Black Iron Crown

Reiner stood in the open space of the castle, where all the troops in Fort Moreland gathered, including 200 militiamen who were also conscripted here, and they would carry out a clean-up operation against the Klade people.

"Our territory is invaded by the Klades every year. I believe everyone has had enough. We must protect our territory and eliminate the disaster of winter in summer!"

"Therefore, we have to take advantage of the present to wipe out the Klad people scattered in the frigid forest one by one! Now that we have a strong force, it is enough to deal with them scattered, so I decided, today, I will lead you into the frigid zone The forest wipes out the Klades!"

Sending troops always needs a high-sounding excuse, so Leiner used the excuse of eliminating the hidden dangers of winter in advance to prepare to enter the forest for massacres, and used them to accumulate merit points to deal with future chaos.

As for the military pay, there are still more than 600 gold coins stored in the castle, which is enough to support the military pay of the existing army for more than two years. Even if there are more troops, it is estimated that it can last for more than half a year. , he felt that based on the current situation, it might not take the first half of the year, and Earl Zhebo might have to take the next step.

What's more, the blacksmiths have not been idle during this period, and they have produced a lot of armor, and it will cost a lot of money to sell it in the inland. Although the route to the inland has been blocked by Earl Zhebo, the northern border How can it be possible to cover every aspect of the border line that is hundreds of kilometers inland.

The big deal is not to take the ready-made road and take the bumpy wilderness. At most, it will just increase the time and distance of the round trip. Anyway, Leiner is not in a hurry to pay the military salary for the time being, and he can afford it.

At this time, Reiner was wearing a delicate chain armor, and the iron armor was also covered with the same iron armor as the sergeants. This kind of weight was indeed a bit heavy, but it was not a burden for his current body.

Behind him were more than 30 horse-drawn carriages carrying logistical supplies. These horse-drawn carriages were not very suitable for traveling in the rugged forest, but there was no way, the army had to bring these horse-drawn carriages.

Riding on the back of a draft horse, Leiner wore a long sword around his waist. This time, the sergeants came out in full force, and a full eighty sergeants followed in a neat formation behind Leiner.

The Scarlet Griffon knights also rode draft horses, as did all the knights in Morland County. The rugged forest paths were not suitable for galloping war horses at all, so they all just rode draft horses for transportation, and waited until the real battle At first they all dismounted.

Although the armor is heavy, it will not have a serious impact on them. After all, they are all elites who have undergone long-term training.

For example, many people in later generations said that the armor is too heavy to be suitable for long-term battles. There is no such thing as being unable to get up after falling down.

In fact, the knights who wear armor and fight on foot are even lighter than modern soldiers. Modern soldiers usually have to carry more than 30 kilograms of equipment and other items, while the knights of Fort Moreland only need to carry 10 kilograms. The armor weighed more than a kilogram, and the weight was distributed all over the body, so the burden would not be too great.

What's more, they have received strict knight training since childhood, and this burden is nothing to them.

As for the Scarlet Griffon Knights, let alone, the blood of the Griffin infused into the body has twice the strength of ordinary people. Their forty kilograms of plate and chain composite armor plus the inner leather armor is nothing at all. , They can even walk like flying and even run fast wearing this set of armor.

Even the double-layer armor worn by the Moreland sergeants only weighed 27 kilograms, and they could completely wear this armor for more than two hours of fierce combat.

Fort Moreland is not far from the frigid forest. As soon as it got dark, they had already reached the junction of the frigid forest and Fort Moreland.

The camp was set up, and each tent was arranged strictly according to the requirements, extending in all directions. Eighty Merland sergeants, two hundred militiamen, fifty long-range troops composed of regular archers and hunters, and fifty mixed soldiers Armed soldiers of new veterans, this is the entire force of this expedition.

As for the remaining 20 or so armed soldiers, they are all stationed in Fort Moreland. The five castles in Reiner are all guarded by militiamen and some of the grooms. There will be no surprises in the absence of strong foreign enemies. Condition.

The camp was brightly lit, with torches and fires blazing like this, and the sentries watching the night vigilantly looked around, looking out for things that might pose a threat to the camp.

Lying in a comfortable big tent, the system suddenly made a sound.

A mechanical electronic sound rang in his ears, and the system's mission board also appeared on his retina.

"Mission released!"

"Alien Conqueror"

"Mission 1: Killing madly: As a lord of Ridka, you should defend your territory and eliminate any hidden dangers. The Kraders invade the territory every year and cause a lot of losses to the residents. Therefore, the lord should use the blood of the folded aliens to make They understand that Moreland Fort is not a place where they can run wild!"

"Mission reward: "200 merit points, junior officials x 5"

"Mission 2: Bloody Lord: "As the Lord selected by the system, this is only the first step in your career. What you need to build great achievements is iron and blood. The throne is made of countless bones. Your prestige spreads all over the world, making everyone tremble because of your name! "

"Conditions for completing the task: kill more than 1,200 Klad people in total and use their heads to form a Jingguan, deterring other aliens in the forest"

"Mission Reward: 300 Merit Points, Title: Alien Slayer, In the face of aliens, hit the enemy's morale by 10%, and increase the morale of your soldiers against the enemy by 10%"

Leiner was startled when he saw these two missions. The system hadn't released missions for him for a long time, but now there are two missions, and they are both such bloody and brutal missions. It seems that the system really wants to Cultivate yourself in the direction of a tyrant and executioner.

But he didn't feel any resistance at all. He has gradually adjusted his mentality in the past half a year. In this era, if you don't kill people, you will be killed by others. Killing in order to enhance your own strength has no psychology for him. The shadow was gone, and he gladly accepted these two tasks, and Leiner closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

Tomorrow, I will have to do a long mountain road to search for traces of the enemy. It will definitely be very tiring. I have to cultivate my spirits tonight so that I can cope well with tomorrow's march.
