Black Iron Crown

The preparations for this gathering and martial arts tournament are in full swing, but an invitation letter to the lords of the royal family has already been sent out.

The territories of the royal lords are very scattered, and they are scattered in all directions of the entire empire. When they lead people to the northern border, all preparations will be completed.

Earl Jollal was the closest to the northern border, so he was the first to lead the vassals and knights to the northern border.

"Welcome to the North again, Earl Jolar!" Reiner and Earl Jolar hugged each other, and then welcomed him into the castle.

"It's been so long, and your territory is more prosperous than before!" Earl Jolar stood on the roof of Mecaron City and looked down, Zeze said in amazement.

"Haha, your territory is not without development, and... among the many foreign merchants here, there are also many people from the Bazalan Kingdom!"

Reiner intends to tell Earl Joral about what happened in the Bazalan Kingdom. Now that the empire is in chaos, people are unpredictable. Who knows if the Bazalan Kingdom will pounce on it and bite it.

It is good for Earl Jollal to be mentally prepared.

"The Kingdom of Bazalan? We have fought against them in the past, but their combat effectiveness is really not very good. Apart from the fact that the soldiers are brave and fearless, they are almost useless!"

Reiner shook his head: "Don't take it lightly. They buy iron and steel farming tools from me, and they can melt them into iron armor when they go back. I have sent people to the Kingdom of Bazalan to investigate. Let's talk about it after we get the conclusion!"

"By the way, you suddenly want to entertain all the lords of the royal family. Could it be that you want to make the matter of the little emperor and queen public?" Earl Choral asked.

"No, it's not the time yet. I just want to gather the royal lords to get in touch. I hope we can unite and fight against those upstarts!"

"You know, after the death of Grand Duke Mabula, no one in our royal family can represent the interests of all of us anymore. In order to prevent the upstarts from gradually eroding our power, I plan to stand up!"

Reiner said solemnly, but his purpose is not just to integrate the power of the royal family, he wants to establish his dominant position among the royal family, and it will be a matter of course for him to take the position in the future.

"Hmm... what you said makes sense. Now you are the one with the highest title and the strongest strength among us. It is indeed the most suitable for you to lead us against those upstarts!"

Another month has passed,

The preparatory work has been almost done, hunting teams one by one returned from the frigid forest, bringing back all kinds of rare birds and birds.

The construction of the martial arts field has also come to an end, the main structure has been completed, and now the servants are decorating there.

This arena is a grand building. Sir Baragon, who was in charge of various constructions under Reiner's command, mobilized more than 5,000 Klader coolies and various craftsmen, and it took more than three months to complete the construction.

In addition to the viewing seats, the entire venue is 150 meters long and 120 meters wide, which is larger than a football field in later generations. Even horseback riding in such a venue is enough for competitions up.

The royal lords are still trying to show Leiner's face, even if some people don't take this invitation seriously, but because they can eat and drink for free and watch the game, all the royal lords decided to take a look.

The current royal lords are no longer as arrogant as they were at the beginning. After suffering huge losses, they fully understand the fact that without strength there is no confidence.

What's more, Reiner stood up against the behavior of the queen and the upstarts in the Tesca Palace before, which also won him a lot of popularity among the royal lords, even the lords who had sneered at Reiner before. No more outrageous words.

One after another, some royal lords began to arrive in the northern border, and they led their families and vassals to live in the rooms of the main castle of Mecaron.

As time passed, Frante's stomach began to bulge slightly, and the entire city of Mecaron erupted with joy.

Even Molan's wife, who had a problem with Frante at first, treated her kindly.

"Have you heard that the Grand Duke of the Northern Territory is going to hold a martial arts competition, but all the people invited are from the royal family!"

"Yeah, this Duke Leiner is really going too far. I still remember his arrogant appearance in the Tesca Palace!"

"You mean, I haven't received the invitation? Damn Duke Leiner dares to look down on me!"

These upstarts who have not received the invitation letter are talking about Reiner's behavior, but everyone has the same meaning, and they are very dissatisfied with Reiner's behavior.

At this time, Earl Redmara, who was still staying in the palace, already had worries in his heart.

At that time, when Reiner said the words that were almost broken, he felt that something was wrong.

However, since the royal family at that time were filled with righteous indignation, they didn't say much.

But now, after he received the news that Reiner summoned all the royal lords, a bad feeling filled his heart.

He hurried to see the queen.

"What happened, Earl Redmara, why did you want to see me in such a hurry?" The queen's face was full of spring, and water could almost ooze from the eyes that looked at Earl Redmara.

After all the royal lords were pushed out of the imperial capital, or all the royal lords left the imperial capital on their own initiative, her life can be said to be very nourishing.

Luxurious enjoyment, an unfettered life, and an extremely lingering relationship with Earl Redmara, she felt that she had never lived such a beautiful life since she was born.

However, Earl Redmara was not in the mood to pay attention to the queen's desire. He frowned and said: "Duke Leiner summoned all the royal lords in the northern border and wanted to hold a martial arts tournament. It is worth mentioning that the invited people Not one is a lord who is not a royal family..."

Earl Redmara's words are extremely obvious.

"You mean, that Earl Rainer wants to win over this group of people?" The queen's face also became serious. If it was true what Earl Redmara said, then she had to take it seriously.

"More than that..." Earl Redmara's brows became more and more frowned: "The current royal lords are very disappointed with us, but Duke Rainer is taking advantage of this time to win them over. What exactly does he want to do is a question!"

Suddenly, the queen said with a pale face: "Do you think...he already knows?"

"It shouldn't be..." Earl Redmara swallowed, narrowed his eyes and said: "If he knew, with the character of the royal family, the whole world should have known about it... Could it be that he is innocent? Want to rebel?"

"Then...then what should we do?" the queen said in a panic.

"Didn't we form a new army, let's continue to deploy people in it, we must make sure that these troops obey our orders 100%!" Earl Redmara said again: "I will handle this matter! "
