Black Iron Crown

After getting the news, these upstarts also hurried to the meeting hall, looking at Earl Redmara in bewilderment, wanting to get a solution from him.

However, in the face of such a situation, Earl Redmara has nothing to do, the only way is to stick to the city wall.

No money, no soldiers, what else can we do.

Earl Redmara's face was livid, and everyone turned their attention to him, as if he deserved to pay the price for all of this.

Although he knows that this is a manifestation of being trusted, at this time he would rather be an unknown person.

Facing the eyes of the upstarts, Earl Redmara's face became more and more ugly. If they could give up the money, a new army would have been assembled by now, so why should they be so panicked?

At this time, there are only 6,000 soldiers in the imperial capital that can be used for defense. This was left behind by the Earl of Redmara just to be on the safe side, fearing that someone in the imperial capital would take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Now it happened to be the last straw for the imperial capital.

In this way, 6,000 soldiers were scattered and stationed on the city wall of the imperial capital, weaving the enemy to capture the city wall.

Lena and other royal lords looked at the golden lion flags with red backgrounds above them, and felt even more hatred in their hearts.

The rights that should have belonged to the Murland family have now fallen into the hands of the upstarts, and the culprit of all this is the queen!

There are about 12,000 people on the side of the royal lords, which is twice the size of the defenders in the city. Although the advantages of Leiner's troops are greatly offset by the advantage of the city wall, Leiner doesn't think that they can conquer the immediate frontier. There is nothing difficult about this emperor.

Although the city walls of the imperial capital are towering and even surpass the upgraded city of Mecaron, the city is really too big, and the sides of the city walls are also so vast.

Even if there are 6,000 defenders in the city, they can barely be fully deployed, and there is no defense density at all.

And in such a big city, the number of residents that can be accommodated in it is unimaginable. All kinds of supplies they eat and chew will be exhausted at an extremely fast speed.

Although the city wall of the imperial capital was high, in the final analysis it had lost its real defensive function and turned into a vase showing the majesty of the royal family. Its real defensive ability was about the same as that of Mecaron City.

not to mention,

At this time, Leiner did not immediately order the soldiers to attack the city.

As the saying goes, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. He is currently assembling various siege equipment, and he will not actually attack the city until everything is ready. After all, the lives of his soldiers are precious. He still can't do such a thing by taking human life to fill it.

What's more, since the reason for sending troops is the side of the high-sounding Qing emperor, it has been a long time since he has to make this name known to the world, and directly attack the city when he comes up, which is not in line with the rules.

At least let the city know that I am here only to eradicate traitors. After handing over the traitors or their corpses, we will retreat immediately, and no one will be affected.

Of course, these words are actually no different from farting. Those so-called traitors are nothing more than the upstarts and queens, as well as the Earl of Redmara.

But that's what Reiner wants. I've already said that no one will be affected after Qing Dynasty's side. Since you refuse, I have no choice but to attack the city.

Although the Ridka Empire doesn't pay much attention to masters and fame, such words are indeed more acceptable.

Several soldiers with loud voices wore heavy armor and approached the city wall, shouting loudly, and told them the purpose of their trip.

After hearing this, the soldiers felt embarrassed and complained a little, but they didn't show it, and hurriedly sent someone into the Tesca Palace to summon them.

In the conference hall of Tesca Palace, the upstarts were discussing how to deal with it, and when they heard these words, there was an instant uproar.

The upstarts angrily scolded the royal lords outside the city, among which Reiner received the most greetings.

Leiner didn't know how the city would make a decision. He was directing the soldiers to set up camp, put tents one by one outside the city walls of the imperial capital, and then put Juma next to the camp to guard against the enemy's surprise attack.

At this time, the camp has initially shown an outline, and each craftsman is quickly assembling the siege equipment.

Five well rails with a height of 20 meters have been erected in the camp, and more than a dozen catapults have also been assembled and are being debugged.

The tortoise shell-like punching car is the strongest assembled, and even has a lot of iron structures, what is needed is weight and impact force.

Earl Jollal stood beside Reiner, and the two looked up at the imperial city wall in front of them together.

"We are finally going to restore the glory of the Merland family!" Earl Choral said with a long sigh and a little melancholy.

Lena didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

"At the beginning, I really didn't expect that our mighty Ridka Empire, the mighty Merland family would be reduced to this point one day..."

Rainer couldn't help sighing, Earl Jollal was right, how powerful the empire was when the old emperor was in power, and even the mighty grasslands were subject to regular raids.

And the countries around the empire were beaten miserably, no one or country dared to compete with the empire.

But in just a few years, the empire has weakened to this point.

The Earl of Preston walked over slowly, looked into the eyes of the two of them and said, "I know you guys kept something from me before, but now that we're in the imperial capital, you should tell me, right?"

Earl Jollal was about to speak, but he realized that this matter was a big deal, so he hurriedly turned his attention to Reiner.

Facing the gaze of the Earl of Princeton, Reiner couldn't help but hesitate a bit, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Indeed, this matter can no longer be kept a secret from you!"

The Earl of Preston pursed his lips and looked at Rainer.

"The current little emperor is not a member of our Merland family, but the product of the queen's adultery with Earl Redmara!"

Reiner looked into the eyes of the Earl of Preston, and said word by word.

However, to the surprise of Rainer and Earl Jollal, the Earl of Preston did not show any shock or surprise after hearing the news, and his face remained calm.

Looking at the expressions of the two, the Earl of Preston explained with a smile: "I have already guessed, we all have yellow hair.

Even if there is a slight difference in hair color, it is absolutely impossible to have red hair, not to mention that I vaguely heard you guys discussing this when we met, and I already had some guesses in my mind! "

That night, the well fence and the catapult had been assembled, so Leiner immediately ordered the archers to mount the well fence and shoot at the enemy, while the catapult suppressed the enemy with firepower.
