Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

“Hmm……. ”

The soldiers haven't woken up yet. Rudy sits on his bed, his arms folded in his arms, groaning with a look of incomprehensibility.

In fact, his mind was not complicated by things that he could not understand. The target was Earl Frost's barracks.

It's been three days since I've been here, but I still can't understand the Earl of Marcus' barracks life in his eyes.

The most absurd of them was the training.

It was the beginning of the day to climb up and down the top of an empty mountain, regardless of the disease or class. After an all-day of illness, training and tactical training, the end of the day is also a mountain climb.

Simply put, it was a routine exercise by most armies, in addition to going up and down the mountain.

But the problem was the intensity of the training.

Rudyl has grown from a young age into a great knight with intense training and no shortage of it anywhere. The body that had been made with the ball for a long time was as strong as anyone else, not only as fast as his stamina.

The intensity of training was high enough that Rudy fainted in bed at the end of the day. It was perfectly natural that the clothes that I was wearing were covered in sweat and dust, and on the first day I was about to make sure that I had digested everything I ate in the morning because of my strength that I did not follow.

However, it is said that this dreadful exercise is not even half the usual robbery. In the words of the soldiers, it was' a level of moderate warmth, not overwhelming, because it was on its way. '

At first, I thought it was nonsense. However, after confirming that there was no one else but him who fell as he was at the end of the day, he had to admit that he was not bluffing.

Then, what about the actual training? Furthermore, to what extent is the strength of your usual 'hard’ training? And what kind of monsters are these knights who choose among soldiers with such formidable stamina?

"Is there even a land in Bren Kingdom that has such a fearsome army? No, not even the Royal Army under the Enemy Division. ’

Even Earl Rudyl's army of Poldenbaine, who boasted of being a moderate force in the kingdom, was not this strong.

“Ugh!”

Suddenly, Rudy shudders, wrapped around his shoulders with both hands.

There was something else I couldn't understand.

"Is this land rotten to the brim? ’

It seemed that way to Rudy. First of all, it was just the bed he was sitting on. Rudyl, who lived as a noble, was quite good enough to feel no great discomfort. It was not lavish enough for nobles, of course, but it was a great item when it was only used as a bed for sleeping.

The meals are not luxurious, but they are not lacking in stamina.

Apparently, the tapestry was also quite thick. It was enough for four or five dependents to live without being hungry.

Not only that.While serving as a soldier, the benefits of not being jealous of the families outside were returning.

They reduced taxes to be paid, gave them priority when they recruited people because of their working relationship in the territory, and provided them with free education if they had children.

And if they were injured or maimed or killed in training or combat, they were given at least 10 years of comfort to live without worries.

As Rudy put it, I couldn't have done it without a lot of money rotting away.

And in fact, Lycaen had money that was rotting away. However, there was only a disadvantage that it could not be declared externally and could not be cashed all at once.

And Lycaen was harassing administrators, including Raul, to provide a way to sustain those benefits without the help of the money.

“Phew! ”

Rudy sighs a long, troubled look on his face. No matter what he thought, there was only one conclusion in his mind.

"Is Earl Frost a warmonger? ’

I heard that the way to recruit soldiers from Earl Prokers was not as a recruitment agent, but as a recruitment. It meant that there was no mandatory military service to defeat. ― I had to pay a tax outside of the military, but most of the territories felt that the tax they were paying instead of the military was low. ―

Nevertheless, Earl Frost's forces had a record of reaching the legal limit.

It was all thanks to the tremendous benefits of being a soldier. With everything in place, as well as the chance to become a knight in every way, quite a lot of people had to shake their minds.

In any case, maintaining the army this way had to suffer considerable losses from the lord.

Nevertheless, Earl Frost was taking heavy losses. What I got in return was an elite army that never seemed to lose anywhere on the continent. And there was only one place to use the army: war.

If you do something after taking a loss, that person is crazy about that ‘something.’ Therefore, it was only natural to think of Earl Frost as a war buff who takes losses and raises an army.

But Rudy eventually shakes his head.

‘No... ’

Rudy has yet to forget what he saw the day after he came here to Earl Prokers.

It was a picture of ten naked men carrying rocks all day long, covering only the important parts of their lower legs and their buttocks.

And many territorials came to the fortress and laughed and reveled as they watched.

As a nobleman, Rudy had to be appalled. But it was from medicine.

They were stunned to do so at the Resistance wall where the Lord lived, but their identity was even more frightening.

These were the knights of Earl Frost.

And despite being seen by countless territorials, not a single knight was angry.

It didn't end there.

Lycaen, the lord, has permitted the actions of these astonishing knights. And Lycaen didn't have enough of that, so he laughed and chatted and enjoyed it with the colonists, as well as made fun of the knights with a loud voice.

He showed me so much about Lycaen.

What knight in the world would suffer to run around naked and become a spectacle for the colonists? He would kill himself, saying he would insult the lord if he gave such a command. Most of the Knights would rather kill him.

In Earl Frost, however, these appearances were natural.

Although the knights were shy about showing their nakedness, they accepted the sights of the colonists as if they were normal.

The colonists also enjoyed the appearance of the knights without fear of them. even though the lord Lycaen stands with him.

Everything is an atmosphere created by Licayen.

‘Ha! What the hell is that? ’

Rudy grips her hair with a snarling force, making a harassing and complex look.

Pow, pow!

Suddenly, the trumpet sounds.

“Wake up! Wake up!" ”

Soldiers who woke up from their beds shouted out loud with their mouths, while their hands made the bed and dressed in familiar movements.

Rudy also quickly got up and made the bed. Meanwhile, a man who was about to make his bed and run out asked Rudy.

“Huh? Who are you? Why are you up so early? ”

It was Hurley, one of Rudy's platoon's top soldiers.

The only people who knew that he was originally a nobleman were Lycaen and Senna. And Aton guessed, but didn't pull it out of his mouth.

Of course, even the soldiers didn't know who Rudy was. It was just being perceived as "oddly difficult to deal with." That's why everyone didn't get close enough to Rudy.

Holly was the only soldier who spoke well to Rudy, pretended to be close, and took care of things.

Rudy hurriedly shakes his hand and runs toward the outside.

“Yes? Oh, I just can't sleep. Oh, I'll be late. Get out of here!”

Earl Frost's breakfast was simple and simple.

It was Derek's lifelong habit as the owner of a poor territory. Hildor, who was born as the daughter of a nobleman without territory and lived without luxury, was familiar with this simple meal, and it was also natural for Senna who had always had a simple breakfast since childhood.

And for Lycaen, who had been chasing the battlefield all his life, this was almost like a dinner.

Derek picks up the soup made from boiling vegetables and looks at Lycaen, stiffened with a spoon. Then, after thinking about something for a while, he stands a little distance away and says to Deacon Menen.

“I heard you brought some quality beef yesterday. ”

Derrick throws a sudden throw that he never talks to himself during his usual meal, and Menen looks at the owner with a flawed look on his face.

Perhaps you heard the conversation you had with Chef Fello in the castle yesterday.

“That's right. I heard Chef Fello had a hard time getting it from someone he knew. ”

“Hmm... I didn't hear that wrong. So, is that really good quality? ”

“I heard from Pelo that the best continent is never far from Mount Ruo. ”

“I see. This should taste good. Hum, hum! ”

Suddenly, Menen catches a deep crease in Derek's gaze as he clears his throat. He had lived as Earl Frost's butler for quite some time, but had never seen anything like it during a meal.

What's wrong with him? ’

But I don't think about that question anymore. I simply returned to my original posture and stood tall, waiting for the Procures family to finish their meal.

‘That ignorant bastard...! ’

Derek looks at Menen with a dazzling look.
