"Lancelot, we're going to speed up the recruitment. Jason touched his chin, with the current military strength of the Iron Fang Leader, he had more than enough self-preservation, but the expansion was insufficient, and it was necessary to make a big profit in this turbulent situation.

"With the population of the Iron Tooth Leader, how many soldiers can we show at most?" Although the more soldiers, the better, but if it affects normal production, it will be digging its own grave.

"My lord, the total number of people in the Iron Tooth Collar is about sixteen thousand, including the population of the villages and the Erbia. Lancelot thought for a moment.

"If it's a normal conscription, we'll be able to expand to 1,600 soldiers, and if we're conscripted to saturation, we'll have about 2,000 soldiers. ”

Two thousand soldiers can already run amok in these ordinary towns, unless they can't think of leading troops to attack those large cities.

These large cities were directly subordinate to the kingdom, and the lords of the cities were appointed directly by the king, such as the city of Lucca, which also had an army of 5,000 people sent by the kingdom.

The purpose is to deter the major lords and nobles in the north, and once there are signs of rebellion, the garrisons of the four major cities in the north will swarm out to quell the rebellion.

This is one of the reasons why the old aristocracy, who had been excluded from the center of power, did not dare to make any big moves, although they were ready to move.

"But, sir. Lancelot grimaced.

"This will increase the economic burden of the territory, and in severe cases, it will even cause economic collapse. ”

He was very worried in his heart, this would not do the Iron Tooth Collar any good, and when the time came, he would not get anything but put himself in it.

Jason was also a little worried when he heard this, and the dynasties that had become strong because of the wanton expansion of troops and reckless military force did not end up very well.

"Feed the war with war. Finally, he said four words in a deep voice, and his words would also determine the future of the Iron Fang Army, that is, to keep fighting, and then use the loot obtained to start the next battle.

"We can plunder the population, the resources, and in this way, feed the Iron Fang. ”

"However, won't the northern garrison of the kingdom encircle and suppress us because of this?" This is the biggest concern in Lancelot's heart, those small lords have a maximum of a few hundred soldiers under their hands, and most of them are motley troops who are usually farmers and wear leather armor to take up arms in wartime.

Unlike the well-equipped army of the Iron Fangs, who are soldiers as their profession, Jason has invested nearly 10,000 gold coins in them, and those small lords are willing to spend a lot of money on the army, they are only enough to suppress the bandits themselves.

It's not for nothing that aristocrats like Jason are crazy about training, but there are really too few.

Most of their money is spent on their own guards, and these guards who are usually responsible for their security are the ones they invest money in.

In front of the Iron Tooth Army, this kind of soldier is here to send people's heads, and the only thing to worry about is the northern garrison, which is also a professional soldier.

"Hmph, Phil Lopez isn't the king of this country yet. Jason sneered, and in the moment he was determined to exclude dissidents and purge courtiers, who was as short-sighted as his uncle.

If he could command the armies of the kings, would the old nobles dare to be the best with them?

It's a pity that he doesn't have this right, otherwise the First Heavy Armor Legion will be dispatched, and it is difficult to say that it can defeat the Lion Principality, at least there is no problem in blocking them.

"And what if they settle accounts after the fall?"

"If this war is lost, resulting in the loss of the country, and they are still fighting for power in the royal city, then do you think those old nobles will take advantage of this to fight back?"

"In other words, my lord, there is still a possibility for you to return to the royal city and take over as king?"

"No, no, no, it's more likely to be a puppet from the royal family. "Jason is guilty, let alone going back to take over the throne, it is not impossible for them to ruthlessly push this invasion on themselves!

"But these commanders of the direct legions are a bit of a dead brain. Jason said helplessly, it seems that if you want to borrow the garrison, it seems that it is impossible.

"It's also to avoid causing unrest. Lancelot calmly analyzed.

"At present, the king does not know whether he is alive or dead, if his relatives are in power, if there is no such garrison to deter the kingdom, it is easy to make a big mess. ”

"Then they just watched the civilians in the east suffer misery?" Jason still didn't understand their thoughts, the garrisons in other places didn't move, and the most incomprehensible thing was that the eastern garrison actually huddled in the city, turning a blind eye to the actions of the Duchy of Lion.

"As a person in a higher position, you have to think about the big picture. Lancelot said again.

"Imagine that if the eastern army is dispatched, even if they can force back the Lion Principality, it will definitely cause great damage, so that the kingdom's control over the east will be further weakened, which may also cause great turmoil, on the contrary, if they hold the city, the Lion Principality will not be able to break through the city walls in a short time. ”

"Hmph, but that's fine. Jason grinned, his eyes cold.

"If they don't make a big move, how can I stand out?"

Which dynasty in history did not rise because of the turmoil in the world?

"My lord, there's another problem, if we speed up the recruitment process, our equipment may not be able to keep up. ”

There are so many craftsmen in the military factory in Iron Tooth Town, and the amount of equipment that can be built in a week is limited, and the equipment of the regular army in Iron Tooth Town before is not fully equipped, this time Gareth took away another hundred pieces, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to create thousands of sets of equipment this winter.

"Try your best, as much as you can build, so that the soldiers who later join the army can wear the previous iron-inlaid armor first. Jason was also a little helpless, there really was no better way to solve this kind of thing.

The efficiency of manpower forging is indeed too low, and if there is a modern workshop, Jason does not have to worry about the fact that the number of ordinary equipment will not be enough to equip soldiers.

Although the Kyle family's chamber of commerce is powerful, they are not good at selling military equipment in large quantities in an open manner, and they still export it to countries outside the Papal States.

The Holy See would never allow such a thing to happen, and businessmen were not allowed to meddle in the matter of military equipment.

So this kind of thing can only be solved by Jason himself.

"Then keep an eye on the war in the east, and send spies, focusing on the Viscount of Tours, if you can find out who his backer is. ”

"My lord, we also need to pay attention to the hand-holding meeting. Lancelot added that this underground force is like a disease of scabies, and it suffers from it.

"Hands will be ......" Jason squinted, he has been dealing with this force since he came to the north, from the beginning of the Hodge Knight ambush failure, and the subsequent assassination incident, all of which made Jason hate him to the core, if there is a chance to uproot it, Jason will definitely not be merciful.

"It's hateful that these guys have been huddled in Lucca, we can't go in and annihilate them. Lancelot also said hatefully.

Although he can enter and have the strength to destroy this organization, but in this way, he will completely offend all the forces in Lucca City, and this kind of thing can only be done slowly, and he can't rush it.
