Black Iron Crown

Earl Wesley was leisurely stationing his army on the plain at this time, because this time it was necessary to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, so Earl Wesley specially prohibited the accompanying merchants and other people who slowed down the marching speed.

This makes the entire army look much refreshed.

The fighting power of the royal family's army has not degraded so badly. Although the empire has been at peace for a long time, the main force of the royal family and a small part of the vassal army will still fight, such as the Eastern Expedition that injured the emperor three years ago.

Earl Weasley himself fought many battles in the Unification War, not to mention being compared with the Duke Raven who died young, but at least he was also a victorious general in the royal family.

The entire camp was well arranged, with a wooden fence at the outermost edge, and a trench was dug around the entire camp. The tents were also arranged in all directions, making it extremely convenient to dispatch troops.

The current camp is full of hustle and bustle, today is the date for the two sides to fight, and the soldiers are putting on armor for themselves.

The knights no longer looked as embarrassed as when they were ambushed before. They were all in armor, and the horses also had a layer of chain armor on top.

Except for the archers who mostly wore armed clothing or leather armor, the entire army was armored.

The royal family still attaches great importance to this counter-insurgency war.

Because if even such a rebellion cannot be suppressed, then the lords everywhere will definitely think that the royal family is weak, and then there will be wars everywhere.

Therefore, most of the items purchased from Lehner, together with some of the royal family's own inventory, were used in this batch of troops.

These soldiers were covered in armor and formed a simple queue. Under the leadership of Earl Wesley, they slowly walked out of the camp and headed towards the battle site.

At this time, Reiner was full of worries. The royal family held continuous banquets in the past few days, and many nobles went to eat and drink at different times.

Lena just sits there all day long.

Because he found that he knew too little about the situation between the imperial family and the lords of various places.

In any case, he needs to understand the current specific situation before making the next move.

Although he doesn't want the royal family to really suppress everything and restore peace, it is not something he can bear if the royal family is really in chaos and wiped out.

smooth,

What he needs now is a smooth development time.

Although his current territory is large, it has not yet reached the point where he can transform the entire territory into strength.

The number of officials is insufficient, and the residents have not yet reached a point of great support for Reiner's rule. All he can do now is to collect taxes and recruit troops on this vast land, that's all.

Some basic construction and farmland reclamation, as well as the control over the village, he is still unable to achieve.

There has been a saying in China since ancient times that the imperial power should not go to the countryside.

Except for some villages where officials and members of the Moreland family have been dispatched, Lena can reach the point where the imperial power goes to the countryside, and other areas still need to be improved.

If the royal family collapses before all of this is achieved, and there is no such a big tree to shelter itself from the wind and rain, other lords must be out of greed for such a vast territory, or out of greed. Na will also be the target of public criticism.

This is also the reason why he kept quiet about the adulterous affair between the queen and Earl Redmara, and the true identity of the prince. What he wanted was a stable royal family to provide himself with a breeding ground for development.

Holding a wine glass in his hand, Reiner sipped the black wine that was produced in the south but became more precious because the southern lords blocked the trade routes. At the same time, he listened to the conversations between these lords.

Some of the information they revealed inadvertently was very useful to Reiner.

"What do you think of Earl Weasley's expedition?" A tall nobleman casually said to the person beside him, holding a piece of grilled crispy lamb chops in his hand.

"What else can we think? The royal family is different from us. No matter how loyal we are, we are incomparable with those real royal family members. Such a good thing can only be their turn, so don't think about it!"

The nobleman shook his head, took a sip of the wine in the glass and said helplessly.

"That's right... such a good job was given to Earl Wesley in the end, as expected, he was still a member of the royal family. Didn't Earl Redmara also fight for it at that time? Didn't he give it to Earl Wesley!"

The two were chatting with each other, Leiner raised his eyebrows curiously, so leading the army to suppress the rebellion has become a good job? Not to mention the loss of one's own manpower, it is difficult to obtain any substantial benefits, and even this is to be fought for?

It is normal for members of the royal family to counter the rebellion, after all, to maintain the rule.

But when did these mercenary lords become so loyal? Want to take the initiative to ask Ying to counter the rebellion?

Lena decided to ask.

"Hi, you two!" Reiner walked up to the two people who were talking with a glass of wine, and greeted them with a smile.

"Ah, it turned out to be Earl Rainer, congratulations on unifying the Northern Territory!"

The two nobles also had some impressions of Leiner, the new Lord of the Northern Territory. The royal family had introduced him to Leiner when he came to the imperial capital.

"Uh...thank you, I heard you say that the royal family is very eccentric? But why do I think counterinsurgency is a hard job? Does such a job still need to be fought for?" Reiner raised his glass and said with a smile.

"Hey, you don't know anything in the north, Earl Rainer!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then said: "Although you are a royal family, you are also distant relatives, so I am not afraid to tell you!"

"Putting down the Fort Creek rebellion is a rare and good job. Those southerners spend little time fighting, and their favorite thing is doing business, so the army is very weak, and those of us in the north..."

"Although it is not as northern as you, but compared to us, we are also northerners. The people on our side are naturally stronger, and because they are close to your territory, they have full armor. They are much better at fighting than those southerners! "

"Not only can this kind of rebellion be put down easily, not to mention the feats and honors, that area is also a rare prosperous area, and there are many benefits to be gained there. Do you think we can not fight for this kind of errand? "

The two lords looked at Lena and said with a smile: "You still don't understand the current situation in the imperial capital, the southerners and the barbarians are nothing!"

"Ahaha... Is that so? I'm really ignorant!" Reiner smiled and clinked glasses with the two.

He didn't expect the other party to tell such a hidden thing. It seems that his status as a member of the royal family is really useless. If he is a real close member of the royal family, would they dare to say such a thing?

Sitting back in his seat, Reiner thought carefully in his heart.

"What these two people said has some truth... but it's not completely believable!"

Lehner still has his own judgment. Although these two people say that the empire is still stable, this may not be the case.
