After all, the UFO hat was only for knights and officers, but England was an island country, and there were relatively few knights. This time, Edward only brought two thousand knights, and with those officers, there was not much demand for flying saucer hats.

As for the ordinary soldiers, including the three thousand English longbowmen brought by Edward, none of them were equipped with saucer caps and helmets. Mainly, it was too late to make so much.

Therefore, except for the knights and officers, the rest of the soldiers were all equipped with straw hats in the East Frisian style to prevent their vision from being obscured by the rain.

This kind of straw hat is the straw hat originally worn by the East Frisian straw hat swordsmen. This straw hat has a large brim, which is equivalent to a small umbrella on the head. Before, the straw hat swordsmen of East Friesland relied on this big hat to protect themselves from the rain, and they didn't need umbrellas. Of course, it's also because there are no umbrellas in Europe at all.

But after putting it into use, Marin also found a problem - the straw hat of the original East Friesian Straw Hat Swordsman was too big, and when the soldiers lined up in a phalanx, the hat would affect the comrades next to him. Therefore, Marlin made a change to shorten the brim of this straw hat to make the hat more similar to the straw hat of later generations. However, in order to prevent the rain from obscuring the view, the brim at the front end of the hat is still much longer than that of the straw hat of later generations.

Subsequently, the officers of the Marlin Army in the Middle East and Frisian began to teach the soldiers to weave their own straw hats. There are a lot of grass in the area, and in addition to straw hats, everyone also wears a straw coat. With the cloak and straw hat, the army was no longer afraid of the rainy weather in Ireland.

As for the officers and knights, they wore plate armor including saucer caps and helmets when fighting. Usually, they wear raincoats in the windbreaker type provided by Marin, which is very convenient. At least, it's much lighter than a coat.

At this time, the Dublin City army gathered. Even Adler, the Count of Wicklow, arrived with 40 knights and 1,500 warriors from Wicklow County. Of these, 500 were the unruly Cossack cavalry that Marin gave him at the beginning......

Adler is now the Earl of Wicklow, and although he belongs to the Beihai line, the nominal monarch is always Edward. Therefore, Edward's conquest of Ireland this time, he also wanted to go to war. Moreover, Adler had long been eager to go to war. This war is definitely a great opportunity for him.

Having a brother who is too strong is also a lot of pressure for Adler. Because, people will always compare him to Marin.

But Adler also knows very well that in terms of martial arts, he can beat Marin a few. But when it comes to military command ability, 100 of him is not worth half of Marin. Therefore, being an honest and fierce general is his only way out. Moreover, he also likes to charge into battle.

However, Marin had previously grown up in the army because he was afraid of Adler. In addition, there is also a meaning that I don't want him to get hurt. Therefore, Adler has never had the opportunity to lead his troops into battle. In Marin's several wars, he could only lead the militia to guard the city in the rear, just like old Hoffman, but he was suffocated.

So, this time there was an opportunity to charge, and Adler was overjoyed. Immediately after arriving in Dublin, Adler met with Edward, the monarch. Then, the request becomes a pioneer.

But Edward didn't agree, after all, Adler was the brother of his strongest ally, Marin. If the vanguard is killed in an ambush by the enemy, it will be difficult for him to explain. So, in the end, Edward gave Adler the honorary title of knight lieutenant commander, and let Adler charge with two thousand English knights. In this way, it can be fully guaranteed. After all, if the two thousand knights who were the main force were defeated, and the entire army would not be safe, it would not matter if someone was safe or not.

As for Adler's 1,500 men, because of the presence of 500 Cossack hussars, Edward was used as a scout cavalry and scattered first. After all, these Cossacks were hussars and were best suited for such a job.

Marin was about to leave after handing over his job and recounting his brotherhood with Adler. Before leaving, Marin repeatedly told the knights who accompanied Adler in the charge to protect Adler's safety if they were in danger. In the event of an accident, the Beihai Congress would give them handsome rewards, even titles and fiefs......

Marin did this without a basis. Adler was too belligerent and always liked to rush to the front. That is, in Europe, if it was in ancient China, he liked to rush to the front, and he would definitely be the first to stumble, just like Guan Erye who walked in Maicheng...... Therefore, he can only tell the knights who are guarding his safety......

After explaining everything, Marin left Dublin on a battleship. After all, in this war, the protagonist is Edward, not him. He's here, easy to steal the show......

……

Marin had just returned to Aurich, and had not yet rested, when suddenly his men reported that the only son of Emperor Maximilian I, the ruler of Burgundy and the Netherlands, and the handsome prince Philip, had arrived......

Hearing that it was the eldest son's arrival, Marin hurriedly dressed up and went to greet the young master of the Holy Roman Empire with a smile on his face.

However, when he arrived at the gate of the palace, Marin found that the young lord Prince Philip seemed to be full of displeasure, and almost wrote "I am angry" on his face......

"What's going on? I didn't offend this young master......" Marin was a little confused.

In the living room, after Philip spoke, Marin learned the reason:

"Marlin-sama, you're not so interesting, are you? Send a large army to support Edward's conquest of Ireland, why don't you send troops to help us Habsburgs? ”

Prince Philip looked dissatisfied, and his tone was full of questioning.

Marin also didn't know what to say for a while......

Prince Philip continued:

"Lord Marin, although Edward is your monarch, my father is also your monarch! In the first place, it was my father who promoted you to knight and baron of the Empire. Your recapture of the East Friesian Lamberan was the first acknowledgement of my father and our Habsburgs. Why is it that we, the Habsburgs, are not willing to send troops to our aid at the moment when the war situation in Switzerland is not good? That King Edward went to attack Ireland, and you immediately sent a legion over, isn't the difference too obvious? ”

Feelings, this young master is dissatisfied with his exclusion of the Sixth Army to support Edward, but he did not send troops to support the emperor......

Marin breathed a sigh of relief, this is a good answer......

"Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to support His Majesty the Emperor. Rather, I don't dare......"

"Don't dare? What do you mean? Philip was a little confused.

"Your Highness, didn't Your Majesty tell you? I, the Grand Duke of the North Sea Kingdom, am very ostracized and hostile by the German princes! If it weren't for the strength of my army, I would have been wiped out several times. And, Your Highness, do you know why I was ostracized by the German princes? Marin asked rhetorically.

Prince Philip was stunned and replied uncertainly:

"Is it because you come from a low background?"

Marin sighed and said:

"This is only a small part of the reason, the biggest reason is - I am the person promoted by His Majesty the Emperor......"
