Black Iron Crown

Chapter 51: Miserable Fort Kahn

  Leiner put down the armor and asked the blacksmiths: "How about the output of this kind of armor? How long will it take to build a pair?"

   "Hmm... Lord Baron, although this type of armor manufacturing is not as cumbersome as chain armor, it is also time-consuming. In one month, five blacksmiths here can create fifteen sets..."

   The blacksmith spoke, hesitating when he watched Lena frown and speak.

This output is indeed a little low in Renner's mind, but it is understandable. Of course, the speed of handcrafting completely by the blacksmith is slow, but he knows that this is already the limit. If he uses the two of the original Morandburg and is sent by him It is estimated that it will be slower for the blacksmith who makes farm tools to build the armor.

Rainer nodded and said: "Don't worry, I'm very satisfied with this speed. You can build as much as possible. You can build fifty suits of armor within three months, but don't worry, what I want is qualified armor. "

   After arranging the matter, Reiner asked him to recruit some soldiers from the freedmen in Goerburg, and then recruited the ordinary soldiers to fifty.

This made him painful again. The salaries of these soldiers were supported by the grains after the autumn harvest and the ten gold coins in the system's original package for beginners. At the end of the first month, Rainer had to issue six to his army. Gold coins are used as military pay, and now the little money in his hand can last two more months. After two months, he will not even be able to pay the military pay.

   Although the soldiers who are realized will not desert or betray, but the system will force the sale of Leiner’s current property to the soldiers to pay the soldiers.

In order to prevent this from happening, Reiner did not let all the blacksmiths make tie armor. Two blacksmiths were assigned to Goerborg to weave the chain mail. After the two sets were knitted, Reiner sent someone to do it. These two sets of chain armor were sold to the hinterland of the empire to ease the tense economic situation.

   But even so, this is just a drop in the bucket. The spoils obtained from several battles before he intends to be sold in the interior of the empire together to see if he can get more money.

He only needs to last until the beginning of spring. When the beginning of spring begins, he can organize manpower to enter the forest for hunting. Merchants who have left the Northland for a whole winter will also come back in the spring and transport the precious animal skins here to take the distinguished identities. Nobles.

   And some big nobles would even buy iron materials here at high prices, of course, Rainer would not sell them at all.

At least until Rainer finds new sources of financial resources and has sufficient financial resources, he does not intend to continue to recruit troops. With the system and merit-exchange mechanism for the army, he wants to use war to support war and use war to catalyze a scale. A huge and powerful system army, but money limits him.

   If he wants to rely on this method to expand the army madly but does not develop the territory so that his economic situation can afford the army, then everything is not true.

  The problem of no money even if he turned his head pale, he couldn't help it, so he simply let go of his sorrows and began to enjoy life.

   From time to time, he inspected the status of the army, and handed over some of the newly recruited recruits and the former infantry to Sir Leiland. It was a costly task to raise troops, and Rainer finally understood this.

   Not only he must pay the soldiers, but also arm them, in addition to giving them nutritious food to ensure their training.

  Calculated, Rainer only needs to support them for one or two years, and each of them is a soldier worth a dozen gold coins.

Of course, the only high salaries are the soldiers who are managed by the system. The salaries of his former soldiers are no more than one copper per month, which is more than one silver coin per year, and seven or eight coins per year. With the salary of gold coins, selling some iron materials will be able to run the entire territory smoothly.

   However, after switching out the system arms, his financial expenditures suddenly doubled, and only by increasing other incomes can it be improved.

   At the same time, what is completely different from the full-blown scene of Fort Morand is the miserable condition of Fort Kahn.

   A stream of black smoke fluttered from the ground of Kahnburg into the sky, rendering the monotonous white world more colorful, but behind these colors was a cruel situation.

   Baron Kahn was on the arrow tower in the castle at this time, looking at the devastated territory with a green face, and the black smoke rising to the sky was all burned villages.

   If he hadn't transferred most of the residents to the castle before he went out, the baron would have become a polished commander.

  , Baron Kahn, who thought he could fight against the Clades at the border of his territory like Baron Rainer, suffered a disastrous defeat at the border of his own territory.

   He asked his serf signs to consume the strength of the Cladds first, but he didn't want to. The signs with weak fighting will are not the opponents of the clads with crazy desire to survive.

   It collapsed when touched, and even if he led the Cavaliers to charge against the Clades, he couldn't restore the trend of defeat.

   If he was reckless in the beginning, he directly led the knights to attack the Cladders~www.wuxiahere.com~ and it might be possible to defeat the enemy before the impact of the horse was exhausted in the crowd.

   But he was self-consciously afraid that his knights would be damaged too much, so that the serf signs would go up and consume the opponent. The defeated serf signs directly affected the charging knights and boosted the opponent's morale.

   In this way, Baron Kahn suffered a fiasco. The hundreds of soldiers who were taken out were only forty or fifty soldiers, and only five knights who were taken out followed him back to the castle.

   The Clads raged on his territory like this, scouring every place where food might be hidden, and plundering every grain of food.

   He stood sadly on the arrow tower and looked at the entire territory. Now he still doesn't know whether the Baron Lena who chose to fight against the Clades and his distant relatives have succeeded or failed.

His mood is as gloomy as this winter day. The situation in the North is not peaceful. Now the emperor is seriously ill. He has lost the pressure of the emperor. I don’t know what will happen to the North when the spring begins. Fort Kahn with a large number of troops and knights will definitely become a target.

   He didn't know how to protect his territory and family in the future. The nearly two thousand residents of the castle would live there after the beginning of the spring. All this lingered in his heart like a nightmare.

The old knight Bantu who had been persuading him to walk up to the arrow tower, said to Baron Kahn: "The Lord Baron, the Clades will not attack us anymore. Now we have to reassure the residents. They are now panicked and don't know. Where to live in the future!"

   Listening to Bantu's words, Baron Kahn's heart became more irritable, but he still restrained his emotions and said: "Tell them that I will help them rebuild their homes and let them not worry!"
