Black Iron Crown

Chapter 281: Conscription

"Good Lord Earl...but, if you build a lot of farm tools as you said, our armor manufacturing speed may slow down a lot...This may disrupt your plan of conscription!"

There are now 200 ordinary blacksmiths in Lena's territory, and 20 junior blacksmiths exchanged from the system.

Most of these blacksmiths were snatched from other lords. In this era, this kind of craftsman is definitely one of the lifeblood of a territory, and it is one of the most sought-after goods no matter where it is.

So Rainer concentrated all of them in Mecalon City.

Now the entire territory has a population of more than 170,000. No matter how many agricultural tools are built in a short period of time, they will absolutely not be able to supply the territory for use, but will affect the output of other iron tools.

Rainer stroked the short beard on his chin, closed his eyes slightly and thought for a while.

Then opened his eyes and said to Sir Cod: "Let ordinary blacksmiths build iron farm tools. As for skilled blacksmiths, just build armors and weapons. After all, their skills are even more superb!"

Sir Cod nodded, indicating that he understood what Rainer meant, and then walked out of the study to implement Rainer's order.

Rainer now has a part of armor inventory, but these inventory does not meet his demand for conscription.

As for the trophies previously obtained from the battlefield, those chain armors are all sparse chain armors with four buckles, and the ones that are better are only five buckles. However, what Rainer equips the soldiers with is all six. Buckle.

Although the burden is a little heavier, the safety is not comparable to those shoddy chain armors.

Moreover, Rainer's army is more than just a set of chain armor. In addition to the chain armor, the sergeants have their full body armor, a layer of board throat guards, and armor pieces on their boots.

These are all configured after Rainer, and in addition to a chain armor, ordinary soldiers also have a simple tie to wear well. At the same time, the chain armor throat and chain armor boots are also time-consuming to make.

Under such equipment, their ability to survive is extremely high, but the cost is also huge. He could not use the previous trophies for soldiers at all. A total of six hundred sets of full-body chain armor can only be found in Reiner’s warehouse. Waiting for sale.

At this time, the city of Micalon was already a lot more prosperous compared to a month ago. Although the mercenaries and knights guessed that Rainer was going to conscript, they obviously did not expect that Rainer's target was not them.

Yes, Rainer did not choose those mercenaries with stronger combat effectiveness. Instead, he selected self-cultivators and some serfs with physical fitness standards in the entire territory to join his army.

Indeed, the mercenaries are very powerful, but this is not what Rainer needs.

What he needed was the kind of united army like the Morland sergeants, like the Morland soldiers, that abide by the military discipline, the formation is strict, and the Taishan collapsed in front of the front.

Rather than swarming up when they win a battle, they are scattered all at once when they are defeated.

Although their combat effectiveness is strong, such an army that cannot be dictated by an arm is better than not.

Although they failed to join Rainer's army, their influx has injected new life into the city of Mekalong, and the copper pieces have been spent out of their hands, which greatly promoted the development of commerce.

At the same time, those merchants who had left the northern border also came back one after another, bringing their own caravans or new goods, and began to sell or buy in the northern border.

In this way, day after day, year after year, they sell specialty products from all over the mainland to other regions to promote communication between different regions.

The conscription campaign lasted fifteen days.

The high treatment of Rainer's army has spread throughout the territory in a short period of time, because residents everywhere have found that the soldiers under Lord Earl's clothes are so decent and their shots are also very generous.

As soon as I inquired it, I knew that you would get a lot of money from selling your life to the Lord Earl.

After hearing that in addition to military payments, there were death pensions and military merit rewards, the residents rushed to break their heads and wanted to join Rainer's army.

In the end, Rainer repeatedly raised the standard of conscription, and only then did a recruit of 1,200 men join his army.

For this reason, Rainer also deliberately trimmed a huge simple military camp outside the city of Mekalong as a training place for them.

Rainer was now wearing a gorgeous, a complex of gold-inlaid tie armor and chain armor. At the same time, he also carried a certain amount of gold on his head. The earl's crown was much lower than the crown.

A long sword inlaid with precious stones was hung from his waist.

The breeze in the early spring was still a bit cold, and everyone couldn't help but feel cold.

Standing on a makeshift four-meter high platform, Leiner paced twice, then stood still, with his head up high and vigorously looking at the slightly messy soldiers below.

Although they didn't have much discipline at this time, Lena couldn't help smiling satisfied looking at their sturdy bodies.

Because everyone is eager to join the army of Rainer, he can choose at will. In order to eliminate more people, he makes people raise the standard of conscription.

In other words, standing here now is the strongest 1,200 people among the 170,000 people in the entire northern border.

All of them are at least about 1.7 meters tall, and even taller ones are close to 1.8 meters, and they seem to be almost the same as those of Sergeant Merland.

Although they are still in various shapes and have no military discipline at this time, Leiner believes that in a few months they will understand what military discipline is.

"Soldiers! You are the best lads in the entire territory! You will receive the cruelest training here! But at the same time, you will receive the highest salary and the best food!"

Rainer paced back and forth, standing on the high platform and shouting loudly, his face flushed slightly.

"Serve under my hands! Work for me! You will never suffer! I will not treat you badly!"

Reiner gave a speech ~lightnovelpub.net~ to fool this group of soldiers, but they couldn't find the north, and they cheered frantically, wishing to take out their hearts and give them to the Lord Earl.

After brushing his face, Rainer left the barracks.

He has planned the training of these soldiers. The previous soldiers will be their captains and instructors. Anyway, the previous batch of soldiers were brought out like this.

Kerim was packing his bags and preparing to report to the military camp outside the city.

Their organization has been completely disrupted, the previous squad has long ceased to exist, most of them have become the captains of the recruits, and the first task is to be responsible for training them.

Of course, this is because Rainer didn't have any foreign troubles to do so. The last private, Earl Twarin, was also solved. In a short time, he didn't need to worry about someone attacking him.

"Klim... It seems we have made a difference..."

A soldier was surrounded by a large package, and said sadly to Kerim who was packing up his things.
