Black Iron Crown

The resentment in the hearts of these soldiers is not clear to Earl Redmara. They take it for granted that these soldiers should still obey their orders unconditionally, and dare not violate them in the slightest.

The current soldiers still have a little food to survive, so they still obey the orders of the lords.

More than 14,000 troops once again took up positions under the castle of Rolle.

This time, they could no longer put as much pressure on the enemy as they did the first time.

The successive defeats in the battle have already made the defenders in the city begin to despise these soldiers. At this time, they are waiting on the city wall for the enemy to attack the city.

Ballistas, as always, are firing towards the enemy's walls.

Just as the huge boulder bombarded the city wall with huge force, a tooth-piercing loud noise rang out from the ballista position.

After a ballista fired a huge rock, it collapsed, and the huge moment arm collapsed under the powerful kinetic energy.

Almost none of the cannon-operating soldiers around the ballista was spared, only two survived by chance, and the rest were either destroyed by the broken parts or were crushed alive by the whole ballista.

"Damn it!" King Satri didn't expect such an accident to happen, and anger surged into his heart in an instant.

"Prepare to attack!" King Satri shouted loudly, wanting to wash away the shame of this period of time.

But Lord Redmara stopped him.

"Please wait, King Satri, we shouldn't rush up now!"

"Why, we are running out of grain now. Conquering the castle will solve this problem immediately!" King Satri looked around and said softly when he saw no one was around.

"Don't worry, King Sasatli, take a closer look at the enemy's city walls. We have been hitting their walls with trebuchets for the past few days, and many cracks have appeared on these stone walls."

"The lords of the western region don't often face wars. The walls of this Fort Rohr are only three meters thick. As long as we continue to attack the enemy's walls, we can make their walls collapse!"

Seeing the city wall with many cracks, King Satri pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Thus, Jing Lan, who had just moved, retreated back to the position.

The defenders on the city wall were just about to stand out from behind the battlements to fight the enemy, but found that the enemy's well fence had retreated.

Just as they stood on the city wall and looked down at a loss, there was a whistling sound, and dozens of huge boulders collided with the city wall with incomparable power, making Fort Rohr tremble.

The soldiers hurriedly hid behind the battlements again. Several soldiers were unable to dodge in time and were injured by the splashed stones.

Not only that, there was even a soldier who was directly hit on the body by the flying stone.

Needless to say, the soldier who was hit by the body was extremely miserable. The bloody piece was almost smashed to pieces. Even the defenders on the city wall were unwilling to contain his body.

One day passed like this, and during the whole day, trebuchets and ballistas bombarded the city wall non-stop. Hundreds of boulders hit the city wall to make the cracks on it more obvious.

But in contrast, the trebuchets of the Kingdom of Bookern were about to fail, and four of them were damaged in one day. As time went by,

This number will only get bigger.

Two days passed, and the catapults and ballistas fired at the city walls uninterruptedly, making the walls of Fort Rolle crumbling.

In the coalition camp, the soldiers endured the hunger in their stomachs to patrol every day, and they became more and more impatient with the orders issued by them.

You don't even have enough to eat and still want to order me? Go to hell!

More and more soldiers are disobeying orders, and the Earl of Redmara and King Satri are also becoming more and more worried

"When will our rations arrive? Soldiers have been starving for a long time to buy computers. I'm afraid they will mutiny if this continues!"

The upstarts of the empire leaned over to Earl Redmara and asked quietly. The lords of the Kingdom of Bukeden were more eager than the upstarts.

Although the soldiers of the empire received less rations than those of the Bukden Kingdom, their risk of mutiny was not that high.

First, the status of their soldiers is high enough to bring them a lot of honor. In addition, they are all self-cultivated farmers recruited by the upstarts and the royal family from the empire, and their families are also under the control of the lords. Therefore, they did not dare to rebel and mutiny.

But the army of the Bukden Kingdom is different. The southern kingdom is rich, and their ability to endure hunger is very poor. In addition, one-third of their army is mercenaries, and they did not mutiny at all. heart burden.

As a mercenary, I worked for you for money. Now that you can't even feed me, why do you still have to work for you?

The mercenaries of the Bukden Kingdom have even begun to openly disobey.

"Hold on for a few more days! Our food will arrive soon! Wait for another three days! It only takes three days for you to have enough to eat again!"

The vassals of the Bukden Kingdom began to persuade the mercenaries and their captains in the camp.

"My lord, we are very willing to serve you, but this is the first time we have received this kind of order that can't fill our stomachs. My people are already very dissatisfied. They just want to get the commission and go back to their hometown!"

"No, at least not now. I hope you can measure me up. The military rations will arrive in three days. You are persuading your people!"

"Okay...then I want 1.5 times the commission!"

Soon, the lords of the Bukden Kingdom reached an agreement with these mercenaries, increasing the commission by 1.5 times in exchange for their continued service.

"Damn bastard, when I go back, I must form my own regular army and drive out these bastards!"

The lords of the Kingdom of Bukden were blackmailed by the mercenaries in this way, and the anger in their hearts could hardly be suppressed.

Earl Redmara sent 200 heavy cavalry along the grain road to find the grain delivery team. Their task was to keep the food delivery team and send them to the camp under the castle of Rolle.

In Fort Rolle, these soldiers became more and more worried.

They were not afraid of the enemy attacking the city, but they were worried that the city wall under their feet would collapse.

The wall of Fort Rolle was only three meters thick. Although it was usually thick enough to block all enemies, it could no longer hold on under the protracted blows of ballistas and trebuchets.

They were horrified to find that the cracks that appeared only on the outside of the city wall at first had now extended to the inside of the city wall, and stones would fall from those places just by touching them.

The lords in the city gathered together, discussing countermeasures with frowning faces.

"Otherwise, let's break through and go to His Majesty the King. Anyway, the enemy's fighting power is so weak. If we break through unexpectedly, the enemy will definitely not be able to stop us!"

The lords looked at each other, and they saw the expression of emotion in each other's eyes.
