Chapter 444: Driving Out the Half-Dragon Man (Part I)

In the end, after the negotiation of several generals, Sun Lin decided to use all the combat equipment and long-range weapon consumables in the materials, including the remaining 20% of the grain and grass in the Western Continental Army, which were originally supplemented to the Central Continental Expeditionary Force and the Western Continental Army.

At the same time, Sun Lin also wrote a book, embezzling nearly 1,000 tons of gold stored on the Treasure Island in the Western Continent for more than half a year, relying on the network established by the Commercial Guild of the Sunset Empire to sell out the gold, and exchanged all of them for Sunset Gold Coins, and then used these gold coins to use the fortress-level castle in the Western Continent - Riptide Castle with the help of the system, and quickly recruited 5 full-scale Sunset Starless Legions, which included 3 to the Longbow Legion with average recruitment fees but cheap maintenance costs. The Heavy Hook Company Legion is very cheap with 2 to maintenance fees, but because Sun Lin chose to recruit more soldiers when he chose to recruit, not only did he not count the star positions that matched the Sun Never Setting Army, but even the equipment that his soldiers were equipped with when they appeared, Sun Lin only exchanged the system for the steel hook and sickle used by the Heavy Hook Scythe soldiers, and the purple-shirted longbow used by the members of the Longbow Guard, so it is estimated that before that batch of materials was transported to the Western Continent, The 5 army that recruited the Sun Never Sets could not be put into the frontline battle, and Sun Lin now had to pray in his heart that the Water Qilin Empire's advance would not be so fast.

Of course, in addition to recruiting these 5 regular legions whose current strength is at the semi-professional level, Sun Lin also used his prestige to recruit 70,000 high-level "levies" who only need to consume grain and grass, but these conscripts are not from Xiyi, but from the small nobles and lords of the original Atlanta Empire who surrendered to the Sunset Empire, as well as the Atlantan people in the coastal area of the Western Continent.

Because Sun Lin had taken in these minor nobles and lords when they were desperate, in addition to depriving them of the exclusive rights of the aristocratic class, the rest of the rights were almost not deprived at all, and not only did they not deprive them, but after the high-level personnel of the Ministry of Civilians entered this territory that had only recently been included in the frontier of the empire by the Great Empire of the Sunset, these members of the Ministry of Civilians also provided them with a number of ways to climb infinitely to gain more rights, which made these lords and minor nobles more firm in their hearts, The idea of going down in a dark line with the great empire on which the sun never sets, so when they learned that the Water Qilin Empire was going to fight, and His Majesty Sun Lin launched a conscription order, these were either really indignant why the Water Qilin Empire came to destroy their future, or the lords and small nobles who wanted to make a splash in this battle immediately used the power in their hands to recruit 20,000 noble private soldiers wearing iron armor and chain armor, holding small round shields and sea battle swords, It also coincided with the formation of these 20,000 noble soldiers into a semi-professional army called the Noble Auxiliary Combat Regiment of the Western Continent, as reported by Assar, the commander-in-chief of the Western Continent Army.

In the coastal area, the Atlantans, who were gradually living a better life than before due to the influence of the maritime trade industry on which the sun never sets, also learned that after Sun Lin issued a conscription order, in order to ensure that their homeland would not be invaded again, these Atlantans who had learned a lesson immediately went to the civic centers in various cities or the castle enlistment halls to report. After a simple screening, the coastal area got a total of about 50,000 Atlanta militia, and the previous 3rd battle of the noble alliance had not been over for long, and most of the equipment captured in this battle of the Sun Never Setting Army had not been reheated, so these 50,000 Atlanta militiamen were quickly equipped with chain mail and crescent hook spears with some battle traces on them, and changed from more than 50,000 Atlanta militiamen to more than 50,000 Atlantar crescent hook spearmen.

For the new force that can be so much more, its number is almost equivalent to the number of the original Continental Army. Asal held the number of soldiers in his hand is the road of "the more the merrier", very happily in the promise to provide him with food and grass, and even in the subsequent battle to provide some high-level armor and weapons sweetness, the more than 70,000 second-line troops are all divided into the defense line against the invasion of the Water Qilin Empire, although the morale of these 70,000 troops is not high, but there is a grassroots officer who does not set the sun to assist in command, and then use some nominal titles to block the stomach of those small nobles and lords, The combat effectiveness of these 70,000 Atlantan soldiers on the 2nd line of the sun is still very impressive, and even if these 70,000 soldiers are disabled in the subsequent battles, it doesn't matter, anyway, the Atlantans under the control of the territory of the West Continent are not much, they are the most populous, and it is not a problem to draw hundreds of thousands of fresh troops from the Atlantan population of up to 70 million, And it is not a problem to equip these soldiers with weapons to become Atlanta Crescent Hook Spearmen: the spearhead of the Crescent Hook Spear The ironclad workshops in the cities in the coastal areas of the Western Continent can be self-sufficient, and as for the battle armor, the ones that were scraped down after the battle on the front line in the future, the batch of materials that were transported, and the ones that have not been reforged are enough for the soldiers.

And the Western Continent was carried out by Sun Lin, and the two sides with unequal numbers of soldiers were also leveled, and even with the help of the city's defense weapons and those wooden fortifications, the soldiers of Sunset were higher than those of the Water Qilin Empire in terms of comprehensive strength: after all, the defensive line set up by Sunset was mostly in the mountains and forests, and the professional cavalry regiment of the Water Qilin Empire, the Qilin Knights, was a waste here.

After temporarily dealing with the broken affairs in the Western Continent and seeing 5,000 griffin knights flying in the direction of the Western Continent, Sun Lin drew out the war sword at his waist in front of the generals, inserted it into the area of the Iberian Basin marked in the map of the Western Regions of the Central Continent above the wooden table, and said to everyone: "Then now, it is time for us to drive these alien miscellaneous people out of our territory. Therefore, the cavalry units and the Cuman cavalry troops in the Yatdarang Mountains, let us drive the Half-Dragons from the Iliba Basin and at the same time teach the Ottomans a profound lesson, I want all the Ottomans to know that when their rulers join the so-called alliance against the sun that has long been broken, they will be on a path of no return! And the anger that the sun never sets on the army in the northwest region of the Central Continent, ! Now it's up to them to bear! ”
