In the royal palace of Shuiyue City, the capital of the Parthian Empire, General Elisil of the Parthian Empire held a piece of paper and reported to King Kuturuk: "Your Majesty, there is news from the Heavenly Cult.
This time, the Apulian Empire will send one million troops to join the Eastern Expedition, and the other four empires will each send 500,000 troops to join the Eastern Expedition.
The seven kingdoms will each send 300,000 troops to join the Crusade, and the 32 principalities will send a total of about 2.4 million troops to join the Crusade.
In addition, the Heavenly Church will send one million Vatican troops to be incorporated into the Eastern Expedition Army.
In this way, not counting the troops of the Parthian Empire, the total strength of the Eastern Expedition Army will reach 8.5 million."
The Parthian Empire not only considered itself a Western country, but also proclaimed itself the Parthian Empire.
However, other countries in the Western Continent did not agree that the Parthian Empire had become an empire. Even many countries in the Western Continent did not recognize that the Parthian Empire belonged to the Western Continent.
In addition to the strongest Apulian Empire, the Toulouse Empire had a population of about 130 million, the Le Puy Empire had a population of about 150 million, the Wevard Empire had a population of about 160 million, and the Fana Empire had a population of about 270 million.
The Parthian Empire, with a population of only over 70 million, did not meet the standards of an empire based solely on the hard indicator of population size.
Moreover, with the comprehensive strength of the Parthian Empire, it cannot be ranked first even among the seven kingdoms of the Western Continent.
King Kutuluk frowned and said, "Why did the five empires and seven kingdoms only send such a small number of troops?
The Apulian Empire, for example, has a standing army of at least eight million, and the other four empires all have standing armies of over three million."
General Elisil then said, "Your Majesty, the 8.5 million elite troops from the various countries of the Western Continent, plus the 3 million troops that the Parthian Empire is preparing to send, are enough to sweep across the entire Western Regions, including the Xizhou established by the Han Kingdom in the Western Regions.
Perhaps it was for this reason that the Five Empires and the Seven Kingdoms did not send more troops to join the Crusade."
