Under the order, all the personnel under Leo's command quickly gathered in the palace, and interestingly, whether it was the systematic embodiment of the Pande personnel or the natives recruited by this world, everyone subconsciously or consciously tried to stay away from Joe Victor, who was standing calmly in a corner, and it seemed that the intelligence officers would be faintly ostracized at any time, which may have nothing to do with personality......

In the small circle formed by the three leaders of the Knights of Punishment, Keith glanced at the expressionless intelligence leader a few times, turned his head and touched his nose, and spoke to Fain and Anthony

"I don't like this person, I don't know if it's my delusion, after Victor came back from the imperial capital, the depressing feeling in him has become even stronger, and I still don't understand, what does the adult like about him, this kind of person should not appear in a glorious war!"

The two of them, who were talking in a low voice, stopped, looked up at Keith with some surprise, this was the first time their companion had clearly expressed his dislike for someone, and looked at each other, or Anthony put his arm around Keith and said in a low voice

"We don't like him, but you know, Keith, this man who lives in the dark, his intelligence can give you a head start in the so-called glorious war, and can give those soldiers from farmers, coolies, and merchants' families or husbands a better chance of surviving, so you can alienate him, but don't ignore his importance to adults."

After a few more conversations, seeing that the conversation of several people had attracted the attention of the people around him, Fein coughed lightly and was about to terminate this meaningless conversation, when the familiar footsteps of Leo came from behind the palace, and everyone immediately stopped all movements, and stood up in line again with bated breath

With the scepter in his hand, accompanied by the steward old Garin, Leo sat on the throne with a calm face, and after looking around at the subordinates who greeted him in unison below, he smiled and spoke

"Thank you for being on time, but we're sorry we don't have much time to chat right now, so let's get down to business...... Mr. Victor's information has been read by everyone before, and I will not repeat it, according to the time, I am afraid that the army of the church and Rolf has now been dispatched, regarding the war, today we must come up with a final plan, of course, before that, Finn, my dear friend, now Stormwind and the entire principality can be concentrated high-end military forces, please introduce it to you"

"I'm honored, my lord!"

After a meticulous salute, Finn, who was standing first on the right, strode out with his hand on the hilt of his sword, without the help of any documents, and after a little thought, he spoke directly to everyone else

"Previously, our army expansion operation, because of His Highness's benevolent governance, has received the support and active participation of the people in Stormwind City and even other regions, up to now, we have a total of three regular knights, namely His Highness's Guards [Knights of Punishment] led by me and Keith Antony, 51 people of the [Knights of the Dawn] led by Lord Aldalian, and the Holy See Knights under the command of Captain Alexander [Knights of the Dawn] The expanded will have 150 full-fledged knights, and of course, this 300-strong order of knights is only our ...... in Stormwind."

After saying it in one breath, Finn looked at the silent thinkers, and continued with a sigh of relief

"In addition, all the other nobles belonging to the Duchy can also provide a roughly equal number of knights, among which the 100-man Swan Knights under the command of Earl Lester Crest occupy the majority, in addition to all the knights belonging to the Duchy, His Royal Highness's three allies, the Duke of Lancaster, the Marquis of Hohenzollern and the Marquis of Alston have also made it clear that they will advance and retreat with us, that is to say, with the addition of these three more than 400 knights, the high-end force we can use will be more than 1,000 people for the first time, More than 1,000 regular knights! ”

With that, Finn once again bowed to Leo and retreated to his place, but his words managed to cause a small commotion among the others, whether in the Pande continent or here, more than a thousand regular knights could be called a huge force

After waiting for a while, Leo on the throne tapped the scepter and attracted everyone's attention, and then looked at Professor Pericles, who was first on the left, and approvingly

"To have so many knights, we would also like to thank my chief advisor, dear Mr. Professor, it is his constant lobbying and clear explanation of the pros and cons to the nobles of the principality through letters these days, which has made some wavering nobles finally stand firmly with us, for which I am extremely grateful to the professor!"

After saying that, Leo even stood up and bowed slightly to the somewhat uneasy professor in front of him, which made Professor Pericles flattered and his heart swelled with boundless warmth and deep emotion......

Sitting back down, Leo tapped the scepter in his hand at Marquis El Andréstes, who was standing quietly behind Finn

"The new master of White Moon City, my dear friend and marshal, please come out of the ranks, Fein has introduced our high-end combat power, can you please introduce our standing military power now?"

"As you wish, Your Highness!"

Straighten out his clothes and hold his helmet in one hand, and then salute and speak

"Also because of the expansion of the army and the reform of the conscription system, Stormwind currently has regular soldiers, namely, Champion Swordsmen, 15 full regiments, a total of 7,500 people, and Stormwings a total of 11 full regiments of 5,500 people, and at the same time, after my proposal was approved by His Highness the Wise, we have also formed a militia of nearly 10,000 people, who will receive some training, and when the war needs or the weapons and armor are in place, they will be supplemented into the official legions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Other than that......" Al continued, glancing up at Leo

"Stormwind's newly formed 5,000 Spear Legions, 5,000 Spear Legions, 2,500 Archer Legions, and 5,000 Two-Handed Swordsmen for Assault have been preliminarily trained and armed, ready to fight! In addition, other nobles of the Duchy can roughly put in the same number of soldiers, and the Duke of Lancaster and other three allies have confirmed that they can provide more than 10,000 soldiers, but eighty percent of the soldiers of these nobles are in the nature of agricultural soldiers, and their training and equipment are very different from ours, so it is recommended to use them as consumables or to maintain the security of supply lines."

When Al spoke, many people had calculated in their hearts below, the size of the troops that could be used as the main force of his side exceeded 30,000, and if the reserve militia was included, it reached an unprecedented 40,000, plus the soldiers of other nobles, the strength of the Duchy of Pande in this war reached 80,000

However, this has almost reached the limit of the principality, and you must know that among the countries of Leo, there are only more than 800,000 people now......

"Huh?"

Professor Pericles was the first to wonder, and he touched his chin and looked at Al with a slight dissatisfaction

"Mr. Andrésters, I'm afraid you forgot to count a troop, and you don't mean to offend, but Your Highness has already said that for the people and troops of the minorities, they must be treated fairly in the principality, and I don't know why you forgot to count them, I hope it won't be as ...... as I imagined"

Al turned to the professor and smiled

"Of course not, dear professor, you misunderstood, Edward and Tydamir have the number of troops they belong to...... Well, it's really hard to count the numbers, I'm afraid they need to introduce them to His Highness and you and others in person."

Leo on the throne also laughed when he heard this, made a calm gesture to the confused professor, and shouted loudly to the two big men standing at the end of the crowd

"Edward, and Mr. Bear Slayer, I think you can answer the professor's questions yourself!"

Hearing Leo's order, the two strong men who had never experienced this kind of occasion pushed each other for a long time, and finally Tedamir, who was a barbarian, became stronger, and after pushing Edward out, he secretly glanced at Leo, and then smiled and retreated to his position......

Fiercely gestured to his deputy with a threatening gesture, and met everyone's gaze, Edward stayed for a moment, and then, at the urging of Leo, scratched his greasy hair and said in a loud voice characteristic of highlanders

"Respect and benevolence, in the past few months, Lao Xiong and I have traveled all over the entire northern part of the empire, whether it is the mountains and forests or the wasteland, all the tribes are spreading your benevolence, especially the rich life in my tribe is now envied by everyone, so ......"

"So what? Edward: Did you recruit 5,000 men? Oh my God, that's a terrible number."

The professor next to him asked hurriedly

The tall and muscular Edward struggled to bend down and look at the emaciated professor who rushed in front of him, revealing a laughing and crying expression

"I'm afraid it's much more than that, Mr. Professor...... These damn bastards, these guys who have gone mad from the hunger of the winter, when they heard about His Highness's deeds, they all went crazy, everyone went crazy, maybe just like me did two years ago...... Now, in the camp temporarily allocated by His Highness outside Stormwind City, nearly 10,000 highlanders, barbarians, and other minority warriors from more than 30 tribes have gathered, and ......"

"And what?" The insecure professor never felt that there was a bad thing about having too many troops, and rubbed his hands together and asked with interest

"Moreover, at the instigation of that bastard of Tydamir, and more than several times the number of men, fearing that they would not be able to reap the merits of the army here and not be treated mercially by His Highness, they haphazardly organized themselves into countless ranks and had gone to the forests and hills on the borders of the Principality to ambush the approaching enemy...... Damn, I've heard that a lot of makeshift tribal camps have been formed over there, and even the wild beasts have been caught......"
