Lord Wizard

Chapter 67 Reorganizing the Army

After handing over the supplies obtained from Solent City to Christine, the third-level wizard apprentice took his leave.

Lin Meng did not insist that she stay, but personally saw her off from the lord's mansion.

After Christine left, Eileen returned to Lin Meng's side: "My lord, as you requested, we left the heart of the man-eating flower behind, and we have already sent someone to the Duchy of Kes to contact His Highness Nubia."

"Okay, I understand."

Lin Meng nodded and walked back, saying as he went, "Where's Goss? How's the army's expansion going?"

"We've already sent someone to inform them; they should be here soon."

After speaking, Eileen hesitated for a moment, then asked, "My lord, was that person... the legendary mysterious one?"

"Oh, why do you think that?"

"I just cleaned up the battle traces left in the training ground. It doesn't look like the kind of battle that could be between Great Knights. And I didn't sense any life force field unique to Great Knights on her."

"Yes, you guessed right. She is the mysterious person sent by the organization to contact me. In our exchange just now, her strength was even above mine. I should be more respectful when I see her in the future."

"The master has been defeated!?"

Eileen could hardly believe it.

From the city of Carol, Linmon's life seemed to be smooth sailing, rising from a sinner who lost his territory to a powerful governor who now owns five territories.

But now, it seems that a random, mysterious figure has defeated the almost invincible master in his mind...

The mysterious one is truly terrifying.

"My lord, Lord Goss requests an audience."

At that moment, a guard came to report from outside the door.

"Let him in."

"Yes, sir."

Shortly after the guards withdrew, Goss, dressed in a plain black robe, entered and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Your Excellency!"

"You've come at the right time. How's the situation in Solent City lately? Is the recruitment going smoothly?"

Lin Meng asked.

"Reporting back to you, my lord, we have recruited 3,000 soldiers as you requested, expanding our forces to 7,000. These 3,000 soldiers are composed of newly recruited troops, surrendered soldiers from Solent City, and various forces within the city. With these 3,000 new troops, plus the Sunset Legion soldiers we brought and the 3,000 elite troops left behind by Lord Alfonso before his departure, the city's forces have now reached a scale of 10,000."

"Did those families, chambers of commerce, and mercenary groups cooperate with our reorganization?"

"They dare not disobey. If they dare to act rashly, their families will be wiped out. Since they chose to follow Heris against us, they should now receive the punishment they deserve."

"Goss said coldly."

Lin Meng nodded; he had authorized Goss to do so.

"The Silver Knights have now expanded to one hundred members, while still maintaining combat strength of at least trainee knights. The Sunset Knights have expanded to three hundred members, including trainee knights of level five and above."

"Well enough."

Lin Meng did want to form a Silver Knights order like Nero, but alas...

Gathering five hundred apprentice knights is no easy task, let alone training them to be as at ease as an extension of their own body and to move in unison with them.

"How many knights are there?"

"We came from Winterfell with sixteen knights. During the journey, three knights, including Rogers, were killed. However, six knights from various factions in Solent City still pledged their loyalty to you, sir. They have all been incorporated into our army, so there are nineteen knights in total."

After listening to Goss's reorganization of the existing army in one go, Lin Meng nodded in satisfaction.

Ten thousand people!

This number is still not enough.

pity……

It wasn't that he was unwilling to continue recruiting more soldiers, but rather that if the ratio of new soldiers to surrendered soldiers became too large, it would not only fail to improve combat effectiveness, but could also easily create hidden dangers.

It's not advisable for there to be too much turmoil in Solent at the moment.

"These forces do have some sense. As long as they stay in their territory and don't cause trouble, we don't need to pay them any attention."

After finishing his sentence, Lin Meng added, "Is there anything unusual happening in Winterfell?"

"Ever since the Battle of Solent spread, even Duke Victor, who has always been at odds with us and Marquis Alfonso, has stopped making any rash moves, let alone those who harbor disloyal intentions."

"Goss said."

"Of course he wouldn't dare to provoke us again. If he really angers us, Alfonso and I will wipe out his territory, and the Frost royal family probably won't dare to say anything. This time, our occupation of Solent City, whether it's our own strength or the power behind us, is enough to make them dare not act rashly."

Lin Meng smiled and then said, "By the way, I have now been appointed by the organization as the person in charge of the Kingdom of Aden, and I have the right to recommend mystical apprentices to the organization. From now on, we can use this name to secretly gather experts from all over the country. In addition, we should find a place outside the city as a temporary meeting place for the organization, and we must be as discreet as possible."

"Congratulations, sir! This title will be of immeasurable benefit to us in expanding our network!"

"Goss said excitedly."

The reason why Marquis Alfonso was able to become the number one marquis in the Frost Kingdom in just a few years, even surpassing Duke Victor, was because he could use the name of the Mystic Organization to recruit and win over experts and nobles in the kingdom. Now that Lin Meng also has this right, it proves that his development potential is no less than that of Marquis Alfonso in the Frost Kingdom.

"Alright, you can take care of the matters concerning people's livelihood first. I've already applied to the organization, and in a few days the organization will send a team of peripheral personnel to assist me in managing Solent City. Then you'll have an easier time."

Lin Meng said.

"Yes, sir."

……

The support team sent by Ryan arrived very quickly.

A team of more than thirty people has appeared in Solent City.

All thirty-odd people were elites, without exception; even the weakest among them possessed the strength of a trainee knight.

As soon as these people arrived, they were immediately led into the lord's mansion by guards who had received instructions from Lin Meng.

"Zuoqiu, what do you think of the vice-captain of your third squad? Is he easy to talk to?"

In the reception room, a knight in black armor asked another knight beside him somewhat nervously.

"I haven't had much contact with her, but I've heard Nero say that she's easy to get along with and not the kind of person who makes things difficult for others."

It is known as the Knights' Way of Zuoqiu.

"That's good. We'll probably be following him for the next few years. If he's difficult to please, it'll be a real headache."

"Hel, even so, you still need to be careful. His ability and courage to become the lord of five regions in such a short time are not something that ordinary people can possess."

"You just said he was easy to get along with?"

The black-armored knight, Hel, widened his eyes.

"I simply trust Captain Nero. You should know that Captain Nero's assessment of people is always extremely accurate."

Zuoqiu smiled and said.

"That's good. Right now, I just want to do more missions and earn more points so that I can break through to the Great Knight level as soon as possible."

"With points doubled now, it's definitely a good time to earn points... However, the war between Blue Flame and Rising Sun... is also quite dangerous."

"So we brought a lot of men with us, because more people means more strength."

Hel chuckled.

"Alright, the captain should be here soon."
