Black Iron Crown

After Leiner announced the dismissal, these vassals stayed on the ground and looked at each other, they really didn't know how to deal with Leiner.

"Hey! Baron Azak, what do you think His Majesty is doing? There are no more battles to fight. Why do you keep so many powerful soldiers? He doesn't allow his vassals to have private wars. We There is no need to spend so much money to maintain the army!"

Baron Azak looked at Zhang, the lord who stopped him, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Baron Azak never relaxes the training of his army, so although his army's combat effectiveness has declined slightly due to the long period of non-combat, it is not an exaggeration.

Because he often took his wife to Reiner's Mecaron City as a guest, he was very familiar with Reiner. He knew that Reiner expected the army to ensure combat effectiveness, so the psychopaths under his command could still fight.

In order to maintain a relationship with Reiner, Baron Azak even stayed in Mecaron City with his wife for six months of the year.

As for what happened here, of course, there is not much to say, and Mrs. Azak was almost as old as a pearl several times.

However, the lord in front of him didn't maintain a familiar relationship with Leiner for a long time, and he didn't know that Leiner wanted the vassals to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army.

In addition, he usually likes to spend time and drink, and even the soldiers' salaries have been squandered by him. The army under his command has not been paid for more than a year.

In order to prevent his soldiers from mutinying, the lord had no choice but to let these soldiers raise their own salaries.

Once this ban was lifted, the soldiers could be regarded as having fun. At first, they felt that they would not return home at night and go out for free food.

But then they became more and more courageous, extorting and kidnapping for ransom, blocking roads and robbing caravans, collecting the second city entry tax and tolls by themselves, and bullying men and women. There is nothing they dare not do.

In this way, how could these debauched soldiers still be able to maintain their combat effectiveness, it would be good for them to spend one night in the barracks a week.

Some people even became robbers who stopped and robbed, and began to refuse to work for the baron.

"There is no way. As vassals, we must obey His Majesty's orders. Do you want to refuse His Majesty?"

Baron Azak glanced at this person, then sighed and said, "Take care of your mess as soon as possible, and go back as fast as possible, and quickly gather troops for a training camp, no matter what you say, don't act like that." It's too unbearable!"

These lords all hurried back to prepare to assemble the army. They all made up their minds. Even if they couldn't restore the soldiers to fight, at least they had to look past it on the surface so that they could get away with it.

As a result, the vassals rode on their war horses and rushed to their territory at high speed. Even Earl Jolar, after returning to the territory, hurriedly assembled the army for longer training.

Although Earl Jollal also started to order the army to train every day under the suggestion of Reiner, but after all, the intensity was not strong, and it was a little bit reluctant to even maintain the combat effectiveness.

The Earl of Princeton did a good job at this point. He even asked his army to pay fees everywhere to maintain combat effectiveness.

As for the five barons on the prairie, including Baron Samuza and Baron Tillihan, their army's combat effectiveness has remained quite good, and life on the prairie is very tempering.

The light cavalry and light infantry under their command had no entertainment at all on the prairie. The only entertainment was to fight against each other and fight each other.

In this way, their combat effectiveness can be maintained at the best...

Soon, three months passed, this was the marching time Leiner gave them, and it took time to go back and forth.

For three months, this is very good news for the lords who are relatively close to Mecaron City.

Especially Earl Jolar, his territory is only five days away from Mecaron City, and it only takes ten days to go back and forth, which means that he has two months and ten days to train himself army.

His army's combat effectiveness has not declined much, and he is even confident that the army will be stronger than before in two months.

Three months passed in a flash, and for some lords, they were not as lucky as Earl Jollal. Their territory was not close to Mecaron City, and they only had a short training time.

Three months is very short and fleeting. These lords have not dared to be late, and everyone brought their own troops to assemble outside the city of Mecaron on time.

Three months was obviously not enough time for all the lords to re-restrain the army. Although they marched all the way, they still looked disorganized when they arrived outside the city of Mecaron, and even the camp was crookedly built by them.

Reiner stood on the top of the city wall and looked at the barracks outside the city. His face became more and more ugly. Although some of the lord's army seemed reasonable, most of them still looked messy.

He left the city wall without saying a word, and returned to the meeting hall. At this time, in the hall, the lords were discussing in a chaotic manner. Some of them looked flat, and they were obviously very confident. The representative of them was Joe. The Earl of Lal and the Earl of Preston, among others.

Of course, more people's expressions are more ugly, and they are the group of people whose combat effectiveness has declined the most.

Seeing Reiner's arrival, these lords stood up one after another and cast their gazes at him.

"Are you ready, my vassals? Let me see how effective your army is!"

"Yes, Your Majesty...we are ready, I don't know...how do you want to test our combat effectiveness?" Earl Jollal stood up and glanced at the lords, and said to Reiner.

Before Reiner could speak, he continued: "Just before you arrived, your vassals had a discussion, and they thought it would be a very good choice to hold the same military parade as before!"

After listening to Earl Jollal's words, Reiner turned his eyes to the other vassals, nodding his head wherever he looked.

But how could Leiner let them get what they wanted? If it was just a simple military parade, their true combat effectiveness would not be seen. Maybe they would have more excuses after the end. Leiner didn't want to make a mess of things.

Therefore, he said lightly: "No need, I think it is a better way for me to conduct a military exercise, and it will also allow me to better understand the strength of my vassals.

"A military exercise? What is a military exercise?" Another vassal asked in a hurry after hearing what Leiner said.

"Military exercises are two armies fighting each other. Through this method, you can hone your combat effectiveness and at the same time clearly see the strength of the soldiers."

"What do you think of this method?" Although Reiner asked in a questioning tone, his expression was very, very serious.
