Black Iron Crown

At the same time, Reiner also has his own thinking. Even if Samuza's brother has joined the big tribe, why does that big tribe support his brother to seize power instead of directly sending troops to snatch it?

The reason is nothing more than that there are external enemies who cannot focus their energy here, or there are internal disputes, and there is no way to go all out, or there are other things that hold them back, or people simply don't like this area. Cold and barren land.

No matter what the reason is, Reiner is sure that he can help Prince Samuza regain the land without facing the powerful tribe.

Next, Prince Samuza knelt down under the notice of the interpreter, and followed the interpreter to swear an oath of loyalty to Leiner, and then Leiner slapped him three times with the long sword on the shoulder, which was considered complete took an oath.

Later, Reiner put Prince Samuza back.

He is a smart man, he knows that once he turns his back on the water, he will face a fatal blow again, and now all his hopes are pinned on Lena.

Therefore, he obediently sent one-fifth of the cattle and sheep to Rainer as promised, that is, 4,500 cattle and 12,300 sheep.

For a large tribe entrenched in the northern part of the grassland, this was already the limit of what they could come up with.

However, after paying so many cattle and sheep, it means that many people will not survive this winter and die in this cold season.

However, Reiner doesn't care about this point. The entire Pakuten tribe's 50,000 is already an extremely large number. As an agricultural society, Reiner's territory is only 170,000 people, and there are more than 50,000 of them as a nomad. The numbers inevitably made Reiner uneasy.

Anyway, even if you paid too much cattle and sheep, according to the urination of nomads, the people who starved to death in the end were often old and weak. At that time, the troops that Prince Samuza could provide for himself would not decrease.

I can get a lot of benefits, so why not do it?

So, after waiting for more than half a month in Fort Samuen, the 4,500 cattle and 12,300 sheep promised by Samuza finally arrived.

Outside the entire Fort Samun, there are already large herds of cattle and sheep.

For a while, the whole castle stinks, however, no one complains about it.

These vassals were unhappy when they heard Lena say that they would support Prince Samuza at first, but after seeing the endless cattle and sheep,

The eyes are almost on the verge of glowing.

"My master, I have brought you the cattle and sheep. I hope you can provide some food so that I can feed my people..."

Prince Samuza spoke in a low voice, and the interpreter conveyed his meaning to Lena.

He has completely succumbed, there is no way, the situation is stronger than people.

He couldn't show any disrespect to Reiner anyway, because that would cost him everything.

Reiner raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said, "Unfortunately, Samuza, I can only give you fifty tons of food as aid, because I don't have much food in my hand for this war, I hope you can use it The way you nomads used to do, bring your tribe to persevere!"

Reiner shamelessly rejected Samuza's request. There are still 100,000 tons of grain piled up in his warehouse, but he is only willing to pay 50 tons of grain to his vassals...

Prince Samuza was very disappointed when he heard the news, fifty tons of grain... This is only enough for everyone in the tribe to eat for a day...

But there is no way, before defeating his brother, his only hope is Lena, and he can't have any dissatisfaction.

After sending away Samuza, Reiner asked people to count the cattle and sheep, and divided them into two equally.

"Baron Azak, you have spent a lot of miles for me in the past battles, and I will give you 200 of the 2,250 cattle, and 550 of the 6,150 sheep. I'll give you the first share!"

Reiner began to reward meritorious deeds, and Baron Azak, as a staunch supporter of Reiner, got the biggest share.

The rest of Reiner was distributed according to their relatives. The order of how many times they were Baron Azak, Baron Cod, Baron Valas, and Baron Reyland. These were those who followed Reiner before and were later entrusted as nobles. vassal.

The latter are the other vassals. Apart from them, Bantes has got more cattle and sheep. His father lost his life because of his loyalty to Leiner, and Leiner had to express it.

He is now also a powerful baron with the original two baronies.

After allocating these, Leiner took the remaining 2,250 cows and 6,150 sheep to his territory regardless of the complaints of some vassals.

"My Holy Father! Look what that is!"

A resident looked up when he was repairing his own fence, and suddenly found a white torrent with no visible edge in the distance.

His exclamation alarmed the neighbor next door. His neighbor thought he was in some danger, so he covered himself in fur and rushed out with an iron dung fork.

"Oh my God...that's sheep! A flock of sheep! I've never seen so many in my life...one...two...no, I can't count!" His neighbor also tweeted exclaimed.

The torrent was getting closer and closer, and the villagers all stepped out of their houses to see this rare scene.

And when a red flag appeared on the horizon, they finally understood what was going on.

"It's the Earl! The Earl is back!"

The residents cheered and shouted loudly as they watched the army gradually appearing in front of them.

To be able to live in a prosperous earldom is an honor and joy for these residents.

Tilihan is very uncomfortable now, because she and his cavalry archers have to take care of the old nomads, that is... sheep herding.

As expected of the top arm of the Kujit Khanate, even the grazing skills are so superb. Driven by them, these sheep are very obedient and follow Leiner's marching route without any error.

When they came close to the village, these residents ran to the side of the road to cheer and took off their hats to pay tribute to Reiner.

"Long live the Earl!"

"Your Earl is invincible!"

"Master Earl! Let my boy join your army!"

"..."

go away! Is your kid old enough?

Reiner smiled and waved hello to the group of residents. For this feeling of being loved by everyone... Reiner felt quite happy.

Along the way, most of the situation was like this. After seeing Leiner's triumphant return, the residents all lined up to welcome him.

Leiner escorted these cattle and sheep to the north of Fort Moreland. There is a 15-square-kilometer pasture there. Although the space may not be enough, Leiner also planted 500,000 mu of alfalfa last year.

There is no need to stock them like nomads. Leiner is a farming civilization, so direct captivity is the kingly way!

For a while, the news of Leiner's victory once again spread throughout the northern border, and the title of earl of the northerners was completely branded on Leiner's body.
