Black Iron Crown

The morning of April 20th in the 23rd year of the Empire.

Mecaron City has recovered from the previous war, and under the protection of Lena, the residents have not been harmed. It took another month for all the citizens living here to recover. As it is, and at the same time accepting that its owner has changed.

The upgraded main castle of Mecaron City is covered in white snow, and it looks so majestic in this snow-covered and silver-clad world, just like an indestructible fortress in a heroic epic.

The troops under Leiner's command continued to gather towards the city of Mecaron from Fort Moreland and other old places, and groups of uniform and mighty soldiers, armed with knives and guns, flowed into the city of Mecaron like streams of streams.

In order to control the entire huge territory before, Leiner divided his trapped opponents into small teams and asked them to garrison each castle. Even so, it is impossible to have troops garrisoned in every castle.

At this time, the warehouses in Leiner's Mecaron City were already full of gold and silver treasures. In the previous wars, Leiner had searched almost every castle by scratching the ground.

The accumulation of hundreds of families over the years can be imagined. Although there are not many simple gold coins, there are definitely a lot of other properties. If they are all sold, they can sell at least seven to eight thousand gold coins.

And this is not counting the spoils on the battlefield, even if a portion is distributed to the vassals, some to the knights, and some to the soldiers, Leiner himself only takes 40%, and there are more than 800 sets of chain armor.

And there wasn't a lot of damage here, because Leiner was in a state of sneak attack at the time, and the enemy soldiers were hacked and killed by his army before they had time to put on their armor. Among the four hundred sets of full-body chain armor and the four hundred sets of half-body chain armor, the largest Portions are intact.

If these are sold to the royal family, it will definitely be another big windfall.

Putting these aside for the time being, although he has now brought the entire territory under his control, it is such a huge territory after all, and it is obviously unrealistic to be as flexible as he was in Fort Moreland.

His current military strength can't do this at all. Although the relatives of the Moland family have started to manage each village one after another, there are still some problems.

For example, before Lena killed a group of knights who were then exiled, some of them were unwilling to leave here, and even after losing their fiefs, they still did evil here, and even relied on force that Celina's garrison could not take care of. Local people robbed houses.

Reiner knows all these things, but he can't do anything about them for the time being. The only thing he can do now is to benefit him the most.

It is to bring Twarinburg, which has an area of ​​80,000 square kilometers, into its own rule.

In five days, the teams stationed in various regions regrouped in Mecaron City.

The main castle is located in the center of Mecaron City, and such a city will have a relatively large central square in the center, as a gathering place for the leaders to announce the law, or to execute someone in public.

Now, this place has become the assembly point of the army.

Many residents came to the center of the city when they had nothing to do and began to quietly watch these meticulous and well-formed troops.

"Tsk tsk tsk... The Earl's army is so beautiful, no wonder he was able to defeat the previous Earl Zhebo!"

"Yeah... I don't know when the Earl is going to conscript. I heard from those military masters who come to my store to buy things, their salary is as much as five coppers a month!"

"Five coppers!"

The people around immediately exclaimed when they heard the words, five coppers is definitely not a small amount, even in a big city like Mecaron City, it is definitely a high salary.

"That's right! You know that my son has practiced riding and archery since he was a child. I also sold the 300 acres of land my grandfather left me and bought him a horse and a sword. When the Earl conscripts, I will Just send him in..."

The citizen's clothes looked more decent, and he seemed to be a well-off man. Otherwise, a war horse would cost at least five gold coins, which ordinary people would not be able to afford after ten lifetimes of hard work!

But even so, after paying such a price, his face could not help showing a look of heartache.

Some children shuttled back and forth between the legs of the people, looking at the tall and strong soldiers who looked like beasts in human form, they gave bursts of amazement.

Reiner stood on the height of the castle, looking at the situation below through a small window in the middle of the study.

The more he looked at these armies, the more he felt proud. Not to mention the sergeants who exuded a fierce aura all over their bodies, just by looking at those ordinary soldiers, he could feel the fighting power contained in their bodies under the armor.

After a month, the citizens had a great impression of these soldiers who spoke fiercely but treated them kindly, so when they left the castle under the leadership of Baron Ryland, everyone gave them a warm farewell and looked forward to So that they can return in triumph.

The soldiers went all the way south, and after two days they finally reached the outer wall of Twarinburg.

"My lord, we have arrived!"

Baron Leyland stretched out his hand and built a pergola on his forehead. Looking at the closed castle gate and the towering arrow tower on the city wall, he shook his head involuntarily.

He thought to himself: "It seems that Logan's information is not wrong at all, because the succession rights of the territory have been messed up like this? Even the guard soldiers are not arranged!"

That's right, there wasn't even a single soldier on the towering arrow tower of Fort Twarinburg, and the whole castle looked lifeless.

With a sneer at the corner of his mouth, Baron Leyland waved his hand and said to the attendants beside him: "Command down, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and immediately set up all the ladders! We have to climb the city wall quietly!"

Although he despises Earl Tewarin's useless sons very much in his heart, he has always been cautious and never pushes too hard, and will do his best no matter what he does.

The soldiers lowered their voices cautiously, and put the ladders on the edge of the city wall one by one.

"Let's attack the city! Remember to keep your voice down, so as not to be discovered by the enemy!" Baron Ryland said.

Just like that, the soldiers jumped onto the city wall without encountering any resistance. When all the troops reached the city wall, Baron Ryland also climbed up and walked into the interior of the castle along the steps of the city wall.

"who!"

When they got here, someone finally found them. The guard at the gate of the main castle shouted loudly when they saw them, then pulled out the long sword at his waist, and shouted into the open gate: "Enemy attack! The enemy is coming! "

However, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sharp sound, and then he turned into a hedgehog, with his body full of crossbow bolts, at least no less than twenty.

Sir Leyland looked at the gate of the main castle that had not been closed, lamented the laxness of the opponent's guard, and shouted to the soldiers under his command: "Now! Let me rush in! Destroy all enemies!"
