Although Rulans showed up, he simply greeted everyone and then sat up, leaving the rest of the work to Wiggins in the wheelchair.

Wiggins seems to be familiar with this kind of mobilization meeting.

He first gave an inflammatory speech, describing the dangers of the border, the death of Hahn and the misfortunes of many knights, exaggerating the crimes of the enemy, and finally talked about the goal of this war.

Simply put, although the troops in this battle are divided into two parts, the goal is to recapture Chishan Town in the southwest and crush the Black Gold Brotherhood's troops in the southeast.

He no longer talked about taking back the town of Cassiel or even destroying the Polante bandit gang, thus lowering his expectations.

Of the two forces, the Black Gold Brotherhood is more powerful and has greater ambitions. If we relax a little and fail to stop it in time, it will continue to invade the interior of Wushanling.

It is easy to invite gods in but difficult to send them away. Once they come in, it will take more energy and incur more losses to get them out.

Therefore, in this battle, the most troops were deployed in the southeast direction.

After some debate, the coalition forces to attack the Black Gold Brotherhood will be led by Kabir, the leader of the Second Knights, as commander, and Barrington as deputy commander.

But obviously, the Hyde family was not satisfied with this arrangement. They felt that Barrington should be the commander of the southeast war. After all, the earl on the border made the greatest contribution.

For this reason, Alan and Negan, who were attending the meeting, argued with Wiggins and others for a long time, and finally decided to let Alan and Kabir have a duel, and whoever wins will take on the role of commander.

Roning really didn't expect that assigning a commander would be related to a duel. Isn't this equivalent to fighting yourself before fighting the enemy?

If they were not careful during the duel and both of them were injured and unable to participate in the battle, wouldn't that mean they would suffer losses before they even hurt the enemy? Roning didn't understand it anyway, but it seemed that others thought this arrangement was more reasonable.

So, halfway through the meeting, everyone ran out of the fortress to watch a duel.

Fortunately, the final result is good.

Kabir defeated Alan and took the commander's seat, and neither of them was seriously injured in the duel, which did not affect the subsequent war.

However, it is obvious that Alan and Negan are still not satisfied with the result, and it is unknown whether there will be any unexpected trouble later.

Compared to the war in the southeast, things in the southwest are much easier to deal with.

According to convention, when someone from the Wushan family goes to war, he will be given the title of commander. This time, Luo Ning is leading the team, so he is naturally the commander.

The key lies in the selection of the deputy commander.

Lulans had previously planned to have Toru, Kabir and Marvin assist Ronin, which is almost the same as deputy commanders, but now Kabir and Sandro have gone to the Eastern Front, leaving only Toru and Marvin.

Fortunately, one of these two people is the leader of the First Knights, a Golden Knight, who is strong enough; the other is one of the few viscounts in Wushan Territory, with sufficient qualifications and strength.

No one had any objection to letting them serve as deputy commanders.

After the commander's issue is determined, the next step is to divide the troops in detail, which is also a controversial task.

The nobles could all see that facing the Black Gold Brotherhood in the southeast would be a tough battle, and there was also a struggle for command, which made it extremely complicated.

As for the Western Front, although in their eyes Roning had no battlefield command experience and was like a rookie, fortunately he had the assistance of Toru and Marvin. Considering Roning's recent performance, he should not be worse than Wiggins.

So after comprehensive comparison, they are all willing to come to the Western Front to face the Polish Bandits.

After all, the soldiers sent to the battlefield, no matter what their quality, are the property of the nobles. Who wouldn't want to lose less? If you are lucky enough to win the battle, maybe there will be some benefits.

The issue of team allocation was debated from morning to afternoon, and was not finally finalized until the sky was filled with sunset glow.

The distribution of troops on the eastern and western fronts was roughly 70:30, and the powerful knights were basically on the eastern front.

If Corian hadn't said that there was a golden knight on the opposite side, Toru probably wouldn't have arranged for him to come over.

Such an arrangement obviously did not take into account the variables of the battle situation. What should they do if the Polante Thieves' Group suddenly had two more Golden Knights?

At the meeting, Luo Ning raised this possibility.

But Wiggins can mobilize very few golden knights. Among the five leaders of the knights, only Toru and Melonica are truly gold-level, and there is also Kabir who can fight against the golden knights in a one-on-one duel.

Kabir was the commander of the Eastern Front, and Melonica was responsible for Rulans's safety, and neither of them could be transferred to the Western Front.

In desperation, Wiggins could only arrange two more Silver Knights to the Western Front.

Anyway, the gold level is not invincible. Several silver knights joining forces have a great chance of dealing with the gold knights. Even if they can't win, a draw is enough.

"Marvin, Philip, Thorstein, Corrine, Vitorino..."

Roning counted and found that there were five silver knights on his side. In addition, these nobles might have silver-level vassals under their command. If they were also brought to the battlefield, the number would be quite considerable.

Together with the three men under Ronin, Redar, Elrond and McKen, even if two more golden knights appeared in the Port Thieves' Gang, it would be enough to deal with them.

The high-end combat force is strong, and the number of professional knights exceeds one hundred. Together with the cavalry, infantry, and archers, if all are counted, the estimated scale is two thousand.

In addition to the main force, there are also grooms, craftsmen, transportation, camp construction and other logistics personnel accompanying the army, who probably number tens of thousands in total.

Luo Ning suddenly became the commander of a combat force of more than 10,000 people.

"Luo Ning, don't forget our agreement!"

At night, Wiggins found Roning and told him in person: "Although there was an accident in this plan, the people I arranged for you are enough. It shouldn't be a problem to take over Chishan Town!"

What he was still thinking about was the iron mine in Chishan Town.

"Don't worry, father. I will do my best to take back Chishan Town."

Ronin was confident. "But father, in order to win this war, I even pulled out my only knight squad. Although I have gathered all the participants, I am still short of food, fodder for horses and other supplies. You have to help me."

"That's easy!"

Wiggins readily agreed: "Leave the logistics to Galil. I will let him know. All the food, fodder and logistics needed by Wubei Territory during this expedition will be borne by Wushan Fort!"

Generally speaking, vassals had to bear their own material expenses when they went to war with their lords. Although some lords provided support, this was relatively rare.

As for Wiggins, he still expected his son to develop the iron mine in Chishan Town to bring him huge profits in the future, so he naturally didn't care about the consumption of these materials.

This just happened to be what Ronin wanted.

If he were to be responsible for the logistics of the Wubei Knights' Squad, he would also have to recruit serfs. In addition, he would need to purchase a batch of food from outside. After all, Wubei did not have a surplus of food.

Now that Wushanbao is responsible for the logistics of his team, it saves a lot of trouble and energy.

Just like that, the lively aristocratic meeting ended successfully.

The nobles hurriedly left Wushan Fort the next day and returned to their respective territories to begin the final adjustments.

As time approaches the end of June, the teams sent by the nobles set out one after another, marching towards their respective battlefields in a mighty manner. (End of this chapter)
