Black Iron Crown

Reiner really wants to say 10,000 sentences of Fake now. As an otaku in his previous life, his favorite thing to do is to do nothing and spend a whole day with nothing.

Although the situation in the empire is very tense, it is a winter that is not easy to travel. This year's snow is so thick that it is impossible to reclaim the cultivated land.

What's more, no one wants to go out in winter, so the probability of official business is much smaller. It has been a long time since he has encountered anything that needs to be handled by himself. He wished that such a comfortable time could last longer.

What's more, he has never been idle before. Occasionally he has to personally supervise the reclamation of cultivated land, and in addition to attending the hall on the territory.

Inspect the defense situation of castles in various places, check the accounts, check the list of things submitted by each village, listen to Logan report the news of various places to himself, inspect the training of soldiers, and conceive of business development plans.

And in the winter of the previous two years, he had been leading the army to fight against the Kraders. Last year, the group of Kraders were finally subdued. Before they had a few days to rest, the prairie people came again!

"Uh...we are not weak, Lord Earl, maybe it is because of our wealth that we have no peace every year!" Baron Corder was a little worried seeing Reiner's almost hysterical appearance, and he said to Reiner after some words.

"Huh...you continue to talk..." Reiner sat down heavily, propped his forehead with his hands, and waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.

"They have assembled a thousand cavalry and are raging in the territory of your southeastern vassals. Your vassals have organized an army and evacuated the residents into the castle. However, many residents and food have fallen into the grassland There are many hands!"

Sir Corder walked to Reiner's side and said: "Your vassals hope that you can protect their family and territory as they said when they swore their loyalty oath to you!"

Reiner licked his lips, nodded and said: "I understand, this is indeed my responsibility and obligation!"

After finishing speaking, he shouted towards the door: "Call me Baron Logan!"

After a while, Logan came to Reiner's room.

During this period of time, he has been relatively busy with his work. Reiner has brought the northern border into the scope of his rule, so his purpose and responsibility is to cover the entire intelligence network to all the lands under Reiner's rule.

However, this piece of land is so vast and huge, it is still quite difficult to control everything in detail like before.

"Is it because of the invasion of the eastern prairie people, my lord?" Logan saluted Reiner humbly and asked.

"You know about this?" Reiner raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said tightly to the nightgown on his body.

"Yes, Earl, as your eyes and ears, my accusation is to provide you with information. Wouldn't it be useless if I didn't even know about this kind of thing?" Logan lowered his head and showed the most humble smile.

In fact, Logan has dispatched some spies to every region in the northern border, especially those vassal territories. Although the density is not enough, some simple information acquisition can still be done.

In addition, he uses carrier pigeons to transmit long-distance messages, so the transmission is much faster than war horses.

If it wasn't for the blizzards that have been falling these days, Logan should have gotten the news earlier than Baron Cod.

Lena nodded and said, "I need to get information about those prairie people. I hope you can find out all about their current situation!"

Reiner didn't ask Logan what the prairie people were like right away, because he knew that it would be very difficult to ensure intelligence control over the northern border, and even Logan probably didn't know what the prairie people were.

What's more, these nomads didn't have any intersection with Leiner at all before, and they weren't very interested, so Logan probably didn't pay attention.

Logan nodded and exited the room.

Reiner looked at Baron Cod, and said: "My uncle, I hope you can cooperate with Aizexi to prepare all the food and logistical materials needed for the army to fight. Go out!"

"Also... have the armors of the recruits been built?" Leiner plans to let those recruits who are undergoing training also go to the battlefield. It is impossible to become a real elite by always struggling on the training ground. .

"The full-body chain armor and leather armor are ready, but there are still 1,200 pieces of simple armor that are missing. You know we never thought of sending them to the battlefield so early!" said Baron Cod.

Lena nodded and said: "It's okay, the simple armor will be distributed to the top 800 recruits with training results, and the rest will fight in leather armor and full-body chain armor!"

After Baron Corder left, Reiner asked the two little maids to change his clothes.

Although Reiner's current ruling officials are still not enough, their execution ability is not much worse. Many citizens were hired to carry them, and finally enough food, tent firewood and other materials were loaded onto the carriage.

After four months, there were already more than 200 strong draft horses, that is, more than 200 carriages that could carry more than one ton, which was more than enough to transport these grains.

In just a dozen days, everything was ready. All the soldiers were assigned armor, armed with weapons and began to assemble. The sergeants also temporarily put down their patrol tasks.

Sir Valas was overjoyed because he finally got rid of his position as the captain of the city patrol. He led the thirty blood-colored griffin knights and 120 blood-colored griffins under his command to start the battle. Actively prepared, ready to follow Lena at any time.

On January 20th, the twenty-fourth year of the empire, Leiner once again stood on the roof of the highest part of the main castle and looked at the distant scenery. The cold wind, which was no different from a sharp knife, hurt his chain armor, so he waited After a while they left.

It seems that rest is impossible. The third winter that he traveled through is probably destined to be spent in the war again. He feels as if he has been kidnapped. The carefree and aristocratic life he imagined at the beginning has not appeared at all. On the contrary, he is busier than in his previous life...

Reluctantly accepted this, Reiner put on the armor and leather armor with the help of two little maids, and then Sarang helped him put on the full body chain armor and gauntlets, and the outer layer of simple armor.

After putting on the armor, Reiner led Sarang out of the castle and walked towards the central open space in front of the main castle. He wanted to fulfill his duties as a lord.

Turning on the horse, what greets the eyes is thousands of valiant and powerful troops.

The number of sergeants had already reached 360, and Leiner felt that it was time to add another rank.

Although they have carried out patrol missions for several months, their aura is still so sturdy and their bodies are as strong as ever. Even under such a cold wind, they still maintain a formation like cast steel, which is unparalleled strict military discipline.

Looking around, the Scarlet Griffin Knight was mighty, the sergeants were orderly, the two thousand recruits looked so energetic, and the light cavalry were cheering and cheering one by one, frivolous but disciplined.

The archers and crossbowmen Reiner haven't had time to expand, so the scale is slightly smaller, not to mention the Golden Lion Guard...the number is even smaller.

The size of his knights is going to be much larger. Reiner selected fifty knights in the previous competitive meeting, and ten of them have already obtained the fief after two months of investigation.

But this does not mean that Reiner trusts them as much as he trusted the former Moreland knights. Before they played for Reiner for three to five years and had a family and children here, Reiner could not give them enough trust.

The remaining forty people did not get the fief, but Leiner promised that they would all get the fief within two years.
