Black Iron Crown

　　 After more than ten days, the news that Rainer led the army on the edge of the territory to fight against the Clades spread throughout most of the northern border. Some people expressed admiration for his behavior, but still did not appreciate his tactics.

　　 And some people think that this nobleman who has just inherited the title is quite stupid. Although the Clades have a strong fighting capacity, they often kill elephants. Although this sentence does not exist in the imperial proverb, everyone understands this truth.

　　If the numbers are the same, the well-equipped Northern Lords who rely on iron ore are naturally not afraid, but the number of enemies is so large that the equipment and training can't be equalized, they can only choose to avoid their edge.

"Leiner? He is brave! But I will be more brave than him!" A young nobleman knocked on the table in the castle. He had just inherited his father's title and he was more eager to establish prestige than Leiner, which is rare among barons. The huge realm of Moland is much more complicated than the situation in Fort Morand.

　　 "Don't be like this Kahn, we will consume too much force in the war, and now so many people are eyeing us, don't do this kind of power-consuming thing!"

　　 A middle-aged knight stood and said to Kahn that his position as he had just inherited the title was unstable, so he was so aggressive. He just wanted everyone to see that your monarch was very talented.

　　 "Don't persuade me! I must convince everyone as soon as possible! They are still willing to listen to me, and I will not dare to confirm this if some time passes!"

　　 Kahn's face is not very good-looking, he is very uncomfortable with the recent rumours of the territory, and some people's contempt for him also makes him very angry.

　　 "Now everyone is gathered in the castle. If I mobilize some more free people, it will reach more than 400. I don't believe that the invading Clads will really exceed a thousand!"

Kahn vowed to say, and the knight still said with a heartfelt word: "This year's snow is much bigger than every year. The prey in the boreal forest will definitely be reduced by a large amount, and the Klads entering and plundering will definitely be more than in previous years. More! Let's be more cautious!"

　　 "I have already decided, don't persuade me anymore, immediately order the army to assemble, the freedmen take up arms and put on armed clothes, I will defeat the enemy before they enter the territory!" Baron Kahn said solemnly.

　　 The knight looked at the young Fengjun in front of him, and recently I could only helplessly say: "Yes, my master, I will go to convey your order!"

　　 After his order was given, there was an uproar immediately. His vassals expressed dissatisfaction with the order, but because they had already issued a pledge of loyalty to him, it was difficult not to obey it.

　　 The same is true for the freedmen. Some freedmen refuse to serve and choose to use food to support him. Although freedmen have the obligation to perform military service for the lord, it is not impossible to replace them with food.

After all, they can be regarded as rich peasants. They still brought out an armed suit and a pickaxe or a spear from the family. Good food also allowed their bodies to surpass ordinary serfs, so they were a regular army provided by the lord. And the greatest power beyond the knight.

　　 But freedmen or self-employed farmers are still afraid of death. They are like citizens of higher status. Although they have obligations, they have relatively great rights.

　　 What's more, they also hold force in their hands, and nobles usually don't do too much.

　　 However, as the empire has been peaceful throughout the year, the freedmen have reduced their wars and their status has gradually declined. Many freedmen have been squeezed into bankruptcy by the lords, and they have become serfs by annexing their lands.

　　 In this way, he led more than 200 soldiers and freedmen to the edge of the territory.

　　 The merchants and prostitutes who would follow the army basically every time the army went out had no plans to follow this time. Kahn’s idea was too risky, and the entire baronial people were not optimistic about this battle.

　　 Therefore, for safety reasons, these people did not follow the army. Unlike the empires, the Clades only saw food and women in their eyes. Once an enemy appeared, they would immediately kill them.

At the same time, a baronial in the northern part of Kahn's territory has all fallen. The hungry Cladders actually attacked the castle with their flesh, looting everything in the castle, and finally fired. Burned down the small civil structure.

　　 As for the people inside, it is natural that they are completely destroyed. Only a few lucky ones can escape from the hands of the Klads. Except for the women and young children who are still able to give birth, all of them died in the hands of the Klads.

　　 There were some castles that would be breached by the Cladds before, but that was a small number after all. Only three castles have been breached in the past two decades.

　　 One after another, some refugees fleeing from the north brought the news to Baron Kahn.

　　 After listening to the refugee's account, his face gradually became serious, and thousands of people directly broke through the castle, which he hadn't expected before.

At this time, he already regretted it a little. The number of enemies has exceeded the past few years. Before, the Klads would stay in a part of the north. UU reading www.uukanshu.com will not reach them many people, most of them are looting. Some wandering residents who did not have time to enter the castle.

　　 But this time it was much more serious. His northern neighbors were even wiped out. After a large number of enemies plundered, they continued to plunder south.

　　 "My Lord Baron, the enemy is estimated to enter our territory tomorrow, if we return to the castle now, we still have time!" The baron Kahn persuaded him again.

　　 Baron Kahn was very anxious, and he wanted to go back, but he was already on the string and had to send it out. He had just taken over the territory and had to confront the enemy directly to improve his reputation.

　　 If he flinches at this time, he, Lord Baron, will undoubtedly become the laughing stock of all vassals and residents, and other lords will laugh at him for this.

　　 His reputation plummeted, which would cause a lot of trouble, and his rule would become unstable because of this, so he has no turning back now, and can only bite the bullet and continue.

　　 "Shut up old stuff! If you say these things that disrupt the military's morale, I will take back your benevolence!" The anxiety in his heart made him more irritable, and he was so abusive to his **** supporter.

The middle-aged knight looked at Baron Kahn in a daze, and finally just lowered his head so that he could not see his expression, and whispered: "Yes, my master, I will fight for you to know the moment I die. !"

　　 The anxious Baron Kahn didn't realize the other side's overtones at all, and ordered the army to be on guard, and the knights began to patrol around to prevent the Clades from crossing the border secretly.

　　 On the side of Fort Morand, while Rainer led the army to climb the ice and snow while stationed at the border, after more than half a month passed, finally ushered in the first ray of wolf smoke that hit the sky.
