Black Iron Crown

On the way back to the north, the soldiers walked like flying one by one.

After more than four months of expedition, the spring plowing had not started before leaving home, and it was still cold in the spring, but after the war, it was already early summer.

They want to go back to their long-lost hometown, meet their dear family members, tell them their heroic deeds on the battlefield, and make them proud of themselves.

At the same time... I also brought back my comrades-in-arms who had shared life and death together...

The war was extremely cruel, and Leiner lost a lot of troops. In the end, more than 700 recruits died on the battlefield. Many seriously injured soldiers could only wail in despair in the absence of medical treatment.

Then, in the midst of fear and howling, they left powerlessly this world that made them so nostalgic.

When Leiner set out on the expedition, he brought a lot of baggage carriages, and now those carriages not only contained the baggage, but also the ashes of the soldiers.

The weather at this time has become hot, and the corpses of the fallen soldiers cannot be preserved for a long time. In order to prevent these soldiers who died fighting for themselves from becoming unrecognizable, Leiner issued an order to be cremated.

They can only reunite with their families in this way. If it hadn't been for Leiner to go against the crowd and equip every soldier with an iron name tag, I'm afraid they won't even be able to tell who is who.

In fact, at this time, many corpses were already unidentifiable. They were trampled to pieces by the enemy's horseshoes, and they could not see the human form at all, so they had no choice but to restrain themselves and be cremated.

Reiner is also speechless about this, war is always so cruel, men in this era are like this, if they can't defeat the enemy on the battlefield, then their family and friends will become other people's slaves and prisoners.

To some extent, Reiner, the aloof Northern Earl, is no different from these soldiers. If he is defeated, his end will definitely be more miserable than these soldiers who died on the battlefield.

His whole family will be reduced to prisoners, his relatives and friends will die without a place to die, and those who follow him will not end well.

They were still far away from the northern border at this time, and it would take at least a month to reach them, but even so, the atmosphere of the whole team was still very high, some soldiers even sang the slang of their hometown, and the others joined forces.

At the same time, the news of Leiner's victory spread to other regions at a faster speed after it spread throughout the northern border.

A large number of businessmen re-entered the northern border to operate businesses that were forced to be interrupted by the war, and the news was completely detonated at the same time.

Just like making an airplane, it began to spread to the entire empire at a speed of thousands of miles a day.

Soon, the news spread to the imperial capital, which is more than 2,000 kilometers away from the northern border.

"Have you heard? The Earl Reiner who had a conflict with the Agul tribe won the battle some time ago! A tribe as big as the Agul tribe let him exterminate it!"

"What? Really won?"

"That's right, such a big tribe, an enemy that even the old emperor had a headache, was completely defeated by Earl Rainer just like that!"

"I heard that the heads of the people who were killed at that time were piled up like mountains, and the blood flowed almost turned into rivers!"

"Really? It seems that Earl Rainer is still very strong! But didn't you say that those noble lords even wanted to give up Earl Rainer because of this?"

"yes,

I really don't know what those noble lords think, they want to give up such a capable lord as Earl Rainer! "

The gossip and gossip in the entire imperial capital changed instantly, and the direction of the wind completely turned to Reiner's side.

At the same time, Earl Redmara was dumbfounded with shock.

"What did you say? Earl Rainer won?"

Earl Redmara stared at the intelligence officer in front of him in disbelief, and asked word by word.

"Yes, Lord Earl!" The innocent person said blankly, and his duty was to tell his master, Earl Redmara, everything he knew.

Hearing this, Earl Redmara took a breath of air, frowning and looking serious.

"Okay... I see, you go down first!"

After finishing speaking, Earl Redmara leaned on the back of the chair and panted weakly as if he had exhausted all his strength.

In any case, he had a clear conscience in making the decision he made before.

From his point of view, abandoning Earl Rainer to prevent the Argul Ministry from provoking troubles, even if there is a little selfishness, is just a small thought under the general trend.

If there is a better way, he will never choose to give up Reiner.

At the beginning, there was even a tit-for-tat conflict with the veteran resistance because of the debate on whether to give up Reiner.

Now, Earl Rainer is not only fine, but has defeated the Argul tribe who was feared by the lords.

He felt chills in his heart, these new nobles were already resisting the old ones, and they were even more sneering at them because of this time.

Now, Earl Rainer has won the victory. He can even imagine what kind of verbal criticism he will face, and it is not impossible to push himself out of the imperial capital by then.

The other emerging lords were in the same mood as Earl Redmara after hearing the news. Earl Jollal's departure in anger had an inseparable connection with them.

They and the old imperial party have almost reached the point where they are on fire. This time Earl Rainer won, and they will definitely use this incident to suppress their own side.

Completely different from the panic of the emerging nobles, the old imperial party can be said to be smiling.

For this group of lords who have officially joined the royal family for a short time, the old imperialists have a natural distrust.

After the old emperor became seriously ill, these emerging lords became more and more rampant under the favor and support of the queen.

The old imperial party, which didn't think much of them, became even more disgusted, and at the same time intensified the conflict between the two parties.

They rushed to tell each other, gearing up to make a big event to drive these damned new nobles out of the imperial capital.

A group of royal lords connected in series.

A distant nephew of the old emperor, Doril, whose territory is in the south, was one of the initiators of this big move.

In a mansion where he came from the imperial capital, more than a dozen veteran earls of the imperial party gathered together.

They are all top figures in the old imperial party, and these people gathered together to discuss how to drive those people out.

Earl Dorrill said with a smile: "This Earl of Rainer really deserves to be a descendant of Merlande, and he was able to defeat that Argul tribe!"

The other earls were also smiling, and the wrinkles at the corners of their eyes were squeezed out: "Yes, without him, we really can't do anything about this group of people!"

"Perhaps... this Earl Rainer can give us a lot of help in the future!"

"Who knows! But now, what we have to do is to drive those short-sighted people out of the imperial capital, and their handle is already in our hands!" Dorill said with a disdainful smile. ...
