Black Iron Crown

The hall of the main castle is full of joyful atmosphere. After the upgrade, even the hall of Murland Castle has become much larger, more than doubled in size.

The servants shuttled between the dining tables and kept putting the ingredients on the table. Of course, there were no tricks in it. What good things could a low-level noble like him get.

Productivity restricts the variety of things he can eat on weekdays. Except for some delicious Northland specialties, they are nothing more than honey, broth, and barbecue. Even in this season, they can't even eat fruits. Let the table color be monotonous.

However, the knights under Leiner didn't care about these. For them, being able to eat such things is already very good, not to mention that the focus of this banquet is not to eat, but to reward them next.

The servants quickly arranged the food. The banquet is very expensive. Generally speaking, a baron only holds it once or twice a year. Those big nobles may have to do it more often, after all, they have more subordinates to win over. , but even that is only five or six times a year, and their financial resources cannot afford any more.

Reiner's banquet this time was fine, it was an internal celebration banquet, and only the knights and their families under the Merland family participated. If other nobles were invited to this banquet, it would cost more than that.

But speaking of it, at this time, most of the lords in the northern border were huddled in the castle. Even the nobles who were a little closer to the south were hiding in the castle, waiting for the winter to pass and continue their activities.

So once winter comes, it will bring about a stagnation of news, otherwise, the defeat of Baron Lobean will soon spread, and then other nobles will swarm like sharks smelling blood, Divide up the fruits of Leiner's victory.

All the guests were seated, and the torches around the hall were blazing, and the dancing sparks illuminated the shadows of the figures, which seemed mysterious and weird.

But the guests didn't care about this, because in their impression, the banquet should look like this.

There were more than fifty guests in the hall, except for the knights, they were all their families, and everyone put on their most decent clothes. Although the knights were only the lowest nobles, their families still Not so ragged, after all, one or two hundred people support them.

The financial situation of the knights in Fort Moreland is very good. All the chain armor made by Leiner's blacksmiths are sold to them at a low price, and equipment and other things can be replaced at Leiner at a very low price.

Of course, it is impossible for him to provide them with equipment for free. The reason why they have fiefs is to allow them to pay for equipment at their own expense. Only those apprentice knights who do not have fiefs will get the equipment issued by Reiner.

Reiner sat on the long table in the center of the hall. Apart from the members of the Moreland family, sitting on this long table were all knights with fighting abilities. A dozen or so people were doing well on this long table. Reiner sat at the top, and next to him was his mother Mrs. Moreland, the first on the left was his uncle Sir Cod, and the one on the right was Valla, the leader of the Scarlet Griffin Knights. Sir.

There are ten knight families under the entire Merland family, which means that a total of ten villages have been divided out, and there are only twelve villages under the control of Reiner.

In fact, the population of Fort Moreland should have been quite large, but because it faces the invasion of the Klades every year, the population growth rate in the territory is very slow.

Otherwise, the population of Fort Merland would have already surpassed Fort Gore. How could the twenty-two villages not have as many people as the eighteen villages in Goreburg.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Reiner stood up and raised his glass and said, "We have won! Not only the war against the Klades has been won! The Gwen family was also defeated by our attack,

Golburg has become the area I rule! !

"This is not only due to me alone, I must admit that it is true! This is also due to my knights! It is you!" Lena glanced at the sitting knights and said.

"It was you who launched the most powerful charge and defeated the formation of the Kraders, causing them to fail completely! It was also you who overcame the exhaustion of your body and marched in the middle of the night, and arrived in Fort Morland in time to defeat Baron Lobean , I must thank you, my brothers, and I must acknowledge your contributions!"

"Let's drink to the bravery of the knights!" Reiner said, raising his glass.

Everyone present was flushed, especially the knights on the long table, they all raised their glasses excitedly and stood up from their chairs, even Little Wende, who was sitting at the back, also raised his glass. Inside his glass was mild ale, just the right drink for a teenager his age.

It seems that he was overwhelmed by Reiner's words, and that's right, thirteen or fourteen-year-old children always think that the battlefield is extremely romantic, so he also felt extremely excited when he heard these words that had nothing to do with him .

"I must reward you for your contributions! Goerburg belongs to me now, and I will share the villages under it with you!"

Reiner pulled out the long sword tied around his waist, and walked to Lumbare's side. As a boy who was also sixteen years old, this was the second time he went to the battlefield to fight against the enemy, but the education and training he received since he was a child was different. Let him have no discomfort in killing and fighting, and perform well on the battlefield.

"Sir Rumbare!"

"Yes, my lord!" Lumbare immediately knelt on one knee and stroked his left chest with his right hand, offering his heart.

Reiner put the long sword on his right shoulder, and said: "Sir Lumbare fought the enemy bravely on the battlefield without retreating, which greatly helped the battle, so I divided the cabbage village under Goerburg Give you as your fief, where you can collect taxes, conscript troops, protect the residents there, or extort money, this is the right I have given you!"

"At the same time, on the contrary, you have to fulfill the oath you made to me, use the population and resources there to serve me, and immediately gather the army to me when I have a call, and at the same time abide by the laws I specify, can you Can you do it?"

"Yes, my lord, I will obey all your orders and protect you with my life. The direction your long sword points to is the target of my charge!" Lumbare said excitedly, sixteen years old Owning a fief of one's own is rare among knights.

After listening, Reiner tapped his shoulder three times and said, "I hope you can keep your oath. Now, Cabbage Village is your fief!"

Next, Leiner conferred fiefs on the remaining five knights without fiefs one by one, while the Scarlet Griffon knights received property rewards. After all, they were arms exchanged from the system. Yap is not a necessity for them.
