Black Iron Crown

In order to protect his headquarters, Morsh set up the camp five kilometers away from Leiner's side, just to prevent Leiner from sending troops to directly attack his headquarters.

The sentinel cavalry from both sides kept going back and forth for the five kilometers to check each other's positions. From time to time, there would be some small-scale battles, and the low-intensity battles almost never stopped.

Seeing the smoke that was about to hit his own camp, Reiner frowned, and immediately called Tilihan.

"Take people to patrol at all times to prevent the enemy from approaching!"

To be honest, Leiner is really not afraid of the enemy cavalry coming up in such a mindless manner. His camp has complete protection, wooden fences and obstacles everywhere, which are not easy for the enemy's light cavalry to deal with.

If the enemy really rushes up, Leiner can just beat the dog in the water near his camp and take advantage of his powerful infantry.

Tillihan immediately took orders to go on patrol with his men.

The ones who worked the most along the way were the cavalry archers under Tillihan's command. Due to their superb mobility and strong endurance, they led countless small-scale battles.

Along the way, I have accumulated a lot of military exploits.

At this time, Samuza also saw the cloud of smoke that covered the sky and the sun, which inevitably reminded him of the desperate and desolate state of mind when he was beaten in the fiasco last fall.

His face was gloomy, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, and hatred flashed in his eyes.

"I will definitely win back... Definitely!"

Samuza found Rainer: "Lord Earl, it seems that the enemy's large force has arrived. Are we going to have a decisive battle with the enemy now?"

"Hmm... the day of the decisive battle is not far away, let's see what Morsh thinks now!" Reiner pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"How about this, my lord earl, how about I ask my people to meet with Morsh directly and agree on a date for the decisive battle?"

In the past, it was very simple for the grassland people to go to war, that is, to lead troops directly to your tribal camp.

Morsh had also tried to directly attack Leiner's camp before, but they had just rushed to the vicinity of Leiner's camp, and the erected fence blocked them.

The loud shouts of the sentinels attracted more soldiers, and they couldn't use the impact of the horses to rush in to fight, so Morsh had to give up this tactic.

Samuza also knew this, so he was going to follow the tradition of the Ridka people and make a date.

Reiner nodded and said, "If it's possible... I'd like to do it!"

Although one's own camp is a good fortification, it is not a solution if the enemy keeps confronting oneself like this.

Not to mention the consumption of food, he is not worried about food.

What he cares about is the opinions of his vassals. The vassals have already hated this long march and small-scale battles, and he knows this.

If you can't fight a hearty victory as soon as possible, then the prestige you have accumulated among these vassals in the past may be lost.

And Samuza's worry Lai'an also knows,

In just over a month, they have lost nearly 20% of their cattle and sheep. If they drag on, their entire shortage will be unsustainable.

This is especially the case with Morsh. The borrowed ones don't always require the headquarters to provide logistics. More than 5,000 people eat horse chews, which consumes a lot of money. Therefore, a quick battle must be hoped by both sides.

Samuza sent two messengers to convey his idea of ​​wanting to fight, and Morsh had long wanted to end the war as soon as possible.

It's just that Lena's camp is almost a tortoise shell to him, and he doesn't even think about breaking it without paying a huge price, so he can only sigh in despair.

The two sides agreed to hold the final decisive battle on June 28th, the twenty-fourth day of the empire, that is, four days later.

And the news that Leiner accepted a prairie man as a vassal and wanted to help his vassal against Morsh, who had the support of the Agul Ministry, also spread.

With the arrival of spring, the snow that blocked the roads melted, and merchants from the interior of the empire rushed here for the high-quality fur, wood and turpentine in the north.

And when they bought goods, these gossips naturally spread into their ears.

With the flow of merchants, this news also spread from Beijing to the interior of the empire, almost without any fermentation. As soon as this news spread, it completely detonated all levels of the empire in panic.

"What did you say? Earl Reiner is going to fight the Arguer tribe?" Earl Redmara immediately put down the precious glass of wine in his hand after hearing the news, frowning with a dignified expression.

"Uh... yes, Lord Earl, this is the news in early May. It was not long after we learned about it. Now it has spread throughout the entire area directly under the royal family, and it is still spreading to other areas at an extremely fast speed!"

The spy chief who served Earl Redmara bowed his head and said.

Count Redmara closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose with his right hand.

In fact, Reiner had already been given up by him. After he knew that Reiner had some contact with Grand Duke Mabula, he knew that this distant branch of the royal family probably could not be used by him.

He is not a narrow-minded person, and he does not interrupt Daji's revenge against Reiner. Anyway, one is just a distant branch of the royal family, so what if the strength is strong?

He didn't know what he was hiding. Didn't he want to provide steel and armor for the empire?

But now, he felt different.

This Earl Rainer is simply a troublemaker!

Agul Department! What kind of tribe is that?

At the beginning, the main target of Emperor Kaffit's eastern expedition was the Agul tribe and several other tribes.

Now the empire is full of internal troubles, and there are large-scale rebellions in both the south and the west. The royal family has already allocated half of its troops to the two fronts to suppress it. What if we offend the Agul tribe at this time and let them take advantage of it?

Earl Redmara opened his eyes and said to his spy chief: "Tell the queen the news immediately and ask him to hold a routine court meeting. We must push this matter to Earl Rainer as much as possible." Go to him, and draw a clear line with him first!"

However, before the regular court meeting had time to be held, the news that Leiner was going to fight the Agul Ministry had already sparked a heated debate.

"Have you heard? That Earl Rainer from the north is going to fight the Agur tribe!"

"Ah? The Agul Department was the chief culprit who caused the old emperor to be bedridden three years ago! Even the old emperor suffered such a big loss at their hands, so can the Earl of the Northern Territory win?"

"I definitely can't win! I heard that the earl in the background is only seventeen years old this year. It should be because he is too young to pay attention to anyone. I am afraid that the Agur tribe will turn their anger on the empire after eliminating the earl of the northern border... ..."

The gossip skills of these civilian women are the most exquisite. There are various versions and conjectures about the cause of the war for a while, but there is only one conjecture to take over, and that is that Earl Rainer is unlikely to win no matter what. ...
