Black Iron Crown

Of course, dear Sir Vallas, I am more than happy to accept your allegiance to me, Reiner said with a smile.

However, Reiner is also clear that such a powerful combat power is not for nothing. In contrast, Reiner has to pay them two silver coins as a military salary every month.

If Reiner wanted to maintain the number of Scarlet Griffon Knights at one hundred, then he would have to pay as much as two hundred and forty gold coins every year.

Speaking of which, the current annual income of the Murland family's territory is only a dozen gold coins, and the 100 blood-colored griffin knights have to be collected by the Murland family for more than ten years without eating or drinking. This shows how expensive this is.

The current Merland family only has a dozen knights and more than 60 armed guards. As a baron family, although such strength is not strong, it is by no means weak.

These five knights who don't need a fief but only need a salary are quite timely for Leiner. After all, even the Merland family doesn't have many villages that can be divided out. These five Scarlet Griffin Knights The arrival of the family has greatly increased the strength of the family.

Anyway, in Leiner's view, these five knights are the most affordable items in the entire novice gift package.

In Leiner's view, these five blood-colored griffin knights, who are wearing such excellent armor and can be called elites in many battles, have no problem dealing with dozens of infantrymen in this era.

"Oh, my dear nephew, who are they? They seem to be a group of noble people, are they friends of the people when you were traveling outside?" Reiner's uncle, Sir Codd, asked and came out of the castle. He was afraid of this. The territory passed down from brother to nephew by a group of outsiders is threatened.

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

This can be easily seen from the opponent's equipment. Kord does not doubt the opponent's combat effectiveness, but what makes him doubt is whether the opponent will have evil intentions.

Although there are only five people on the other side, the combat power produced by these five people is not small. If the other party has other thoughts, it will definitely be a fatal blow to this baron. Therefore, Sir Cod, a traditional knight, is very important to these visitors. Appears very vigilant.

"Yes Your Excellency, we are Lord Leiner who we met when Lord Leiner traveled to the frigid forest. We originally belonged to the Scarlet Griffon Knights, and we attacked the Abul barbarians in the snow field. That is a terrible group. We Our ancestors have established camps there since 400 years ago to avoid the encirclement and suppression of the false king who usurped the throne, and the Abul people often attacked us. We have rich land and excellent equipment. After hundreds of years of development We already have tens of thousands of people, and they are eyeing everything we have, and we have fought each other again and again!

Although Sir Valas is very humble to Reiner, they don't have that much respect for people other than their lord. There is incomparable pride in what he said. He has suppressed orcs in another world for fifty years. What a proud record this is. Even if they cannot tell the truth when they come to this world, the pride from their hearts cannot be concealed.

"They are tall and strong, and even extremely crude weapons can exert great power in their hands. During an ambush by the enemy, our territory was breached, and the Knights and our army were almost wiped out. And at this moment, Lord Reiner led his attendants to attack the enemy's center and killed the chief of the opponent, which saved us!"

Compared with what he said before, what he said was much more sincere. After all, he was his lord, so he still wanted to save face.

"Although we were still defeated by the Arbors because of insufficient replenishment, we still couldn't forget the heroic demeanor of Lord Reiner. Therefore, after the destruction of the Knights, we immediately went south to seek refuge with Lord Reiner!"

Sir Wallas said proudly to Sir Cord,

The helmets of the other four blood-colored griffin knights also raised slightly, and the blood-red feathers on them fluttered gently with the breeze.

Kord turned his gaze to Reiner again, nodded and said to his father, "That's right, my dear uncle, we did meet like that before!"

Immediately afterwards, Reiner turned to the knights, and said regretfully, "I didn't expect such a situation to happen again not long after we parted!"

"Did all of your people die in that war?" Reiner asked.

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

"This is really a pity. The heroic knights who gathered together for the Holy Father and their faith will encounter such a thing. You can rest assured to serve under my command, and I will guarantee your safety and treatment!"

After finishing speaking, all five knights got off their horses, took off their helmets and knelt down on one knee, raised the long sword worn around their waists with both hands, and said to Reiner: "My lord! Please accept our loyalty, what your long sword points to The position is the direction of our charge! We are willing to shed the last drop of blood for you, willing to give our hearts for you!"

"Very good!" Reiner nodded, and then said solemnly: "Since you and your family are willing to serve me and my family, then I and my descendants must treat you and your family well, 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 definitely use our lives to safeguard all your interests, your dignity, and the interests of your descendants!"

After taking the oath, Leiner helped the five of them up one by one, and placed them in the castle after consulting Baron Codd's opinion.

Although the castle of the Moreland family is not big, it is just a relatively low stone castle, but it is still quite good compared to the fortifications called castles that are made of mud and wood.

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

Over the past few days, almost all the families connected with the Moreland family have known that the eldest son of the Moreland family has returned from his travels. Just like the Middle Ages that Reiner knew in his previous life, the inheritance system here is absolute primogeniture inheritance, so , Reiner had just returned to the territory after his travels, and he inherited the title of baron from his father, whom he had never met.

While Reiner was sweating and practicing swordsmanship in the martial arts arena, a guard suddenly came to him and said, "My lord, there is an outsider who claims to be the knight of Earl Redmara. I hope to see you." You said it was something very important!"

"Earl Redmara?" Reiner frowned slightly. The nearby noble lineages are all in the illustrated book of the Moreland family, and Rainer hasn't seen this person's Count Redmara from the illustrated book in the past few days. Name, obviously this is a foreign nobleman.

"What did he ask me for?" Reiner thought for a while, there was no intersection between the two parties, and he believed in being courteous for nothing, and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

In addition, he has just arrived in the territory and has not yet 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 to the guard. My study!"

As he spoke, he put on the casual clothes that were placed beside him, put down the wooden sword in his hand, and walked towards his study.
