Black Iron Crown

A total of ten towering well rails have been assembled, and they stayed in the north for so long, basically because of these siege equipment.

With these siege equipment, no matter how tall the city walls of the imperial capital are, they are nothing more than a turtle in an urn.

The ten wells can accommodate more than 400 archers. Reiner's Winter Crossbowmen have been exchanged for 100 people by him. Their shooting speed and power are not comparable to any arms in this era. of.

Leiner had put his best hope of attacking the city on them. After all, he was really reluctant to attack the city with infantry.

More than 400 arrows were poured onto the city wall in the dark. There were not many defenders at night, so the casualties to the enemy were not large, but even so, the screams spread throughout the entire city wall.

Reiner sat in the middle of the tent, and Earl Jollal and Earl Princeton sat among them.

"So, the so-called Emperor Qing's side is actually restoring Merland Zhengshuo, am I right?" The Earl of Pushton looked at Reiner with burning eyes, as if trying to see through his true thoughts.

The scrutiny eyes of Reiner and the Earl of Princeton met, and the two sides were tit for tat and refused to give in to each other.

"That's right, the bastard doesn't deserve to be in that seat of glory!"

Reiner didn't have any shyness, and said straightforwardly.

Seeing the increasingly strange atmosphere between the two, Earl Jollal couldn't help feeling extremely anxious, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only look at the two worriedly.

"So? If the bastard is pulled down, who should be the new emperor?" The Earl of Pushton also did not shy away from it at all, and stated the question in his heart clearly.

Reiner smiled, and said without hesitation: "I am currently the highest title in the Moreland family. At the same time, I am the only one who can protect the members of the Moreland family. I think no one else is qualified for this throne except me!"

The Earl of Preston did not speak immediately after hearing Reiner's words, but stared closely at Reiner's eyes.

Reiner was not to be outdone, and also looked into the eyes of the Earl of Princeton, confronting each other.

The air is suffocating at this moment.

Qiao Laer looked at the two of them like this. Although he had a rough temperament, he was not a reckless man who knew nothing about the world. He understood what the throne of the emperor meant to everyone.

After the two looked at each other,

The Earl of Pushton nodded: "If you become the emperor, you can indeed guarantee our interests and maintain the glory of the empire."

The atmosphere of silence was broken, and Leiner finally laughed: "Don't worry, I will definitely guarantee your interests, and the glory of the empire will bloom even more wonderfully in my hands!"

No one knew that the future of the empire had already been decided in this small tent. This was just an ordinary night, and it was only recorded in the history books that today was the day when the imperial capital was under siege.

Under the protection of the Jinglan, the Winter crossbowman shot towards the city wall very obscenely, and the enemy's archers also counterattacked.

And because the height of the well fence is slightly higher than the city wall, they have an advantage in the process of shooting each other, and for a while the defenders in the city were enraged.

Today's attack was just a demonstration. After a few shots at each other, the Winter Crossbowmen stopped and prepared to recharge their batteries for the next day's battle.

However, for the upstarts in the conference hall of the Tesca Palace, today is a sleepless night.

The dim oil lamp flickered on and off, illuminating the conference hall in a miserable way, and the upstarts sat on chairs with sad faces, helpless.

The queen's willow eyebrows were tightly frowned, and she was holding the ignorant little emperor by the hand. The little emperor was innocent and completely unaware that his position was being challenged. Two pairs of green pupils stared at everyone.

He caressed his mother's arm mischievously, hoping that she could play with him as usual.

However, how could the empress at this time be in the mood to play with him, it was at a time when she was very anxious, and the actions of the little emperor just added fuel to the fire.

The queen shook her arm violently, and the little emperor was immediately thrown to the ground. He was stunned, and then wept loudly.

As a noble emperor, when had he ever been treated like this? Everyone in the imperial capital respected him, and all the servants served him carefully, for fear of offending the queen.

However, his usually invincible weapon has lost its effect at this moment, and no one comes to coax him. If it is normal, as soon as he cries, servants will immediately bring many toys to coax him.

But now all the lords are frowning, how could they care about the life and death of the little emperor.

Even the queen pulled him up from the ground with an annoyed look on his face.

"Shut up! Stop crying!"

Hearing the queen's scolding, the little emperor was stunned for a moment, he even forgot to cry, he had never seen such a mother.

For a while, the crying became louder.

In this way, the night passed amidst the cries of the Emperor of the Empire.

Early morning of April 3rd, 27th year of the Empire.

The upstarts who hadn't slept all night all boarded the city wall, frowning and looking at the enemy army below the city wall.

At this time, the army under Leiner's command was on the move, and did not immediately set up a formation to attack the city.

However, no one would think that the enemy did not intend to attack the city after seeing a full twenty wells standing outside.

Reiner was dressed in gorgeous iron armor, with the Earls of Princeton and Jollal following him, and the vassals and royal lords of Reiner slowly approached the city wall of the imperial capital behind him.

Reiner stopped his horse outside the range of the bow and arrow, and shouted loudly: "Where is the Earl of Redmara! The Grand Duke of the Northern Territory, Reiner Merland, asks you to come out and answer!"

In an instant, Reiner seemed to be the center of the whole world.

A warm current flowed through Reiner's body, and this feeling of being watched by everyone was really intoxicating.

A moment later, Count Redmara appeared on the city wall.

Looking at the familiar figures below, he couldn't help but took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "I am the Earl of Redmara! I don't know what the Grand Duke Rainer is doing to bring the army to the imperial capital!"

The voices of both sides were carried by soldiers one by one, each knowing that his Grand Duke was talking to the enemy ahead.

"Earl Redmara! I don't plan to say anything to you, you know what you have done!"

"And I and the members of the Molanders behind me are very dissatisfied with the tyranny of the Queen and the upstarts! You hijacked His Majesty the Emperor for your own personal gain and violated the interests of the nobles! The dignity of the Molander family was thrown under your feet and trampled at will. !"

"What I want to tell you today is that you must hand over that damn queen with ulterior motives!"

"as well as……"

Reiner read a string of names of the upstarts, but not all of them. This was also one of his methods to divide the upstarts.

Of course, Reiner doesn't have much hope for the success of this approach, it's always good to be able to disgust the opponent.

"As long as you hand over these people and return the rights to the noble and supreme son of Emperor Kafeet, His Majesty the current emperor, we will lead the army back to the territory immediately!"

Reiner deliberately emphasized the identity of the "son" of the little emperor's "son" of Calfeet, in order to prepare for the following actions.
