Black Iron Crown

Reiner, who sent away these lords, was in a much better mood. Now he finally improved his winning rate against Earl Zhebo. Earl Zhebo has just summoned less than half of the lords under his command. More than 1,500 regular troops.

If they were all gathered together, what a terrifying number they would have. Three thousand people are estimated to be a small number. If his own army is included, it would be nearly four thousand people!

The regular army of 4,000 lives is almost enough to participate in the war for the throne. The appearance of such a powerful army in the northern border is obviously not something they can easily resist.

Sitting in his room, Reiner carefully watched the information about Earl Zhebo sent by Logan. Nearly 2,000 soldiers had gathered in Mecaron City and the number was still increasing.

However, because Logan's intelligence personnel are just ordinary residents, they can only simply speculate on the number of troops gathered outside the city wall, and cannot obtain such information intuitively.

However, the intelligence officer still conveyed information to Reiner in all aspects. Grain carriages kept going out of the city from the granary in Mecaron City full of grain. It is estimated that the day when Earl Zhebo went north is not far away. up.

At the same time, the royal family also made a move. One hundred elite armed soldiers and thirty heavily armed heavy cavalry quietly left the imperial capital with a group of carriages, and headed north while hiding their whereabouts. and then go.

"Sir Horn, are we really going to go through the dense forest this time? Seriously, it took me half a month to get from the northern border to the imperial capital through that jungle!"

A tall, blond man in light leather armor riding on a tall war horse said to a middle-aged man with a beard beside him.

He is a member of the heavy cavalry just formed by the royal family, and he joined this team very smoothly because of his strong strength and proficient riding skills. A descendant of the royal family, it is estimated that a duck is qualified to be a ten-man leader.

"Of course! Feide, the imperial capital and the lords are no longer enough to use the steel, and according to my observation, the barbarian earl in the northern border seems to be still selling steel to the lords in other regions to make huge profits. If this continues, the royal family and the lords will Lose the advantage under this ebb and flow!"

Sir Horn subconsciously stroked the light red beard on his chin, and said: "So we have to go to the northern border, where there is a royal branch lord named Rainer, they are in the northernmost Fort Mollander Wherever we live, that is the goal of our trip!"

"Fort Moreland?" The heavy cavalryman seemed very surprised. Although he only aimed at the northern border, he really didn't know that they were going to Fort Moreland.

"Isn't that my hometown?" Fei De said with some surprise, she was indeed a yeoman from Fort Moreland in the north.

Back then, his family had 200 mu of fertile arable land. Even if he paid 30% of the harvest to the Moreland family every year, he still had a lot of surplus. In addition, his father had superb hunting skills. His elder brother can often eat fresh meat. In addition, his family also raises ten lambs, and he can drink some goat milk every year, which makes him so tall and strong.

In fact, if he hadn't grown up and didn't want to share the family's cultivated land with his brother who had a good relationship, he wouldn't have gone through the dense jungle to make a living inside the empire.

But now he is going back to his hometown, Federer is very nervous.

"Oh, it turns out that you are still from Fort Moreland. It seems that our trip will go much smoother!" Sir Horn said with a smile.

In this way, the team quickly marched towards the north,

But what makes them uncomfortable is that the imperial capital is too far away from the northern border. After traveling for half a month, they are still nearly 300 kilometers away from the northern border. This is a journey of more than ten days, not to mention They still have to pass through a dense forest, where the road conditions can be imagined, and it is obviously impossible to pass there without spending some time.

At this time, Leiner had been waiting in the castle for nearly a month, but Earl Zhebo hadn't made any changes. He was still gathering troops. Up to now, he had gathered nearly 3,000 regular troops. In addition, more than 300 knights and more than 600 archers have gathered there.

But Reiner knew that it was not far from Earl Zhebo's real action, because he had already received another letter from Earl Zhebo.

The above is all about himself and Mekasha. It seems that he understands all of this very well, and he is extremely skilled at threatening and wooing a sweet date with a stick. First of all, he threatens Reiner if What will happen if you don't rely on yourself, dispatch the army to attack Leiner and so on.

Then the topic changed again, and he started to talk about the benefits that Reiner would get when he took refuge, marrying Mekasha and leading a happy life and so on.

But Leiner didn't believe a single word. Things had reached this point. He had assembled a regular army of nearly 3,000 people, and the total number was about to reach 4,000. How could he surrender Leiner in such an anticlimactic manner?

Reiner believed even more that the letter was the smoke released by Earl Zhebo deliberately trying to numb himself, and he was unwilling to believe that Earl Zhebo really meant it.

What's more, even if everything he said is true, it is impossible for Reiner to really rely on him. Although this war is dangerous, once it is won, it will be a one-step achievement.

For this reason, Leiner is willing to take a huge risk to give it a go, and Earl Zhebo is not completely invincible. As long as there is enough time, Leiner is confident that he will gradually have the strength to surpass the opponent.

Although he still can't forget Mekasha, but after all, he wrote the breakup letter by himself and sent it to someone. Although Mekasha never replied to the letter, after all, he proposed the breakup.

Time passed by little by little, and Logan sent a piece of information to Reiner's study every day. Although these information were several days ago, he still read them very seriously.

Moreover, during this period of time, the lords who have reached a covenant with Leiner also communicate frequently with each other, just hoping to exchange feelings to make the subsequent battle easier, otherwise they will calculate each other and have discord It's not a good combat state.

In such a state, time passed quickly, and a month passed like this, and Earl Zhebo also completely broke his face with the northern lords, and sent them more than 20 letters of challenge in a row.
