Black Iron Crown

After hearing what Earl Jollal said, the guards on the city wall hesitated.

His duty is to stick to Twarinburg and resolutely prevent anyone from entering the northern border during the Lord Earl's expedition.

"But..." the guard said: "Please forgive my lord! I know you have a noble status, but the order I received is to stick to Twarinburg and not allow anyone to approach during the lord earl's expedition!"

Though the guard spoke with great humility, he angered the irascible lord Count Choral.

He said angrily: "Damn pig! Can't you see the pattern on my flag? This is the same as the flag on your city wall! If you don't let me in, I will drag out your intestines and stuff it into your mouth!"

The more he said this, the more hesitant the guard became. He showed embarrassment. Although he was scolded, the other party was a nobleman after all, so he didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction.

However, although he was afraid in his heart, he still chose to abide by the Earl's order, gritted his teeth and said, "Sorry, my lord! The order I received is not to let anyone pass through here..."

Having said that, the guard stopped talking.

However, this made Earl Jolar even more furious.

Originally, he returned to the territory from the imperial capital with anger, and then brought the army to the northern border. He was worried that the royal earl, Reiner, would be wiped out in the war, so he brought the troops here.

Now he was turned away, his anger can be imagined.

"Damn it! Shoot the arrows! I'm going to kill this damned untouchable!"

"Ding ding ding..."

The sound of iron arrows hitting the city wall kept ringing, and more than fifty arrows all fell on the city wall.

He still has a certain sense of reason. Once he really caused casualties to the defenders in the castle, there might be a lot of misunderstanding between himself and Lena Bijue.

After a round of shooting, Count Jollal yelled at the ramparts: "Listen to you shit! I forgive you, because you have finally done your duty and obeyed Count Rainer's orders, and now I want you Go to Mecaron as quickly as possible to find someone who can talk to me! If I haven't seen anyone within six days, I will bypass you and go directly to the northern border to find Count Rainer Already!"

Twarinburg is a checkpoint that blocks the south from the north. Before Sir Horn came to the north to trade steel, he had to pass through a rugged forest.

Although Twarinburg is not that kind of fortified and dangerous pass, if the enemy army wants to cross here and go straight to the north, it will inevitably face sneak attacks and harassment from the defenders in the city, so the direction of Earl Joral's advance is blocked here.

After hearing what Earl Jolar said, the guard thought about it and said: "As you wish, my lord, I will send someone to Mecaron to report the news immediately! Before that, I have to wrong you and your family." The army is here!"

Earl Choral walked back with a sullen face and began to order the soldiers to set up camp.

Young and energetic, he couldn't stand others' disobedience to him. If this guard was not a soldier of Leiner but served under his command, he might have been executed by him long ago.

He came here because he was worried that Earl Rainer would be wiped out, and now he was blocked here and felt even more irritated.

At this time, near Mecaron City,

Commercial activities have appeared to be very sluggish.

Originally under the policy of Reiner, a large number of businessmen came to the northern border and began to purchase some local specialties, which led to the rise of a number of service industries and handicraft industries.

But now, because of the war, whoever revealed the news that the Earl will face a total of 6,000 cavalry, and at the same time secretly changed the concept and replaced the cavalry with knights.

Six thousand knights! What a concept that is!

Therefore, after hearing the news, the merchants became panicked, eager to sell their goods at a low price, and then left the northern border in a hurry.

As for the merchants who were born and raised in the north, they began to pour into Mecaron City, and some even fled to the south with their movable property.

After the local farmers and residents learned about it, although they were temporarily stabilized under the appeasement of the village chiefs, they were still full of panic.

Even in remote areas where Reiner's control was not very strong and there were no system officials and blood relatives of the Moreland family, entire villages fled.

They moved all the livestock and chattels to some woods or mountain forests to prevent the enemy from coming here to wreak havoc after the Lord Earl was defeated.

If Logan hadn't let the intelligence personnel under him guide the public opinion, I'm afraid the situation would have been even more severe.

In the main castle of Mecaron City, Madam Moreland looked at Baron Logan with red eyes, and Logan also had a serious face.

They were sitting in Mecaron City and knew nothing about the state of the war on the front line. Logan and Mrs. Moreland knew that Leiner's enemy was 6,000 prairie cavalry, but they still couldn't help but feel panicked after hearing such remarks.

"What should I do? Do you have any good solutions?" Mrs. Moreland said, her tears could no longer be controlled, and she covered her mouth and asked Logan.

Logan was also in a dilemma, how could he have news of the Earl? Could it be possible that an intelligence chief himself can affect the situation on the front line? This is simply impossible!

"What's the matter, mother? Why are you crying again?" At this moment, Mrs. Moreland's youngest daughter, Fianna, walked to her side, and asked with concern in a petite manner.

Mrs. Moreland was so sad that she could hardly speak, she just covered her mouth to keep herself from making a sound.

Her eldest son and second son, both sons went to the front line, and once she had nothing else, she would bear the pain of losing two sons at once.

For a mother, this is definitely a crueler punishment than any torture in the world.

Seeing her mother's grief and refusal, Fianna stopped talking and quietly leaned against Madam Moreland's side, hoping to bring her some comfort.

"Lord Logan... There is a messenger from Fort Twarin! He said that he must see you on important matters!" A guard knocked on the door.

"Excuse me ma'am, I..."

Seeing Mrs. Moreland nodding, Logan hurried out of the room.

"what happened?"

Logan asked.

"The people of Twarinburg say there is a man who claims to be..."

The voice outside the door got farther and farther away, and Mrs. Morland finally couldn't bear it, and cried bitterly: "Men! Always restless!!"

Her husband was wounded countless times due to the war, and finally died of illness in bed.

But now, the eldest of her two sons is less than twenty years old, but they still have to fight on the battlefield all day long.

This time, the two of them went to the danger together. She had been living in fear for more than thirty years, and now he was finally about to collapse.

Reiner didn't know what was happening in his territory. He was sending troops to act recklessly on the pastures of the Agul Department, slaughtering and plundering everywhere.

"Ah, that's right..." Reiner suddenly remembered, and said to Tillihan, "Let your people bring back the news of our complete victory..."

Speaking of this, his face darkened: "Let my vassals who fled on the battlefield see what they missed."

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Tell the news to Mecaron as soon as possible, my mother may have been worried for a long time..."
