Black Iron Crown

"Perhaps... this is really a different land from the south!" Farrant thought in his heart.

Rainer's luck was very bad. They happened to catch up with the heavy snow on the way of marching.

Frant, who grew up in the south, had never seen such snowflakes flying all over the sky.

In the south, even when it snows occasionally, there are only a few scattered spots, which melt before they hit the ground.

And the heavy snow in front of me, less than an hour after it started, has accumulated a thick layer on the ground, and it still has no intention of stopping.

"Speed ​​up the marching speed, otherwise our speed will be even slower!" Reiner said to the people beside him.

Another five days passed, and after passing through a series of villages, Lena and the others finally saw the city wall of Mecaron City.

Although Mecaron is already a third-tier city, the city walls are still not towering, and can only be compared with the second-tier military castle, Fort Morland.

Of course, the focus of these two castles is different. Mecaron City is a commercial city, and it needs to accommodate more residents to support the circulation of commerce.

At this time, Mecaron was not affected by the weather. Although the background was very cold at this time, and there was still thick snow blocking the traffic, the developed handicraft industry and diversified products still attracted businessmen from all over the world. Acquire items.

In addition, after completing primitive accumulation, many local businessmen began to purchase goods to make profits elsewhere.

Now the commercial atmosphere in the northern border has been successfully established, and the whole scene is prosperous.

Walking on a wide stone road in the middle, when Reiner's flag fluttered in the wind and snow, all pedestrians on this road retreated to the two sides to pay tribute to Reiner.

"Damn it! This is too arrogant! Who is this? He dares to be so arrogant in the northern region!" An unknown businessman said looking at the noisy atmosphere behind him.

"Blind your dog's eyes!" A local businessman glared at him and said, "Look at that banner, our Lord Earl has returned! If I hear you say such things again, I will make you pay the price !"

"My fault..." Seeing his angry look, the foreign businessman closed his mouth resentfully, admitting his mistake in a low voice.

"Is this Mecaron City? The most prosperous city in the north?" Frant sat in the carriage,

Looking at the roads of people coming and going around, I couldn't help being very surprised.

Even in the commercially developed south, this kind of shoulder-to-shoulder situation can only be seen in a few cities.

But now, she actually discovered such a place in the northern border, which she had previously regarded as a wild place.

Although she has never been to the northern border before, she has also heard of the lack of resources in the northern border. It can be said that apart from the amazing output of iron ore, she has no other characteristics and unique products.

But now in front of her are businessmen speaking local dialects who came here one after another to do business, and the vast arable land she saw along the way also changed her impression of food shortage in the north.

After all, in a place with such a large-scale arable land, even if the yield per mu is low, she does not believe that there will be a shortage of food.

"Is...he brought this?" Frant lowered his head and stroked his stomach, and the occasional rhythm made her feel strange.

"Perhaps... this is really a wise choice!" Frante thought in his heart, but then he thought of his attitude towards himself, and smiled wryly in his heart: "I hope..."

Looking at the more and more prosperous Mecaron City, Reiner was very satisfied, and was also quite surprised by his greedy, lustful and gambling finance minister Ai Zexi.

Although he had anticipated Aizexi's ability before, he thought that the Northern Territory had developed to this point in just seven months.

All the way under the compliments of everyone, Reiner finally came to the gate of Mecaron City after a long absence.

Here, all of Reiner's relatives, the eldest sons of various knight families, Logan and Aizexi, as well as courtiers in their own court, a mighty hundreds of people appeared in front of the door to welcome Reiner.

At this time, the door was completely blocked by this huge army.

However, no one dared to make the slightest complaint at this time, because the entire northern border was Leiner's territory.

He can do anything on this land, no matter what he does is reasonable and legal, just like doing something in his own home, does this still require the consent of others?

Reiner jumped off the horseback of the war horse, and Mrs. Moreland was already standing at the gate of the city with tears streaming down her face to greet her.

Her eldest son took her second son to fight for a full eight months, and the battlefield was so far away, and she knew that this judgment was not a war between nobles.

It's a life-and-death battle for survival. It's not as simple as being released just by paying a ransom, so the danger is far greater than any previous war.

Mrs. Moreland would even be awakened in her dreams every night. She would dream of her eldest son and second son, both of whom were mutilated, yelling at her that it hurts.

Rainer rushed forward to hug Mrs. Moreland, and after a while, the two separated, and then Mrs. Moreland hugged Wende again.

"How is it? Did you encounter any danger on the battlefield?" Mrs. Moreland checked Wende's body for wounds with concern.

"Oh... no mother..." The adolescent child always felt that such care was a burden, and gently pushed Mrs. Moreland away, saying awkwardly.

"Brother, he led us to a brilliant victory on the battlefield. For this reason, His Majesty the Emperor canonized him as the Grand Duke of the Northern Territory, the ruler of the Northern Kingdom. Now we are all from the Northern Kingdom!" Speaking of these, Wen De's tone It became much more exciting.

Baron Cod came up with a smile, and said, "That's right, sister-in-law, all of this is true. Reiner showed his power on the battlefield. Without him, the war might have been lost long ago. He is Molander. Family savior!"

"That's really great! If your father knew about this, he would definitely jump up for joy!" Mrs. Moreland said excitedly with red eyes.

"Uh...Mum, besides this, there is one very important thing I want to tell you..." Reiner said with a bit of a puzzled expression, hesitant to speak.

"What?" asked Mrs. Moreland.

Reiner's expression was very strange, and he hesitated for a long time before saying anything.

Afterwards, he said in embarrassment: "Let's go back to the main castle and talk about it...it's not appropriate to say it here!"

With that said, a group of people started to rush to the main castle.

The army under Leiner's command was taken to the barracks outside the city by Baron Valas and Baron Leyland. Only a small number of followers in full armor followed Leiner and walked towards the main castle.

In addition, there was a creaking carriage making noise, following the team to the main castle.
