Black Iron Crown

August 17th, twenty-five years of the Empire.

early morning.

The climate of the imperial capital in the central part is extremely mild, and the warm wind with moisture is very comfortable on the face, and a feeling of moistness arises spontaneously, which is completely different from the extremely dry weather in the northern region.

But even so, it still cannot change the fact that it was in Xia Tian at this time.

Fighting in summer is an extremely painful thing. Although the soldiers have taken off their leather armor and iron armor and put them on the baggage carriage, the armored clothes that are thickened for defense still retain a lot of body temperature.

Leiner could clearly see that beads of sweat were dripping from the foreheads of these soldiers.

It's the same even for him on a war horse. The moisture in the air can't take away the heat from his body, it will only make people feel more humid.

Lena felt a little worried.

The locals in the imperial capital were fine, they were used to the warm climate here, but the soldiers from the north obviously couldn't adapt.

In the northern region, even in summer, people will not feel hot and dry, at most they will feel hot from the sun, as long as they find a cool place, they can be relieved.

Just like this, it is still in the central imperial capital with a milder climate.

Leiner could already imagine how hot it would be further south.

Whether these soldiers from the north can withstand that temperature is really a question.

The acclimatization caused by different climates can kill a person, and Leiner does not want the army he has worked so hard to build at a high price to experience large-scale non-combat attrition.

Reiner had this feeling just after walking out of the emperor, and he didn't know what would happen when he really arrived at the southern fortress, which was 500 kilometers away.

Reiner imagined that it was scary, dysentery, malaria, although he had never seen these diseases, but he did not believe that they were all human beings, and such diseases would not exist in this world.

With such heavy thoughts, Reiner was in a terrible mood.

So, he began to order the soldiers to pay attention to prevent heatstroke, and strictly ordered the soldiers to resolutely not allow drinking water, and all the water used for drinking must be boiled before drinking.

In addition, Reiner once again emphasized the issue of personal hygiene. From the lowest-level squad leader to the commander in charge of 400 people, they all have the right to supervise the hygiene of the soldiers.

In this way, Leiner's marching speed will inevitably be slowed down a lot.

Although the military march was carried out separately, the slowdown of Reiner's speed still made others feel a little bit dissatisfied.

They don't understand why this earl from the north wants to do these useless things. Isn't this superfluous?

Leiner doesn't care what they think, it's none of his business that those people don't pay attention to hygiene, although he also hopes to make these people pay the same attention to disease prevention, but Leiner knows they won't listen.

"What's the matter with Reiner? These...uh, why are you wasting so much time on these useless things?" In the evening, Earl Jollal came to Reiner's camp and found him.

Earl Jolar was marching with Reiner. Originally, his team was two kilometers to the left of Reiner, but now he has surpassed Reiner by as much as four kilometers.

"Prevent disease!" Reiner looked into Earl Jolar's eyes and said solemnly: "We all come from the north, and our soldiers are also northerners. They are used to the cool weather in the north. The south will definitely not adapt!"

"You know it's the devil's curse in summer, which is caused by the heat. My soldiers followed me from the north to come here. I can't let them die on the march like this!"

Looking at the blank eyes of Earl Jollal, Reiner continued: "Trust me Jollal, the heat will cause more diseases! Let your army be the same as mine, the northerners can't adapt to the south hot!"

"But..." Earl Jollal wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Reiner waving his hand: "What I said is the truth, I don't mind slowing down the marching speed a little bit, but I definitely don't want the soldiers to die because of Disease, if you don’t intend to be like me, then I have to stay away from you for the sake of safety!”

Earl Jolar's eyes widened. The relationship between the two is very good. It can be said that he is the only one in the entire empire... Maybe the Earl of Princeton is also counted, so he is the only friend of Reiner.

And Leiner would actually say such things to himself, which shows that Leiner attaches great importance to this matter.

Earl Jollal also became serious: "Okay, I will reorganize the army according to your model..."

Reiner smiled and explained: "Don't care about my tone just now, if I didn't say that, you wouldn't care about it, don't worry, you will be grateful to me in the future!"

After saying this, Leiner was still very entangled in his heart. Although he knew that the other lords would not take this matter to heart, he still hoped that he could do something to prevent possible diseases.

After all, this was almost a life-and-death battle for the royal family. After staying in the imperial capital for three days, he knew that the troops gathered now were the last troops that the entire empire could use.

Although the royal family has already recruited 8,000 people for training, and plans to rebuild and expand the heavy cavalry that was almost wiped out in the last battle to 500, but it will not be useful in a short time.

Especially the heavy cavalry, Leiner doesn't think they can play a big role after training every three or four years.

After thinking about it, he still said to Earl Jollal, "I plan to tell the other lords about this..."

"It's useless!" Earl Jollal said as soon as Reiner finished speaking.

"Even if I don't agree with you, you still expect other people to believe you? It means that I have a good relationship with you, and other people probably won't believe it!"

Reiner frowned and said: "There is no way, do your best and obey the destiny, even if they don't stop, I will remind you!"

So, Earl Cholar and Reiner sent messengers to shuttle between this huge marching team, telling everyone the news that the heat would cause disease.

But unfortunately, no one believed such words at all, and some lords even laughed at Reiner.

"Cowardice is cowardice. It's ridiculous to use illness as an example!" A lord sneered in his heart, and then calmly sent back the envoys sent by Rainer and Earl Jorral.

"Is it a disease?" The Earl of Preston thought for a while, although he didn't quite believe the word of the disease, but he also wanted to see what kind of tricks Reiner and Earl Jollal were playing, so he followed Reiner's method of restraint own army.

After learning that only the Earl of Princeton believed his words, Reiner sighed helplessly, ignorance is indeed an unavoidable thing in every era.

At the same time, Reiner is stricter on the prevention of diseases, and only hopes to reduce the incidence rate even more.

After marching for about ten days, the entire anti-rebel army walked nearly 200 kilometers. The weather became hotter, and a small number of mild heat strokes began to appear in the army. ...
