Chapter 371 Restoring the Arrogant Imperial Party
Reiner's direct army is in the central square of Mecaron City.
At this time, the square was already full of panic.
Although these soldiers did not engage in plundering and looting under the strict order of Leiner, for civilians, the army is definitely not something they can approach casually.
The word army represents more efficient killing, armed personnel with better discipline and equipment.
As the Chinese saying goes, bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like grates. Rainer restricts the behavior of soldiers, but it is not something that residents can offend at will.
After half a year of training, the recruits have already achieved initial results. The most important thing is that most of the soldiers recruited by Leiner this time were recruited from Mecaron and Fort Moreland.
Because these two places are rich, they don't have to worry about food and clothing, and the physical fitness of the soldiers is quite good, which can withstand more intensive training.
Each of these soldiers is lined with armed clothing, covered with full-body chain armor and simplified iron armor to assist vital parts.
In more than half a year, because Leiner exchanged another junior barracks, the number of Merland sergeants was more than before, reaching a total of 400 people.
In addition, Reiner now has more than one hundred and ten knights. In addition to those who defected to him before, there are also powerful martial arts selected from the Merland family.
Leiner granted fiefdoms to these relatives and sold armor at a low price, which allowed their combat effectiveness to take shape quickly.
But speaking of it, in the northern border, the structure of the armed forces under Leiner's command is already quite different from other lords of this era.
Having successfully formed a considerable number of regular troops, he no longer needs the knights to provide him with soldiers and followers. On the contrary, these knights who used to be able to form a combat unit are more often used as shock cavalry.
But as a feudal lord, he will not be so cheap for these people. They still need to undertake these military services and provide retinues and soldiers, but the number has been reduced and the quality requirements are higher.
The Scarlet Griffin Knights were as majestic as ever, even if they just stood there quietly, a palpitating aura still spread from them all the time.
Reiner was wearing a piece of iron armor with a tie armor. Outside the tie armor, there was a thin shield-shaped iron plate with the coat of arms of the Murand family in the north painted on it, which served as a decoration and strengthened protection on the chest.
There is a gold-plated helmet under Reiner's armpit, and there is a roaring lion on the top of the helmet, which looks very gorgeous and mighty.
Looking at these heavily armed soldiers, he couldn't help but smile, and said, "Remove the armor, there is no need to wear armor at this time, put it on the carriage and march lightly!"
After the soldiers in the front row gave orders one after another, they began to remove their armor.
The uniform movements looked quite pleasing to the eye. Five minutes later, all the soldiers' armors were piled up on the ground in front of them, leaving only a layer of armor on everyone's bodies.
He put the armor on the baggage carriage in an orderly manner. After the carriage left the city wall first, Leiner led the army out of the city.
There are more than 4,000 people in Reiner's direct headquarters, which makes his finances a little difficult.
However, successive armor business and sugar, as well as the grain exchange with Earl Jollal, and the commercial tax paid by Mecaron City and the entire northern border during this period, eased his finances again.
A group of more than 6,000 people walked towards the south in a mighty manner. Leiner watched a long dragon form behind him. A hall of fame has come.
When I faced the 6,000-strong army of Earl Zhebo, I was so hesitant in my heart. After two years, I had a stronger force than Earl Zhebo.
A feeling that fate is in the hands of oneself arises spontaneously.
The marching team was walking on the main road, and the residents of the surrounding villages saw the army.
They knew that the Earl was going to lead this invincible army to the south to quell the rebellion.
They already knew that the enemy was superior in number and their own was inferior, but even so, no one was as panicked as they were in the previous battle on the grassland.
"It seems that the Earl is coming back with a huge victory!"
"Yes! But, I really don't know what kind of loss I have to pay..."
"I heard that there are 30,000 rebels in the army! I really hope that the Earl will not have any accidents!"
"What are you talking about! Could it be that the number of enemies was less last time? There were 6,000 knights. The Earl has won, so what are the 30,000 rebels? Not to mention there are other nobles!"
This time, the residents of the northern border were more confident than before. They didn't believe that any accident would happen to the Earl.
Countless victories have already made these residents blindly believe in Reiner.
It has to be said that Rainer, the protector of all northerners, is still very competent.
The city of Mecaron is not very far from Berensburg, the territory of Earl Jollal. The straight-line distance is about 300 kilometers. Reiner arrived there in seven days without traveling lightly.
Berensburg is a majestic castle. This was once the southern border of the Ridka Kingdom when it started in the north. The Moreland family relied on this castle to resist countless attacks from the southern lords.
Later, after the old emperor Caffett swept the world, Earl Joral's father was revoked of the baronial fiefdom in the north, and obtained a huge territory of 70,000 square kilometers with Berensburg as the capital.
There is also a small city to the north of Berensburg. This city has developed thanks to the north-south trade that began in the era of Earl Zhebo, and has become one of the pockets of Earl Jollal.
Immediately after Reiner arrived in Berensburg, he was warmly received by Earl Jollal, and arranged rooms for him and his vassals. The two of them will march to the imperial capital together with the army tomorrow.
At this time, many lords had already begun to rush towards the imperial capital, and the rebel army went all the way north. Although there was no second fortress in the straight-line distance of more than 150 kilometers, their marching speed was not fast.
After they had walked for more than half a month and finally finished the journey, the castle of Castlen Castle stood in their way again.
There are only 3,000 defenders inside the castle, and this is the case when the lords of the occupied area brought their troops here.
The rebels who attacked the city for more than a month suffered heavy losses, but the defenders in the castle were also having a hard time.
After such a delay, the lords of the imperial capital finally relaxed their nerves.
As one by one the lords led the army to the imperial capital, the whole city seemed very crowded. Although the army was stationed outside the city, they still brought some chaos when they came into the city from time to time for fun.
But at this time of war, the empire still counted on them to fight, so the sheriffs didn't care about them.
In addition to these soldiers who were drunk and dreaming of death, so were the lords who led the soldiers.
"Southern rebels? What are they? Aren't they all defeated by our Moreland family back then?"
"Yeah, I don't think there is any difficulty in defeating them!"
