King’s Kingdom - Chapter 267

Queen Lanyin herself is not weak, and you can see the level of these contestants at a glance. I saw that these contestants were carrying swords, shields and cavalry, fighting on foot or riding on horses, and had a tense competition.

Since many people have been screened yesterday, there are only 100 local knights participating in the selection. These people stand out among more than 500 people, which shows that the quality is indeed relatively high.

Therefore, their competition is also worth seeing.

After more than three hours, this form of sparring was very efficient, and another round of selection was over. In the end, only fifty people stood in front of Theodosius.

However, in addition to the fifty winners, the fifty who lost did not leave the field, because no matter what the outcome of the game was, it was Theodosius who made the final decision on who would join the knights.

Therefore, after passing the initial elimination competition, these 100 people are qualified to join the Knights to some extent.

It’s just that the odds of the 50 who were eliminated were a little smaller. Except for some people who were out of bad luck, there must be some people who were actually slightly inferior in strength. This kind of injury can’t be changed.

The victorious fifty and the defeated fifty stood in two phalanxes, and Theodosius himself went off to select from among these men suitable men to join the army.

This kind of behavior has been done several times before, but they were all selected from the members of the Ortban family who came to the Rhine Kingdom from other regions. First, most of the locals did not have the potential to become knights. Second, they were Before ruling the Southern Twelve County, all the people who were basically capable of fighting were in the army, and there was no choice at all.

Now some of the Southern Twelve Counties have no bad deeds, and they have slightly inferior bloodlines or the bloodlines of Saint Kings from poor families, and they all came to participate in this competition.

Of course, this may already be all the people who are eligible to run for election in the twelve southern counties. There are more than 1.5 million people in the twelve southern counties, but only more than 500 people can come to the election. This shows that How thoroughly the previous operation to clean up the squires was carried out, and it could be seen what the gang of squires were, and there were only so many people who could barely be considered innocent.

Of course, Theodosius recruited all the young and powerful, and those older people with knight titles were temporarily out of the range of Theodosius’ signs, so those who came to the election were basically under the age of 30.

If we let go of age, the number may be a little more, but adhering to the attitude of preferring not to waste, Theodosius still limited the age standard to thirty years old.

As for the distant relatives of Orteban who came from afar, they were much younger, roughly twenty-two years old on average. The older ones were usually no more than twenty-three or four years old, and the younger ones were only eighteen or nineteen years old.

These people have no inheritance rights at home, but they are confident in their use of force, and they don’t want to be just an empty pretence with only a title but no livelihood.

When their elder brothers inherited the family business, they either stayed at home and lived in vain, or they left the family to accept employment and be thugs and horses.

Generally speaking, these people still yearn for a fief or a fief, but fiefs and fiefs are not so easy to get.

No matter where you go, cultivated land is a scarce thing, with the exception of the Rhine Kingdom of course.

This kind of thing usually already has an owner, and although the fief is not inherited, most of the sons of the knights are also knights.

Coupled with the inheritance of the fief, the father and son serve the same family, which can bring higher loyalty. Who is more trustworthy between a knight family whose ancestors have been loyal to your family for more than 200 years and a person who has just been promoted. ?

This is obvious, so even if the force is a little weaker, the lords will choose their own veterans to continue to own the fiefs.

Since these people have come out to make a living, they are obviously the ones whose families cannot divide the fiefs. Since they cannot get the land, it is impossible for the noble children to pick up the hoes to farm the fields, and from sword-wielders to plow-holders, then they can only Find places where you can pay for high-powered people to work in paid careers.

Under such circumstances, the Lanyin Kingdom was the best choice.

The first point is that most of the local rulers are of their own race, and the king is his own distant relative, and it is easier to get respect under the same conditions.

Secondly, the salaries of knights in the Lanyin Kingdom are not low, at least higher than the prices offered by most lords or caravans, and the most important point is that there is a lot of vacant land here.

Although it is said that there are no fief knights in the current Lanine Kingdom for the time being, what if such a system is suddenly implemented in the future?

Besides, although there are no fiefs and people in name here, in fact, which knights who have joined the army have less land?

The first few groups of relatives who came from afar and successfully joined the Knights of the Rain Kingdom all replied. Although they did not have fiefs or fiefs, they had already owned hundreds of acres of land after several battles, and this number could continue to increase.

As for those knights with relatively old qualifications, there are many in the family of one or two thousand mu, two or three thousand mu, and there is land in the family.

Six or seven thousand acres!

This is comparable to the amount of land in three or four villages and five or six manors!

If you can have a fief of one or two thousand acres at home, you can live a pretty good life. If you don’t eat or drink for five or six years, you can save a whole set of full-body chain armor, armed clothes, horse armor, helmets and other miscellaneous items. .

Under normal circumstances, such a set of equipment can be saved in less than ten years (the price of steel labor in different regions is different~www.mtlnovel.com~ This kind of life is simply what most of them dream of!

And this kind of life in the Lanyin Kingdom is very likely to be realized as long as there is a chance, how to prevent these knights from flocking to it?

Apart from not having the title of a fief and the absolute right to beat, scold and execute the people under its rule, it is simply a replica of the fief!

As for the people? Are you afraid that no one will come to farm for you when you have land? It’s so funny!

They don’t know yet, it’s them who are naive.

Because the Lanyin Kingdom is really short of manpower…

Walking among these crowds, Theodosius screened one by one. First of all, if his personal combat ability was less than twenty, he would not be able to be recruited into the army. This year, his average combat ability per capita in the Central Military Region reached seventeen. It was eight o’clock (with system building and soldier quota bonuses), if the strength of this group of people was less than 20, Theodosius might as well recruit people from the Central Military Region.

He skipped the two and found that one of them had only a mere 19 points of his actual combat ability, so he jumped decisively and screened him out.
