Black Iron Crown

Hearing this, Earl Redmara glanced at the expressionless queen sitting on the top, and seeing that she didn't respond, he said, "Of course I don't have any objections, I agree with this proposal!"

If it was someone else, Earl Redmara would definitely not agree, and maybe he would try his best to stop it.

At that time, the other party was Baron Reiner, so he wouldn't stop him, even though he was also a branch of the royal family, but in the end, it was just a branch that was ignored and only had the title of baron.

Not only did I have an intersection with that Baron Leiner, but I also helped him eat a bunch of armor some time ago.

What's more, can a box of lords such as the royal family in the backcountry and the imperial capital and the hinterland of the royal family compare? In the final analysis, he is still similar to a fringe lord like himself, so don't try to stand out at all.

He believed that Baron Rainer was a smart man who could understand these things.

Seeing that Earl Redmara had no objection, Earl Weasley turned his head and asked Grand Duke Mabula, "My cousin, what do you think?"

"Hehe, of course I have no objection. I am very happy that such an outstanding person can appear among the descendants of Moreland! Since he has such talent and is a descendant of Moreland, why should we begrudge the title of an earl? What about it?" Grand Duke Mabula said with a smile.

Most of the other lords also began to change their opinions.

Indeed, after all, they are also members of the royal family. Even if they are offshoots, can they still deny the blood relationship between the two parties? There is an outstanding junior in the royal family, it is really not impossible to give him the position of earl.

In this way, amidst the praises of the nobles, Reiner's reward was finalized.

The royal family did not provide any material assistance, but made Leiner the earl, and transferred all the baron nobles in the north to Leiner as vassals.

Of course, this didn't mean much to Reiner, because he didn't even receive a single coin of assistance except for the title of Earl.

Perhaps there is another advantage, that is, he occupies the moral high ground at the war level, because the royal family transferred all the baron first-class vassals in the northern border to Reiner.

If those lords are still united with Earl Zhebo, Reiner can use the excuse of counter-insurgency to launch a war, and at the same time, he can condemn those lords.

Speaking of which, Reiner also broke a record at the earl level,

That is the record of the number of vassals.

In the past, there were eight or nine baron-level vassals under the command of those earls, and there were no more than a dozen people. Fortunately, Rainer immediately had more than 90 vassals under this wave of royal transfers. ...

"Very good! Since this is the case, Sir Horne, I'm afraid you will have to go to the north again in three days! We need more steel! The steel you brought back is not enough for each lord to share a ton, which is almost a drop in the bucket. You need to bring back more steel!" The queen said to Sir Horn after finalizing the help to Reiner.

"By the way, Baron Rainer still has hundreds of full-body chain armors, right? Tell him that we want all these chain armors. The bottom line of the price is ten gold coins, but you have to try to keep the price down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will set off in three days!" Sir Horn saluted and left the conference hall.

The queen said this very proudly. Reiner has 400 sets of full-body chain armor, and each set of 10 gold coins is 4,000 gold coins. This is definitely a terrifying number for the northern border. This is the income.

The imperial family has to say that it is true that they are extremely rich. Their income comes from the developed business and commercial taxes within the empire, the agricultural tax on the land, the autocratic salt tax, and the taxes paid by lords from all over the empire.

There is almost an income of more than 200,000 gold coins every year, which is almost comparable to the combined income of the lords of the whole country.

Even if more than 10,000 regular troops were to be supported, it would only cost more than 60,000 gold coins a year. After deducting some other expenses, there would be a surplus of 30,000 to 40,000 gold coins every year.

After more than ten years of rule, it is conceivable how much wealth the royal family has accumulated. Taking out thousands of gold coins to buy some armor is simply a drop in the bucket.

At the same time, Leiner felt that his army training had already achieved preliminary results. In addition, winter was approaching, and the harvest of ice sugar cane was coming soon. All are redeemed.

"How is the training of the soldiers?" Reiner stood in the center of the castle and looked at the soldiers who were still sweating, and asked Sir Rayland who was standing beside him.

"Very good, my lord!" Sir Leyland said respectfully, looking at the soldiers who had gradually grown stronger with a look of pride on his face.

"Very good! Then I think we can go to the frigid forest for the second round of raids again. I will beat the Klade people so that they dare not go south!" Leiner clenched his fists, looked up at the sky, and had great feelings in his heart. ambition.

It has been more than a month since Sir Horn left Fort Moreland, and more than eighty sets of six-ring buckle full-body chain armor have been built, ready to be equipped for soldiers.

Although there are not many of you, it is still possible to have one-third of the people wearing armor. Leiner thinks this is enough. If all the armors are finished, it will be a year of monkeys. Winter is probably over, so why bother? Sugar does not squeeze sugar anymore.

Leiner's order was conveyed immediately. A large amount of wheat was ground and crushed and then made into bread to be carried by the soldiers. The soldiers also put on their armor, and the rest of the soldiers wore Leiner's original The five-ring buckle armor that is going to be bought.

Although Leiner originally equipped the soldiers with five-ring chain armor, but in the previous battles, this five-ring chain armor still exposed the shortcomings of insufficient defense.

This caused many soldiers who shouldn't have lost their lives to lose their lives. Reiner decided to make the links of the chain armor denser after learning from the pain. In this way, not only will the weight not increase too much, but the defense power will be improved a lot.

In addition, he also planned to add some more armor to his regular army, so that it would not be as heavy and sophisticated as the moreland sergeants. He planned to equip the soldiers with some simple light plate armor.

The soldiers were quickly assembled, and the scarlet griffin knights were at the front. The horses under their crotches were like rainbows, and their extremely tall bodies looked very majestic. Even with a heavy burden on them, they couldn't Let them lose their vitality, and the blood-colored griffin knights on horseback exude a bloody and fierce aura, just like demons who have come out of hell.

Behind them, Sergeant Moreland stood at the forefront with a spear in his hand, like sculptures made of steel, motionless, showing strict military discipline like steel.
