King’s Kingdom - Chapter 291

The war in the Northern Empire has not officially started yet, and the Orteban people all over the country have received letters from far away.

In a small castle on the northern border of the central empire, the dim yellow oil lamp was swayed by the breeze that came in through the small window. The man sat at the table in pajamas and opened the flame paint on the envelope.

“Respectful father.”

“It’s been half a year since I left home in response to the call of the King of Lanyin from my family. I hope that father and mother are as healthy as ever. Antai, your youngest son is doing well in the Kingdom of Lanyin. My strength, now I am a knight of the Rine Kingdom.”

“The people here are very good, but the weather is a little cold, but fortunately we live well, King Lanyin gave me two sets of full-body heavy armor, as well as an excellent war horse and two pack horses, and they are well equipped. Now that I have the horse armor, I am also an excellent knight.”

“In addition to this, I have also been favored by the God of War. Now I am at least twice as strong as I was before. Your Majesty also let us drink the mysterious potion from the elves, which further strengthened my body. I feel like I’ve reached the level of a champion knight now.”

“The only pity is that the nobles in the Lanyin Kingdom can’t own the back cover, and the knights can’t own the fief, but the Lanyin King still gave me 500 acres of land, and the amount of this land will follow me on the battlefield. Build merit and increase.”

Seeing this, a smile appeared on the face of the middle-aged man, and he finally let go of his dangling heart. His territory was already overcrowded, and there was no fief that could be divided. The eldest son wanted to inherit the family business, so To stay and teach, the youngest son is only fifteen years old now, is studying in a monastery, and will live as a monk in the future.

But my second son, because he wanted to avoid risks, and in order to prevent the eldest son from having any accident, he was uninherited, which led to the decline of the family business. Therefore, the education he received since childhood was almost the same as that of the eldest son. The eldest son is still in good health, and last year. He also gave birth to a strong son, and the right of inheritance has nothing to do with the second son.

However, the second son, who has received a real noble education since childhood and has a good knowledge of martial arts, has long been determined to gain fame and fame immediately, and is unwilling to enter the monastery to live in peace, so all he can do is provide some help within his ability, such as Armored warhorse.

However, his own territory is not rich. More than half of the villages have been enfeoffed as fiefs of the knights. The remaining dozen or so villages have to support enough troops to protect the territory and fulfill the feudal contract with the monarch. In addition to maintaining the castle, often holding banquets, paying salaries and other expenses, the support for the second son is really limited.

And if there is no sophisticated weapons and armor, even if he is skilled in martial arts, it is not easy for him to make a living with his sword.

Because no matter how superb the swordsmanship is, there will always be times when one misses, and a good set of weapons and equipment can give a warrior a considerable bonus to the force.

To think of making a living with swords outside, that is, to be the guards of some caravans, to be thugs to nobles, and to join the mercenary team to get commissions and spoils.

However, there are also thresholds for this profession. In addition to martial arts, you also need to bring your own equipment, and according to whether the equipment is well-equipped and the level of martial arts, the salary and loot are also different.

For example, a soldier with a full set of chain armor can usually get three to four times the salary of a soldier with no armor or only one set of armor. If he has a good warhorse, he can get nearly ten times as much. salary.

If you were a man in full armor, had a real warhorse, and had a horse-armored lance, you could earn fifty times the salary of an unarmored warrior.

But even with such a big gap, this middle-aged man was still unable to equip his son with really sophisticated equipment, armed with half-length chain armor, an old warhorse, a sword from the past, two cavalry The head of the gun and the five barrels of the lance, that’s all he can prepare.

After all, the value of a set of full-body chain armor equipped with helmets, gauntlets and other parts can be compared to the net income of his entire territory for more than half a year. If you include real war horses, horse armor and other equipment, it will cost nearly two Annual income, he really can’t come up with such a large sum of money.

Just when the second son’s future was bleak, a call from the northern Lanine Kingdom came. It was written that as long as the military passed the border, as a native of Ortban, he could serve as a knight in the Lanine Kingdom. Salary is paid and land is allocated on time every month.

Such good treatment naturally attracted him, so with the mentality of a dead horse being a living horse doctor, he told his second son about it. After hearing about it, the young man naturally did not hesitate at all. , If you have no use in your hometown, then go to a distant place to fight.

He’d been worried about his son for months, worried that he might encounter danger or setbacks, or fail the test.

Now the arrival of this letter can be regarded as a solution to his worries.

He looked down with a smile on his face.

“But father, you also know that the Lanyin Kingdom implements the same system as the past empires. Nobles can’t have slaves, so my land is uncultivated and can only be abandoned among the fields, but a few days ago, the king Your Majesty has appointed a law specifically for this issue~www.mtlnovel.com~ Now, as a knight, I can own five families.”

“However, because the Lanyin Kingdom has a small population and most of them are wealthy, it is a pity that I have not found anyone who is willing to depend on me. I can only ask you, my dear father, for help from thousands of miles away. I sincerely I hope to get your help, I need five families to come to the Lanyin Kingdom, where they will have a better life than their hometown.”

“Also please take me to say hello to my eldest brother and brother, and my mother, I miss the time with my eldest brother, he is really a good brother, and I will not be discouraged because I can’t get more help. I feel dissatisfied, and I also hope that my mother can take care of her body, and don’t be overwhelmed by my departure, if possible, I hope that a robe can be sent along with the reply.”

“I really hope to see you from time to time, but I know that if I continue to stay at home, I will not have a bright future, so please forgive me for not being able to accompany you by your side. In about two or three months, we will be in the Kingdom of Lanyin. Launching the war against the Northern Empire, I will definitely make a contribution in this war and lay down a huge land. I hope to get help from my family at that time. I will go to receive training in coordinated combat with other knights, so This letter is here, I wish my parents and brothers good health!”

“—Love you, Rachel.”
