Black Iron Crown

　　 Of course, dear Sir Varas, I am very happy to accept your allegiance to me, Lenner said with a smile.

　　 However, Leiner also knew that such a powerful combat power was not for nothing. In contrast, Leiner had to pay them two silver coins every month.

　　If Rainer wanted to maintain the number of Scarlet Griffin Riders at one hundred, then he would have to pay two hundred and forty gold coins every year.

Speaking of it, now the annual income of the Merland family's territory is only a dozen gold coins, and a hundred Scarlet Griffin riders will have to save the Merland family for more than ten years without eating or drinking. This shows how expensive this is.

　　 The current Morand family has only a dozen knights and more than sixty armed guards. As a baron family, although such strength is not strong, it is by no means weak.

These five knights who do not need a benefice but only need a salary to be sent are quite timely for Rainer. After all, even the Merland family has few villages that can be divided. These five Scarlet Gryphon knights The arrival of has greatly increased the strength of the family.

　　 In Lena's view, these five knights are the most affordable thing in the whole rookie package.

　　In Reiner's view, these five Scarlet Griffin Knights, who wore such sophisticated armor and were capable of fighting against dozens of infantrymen of this era, had no problem.

"Oh, my dear nephew, who are they? Looks like a group of distinguished people. Are you friends of people when you traveled outside?" Rainer's uncle Sir Cord interrogated came out of the castle. He was afraid of this. The territory passed by the outsiders to the brothers and nephews is threatened.

　　 With his eyesight, he can tell from the opponent's rare height, strong physique, and extraordinary aura that this is definitely a group of powerful knights.

　　 This can be easily seen from the opponent's equipment. Cod doesn't doubt the opponent's combat effectiveness. What leads him to doubt is whether the opponent will be wrong.

Although the opponent has only five people, the combat power generated by these five people is not small. If the opponent has other minds, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the baronial. Therefore, the traditional knight of Sir Cod is for these visitors. Appears very alert.

"Yes, sir. We met Lord Lenner when he traveled to the cold forest. We originally belonged to the Scarlet Gryphon Knights. We attacked the Abur Barbarian in the snowy field. It is a terrible tribe, we Our ancestors have set up camps for avoiding the encirclement and suppression of the usurper’s pseudo-kings since 400 years ago, while the Abul people often attack us. We have a wealth of land and excellent equipment. After hundreds of years of development We already have tens of thousands of people, they are eyeing everything we have, and we and each other have erupted one after another!

Although Sir Varas is very humble to Rainer, they do not respect people other than his lord. There is incomparable pride in these words, and he has suppressed the orcs in another world for fifty years. What a proud record, even if they can't tell the truth when they come to this world, they can't hide the pride from their hearts.

"They are tall and strong, and even extremely crude weapons can exert great power in their hands. In an enemy ambush, our territory was breached, and the Knights and our army were almost wiped out. And at this moment, Lord Rainer led his attendants to assault the enemy's center, killing the other chief, and then we were saved!"

　　 Compared with before, what he said is much more sincere. After all, he is his lord, and he still wants to save face.

　　 "Although we were still defeated by the Aber due to insufficient supplementation, we could not forget the heroic appearance of Lord Lena, so after the collapse of the Knights, we immediately went south and found Lord Lena to join us!"

　　Sir Valas said proudly to Sir Cod. The other four scarlet gryphon riders also raised their helmets slightly, and the blood-red feathers on them were gently swaying with the breeze.

　　Cord turned his gaze to Rainer again, he nodded to his father and said, "Yes, my dear uncle, we did meet that way before!"

　　 Immediately afterwards, Reiner turned to the knights and said regretfully: "I didn't expect that this situation would happen again not long after we were separated!"

　　 "Did your people die in that war?" Rainer asked.

　　 "No, we were defeated. Many people were separated from their comrades. According to my estimation, at least four to five hundred people escaped the camp safely and wandered around!"

　　 "It's really a shame that the heroic knights who gathered together for the sake of the Holy Father will encounter such a thing, so please feel relieved to be loyal under my command. I will guarantee your safety and treatment!"

After speaking, all the five knights dismounted, took off their helmets and knelt on one knee, raised the hands of the long sword worn on the waist, and said to Rainer: "Lord! Please accept our loyalty, what your long sword refers to The position is the direction of our charge! We are willing to drain the last drop of blood for you, and we are willing to give our heart for you!"

"Very good!" Rainer nodded, and then solemnly said: "Since you and your family are willing to be loyal to me and my family, then my descendants and my descendants will certainly treat you and your family well, and I accept Your oath, I will protect your interests and rights, and at the same time you must be loyal to me!"

　　 "Jin swears in front of the Holy Father that we will use our lives to safeguard all your interests, your dignity and the interests of your children and grandchildren!"

　　 After the oath was taken, Rainer helped the five of them up one by one, and after consulting the advice of Baron Cod, they placed them in the castle.

Although the Morland family’s castle is not big, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is only a relatively low stone castle, but it is quite comparable to the fortifications called castles made of mud and wood. superior.

What's more, there are not only soldiers in the castle, but also some male servants, maids, and cooks. In addition to preparing some rooms to entertain their guests, there are enough rooms in the castle to accommodate the extras. Five people.

In the past few days, almost all the families connected with the Moreland family have learned that the eldest son of the Moreland family has returned from the journey. Like the Middle Ages known to Reiner’s previous life, the inheritance system here is absolute eldest son inheritance. Therefore, , Rainer had just returned to the territory from his travels, and he inherited the baronial title of his father who had never met.

Just as Rainer was practicing swordsmanship in the martial arts arena, a guard suddenly came to him and said, "My Lord Baron, there is an outsider who claims to be a knight of Count Redmara. I hope to see you. As far as you say, there is a very important thing!"

"Earl Redmara?" Lena raised his brows slightly. The nearby aristocratic lineages are listed in the illustrations of the Moreland family, and Lena hasn't seen this person from the illustrations in the map these days. Name, obviously this is a foreign nobleman.

　　 "What is he looking for me for?" Rainer thought a little bit in his heart. There is no intersection between the two sides, and he believes in doing nothing. He subconsciously feels that something is wrong if he commits crimes or steals.

In addition, he has just arrived in the territory and has not fully grasped all the rights of the territory, so he is very cautious now, but in order to understand the other party's intentions, he still said to the guard: "Then let him in, take him. My study!"

　　 said, he put on the uniform that was draped next to him, put down the wooden sword in his hand and walked to his study.
