The Knight's Journey to the Empire

"Finally, in terms of military strength: the territory's military strength is mainly divided into three parts: the Knights, the Army, and the Navy."

"The Knights and the Army on Sailing Island are now under the jurisdiction of Sir Colbert."

"The Knights are still the same Guardian Knights of the Count of Katis's family. The number has not changed. There are 500 knights in total."

"As for the army, Sir Colbert originally had an army of 2000 people. In addition, the 500 people that the Earl brought from Ganise City two days ago. So the current territory has a total of 2500 soldiers in the army."

"Of course, these land forces are the territory's professional standing army. In addition, the territory also has a security team of about 1000 people."

"However, this security team is mainly composed of ordinary civilians recruited by the lord's mansion. They belong to the militia sequence. Their main tasks are to maintain public security and manage order, so their combat effectiveness is definitely insufficient."

"As for the navy, it was mainly the navy that the Earl ordered Plant to build at that time."

"At the beginning, the Earl asked Plant to build a navy of 500 people. Now, after several months of training, this navy has become quite large and has formed a certain combat effectiveness."

"Moreover, considering that our new territory is isolated overseas and surrounded by the sea, the role of the navy will be of utmost importance in the future. Therefore, after discussing with Sir Colbert and Plant, I decided to increase the navy's strength by 500 more people."

"So now, the total number of navy personnel in the territory is 1000."

"So to sum up, the number of troops currently on [Sailing Island] is roughly around 4000."

……

"Okay, that's my brief report on the situation on Sailing Island!"

"So at the end, I still need to say one thing to everyone: the current development of the new territory is still very fragile. It cannot withstand any disturbances. It needs our joint efforts and joint maintenance to develop healthily."

Woolf ended her speech with a word of encouragement.

Because the construction and development of [Qihang Island] from scratch was built under his leadership, bit by bit, one hammer and one hoe at a time.

Therefore, this new territory, [Sail Island], is like Wolfe’s own child.

In order to ensure that his "own child" can grow up healthy and strong, he is full of expectations and a desire to protect him, fearing that someone might accidentally kill him.

Over there, Countess Katis listened patiently to Wolfe's report and took the lead in applauding him.

After all, strictly speaking, Wolfe was Sauron's subordinate, not a vassal loyal to her, so what Wolfe did was not natural.

But despite this, Woolf did a great job and completed the work perfectly.

Therefore, Countess Curtis took the lead in applauding, not only to affirm Woolf's work results, but also to express gratitude for Woolf's hard work.

“I am very satisfied with the achievements made in the development and construction of [Qihang Island].”

“This achievement is inseparable from your hard work.”

“So here, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you all!”

Countess Katis stood up and performed a gesture of thanks to everyone present.

Seeing this, everyone smiled.

……

"Everyone, we are moving from Ganise County to the [Angliss Islands]. Although this news has been kept very secret, it is inevitable that it will be discovered by those with ulterior motives."

"Although the Kingdom of Essex is currently busy attacking the Principality of Golia, no one can be sure whether the Kingdom of Essex will turn around and pay attention to us after the war in the Principality of Golia is over."

"So we need to have a good discussion now about how to deal with possible attacks from the Kingdom of Essex in the future."

Countess Katis' voice rang out, revealing a fact that no one wanted to face.

Although they have now fled to a deserted island on the sea, the Kingdom of Essex is still like a behemoth, pressing down on their heads.

Although this did not force them to the point where they could not sleep day or night, there was always a pressure on everyone's mind, making them feel uneasy.

"My Lord, I think the best way right now is to expand the navy." As the commander of the new territory's navy, Plant was the first to speak out and expressed his thoughts:

"If the Kingdom of Essex really wants to send troops to attack us in the future, we will stop them at sea, so that we can gain the greatest advantage."

"And if we put them on the island and allow them to land and start a war, then with the limited number of troops we have now, we will have no chance of winning."

"Yes, Lord Earl! I also think what Commander Plant said is correct." Redsas, who was sitting next to Plant, also said: "I even think that all army personnel should be transferred to the navy and participate in navy training."

"Of course, I'm not saying that the army is useless. I think that given the current situation of the new territory, the 500 guardian knights of the family knights and the 1000 members of the security team are enough to maintain the security and social security of the territory."

"As for the navy, we should definitely expand it with all our strength. This is because the navy will be the only place where we have a chance of winning when the army of the Kingdom of Essex attacks us."

Redesas, the former sheriff of Ganise City, finally couldn't resist the temptation and accepted Soran's suggestion and Plant's invitation to become the deputy commander of the navy.

Although the two of them had ulterior motives in making such a suggestion, what they said was indeed an indisputable fact.

Because if the Kingdom of Essex really does not intend to let them go and wants to attack the [Angliss Islands] to capture them all, then the navy is indeed their only hope of victory.
