My Iron Suit

The area of ​​the baron that Chen Mo took over was less than 10,000 acres. It was only in the range of six or seven kilometers. The number of the people was about three or four thousand. It can only support a few hundred people without affecting the normal operation of the territory. Number of soldiers.

In the Middle Ages, the people of Europe were dying, the material was scarce, and the burden of supporting the army was heavy. The aristocratic lords usually only reserved a small number of standing troops and waited for temporary recruitment from civilians during combat.

The war of this era is dominated by the knight, and the number of knights in the hands of the lord determines his military strength.

Knights equipped with horses, heavy armor and long swords have an overwhelming advantage in the battle against infantry.

But at the same time, well-equipped knights also need to spend a lot of money on the lord to support, although the knight's equipment is all equipped by themselves, but the cost of maintaining a knight's daily expenses is extremely amazing, even if It is a noble lord with a large land and serfs, and can not afford too many knights.

Well-equipped, powerful knights are the most powerful battlefields of the medieval European battlefield, and are also the most valuable wealth of the nobles.

The richer the aristocrats, the more knights they can support and the stronger their strength.

Many small aristocrats have limited financial resources and are unable to afford the huge cost of supporting the knight. They can only rely on infantry. Once they encounter the attack of aristocratic troops with knights, they can only deflate the defense. The pure infantry and the knights fight in front. The final outcome is usually It is a fiasco.

In the baron territory occupied by Chen Mo, there were originally eight knights, which were considered to be strong in the nearby lords, but they all died in the battle with the invading werewolves.

The region's most powerful Earl of Warren, with a fleet of up to 50 knights, plus nearly a hundred knights of knights and thousands of elite infantry, is sufficient to deal with the general-scale werewolf invasion.

The position of the knight is second only to the nobility. To a certain extent, they can be regarded as the lowest level of the aristocratic class. As a full-time soldier, they fight for their loyal lords.

Some meritorious knights will receive the land given by the lord and become a small lord with a seal.

This is also the only way for ordinary civilians to become nobles.

But becoming a knight is not an easy task. All of the Cavaliers' equipment, including horses, armor, swords, shields and spears, need to be equipped by themselves, and in medieval Europe, this era of extremely backward productivity, these The value of the equipment is so expensive that the price of a single horse is as high as twelve gold coins, and its value is equivalent to six strong bulls.

The price of iron is also very high. A long sword is worth seven gold coins, and the full armor including helmet, breastplate and leggings is worth up to twenty-four gold coins, equivalent to two horses.

Coupled with some other equipment, the cost of arming a knight, close to fifty gold coins, can buy more than twenty bulls.

This is an astronomical figure for ordinary European families. Many farmers can't afford a cow, which is equivalent to their income for decades.

Such a huge cost, let alone civilians, even a lot of small aristocrats can not afford.

Therefore, the number of knights is actually not many. It is difficult for ordinary civilians to have the opportunity to become knights. Most of the knights are born in the knight family or have no inheritance rights. They receive knight training from a young age and are matched by the family in adulthood. Complete equipment.

The wealthy aristocratic family said that the average knight family usually only has a set of ancestral equipment, and the father passed it on to the child. If the two sons were born and the family did not have enough financial resources to purchase a set of equipment, then the younger son could not find a way. Become a knight.

Andrew, who was rescued by Chen Mo, was born into such an ordinary family of knights.

As a younger son, although he received his father's knight training from a young age, but because the family was unable to buy a set of expensive Knight equipment for him, Andrew had a strong and powerful force, but he could only be an ordinary soldier and joined the lord. The army, expecting to be able to stand up for military service through battle, will be rewarded by the Baron adults and will one day become a true knight.

Unfortunately, more than ten years have passed. Although there are countless killings on the battlefield and even killing more than one werewolf, he is still an ordinary soldier. There is no change except for countless scars and his face. The vicissitudes of wrinkles.

What a powerful knight, a magnificent life, a beautiful aristocratic lady, are so far away from him.

Under the disappointment, Andrew left the hometown and army that fought for many years and came to the village.

He intends to succumb to his fate and give up his long-standing ideals, so he can be a civilian in a down-to-earth manner and spend his life in peace.

Now, he has already given up, and he seems to have seen the hope of realizing his own ideals from Chen Mo.

The power of Chen Mo, he saw with his own eyes, Chen Mo has become their new lord, and he is entrusted with heavy responsibility. He is extremely excited at the same time, and secretly vowed to swear allegiance to Chen Mo, not only to repay Chen Mo’s life-saving and enlightenment. The grace of ~www.NovelMTL.com~ is also to realize his dream of becoming a powerful knight.

And his ideals soon reached half.

The original eight knights in the territory, all died in the previous werewolf invasion, plus the same dead baron, leaving a total of nine sets of some broken knight armor and weapons.

Chen Mo did not look at these high-value knights' equipment at all, and directly gave him nine people, including Andrew, who was rescued by him.

They were rescued from the wolf by Chen Mo in the desperate situation. As their savior and new lord, they had no problem with Chen Mo’s loyalty.

Of course, now they are not a knight, except that Andre has the powerful force that the Cavaliers must have. Others, although not lacking the courage to fight the werewolves, are still a lot worse in strength.

You must know that the real knights are trained by the knights who have received the system from a young age, physical fitness, riding, swordsmanship, fighting, a qualified knight, able to wear any armor without any armor, empty-handed to kill a wild boar, not just anyone, put on The knight's equipment can be called the knight's.

Of course, the other eight people besides Andrew are not useless. When the werewolves invaded the village, most of them were panicked and even crying desperately, without the slightest rebellion.

However, they dared to face the werewolf and bravely counterattack. Under the command of Andrew, with the help of simple weapons and geographical advantages, they blocked the attack of the werewolves. From this point of view, they still have the potential to become knights, and this is Chen Mo. I value it.

According to Chen Mo's observation, these people are very loyal to him and have certain fighting talents. For Chen Mo, this is enough. As for strength, it can be cultivated slowly.

Moreover, there are still many good things in Chen Mo's space that have not been taken out.
