"Lord Earl, is the military code you compiled too large, where can our territory support tens of thousands of legions." When Julian flipped through the military drill code in his hand, he couldn't help but raise his doubts, the military strength that Arrod's territory can afford is only about 3,000 people at most, that is, according to this kind of military drill code, only three companies can be formed.

"It's just a structure, at the moment we only need to maintain one company, remember that the soldiers are more important than the strong." Arold waved his hand disapprerovingly, although he hoped that he could protect Mecklenburg County with a thousand elite soldiers, but Arold also knew that the maintenance cost of this company was also a great burden for an earl.

"Lord Earl, why don't you have heavy cavalry in your legion? Although I am unheard, there is a military theory of the victory of the heavy cavalry in the vassal states, and you have shown me the great power of the heavy cavalry when dealing with the rebels, but there is no place for the heavy cavalry in your military code. Julian was a man who had received an orthodox knightly education since childhood, and he soon discovered the strangeness of the codex.

"That's because it's an infantry drill code, and I'm compiling a cavalry drill code." Arold tapped the wooden table in front of him with the knuckles of his fingers, pleased with Julian's keen observation.

"You mean to raise your own cavalry, my dear earl, if you don't divide the knights, I'm afraid you can't afford a heavy cavalry at all, unless it's borne by the church like the church knights." Julian shook his head, disapproving of Arrod's whimsy. A heavy cavalry must have two high-quality horses, the cavalry must be equipped with iron helmets, shields, chain mail, a sharp sword, and a number of spears, this complete set of equipment costs enough for a peasant family to earn for several years, in order to assist the knights and heavy cavalry they also have to train several squire infantry, so only by dividing the knights and mining can this kind of property and personnel burden be dispersed, and by the knights to burden and cultivate the heavy cavalry can make the heavy cavalry's war skills be guaranteed, the more knights are divided, the stronger the strength of the nobles.

"I don't mean to object to feudal law, I just find that the knights' fiefs often have to bear the burden of infantry sergeants and management, which limits the number of heavy cavalry they produce and distracts them. I want them to be able to live and train in a special knight's guild in my castle like the Church Knights. As for the fiefs, they can own them in order to house their families and a stable economic income. ”

"Well, my Count, your idea is good, but I suggest you have a good reason to gather the knights. Otherwise, the unruly knights won't eat you. ”

"Yes. The church is spiritually centered in the name of God. Then we will gather those knights with the spirit of the Teutonic people at the core. Arrod clenched his fists, his eyes revealing the brilliance of folds, this moment had been circling in his mind for a long time.

"Teutons? Not. This is an ancient tradition and spiritual connotation, but it is quite attractive, after all, the Teutonian tradition, which is a branch of the Germanic peoples, is still celebrated by the people. Julian was taken aback by Arrod's words, he did not expect Arold to suddenly make such an announcement, but when he thought about it, the Teutons had lived on the Baltic coast on the north bank of the Elbe River since ancient times, and this was not where Mecklenburg was located.

"That's right, I'm going to build a guild of the Teutonic Knights in the castle, so that the Teutonic knights can live and train in the building, and swear allegiance to me." Arold was in a surging mood, and he had finally brought out the Teutonian Knights who had been haunted by the fierce Teutonian knights, who were in strong armor, with horned helmets on their heads, and white cross-shirts, and with carbines and maces in their hands, shouting and fighting in the charge.

"My Earl, although your idea is very shocking to me, let's go step by step, first we need to attract knights to our county, otherwise without these elites, your Teutonic Order can only be a dream." Julian looked at Arrod, who was in a frenzy, and couldn't help but pour some cold water on him, this count has been spending money like a lot lately, and Brother Elvet, who is in charge of finance, has hinted in front of him many times, hoping that he can persuade Arold to spend money to save a little, and Arold's earldom ceremony has not yet been arranged, and this count has a whimsical hope to form the Teutonic Knights.

"Well, I know that this is not something that can be done overnight, but when it comes to attracting knights, I have an idea, and it can bring prosperity to our county." Arrud wiped the corners of his mouth, and talked endlessly for a long time, it was really foaming at the corners of his mouth.

"Dear Earl, what do you have in mind?" When Julian heard Arrod's words, he was intrigued, after all, the young Earl had the title of Zhiduoxing.

"Aren't I about to have a Count's Ceremony, so I'm going to celebrate it in my realm, and I'm going to find entertainers and bards who travel between countries, and I'm going to hold a jousting tournament in our newly built arena, where knights from all nations are invited." Arold said to Julian.

"Oh, that's a good idea, not all the knights own the estates, and there are some who are poor, and if they can participate in a jousting tournament, if they win, they will be both famous and rich, and we can choose good knights to persuade them."

"So, Julian, you can rest assured that you will train our soldiers carefully according to the military discipline, my ambition is not only Mecklenburg County, this Baltic territory will be included in our pocket sooner or later." Arold patted Julian on the shoulder and said to Julian with a grin.

"Oh, Lord Count, you have such great ambitions?" Julian was shocked by Arrod's words again, this young earl is really ambitious, some nobles may only stick to a little bit of land left by their ancestors for the rest of their lives, and he is not satisfied after obtaining a county, he actually wants to encompass all the territory of the Slavs, this is the royal family, oh no, those powerful tribal dukes almost dare not think of things, Julian involuntarily thought about it, no wonder Arold has always refused to divide the vassals, Perhaps he was planning to conquer the entire Baltic coast before sealing it, Julian couldn't help but tremble with excitement when he thought of this.

"Julian, what's wrong with you? Sick. Seeing the trembling Julian, Arold thought that he was unwell and sick, and hurriedly asked with concern, Julian is extremely competent as Arold's friend and personal attendant, and can be said to be Arold's right-hand man, if he falls ill, Arold will really make Arold unable to find someone to replace him.

"No, I'm fine, I've never had such a good time, please rest assured, Lord Earl, I will definitely complete your military drill seriously." Julian reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then straightened up and slammed his right hand into his heart in a Roman military salute advocated by Arold.

"Very well, my friend, I know that you can be trusted." Arold was equally happy to see Julian's energetic look, an ambitious nobleman could inspire his men to move forward, after all, when Arold rose to the heights of power, his courtiers would rise as well.

"I seem to have been bewitched by the Earl." Julian stood in the open space of the Angry Lion Castle, desperately pulling his thoughts back from his vision of the future with Arrod, looking at the slaves in front of him who had lost their luster and were full of numbness, and his ragged clothes shook his head, but he knew his duty, so he took a deep breath, "Alright, you damn bugs and rookies, immediately line up and put the children and women on the other side, and the men will stand with my chests up." ”

With Julian's loud shout, the slaves panicked, although most of them were not Germanic, but in the demonstration of the Germans, the slaves stood loosely in four rows, but there was a little accident when separating the women and children, when the soldiers pulled the women and children apart, some of the slaves tried to protect their families, and there was friction with the soldiers, but soon they were beaten to the ground by the soldiers with an old fist, and the cries of women and children rang out, They seem to have thought that these new masters were going to forcibly break them up.

"Don't worry, you'll be well taken care of." Just when this chaotic scene was a little out of control, Leila appeared in the midst of these crying women and children, her sweet voice soothed the ears of these women and children who had been tortured in various ways, and even made these people gradually quiet down, looking curiously at the innocent girl in front of them.

"My father, my father." A little boy with a coarse linen bag and rubbing his eyes with his dirty hands cried and tried to rush to the downed slave in the field, but there were so many strong soldiers between them that it was impossible for the little boy to break through the blockade alone.

"Don't cry, don't worry, Lord Julian is not a bad person." Rai stretched his hand and gently wiped the little boy's tears with his handkerchief, and gently stroked his back with his own hand, gradually calming the little boy's emotions.

"Well, you now belong to the ruler of Mecklenburgshire, the Venerable Count Arrod, and if you want to live a free and happy life, you must listen carefully to what I am saying, and if there is anyone who does not understand, someone will translate it to you later." Julian stared at the slaves in front of him without squinting, and announced the discipline of the army to these ignorant slaves according to the military discipline compiled by Arrod, and it didn't matter how much Julian could understand, the whip would later make them understand what discipline and obedience were.
