Well, it is imperative that there must first be a warship that can fight and carry.

It wasn't Martin who deliberately blackened Baccaria. Compared to the bombing army, Bakaria's navy is a scumbag.

What age is it, the dwarves next door have fully popularized artillery, and the Rick Empire also has cannons and musketeers, so Bakaria clings to the tradition. The sharpest ranged weapon now is the trebuchet!

If it weren't for the fact that Bakaria's enemies, the Northland barbarians and orcs, were less civilized, and that the Rick Empire was an ally under the supervision of the human gods, perhaps Bakaria would have been destroyed long ago.

Well, with trebuchets and bows, a destroyer with a displacement of only 300 tons is the capital ship of the dignified Bakaria. Martin specially checked, and there are less than 20 in the whole country, and most of them are in a semi-scrapped state.

These ships were scattered in Kot and several coastal provinces to the west. Regardless of whether the king was willing to throw in warships for the sake of Martin's trade, for a possible conflict.

Just this kind of scum destroyer, Martin felt desperate when he thought about it.

A warship that can't even be well maintained, let alone regular training.

It costs money to go to sea, and soldiers need to be trained. Untrained sailors, run into enemies. If someone stops a boat 300 meters away and beats you, you may not be hit.

Without training, there is no combat effectiveness.

Such a fleet...... It's not necessarily that you can't win. Really fight with the fleet of Rick's rebels, that is, the stupid and the mentally retarded are worse than whoever has a lower IQ, and who is worse than the other.

And then the slightly less rotten side wins.

Martin was really drunk.

Martin wasn't going to give up, though.

It's a big deal to build your own ship without a ship, and you have a knowledge culture that is thousands of years ahead, and if you can't do it, then Martin is a shame for the traverser.

After talking to Karna about the details of the cooperation, there was a knock on the door: "Miss, it's time to meet His Majesty Kurt." ”

"Okay, I'll go right away. After replying, Karna stood up, turned to Martin and said, "I can't stay in Bakaria for long. I'm just going to fight the rebels and I can't deal with it, and if I am given enough time to let the conspiracy ferment, I'll either die here or I won't be able to go back. My people and supporters need me, so I'm leaving tonight. ”

Hearing the news, Martin didn't know why, he had a kind of delusion, pursed his mouth, and didn't say anything to save after all, he just asked: "There are maggots in the bloody arena, I inquired, and there are warrior and champion levels above...... If...... I'm talking about what if...... If there was a day when you had to team up, would you be my teammate?"

Karna was stunned for a moment, and then gently touched her chin, revealing her beautiful face, which was as bright as the rising sun: "Of course I do, my partner!"

With that, a gorgeous turn left the gorgeous blonde whirling on Martin's retina and finally disappeared in the doorway.

A lot happened that night, and a lot of things became the talk of people or the upper class of the nobility after dinner.

For example, Martin's 'Declaration of Solitary Ministers', such as the whirlwind visit of the Duchess of Franks, or the closer cooperation between the Knights' Temple and the Church of Light.

For Martin, the most important thing is that he has the second pot of gold in his life.

If Lorrainburg is his first pot of gold, then the 30,000 gold coins Karna gave him are the biggest boost for him to start snowball mode.

Hearing that the 'Duchess of Franks' was willing to trade grain with Martin, King Keane joked that he almost wanted to eat back yesterday's promise.

Of course, this is just a joke.

As a knightly king, Keane is more committed than anyone else.

He couldn't give Martin a large sum of money as a reward, but in terms of materials, he gave a full one:

The weapons and equipment of the three standard knights are all brand new products that have been put into storage in the past two years.

50,000 steel arrows and 5,000 training arrows. Considering that Martin's entire territory in the future is likely to have just over a thousand archers, this configuration is simply a luxury.

Four hundred fine war horses, six hundred pack horses. There were not only war horses for ordinary knights, but also a hundred tall horses for heavy cavalry.

In terms of grain, King Keane gave a hundred tons of wheat as if he were cutting meat. Not bad rye, but standard wheat. This is definitely a huge amount for a small territory with a population of only 1,000 people, and it is enough for a year to save food.

Apparently, the king wanted Martin to make Lorrainburg a real city, a bridgehead to the entire wasteland. That's why so much is invested.

It's just that no one expected that Martin would make a huge extra amount of money.

After agreeing with James, Martin decided that Lorraine would recruit a standard number of Knights first.

Cumulatively:

There were 60 Kingdom Standard Knights, 60 Ranger Knights, two infantry squadrons and two spearmen squadrons for a total of 480 men, and four archers 360 men.

This is only the official written data of the kingdom. In fact, everyone knows that every knight is a tow, and the average knight is accompanied by at least one apprentice knight, two horsemen, and 1 to 5 knight apprentices.

If you really want to count it, the knight here is not 120 rides, but 480 rides, or even more.

The recruitment is left to Sylvie, and with her, the Knight of the Holy Grail, any bastard who wants to get in will have to weigh himself.

Originally, Martin wanted to boost the confidence of his new followers, and wanted to use Karna's gold coins directly to distribute the recruitment fee. Jaime stops Martin and tells him to tell Karna to transport all the gold to Lorrainburg.

James only said one thing: "Being able to make money is more important than having money." ”

Martin understood in seconds.

Being able to make money represents a sustainable future.

There is money, but there is money at this moment, maybe it will be empty.

Moreover, the need for money is not limited to the use of troops.

"Okay, Jaime, I'll listen to you this time. You go back and bring me a group of shipbuilders to Lorrainburg, not too much, just about 100 craftsmen and apprentices. ”

As a lord, Martin naturally has to face an endless stream of moths.

Based on his reputation as a Blood Champion and an Orc Slayer, the entire province of Kot is boiling. Even in the middle of winter, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of those knights who are idle at home. In the end, the knights who were not famous were embarrassed to come to the recruiting office to enlist.

Those who dare to come are either famous, and they attach equal importance to strength and fame, so they will naturally pass the test easily. Either the reputation is not obvious, but the strength is unexpectedly strong.

However, Martin only had 120 knights, and Sylvie was full of happy troubles.

There is no problem with the infantry, and most of the people who can come to enlist are the servants of the knights. Because of the lack of horses, or because they wanted to stand on their own, they were quite skilled in swordsmanship.

The problem is on the archers' side...... Bakaria's archers are scum!
