Black Iron Crown

After putting on the armor, the marching speed of the soldiers became much slower, and it was already a good speed to be able to walk 20 kilometers a day.

But there is no way, Reiner really can't trust those upstarts, so it's very important to be vigilant.

Along the way, he passed through the territories of several upstarts, all the time peddling that they were safe and sound. Although they didn't even say hello to Reiner, they made him very satisfied that they didn't cause trouble.

In Fort Creek, more than 500 defenders on the city wall have lost more than 1,000 people still sticking to their posts.

Earl Creek had to repeat his pep talk every day, as the enemy's attacks below the walls intensified.

Perhaps this is because Sir Constance never went back after climbing the city wall.

"I swear! My soldiers! Wait until the war is over and we are victorious! Each of you will be rewarded with fifty acres of arable land and five silver coins!"

"Listen up! It's five silver coins, not copper! As long as you survive, as long as you can survive until the day of victory, you will all become rich!"

Earl Creek shouted loudly that war is the thing that can most wear down a person's will. If it weren't for this, these soldiers might not be able to bear such pressure and collapsed long ago.

Sir Contans stared blankly at the ceiling in the dungeon in the middle of the castle. A rare ray of sunlight shone through the narrow window. This was the only light in the dark and damp old place full of rats and bedbugs.

Dust was flying around under the sunlight, and Lao Fang, who was emitting a stench, seemed out of place in this world.

He was not executed by Earl Creek, he saved his life.

Back in time a month ago, Sir Contans, who was captured on the city wall, cried bitterly and begged Earl Crick for mercy, hoping that he would spare his life.

"No! Stop!" Sir Contans yelled crazily as he watched the sharp long sword getting closer and closer to him. He didn't want his life to end here.

"Earl Creek! Earl Creek!" Sir Contans suddenly shouted: "I have very important information! I have very important information to tell you! If you kill me, you will never Want to know!"

"Information?" Listening to Sir Contans, Earl Creek frowned slightly,

He had heard some clues from the other party's tone before, and now with the words of Sir Contans, Earl Crick felt that it was necessary for the attack to listen to what he had to say.

"Stop it first!" Earl Crick waved his hand at the knight, and then walked in front of Sir Contans.

Looking at Sir Contans who was almost vacated and turned into a pool of mud, Earl Crick said: "I will bypass you temporarily, but you must tell the so-called secret. If I find out that you are deceiving me, I'll take out your intestines right away and stuff them in your mouth, understand?"

"Yes, yes, my lord earl, I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything I know!"

Earl Creek glanced at the surrounding soldiers, and then said to the two soldiers, "Take him into the cell, and I will interrogate him at night!"

After repelling a round of enemy attacks during the day, Earl Creek entered the castle but the dungeons at night.

Sir Contans was sitting weakly on the ground with his hands tied behind his back.

At night, Earl Crick entered the cell, accompanied by a jailer who was a master at extorting confessions by torture.

Earl Crick came in and didn't ask questions immediately, but winked at the jailer beside him.

Knowing what he understood, he immediately walked up with two subordinates, untied the rope on Sir Contans' hands, and tied him to the pillar in the middle of the cell, with his hands also tied on both sides.

"Oh! What are you going to do! Let me go!" Sir Contans struggled violently, but unfortunately, with the joint efforts of the two of them, he didn't have much room to resist, so he could only be tied to the pillar helplessly superior.

Afterwards, his shirt was roughly torn apart by two guards, and the cool night wind blew on his naked body, which caused goose bumps.

"Earl Creek, what... what are you doing?" Sir Contans asked Earl Creek with a smile that was uglier than crying.

"To make you tell the truth!" Earl Creek spread his hands and said, "At the same time, this will also make you more sensible and avoid more pain!"

"No! I'm very sensible! Please let them let me go!" Sir Contans struggled violently, but soon, his struggle turned into a scream of pain.

His shrill cry echoed in the dungeon, hovering under the night sky, as if the evil spirit from hell was about to break free from the cage.

After receiving twenty lashes, Sir Constance's voice was already hoarse, his body was covered with bruises, and his whole body was covered with blood-red welts. Drops of blood dripped down his body to the ground.

"Okay, now I think we can be honest with each other!" Earl Crick said with a smile.

"Tell me, what do you want to tell me?" Earl Creek's expression became severe.

"Yes... yes..." Sir Contans was already exhausted after being whipped more than twenty times, and his voice seemed so weak.

"The lords below are besieging Fort Creek not just because they want to carve up you, but their real purpose is...is..."

"What is it?" Earl Crick had a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had caught some key clue, he immediately stood up from his chair and walked in front of Sir Contans and asked.

"As long as you speak out, I will spare your life! I swear to the Holy Father with my honor and dignity!" said Earl Crick.

"It's Grand Duke Leiner. Their goal is to lure Grand Duke Leiner over and gather superior forces to kill him here!"

"For the sake of Grand Duke Reiner, as for uniting everyone? They are not innocent, I hope you will not deceive me!" Earl Crick looked at Sir Contans with a scrutinizing gaze asked.

"It's the upstarts, the upstarts of the imperial capital. They paid for Earl Lorrance and several other lords to unite, and linked most of the northern lords to annihilate that Grand Duke Leiner. Maybe it's because of the internal discord in the royal family. , I don’t know exactly what’s going on!”

"That's all I know, Earl Crick, I hope you can keep your previous oath and spare my life!"

At this time, the Earl of Creek was already terrified by this news. If it was really as Sir Contans said, then this war was undoubtedly a colossal conspiracy against Rainer.

Even myself will become a victim in this vortex at that time, and the whole family will become scum, and there will be no bones left!
