Black Iron Crown

"Mecaron City is a second-tier city, and it can be upgraded if it conforms to the upgrade standard"

The electronic sound of the system rang in Leiner's ears after a long absence, which was a bit beyond his expectation. He thought that a city as large and prosperous as Mecaron City should be at least a third-tier city, but he didn't expect that the system would This can only be regarded as a secondary city.

But Reiner understood the reason after thinking about it for a while.

Although Mecaron City has a large population, its defensive measures are not very good. Not only is the city wall only five meters high, it is far from towering, and there are no other auxiliary fortifications.

You know, even a first-class castle like Mollander Castle has a simple urn at the gate. Except for the main castle where the lord is located, the defense of this city is extremely poor. No wonder it was rated as a second-class castle. class.

"Lord, please choose the upgrade direction"

"Direction 1: Military Castle"

"Direction Two: Commercial City"

Reiner chose the second option without even thinking about it. After all, this is a very important commercial gathering place, and the entire northern border is only such a place. Not only is the location excellent, but it is stuck on the road connecting the north and the south, and there is a large population, so don't worry. Labor issues.

Naturally, Reiner would not be so reckless and turn it into a military castle with only military functions.

After Leiner made a choice, the same scene as the last upgrade reappeared, and time suddenly stopped, and Leiner could clearly feel that time had condensed into a solid.

The entire city of Mecaron suddenly emitted a burst of light, which looked extremely dazzling but soft, and did not make Reiner feel uncomfortable at all.

After a while, the light gradually disappeared, and the time returned to normal.

And after everything returned to normal, Reiner went outside to see what was different.

This look gave him a shock, the city has changed too much.

The most intuitive feeling is that Leiner's current position is much higher than it was just now. Before Leiner estimated that the height of the city's main castle was about 12 meters, now it has increased to at least 18 meters. Defense Capabilities are greatly increased.

Looking from a distance, the city wall is much higher than before. A rough estimate is that it is nearly eight meters high, which is already comparable to the first-class military castle, Fort Morland.

In addition, the space in the city has also become much wider. Due to the restrictions of the city wall, the houses and other buildings in the city would inevitably look a bit narrow when piled up.

But now, the city walls of this city have expanded a lot outwards. Reiner estimates that the circumference will be at least fifteen kilometers, and it is completely easy to accommodate 40,000 to 50,000 people.

As for other architectural aspects, there are not many changes, except that a large copper bell was added in front of the city's main castle to tell the time.

Reiner nodded. As expected, it is upgrading towards a commercial city. The main upgrading direction is still in terms of population security.

Just like the former Fort Murland, even if it is upgraded once, the extent of expansion is limited, but the height of the city wall and defensive measures have been greatly improved.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, May 1st, 23rd year of the Empire has arrived. It has been nearly a month since Reiner captured the city of Mecaron, and the residents in the city have also changed from panic at the beginning to The current security and order.

Groups of patrols patrolled the streets of the city non-stop to prevent security incidents from happening. In the five counties of Moreland, the 120 militiamen were still in training.

Reiner suffered a lot in previous wars, losing a full third of his armed soldiers, more than fifty Merland sergeants, three knights, five red guards, and fifteen blood-colored griffins. .

All the arms exchanged in the system can be exchanged with merit points, so Leiner has replenished them after spending some merit.

But these ordinary soldiers can't do this, and it's quite difficult to replenish after a batch of them die.

The militiamen who had been training before were not as lucky as the first batch. They just participated in a war without any sense of presence, and their combat experience was not rich. According to Reiner's estimation, it will take at least half a year before they can initially form combat effectiveness.

Shaking his head, the current situation of his territory is not optimistic. Due to the past two years of fighting, the life of the residents under his command has become extremely difficult, coupled with poor technology, so the output of the cultivated land is very little.

Therefore, what Leiner urgently needs now is a large number of excellent farm tools and the cultivation of a large amount of arable land, and all business development and the like must be ranked behind.

But Reiner does not intend to remain silent like this now, because there is still a large piece of land waiting to be harvested by him!

Earl Twarin was killed by himself in the previous war. According to the news reported to him by Logan, disputes have begun within Fort Twarin.

As more than a month has passed, the news of Earl Twarin's death has also spread to Fort Twarin, and the sons of Earl Twarin are wrangling over the ownership of the territory all day long.

Some gentry and small landowners were recruited one after another, and they were beaten to death for this territory. Although they still maintained a certain degree of restraint, there would always be small-scale fights.

Reiner narrowed his eyes and thought, "That is to say, Twarinburg is in extreme chaos now, and there won't be many defenders..."

"God help me too!" Reiner slapped the table and stood up, shouting to the guards outside the door: "Go and call Sir Vaxey, Baron Cod, Baron Wallas, and Baron Ryland come over!"

Although the three of them had been canonized as barons by Leiner, Leiner still kept them in the castle in order to allow them to serve him better.

They themselves are willing to do this, so after they got the territory, they just went to the territory to have a look and accepted the allegiance, then returned to Mecaron City and continued to serve Leiner.

Entering Reiner's study room, the four of them showed searching eyes at the same time.

Reiner put the document that Logan handed over to him on the desktop, and nodded to indicate that they could come and check it.

Baron Cod picked up the document and passed it on to the next person after reading it. After all four of them had read it, Reiner knocked on the table and said, "Twarinburg is already a mess! We just need a little With a little force, I can completely turn that place into my territory!"

Reiner paused for a moment, and then said: "I won't go this time, Baron Ryland will take the sergeants and soldiers, the archers will also bring along, and my knights will also be recruited, and you will be in charge of the army." Commander, Baron Valas, you will take your men to be responsible for the defense of Mecaron City!"

"Sir Vaxey, haven't you found a group of people to join your team during this time? Just go with Baron Ryland!"

After finishing speaking, Reiner turned his head to look at Baron Cod and said, "My uncle, you are responsible for the logistical support of this army, there is no need to mobilize your army, nor the troops of the vassals for the time being! "
