Black Iron Crown

Frowning and looking at the army with the royal coat of arms ahead, Leiner immediately ordered the senior cavalry archers to gallop forward with a white flag.

"Please stop! Show your identities and why you are here!" Fede shouted loudly.

Looking at the white flags held by the other party, they did not make any drastic moves. White flags represent negotiations and no malice, so they gradually relaxed their vigilance.

The senior cavalry archer ran to the front of the opponent's line and shouted loudly: "I am the lord of the North, the conqueror of the alien race, the patron of the Holy Father, and a soldier under the command of Baron Rainer Moreland! I serve my master! Order to ask why you appear on the edge of my master's territory!"

"It's Baron Rainer!" Feid said with a smile to Sir Horn beside him, but he didn't know much about the new owner of Fort Moreland. When he left Fort Moreland to seek life in the interior, Le Lena hasn't returned yet, and Lena's father is still in charge of Moland Castle.

Sir Horn subconsciously stroked his proud light red beard and replied loudly: "We come from the imperial capital of Lomas, and we were sent by Her Majesty the Queen!"

In this way, after the two sides revealed their identities, they quickly let go of their vigilance and prepared for battle. They also followed the senior cavalry archer to come to Leiner.

Looking at the young Reiner in front of him, Sir Horn was not too surprised, because he already knew that the other party was a young and promising lord before he came.

Riding on a horse, he bowed slightly as a salute, and he said to Reiner: "I am Horn, a knight loyal to the royal family. I have long heard that Baron Reiner is a young hero. Today I finally see your dignity!"

Reiner didn't care how loud the other party's flattery was, and asked directly: "Then, Sir Horn, why did you bring people around my territory?"

"Ah..." Sir Horne smiled, stroked his big light red beard and said, "You know, your neighbor, Earl Zhebo, is very disloyal to the royal family. And cut off the steel supply to the royal family!"

"But now the lords in other regions who are dissatisfied with the royal family can still get a steady stream of steel from the northern border. The royal family does not want to face those disloyal lords with a disadvantageous posture, so they sent us to the northern border to hope to pass you Get some steel, of course, we brought enough gold coins, we won't let you pay for nothing!"

Reiner glanced at him, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "That's it?"

Seeing Reiner's smile froze, Sir Horne couldn't help but took a deep breath, and then continued to smile and said: "Of course it's not just that, Earl Redmara, Earl Weasley said your current status in front of the queen. They hope that you can integrate other lords who are loyal to the royal family to resist Earl Zhebo's ambition!"

"For this reason, the royal family will not hesitate to confer titles. Maybe you will become a noble earl, and maybe a duke!" Sir Horn looked at Reiner with eyes full of expectations, hoping to see him The expression changes, and then buy a large amount of steel to go back.

After all, steel is an important resource no matter where it is. Now that Reiner is facing the pressure of Earl Zhebo, he may not be willing to sell steel to himself.

Reiner watched the rapid operation in the other party's mind, thinking about what kind of benefits and what kind of help the other party might bring to him.

Seeing that Rainer didn't reply to him immediately, Sir Horn continued: "Of course, after Her Majesty the Queen found out that you are a descendant of the Moreland family, and you are actively fighting against Earl Zhebo and not yielding to his despotic power Very happy! And appointed us to support you while transporting steel!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the hundred armed soldiers behind him and said, "These people are your reinforcements, and they will obey you in the next battle between you and Earl Zhebo!"

"That's right!" Sir Horne looked at Rainer and said again: "You led the army south with such a big fanfare... Could it be... that you are going to war with Earl Zhebo?"

Lena glanced at him,

Then he said: "Yes, Earl Zhebo has sent a letter of challenge to none of us lords who are still loyal to the royal family. He wants to clean up our group of people and bring the entire northern border into his control." under the rule.

"What?" Reiner asked, "You guys are from the south, don't you know about this? Earl Zhebo should have set off with his army now, right?"

Sir Horne and the others sneaked in from the forest, and it was obviously impossible for Earl Zhebo to let them go to the northern border to obtain steel through the area under his control, so he had no knowledge of this matter.

After explaining the whole story to Leiner, Leiner nodded and said: "Okay, I understand, but since you are also my reinforcements, then join my army now, if this time we If Earl Zhebo can be defeated, the royal family will regain the source of steel and the support of all the lords in the north!"

Reiner was very satisfied with Sir Horn's words. For reinforcements, more strength is always good. At the beginning, he was not very happy when he said he wanted to buy iron materials.

Although this could bring him a lot of income, to be honest, at this point, all he wanted was victory, and gold coins could not buy victory. In this situation, the royal family actually wanted to benefit from themselves.

However, after Sir Horn said the following words, Reiner's mood improved a lot. The hundred soldiers were obviously a huge support force, and the more troops there were, the more chances of winning.

What's more... In addition to these one hundred soldiers, aren't there thirty heavy cavalry? These heavy cavalry have a stronger combat effectiveness than infantry, and if they join in, they will undoubtedly be a surprise soldier.

"But...but...our task is to provide a batch of steel to the royal family..." Sir Horne was a little speechless, the beard on his chin was trembling slightly, and his frowning showed that he was at this moment tangled.

"Don't worry! It will be soon! This war will not last long anyway. Besides, even if I provide you with a batch of steel, if I fail in this war, the entire northern border will be destroyed." Everything has fallen into the control of Earl Zhebo, and the royal family will never get any more steel except for this batch of iron!"

I am suitable, if I want to win over Earl Zhebo, it will not be a small price! So you should help me win as much as possible! Only in this way can the royal family get the greatest benefit! "Horn was speechless after what Leiner said, and he really couldn't find any reason to reject Leiner.

And Pang Fei De looked at the current owner of the land in his hometown with curiosity and admiration. His wrist is obviously not something that a small local lord in a remote country can have. After a few years in the imperial capital, his vision He was also a lot taller, and he also had some disdain for the knight grandfather whom he admired so much in the past.
