Black Iron Crown

Reiner was lying in the middle of the room, the flames in the fireplace were flying up and down, devouring the firewood for them to burn, and making crackling sounds from time to time, but for people of this era, this is the sound that represents warmth.

"System, carry out the monthly lottery draw!" Reiner said to the system in his heart, and the system will automatically issue a lottery chance once a month, which is called the monthly lottery draw.

There are a lot of prizes available for drawing, but in Leiner's opinion, most of them are useless things. In the past three months or so, the best thing he has drawn is only a prize worth ten merit points. Exquisite hand and half sword.

However, in line with the idea of ​​not drawing for nothing, Reiner still draws a lottery every month, in case his character explodes and draws something good.

"As you order, Your Excellency the Baron, the monthly lottery draw begins!"

Reiner stared intently at the lottery wheel in front of him, even though he was disappointed again and again, he still had a slight hope of winning something good.

"Congratulations on winning the hero role. Logan, the spy chief of the Baal Empire stationed in the Lesa area, once helped the Baal Empire steal information and successfully defeated the superior forces of the enemy. Loyalty: 95, Character: Cruel, comprehensive evaluation, four stars, is it qualified? now?"

Reiner looked at the system interface in front of him in ecstasy, and the huge sense of surprise made him almost jump up excitedly. This kind of four-star character is definitely something that can be met but not sought after.

In the system mall, each hero is worth a lot, even the cheapest one-star hero has thousands of merit points.

Not to mention this kind of four-star hero who has planned famous events. Although he doesn't know what the Baal Empire is, how can he be an ordinary person who can serve as a regional spy chief in a country?

These days, Reiner has always had a feeling of uneasiness, perhaps because he is in a foreign land, he always has a feeling that he cannot grasp the overall situation, although the situation of other nobles is similar to that of Reiner, but he just feels that disturbed.

But now it's all right, with this spy chief he can finally be stable, with such a heroic role, it would be a waste to not use it, forming a spy or an intelligence organization is very necessary for him, he must There must be a "Jinyiwei" who monitors the territory!

"Immediately!" Reiner said.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Baron, Logan has appeared outside your castle, please receive it in time!" The mechanical and electronic sound of the system sounded.

Reiner pushed open the door of the room and said to the guard at the door: "There is a person waiting outside the castle, go and bring him to me!"

Although the guard was curious about Reiner's order, he had to carry it out.

Soon, Logan appeared in front of Reiner.

"May you sweep away all enemies and be invincible. My dear great master, your most humble servant Logan bless you!" Logan said exaggeratedly.

It made Reiner a little embarrassed, he was just a little baron now, and he was not worthy of Logan's words of praise at all.

"Uh, very good, Logan, from today onwards you are my spy chief and help me build a powerful spy intelligence organization, but unfortunately, my finances are a bit tight now, so you need to wait for the time being without financial support." Help me take control of the territory without any circumstances!"

When Reiner said these words, he felt a little ashamed. He was like the incarnation of those unscrupulous bosses in his previous life, who wanted the horse to run fast but didn't let the horse eat grass.

But there is no way, Lena's current financial situation is indeed not optimistic. Although the taxes on the territory have been collected, they are just some real goods. Fortunately, the knights under him do not need salaries, but own the Merland family. bestowed fief.

However, those ordinary soldiers and the livestock in the castle all need food to feed, especially the war horses in the castle.

It needs high-quality soybeans, and occasionally it needs to be mixed with minced meat and eggs to ensure strength.

Coupled with the occasional banquets, the Moland family's finances are actually a little tight. If it wasn't for selling iron materials to the interior of the empire every year, it might have been stretched.

Leiner had already manifested two junior blacksmiths before, and they have been working hard to weave the iron chain armor for Leiner. The chain armor is very valuable. If it is in the interior of the empire, it will take a total of five gold coins to make it Buying a set, coupled with the tense situation in the empire now, the domestic lords are stalking the royal family, and the price of the iron armor has been rising all the way.

However, Reiner did not plan to sell the chain armor. After all, it was already winter, and the lords of the northern border of the empire had to prevent the invasion and plunder of the Klade barbarians every year.

The climate in the frigid forest is extremely harsh. Although it is less than a hundred kilometers away from the northern border, the temperature can vary by more than ten degrees.

The frigid forest, which is in severe winter for half of the year, cannot grow crops and livestock at all, so whenever winter comes, the Klad people will go south to plunder the northern border of the empire.

If food can be plundered, it will be easier for the opponent to survive the winter. If food cannot be plundered, then the casualties will also reduce the vulnerable population of their tribe and save some food.

In three months, two junior blacksmiths and two ordinary blacksmiths in the original castle weaved a total of eighteen sets of full-body chain armor. Reiner asked the guards of the Moreland family to compete, and the eighteen who won Only individuals can put on chain armor.

The army of the Merland family itself is all equipped with leather armor because it is backed by the forest and there are many animal skins in the cold zone forest. In addition to the prepared cheeks, more than one-third of the sixty armed guards have been equipped with leather armor. Armored.

Leiner has not been idle for more than three months. Of course, things like streamlining the staff must be done quickly. According to the understanding of his previous life, Leiner divided sixty soldiers into four teams, each with fifteen soldiers, each The squad was further divided into three combat groups. Although the group leader and squad leader hadn't been selected yet, they had already conducted three months of coordinated combat training.

For this reason, Leiner spent a lot of money. He spent fifteen meritorious deeds to purchase the junior infantry combat drills, just to train their cooperation and team combat capabilities. Up to now, he has mastered a lot of combat skills and formations.

But after all, the time is not long, and it is only a rough mastery. If you want to master it more proficiently, you need more time to train.

The size of the army is not large now, so it can continue to form an army alone. If the army size becomes larger in the future, Leiner will mix the various arms.

In order to keep their nutrition up to the amount of training, Leiner organizes the archers to hunt in the mountains every day, one is to hone their shooting skills, and the other is to bring back some meat to supplement nutrition for the army.

Otherwise, according to the current three meals a day of meat, Reiner really couldn't afford it.

What annoyed Reiner even more was that the previous rewards from the system were only fifteen exquisite recurve bows, but he had twenty archers, which cost Reiner another twenty merit points to make up for. I wonder if this is the system that is consuming in bundles.
