Black Iron Crown

"Your Majesty, the Ridka Empire is in the middle of civil strife at this time. Those people dare to offend our princess and their queen. This is undoubtedly an insult to our Bukden Kingdom!"

"We must make them pay the price and let them know that the dignity of our Kingdom of Bookeden cannot be offended. Therefore, we must help Her Royal Highness resolve this crisis!"

A vassal of King Satri stood up and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Before this, some vassals of the Kingdom of Bukeden had passed their anger. Although they said so, everyone knew their purpose.

Since you have helped you quell the rebellion, it is right for us to take away some of the benefits. We are not your slaves to be driven by you, and we always need some rewards.

"Yes, Your Majesty, no matter what, our princess cannot suffer such humiliation. We are Her Highness's backing!"

They are well aware of the situation facing the Ridka Empire. Countless businessmen come and go, and everyone is very well informed.

Looking at his vassals who were eager to try, King Satri clapped his hands and laughed: "Very well, since that's the case, then we will send troops in a month to rescue my dear daughter!"

King Satri gave an order, and the entire Bukeden Kingdom began to prepare. The lords quickly returned to the territory and began to raise food and grass, and prepare the army for war.

It is worth mentioning that the territory of the Kingdom of Bukeden is not large, and because the cost of supporting the army is too high, each lord does not have a large standing army.

They are currently recruiting mercenaries everywhere, which has always been the fighting method of the Bookeden Kingdom.

Most of those mercenaries were outlaws, either small-scale mercenary regiments or lone wandering knights.

As the king of the Kingdom of Bukden, King Satley only has a standing army of more than 800 people, but the wealth stored in his palace allows him to immediately raise 5,000 elite mercenaries.

The first day of June, the twenty-seventh year of the Empire.

The lords of the Bukeden Kingdom have already gathered their troops in Pimon City and are ready to set off.

They assembled a total of 3,000 regular troops and 7,000 mercenaries, and everyone was wearing iron armor and holding spears and swords, and the equipment was very well equipped.

It has to be said that the wealth of the Bookeden Kingdom is indeed unimaginable for the Ridka Empire.

"Your Majesty, our warriors are also ready, and they are eagerly waiting for your order!"

War warriors are a unique unit of the Bukden Kingdom, in fact, they are similar to the knights of the Ridka Empire and the Northern Kingdom.

However, because there is a shortage of horses in the south, even if there are horses, they are all small camel horses. Even if you spend a lot of money to buy good horses from the north and bring them to the Kingdom of Bookern for breeding, their offspring will soon degenerate and become as short as the south. A bad horse that is similar to a horse, or even worse.

Therefore, those professional soldiers who have been trained since childhood can only be used as elite heavy infantry, known as war warriors.

King Satri supported a total of three hundred war warriors. Although they were not as tall as the northerners, they were extremely stout and powerful, wearing double-layer iron armor and double-layer inner lining.

King Satri was wearing a gorgeous golden armor, and he was riding a tall horse bought from the north. Several followers with snake-wrapped white rose banners followed behind him, looking majestic.

"Rescue your princess! Take away your reward! Aim at the capital of the Ridka Empire, let's go!" King Satri drew out the long sword at his waist and shouted. Twelve thousand soldiers began to move towards the north. March.

After walking for about seven days, they had left the border of the Kingdom of Bukeden and entered the southern territory of Ridka.

First of all, they entered the territory of Earl Lorrance and others. Their territory was relatively close to the south, so they had some exchanges with the lords of the Bookden Kingdom and maintained a good relationship.

After inquiring about the other party's purpose and confirming that they were not targeting themselves and the others, they happily allowed the army of the Bukden Kingdom to pass through their territory to trouble the northerners.

Not only were they not angry at the Bukden Kingdom's crossing of the border, but they were also happy that they were attacking Reiner.

Although the two sides have ceased fighting, in the final analysis, the hatred has been forged.

Earl Lorrance was defeated by Reiner one after another. He already hated Reiner to the bone, so he was naturally happy to see such things come to fruition.

However, when they continued to go further north, they encountered a pro-Leiner faction headed by Earl Creek.

After asking about the other party's purpose, Earl Creek was not worried.

He knew that it was now a critical moment for his son-in-law, and if these people intervened at this time, it would obviously have an impact on it.

However, even though Earl Crick thought so, he acted very sincerely. The queen was the princess of the Kingdom of Bookern, and the intention of these people could not be more obvious.

If they don't want the opponent to pass through their territory, then the only way they can do it is to level themselves and then pass.

Although he very much hoped that his son-in-law could gain power so that he could enjoy a lot of benefits, the premise of all the benefits was that his family and territory still existed.

If the family and the territory are all destroyed, no matter how great the benefits are, what is the use.

Therefore, Earl Creek did not hesitate to send the army of the Kingdom of Bookern away.

But he still had a conscience, and he couldn't bear to cheat his own son-in-law. The day before the army of the Kingdom of Bookern left Fort Creek, he had already sent several messengers, each with three horses, in the end. Hurry up to notify Lena who is besieging the imperial capital.

Leiner doesn't know about the affairs in the south for the time being. He just wants to conquer the castle in front of him, which symbolizes the supreme power of the empire, as soon as possible.

The three-month siege made him more and more impatient. As the saying goes, half a century is half a century away. The closer it was to success, the more restless Reiner's heart could be suppressed.

"Let the Golden Lion Guard go up!" Leiner finally couldn't bear it anymore, and threw out the most elite infantry unit in his hands.

"It's still harassment, try to avoid casualties and kill the enemy!" Although Leiner was a little irritable, he still remembered his purpose.

That is a soldier who can only be exchanged for 20 points of merit, and it will be distressing to die a Leiner.

He only has 26,000 points of merit in his hand now, which is the merit accumulated from several wars, and he still needs to exchange it for a resident of the Scarlet Griffon Knights.

The Golden Lion Guards were covered in heavy armor, carrying one-handed battle axes and shields, and attacked the city wall along the wooden planks of the well.

Each of them is 1.9 meters tall, like a group of steel towers, full of oppression.

"Roar!"

They let out bursts of angry roars, like wild beasts roaring, very shocking, and the defenders on the city wall hardly dared to approach.

In this way, they ascended the city wall without hindrance.
