Black Iron Crown

That's right, the siege battle that lasted for three full months not only did not bring the slightest benefit to Leiner and others, but also consumed a lot of food and arrows, and the loss was not small.

If he didn't get something from those people in the imperial capital to make up for the loss, Leiner would not be reconciled anyway.

So, Leiner led the lords directly to the front of the city wall, out of the range of the enemy's arrows.

"Call Earl Redmara and your queen out!" Reiner shouted loudly, his voice echoing on the battlefield.

A moment later, Earl Redmara appeared on the city wall. He supported the battlements with both hands and replied, "I'm here, what's the matter with you?"

"That's right! As a member of the Moreland family! The lord of the Ridcar Empire! I can't bear to see the imperial capital built by the Moreland family with painstaking efforts and the residents inside the city walls suffer such suffering! For this reason, we are willing to forgive You and the queen once, I hope you can do less treacherous things in the future, as long as we can do this, we will withdraw our troops immediately!"

Count Redmara listened to Reiner's words, his eyes rolled around, and he quickly thought about the meaning of Reiner's words.

"You are right, the benevolent Grand Duke of the North, Reiner, innocent residents should not be victims of war. For their sake, we are willing to give up holding you accountable. Now as long as you retreat, we will never hold you accountable!"

Earl Redmara has already figured out the joints. At the beginning, the father of Frante was the Earl Creek in the south. If the Kingdom of Bookeden had entered the border of the empire, Earl Creek would definitely send him to the country immediately. The news came to him, and it now seemed clear that he had made his choice.

As a result, Earl Redmara became confident and dared to say such words arrogantly.

Reiner frowned slightly, although he had already planned to retreat, but he still couldn't bear such irony.

"Don't confuse Earl Redmara! I hope you can face up to your mistakes and admit them, and at the same time promise that you will never make them again. I hope we can have a negotiation on this matter!"

Reiner has made his purpose very clear, but it is a pity that Earl Redmara is not willing to follow his wish.

"Negotiations are unnecessary. As long as you retreat, your disobedience will not be prosecuted. This is the kindness of His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress!"

Reiner's expression became ugly at this moment, and Earl Jollal even cursed directly.

The royal lords are also filled with righteous indignation.

"Count Redmara, since you are still so obsessed, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"

With that said, Leiner beat his horse and left angrily, returned to the camp and directly gave the order to attack the city.

This time it's not just a war of attrition like before, Leiner has to accept his own negotiations if he wants to fight them.

The Scarlet Griffin Knights left their horses, ready to climb the city wall with their long swords eagerly.

With the help of their companions, the Golden Lion Guards also put on the four layers of armor one after another, picked up their one-handed battle axes and round shields and sat on the ground waiting for the start of the battle.

Seeing the army waiting in full force below the city wall, Earl Redmara's heart sank to the bottom, but since he had already said what he said just now, there was no reason to repeat it.

He could only tell the guards on the city wall with a solemn face to guard against death, and absolutely not let the enemy break through the city wall.

"Woo..." The deep copper horn sounded from below the city wall, resounding throughout the battlefield, which announced the beginning of a full-scale attack.

The well rail creaked again under the push of the infantry, and slowly approached the city wall of the imperial capital.

The Scarlet Griffin Knights and the Golden Lion Guards were eager to try inside the Jinglan, while the Merland sergeants were silent, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

"Throwing!" The chiefs of the crossbowmen and archers shouted loudly, and the arrows that covered the sky flew up the city wall again.

But the defenders on the city wall couldn't all hide under the battlements. They had to allocate part of their troops to defend against the infantry's attack.

Soon, the Scarlet Griffin Knight and the Golden Lion Guard charged up the city wall.

The defenders on the city wall have already made preparations, and many soldiers have battle axes, maces, halberds or hammers in their hands.

They are all heavy weapons that can cause damage to heavy armor. Once a hammer of three or four kilograms is blown down, even if the Golden Lion Guards wearing four-layer armor really love a hammer, I am afraid they will suffer under this kind of attack. .

However, they are veterans with rich combat experience and will do everything they can to avoid this from happening.

The Scarlet Griffin Knights had just climbed onto the city wall, and they were greeted with countless blows from the defenders.

"Peng!"

Earl Valas' shield was deflected, but it blocked him from a slamming hammer.

With a backhand long sword swing, he slashed at the enemy's shoulder, and then pierced into the weak point of the opponent's armor with another sword.

Earl Valas pulled out his long sword at an extremely fast speed, blood sprayed out instantly, and then he turned his target again to the next enemy soldier.

The fighting style of the Golden Lion Guard was completely different from that of the Scarlet Griffin Knights. They swung the battle axes in their hands wide and wide, and the enemy's long sword or spear attacks were completely ignored by them.

Let the opponent stab him, but he was unharmed.

And then, what greeted the enemy was the sweep of the battle axe. A layer of chain armor could not effectively defend against the blow of the battle axe. It was easily cut through like paper.

Although the enemies had heavy weapons in their hands, they were not really elites rolling on the battlefield after all. Their combat skills were not the same as those of the Scarlet Griffin Knight and the Golden Lion Guard.

Two minutes into the battle, only one scarlet griffin knight was hit in the liver by the enemy's hammer, and had to stagger and run down the city wall.

The small-scale loss could not change the overall situation. The two elite troops cleared a lot of space on the city wall like sharp knives, and Sergeant Morland and soldiers rushed to the top of the city like a tide along the well.

Earl Redmara couldn't help being very annoyed when he saw the retreating soldiers, and at the same time panicked.

"Knights! Where are the knights? Heavy cavalry! Go up to me! You must not let them occupy the city wall!" Earl Redmara shouted loudly from behind holding a long sword. Once the city wall fell, it would be too late.

He began to feel remorse in his heart. If he hadn't been so arrogant just now, maybe the two sides would not have developed to this point.

The knights and heavy cavalry went up with heavy weapons in their hands. Their combat experience was not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers, which made the offensive momentum of Leiner's army suddenly stagnant.

However, they were still no match for Scarlet Griffon Knights and Golden Lion Guards, they just slowed down their attack speed.
