Aurek placed special emphasis on military preparations.
The resources seized from the Stellar Merchants' Guild and the Goldflow Royal Family, combined with years of accumulated reserves, were temporarily enough to sustain their expenditures. However, to conquer the entire Eastern Region, not only were specialized units needed, but corresponding regular legions also had to be deployed for garrisoning and governance.
Future campaigns would require these forces as well.
Winston stepped forward to report.
"In addition to conscripting troops from the empire's homeland, sixteen new military legions have been established across the former Goldflow Empire cities."
"The three million troops from the Western Campaign have been integrated into the Imperial Knights, with standardized equipment issued, forming the first main legion together with the knights."
"The remaining forces are being reorganized, and a merit-based promotion system has been implemented to motivate the entire army."
