Black Iron Crown

After writing the letter, Reiner put it in an envelope, melted the wax, and pressed on his heraldic ring.

"Give this letter to the courier and let him take it back to the imperial capital!" Leiner called the guard outside the door and put the envelope in his hand and said.

He attaches great importance to his own safety, and the guards at the gate are two Scarlet Griffin followers.

All his food and drinking water need to be checked by the intelligence personnel sent by Logan, because he is afraid that someone will murder him.

It's not that he has persecution paranoia, it's just that he is in a high position now, and there are so many people who want to step on his shoulders to climb up, not to mention that some of the decisions he made will inevitably affect the interests of some people, Who knows if they will retaliate by assassinating.

The scarlet griffin servant took the envelope and left in a hurry.

Looking at his leaving back, the corners of Reiner's mouth curled up slightly.

In any case, steel is in his own hands. If Earl Redmara and others want to get it, they have to meet their own conditions. In any case, they are in the active position.

He didn't want to export a large amount of steel directly to the imperial capital. First, it was not as good as selling armor directly, and second, it indirectly improved the strength of the other party.

Now most of the royal family are on their side. When their strength is sufficient and the time is ripe, they may really have to fight each other, and the steel sold to each other will become their hindrance.

And the conditions put forward by Reiner are also very harsh. Fifty thousand people is definitely not a small number for any territory. If it is placed in the northern border, it is self-evident that the increase in the labor force in the northern border is self-evident.

Anyway, no matter how Earl Redmara chooses at that time, Reiner will not suffer.

If he doesn't agree to send 50,000 people, then Leiner will have no choice but to cut off the steel and turn over the finished iron armor for them.

In that case, Reiner would earn more.

And it would be even better if 50,000 people were sent in. There would be an additional 50,000 labor force in the northern border, and the potential for war would become even greater.

At that time, the big deal is to directly give the steel to the other party. One hundred tons of steel will not affect the overall situation.

If the loss is removed, it is only three or four thousand sets of armor, and Leiner's own army is equipped with more armor than this.

At that time, if he earns 50,000 yuan, Reiner will be so happy.

It has to be said that Reiner's behavior is simply extortion.

But where is the morality in matters of politics?

As long as he can make his territory stronger, Leiner doesn't care if he will be known as a blackmailer. After he really becomes stronger, who will dare to chew his tongue?

February twenty-eighth, twenty-six years of the empire.

A huge team is walking through the ice and snow in the northern border with difficulty.

A blue background with a heraldic flag embroidered with moonflowers fluttered in the cold wind.

There were about 200 people in the group, and they looked in a state of distress. Each of them was wrapped in heavy clothes, but even so, they were still shivering in the bone-piercing cold weather.

"Oh my god...this...is this where Miss is staying?" a knight exhaled tremblingly and sighed.

Ever since Frant and Reiner got married, her identity could no longer be concealed, and her daughter's identity was already known to everyone.

And everyone in Fort Creek, from the squires to the serfs, all admired Frante's righteous deed.

It was she who had sacrificed her happiness to bring peace to all the heat in Fort Creek.

However, even so, Fort Creek is also facing difficulties at this time.

"It's really unimaginable, miss, she actually has to face such a harsh environment!" Another knight shook his body and said in a slightly depressed mood.

Because of insufficient preparation, they had lost almost ten people along the way, all of them were buried in this ice and snow forever because of the cold.

"Keep going! We can reach Mecaron in just ten days!" The leading knight shouted loudly to boost the morale of the team.

At this time, Reiner had also received news about this entry team.

It is impossible for them not to pass by a village along the way, and as long as they are discovered by the residents of the northern border, it means that they are discovered by Leiner.

In the northern border, no matter who found a foreign team, these residents would report it to their village officials, and then the village officials would send someone to inform them that there would be a guard post every 30 kilometers.

In this way, Lehner's monitoring is almost all over the northern border.

"Mochizuki with blue background?" Reiner put down the parchment in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Looks like it's here!" Reiner couldn't help but smile. Although Fort Creek might not bring him much income, no matter how small a mosquito's legs are, it's still meat. It's better to have something than nothing.

"There are people coming from Fort Creek, and they have already entered the northern border!" In the evening, Rainer said to Farrant beside him.

"Yes, that's really great. I haven't heard from my hometown for a long time!" Frante seemed very excited after hearing what Reiner said.

"Ah, this time we can learn about Fort Creek through them!" Reiner said with a smile.

March 15th, Year 26 of the Empire.

A group of people from Fort Creek finally made it out of Mecaron City with difficulty.

Looking at the majestic and prosperous city in front of them, they couldn't help being excited but tears filled their eyes.

After walking for nearly four months and experiencing many hardships along the way, I finally arrived at this final destination.

After explaining their identities and handing over the voucher to Reiner, the group finally got permission to enter Mecaron City.

Seeing the prosperity here, Sir Wilson, who led the team, couldn't help being dazzled.

Although the business in the south is more prosperous than that in the north, there is not a large-scale commercial city in Fort Creek.

Most of the commercial activities are completed in spontaneous markets or villages.

Although commercial activities are very frequent, it has not formed a city as majestic and blooming as Mecaron City.

Walking into the city wall, whether it is selling animal skins, turpentine, wood, firewood, or various prey, meat, milk, or other handicraft products are sold here.

And according to their observations, the most popular thing here is the strange-looking fabric, which looks thinner than woolen fabric.

In his opinion, it is definitely an expensive fabric, so he gave up this bold idea when he wanted to buy some.

At the same time, I am amazed at the residents of Mecaron City. After all, they can even afford such delicate and soft fabrics, and they seem to be richer than their noble lords.

He was one of the people who followed Farland on the battlefield, and he knew the strength of the Northern Earl and the current Northern Duke very well, so he restrained his men and forbade them from committing adultery. break the law.
