Black Iron Crown

There was another heated discussion among the people present, but in the end they all chose to agree with Grand Duke Mabula's proposal.

But at this moment, Earl Redmara who was on the side said again: "This idea is very good, but... we may have another choice!"

"Of course, I don't disapprove of this method, I just hope to have more certainty. If this method doesn't work, we still have other options!"

The Earl of Redmara's family is very powerful. His status is not only because of the title of Earl, but also because he has 800 elite armed soldiers and 50 heavy cavalry directly under him.

This is an extremely powerful strength among the earls. Generally, the lord with the title of earl mobilizes all his strength. Counting the army of the vassals, there are only about six or seven hundred armed soldiers, but Red Mara The Earl was different.

He occupies a large and rich territory, and the output in the land is much higher than that of other nobles, and because he is stuck on the north-south commercial road, he collects a lot of tolls every year. He has 800 direct regular troops.

With such strength as the backing, no one would dare to ignore what he said.

I saw that everyone turned their eyes to him, even the high and mighty empress looked at him with searching eyes.

"Ahem..." Earl Redmara cleared his throat and said, "As you all know, I went to the northern border some time ago, just to observe the situation there!"

"Of course, at that time, the investigation of Earl Zhebo was still secondary. I mainly wanted to check the quality of the iron ore, and see if I could sell one from which lord. I won't talk about these. !"

The Earl of Redmara continued: "And just as I was about to go south and return to the territory after I made some investigations, a group of robbers attacked my team, and one of my knights also betrayed me at this time , causing me to be captured by robbers!"

"In fact, I have always suspected that the bandits were ordered by Earl Zhebo to attack me!"

"And when I was captured, the knight who betrayed me for some reason forged his identity to ask the local nobleman for help, and the nobleman agreed to his request!"

"The baron quickly defeated the robbers and rescued me. After some conversations, I found out his identity. He is another branch of the Moreland family left by the royal family in the Northland. Now the Moreland family The father of the baron's grandfather was a prince in the Kingdom of Ridka back then. He was canonized as a baron because he was not valued. After the establishment of the empire, the royal family didn't think of that branch at all, so they stayed in the Northland as a baron! "

"Oh, that's it. Then, what is the role of the baron you mentioned? He is just a baron. Will Earl Zhebo give up fighting us because there is a royal branch in the north?" A lord said below .

"Of course not! Please listen to me!" Earl Redmara showed a gloomy expression on his face, and then said: "I am very grateful to him for being saved, so I gave him my coat of arms to contact him. .”

"Although he hasn't communicated with me for a long time, just a while ago, a team from the northern border found me and sold me equipment with the baron's letter and my coat of arms ring!"

"I believe Earl Wesley also knows about this, right?" Redmara looked at Earl Wesley and said. "

"Yes!" Earl Weasley nodded: "In fact, I was his first candidate to sell weapons. They came to the Imperial Capital for the first time this spring and brought a batch of armor of very good quality. I hope it can be sold to me, and at the same time help the royal family do a little bit!"

"Some time ago, I personally expanded the two companies to use their armor,

Later they came again, but because my finances were not very abundant at that time, I could only buy part of it! "

Earl Weasley said, with the faint intention of taking this matter on himself in his words.

Earl Redmara did not expose him either, and continued, "It can be seen that Baron Rainer is very supportive of the royal family. After all, he is also a descendant of the Merland family!"

"Even if he wants to help the royal family, so what! He is just a little baron. The northern border is rich in steel. Maybe he just has a lot of blacksmiths, or all the equipment he has accumulated for several years has been sold to the empire. What does this mean? Is it?" A lord questioned.

"Yes! You're right!" Earl Weasley interjected, "However, how could such a valuable commodity be transported to the imperial capital without strong arms? You all know the current state of the empire, which is so chaotic. Under such circumstances, lawbreakers have also become extremely rampant!"

"They have a strong armed force. That time there were five well-equipped knights accompanying them! I have never even seen the armor they wore, but it is obvious that the defense is very strong, and it looks heavy. please!"

"I know exactly what level they can reach. It is no exaggeration to say that those five powerful knights alone can even compete with fifteen newly formed heavy cavalry from the empire!"

Earl Weasley stared at the lord who spoke before, and then said: "Besides them, there are thirty infantrymen. Each of these infantrymen is wearing double-layer armor. I can see clearly. That's it. They were also able to maintain a very tight formation, and honestly, their movements looked as if they were being manipulated!"

Earl Redmara has always been echoing, and at this time he also spoke: "In Baron Rainer's letter to me, he mentioned that he has now ruled five baronies, with an effect of more than 800 square meters. The lord of the kilometer!"

"Although the scale of such a territory is not comparable to that of anyone here, you should be clear that this has surpassed the size of any lord in the northern border except Earl Zhebo, so the number of troops he owns can be You can imagine it!"

"You mean..." Grand Duke Mabula said: "I hope he can integrate some lords who still support the royal family to fight against Earl Zhebo? But the situation in the northern border is probably not optimistic. We don't know how many northerners The lord of the border is willing to serve the royal family!"

"It doesn't matter!" Earl Redmara didn't look at Grand Duke Mabula, and raised his brows and said, "We can give him some secret military support and send a small-scale elite army to help him!"

"And he can secretly transport iron materials to us through the mountains! Anyway, all we need is iron materials, and he only needs to be able to hold Earl Zhebo for a while and give us iron materials! Wait until we are free Come on, his condition is not so worth caring about!"

The implication of Earl Redmara's words is that as long as he can get the iron material from Reiner and delay Earl Zhebo, when the royal family is out of crisis, Reiner's life and death will not matter.
