Black Iron Crown

Earl Lorrance's lips were a little chapped, and at first he seemed a little annoyed when he heard Reiner's hungry words, but he quickly suppressed the anger in his heart.

He closed his eyes and sighed, then opened them and said, "Why did you ask me to come here?"

Reiner couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the words, and he was so arrogant for this sake, I have to say that he really couldn't see the situation clearly.

The corner of Reiner's mouth pulled down a mocking smile, and said, "Naturally, I came here to stop the war!"

"Stop the war? Is the initiative of the war still in our hands?" Earl Lorance said lightly.

"Very well, you can still see the current situation clearly. Since you are also a smart person, then I'll cut to the chase!"

Earl Laurence nodded.

"Since you have contacted the upstarts of the imperial capital, you must know their purpose and current actions! Therefore, I need to rush back to the north as soon as possible, and I don't have time to waste here with you!"

Before Reiner could finish speaking, Earl Lorance said, "In this case, why don't you leave the south quickly? The north may already be very dangerous at this time!"

Reiner frowned and looked unhappy. He looked lightly at Earl Lorrance's brow, staring at the other's brow would make people feel nervous.

Sure enough, Earl Lorrance was stunned by Reiner's eyes, and he kept silent, which also put a lot of pressure on him.

Normally Earl Lorrance held a high position, no one would dare to look at him like this, but now he suddenly faced Reiner's gaze, he was not used to it.

Seeing Earl Llorance fidgeting, Duke Ans couldn't stand it any longer. If this continues, he will lose his right to speak more and more.

So, he stood up to help Earl Lorrance and said, "Grand Duke Rainer, please show some respect!"

After hearing what the Duke of Ans said, Reiner instantly looked away, and then looked at the Duke of Ans with a bad expression.

"Where did you come from? How dare you talk to me like this?" Reiner raised his brows and glanced at Duke Ans with disdainful eyes.

"You!" The Duke of Ans flew into a rage, and wanted to curse, but was interrupted by Reiner's next words.

"It was just a little baron who whispered back then that he became a dog for our Moreland family in exchange for your duke title. Without our Moreland family, you would still be a barbarian living with pigs and dogs in the backcountry!"

"Bah!" Reiner spat on the face of the Duke of Ans, and said arrogantly: "It's just a dog that devours the Lord! What are you howling here?"

Reiner glared at him and then looked away, as if seeing a piece of shit.

The Duke of Ans was already stunned at this time, he couldn't believe what he had just encountered.

Ever since he became a duke, he has never been treated like this.

More than 20 years of development had already improved his strength by leaps and bounds. Even if he was not as good as the former prince, Earl Lorrance, he was still among the top lords in the south.

Normally, even Earl Llorans would not treat him with contempt.

Except for the Duke of Ans himself, the rest of the people were also shocked by Reiner's actions.

No one thought that the Grand Duke Leiner would be so arrogant and humiliate a duke directly.

Even the lords on Reiner's side who did not join forces with the coalition forces mostly thought so, but because Duke Ans's character has always been not very good, it is very satisfying.

Especially Earl Crick, he almost jumped up and cheered after seeing Reiner's actions, he hated this group of people to the bone.

Everyone's reactions were different, but Reiner ignored the Duke of Ans like a normal person at this time, and turned his attention to Earl Lorrance.

But he didn't continue talking, but looked at him with meaningful eyes, waiting for him to make the next move.

Just when Duke Ans was furious and wanted to explode, Earl Lorance said: "Duke Ans, Grand Duke Rainer also made a mistake unintentionally, so don't pursue it!"

After speaking, without looking at the attitude of Duke Ans, he looked at Reiner again.

Rainer smiled slightly and said, "The north is indeed dangerous, but you still maintain enough strength, and Fort Creek has already suffered heavy losses. I am really worried about you!"

"So, what do you want to do?" Earl Lorrance was also straightforward. He knew that he was at a disadvantage at this time, and there was not much room for bargaining.

"Signing a contract is a little lower..."

"However, I no longer trust your reputation, so I hope that you, Earl Lorrance, will lead the army to go with me during my journey to the north. Just in time, we can share weal and woe, and I can trust you too!"

"No! It's impossible!" Earl Lorrance rejected Reiner's proposal almost without thinking.

If he really did this, it would be no different from directly swearing allegiance to Reiner. Anyway, in the eyes of others, the attack would become Reiner's vassal, which he absolutely could not bear.

"But what if you don't follow me, but attack Fort Creek again while I'm away? I no longer trust your credibility!"

"In any case, this is impossible, so stop wishful thinking!" Earl Lorance said extremely firmly.

"Are you sure this is your final answer? You have to think about it!" Reiner looked into the eyes of Earl Lorrance with a threatening expression on his face.

However, what Reiner didn't expect was that Earl Lorrance was not threatened by him at all, as if he didn't care about being eliminated by him at all.

Earl Lorrance smiled slightly: "You don't need to threaten me, as long as I can withdraw my territory, you will have nothing to do with me. I don't think you can take my castle in half a year, but can the north sustain it? After half a year, that's not something I should consider!"

After hearing the other party's words, Reiner's heart sank.

Earl Lorrance's words are what Reiner has been worried about all along, and now the deterrent effect from the other party's mouth is obviously greater.

"But the premise is that you can really escape back to the castle, do you think I will let you go?" Reiner said coldly.

"Hehe..." Earl Lorrance smiled slightly and said, "Even if you pursue us, can you keep everyone here? As long as someone can go back, it's a hidden danger, right?"

After listening to Earl Lorrance's words, Reiner smiled, pointed to the southern lords behind him and said, "If more than half of you are injured, with their help, I really won't be afraid of you!"

"I'm doing it for your own good, don't you know? As long as I can keep half of you, with them around, the South will be impenetrable!"

"Everyone, are you willing to join forces to resist the Earl of Lorrance?" Reiner turned slightly sideways and asked the southern lords behind him.

"Naturally!" Without any surprise, these lords answered neatly.
