The Teutonic Knights did not expect that as powerful heavy cavalry, they had no power to fight back in front of light cavalry like nomads. In Arod's Duke's tent, they all lowered their heads and held their helmets under their armpits, as if they had defeated the war.

"Don't be depressed, I'm holding such an exercise to let you understand the opponents you may encounter in the future." Aruod didn't want the knights to lose their high morale, so he encouraged the knights and said.

"This kind of fighting style is so annoying." Yifu said angrily. He was used to fighting against each other, but the nomadic cavalry's close and remote attack did make the knights unaccustomed.

"However, the attacks of these nomadic cavalry cannot penetrate our armor." Harold looked at his colleagues around him. It was indeed that the armor of the knights was made from a smelting base and was made by forging and brushing. The fine chain mail was very effective in defending arrows.

"That's because your armor is excellent, but if those archers use this kind of arrow, do you think they will be spared?" Aruod said as he took an arrow from his servant.

This arrow is different from an ordinary arrow. The arrow part is not the short, round and flat feature of Europa, but is like a long drop, with a sharp tip emitting cold light. You can tell at a glance that it was carefully crafted.

"This?" Looking at the arrow, cold sweat broke out on Yifu and others' foreheads. It was obvious that this was a special armor-breaking arrow.

"The arrows of this kind are carefully forged, and the shafts are made of flexible fir and are coated with anti-corrosion paint." Arod explained to the Teutonic Knights.

"Damn it, if you encounter such an arrow, ordinary chain mail will not be able to defend against it at all." Yifu shook his head, and he had to admit it.

"Does the Duke think that the Teutonic Knight is useless?" Harold said in disgust.

"It's not so. I just think that the advantages of various troops should be made stronger." Aruod smiled slightly, not caring about Harold's confrontation. In fact, men are together. Especially among the soldiers, it would be boring to speak if they were hidden.

"Oh, how can I change the strength?" Yifu's eyes lit up, and he seemed to hear what Aruod said.

"In the future, the Teutonic Knights' armor will become more and more refined, but at the same time they also need a unit of our own light cavalry, just like the javes of the Mecklenburg Legion." Arod said to the Teutonic Knights.

"You can organize the honorary Teutonic Knights." Harold said quickly. Some of his friends did not undergo strict assessments and were defeated and turned into honorary Teutonic Knights. He hoped to fight side by side with these companions.

"Yes, but their armor should be as light as possible, like nomadic cavalry, and they should worship the nomadic cavalry as their teachers." Arod nodded to Harold and said.

"But, they are all knights, how can they be like those savages?" Harold frowned, and he still looked down on the nomadic tribe from the bottom of his heart.

"Shut up, anyone with a skill should be a role model for us to learn from, so that the Teutonic Knights can become stronger and stronger. To become the pillar of the Principality of Mecklenburg, you must remember this." Arod stood up and said loudly to the Teutonic Knights.

"Yes, Lord Duke." The Teutonic Knights were shocked when they heard this. They knew that they would have a place to use their skills, which was the greatest honor for the soldiers, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.

After attacking the Teutonic Knights, Arod soon encouraged their morale again and arranged a banquet to make the young men happy.

"Although Arude said it well, I'm very worried!" However, when Arude and Ifu were alone, Ifu couldn't help but express his concerns.

"It's a matter of money!" Aruod picked up the wine pot, poured a glass of wine for his brother, and took a glass of wine himself.

"That's right. You have to support the Mecklenburg Legion and expand the Teutonic Knights. You didn't get much money in the battle with the Duke of Bavaria!" Yifu never talked about these things in front of outsiders. Only when the two brothers were together would they talk about such a secret matter. Without money, the army would soon disperse. After all, Aruod implemented a professional soldier system.

If it was a feudal recruitment system, these soldiers were scattered in the farmlands of the fiefdom on weekdays, self-sufficient and no need to support them, and could also provide supplies and taxes to the lords. When the lord needs to fight, a summoning order can recruit troops, and of course the combat effectiveness will be much worse.

In addition to the basic Baojia soldiers, Arod's Mecklenburg Legion only conducts basic military training for farmers and civilians during the week, and does not need to work. It is generally scattered in towns and villages. However, Arod's Mecklenburg Legion's backbone is professional soldiers raised in castles, and its daily task is to continuously train, train and train.

"I plan to use the money from the Principality of Mason to arm the Mecklenburg Legion, and then use the money from the two Principalities to expand the Teutonic Knights." Arod told Iv's idea.

"The Duke of the Principality of Mason is your son. As a regent, you can appoint your own tax collector. Mason is another relatively rich territory. If you have Mason's financial support, your burden will be much less." Yifu agreed with Arod's idea.

"So I plan to send some Mecklenburg officials to the Principality of Mason." Arod knew the importance of grassroots officials very well, so he established a special school in Mecklenburg, spending a sum of funds to fund education, and cultivating some servants with writing and execution skills. Then he summoned the servants with excellent grades to the court to practice their ruling ability.

Arod said that after the cavalry exercise, ten servants set out from the court of Mecklenburg, and these young servants took Arod's order, which was issued in the name of the Regent, appointed them as chiefs of the important towns and castles of the Principality of Mason.

"Bring these letters to the Earl of Weimar, Earl of Plaun and Earl of Thuringia." At the same time, in order to ensure the loyalty of Mason's three vassals, Arod also ordered people to bring several letters, accompanied by explanations for the support of the royal family.

"This nouveau riche has really come to this point." Earl of Weimar said disregardly after hearing the priest's letter.

"With the rule of two principalities, Aruod must have made a lot of money, but he refused to give us any gifts. What a stingy guy." The young and beautiful wife of Count Weimar complained dissatisfiedly while feeding the berries to the old Count.

"He is going to invite us to Mecklenburg for a banquet. Baby, do you think we want to give him some face?" Earl Weimar smiled and asked with his white and tender little hands.

"Well, I really don't want to go to a countryside like Mecklenburg, but I'm so tired of going out for a walk recently in Weimar." The count's wife turned her eyes and said to her husband.

Another letter was in the hands of Count Thuringian, one of the few nobles who could read the letters by himself. He sat in the courtyard and frowned and pondered. The meaning of this letter was far more than the content. It was not just about attending a banquet, but about Mason's vassals choosing their position.

"Father, Arod, the Duke of Mecklenburg, is not easy to mess with. I heard that even the Duke of Bavaria has not obtained any advantage at his hands." Earl Thuringian's son stood beside the Count and said.

"The Duke of Bavaria covets the land of the Principal of Mason. It is a good thing for Arod to defeat him, but we must think clearly about the interests." Earl Thuringian said to his son.

"But there are rumors among the nobles of Mason." Earl Thuringian said carefully.

"What rumors?" Earl Thuringian raised his snow-white eyebrows and asked to his son.
