Black Iron Crown

The castle of the Moreland family is a small stone castle, the outer wall is about three meters high, and soldiers can stand on it to attack the enemies outside.

There are two wooden arrow towers of about five meters on both sides, where archers can also shoot at the enemies outside the city.

Reiner was sitting on a chair in the middle of the study, casually flipping through a knight novel, and after a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Lord Baron, the Earl's envoy has arrived!"

"Come in!" Reiner said, and the door of the study was opened. After the guard saluted, he closed the door and stood guard outside.

I saw a knight wearing a slightly dilapidated armor and a bandage on his shoulders walking over. His distressed appearance made Reiner very strange, what happened to the Viscount's envoy?

"Uh... my dear messenger, I don't know what happened to make you like this?" Reiner asked.

"My lord Baron!" The other party looked very painful and said, "In fact, I should have given my life for the safety of my lord, but I had to do so. I escaped shamefully, but I just I hope my master can be saved!"

"What happened? Please speak slowly!" The memory in his mind allowed Reiner to accept everything in this world without any difficulty. At the same time, his behavior and tone of speech were very similar to those of his predecessor.

"My lord, please save my master. This may be a group of lawbreakers in your territory. The only one I can turn to for help is you. If my master didn't attend Viscount Mora's banquet, it wouldn't be like this! "

He spoke a little incoherently, but the overall meaning was still clear.

Reiner pondered for a while, and then said to the guards outside: "Go and call Sir Cod over, I have something to discuss with him!"

After a while, Sir Corder came to the study, and when he saw the embarrassed knight, he cast a questioning look at Reiner.

After explaining it, Sir Corder said angrily, "Damn it! The red dwarf must have done it!"

"There were forty of them, about forty, and their equipment was very poor, but my master had only six knights and a few retinues around me, and they launched a sneak attack on us, and we didn't wear armor. , Their shooting caused us heavy losses, only I found a horse and fled from there!"

This time, what he said was much clearer, allowing Reiner to clearly understand the opponent's strength.

Seeing the puzzled eyes of the two, Sir Corder explained: "In the past two years, there has been a hateful group of robbers in the territory. They seem to have fled here from other areas, and many caravans were killed when they passed by. Looting or commissions have resulted in a lot of loss of income from the territory, although they tried to mobilize the army to wipe them out several times, but every time they got into the forest and escaped!"

After finishing speaking, Sir Corder said even more angrily: "And your previous coma was caused by these damned guys. They saw that there were only two followers around you, so they marked your attention, causing your head to be slashed." You were knocked unconscious by the stone, but fortunately I had already received the news that you were coming back and led a few knights to meet you, so you survived!"

"So that's how it is!" Reiner suddenly realized, he was still curious about the reason for his coma, and now he finally learned from Sir Corder that there are still such a group of lawbreakers in his territory.

But Reiner noticed at this time that after listening to these words, a hidden smile flashed in the eyes of the earl's envoy.

Not expensive, he didn't think much about it, he just thought that the other party was happy that the master was saved.

"Forty people!" Leiner squinted his eyes and murmured in his heart. These troops are not very difficult for him. Not to mention anything else, Leiner's biggest reliance is the five blood-colored griffin knights.

As one of the top arms in the system, as long as Reiner is given 200 Scarlet Griffin Knights, he even dares to attack the army of ten thousand people.

In fact, Reiner has reason to believe that the Scarlet Griffin Knights can reduce people to annihilation without injury. After all, the armor on them has surpassed the times, and the plate-chain composite armor is definitely not something that robbers with inferior iron weapons can break through.

"Ding! The mission is released: wipe out the criminals on the territory."

"As the master of this territory, you must not allow situations beyond your control to appear in your territory, and destroy them!"

"Task reward: two junior blacksmiths, exquisite recurve bow x 15."

Looking at the system template that appeared in front of him, Reiner smiled slightly. Sure enough, although his system is very low-level, he still has the ability to issue tasks.

Perhaps because of the first mission, the rewards this time are very generous, not to mention the fifteen exquisite recurve bows, but the two junior blacksmiths alone are very satisfying to Reiner.

The northern border of the empire itself is rich in iron mines. There are countless branches of large and small iron mines here. There are as many as five large iron mines established and mined by the royal family alone. Even the territory of the Merland family has There is a small iron mine, and more than a dozen miners dig it every day, and then smelt it in a unified way.

This is also the reason why even ordinary guards of the Moreland family can wear armor mixed with leather armor and chain armor.

As for the two junior blacksmiths, they have very good attributes. Reiner browsed through many things in the system from the very beginning, and a junior blacksmith even needs ten points of merit to be able to redeem them.

This is already half the price of the Scarlet Griffin Knight. After all, this is a skilled job, so it is reasonable to have such a high price.

A junior blacksmith can produce five high-quality long swords or fifteen long spear heads every day, and as for the whole body chain armor, it can weave one set every ten days.

This is a very good speed. It takes more than 20 days for the four blacksmiths of the Moreland family to weave a set of full-body chain armor.

Looking at these rewards strengthened Reiner's determination, and immediately he said to the other party: "Don't worry, I will definitely not stand idly by! I believe that any noble person with a conscience will not allow a noble person to be punished." humiliated by lowly outlaws!"

"Thank you very much, my lord baron, my master's safety depends entirely on you!"

Reiner led the escaped knight out of the hall and rushed to the center of the castle.

After the order to assemble the army was issued, everyone completed the assembly the next morning.

At this time, in the center of the castle, the soldiers had already gathered together. Sixty armed guards wearing leather chain composite armor and holding two-meter-five spears and twenty archers holding hunting bows gathered together.

In addition, there were eleven knights on war horses. Those knights in their fiefs also rode their draft horses to Fort Morland within two hours.

Each of them wore a full-body chain armor with four links, especially a scale armor vest added to the torso, which greatly enhanced their protective ability. Mine, any nobleman would be happy to enhance the equipment of his knights.

Besides that, there are the blood-colored Griffin Knights wearing mighty armor. Their formation is so neat that even if there are only five of them, they still look like an army.

All the soldiers knew that these five knights wearing incomparably fine armor and looking quite powerful were under Lord Reiner's command, so they seemed to respect them very much.

Reiner surveyed the army in front of him, then looked at the Scarlet Griffon Knight, with a clearly satisfied expression on his face, and he said loudly in the tone of people of this era: "Soldiers! Lawbreakers are on our territory Raging! The majesty of the Merland family has been challenged, and another noble earl was kidnapped by them before!"

"Now, it's time for us to clean up the trash! Destroy them! Soldiers will get 40% of the spoils! Now, follow me!"
