Black Iron Crown

After Rainer made a decision, intensive preparations began for the entire northern border. Countless supplies were transported to Mecaron City, and the main buildings in the castle were decorated with a lot of ribbons.

The royal lords were shocked when they heard the news that Reiner was about to become independent. Although they had not obeyed the orders of the imperial capital for a long time, when someone really declared independence, the shock brought to them was still immeasurable. .

Rainer was not too hypocritical, but sent a letter to each of the royal lords, inviting them to join him independently and become his vassals.

By this time, Reiner's ambitions were clearly revealed, even the royal lords who had no political vision, they understood Reiner's thoughts.

Regarding Leiner's ambition, these royal lords hesitated, after all, the little emperor was still sitting on the throne, not to mention that he was still the "natural son" of the old emperor.

Pulling down the old emperor's son made everyone feel uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the Queen and Earl Redmara's rebellion, it would be treasonous if Reiner made such a move. It is estimated that these royal lords themselves would send troops to crusade against Reiner.

But after all, what the imperial capital has done is too much, and the little emperor is still under the control of the queen and Earl Redmara. Know if you should become a vassal of Reiner.

Therefore, except for a few people who were extremely dissatisfied with the imperial capital and expressed their willingness to pledge allegiance to Reiner, all the lords of the royal family only said that they were willing to attend on the day when Reiner was founded.

After receiving such a reply letter, Reiner was not disappointed, and he was very satisfied to have a few people directly expressing their support for him.

Anyway, it's still a long time, Leiner has a lot of ways to make the royal lords become his vassals, not to mention that he and those people have many interests to combine, Leiner believes that they will fall into his arms sooner or later.

At the same time, the gentry and self-cultivators in the middle of the empire who had their properties taken away brought their families to the northern border after being recruited by Leiner, hoping that the Grand Duke of the northern border could accept him and others.

Naturally, Leiner would not let go of any power that could be used. These people were loyal to the old emperor and the empire, and their fathers were all veterans who had fought in battles. Naturally, their own fighting power would not be weak.

What's more, although Reiner is independent, no one can change his status as a descendant of the Merland family. He just gave up his allegiance to the little emperor and the royal family.

The royal family made the empire angry,

They came to the north without any psychological pressure.

"You are the most loyal subjects of the empire! I am very pleased with what you have done in the imperial capital, and at the same time, I am also very saddened by what happened to you. You are as loyal as your fathers who devoted their lives to the empire, but they ended up like this. You will get enough courtesy from me!"

"The blood of your fathers will not be shed in vain. You will get a lot of land and a rich life here. If you want, you can join my army and fight for me. I will make those damned traitors pay for it sooner or later There is a price!"

"I am willing to serve you!" Almost all the people present were passionate young people. They were wronged in the imperial capital and received such treatment in the northern border. Naturally, the indignation and anger in their hearts could not be added.

"We will join your army! We will avenge ourselves!"

"That's right!" Reiner also shouted: "They will pay the price! I must seek justice!"

So soon, Leiner handed over a large amount of idle land to them. He held a full 300,000 mu of idle land in his hands, and there were simply not enough people to cultivate it.

Each throwing away 200 acres is nothing more than handing over one-third of the idle land.

Soon, after they settled their families, they quickly entered Leiner's army and prepared to serve.

In fact, each of them has quite good physique. Although they are not as good as real knights, they are definitely much better than most soldiers, and some of them are even literate. It can be a group of excellent soldiers.

Even after going through a few battles, they could become candidates for officers, which made Leiner very happy.

In the blink of an eye, the time came to September 20th, the twenty-seventh year of the empire.

On this day, Mecaron City seemed quite lively.

The number of people in the city has reached more than 100,000, and the city of Mecaron, which has undergone two upgrades, is fully packed.

Starting from September 10th, the number of people entering Mecaron City began to increase sharply. After receiving the news, wealthy civilians from the northern border poured into the castle one after another.

As the saying goes, there is enough food in the warehouse to know etiquette. After people fill their stomachs, they will have a higher level of pursuit and thinking. This is the case for the residents of the northern border.

They began to think about their family, country, and world, and at the same time, they gradually gained a sense of honor under the brainwashing of village officials.

When His Majesty hits the growth, they will feel happy and honored, and if someone offends His Majesty, they will feel angry.

Today is the Grand Duchy's Independence Day, and they naturally don't want to miss this important day.

What's more, in this era of lack of entertainment, it is also a good pastime to be able to participate in such a grand ceremony.

The huge flow of people has also brought huge business opportunities. Countless businessmen have spotted the market in Mecaron City, and rushed into the castle with their own products to make a fortune.

The taverns in the city and the hotels are making a lot of money these days. Countless people with a bit of spare money are about to blow up their rooms, and even the citizens are taking advantage of this time to make money. Temporary hotel, small profit.

Since the four largest taverns in Mecaron City are all owned by Reiner, Reiner took advantage of this time to sell them at a discount, just to win the prize.

Most of the rest of the merchants did the same, and the commercial activities in the city were extremely frequent for a while.

"Cheers to the great Grand Duke!"

"cheers!"

In the tavern, a slightly drunk soldier raised his glass and stood on the table, shouting loudly.

It happened to be his turn to go on vacation today. He was on vacation on Independence Day, but he aroused the envy and hatred of many comrades-in-arms.

As the ceremony of declaring independence drew nearer, tens of thousands of people poured into the central square of Mecaron City.

This square is very large, and it is the place where Leiner usually assembles troops and announces things, but even so, tens of thousands of people gather here and it seems very crowded, and Leiner has to deploy troops here to maintain order.

If so many people do not maintain good order, it is easy to have a stampede.

The crowded square was very crowded, and everyone was looking forward to the high platform that had been built for a long time, waiting for Reiner's appearance.
