Black Iron Crown

Reiner's voice echoed above the city, and the upstarts whose names were read couldn't help but curse after hearing it.

However, the eyes of the upstarts whose names were not pronounced are rolling, and the eyes of the upstarts whose names are being pronounced are becoming more and more strange.

"It's not impossible..." an upstart said in a low voice.

Another upstart next to him whose name had been read immediately glared at him.

Just when he was about to yell and curse, he found that some people beside him were nodding slightly.

For a moment, the atmosphere among the upstarts became extremely weird, and the upstarts whose names had been read subconsciously grasped the hilts of their swords.

Regarding such a situation, Earl Redmara couldn't help being furious. He didn't bother to reply to Reiner's words, so he said angrily to these upstarts: "Don't dream, that damned Grand Duke Reiner just wants us to have internal strife ! Don’t you think it’s enough to just send out a few scapegoats? Impossible!”

"You guys know exactly what we've done these years, but people from the Merland family have long wanted to tear us to pieces! They just want to cause conflicts among us!"

The words of Earl Redmara awakened these upstarts. Although they were lacking in the overall situation, it was only caused by lack of sufficient education and insight, and they were no strangers to these small conspiracies.

But even so, there is still some suspicion among the upstarts, whoever is planned to be betrayed will not be indifferent, and will not put 100% trust in it.

Earl Redmara knew this, but there was no way to remedy it. He could only continue to communicate with Reiner.

"This is impossible! Grand Duke Reiner, you must be clear that we have not done anything disobedient! We have been trusted by His Majesty because of our loyalty. This is just a reward for our loyalty, and you, as His Majesty's relatives, do not want to Paying loyalty to His Majesty, but bringing the army to His Majesty's imperial capital, you are the real rebels!"

Earl Redmara categorically rejected what Reiner said before, and his rhetoric was equally high-sounding.

"In this case, Earl Redmara, you are still so eloquent and not sure about admitting your crime! Then I can only send you to the gallows to repent after breaking through the city wall! You and your henchmen Will endure the burning flames of countless years in hell!"

Earl Redmara looked at the royal lords in the city angrily, and shouted angrily: "Shoot the arrow!"

for a moment,

Nearly a thousand arrows flew down from the arrow tower on the city wall, making a sharp piercing sound.

But it's a pity that Leiner and the others stood outside the range of the bow and arrow. Although a few arrows flew close, they all fell to the ground weakly.

There was a little commotion among the royal lords, and Reiner shouted at the city wall: "Since you don't cherish the honor of nobles so much, then we won't honor you either! Get ready to go to war!"

After finishing speaking, Leiner rode back to his own army formation.

Twenty well rails have been neatly placed in front of the city wall of the imperial capital, behind which are twenty trebuchets lined up, and behind three rams are followed by more than a dozen soldiers who are ready to move.

"Archers shoot! Catapults fire!"

Reiner drew out the long sword at his waist and shouted loudly.

Achievement is today!

On the other side, in the western border of the Ridka Empire, the Kingdom of Bazalan is leading its own army to plunder unscrupulously.

Twelve baronies have been breached by them, twelve castles have been almost razed to the ground, and the spoils of war are piled up like mountains.

Although they tried their best to block the news, the news of the neighboring country's invasion still spread in the western border.

The lords in the west also turned over the royal family at the beginning, but they surrendered without a fight after seeing the defeat of the southern lords, which shows their fighting power and fighting will.

The lords in the west hurriedly collected properties from all over the country, and transferred all the troops to the castle to guard against the enemy's attack.

In addition, they also sent messengers to the imperial capital, hoping that their lord would send a large army to support them.

However, what they don't know is that the imperial capital at this time is already in danger, so there is still strength to support them?

King Emalu sat in the middle of the tent, drinking the looted wine from a gold cup, looking at his vassals in a happy mood.

"Haha, I just said that we will get countless wealth here! What do you think?"

His vassals couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, and raised their glasses to toast King Emalu.

Even the old king's old department was like this. The huge wealth they got had already diluted their loyalty to the old king. They now very much recognize Elmaru as the king.

In the imperial capital, the siege has lasted for half a month. In the past half month, Leiner has not sent soldiers to the city wall to fight the enemy hand-to-hand. It is quite good to use archers and trebuchets to consume the enemy.

Sooner or later, the defenders in the city will be unable to bear the pressure and completely collapse. In Leiner's view, it will only be four or five months. He has waited for such a long time. Is it still four or five months away?

In the meeting hall, there is still a gloomy look, and the upstarts discuss military affairs here almost every day.

At this time, the upstarts said nothing, they really couldn't think of any way, even the Earl of Redmara.

Looking at the people in the hall, the queen couldn't help but let out a long sigh, lamenting that there was no one available.

She said slowly: "The situation is critical now. Since you all have no good solution, then I must find a solution!"

After hearing the queen's words, all the upstarts turned their eyes to her in unison, waiting for her next words.

"I already ordered the messenger to go out of the city secretly to seek my father in the south of the Kingdom of Bukeden yesterday. I believe he will lead an army to the imperial capital to support us in three or four months. As long as we persist for three or four months, we will You can be saved!"

As soon as this remark came out, the upstarts couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Earl Redmara also showed surprise on his frowning face.

"Why did you forget about this? The Queen was originally the princess of the Kingdom of Bookern. Isn't it only natural to ask for her father's support now!"

Looking at everyone's expressions, the Queen's heart was full of sadness.

Although he is the princess of the Kingdom of Bukden, she is still the queen of the Ridka Empire after all, and Ridka is her real home.

Once the Kingdom of Bukeden was relieved of the crisis of the imperial capital, no one knew what would happen next. As a king, his father would never bring all his vassals with him just to rescue his daughter.

However, this is also a helpless move. If they do not seek the help of the Bookeden Kingdom, I am afraid that everyone present, including the queen, will soon face death.
