Unknown Knight

Seeing that the lower-class prisoners below had almost finished their discussion, he calmly continued:

"I think you have all thought it through. So I would like to ask you, are you willing to join the army of the Most High God and fight for Him?"

"Yes!" "Of course I am willing to do so. I have never seen such a generous God!" "Yes, yes, I am willing to believe in the Supreme God all my life!"...

Seeing the lower-level prisoners speaking enthusiastically, Aix was very satisfied. He stroked his hands and continued:

"Okay, I declare that from today on, a new legion will be established in the territory. The name of this legion is the 'Atonement Legion'. Please remember your oath today. The Supreme God will favor every devout believer. You will use battle to atone for the mistakes you have made. From today on, the Supreme God's grace will shower you!"

After saying this, he waved his hand, and more than a hundred soldiers who had been waiting for a long time entered the city. These territorial soldiers organized these low-level captives into groups, and took them in batches to bathe and trim their hair and beards, and then changed them into new clothes.

After finishing the work, everyone gathered in the Holy Hall. Under the auspices of the High Priest Velen, these low-level captives held a grand conversion ceremony and a ceremony of allegiance to Aix.

In this way, a new legion in the territory, the "Legion of Atonement", was officially established. The legion was temporarily led by the high priest Velen. This legion was mainly composed of surrendered soldiers. Due to their special status, they were selected from captives who had to surrender to the territory and converted to the Supreme God as a condition. Therefore, they were very loyal to Aix and became a loyal backbone force under Aix.

Aix also selected fifty people from these people to be responsible for supervising the remaining middle-level and high-level captives. These fifty supervisors were rotated regularly to ensure that every low-level captive had the opportunity to participate. The intention of this move was very clear, which was to completely separate them from the city of Berbera to which they had originally been loyal.

From that day on, they moved into clean and comfortable dormitories. The food was also much better than before. Except for the fact that they had no salary, they enjoyed the same treatment as the soldiers in the territory.

That night, the remaining 300-odd middle-level and high-level prisoners discovered that the camp for the lower-level prisoners was empty. It was not until the next day when they saw some lower-level prisoners among the soldiers who came to supervise them that they understood what had happened. It was obvious that the lower-level prisoners had changed their identities and completely defected to Fort Standstill.

In the following days, dramas of oppression and being oppressed, resistance and suppression were played out constantly between these overseers and captives, especially among the new soldiers of the Redemption Legion who had been beaten and abused before.

They all knew that this was an opportunity for revenge specially created for them by the great prophet, and they deeply understood the meaning of the oath in the initiation ceremony: 'Your enemy is my enemy, and I will avenge your hatred', and they hurried to seize this rare opportunity, so many people took the initiative to ask to join the rotation of supervisors every day.

This is terrible for the middle and high-level captives. Not only do they not have enough food every day, but they also have to be careful about the retribution for their own actions. From time to time, they will be lashed with the malicious whip of revenge, which will not only make them feel the burning pain instantly, but also make them regret it for the next few days with dull pain.

Every soldier of the Legion of Atonement who had achieved revenge fell deeply in love with this feeling. What could be more satisfying and satisfying than taking revenge on their enemies? They all felt that joining the Supreme God's Cult was worth it. Both the emotional value and the actual value exceeded their expectations. They told themselves in their hearts that they should cherish this opportunity to be loyal, contribute actively, atone actively, and make progress actively.

With these people setting an example, some of the middle and high-level prisoners began to become active. They were all officers promoted from the bottom. They had risen from the bottom and all of them were extraordinary people with abilities stronger than ordinary people. As they learned more about the situation, they also felt that if they survived in an environment like the territory, they might have a chance to make a name for themselves.

In addition, they were popular among the lower-level captives, and generally did not join in the recent actions to oppress the lower-level captives. Therefore, when they took the initiative to express to the guards their desire to join the Supreme God Cult, the news was quickly fed back to the territory's top leaders.

After discussion, the leaders finally decided to approve some of the remaining captives to join the Supreme Religion, on the premise that these people were officers who rose from the bottom in Berbera City, had no blood relationship with the masters in Berbera City, and were concerned about the territory and willing to join the Supreme Religion unconditionally. Soon, more than 110 people were selected, and only after strict examination by the Religion did they join the Legion of Redemption.

At this point, the number of members of the newly formed Redemption Legion had increased to more than 500 people, almost catching up with the original number of troops in the territory. Aix had to split out more than 200 personnel who originally belonged to the Berbera Navy and let Mathilde lead them. Together with more than 100 people organized by the territory, they formed a navy of more than 300 people.

After a period of rest, the territory's military strength has become even stronger than before. The newly established Redemption Corps and Navy have not only expanded the territory's military strength, but also increased its water combat capabilities, greatly enhancing its strength.

At the same time, the production of weapons and equipment in the territory was proceeding in full swing. After a month of hard work, all elite troops were equipped with standard equipment.

In order not to affect the plan of returning to Tangquan Fortress, Aix decided to capture Zion City as soon as possible, so he convened a meeting of the territorial leaders to discuss how to capture Zion City.

At the meeting, everyone expressed their opinions and put forward many ideas for capturing the city of Zion, two of which were most recognized by Axe.

The first was to use the territory's advantage of being good at digging to dig tunnels outside the city. Through the last battle, the leaders all knew the specific combat power of the Zion soldiers. As long as they could enter the city smoothly, everyone was confident that they could defeat the Zion army in a head-on encounter.

Although this method of siege is easy and may result in the least loss, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Not only does it waste effort, but if it is discovered by the enemy, all previous efforts will likely be wasted.

The second method is to make a small battering ram and carry it directly to the City of Zion. The low wall that separates the city wall of Zion is only more than 30 centimeters thick. If it is destroyed with a battering ram, it can be easily broken in a short time.

In addition, there are many heavily armored infantrymen in the newly formed Redemption Legion. The defensive shield formation they form with broad shields is very professional and has a good protective effect. When they smash the wood to destroy the low wall, the soldiers who climb onto the city wall will not suffer too much loss.

Finally, after everyone's discussion, they decided to use battering rams to destroy the low walls to attack the city. This way, they only needed to prepare simple battering rams in advance and did not require much extra effort.
