Black Iron Crown

　　 In about ten minutes, all the soldiers of the Morand family who were able to stand up gathered in front of Rainer, and their sleepy eyes quickly became energetic because of the severe cold.

In fact, if it were not for the freemen and serfs enlisted by the knights and the serfs of Lena's sign, the entire army could be assembled in only five minutes. After all, even the freemen would not be able to compete with the regular army in terms of combat effectiveness and discipline. compared to.

　　 The soldiers gathered at this time were very puzzled. They had just won the battle and slept well in the tent. Why did Lord Baron wake them up at this time?

　　 Rainer suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said loudly to the assembled soldiers: "Soldiers!"

　　 "I know that your hearts are full of questions. You don't understand why I want to call you up at this time. I understand your thoughts very well!"

"But! Our castle is about to be attacked! Our home is about to be ravaged by a pack of wolves! If we don't return to the castle to resist the enemy's attack, everyone's homes, including me, will be destroyed by the enemy! Women! Will be raped by damned enemies, innocent children will be used by them for wanton pleasure, the blood of children and women will flow all over the ground, and their souls will curse you! They hate you! They hate their husbands, fathers, and hate You did not save them from the enemy! If you feel that it doesn’t matter, then you can go back to the camp and continue to sleep! I swear you will not be punished for this!"

　　 Rainer shouted hoarsely. At first he was panicked about the castle being besieged by the enemy, but soon he adjusted his mind and began to mobilize the morale of the soldiers.

　　 He knew that the soldiers were exhausted at this time, and the morale of being forced to wake up from sleep would not be very high. If you bring such troops, even if you return to the castle, it will not have any effect.

　　 How can a tired, damaged and demoralized division contend with the intact enemy, so Rainer must mobilize the soldiers' time.

　　The soldiers began to whisper after listening to Rainer's words. They also had the mood to defend their homeland, but they were somewhat suspicious of this.

"Soldiers! Don't doubt the authenticity of my words! This is absolutely true! We must go back to the castle to protect our family! Defend our homeland! Knights! Defend your beloved! Defend your glory! Don't let the cowardice! Shame your family!"

　　 "Honor is my life! Defend my prince with life!"

　　 The knights drew out their swords and placed them on their chests, the fire shining on their swords, their determination has been proved! "

　　 "Defend your homeland!"

　　 "Get rid of the intruder!"

　　 The soldiers also raised their spears emotionally and shouted loudly, protecting their families is far more important than sleeping more.

　　 "Very good! Now, the wounded soldiers stay where they are, and those who are still able to fight, follow me back to the castle to guard our homeland!"

　　 In this way, a group of more than 200 people embarked on the journey back to the castle on this dark and windy night. Although they were exhausted, they tried their best to overcome these difficulties.

　　At the same time, Baron Lobeian’s army had put a long ladder on the wall, and the expression on his face could not help but change when he looked at the inactive city gate.

　　 Originally, he thought this plan was foolproof, but it was the spy elite he had borrowed from Earl Zeppa. He didn't believe that anyone in the little Morandburg could spot him.

　　 And ahead, his soldiers scrambled to climb to the wall through the long ladder, because Baron Lobian said that after the castle was breached, they could force the women inside and divide the spoils at will.

　　 Those noble women who these serfs would never even dared to think about, with such a promise, they suddenly climbed on the wall of the city like chicken blood.

The Baron Lobeian under the city wall no longer thought about this. He rode on the horse with his bare head, holding a whip in his hand, and said to a middle-aged man in leather and chain armor next to him: "Thank you Zhebo for me. Earl, I am very happy to serve him in the Northern Territory. Please rest assured that the Morand family and the entire Northern Territory will not be able to overcome any storms, as long as the agreement between us continues!"

"Yes, dear Lord Baron, I will pass your words to the earl verbatim, then, please allow me to leave your team and pass the news to earl Jeppel!" the middle-aged man said with a salute Then, the big beard around his mouth was fluttering in the wind and looked a little sloppy.

　　 Baron Lobeian nodded proudly and motioned to the other party to act at will, without saying anything else.

　　 The middle-aged man turned his body expressionlessly, and he was about to leave here with his two followers.

　　 But when he turned around, there was a touch of irritation and dissatisfaction on his face, but due to the authority and strength of Baron Lobeian, he did not dare to show it clearly.

Looking at the serf signs who were desperately climbing through the three long ladders to the wall in front of him, Baron Lobéan frowned. For such a wall, he was reluctant to let the knights and the standing army that he paid for to eat. , Even if he sent the serf symptom soldiers, he was a little reluctant. After all, he adopted a method with a smaller loss, but it didn't seem to take effect. In desperation, he could only let the serf symptom soldiers go first.

The knights and the regular army are very precious, while the serf symptom soldiers are different. They are only fulfilling their obligations to themselves. They must serve their masters. In the eyes of Baron Lobian, these people are like weeds in the ground. It doesn't matter if some die, anyway, they will grow up again in a few years. The only value of their existence is to be exploited by the nobles and to give them everything for the nobles.

　　 Even in his eyes, these people are not as valuable as arrows. Arrows cost money, but these serf soldiers don't need it. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com

　　 This kind of idea is ridiculous to Reiner, even to all modern people, but it is the mainstream idea in the minds of nobles in this era, and most nobles do this.

The same goes for the freedmen. They must purchase weapons for themselves to increase their chances of surviving on the battlefield. In this way, many freedmen will go bankrupt as a result, but the times are different. It is no longer what the war-torn aristocrats had to do. It's time to rely on the free men who are physically strong to fight, and the nobles wish them bankruptcy.

　　Only in this way will they sell their land to become their own serfs and increase their income, instead of being like the lowest vassals as they are now, but also considering their feelings.

　　For the nobles, only the armies armed with their own money are worth saving, and so are the knights.

　　 "Quick! Fighters! We must be quicker! Our family may be persecuted by the enemy at any time! Our family will be safer if we go back a while earlier!"

　　Rainer was riding on the horse. At this time, he had removed all the armor and only a few layers of warm clothing were left, and said loudly to the soldiers who were trotting behind.

At this time, the soldiers of the Morand family are already a little panting. Marching in the snow is a very physically demanding thing. Reiner’s regular army is good. They are well trained and strong enough to withstand such a march. speed.

　　 But the serf signs were exhausted, and they were not well-nourished, and trotting in such a snowy field almost made them use up all their physical strength.

　　 Although the freedmen are better than them, they are still out of breath. After all, they still cannot compare with the regular army trained all day long.
