Black Iron Crown

Tilihan put the riding bow in his hand back on the horse, and spit out a puff of white smoke. He wanted to cause more losses to the enemy, but there was no way, the number of troops he led was too small, even if he tried his best All they could do was to suffer more than 200 casualties from the enemy.

After taking a deep look at the opponent's overwhelming formation, Tillihan withdrew his gaze and gave the order to retreat to the soldiers under his command.

"Boss, are we leaving just like that?" The cavalry and archers clustered around Tirihan and asked unwillingly. Such a job is really too rare, and the head of a Klade is worth three coppers. They only need to shoot solidly, it is not too simple, it would be a pity to give up like this.

"It's just the earl's order, do you dare to disobey it?" Tillihan said with a cold glance at him.

"Don't dare... Of course I don't dare..."

It was evening, and because of the winter, the sky was so dark that you couldn’t see your fingers. Even the moon hanging high in the mirror in autumn and summer was covered by dark clouds all over the sky, and there was no light to show. The world was as dark as a ghost. It looked horrible.

At this time, Fort Morland was already full of troops, and thirteen lords gathered here. They were all vassals who were relatively close to Leiner. Under the darkness, they entered the castle by the dim light of the fire. stationed.

All of Leiner's troops were also gearing up in the barracks to prepare for the next battle.

"Very good, my vassals!" Reiner entertained the thirteen vassals who arrived in a small room. He was wearing the usual gorgeous uniforms. After all, this was just a private and informal banquet.

Reiner raised his wine glass, with a smile on his face, and said with a smile to the lords who came here: "My vassals, I have seen your loyalty, and in the days to come Here, I will never treat you badly! You will always have a place at my banquet!"

"We will always be loyal, my lord!" All the lords stood up from their chairs after hearing the words, also holding wine glasses in their hands, all their eyes were focused on Reiner, and they once again swore the oath they had made countless times.

"The Klade people harass and plunder us every year! Compared to you guys, you have already tirelessly? This time, I will once and for all, keep all the invading Klade people!" Lena gritted his teeth Said.

However, all of this was just for show, and he didn't feel very angry. On the contrary, he felt that it was great that the Klade people could come to give away heads in winter when there were no production activities.

Not only does it not affect farming, hunting and gathering,

It will also bring a lot of merit points to Leiner, and Leiner has to raise his thumbs up in admiration, the Clades are all alive!

The banquet was very short and ended in a hurry. The lords did not drink much under Leiner's persuasion, but just tasted it. After all, the battle is coming soon, and he does not want these lords to drink. It's a waste of time to drink without a computer, and it would be bad if we have to wait for them to wake up early in the morning.

Early the next morning, there was a strong aroma floating in the entire castle. Since all the troops had returned to the barracks of the castle, today's food tasted the strongest.

In the big pottery pot, oatmeal paste that has been thrown away by hot water is boiling, and in the pottery pot on the other side is hot goat milk mixed with soybean dregs, which is gurgling in the middle of the fire. After soaking, there are many large pieces of air-dried meat and fresh meat in the oatmeal paste, which looks extremely rough. In addition, there are some unknown dried vegetables, which are very delicious when sprinkled with a handful of salt. After the soldiers filled a large bowl with wooden bowls, they ate with relish the black bread in their hands.

Reiner didn't like this kind of food, and he still couldn't accept this kind of big pot cooking, and goat's milk was a taboo and cheap food for the nobles, but for the soldiers, they liked this kind of food very much.

A lot of goat milk and meat ensured that they had enough protein, and a little dried vegetables might provide them with a small amount of vitamins. After the main meal, they each got a piece of chicken liver or fish oil of different sizes. In short, they The meals are very nutritious and rich in protein.

This scent also attracted the armies of other lords. Their food was only hard air-dried meat and black bread mixed with sand. The oatmeal paste looked very much like vomit when boiled in clay pots , Smelling the aroma of the army food in Fort Moland, and looking at the food in front of me, no matter how I look at it, I find it hard to swallow.

Kerim is now a mature soldier. Although the original veterans in the team still call them recruits, in terms of combat effectiveness and status, they are almost the same as veterans.

At this time, he was holding a piece of chicken liver and nibbling it in small bites. He had already drank three bowls of goat milk and two bowls of broth, and after serving it with two pieces of pure black bread without impurities, he had already started to burp. .

However, under the indoctrination of the officers that eating more would make him stronger, he still chose to eat a large piece of chicken liver.

"Hey... there is no fruit, and there is no taste in my mouth..." Another soldier with a chicken liver in his hand complained slightly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Were you able to live this kind of life before? We now have meat and milk, which were all brought by the Earl. You are not allowed to complain like this!" After hearing what the soldier said, the captain The team leader, who was so thick and full of stubble, turned his head and scolded viciously.

"Hey...hehe...didn't I just say it casually?" The soldier smiled all over his face, and then he seemed to remember something and hurriedly asked Kerim next to him: "Kim, what kind of armor is that? Has it been sent yet?"

"It's been sent..." Kerim gnawed on the chicken liver in his hand and said without answering, then he seemed to think of something, his face was full of gloating expression: "You didn't get it because you were at home on vacation. Armored?"

"Hi! I... I!" The soldier looked a little panicked, he was at a loss, and he didn't know what to say.

"What are you waiting for? Ask the captain to take you to the quartermaster!" Kerim reminded him by patting him on the shoulder after a while.

"Yes, yes, yes..." The soldier immediately walked into the castle with his captain's arm in his arms, to find the quartermaster.

Kerim smiled helplessly, threw the remaining large piece of chicken liver into his mouth in one gulp, and walked to the shelf next to his bed.

On the shelf are two sets of all-iron armor, the inside is a full-body chain armor with six rings, and the outside is an iron armor that strengthens the protection of the chest and shoulders and limbs, but only reaches the thighs.

Both sets of armor have been wiped brightly, without a trace of dust at all. At the top of the shelf is a chain armor neck guard, only a pair of eyes are exposed, and the iron helmet with brim is combined together. There is actually a different kind of mighty feeling.
