Black Iron Crown

Chapter 12 Army Mobilization

However, after all, the Moreland family is very majestic. Reiner's father and grandfather are trustworthy lords, and the knights and residents of the territory are also very convinced of the Moreland family.

What's more, Leiner still has five hardcore supporters in his hands, the Scarlet Gryphon Knight, whose incomparably powerful combat power has been spread through the last battle against the red dwarf.

In addition, there are quite a few relatives in the Moreland family. Reiner's father's younger brother and his uncle's family are also supporters of Reiner. Therefore, although Reiner does not have absolute control over the territory now, at least he does not. No one dared to disobey Reiner's orders.

"Are you sure you want to do this? This year's snow is too heavy, and there will definitely be more Klades who come to plunder than in previous years. This is not something we can resist! We need to rely on Fort Moreland, which is our Guardian of the family!"

Sir Corder persuaded Reiner, but he had a clear understanding of the status of the two parties. Although he was the uncle of the other party, he was also his subject, so he paid great attention to his words.

"Uncle I know, but please believe me, counting the knights' retinues and infantry, our Moreland family can mobilize a team of more than 200 people. I have a way to gather our army together to deal with the scattered invasion at any time." The enemy launches an attack, and can detect enemies entering the territory from all directions at any time!"

Reiner said to Sir Cod, Reiner had thought of a way before, that is the legendary wolf smoke, of course, Reiner did not know how to make wolf smoke.

However, he also tried several times according to the gourd painting, and finally reached the point where he could find it within two kilometers.

Anyway, the boundary of the entire Fort Murland next to the frigid forest is only about seven or eight kilometers away, and only three or four piles of wolf smoke can be taken care of.

And a pile of wolf smoke only needs one or two soldiers to ignite. This method is still very effective for a border that is only seven or eight kilometers away.

After Reiner explained to Sir Corder, although he still had some doubts in his heart, he was finally not as worried as before.

The knights under Leiner's command did not dare to disobey their Lord Baron at all. They were afraid of Leiner's force, and also feared that they would bear the reputation of being disloyal to their master.

Therefore, even if they are not optimistic about this battle, even if they may die in this war with the barbarians, they still choose to obey the order of the lord.

The heavy snow had stopped for five days, and Leiner had issued an assembly order when the snow had just stopped. Now all the knights under Leiner's command had assembled at Fort Morland with their soldiers and retinues.

More than 200 soldiers gathered here. Moreland Fort is just a military castle rather than a town, so apart from Lena's family, there are only troops belonging to the Moreland family living in it.

Now there are so many more people all of a sudden, although it doesn't make the castle look crowded, it seems to be much more lively, but the soldiers and knights bring their own food, so Leiner doesn't need to pay for it, because this is The obligations they must fulfill to Reiner.

After the assembly was completed, Leiner held an impromptu banquet for the knights, and then led the army to leave the castle and head for the northern border.

The northern border is only about ten kilometers away from the castle, and it only takes about four hours to reach the border near the frigid forest.

Some prostitutes in Lena's territory want to go to the front line with the army, and now they don't know when the Klades will invade, so the army may stay there for more than a month, and if a month passes, then the Klades The chances of intrusion are much smaller.

"Will this thing really work?" Not only Sir Cod, but also the other knights under Reiner's heart, but the Scarlet Griffon Knight did not have such worries.

Although they have been embodied and have independent personalities and emotions,

But they have unconditional trust in Lena.

That night, Leiner asked the soldiers to pile up the prepared four piles of wolf smoke on the border of the territory. Once the Kraders appeared, they would immediately light the notification, and then use rapid movement tactics to wipe out the enemy.

Usually the plundering Klades belong to the same tribe. The barren cold zone forest cannot support a large tribe with more than 10,000 people, and even tribes with more than 5,000 people are extremely rare. They will divide their own plundering positions, Then go south to plunder, the well water does not violate the river water.

These people are generally stragglers, except for their large number, nothing can be compared with the regular army.

Therefore, as long as he does not face more than a thousand enemies at a time, Reiner is still very sure of victory.

The need to transfer property every year is just because it is impossible to predict which direction the enemy will enter from. Even letting knights patrol around on horseback is not very effective.

After all, neither humans nor war horses are machines, and they are not tireless. What's more, even if the enemy is discovered, there will be many fish that slip through the net.

Leiner intends to wipe out a large number of enemies in one stop, then keep the residents of each village on alert, and then strangle the Klades who escaped by chance.

After all, Reiner is currently organizing large-scale reclamation activities, and the manure and various livestock manures for several months have not been wasted, and they are fermenting in a big pit.

This is the farmyard manure for next year's plowing. The fermented manure is still very effective in fertilizing the field. He even stored up the bone meal that Reiner was not sure about.

The annual income of the Moreland family can only keep them from starvation and a slight surplus. If a series of huge expenses such as soldiers' salaries and armor replacements are included, it will be even more huge. If the income is small, the family will not be able to sustain it for a long time.

Therefore, Leiner's top priority is to solve the food problem in the territory. If the annual grain income cannot be self-sufficient and there is a huge surplus, it will be difficult for him to feel at ease. A world with a different body has not changed at all.

Because of this, he couldn't allow the Klade people to act recklessly in the territory. Apart from factors such as prestige, this was also a big reason.

At the same time, Baron Wedrim was looking into the distance in his bedroom in Fort Leinte next to Fort Moreland.

The entire land is covered in silver, and there are only a few sundries in the pure white world as embellishments. It is not until the northernmost frigid forest that there is some color, and there, a battle that is brewing for the entire northern border is brewing. A huge disaster.

All the residents of Leant Castle, about 2,000 people, were all transferred to the castle by him, food and all valuable things were no exception, but due to the low mobilization ability, there may be hundreds of people living outside the castle.

But he didn't know when the Klades would cross the frontier to burn, kill and loot, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Hey! Stupid! I thought he would be as composed as his father, but now it seems that he is just a self-righteous fool! Defeat the enemy? Humph! Who does he think he is? The battle incarnation of the Holy Father?"
