In the middle of winter, even the Slavs had to stop attacking the Wilhel border. Arod also took this opportunity to reform the military system and refined the initial establishment of the German mercenary group and generally adopted it into the Mecklenburg army. Because the German mercenary group split while serving the King of Denmark, there were only more than 200 people left when they returned to China, Arod simply incorporated the German mercenary group into the new Mecklenburg army.

The original Baojia soldiers were selected and capable, and combined with the second sons of Mecklenburg's nobles, and trained into a new army of 400 people. Ten people were squad leaders, five teams were one squadrons, and two squadrons were a company. Two-thirds of the new army were hand-to-hand combat soldiers, holding spears and swords, and one-third were crossbow soldiers. It was a company that combined hand-to-hand combat and long-range.

The new Mecklenburg army was the backbone of infantry operations in the group, but Aruod knew that the backbone of infantry was the main force in the strange and righteousness. If you want to fight against a powerful enemy, you must have a surprise soldier, a sharp and fast dagger that can be inserted into the vital points of the enemy at a sudden moment. So he organized heavy cavalry, knights and javes into a company of one hundred people, and awarded them a new flag with a burning flame painted on it.

At the same time, the Viking warriors recruited on the islands of Zeland also formed a company alone. These Viking warriors were strong and could also control narrow dragon-headed warships to plunder everywhere, often having unexpected effects, and could sweep towards the enemy like a gust of wind. For this reason, Aruod also ordered the smelting base to forge heavy armor suitable for these majestic soldiers. More than 200 heavy armors could not be made in one go. However, it can be imagined that once these two hundred pairs of heavy armor were worn on the Viking warriors, Aruod would have an additional powerful heavy infantry in his hand, and the flag given to this heavy infantry was a flapping wings.

The completion of the new military system made the soldiers of Mecklenburg feel hope, but everyone was actually confused about whether Arod could fulfill his promise. Without the test of a war, no one could guarantee that this was just a beautiful cake that Arod drew to deceive the soldiers, especially those second sons from the noble family who did not have the right to inherit. These second sons of the noble who joined Arod's army came with the idea of ​​temptation. Most people were still watching, that is, there were at least one hundred noble children in Mecklenburg. As for why there were so many noble children, after all, people did not have too many entertainment projects in this era, and the number of noble forces also depends on the number of family members.

"Clang, ding, ding~~~." On this day, the bell rang in the church in Mecklenburg. Arod and his wife Princess Josie attended a week. At the same time, the generals who were about to be conferred were also attending the service. Princess Josie wore a loose long skirt and was supported by the maid. She knelt on the soft cushion with her knees. The pastor wore white gloves to bless her, hoping that she could give birth to a healthy heir for Arod. Arod and Princess Josie knelt side by side in front of the altar and accepted the pastor's blessing. Then everyone walked around the so-called Virgin's holy trace cabinet. Arod tried hard to hold back his laughter while turning, and almost broke his palms with his fingernails. However, this was a matter of religious and political attitude, and he had to endure it.

"Sir Ron, for you have been here for a long time, your monarch serves loyally, and devotes your devotion to the Holy Church, and resists the invasion of the barbaric pagans under your monarch's banner. Are you doubtful among those present?" Arod dispersed his hair, the tips of his hair were slightly curled and drooped, and he wore an earl's crown on his head, and a white robe, but the corners of the robe were wrapped in gold thread and red wool velvet, on his chest was a black lion's herald pattern, and an emerald pendant around his neck highlighting the nobleness and wealth of Arod's identity. He hung his sword Terminator around his waist. At this time, Arod pulled the Terminator out and placed the sword on the right shoulder of Sir Ron who was kneeling in front of him.

"No~~~." The people in the church said in unison. Most of them were the knights and members of the sergeant group. They were dressed up in great costumes. The knights had their helmets under their arms, chain mail and a cloak, and the servants were wearing leather armor and blouses. Looking at the adults standing in the front row about to be sealed, they were in great moods, dreaming that one day they could be treated like this.

"Well, in this temple of God, I, the ruler of Mecklenburg and Zeland, will grant you the title of Baron Ron, and at the same time, the Rage Lion Castle will be granted to you, Baron Ron, you must remember the oath of loyalty and courage." Arod looked around and saw that no one raised any objections. He announced loudly to Ron and others, and slapped his sword heavily on Ron's back and granted him the title of Baron. Ron actually said that he was a distant relative of the Wendell family in blood. Among these people who were granted, he was the only one who won the title of Baron, and most of the others obtained the village fiefs.

"I swear to be loyal to you and your legal heir, my monarch." Baron Ron felt Arod hit his back with his sword and announced in public, tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes. Becoming a baron means that he finally became a middle-class nobleman and also owned a castle.

"Get up, Baron." Arod asked Ron to stand up with satisfaction. Before giving Ron the Rage Lion Castle, he had moved the academy to Mecklenburg. For Arod, the talents in the academy are worthy of attention than the fortress, and Ron will certainly not complain about obtaining a castle.

In the church, Arod rewarded the generals who followed him in the war, not only to appease their military morale, but also to show others that they would have meat and wine when they followed him. Although people in Europa generally established their social status through layers of vassal relationships, and usually serve the lord or ministers of the monarch, they would not rely on the enthusiasm of these people without the benefit to do so. Although there may be aristocrats or civilians who are highly morale to fight against pagans, most of them are ordinary people, and religions cannot serve as food and wine.

Arod worked hard to win over the nobles and capture the hearts of the people in the territory. After the reward was over, he held a sumptuous banquet in Mecklenburg to entertain the nobles who received the reward, as well as those who came from afar to attend the ceremony, and used the financial resources accumulated in Mecklenburg to satisfy people's belly. This generous banquet in this cold winter will undoubtedly satisfy everyone. Even the clergy in the church kept drawing crosses to Arod with oily hands, wishing him long-term stability, and Arod sat on the throne with a smile on his face, raising his glass to respond to people's enthusiasm, and from time to time he looked at the raised belly of his wife, Princess Josie beside him.

"It would be great if my father and mother could be there." When Aruod's eyes fell on Yifu, who was sitting on the left corner and drinking alone, he couldn't help but feel bitter. The originally prosperous Wendel family was only two of them. The others were either dead or missing, and they didn't think much of it on weekdays, but the desolation of their brothers was contrasted in this lively banquet.

When Arude was feeling emotion, a guard suddenly walked in from outside the door, but his appearance did not affect people's interest. The guard surrounded the noisy crowd in the hall and squeezed past the crowd who were drinking and making noise to Arude. When he saw the appearance of the guard, Arude felt very strange and couldn't help but turn his face.

"Sir Earl, a team of carriages from the royal family arrived at the castle. What should we do?" The guard took off his wide helmet hat, bent down and put it in Arod's ear and said loudly. There was no way the hall was too noisy. Not only were people making loud noises, but there were also palace bands playing and playing in the upstairs corridor of the hall.

"Royal carriage, have you seen the flag?" Arod frowned. Why didn't he receive this news? Why did the royal family visit his castle in this cold weather? But he still got up and walked out with the guards. Baron Ron was still the personal knight serving Arod, and quickly put down his wine glass and followed Arod.r1152
