Black Iron Crown

　　 At this time in Fort Morand, Reiner looked at the heavy goose feathers falling outside through the window of the castle. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. The scale of this snow was the only one he had seen in his life.

　　 Even in the memory of the original owner of this body, there has never been such a heavy snow.

　　 There is a saying in the celestial dynasty that it is a good thing to have a lot of snow in a luscious year, but everything is too much. If the snow falls too much, it will cause a terrible snow disaster.

　　 Due to the blockade of heavy snow, Reiner’s intelligence source was blocked in the castle. For safety, the army had to wait for the snow to stop before he could expel the army to check the situation in the territory.

　　 However, judging from the collapse of the stables in the castle, it is estimated that the life of the residents on the territory will not be easy. The quality of their houses is not even as good as the stables in the castle. It is estimated that it will be more difficult to support in front of such heavy snow.

　　 "My Lord Baron! Three days ago, Sir Merlin's beloved was looted by the Cladders, but there are not many people. He wants to report this to you in person!"

　　Recently, all the knights under Rainer have gathered in the castle to live, so he immediately came to Rainer's room to report to him after receiving the report from the messenger.

　　 "The Cladds looted your village?" Rainer said, looking at the knight in front of him.

　　 "Yes, my dear master, three Clades suddenly appeared in our village. They plundered a farmer's food and fled!"

　　 "I think this is an omen. Perhaps it is not too far away from the clad people going south to plunder. He hopes Lord Baron can be vigilant and guard against enemy plunders!" Sir Merlin said.

　　 "Ding! The mission is released to resist the invasion of the barbarians. As the lord of Fort Morand, you are obliged to protect your people from the barbarians."

　　"Task reward: 300 mu of high-quality fertile land, one hero draw"

　　 "Failure Penalty: Ten Years Reduction in Lifespan"

　　 "This!" Reiner looked at the task released by the system and was a little speechless. This task of md is simply mandatory. It has a ten-year lifespan, and no one will easily abandon it.

　　Rainer was completely planning to transfer all the residents and property of the generals to the castle to spend this winter in a safer place.

　　 But as soon as the mission with the punishment of failure was released, all of Lena's thoughts were lost, and he had no choice but to accept the mission.

"Um... this way." Linus thought for a while, frowned and wiped his lips with his hand, and then said: "Well, I know, I will be vigilant, we will be after the snow is over. Establish a line of defense on the northern border of the territory and try to defend the entire winter!

"Your method is very good, my master, but we don’t seem to have enough troops to complete this plan. Our northern border is at least a dozen kilometers, but we only have dozens of soldiers. Even your subordinates will bring some. Soldiers cannot defend the entire border!"

　　 "I know too!" Rainer yelled in his heart, I wouldn't do it unless the system forced me!

　　 However, Rainer felt his distrust of himself from Sir Merlin's demeanor and tone.

Since Leiner did not control the territory for a long time, these veterans of his father were not convinced by him. Although they had already pledged allegiance to Leiner, it was inevitable that Leiner would treat him because of his youth. Despised.

　　 Even if Rainer had just come back and fought a good fight, he couldn't change his opinion of these vassals much.

　　 "Don't worry, Sir Merlin, I have a solution to this problem. Please trust your prince, I, Rainer Moreland, the legal ruler of Fort Moreland, Baron Rainer!"

Lena felt a little sullen in his heart. Even if he didn't want to, he was very upset that he suffered contempt and distrust after giving the order. At first, he felt that passing time would make these people convinced him, but now for three months. It has already passed. Although they dare not violate their own righteousness, they often express doubts about Lena's orders or taunt them in private.

　　 That's why he said his full identity, to tell the Sir Merlin in front of him who is the real master of this land.

Sir Merland is not bad. His family is a veteran who has served the Merland family for three generations. Those knights who have been loyal to the Merland family only since the days of Reiner’s father are even more arrogant. Oppose or ridicule Leiner, but don't take him in private.

　　 "Uh... well, my master, please see that my family has served the Morland family for three generations, don't let us lose too much in this disaster!"

　　Sir Merlan begged that the northern nobles would face the plunder of the Clades every year, and hunger would make their imperfect bodies explode with amazing power.

　　 In a plunder three years ago, even a baron died in the enemy's attack, and his territory was naturally plundered by the Clades, and there were only a few hundred people left in the territory of Nuo Da.

　　 This is the predicament that the northern lords face every year. In the past, it was extremely difficult to resist the enemy's offensive. Not to mention the snowfall this year, there will definitely be more clads going south to plunder.

　　 He is more inclined to gather all the food and residents to hide in the castle or other hidden places, and they lead the army to guard the castle.

　　 Although Fort Morland is not a solid and unbreakable city, the stone castle is an unbreakable fortress for the Clads. How can the Clads staying in the primitive state of the tribal office be able to break it?

　　 The only thing they need and can do is to rush into the territory of the lords of the north, or to disperse and plunder, or to destroy the noble army, and then plunder the food of the farmers and freedmen to spend the winter.

　　Relatively speaking, hiding the residents and the food is indeed the best way, but Rainer hasn't obtained merit points for a long time, so how could he let it go when there is such an opportunity.

　　 It is not Rainer's cold-blooded. Twenty, if you consider it from other angles, it is a better choice to fight against the Clades outside the territory.

Now Rainer’s own prestige is insufficient, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is not enough to deter other people, plus fighting the enemy can increase the trust and support of the residents of the territory, and other lords will know that there is a baron who led the army. Blocking the enemy is also a great improvement to his reputation.

　　 For the nobles, although the territory is as important as the army, the best thing a noble can leave to future generations is a reputation.

　　Some families are outstanding for their bravery. This is the reputation of their family's generations of ancestors in exchange for blood, and some families are known for their loyalty, which is also the result of their clan's incomparable loyalty. Each kind of reputation is the greatest wealth of a family.

A good reputation makes family members proud and will fight for their lives to maintain the honor of the family, but a bad family reputation will make everyone respect him. There will be no noble family willing to marry them, their family members People will also hate ghosts and dislike new people.

　　 What's more, apart from the tribal warriors, the individual combat effectiveness of the Klad barbarians is not even as good as the slightly trained ordinary soldiers of Rainer.

　　 They only have too many of them to become a disaster that the Northern Territory has to guard against every year. In fact, the largest number of invaders in previous years was not more than 3,000.

　　 However, this is a very large number compared to the cultural circle in the Middle Ages that is similar to Reiner's previous life. After all, the entire Morandburg has only more than two thousand people, and the number of soldiers is even smaller.

　　 There are enemies that are so easy to deal with and can provide merits, of course Leiner will not let it go, so he chose to build a line of defense on the edge of his territory.

　　 As soon as Rainer's plan was passed out, the entire territory was immediately discussed. Although it is not a panic, it is also uneasy. Even the knights under Rainer expressed their doubts about it.
