicated and killed in the purge after the city was captured?"

The Governor's expression became even uglier, and he stammered, "This... that... maybe it's both."

Hearing the other party's vague answer, Weilin instantly knew the answer.

But this is the cruelty of war.

With such a huge population loss, professionals were running away or dying, and his recruitment plan in the Santa Mar region could basically be said to have failed.

After the dinner, Weilin ordered his troops to take over the defense of Mailin City.

The more than 10,000 garrison troops in Mailin City did not dare to resist the 15th Army's entry, and were transferred to station outside the city under the order of the governor.

Three days later, the military noble Marquis Servis arrived in the city of Mailin, ready to negotiate with Weilin on behalf of the King of the Teton Kingdom, Merezakli, to determine the combat methods of the Teton Kingdom's joint army and the expeditionary force.

"Ambassador Weilin, before we set off, His Majesty the King gave two ways of fighting." Marquis Servis sat on the right side of the negotiation table, looking at Weilin sitting opposite him, his behavior full of respect.

"Marquis Servis, please speak."

Seeing this, Marquis Servis stopped being polite and explained the two combat methods in brief words.

The first method of warfare is for both sides to join forces and fight jointly. King Merezakli of the Teton Kingdom will serve as the commander-in-chief of the joint army, and Weilin will serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the joint army, jointly commanding millions of troops.

The second method of fighting is to divide the forces into two groups. The 15th Army with more than 200,000 troops will be responsible for attacking the Recard region and wiping out the more than 300,000 Storm Church crusaders and 100,000 expeditionary forces of the Grand Duchy of Brela stationed in the area. All the spoils will belong to the 15th Army.

There seem to be two options, but in fact there is only one choice.

As a young commander, Weilin commands an army of more than 200,000. He has his own pride and a natural contempt for the Teton Kingdom's Allied Forces. He certainly does not want to condescend to serve as the deputy commander of the Allied Forces.

Merezakli calculated this accurately, so he took the initiative to propose two plans for the other party to choose from, so as to avoid the negotiations becoming an endless waste of time and causing resentment between the two sides.

Looking at the Marquis Servis sitting upright, Weilin smiled and said, "Sir Servis, go back and tell His Majesty Merezakli that I think it is in the interests of both sides to divide the troops and fight."

"Within seven days, I will lead my army into the Recard region."

"Ambassador Weilin, I will convey your message."

Marquis Servis stood up, saluted, and left.

Weilin put his hands behind his head, turned to look at Kyle, and said, "Can you replicate the feat of forming the Badak Army in the Recard Region?"

"Okay." Kyle nodded and continued, "But this method is a bit cruel and will be detrimental to your reputation in the Teton Kingdom."

"I don't intend to interfere in the internal affairs of the Teton Kingdom. Good or bad reputation is of no use to me." Weilin said, "Whatever is convenient, it doesn't matter even if it means turning the Recard region into a blank."

"My Lord, I understand."

Seeing Kyle eager to try, Weilin knew what he was thinking without even thinking about it.

After more than 30 years of living together, he has a certain understanding of Kyle.

Generally speaking, if someone shows this kind of expression, he or she is definitely looking forward to the experiment.

He had no idea what the test was about.

But anyway, if the sky falls, I will be there to hold it up. If I can’t hold it up, don’t I still have my grandfather?

Three days later, the 15th Army set out and marched intensively for four days and three nights, crossing the Santa Marta Region and the Cyprus Region and arriving at the border between the Cyprus Region and the Recard Region.

Kyle commanded the Alan Army and the Black Rock Army as the vanguard, and the rest of the 15th Army provided the support.

Under the cruel selection system, the number of Aram troops expanded rapidly.

Every time a city was conquered, all professionals would be captured and subjected to a preliminary screening. Those who were unwilling to change their beliefs would be beheaded on the spot, and the rest would be incorporated into the various camps of the Aramean army.

In less than half a month, the vanguard army led by Kyle captured thirteen cities in a row, and the number of Aramean troops increased from 7,000 to 20,000.

In order to maintain military discipline, Kyle transferred a battalion from the Black Rock Army to patrol the barracks every day.

Weilin did not stop Kyle's radical means of expanding his army.
