Lord: Start with the Pioneer Knight

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

Under the "bribe" of various nobles in King's Lynn, Weilin organized the children of nobles who had hidden their names and their followers into a separate camp, separated them from the newly established Alan Army, incorporated them into the logistics force, and handed them over to Pastor Lavia to lead.

For the commander of the Alan Army, Adrian, the guardian knight of the commander of the upper army, Brian, was appointed.

Since Adrian was transferred to train the Alan Army, Brian has been busy with various affairs all day and exhausted.

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

As long as he didn't see it, it was equivalent to non-existence.

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

During the military reorganization, there were many armed resistances, but the heads hanging high at the camp gate told the rest of the Alan 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 Santa Marta Region under the farewell of Rodney, the governor of King's Lynn Region, and many nobles.

Three days later, at the foot of the city of Mailin, the capital of Santa Marta Region, the governor of Santa Marta Region went out with many officials to greet them.

Looking up at the broken city wall, there were still bloodstains on it.

"Lord Weilin, Santa Marta Region welcomes you. The food and supplies needed by your army have been prepared." The governor of Santa Marta Region came to Weilin, bowed his head and saluted, and said respectfully.

After the two sides exchanged greetings, Weilin entered the city of Mailin under the guidance of the governor of Santa Marta Region.

Compared with the prosperity of Kingslyn, Mailin City 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 street are dilapidated, and there are still traces of fighting on the walls.

There are very few pedestrians on the street, and their faces are full of fatigue and fear.

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

The Governor of Saint Mar looked bitter, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "To reply to your words, before the outbreak of the war, Mailin City had a registered population of 360,000, but in less than two months, there were only more than 50,000 people left in the entire city, and with the garrison, there were only 60,000 people."

"Such a large population loss, was it caused by the Storm Church's forced conscription as a strong man during the siege, or was it caused by the liquidation after the city was broken and died."

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

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

However, this is the cruelty of war.

With such a huge population loss, professionals are running away or dying. His recruitment plan in the Saint Mar region can basically be said to be bankrupt.

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

Regarding the entry of the 15th Army, the more than 10,000 garrison troops in Mailin City did not dare to resist. Under the order of the governor, they were transferred to station outside the city.

Three days later, the military noble Marquis Servis arrived in Mailin City, ready to negotiate with Weilin on behalf of the King of the Teton Kingdom, Merezakli, to determine the combat methods of the Teton Kingdom United Army and the Expeditionary Force.

"Ambassador Weilin, before departure, His Majesty the King gave two combat methods." Marquis Servis sat on the right side of the negotiation table, looking at Weilin sitting opposite, with respectful behavior.

"Marquis Servis, please speak."

Seeing this, Marquis Servis no longer politely described the two combat methods in brief language.

The first way of fighting is for both sides to join forces and fight together. King Merezakli of the Kingdom of Teton will serve as the commander of the joint army, and Weilin will serve as the deputy commander of the joint army, jointly commanding millions of troops.

The second way of fighting is to fight separately. The 15th Army with more than 200,000 troops will be responsible for attacking the Rekad region, wiping out more than 300,000 Storm Church Guardians and 100,000 Brela Grand Duchy Expeditionary Forces stationed in the region, and all the captured items will belong to the 15th Army.

It seems that there are two options, but in fact there is only one choice.

As a young commander, Weilin controls more than 200,000 troops and has his own pride. He has a natural contempt for the Teton Kingdom Joint Army and is definitely unwilling to condescend to serve as the deputy commander of the joint army.

Merezakli calculated this point accurately, so he took the initiative to propose two options for the other party to choose, so as to avoid the negotiation into endless waste and make both sides feel resentful.

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 more in the interests of both sides to fight separately."

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

"Ambassador Weilin, I will pass on your words."

Marquis Servis stood up and saluted, then left.

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

"Yes." Kyle nodded after hearing this, and then said, "But this method is a bit cruel and is not good for your reputation in the Teton Kingdom."

"I don't plan to interfere in the internal affairs of the Teton Kingdom. The reputation is useless to me." Weilin said, "Whatever is convenient, it doesn't matter even if the Recard region is turned into a blank."

"My lord, I understand."

Looking at Kyle's eagerness to try, Weilin knew what he was thinking without thinking.

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

Generally, when someone shows this expression, he must be looking forward to the test.

As for what the test is, he doesn't know.

However, if the sky falls, he will support himself. If he can't support himself, doesn't he still have his grandfather?

Three days later, the 15th Army set out, marching for four days and three nights at high intensity, passing through the Saint Mar Region and the Cyprus Region, and arriving at the junction of 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 was in the rear.

Under the cruel selection system, the number of Alan troops increased rapidly.

Every time a city was broken, all professionals must be captured and initially screened. Professionals who were unwilling to change their beliefs were beheaded on the spot, and the rest were all incorporated into the various camps of the Alan Army.

In less than half a month, the vanguard led by Kyle broke through 13 cities in a row, and the number of Alan troops also 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 the army.
