Black Iron Crown

Chapter 423: Tournament begins

"..."

The scene was a lot of silence for a while, the royal lords either looked at each other or watched their noses and noses. In short, not many people stood up to support Leiner on the spot.

Although Reiner's current strength is very strong, it is only to reach the strength of the original heyday of Grand Duke Mabra.

Grand Duke Mabula did not bring all his power in countering the rebellion at that time. Only one of the three earls and vassals went with the army, and the direct power of the Grand Duke Mabula only took half of it.

Rainer is indeed strong enough, and has shown enough strength on the battlefield, but after all, the vitality of the royal lords is greatly injured, and the imperial capital has also begun a large-scale army expansion.

If Rainer's strength is not enough for the imperial capital to stand up against courtesy, then this alliance is dispensable.

"Haha, I don't think there is any problem with this proposal!" Earl Cholar said carelessly.

Lena glanced at him, and was moved by his support in his heart.

Speaking of which, Rainer knew that decisions could not be made casually on this kind of matter, and he was not surprised even if Earl Joral could not support himself at this time.

"Um...I am willing to support Earl Rainer!" After a while, the Earl of Pushtown also said slowly.

Rainer was even more grateful for him.

To be honest, although the Earl of Puston is more stable than Earl Chollar, it also makes him more unpredictable, but it is not completely different from Earl Chollar's carefree and easy interpersonal character.

His willingness to stand up and support himself this time really went beyond Rainer's expectations.

He turned his gaze to the Earl of Pushtown, only to see that the other party smiled at him and nodded insignificantly.

"Should..." Rainer thought quietly in his heart, and his trust in the Earl of Pushtown gradually increased to the same level as Earl Jolar.

Indeed, Earl Jolar originally evaluated him as an upright person, but it is also difficult for this kind of person to get the most sincere friendship. Although Reiner admits that he is his friend, it is really difficult to want full trust.

But the other party still supports himself in the current situation, which is not something ordinary friends can do.

Lena looked at the vacillating royal lords and couldn't help but smile and said: "It's okay, it's still a long time anyway, you can give me a reply after you think about it!"

Rainer didn't intend to let them all support him, he knew that before he showed more powerful strength, he might not be so easy to get everyone's support.

The purpose of holding this competition is to show their strength and let everyone see if they have the strength to be the leader of the royal family.

Although he had suffered great losses on the battlefield before, the original militia system was considered successful. After several months of training, Rainer absorbed some of them into the army.

Although there is a gap with the soldiers who have actually experienced the fight on the battlefield, it is better than the recruits who have not been trained at all.

The two junior barracks in Rainer's territory were not idle either. Over seven months, they had contributed 140 Sergeants Merland to him, and the losses on the battlefield had been made up for.

In addition to this, Rainer was deeply aware of the weakness of long-range power in this war, so he absorbed a considerable part of hunters in his territory to train as archers.

However, the scarlet gryphon knight Rainer, who suffered a great loss on the battlefield, had only ten people left, and spent a huge price to replenish it, returning to the size of thirty people.

Just to replenish the army, Rainer spent more than a thousand merit points, and now he only has five thousand merit points left to use at will.

However, he is now fond of a very expensive building, but the effectiveness of this building is really so that Leiner can't refuse.

It was a barracks of the Scarlet Gryphon Knights, and there were only two special effects after the construction.

They are: "The shining of the blood of the Griffin, increase the various attributes of the Scarlet Griffin Knights by 10%"

"Gryphon's punishment, the Scarlet Gryphon Knights are jealous, and the banditry in the territory of the Scarlet Gryphon Knights barracks has been reduced by 30%."

These two stunts are not against the sky, but at least they are very practical effects, and the biggest role of this barracks is the mass production of Scarlet Gryphon Knights.

Twenty Scarlet Griffin Riders and four Scarlet Griffon followers are produced every year. Although the production efficiency is far lower than that of Rainer's junior barracks, the production is all the Scarlet Griffin Knights of the Heaven-defying troop.

Twenty men per year, which means that after ten years, Rainer will have five 100-man Scarlet Griffins, a powerful military unit composed of twenty knights and eighty sergeants.

What's so terrible about holding such a powerful army in your hands?

However, it is a pity that the exchange price of this Scarlet Gryphon Knights Barracks is 12,000 points of merit, and Rainer now has a difference of more than 7,000 points of merit.

At this time, there were already a lot of people around the martial arts venue, where tens of thousands of people gathered.

The number of knights who signed up for the competition this time reached more than 1,500, a very terrifying number.

Among them, there were more than 800 knights of the lords of the royal family. There were also more than 300 knights of Rainer and his vassals, and the remaining more than 400 were wandering knights from all over the world.

Reiner built a huge competition ground for this game, and today is the day when the competition officially begins.

So early, the knights, their rebels, and local residents gathered outside the competition arena to take a look at this grand game.

Reiner is pleased that the cost of this game was huge, but the return he got from selling tickets actually reached more than half of the cost.

In addition to the seats in the front row for Rainer and the royal lords, there is still a lot of surplus, so the merchants and wealthy people everywhere in order to watch this competition~lightnovelpub.net~ spend a lot of money from Rainer Buying a seat in the front row in his hands, the fare for the front row has now reached three gold coins.

In addition, Rainer's vassals also took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. They sold out the extra front seats in their hands, but received four or five gold coins.

Waiting for the banquet to come to an end, Rainer smiled and said to the royal lords: "It's not too long since the start of the competition, so why don't we just go to the competition ground to get ready!"

The 14th of November in the 25th year of the Empire.

Afternoon.

The banquet was over, and the lords followed Rainer to the huge competition arena outside the city.

Rainer led everyone to the front row of the competition arena, and the seats arranged according to the realization were seated one after another.

After they entered, the spectators who bought the tickets also walked into the stands looking for their seats.
