Start as Inherited Baroness

As for the leather-armored infantry in the team, Simon all changed into iron breastplates lined with full-body double-layer chain mail, and iron helmets and other items were all in complete sets.

Weapons are divided into three types: sword and shield, spear and shield, or spear alone. This is the configuration of light infantry in this chamber.

The equipment of heavy infantry and heavy cavalry is already very good, so there is no need to change it. At most, buy a few spare weapons.

The light cavalry is equipped with an iron breastplate lined with a single layer of chain armor. The light infantry's equipment originally meets this position and does not need to be changed.

Sarit and Airey were wearing heavy iron armor and chain armor. They looked very powerful, but in fact their defensive power was not as good as plate armor.

Simon also plans to change them. The former will be equipped with chain armor, and the latter will be equipped with knight armor.

Airey is more powerful and plans to train him to be a warrior who charges into battle, while Sarit focuses more on training and commanding.

And Simon must also prepare a suit of knight armor for himself, which means that just two sets of knights and horse armor will cost 360 golden eagles.

Coupled with other soldiers' equipment and some hard bows, the total price reached more than 1,300 golden eagles.

This was really not a small amount. Simon hesitated for a while, but decided to pay the bill. He bargained off the small amount and bought it.

After all, force is the core guarantee of survival.

With these equipments put on, his team of more than a hundred people would become a well-equipped elite.

The steward of the caravan had a smile on his face and respectfully provided many services. He also presented 500 iron-tipped arrows and 60 armor-piercing arrows.

After half a day's work, everyone had finished changing their clothes, and the entire team had a completely new look.

Simon and Airey did not change into knight armor. The armor was too heavy and inconvenient for daily movement. They still wore the heavy armor from before.

This set of piercing armor is only about half the weight of the knight's armor and has good defensive capabilities, but its protection against armor-piercing arrows and blunt objects is much inferior.

After finishing the installation, Simon will take people back to Kazama Chamber of Commerce. There are many houses there where they can rest for a while.

But halfway, he was stopped by a group of people.

"Baron Simon! This is Kilon, the leader of the Iron Bear Mercenary Group. I hope to be loyal to you!"

The leader was very tall, taller than the people around him. He was wearing iron armor and had a two-handed sword and war hammer on his waist.

It looks like there is plenty of force.

But at this time, he knelt down on one knee in front of Simon, his face full of respect.

"Why do you want to be loyal to me?"

"Lord Baron, I think you are hiring someone because Keelon wants to become a noble, and the relationship between our Iron Bear Mercenary Group and the War Spear Mercenary Group is not harmonious.

There have been several minor conflicts before due to commissions.

In addition, there is a statue of a golden deer below dedicated to the Baron! "

This black bear-like man raised his head and glanced at Simon, feeling very uneasy. He didn't know if this lucky civilian baron could understand him.

Naturally, Simon has a clear mind. This guy wants to become his knight, and one of the bargaining chips is that he can check and balance Kyler who owns the spear mercenary group.

"I'm going to examine you for a while." Simon said calmly.

"Thank you, Lord Baron!" Keelon looked happy and bowed again.

"Get up, how many people do you have?" Simon asked casually.

"Ninety-three warriors, all elite warriors who have gone through many battles." Keelung stood up and bowed slightly.

"I will call you when I set off." Simon nodded, said softly, and led the people away.

"Yes! Be loyal to the Baron!" Keelon said respectfully.

On the way back.

"Call Mader over here." Simon ordered softly.

"Yes." Immediately, a guard went to call the quartermaster Ma De, who was walking slightly behind the team.

"My Lord Baron, please give me your orders!"

"Take a few people to inquire about the Iron Bear Mercenary Group and see what the reputation is like." Simon said softly.

"Yes, I understand." Mader immediately pointed out a few light infantrymen and left in a hurry.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the territory of the Kazama Chamber of Commerce.

Simon stood at the intersection and looked at the streets on both sides, only to see people coming and going in and out of various shops.

These are all shops opened by the Kazama Chamber of Commerce. There are more than a dozen of them, almost occupying this street.

It has to be said that Carlyle is a capable person, but this kind of person is often too ambitious and unwilling to be inferior to others.

"Simon, are you back?"

At this time, someone had already gone to notify Winnis, and she ran out of a two-story building with several maids.

This building should be the main headquarters of the Kazama Chamber of Commerce.

"Well, I have a task for you next."

Simon smiled at him and said, with so many people watching now, he would definitely not do anything frivolous.

"What is it?" Winnis looked at him affectionately and smiled.

"Mobilize the power of the Kazama Chamber of Commerce to purchase large quantities of cattle, horses and grain, mainly rye and supplemented by barley.

Of course we have to buy some wheat and we can eat it ourselves. "Simon said.

"Don't worry, my father has already sent someone to contact the seller."

"Oh, thank you for your hard work." Simon nodded with satisfaction.

After that, everyone entered the headquarters of the Kazama Chamber of Commerce. There was a courtyard with many rooms, and the residences of the members of the Spear Mercenary Group were also here.

“There are still a lot of free rooms here, and your soldiers should be able to stay in them if they squeeze in.

If it really doesn’t work, you can pitch a tent in the yard. "Winice said again.

"Um."

Simon responded and looked around. Winness took him into a room on the second floor, facing south.

Except for Airey who followed him with a few heavy infantrymen as guards, the others were arranged by the servants to stay in the courtyard.

"This is the best room. Let's live here for the next few days." Winness said.

"Not bad." Simon looked around, then reached into the cloth bag on his waist and took out 500 gold eagles from the storage bar.

"Take this money. If the seller comes and I'm not here, you can pay." He took off the cloth bag and put it on the table, saying.

"Okay, don't worry." Winness smiled when she heard this, and went over to pick up the cloth bag. As soon as she picked it up, she found it was really heavy.

"Help me take off my armor. It's tiring to wear it all the time." Simon stretched.

"Hmm~" This woman is really obedient, like a cat.

After a while, the heavy armor was removed from his body, Simon went to lie on the bed, opened his hands, and Winice immediately went over and lay in his arms.

However, he did not make any further movements, as if he was sleepy and wanted to take a nap.

In fact, Simon was upgrading his soldiers. He had experimented before that giving soldiers enhancement points would not cause them obvious discomfort.

Unlike his own enhancement, it seemed to take effect slowly.

After more than half an hour, all the enhancements were completed, and the soldiers' accumulated enhancement points were basically used up.

Now his soldiers are on average around level six.

The iron bones of light infantrymen were all increased to five, and they all had the physical fitness of high-level warriors.

The iron bones of archers were generally increased to four, and some were added to running.

The iron bones of heavy infantrymen were all increased to eight, all of which had the physical fitness of bronze warriors.

The heavy cavalry were generally above seven, and they also clicked on horseback riding.

The enhancement of ordinary soldiers was now fully arranged.

As for the newly accumulated strengthening points of Aire and Sarit, they were going to keep some of them and give them some points in the direction of knights.

After finishing his business, Simon began to take care of the beauty in his arms. Not long after, a faint cry came from the room...
