NOVEL NEXT Chapter 470 1 Army
After the meeting, it was already the next morning.
Everyone left Star-Moon Castle one after another and returned to various places.
Weilin walked out of the castle, climbed up the inner city wall, and looked out to the outer city. On the training ground, his aunt was training the Star-Moon Castle guards.
"What's the situation with the defenders of Star-Moon Castle now?"
"Master, under the training of Lord Flora, the strength of the Star-Moon Castle defenders has improved greatly. Two hundred and thirty-six people have broken through the Bronze Warriors, and five have grown into Silver Warriors."
After Hilda finished speaking, Sisna saw this and added: "Every three days, Lady Flora will summon the garrison on rotation for training, and this has been the case since she served as the garrison instructor of Star-Moon Castle. "
After hearing the explanations from his two head maids, Weilin could feel that his aunt had a strong competitive spirit.
However, this is also a good thing. Under her training, the Star-Moon Castle defenders may be able to catch up with the second-level troops.
"Katarina, you two teach her more."
"Yes, Master." Hilda and Sisna lowered their heads and replied.
After enjoying a moment of tranquility, Verin let his two head maids do their work while he leisurely headed to the griffin's lair.
"Lord." When Eunice saw Verin's figure, she placed the mutated griffon cub in her hand among the soft quilts and stepped forward to salute.
The mutant griffon star sleeping nearby heard the noise, opened his eyes, ran out of the lair, and spread Verin on the ground.
"You are still the same now that you are a father." Weilin stroked Xing's feathers and said with a smile.
“Shasshasha”
Xing rolled his eyes, climbed up from Weilin, picked up his two children, put them in Weilin's arms, and flapped his wings gently.
The two little guys are just like their father, with snow-white feathers on their torsos and blue feathers on their heads and wings.
The mutated griffon cub turned its eyes curiously, looking at the strange creature in front of him without any fear, and gently pressed its head against Verin's chest.
Weilin held the two cubs in his arms and teased the two little guys before entering the nest.
The two female griffons looked at Weilin's figure and screamed happily, expressing their inner emotions.
"Is she pregnant again?" Verin asked uncertainly, pointing to the belly of the female griffon.
Hearing this, Eunice nodded and confirmed: "Yes, Lord, in January this year, Xiaoxue and Xiaoyu were pregnant again."
"It's really productive!" Weilin couldn't help but sigh.
“Shasshasha”
Xing shouted with some dissatisfaction and gently nudged Weilin with his head.
"Okay, okay, let's change the name, call it more children and more blessings, not high yield, that's all."
“Shasshasha”
Seeing his master change his name, Xing accepted this new title.
"I look forward to the day when you can speak soon." Weilin stroked Xing's hair and said with a smile.
By sensing the magic power in the other party's body, Xing is still at the middle level of silver, while his two wives are at the low level of silver. It will take at least twenty years to advance to the gold level.
"Sha"
Xing nodded heavily, as if telling Weilin that he would definitely work hard.
After leaving the gryphon's lair, Verin went to see three wind wolves and two rock monitor lizards.
……
In mid-May, at the border of Xifeng Town in Xifeng County, six battalions of troops led by Qi Xing gathered here.
There were 18,000 warriors, organized in groups of a thousand, in strict formation, with gleaming shirts and armor, and swords, spears, and halberds as sharp as new. The whole army exuded a majestic and solemn atmosphere.
Weilin stood on the high platform made of huge rocks, feeling a sense of heroism.
This army loyal to him is the result of more than 20 years of hard work. I recall that when I arrived in Qixing Territory to open up, my army was less than three digits.
"Lord, all 3,126 soldiers of Qixing Camp salute you."
Cassius, a knight in silver-white armor, stepped forward solemnly, put his right hand on his chest, bent down to salute, and reported loudly to Verin, his voice loud and firm, full of pride and loyalty.
The soldiers in the first three phalanxes beat their chests in salute and bowed their heads to express their high respect to the lord.
"Sir, the 3,116 soldiers of the Third Battalion salute you." Silver senior soldier Yi Deng stepped forward to salute and loudly reported in a low and powerful voice, full of determination and courage.
Greg followed closely, with a gentle but firm tone, and respectfully replied: "Lord, the 3,086 soldiers of the 4th Battalion salute you."
"My lord, the 3,136 soldiers of the fifth battalion salute you." Isius stepped forward and reported loudly, his voice high-pitched and passionate.
"Three thousand and sixty-three soldiers of the 7th Battalion offer you their most sincere respect, Lord." Imogen stepped forward and replied, his tone calm and powerful, showing his firmness and loyalty.
As the last commander, Orion stepped forward, stood beside Imogen, and said respectfully: "The 3,165 soldiers of the 8th Battalion will become the strongest shield in your hands. On behalf of the 8th Battalion, I The Eighth Battalion salutes you.”
All 18,000 warriors kept their salutes, waiting for Verin's next step.
"This battle is aimed at the monster clan that invades the Qixing Territory. Pick up your weapons and bring me victory."
"Loyalty always wins."
The voices of eighteen thousand people echoed in the empty sky and earth.
At this moment, Weilin felt an unprecedented achievement.
"Set off."
Cassius mounted his horse, led his troops, and advanced into the wilderness.
Verin stepped off the high platform, mounted the red phosphorus horse, took the escort and the Silver Wolf Knights commanded by Kyle, commanded the fourth and fifth battalions, and headed towards the Gray Mansions Wasteland as the central army.
The 7th and 8th Battalions serve as the rear army and are responsible for escorting the entire army's supplies and food.
This war was the first war initiated by Weilin on his own initiative.
"It's a pity that the Second and Sixth Battalions need to be stationed in Qixing County and Luming County. Otherwise, what a grand occasion it would be to gather eight battalions of 24,000 troops." Weilin felt a little regretful about this oath.
Hearing this, Kyle said softly: "Lord, this is your first time, but it will definitely not be your last."
"Haha, you're right. This is the first time, but it will definitely not be the last. After all, the garrison is insufficient. After the Qixing Leader develops for another ten years, we will start to expand the garrison and have a standing army dedicated to fighting and training." Wei Lin thought. I can't help but imagine myself commanding an army of tens of thousands.
During the war between the kingdom and the dwarves, as the commander of the 135th legion, although he also commanded 60,000 troops, and the nobles below also obeyed his orders, they were not his direct troops after all.
In addition, Weilin finally understood why some lords would summon their armies every once in a while for a training session. The feeling of facing an army of tens of thousands was something he could never forget for a long time.
