Black Iron Crown

The Allied Forces of the Imperial Capital moved quickly, but Frante reacted faster than them.

All of this is due to the convenience of Logan's intelligence. If he hadn't told Frante the news in time, they might not be able to react when the enemy arrived.

All the royal lords have already received the news that the enemy army is going north, and they are like frightened birds, seeking the protection of the former enemy of Frante, the current vigilant.

"Lead the army to the south immediately! The treasury has begun to transfer food to the south on a large scale, and we must keep up with the consumption of the army!"

"Count Corder!" Frante called Count Code, he did not go out with Leiner, but stayed in the northern border to assist Frante, and at the same time, he meant to guard against her.

"From now on, men who are not disabled between the ages of sixteen and forty will be recruited into the army. They will start training today, and then report the number to me!"

"In addition, order the blacksmiths to work overtime, divide into three groups for production, stop all armor making, and instead produce gun heads! The women immediately stop spinning wool cloth, produce gun barrels, and supply them to the army!"

"From now on, no one is allowed to freely move between the villages! No one is allowed to go out or enter the city of Mecaron!

"Except for absenteeism and supervisors, no one is allowed to enter or leave the iron mine! Everyone is on alert, and every household finds any suspicious things and immediately reports them layer by layer! The woolen cloth factory understands to speed up the production of woolen cloth and to sew armed clothing! Do as much as possible So that at least half of the militiamen have armed clothing as protection!"

"Children and old people under the age of sixteen are responsible for making simple shields. They don't need to be gorgeous, they just need to be practical!"

At this moment, Frante seemed to be back on the battlefield again. The invincible commander seemed to reappear in the world again. Orders were issued one after another, and she commanded the entire northern border vigorously and vigorously.

Back in the room, Frante took the child from the hand of the maid, and looked at the little meat ball born from his body with loving eyes, as if he felt comforted in his heart.

The radiance of maternal love bloomed on her haggard face.

The child was born two months ago and weighed a full four kilograms when he was born. He was a very strong boy.

He inherited Reiner's genes, and he also has blond hair, just like all members of the Moreland family, Farrant's brown hair did not affect his genes at all.

She looked at her child as if in a daze,

After a while, she smiled and said: "Your father will lay down a large enough territory for you. This territory can be moved around by you, and can accommodate all your ambitions!"

"And you will be as great as your father!" She looked at her child with a proud face

Farrant remembered the day when the child was born, and the whole northern border fell into a carnival.

This means that the Grand Duke of the North, the owner of the kingdom of the North, finally has a legal heir. They no longer need to worry that the beautiful life in front of them is just a dream. The new Lord of the North will continue the glory of Grand Duke Leiner.

For this reason, residents in the northern border even celebrated spontaneously. On the day a child is born, almost all commodities in the northern border are sold at half price.

At this time, Earl Jollal had already led the army south, and most of the royal lords who were a little closer to the north also took the army to the south, intending to stop their enemies there.

The winter in the north is coming as usual. When the snowflakes fall from the sky, the north instantly becomes a land of ice and snow covered in silver.

At this time, almost all the militiamen had assembled a full set of equipment.

An armed suit made of twelve layers of woolen cloth, a shield and a two-meter-long spear.

Frante put on the armor he hadn't seen for a long time, and marched towards the south with the army.

At this time, she looked quite bloated, without any sense of lines in the usual way, but even so, her movements were not hindered in any way.

A thousand soldiers were left in the north, led by Earl Corder to prepare for emergencies.

November twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth year of the empire.

All the royal lords gathered at Fort Angron, which was the territory of the Earl of Pushton. He was the closest to the south among the royal lords' territories, so the royal lords thought that the enemy would be the first to attack here.

When Farrant led 7,000 people to arrive here, everyone immediately cheered.

Because of Leiner's departure, they thought that their greatest protector had left, but they didn't expect that the northern border would be able to produce so many troops.

Seeing the more than 7,000 people led by Frante, these royal lords were full of confidence again in an instant. They added up to nearly 4,000 people. Adding these 7,000 people, that is 11,000 soldiers .

In the south, Earl Creek has sent more than a dozen envoys to other lords to convey Reiner's thoughts to them.

Reiner stood above the walls of Fort Creek and looked at the situation below the castle.

Three days have passed, and the enemy still has not launched an attack on his army.

Even if one's own army has camped in place and built complete fortifications, the war fortifications in the cold weapon era are really of little use.

They could easily break through these fortifications and attack directly if they wanted to.

The messengers arrived at their destination one by one.

"Is Grand Duke Rainer here too?" A baron looked at the letter in his hand and said disdainfully: "But so what? There are more than 20,000 people! I went back to help him when I was out of my mind!"

As he said that, the baron looked at the messenger and said: "Go back and tell the Grand Duke Reiner and your master, Earl Creek, that I regret that I can't help you. The enemy's power is too large. Even with us I'm afraid there will be no change."

"Therefore, in order to avoid a greater disaster, I can only protect myself wisely. I hope Earl Creek can understand!"

The messenger reluctantly returned to Fort Creek with his message, and the rest of the dozen or so people arrived at Fort Creek almost at the same time.

And the news they brought back was almost the same.

No one is willing to help Fort Creek, and they see no hope of victory.

"Look... I knew it was like this..." Earl Crick said bitterly. Although he knew that this would be the result, it was still a bit unbearable when the matter was really in front of him.

Reiner closed his eyes and sighed, feeling helpless about it.

"It seems that we have to win a battle to prove ourselves!" After a moment of silence, Reiner lined up tables and stood up.

He glanced at everyone around him, and said slowly: "Tomorrow morning, we will usher in a victory!"
