King’s Kingdom

After training with the Iron Paladins for more than an hour, Theodosius took a bath alone, and then walked out of the indoor training ground.

Outside, the groom and the squires of the knights are already bridging and saddling the horses, and they will be training on horseback next.

The knights put on their clothes and armor and walked out of the room.

They were fully armed and still wore three layers of iron armor. Since the capture of Bo City, Theodosius had them maintain such equipment. Since such a weight would not bring too much burden on them, it would guarantee their lives. Safety is the most important thing.

This was indeed the case. The knights in the three-layer iron armor were not restricted in their movements because of this. They mounted their horses neatly and did not need the help of their squires at all.

The knights first trotted on their war horses and ran around the training ground with a circumference of 4,000 meters to warm up the iron-boned horses under their crotch.

Although this powerful warhorse is hard to be injured, if you take care of them, you can serve longer.

It is worth mentioning that after Theodosius won the war with the Northern Empire, he asked the trainer to restart the breeding plan of iron-boned horses.

In the past, the Lanin Kingdom would only add five or six new iron-boned horses every year, and it was under birth control, and the number of iron-boned horses was not allowed to increase.

And winning the war with the Northern Empire made the Rhine Kingdom richer, so Theodosius stopped the family planning of iron-boned horses, and let them give birth to as many offspring as possible.

Now, seventeen mares are pregnant and will give birth to their first foals in June, two months later.

And Theodosius, who got the twelve counties and 1.5 million people, became more confident at this time, and he no longer worried about the food needed to raise the iron-boned horses.

Even in the homeland of the Rhine Kingdom, the cold environment in the north allows the commoners to harvest five or six thousand kilograms of grain every year, not to mention the twelve counties where the land was allocated.

The grain output here is bound to be higher than that in the original land of Lanyin, and there are still so many people. The tax paid by 1.5 million people is not comparable to 200,000 people. As long as these people and land can be firmly controlled, The income of the Rhine Kingdom has more than doubled.

The iron-clad paladins ride on iron-boned horses. Not only are they knights, but the warhorses under their crotch are also covered with a thick layer of iron armor. The weight of more than 200 kilograms is just a breeze for this beast of war with a load-bearing capacity of thousands of kilograms. , trot for four kilometers and they didn't even notice breathing.

Then, the second lap of training began. The iron-boned horses ran wild under the urging of the knights, and the iron-clad paladins also held lances in both hands and stabbed at the erected targets.

The size of this target was very outrageous. It was strung on a thin wooden pole, and it was only the size of an apple. However, the attacks of the iron-clad paladins were almost never in vain, and every target was successfully hit.

Theodosius nodded with satisfaction. Although their personal combat ability has a great physical factor, the results of their training cannot be ignored. If not, they would not be able to shine brightly on the battlefield.

After hitting the target, they did not stop, but dropped their lances and started the third lap of training. This time, it was not aggressive training, but kept making various exaggerated movements on horseback. Come to train the tacit understanding of riding and war horses.

As for the fourth lap, their training made Theodosius feel stunned. In the high-speed charge, these knights actually let people stand on the field with crisp wood aimed at them, and then slammed into the wood.

All I could hear was the crackling sound of crackling, the crackling wood was broken one by one, and was smashed by the knights with their bodies.

On the other hand, although the people on horseback were also affected a lot, they did not lose their balance, let alone fall off the horse!

Seeing the knights recovering quickly and rushing towards the next brittle wood at a very fast speed, Theodosius sighed and looked at Sir Ledwin beside him.

"What's going on? I remember that this item doesn't seem to be in the training plan I specified?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, but the knights believe that this is conducive to fighting on the battlefield. As the most elite and loyal troops under your command, we will inevitably fight against powerful cavalry in the future!"

"Thank you for your sympathy, let us put on fine armor that is almost impossible to penetrate. However, once such protective measures are dropped, they will hardly play any role, so we must avoid the dilemma of being dropped."

"Therefore, adapting to being hit by an enemy's lance is one of our most important training subjects!"

"But it's easy to get hurt like this!" Theodosius frowned. He didn't want any non-combat losses. These people are precious elites, either from aristocratic families who can be trusted and have great military achievements, or Ortban. The loss of a relative or branch of the family will make him very sad.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, in addition to the three layers of iron armor, we also have leather armor and a layer of thick armor, which has enough buffer space and will not be injured. We will also cherish our own lives and come to serve you. Contributions are added to the building!" Sir Ledwin bowed and said sincerely.

"..."

"Well, your determination shocked me! I don't intend to disappoint my loyal ministers. Starting today, your salary will be tripled!"

Theodosius sighed very much that the strength of these knights was no accident or luck, they were all outstanding soldiers.

"Thank you for your generosity! Your Majesty!" Sir Ledwin was also very happy. Although they pursued more glory, they could make themselves and their families a better life. Who would refuse?

Walking out of the training ground~www.readwn.com~Theodosius went to the camp of the Knights of the Rhine.

Although the training here is equally diligent, but limited by their abilities and protective measures, their training is not as rough as the iron-clad paladins, but a reduced version of horseback techniques, strength training, and fighting exercises.

Theodosius searched for ten knights with the highest personal combat ability, applied the "gift" to them, and in their ecstatic expressions, included them in the sequence of the Iron Armored Paladins.

While Theodosius was thinking about how to make his army stronger, in the middle of the twelve counties of the Rhine Kingdom, a man named Balin looked at the person in front of him with a solemn expression.

"Oh, this **** fishy smell, you know, you have a disgusting smell, far less attractive than the children behind you!" A tall, pale-faced man glanced back and forth at Bahrain. three children behind.

"Dirty and stinky things, what makes you dare to run wild here? Have you forgotten the iron hoofs of the human army?" Balin held a long sword vigilantly in a swordsmanship starting gesture.

"Iron hoof? Human iron hoof?" The pale man laughed, and then said sullenly, "How could I forget! That hit me hard!"

"But... there is no cavalry here! You can only be reduced to a corpse killed by me, and your children will be my delicious lunch!"

"Yes, you are right, there is no iron cavalry here, but..." Balin quickly pulled out another long sword behind him.

"Steel sword eliminates evil, silver sword slays demons!" He roared, his pale red pupils shrank suddenly, the size of a needle tip, and he moved very quickly towards the demon in front of him.
