Black Iron Crown

Chapter 43: On meritorious deeds

   The main fort is the atmosphere of joy in the hall. After the upgrade, the Morand Fort even the hall has become much more spacious and has doubled its size.

   The servants shuttled between the tables and kept placing the ingredients on the table. Of course, there was nothing tricky in it. The low-level nobles like him could get anything good.

Productivity restricts the kinds of Eastern he can eat on weekdays. Except for some Northland specialties that taste particularly good, they are nothing more than honey, broth, barbecue, and even in this season they can’t even eat fruit. Make the table color monotonous.

   But the knights under Rainer didn't care about these. For them, it was very good to be able to eat something like this. What's more, the focus of this banquet was not to eat, but to reward them next.

The servants quickly arranged the food. The banquet is very expensive. Generally speaking, a baron will only hold it once or twice a year. The nobles may be more frequent. After all, they have more subordinates to win over. , But even that was only five or six times a year, and they couldn't afford it even more with their financial resources.

  Rainer’s banquet this time was okay. It was an internal celebration banquet. Only the knights under the Merland family and their families participated. If other nobles were invited to this banquet, it would cost more than that.

   But speaking of it, at this time, most of the lords in the north were basically huddled in the castle. Even the nobles who were slightly closer to the south were in the castle, waiting for the winter to pass and continue their activities.

So once winter comes, the news will be stagnant, otherwise the defeat of Baron Lobéan will be spread out soon, and other nobles will swarm like sharks smelling blood. Divide the fruits of Lena's victory.

   All the guests were seated, the torches inserted around the hall were burning, and the beating sparks dazzled the shadows, which seemed to have a mysterious and strange feeling.

   But the guests didn't care about this, because in their impression the banquet should be like this.

There are about fifty guests in the hall. Except for the knights, they are all their family members. Everyone puts on their most decent clothes. Although the knights are only the lowest nobles, their families are still Not to be ragged, after all, one or two hundred people support them.

   The knights of Morandburg are in a good financial situation. The chain armor made by Rainer's blacksmiths are all sold to them at low prices. Equipment and other items can be replaced by Rainer here at a very low price.

   Of course, it is impossible for him to provide them with equipment for free. The reason they have a benefice is to allow them to equip them at their own expense. Only those trainee knights who do not have a benefice will get the equipment issued by Rainer.

Rainer was sitting on the long table in the center of the hall. On this long table, except for the members of the Moland family, were knights with fighting ability. A dozen people did it on this long table. Rainer sits at the top, and next to him is his mother, Mrs. Merland, the first on the left is his uncle Sir Cod, and on the right is the commander of the Scarlet Gryphon Knights. Sir S.

   There are ten knight families under the Moland family, which means that a total of ten villages have been banned, and there are only twelve villages under the control of Rainer.

   In fact, the population of Fort Moreland should have been quite large. However, since it faces the invasion of the Clades every year, the population growth rate on the territory is very slow.

   Otherwise, the population of Morandburg would have surpassed that of Goerborg. How could it be possible that the 22 villages were not as crowded as the eighteen villages of Goerborg.

Seeing everyone calm down, Reiner stood up and raised his glass and said, "We have won! Not only the war against the Clades has been won! The Gewen family has also been defeated under our attack, and Goreborg has become The area under my command!

   "This is not just my credit, it's true I must admit! This is also the credit of my knights! It's you!" Rainer glanced at the sitting knights and said.

"It was you who launched the most powerful charge that defeated the Clades' array and made them a complete failure! It was also you, who overcame the exhaustion of the body and marched in the middle of the night, and rushed to Fort Morand and defeated Baron Lobeian in time. , I must thank you, my brother, and I must acknowledge your credit!"

   "Let us, to the bravery of the knights! Cheers!" Leiner said, raising the glass.

All the people present were flushed, especially the knights at the knight commander's table. They all raised their wine glasses and got up from their chairs excitedly. There is mild wheat malt wine in his glass, which is suitable for a teenager his age.

It seemed that he was overwhelmed by what Lenner said, and yes, 13 or 14-year-old children always think that the battlefield is extremely romantic, so he feels extremely excited when he hears words that have nothing to do with him. .

   "I must be rewarded for your contributions! Goerborg now belongs to me, UU reading www.uukanshu.com and I will give you all the villages under it!"

Reiner drew the long sword tied to his waist and walked to Lombard's side. As a sixteen-year-old boy, this was the second time he went to the battlefield to fight with the enemy. However, the education and training he received from his childhood has not Let him have no discomfort with killing and fighting, and he performed very well on the battlefield.

   "Sir Lombard!"

   "Yes, my lord!" Lumbarley knelt on one knee and stroked his left chest with his right hand, making a heartfelt gift.

Rainer put a long sword on his right shoulder and said: "Sir Lombard fought bravely on the battlefield and did not retreat. He was a great help to the battle, so I closed the village of Cabbage under Goerburg. For you as your beloved place, where you can collect taxes, conscript soldiers, protect the residents, or levy violently, this is the right I give you!"

"At the same time, in contrast, you have to fulfill the oath you made to me, use wherever the population and resources to serve me, and immediately assemble an army to me when I have a call, and at the same time abide by the law specified by me, you can Can it be done?"

"Yes, my lord, I will obey all your orders and use my life to protect you. The direction your sword is pointing is the target of my charge!" Lombard said excitedly, at the age of sixteen. Owning a piece of your own benefice is rare among knights.

  Leiner finished listening, tapped three times on his shoulder, and said: "I hope you can keep your vows. Now, Cabbage Village is your beloved!"

Next, Rainer canonized the remaining five knights without a benefice one by one, and the Scarlet Griffon Knights received property rewards. After all, they were the units exchanged from the system. Yap is not a necessity for them.
