Over the next week, Martin methodically deployed his forces, selecting five thousand men from the Loyal Valley and promoting them one by one to knights, thus establishing the basic framework for five legions.

However, after this operation, his more than one million energy was completely consumed.

At the same time, the knights distributed in the five viscount castles and military camps gradually gathered outside Yulong City.

Including them and the several escorting battalions, the total number was about 5,000. Martin selected 1,000 of them and, along with these 5,000, began to form the Second Legion, first establishing its structure and then gradually replenishing its forces.

After making all these arrangements, Martin called Yoder, who had just arrived two days ago, to his side and solemnly entrusted him with the affairs of Yulong City. He then instructed him, "Yode, the affairs of Yulong City are now in your hands. Familiarize yourself with the affairs as soon as possible. If anything happens, be sure to report it to me immediately."

After saying this, Martin led his army on a journey towards the territories of the fourteen nobles.

Although they encountered several assassination attempts during the march, fortunately they were escorted by the dragon knights Eric and Hefna, and they were able to escape danger safely every time.

However, despite successfully resisting the assassination, he still lost an S-level magic defense item.

However, it is fortunate that the energy obtained from the assassins was quite considerable, replenishing about 700,000 energy points.

Martin's army first arrived in the Earldom, which had two complete knight orders and another half stationed at the Earldom's main transportation routes.

Considering the strategic layout, Martin did not ask them to assemble, but let them continue to stay where they were to ensure the safety of the transportation route. Then, the army marched straight to the Earl's Castle.

After entering the Earl's Castle, Martin allowed the Earl's relatives to continue living there, but arranged for knights to guard them in case of any unexpected situations.

Then, Martin summoned administrative officials at all levels in the earldom and solemnly warned them to maintain order in the territory and not to allow riots or other unstable situations to occur.

After that, Martin never stopped, leading his army through the fourteen noble territories at lightning speed. Every time he arrived at a place, he integrated and deployed the local military forces.

After much hard work, he finally managed to gather five legions. Adding the First Legion already stationed at the border, Martin now had six legions under his command. Thus, his plan to expand the legions was successfully completed.

In order to firmly consolidate his control over the western border, Martin began to carefully plan the deployment of troops.

He carefully selected six legion commanders - Betan, commander of the First Legion, De Luna, commander of the Second Legion, and Alton, commander of the Third Legion, to lead their respective legions and deploy them in the border areas.

This arrangement is intended to build a solid line of defense to closely guard against potential threats from the royal territory.

As for the other three legions, Martin made a clever layout. The Fourth Legion, led by its commander, William, was stationed at the throat fortress in the central west.

The strategic position of this place is extremely important, like the heart of the West. The garrison of William's Legion ensures the smooth flow of internal transportation and military dispatch in the West.

The Fifth Legion, under the command of Loga, and the Sixth Legion led by the newly promoted Sky Knight Mander, were stationed in the Earldom 20 kilometers away from the Iron Pass.

The Iron Pass is adjacent to the Dwarf Kingdom and is a key line of defense against Dwarf invasions. In case the Kingdom Legion cannot resist, the existence of these two legions can effectively resist the possible threats posed by the Dwarf Kingdom.

Thus, Martin had initially achieved a rough control over the Western Territory. Although some noble territories in the Western Territory were still outside his sphere of influence, Martin did not rush for success.

He knew very well that he should proceed steadily and slowly digest these newly acquired territories.

Through careful governance and development, the resources and manpower of these territories can be transformed into a powerful force of their own, further strengthening their own strength, and then slowly and steadily achieving full control of the Western Territory. If it is too hasty, it will easily backfire, and those nobles and royal families will not sit idly by and watch Martin unify the Western Territory.

Time flies, and two months have passed by the time Martin has completed all these matters properly.

Although the newly formed legion still needs a lot of time to run in before it can truly exert its due powerful combat effectiveness, for Martin at this moment, time is precisely his most abundant resource.

During these two months, Roland was also busy. He regularly delivered the Chamber of Commerce's lucrative profits and Luoqiu Town's tax revenue to Martin.

Not only that, as Martin took over the fourteen noble territories, the huge wealth accumulated in these territories was also taken into his pocket.

As a result, Martin is now rich and powerful, with sufficient energy reserves, and no longer has to worry about energy shortages.

[Sworn Guards: 7,003]

[Contracted Dragon: 3]

Energy Reserve: 4,573,211

Martin stared at the interface in front of him that displayed the energy values, thinking about using this energy to upgrade to a legendary knight.

After all, according to legend, knights of this level can control the power of law. Once they have it, they will have the confidence to fight against those hidden old monsters.

As for whether there are knights of a higher level than the legendary knights, although Martin has never heard of it, his intuition tells him that such a knight may exist.
