Black Iron Crown

Leiner carried quite a lot of food. Before that, he was ready for a protracted war. Even if the imperial capital was besieged for a year, there would be no problem at all.

But now that there are so many civilians in the team, it is a problem if they want to last longer.

What's more, the current situation does not allow him to take more people back to the northern border. The army of the Bukden Kingdom will arrive at the imperial capital at some point, and Leiner is worried that the group of people in the imperial capital will tear up the agreement and take them with them. The opponent came to chase him.

Now that he has given up the idea of ​​conquering the imperial capital, there is no need to conflict with the opponent, not to mention losing his own strength, and he will not get any benefits.

In this way, this huge team marched to the north in a mighty manner, and the speed of the march was seriously slowed down for a while, and many trivial matters would delay a lot of time, so that it would be incredible to be able to march 20 kilometers a day speed up.

July 15th, Year 27 of the Empire.

A huge team appeared 20 kilometers south of the imperial capital.

At the very center of the procession were many banners of snake-wrapped white roses. This was the royal family of the Kingdom of Bukeden, the heraldic banner of King Satri.

At this time, the imperial capital was gloomy and gloomy. The upstarts finally sent Leiner and the others away with a lot of blood, and now another group of people came.

Although they knew that forcing Rainer to leave was not because of their payment, but because of these reinforcements from the south.

But now, these reinforcements have become a trouble for the upstarts.

Naturally, it is impossible for these large armies to travel in vain. Even if there is no war when they arrive here, they must be sent back with benefits.

Bleeding twice in a row is like cutting flesh on the bodies of the upstarts and the royal family.

Countless heraldic flags with different patterns creaked in the autumn wind, and they began to set up camp five kilometers away from the city wall of the imperial capital.

At the same time, the envoys from the imperial capital also came to the camp of the Kingdom of Bukden.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress has invited you and your vassals into the palace. Your Majesty has prepared a sumptuous banquet to welcome you!" a court baron said respectfully in a fine attire.

King Satri exchanged glances with his vassals, then said with a smile: "That's great, I haven't seen my daughter for so long,

I miss her so much too and I can't wait to meet her! "

The rest of the vassals also echoed, it was a warm scene of fatherly kindness and daughterly filial piety.

King Satri led his vassals on horseback and followed the envoy to the front of the city wall of the imperial capital.

At this time, the city wall of the imperial capital was already devastated, and countless potholes were scattered all over the city wall. These were all masterpieces of trebuchets.

King Satri couldn't help smacking his lips when he saw such a miserable city wall.

He had also been to the imperial capital of the Ridka Empire. At that time, he was defeated by the army led by the old emperor and came to the imperial capital to sign a peace agreement.

At that time, he was almost astonished after seeing such a towering and majestic city wall, because even in the wealthy Bookeden Kingdom, it was almost impossible to build such a towering and majestic city wall.

What he didn't expect was that after more than ten years, this inviolable, almost god-created great building had become like this, and was besieged by his own people.

After seeing the majestic face on the walls of the imperial capital, all the lords of the Bukeden Kingdom, including King Satri, re-acquainted with this once great empire.

After entering the imperial capital, the interior of the imperial capital was completely presented in the eyes of everyone in the Kingdom of Bukeden.

Although the imperial capital at this time has undergone a month of recuperation, it still looks jittery and looks extremely depressed.

The wide street that used to be bustling with people jostling shoulder to shoulder is almost deserted, even if some citizens occasionally appear, they just pass by in a hurry.

He was ushered to the front of Tesca Palace, where the empress and the upstarts had been waiting here for a long time.

Their current strength is extremely weak. The huge regular army formed by the imperial capital had suffered heavy losses during the Northern War and the defense of the imperial capital. Now there are less than 3,000 people left.

It is an eternal truth that people who are not as strong as others naturally have to be arrogant and respectful.

"My dear father, you are finally here. I miss you all these years!"

At this time, the queen is no longer the little girl she was when she married the old emperor. Although her affection for her father is still strong, it will inevitably change after being mixed with rights and interests.

King Satri was also very excited when he saw his daughter. Although he came here for profit this time, he still had feelings for his daughter.

The two hugged each other, and after a while, King Satri took a closer look at his daughter.

"My daughter, you are becoming more and more beautiful. It seems that you have lived happily these years. I am very sorry for your husband's death, but I hope you can continue to be strong!"

After speaking, he turned to look at the little emperor timidly hiding behind the queen, and said with a laugh: "This is my dear grandson, he is such a cute little guy!"

The little emperor shrank back in fright from King Satri, and hurriedly forgot to hide behind the queen.

"Shy little guy!" King Satri smiled kindly, and the vassals behind him also laughed, but there were obviously ulterior motives in the laughter.

The queen's face was slightly ugly, but she didn't explode on the spot, but smiled and invited her father to enter the palace.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, King Satri and the others entered the Teska Palace together.

Numerous servants shuttle back and forth in the corridors, holding all kinds of delicacies in their hands, whether it is rare fish from the southern ocean or forest beasts from the northern dense forest, they are all cooked by skilled chefs here. delicious food.

All the way into the banquet hall, the inside is already full of rich aromas, the aromas of food, spices, and various fine wines have gathered into an incomparably alluring atmosphere.

Everyone filed in and confirmed their seats according to their status.

There is only the main seat, and there is no master yet.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall became weird, and all the lords were staring at the queen and King Satri.

The atmosphere became deadlocked like this, and even King Satri did not speak.

After a while, the queen gritted her teeth, forced a smile and said, "Carter is still young, and I am a woman. Who else is worthy of this position except you, Father?"

Carter Moreland is the name of the little emperor. Of course, it may be more appropriate for this name to be called Carter Redmara.

"That's not good, I'm not the emperor of the empire after all!" King Satri declined with a smile.

"Don't say that, my father, as Carter's grandfather, there is no dispute that you take this position!"

"Alright then..." Just like that, King Satri walked slowly towards the luxurious and spacious throne.

According to the convention, this is a position that only the emperor or empress is qualified to sit in, which is almost equal to the imperial power.

In this way, under the witness of the vassals of the two countries, and under the humiliating eyes of the queen, King Satri took this position.
