Black Iron Crown

Chapter 272 The North with Shrinking Business

Soon, the soldiers followed Leyland's order and rushed into the castle.

There was almost no resistance along the way. When the male servants saw the wolf-like army rushing up with shining swords, they threw away their things and hid everywhere, like rats crossing the street.

The maids found a place to squat down, trembling with their heads buried, like ostriches that stuck their heads in the sand when they encountered danger.

Some soldiers and knights saw the enemy rushing in and wanted to draw out their long swords to resist, but no matter how they were military opponents, they were chopped into meat in two or three strokes, and twitched weakly under their boots.

It's messed up, it's all messed up.

The entire Twarinburg was completely in chaos, countless soldiers shouted and resisted, and the servants hurriedly left this dangerous place after looking for valuables and wanting to take them.

The maids seemed to have gone crazy, and when they saw the soldiers, they could only let out a shrill scream, which attracted some impatient soldiers to go up with a sword.

Blood, panic, and chaos became the main tone in Fort Twarin at this time. Along the way, the sergeants killed everyone they saw, and blood dripped all over the ground. It was not until an hour later that the season arrived in the lord's hall again.

Earl Tewarin's three sons were also tied up and detained.

Sir Ryland looked at the ruined castle, stroked the beard on his chin and said: "We will continue to attack, the castle of Earl Twarin's vassal is not yet under our control, I will completely destroy it within three days. Take it down and present it to the Earl!"

The morning of April 27th in the twenty-three years of the empire.

Baron Ryland led the army back to Mecaron City.

Although it seems that the number of people has not left much, but they are proud and arrogant, and they can be seen at a glance. This is an army that has returned from victory.

Although it didn't have much to do with him, the citizens still celebrated spontaneously.

They feel honored that they live under the rule of a powerful earl.

Since the vassals were not relied upon to obtain Twarinburg, there was no need to distribute it to them, so the area was completely owned by Reiner.

It is worth mentioning that in the past few days, Reiner has conferred the title of three barons sporadically. They are all highly respected and wealthy figures in the Murland family.

In addition, there are twelve other family members who are farther related by blood, but all belong to the paternal line of the Merland family. They entered Reiner's court and began to serve as retinues. Reiner planned to train them as his own knights.

Not only them, but the knights of Moreland County also received rewards from Leiner, and the fiefs reached two villages or more. The Scarlet Griffon knights also got their own fiefs.

Standing on an open terrace at the highest point of the main castle, Reiner grasped the railing on the rooftop and looked down.

The cold wind in winter became more and more crazy in the heights, blowing vigorously and making sounds like the whimpering of a devil in the dark night.

His thin blond hair was blown up and down and shook violently, his cheeks and nose were a little red from the cold. Although winter was coming to an end, he was also the coldest soldier in the whole winter.

Unwilling to be chased away by Xia Tian just like this, this icy monster in winter tried hard to let out the last bit of coldness in his body.

Although the weather was cold, Lena didn't care.

On the contrary, standing on the top of the 18-meter-high castle, he felt an inexplicable ambition spontaneously.

Looking at the gradually recovering city in front of us, residents shuttle back and forth on the streets one by one. Looking up, there is a large piece of fertile but snow-covered farmland outside the city. Wrapped in a dense forest like a fairy tale.

Countless outstanding talents have been bred on this enchanting and majestic land. Looking down at the land, Reiner suddenly felt a feeling of wanting to control such a land.

"The feeling of conquest..." Reiner stretched out his right hand to examine it carefully, then clenched it suddenly, and said in a low voice, "Very good..."

Back in his study room, Reiner felt that the ambition just now hadn't subsided, he covered his belittling cheeks that were red from the cold, put his hands next to the small brazier for a little warming, and sat back on the chair.

He picked up a dossier and began to look it up. This dossier was not a spy report sent by Logan, but some people in the city and territory signed and submitted by Sir Corder and the relatives of the Moreland family who served as the mayor of Mecaron City. Condition.

Sir Corder had been appointed by Reiner two days ago as the Prime Minister, and as an earl, he was qualified to set up his own court.

Things in Mecaron City are completely different from those in other places. Most of the matters submitted by Sir Corder in other areas are security issues or small disputes. Basically, Sir Corder will handle these matters according to Reiner's habits. Judging and reviewing, this is his right as the palace minister.

However, the situation in Mecaron City is much more complicated. According to the file, due to the previous war, the business in the city has shrunk, and all the merchants who originally came here to do business have fled here.

In addition, the local handicraft industry is not very developed, and a large number of them rely on transportation and sales of special products to make a living. The service industry such as taverns has also become withered due to the reduction of floating population, so the living income of the residents in the castle has dropped sharply.

In fact, Lai Anye felt it, because the water pumped up this month was only a mere 30 gold coins. Judging from Earl Zhebo's extravagant life in the past, 30 gold coins a month was obviously not enough.

Reiner was a little distressed about this, but he was not in a hurry. It is normal for the war to cause business to be wretched. After a while, those merchants who need goods from the northern border will return here.

"How much sugar do we have in stock now?"

Reiner asked Sir Corder who was called into the study.

As the palace minister, he is almost becoming Reiner's number one housekeeper, and he is always asked about these resources.

"It's already six hundred and forty kilograms, my lord!" Sir Corder came without thinking.

"Hmm..." Reiner nodded, and then said, "Very good...do we already have this kind of stock..."

Reiner squinted his eyes and tapped on the table lightly, and gradually buried his body on the large chair. The three-layer bearskin made the chair extremely soft and comfortable, and he simply loved this chair to death.

"Get ready! I plan to prepare a caravan..." Leiner was thinking in his heart, and at the same time he said slowly: "I want to sell all these candies to the interior of the empire, I believe those mainland lords will go crazy for it of!"

He frowned and paused, then said: "Besides... I might sell the leather too... Let's make a name first and do high-level business!"

"Take the honey, too, and the pine branches. Let's take the long sword captured on the battlefield too... Let's say it's a specialty of our northern border!"

Reiner thought about the special products of the northern border one by one, and added the products one by one.
