Black Iron Crown

Chapter 235: Preparation before the war

Tirehan put the bow in his hand back on the horse, and spit out a puff of white smoke. He wanted to cause more damage to the enemy, but there was no way. The number of troops he led was really too small, even if it was exhausted. All he could do was the casualties of more than two hundred people brought by the enemy.

After taking a deep look at the opponent's overwhelming formation, Tillihan retracted his gaze and issued an order to retreat to the soldiers under his command.

"Head, did we leave like this?" The horse archers huddled around Tillihan and asked unwillingly. Such a difference is really rare. The Clade's head is worth three bronzes, killing. They just need to shoot solid, it's not too simple, it would be a shame to give up like this.

"It's just an order from Lord Earl, do you dare to resist?" Tillihan cast a cold glance at him and said.

"I dare not...Of course I dare not..."

In the evening, due to winter, the sky is already out of sight. Even the moon hanging in the mirror in autumn and summer is covered by dark clouds in the sky, showing no light. The sky and the earth are dark like ghosts. It looks terrifying.

At this time, Fort Morand was already full of troops. Thirteen lords gathered here. They were all vassals closer to Reiner. Under the darkness, they entered the castle through the dim firelight. Stationed.

Lena's army also geared up in the barracks to prepare for the next battle.

"Very well, my vassals!" Rainer banqueted the thirteen vassals who came in a small room. He was wearing the usual gorgeous uniforms. After all, this was just a private informal banquet.

Rainer raised his wine glass with a smile on his face. He brought the lords who came here and said with a smile: "My vassals, your loyalty is already in my eyes. In the days to come Here, I will never treat you badly! There will always be a place for you at my banquet!"

"We will always be loyal, my lord!" The lords stood up from their chairs one after another upon hearing the words, with wine glasses in their hands, all eyes were on Lena, and they once again issued the vows they had said countless times.

"The Klads harass and plunder us every year! Compared to you, it's already annoying, right? This time I will do it once and for all, and leave all the Klads who came in!" Lenner gritted his teeth. Said.

However, all of this was just acting. He didn't feel very angry. On the contrary, he felt that it was great for the Clades to be able to give heads in the winter when no production activities were carried out.

Not only does it not affect farming, hunting, and gathering, but it also brings a lot of merit to Lena. Lena has to raise his thumb to admire, clad people are all alive!

The banquet was very short and ended in a hurry. All the lords did not drink much under Reiner’s persuasion, but just tasted it. After all, the battle was coming soon, and he didn’t want to let these lords. If you don’t have a computer to drink, it’s not good if you have to wait for them to get up early in the morning.

Early the next morning, there was a strong fragrance floating in the entire castle. Since all the troops have returned to the castle barracks, today's food tastes the strongest.

The oatmeal paste that has been thrown away by the hot water is gushing in the big earthenware pot, while the goat's milk mixed with a part of soybean dregs is heated in the earthenware pot on the other side, which is gurgling in the fire. After soaking, there are a lot of big chunks of dried meat and fresh meat in the oatmeal paste, which looks extremely rough, in addition to some unknown dried vegetables, sprinkled with a handful of salt, it is very delicious. After the soldiers filled a large bowl with wooden bowls, they ate them with relish with the brown bread in their hands.

Rainer didn't like this kind of food, he still couldn't accept this kind of big pot, and the dairy product like goat's milk was also a taboo lowly food for the nobles, but for the soldiers, he liked this kind of food very much.

A large amount of goat milk and meat ensure that they have sufficient protein support. A little dried vegetables may provide them with a small amount of vitamins. After the main meal is over, they will also get a piece of chicken liver or fish oil of various sizes. In short, they The food is very nutritious and rich in protein.

This scent also attracted the army of other lords. Their food was only dry and hard air-dried meat and black bread mixed with sand. The oatmeal paste looked like vomit when boiled in a clay pot. , Smelling the scent of the army food in Fort Morland, and then looking at the food in front of him, he found it difficult to swallow.

Kerim is now a mature soldier. Although the original veterans in the team still call them recruits, they are almost the same as the veterans in terms of combat effectiveness and status.

He was holding a piece of chicken liver and nibbling, he had already drank three bowls of goat's milk and two bowls of broth, with two pieces of pure brown bread without impurities, he was already full of burps. .

However, under the indoctrination of the officers to be stronger by eating more, he still chose to eat a large piece of chicken liver.

"Hey... there is no fruit, there is no taste in the mouth..." The other soldier with chicken liver in his hand complained slightly.

"What nonsense? Did you live a life like this before? We now have meat to eat and milk to drink. These are all brought by Lord Earl. You are not allowed to complain like this!" Hearing what the soldier said, the leader The stubborn stubborn captain turned his head and yelled viciously.

"Hey...hehe... Am I just saying this casually?" The soldier smiled, and then he seemed to remember something and quickly asked Kerim next to him: "Krim, that suit of armor Has it been posted yet?"

"It's posted..." Klim said without looking back at the chicken liver in his hand~lightnovelpub.net~ Then he seemed to remember something, his face was full of schadenfreude: "You won't be Because you didn’t receive Zhajia at home on vacation, did you?"

"Hi! I...I!" The soldier looked panicked, he was at a loss and didn't know what he was talking about.

"What are you waiting for? Let the captain take you to find the quartermaster!" Klim reminded him by patting him on the shoulder after a short while.

"Yes, yes..." The soldier immediately walked into the castle holding his captain's arm, looking for the quartermaster.

Klim smiled helplessly, threw the remaining large piece of chicken liver into his mouth, and walked to the shelf beside his bed.

On the shelf are two sets of all-iron armor, inside is a set of six-ring buckle full-body chain armor, and outside is an iron tie armor that strengthens the chest protection and the shoulders and limbs, but only reaches the thighs.

The two sets of armors are all wiped bright, and there is no trace of dust at all. At the top of the shelf is a chain armor neck guard, only a pair of eyes are worn and iron cap helmets are combined together. There is a different kind of mighty feeling.
