Black Iron Crown

Reiner sat on the chair, and beside him was the Earl Redmara with a very ugly face.

The vassals of Reiner focused their attention on Earl Redmara. These people had many conflicts with him in the past. Although Earl Redmara is not a prisoner now, in the Grand Duchy of the North, he is not Qualifications are as prestige as in the imperial capital.

Earl Redmara was indeed very low-key. He looked at the spies who were desperately shouting at him and felt extremely humiliated.

He didn't care much about the lives of these people, but it was a great humiliation for Reiner to execute himself in public.

"These people have sneaked into the principality to alienate the relationship between His Majesty the Grand Duke and your lords. The heinous crime is absolutely unforgivable! According to His Majesty's judgment! They will be hanged!"

After his words fell, the residents beside the execution platform began to shout and curse. The people are all blind followers. They don't have a very clear sense of right and wrong, and they are very easy to be guided by public opinion.

But they understand that their good days were brought about by His Majesty the Grand Duke, and anyone who tries to subvert or influence His Majesty's rule is their enemy.

The shouts in the crowd were like a tide, and countless rotten vegetables, leaves, fruits, and stones were thrown onto the execution platform, and ruthlessly smashed on the dozen or so spies.

In less than a minute, their noses and faces were swollen. The power of stones and rotten fruits is not small.

"Start the execution!" After letting the citizens cast aside for a while, the executioners began to prepare for the execution.

They escorted the spies bound behind their backs to the gallows, and put nooses around their necks.

Reina's jaw had been fixed, and she was standing in front of the gallows and looking out at the group of nobles.

Standing beside Wende was Gwen, the niece of the Earl of Princeton. Wende was very "polite" and didn't hold her hand...

Wende looked at Lena below, his eyes were slightly red, and he clenched his fists tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Gwen looked at the young man beside him with a dejected expression, and said softly, "Don't be sad...this is something beyond your control!"

"Perhaps...maybe you have indeed invested a lot of affection in her, but she is a spy and she is not worth your sorrow..."

Wende looked at the girl beside him, and heaved a long sigh. He also knew that Lena was just a spy, but when he thought of that beautiful time, his heart couldn't stop the pain.

Gwen didn't say any more, but gently grabbed Wende's hand, and then looked forward again.

Lena finally found Wende among the crowd, but the noose had already been tightened. The executioner kicked the wooden stool under her feet, and her body began to fall rapidly. Then, the rope firmly stuck her body. neck.

After her body struggled violently for a while, her feet finally hung down.

After the execution is over, Earl Redmara will bid farewell to Reiner and leave the northern border.

"Don't rush away, I have prepared a wonderful military exercise for you! Didn't you send spies to find out about the situation of my army? If you really want to see it, I don't mind. Now you can see enough Already!"

Reiner said to Earl Redmara with a smile.

Earl Redmara stared at Reiner, unable to see any emotion from his expression, and said lightly: "Well, since Grand Duke Reiner is so kind,

I won't shirk it anymore, I should also learn something from the army in the northern border, and go to train the army in the imperial capital! "

"I'm so happy!" Reiner smiled meaningfully, and then left the execution ground.

Early the next morning, Reiner's army gathered outside the city of Mecaron, with 2,400 soldiers, 820 Merland sergeants, 500 archers, and 100 Winter crossbowmen. Neatly arranged into a square matrix.

Ordinary soldiers have eight regiments of 2,400 men, while Sergeant Moreland has two regiments.

In fact, at the beginning, Reiner had thought of mixing sergeants, crossbowmen, and ordinary soldiers together to form a multi-functional wing, instead of clearly dividing it into sergeant wing, infantry wing, and long-range wing as it is now.

But later Leiner discovered that such a mixed formation was of little significance. He had the idea of ​​mixing it at first because the combat effectiveness of the mixed formation was much stronger than that of a single unit.

But all along, there has never been a situation where a certain wing undertakes a certain task alone.

As long as there is a war, Leiner will lead all the troops to the battlefield, and it will be more convenient to command a certain branch of the brigade at that time, so Leiner has not made any changes.

Ninety Scarlet Griffin Knights and 360 retinues also formed a huge phalanx. The Scarlet Griffin Knights wearing half-body composite plate armor and the Scarlet Griffon retinues wearing full-body chain armor were like tigers and wolves. Generally exudes a fierce breath.

Standing on the city wall, Leiner pointed to the phalanxes in the distance, and said to Earl Redmara proudly, "How do you feel? Do you think these soldiers' combat effectiveness is still qualified?"

Earl Redmara looked in the direction that Reiner was pointing at, and saw several phalanxes that had been standing in line for more than an hour, standing still on the spot like statues made of steel.

Looking at the soldiers in front of him, and thinking about the soldiers being trained in the imperial capital, Earl Redmara shook his head with envy.

"As expected of a mighty northern warrior, I have never seen anyone comparable to him in terms of cleanliness!" Earl Redmara said in admiration.

"That's natural, not only their military appearance, but also their fighting power is unrivaled! After Earl Jollal learned that the little emperor was not the old emperor's own son, but the product of the queen's adultery with Earl Redmara, he treated the He hated it to the bone, so naturally he targeted it everywhere at this time.

"If it wasn't like this, how could we have easily defeated the army you led repeatedly!" Earl Jollal looked at Earl Redmara mockingly.

His words instantly caused a burst of laughter among the vassals, and many lords winked at Earl Redmara, their smiles were full of sarcasm.

"His Majesty...Look..."

Earl Redmara blushed, pointing angrily at the vassals under Reiner's command who didn't know what to say.

"Hey! Shut up! You are not allowed to laugh at Earl Redmara like this!" Reiner reprimanded pretendingly.

"I'm sorry Earl Redmara. I didn't expect them to be like this. They are very reserved. Generally speaking, they don't laugh out loud. They must not be able to bear it!"

As he spoke, an uncontrollable smile appeared on Reiner's own face.

Count Redmara saw that even Reiner laughed, so he couldn't say more, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.

Leiner winked at a subordinate next to him, and the subordinate immediately walked to the city wall and shouted at the cavalry below: "The phalanx begins to march! The parade begins!"
