Black Iron Crown

　　 But, after all, the Merland family is very majestic. Reiner's father and grandfather are trustworthy lords. The knights and the residents of the territory are also very convinced of the Merland family.

　　 What's more, there are five **** supporters in Lena's hands, the Scarlet Griffin Rider, whose extremely powerful fighting power has been spread through the last battle against the red dwarf.

In addition, there are many relatives in the Moland family. Reiner’s father’s younger brother and his uncle’s family are also Reiner’s supporters. Therefore, although Reiner is not in absolute control of the territory, at least he has no control over the territory. People dare to disobey Rainer's orders.

"Are you sure you want to do this? The snow this year is too big, and there will definitely be more clads coming to plunder than in previous years. This is not something we can resist! We need to rely on Fort Merland, this is us Guardian of the family!"

　　Sir Cod persuaded Rainer, but he knew the status of both sides very clearly. Although he was the other's uncle, he was also his courtier, so he paid great attention to his own words.

"Uncle I know, but please believe me. Including the knights' retinue and infantry, our Morland family can mobilize more than two hundred people. I have a way to get our army to gather together at any time to prevent the invasion. The enemy launches an offensive and can spot enemies entering the territory from all directions at any time!"

　　Leiner said to this Sir Cod. Liner had thought of a way before, and that was the legendary wolf smoke. Of course, Liner didn't know how to make wolf smoke.

　　 But he also tried to draw a gourd a few times, and finally he reached the point where he could find it within two kilometers.

　　 Anyway, the entire border of Fort Morland next to the frigid forest is only about seven or eight kilometers, and only three or four piles of wolf smoke can be taken care of.

　　 And a pile of wolf smoke can be ignited by only one or two soldiers. This method is still very useful for a border of only seven or eight kilometers.

　　 After Rainer explained to Sir Cod, although he still had some doubts in his mind, he was finally not as worried as before.

　　Leiner’s knights did not dare to disobey their Lord Baron. They were afraid of the force of Lena, and they also feared that they had a reputation for being infidelity.

　　 Therefore, even if they are not optimistic about this battle, even if they may die in this war with the barbarians, they still choose to obey the orders of the monarch.

　　 The heavy snow has stopped for five days. Reiner issued the assembly order when the snow just stopped. Now Reiner's knights have all assembled at Fort Merland with soldiers and retinues.

　　 More than two hundred soldiers gathered here. Fort Morand is only a military castle, not a town. Therefore, apart from Lena’s family, there are only troops belonging to the Morand family.

Now there are so many more people. Although the castle does not appear to be crowded, it seems to be a lot of lively. However, the soldiers and knights bring their own food, so Reiner does not need to pay for it, because this is They have to fulfill their obligations to Leiner.

　　 After the assembly was completed, Rainer held a temporary banquet for the knights, and then led these troops out of the castle to the northern border.

　　 The northern border is only about ten kilometers away from the castle, and it only takes about four hours to get to the border near the boreal forest.

Some of the prostitutes in Reiner’s Territory wanted to accompany the army to the front. Now there is no idea when the Clades will invade, so where the army may stay for more than a month, and if a month has passed, then the Clades The chance of intrusion is much smaller.

　　 "Will this thing really work?" Not only Sir Cod, but the other knights under Rainer also played drums in their hearts, but the Scarlet Griffin Rider had no such worries.

　　Although they have been realized and have independent personalities and feelings, they have unconditional trust in Leiner.

　　 That night, Rainer asked the soldiers to pile the prepared four piles of wolf smoke on the border of the territory. Once the Clades appeared, they would immediately ignite the notice, and then use swift movement tactics to wipe out the enemy.

Usually the looted Klads belong to the same tribe. The barren boreal forest cannot support a large tribe with more than 10,000 people, and even tribes with more than 5,000 people are extremely rare. They will divide their looting positions. Then go south to plunder, and the water of the well does not violate the water of the river.

　　 These people are generally skirmishers, and apart from the large number, none of them can be compared with the regular army.

　　 Therefore, as long as he doesn't face more than a thousand enemies at a time, Rainer is sure to win.

　　 The need to transfer property every year is just because it is impossible to predict from which direction the enemy will enter. Even if the knights are patrolling around on horses, it is not very useful.

　　 After all, humans and war horses are not machines, and they are not tireless. What's more, even if the enemy is discovered, there will be a lot of fish that slip through the net.

　　Rainer intends to annihilate a large number of enemies in one stop, and then keep the residents of various villages vigilant, and then strangle the clads who have escaped by chance.

　　 After all, Leiner is currently organizing large-scale reclamation activities. For months, human dung and livestock dung have not been wasted, and they are fermenting in a big pit.

　　 This is the farmyard manure used for arable land next year. The fermented manure has a strong effect on the fertilizer field. com even the bone meal of Lena's uncertain effect was stored by him and prepared to be scattered into the ground.

The annual income of the Merland family can only be kept from starvation and a slight surplus. If you include a series of huge expenses such as soldier salaries and armor replacement, it is even more huge. If it is not for the iron ore in the territory, The family would not be able to sustain it with a small profit.

Therefore, Rainer’s top priority is to solve the territorial food problem. If the annual food income is not self-sufficient and there is a huge surplus, it will be difficult for him to feel at ease. This is the national identity given to him by the Yellow River descent of the heavenly dynasty, even if it is changed. A world has changed a body and it hasn't changed in the slightest.

　　Because of this, he can't let the clads act recklessly in the territory. In addition to factors such as prestige, this is also a big reason.

　　 At the same time, among Fort Reenter, which is next to Fort Morand, Baron Wedrim is looking into the distance in his bedroom.

The whole land is covered in silver, and the pure white world has only a few debris as ornaments. It is not until the northernmost boreal forest that there is some color, and where, there is brewing a scene for the entire northern border. An extremely huge disaster.

　　 All the residents of Fort Reenter, the two thousand or so people were all transferred to the castle by him. Food and all valuable things are no exception, but because the mobilization ability is too low, there may be hundreds of people living outside the castle.

　　 But he didn't know when the Clades would cross the frontier to burn, kill and loot, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

　　 "Hey! Stupid! I thought he would be as calm as his father, but now he is just a self-righteous idiot! Defeating the enemy? Huh! Who does he think he is? Is the Father's fighting incarnation?"
