Black Iron Crown

At this time, the city of Mecaron was already in chaos, and the people there were not of one mind. Besides the local residents, there were also some foreign businessmen who hadn't had time to escape.

They wanted to leave here countless times, but the city gate was closed, how could Sir Fata let them leave?

Therefore, these people caused countless chaos and riots in the castle, but they were finally suppressed by Sir Fata and the mob of citizens.

"What to do! That Earl Rainer has arrived! We are going to die!" A businessman who was dressed more decently and had a string of ornaments around his neck said to another businessman in a panic.

"Don't panic!" The businessman's head was getting bigger from the quarrel, and he said loudly: "There is nothing to panic! There are 5,000 defenders in the castle. Did the defense of a thousand men come in and burn, kill and loot?"

"Furthermore... even if that Earl Reiner fights in! Who can be sure that he will definitely massacre the city? You have to know why he defeated Earl Zhebo? I don't believe that he won't be tempted by a city as prosperous as Mecaron! "

After being reassured, the flustered businessman finally calmed down, patted his chest and said with an embarrassed smile: "Hey... Aren't I too worried... That's right... That Earl Reiner didn't The reason why you are not interested in Mecaron City..."

Under such a panic situation, any news of suspected intelligence would spread very quickly.

The aunts with nothing to do, gangs of hooligans, and those who hand in hand on the city wall, they are the best carriers of gossip, and countless gossips are circulated in the castle.

"Have you heard..." A middle-aged woman said to another woman she knew with a vegetable basket.

"What?"

"I heard... that Earl Leiner is a kind man! He didn't come to Mecaron to slaughter and rob, but to bring this place under his rule. He will treat us kindly!" The middle-aged woman whispered talking.

"Ah? Who did you hear? Is this true?" The other woman was a little skeptical when she heard this. She had heard too many versions of the rumors, not to mention that Sir Fata also mentioned Earl Rainer. Is the most cruel demon.

"You still don't believe me, I told you because of the best relationship between you and me!" The woman said, "One of my nephews lives in Fort Morland, he is a soldier in Earl Rainer's army, I heard from him that Earl Rainer is very kind to his residents, not only is the tax not heavy, but he also cares about the lives of the residents!"

"you say,

Can such a lord be compared to our Earl Zhebo who only knows how to collect taxes and expand the army all day long? "The woman said incessantly.

"Really! That would be great..."

"Remember! Don't tell anyone!"

"Don't worry, I remember!"

In fact, it is better to believe that sows can climb trees than to believe that these middle-aged women have strict mouths. Many times, rumors are spread in this way, and they will be amplified and exaggerated during the spread.

As the saying goes, the creative ability of the working people is the strongest, and countless excellent stories often come from the folk.

The rumor spread until the end that it was completely unmasked. Earl Reiner was the envoy sent by the Holy Father to save the world. Reiner's territory does not collect taxes at all, and there is bread and butter that is ignored. The Merland family is amiable. people.

It spread to the end and even exceeded the control of the spies.

That's right, such rumors were spread by the spies. Although it was difficult for them to communicate with Leiner outside the city because the city gate was closed, they also played their role.

March 2nd, twenty-three years of the empire.

Leiner had besieged Mecaron City for three full days, and he keenly felt that the guards on the city wall were starting to look chaotic and their morale was low.

He narrowed his eyes and watched the situation on the city wall, carefully thinking about any possibilities.

With a long sigh, he still couldn't find any good solution.

There are really too many defenders on the city wall. There are 5,000 people, even if they are all mobs, they cannot be conquered by the troops he has now.

The only thing he can do now is to surround the three and one and try to persuade them to surrender.

However, enclosing three and missing one is useless, because the castles in this world have only one exit, which is required to enter and exit, and Mecaron City, as a commercial city, only has two gates, which cannot make the castle Those inside sensed a chance of escape.

"Send letters to the city to persuade you to surrender! Try to destroy the opponent's fighting spirit!"

Reiner can only do this, but speaking of it, he is not worried that the logistics supplies will not be able to keep up. Two thousand of the thousands of residents of Fort Moreland have already participated in the transportation. There is no need to worry about logistics in the year after the siege.

Another seven days passed.

The army still practiced step by step for a short time, and then squatted in the tent waiting for Reiner's order, and his vassals also began to drink drunkenly, day after day, almost upside down.

Reiner was standing under the city of Mecaron. At this time, he was fully prepared. Dozens of ladders had already been delivered from Fort Morland. As for the well...that thing is still high-end and won't be built for the time being.

He was staring impatiently, the ten-day siege had already worn out his heart.

He directly forcibly pulled the vassals up from the bed, and ordered all the soldiers to gather and prepare to attack the city.

"Remember!" Leiner shouted to the assembled soldiers, he never let go of this kind of thing of showing his face in front of the soldiers, he wanted the soldiers to have a clear understanding of themselves, knowing that they would For whom to die.

"You must shout when you are attacking the city! If those who surrender will not die, the enemies inside will probably give up resisting you, and you will be very safe!"

After confirming that every soldier was conveyed, Leiner completely started the siege operation.

Dozens of ladders have been set up on the eight-meter-high city wall of Mecaron City, which is one meter higher than Moland Castle.

Next, the Scarlet Griffin Knights took the lead, followed by the knights, and the sergeants and armed soldiers followed behind them, while the archers and Vettel crossbowmen suppressed the enemy's arrow tower below the castle.

Leiner intends to make a wave, trying to use strong force to break the enemy's confidence, and then minimize the loss, and conquer the castle as soon as possible.

"Those who surrender will not die!"

Such words roared loudly in the besieged Morland County.

Who knew that the defenders who heard such words dropped their weapons and knelt down on the ground when the soldiers were not on the city wall.

When Sir Valas led the Scarlet Griffin Knights up to the city wall, he was stunned.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay. Although they couldn't see each other's expressions under the helmet's package, they could all feel that the other party was beeping the dog just like themselves.

The army of 5,000 citizens was like dominoes. Wherever Reiner's army went, May Day did not throw away their weapons and fall to their knees.

All they need to do is to kill more than 20 soldiers in charge of supervision. In fact, several soldiers have already been killed by the citizens...

In this way, in just twenty minutes, Leiner's army took down the city wall of Mecaron City without bloodshed.
