Black Iron Crown

After careful consideration, Leiner chose to send troops without hesitation.

The troops of his vassals gathered around the city of Mecaron, and the whole city seemed to be turned into a large military camp.

The soldiers had some spare money in their hands, so they took advantage of the relaxing time to enter the bustling city to have fun for themselves.

There are more than 30,000 permanent residents in Mecaron City, and there are more than 30 taverns or inn branches in every corner of the city. In addition, there are many prostitutes and prostitutes.

Within a few days, a lot of income has been created for the citizens.

Moreover, because of the maintenance of the patrol team, the law and order in the city did not decrease too much due to the influx of these soldiers, and remained within a good range.

Although many soldiers were severely beaten by the patrol team and thrown out of the city during the period, overall it was quite harmonious.

In the countryside, the militias were also called up one by one.

After a winter's preliminary training, they already have a little combat effectiveness.

These people are already strong and have some experience in using weapons. After some training, their combat effectiveness is still passable.

More than 8,000 militiamen were organized, and now that the busy farming season has passed, most of them were placed outside Mecaron City to continue training, and the rest were responsible for guarding the remaining five castles in Leiner's hands.

The densely packed seventy or eighty castles in the northern border had long been demolished by Leiner, and they were exchanged for stone roads through the system.

July 6th, Year 26 of the Empire.

early morning.

Reiner was wearing a set of composite armor, with the coat of arms of Morland in the north painted on his chest, and he was riding on the back of a tall war horse in high spirits.

One of his followers led the horse for him, with the helmet under his armpit. Thirty blood-colored griffin knights followed him and formed three rows, following him out of the city neatly.

The residents of Mecaron City have long felt the atmosphere of war during this period, but after a series of victories by Reiner, everyone believes that their Lord Duke is invincible.

With smiles on their faces, they all took off their fur hats and greeted Reiner, cheering: "Your Duke is invincible!"

Although these people are only civilians,

But they can feel the honor that comes with living under the Grand Duke of the North.

They are proud and proud of it.

When they reached the gate tower, Mrs. Moreland and Frante led a group of servants to see each other off again.

Leiner turned over and got off the horse. The armor on his body made the sound of iron plates colliding. He walked forward with his chest upright and came to his mother.

Although Reiner did not help each other when Farland seized power some time ago, Mrs. Moreland still has no resentment towards Reiner.

After all, her husband is dead, and her only thought is to help her son. Now that this territory has ushered in a new hostess, and her son also trusts her, there is no need for her to continue It's in my hands.

Mrs. Moreland hugged him, and then said solemnly: "I know that you men always pursue your own honor and rights on the battlefield, and your father is also like this."

"However, I hope you can remember that everyone here can't do without you, and keep yourself safe! Swear to me!"

"Yes, mother, I swear that I will return safely! With victory and glory, my soldiers will fight bloody for me!" Reiner nodded solemnly.

Mrs. Moreland stared at Reiner for a moment before sighing: "It's really like your father. He was like you when he was young, always pursuing glory and victory!"

"Of course!" Reiner grinned, "I am his son after all!"

Although he had never met his father in this body and had no feelings for him, he still said so.

"No...he is not as good as you. You have led the family to glory, and it will be the same in the future! Keep yourself safe! I won't say more, go and talk to your wife!"

Mrs. Moreland looked at Farrant behind and said, and then quickly looked away.

Although she doesn't resent Reiner, it doesn't mean that she can coexist peacefully with this woman who once caused trouble to her son.

Reiner walked up to Farrant and gently grabbed her hand: "It's been almost eight months?"

Farrant pursed his lips and said nothing, just looked at his husband and nodded.

"I'm sorry, I can't be by your side when you give birth, when our child is born!" Reiner said apologetically.

"It's okay..." Frant held his hand tightly and said, "This is what I asked for. You must pay attention to your own safety!"

Reiner laughed: "Even you, the general who fought so many victories, was defeated by me. Is there anyone else in this world who can defeat me?"

"Don't worry! I'll come back with victory and honor, and I'll give you news of your father's safety!" After finishing speaking, Farrant walked behind him before he could speak.

Stepping on the stirrups and getting on the horse, Leiner hurried out of the city wall with the snow-colored griffin riders.

Behind him, the cheers in the city of Mecaron could still be faintly heard, they were looking forward to Leiner's victory.

At this time, the weather in the northern region has become more and more sunny, summer has arrived, and spring is almost negligibly short, perhaps spring is the season when the snow melts.

Due to the expansion of the production of woolen cloth, and the defensive performance is much stronger than that of pure linen, the armed clothing lined inside the soldiers' iron armor has become woolen cloth products.

All of Leiner's troops, including those of the vassals, were arranged in square formations and stood neatly in front of Leiner.

The Merland sergeants were as silent and rigid as ever, they were as reliable and determined as all Rhodok men.

Reiner looked at the huge army formation that could hardly be seen at a glance with his head held high, and an irresistible ambition rose from his heart.

"My soldiers and vassals!" Rainer shouted loudly.

Although his voice cannot be heard by everyone, the soldiers in front will repeat his words, making sure everyone knows what Reiner means.

"We are about to conduct the second expedition to the south!"

"They are shameless! And they have no fear! They besieged the territory of my father-in-law, Earl Creek! This is ignoring me, the honor and face of the Grand Duke of the North, Rainer Moreland!"

"Now! I will take you! Go to the rich place in the south to recover my face and glory! And they! Will be defeated by us again! Does he have no one? He must obediently sacrifice all his treasures , as compensation to us!"

"You as my soldiers! Those who fought for me on the battlefield, you are entitled to one-third of the numbers!"

"Now! Let's attack the skinny and cowardly Southerners!"
