Black Iron Crown

In the conference hall, the quiet needle dropping could be heard, except for everyone's breathing, there was no sound.

Listening to Leiner's words, the lord who asked the question fell silent, and all the lords were also silent. He didn't dare to publicly oppose Leiner's opinion, but he didn't want to expose the corruption of his army to himself. In front of Feng Jun.

Subsequently, Reiner set his sights on the Earl of Antal, the son of the Grand Duke of Mabula, and his successor.

After becoming a vassal of Rainer, the Earl of Antares voluntarily gave up his duke title and became the Earl of Antares in order to show respect and not overstep.

The Earl of Antares seemed very embarrassed at this time. Although he was not very worried that the military exercise would reveal his army's true colors, he still didn't really want to stand up and publicly express his consent.

If he did so, the rest of the lords would have objections to him, and he didn't want the relationship with his colleagues to be too rigid.

But in the same way, he didn't want to be suspected by his lord and leave a bad impression on Reiner.

At this time, all eyes were on him, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind, nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, this is a very good way, I support your proposal!"

"boom……"

There was an uproar in the hall, these lords cursed the talkative Earl of Antal in a low voice, such voices gathered into a torrent.

The Earl of Preston narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced at Reiner, who only nodded with a smile.

The Earl of Preston turned his eyes elsewhere, and Earl Jollal also noticed the eye contact between the two, but remained silent while thinking.

The Earl of Antal was also extremely bitter in his heart. He was in distress now, and it was not the plan he proposed, but these lords kept their anger on him.

At the same time, through this incident, the rest of the lords will also think that a direct descendant of His Majesty the Grand Duke has appeared among them, but he himself does not know whether he can really become a real confidant.

This kind of notoriety for not getting benefits, and the feeling that he is not human inside and out makes him full of depression.

"Very good! Very good!" Reiner laughed and said, "Since Count Antal said the same thing, then I understand what you mean, let your soldiers prepare, and the military exercise will officially start in two days! "

After finishing speaking, Reiner left the meeting hall, leaving only the anxious lords scratching their heads.

"How is it?" After Reiner returned to his room, Frante took the coat he had taken off and asked.

"They agreed, how dare they disagree?" Reiner said with a smile.

"Are you really going to not save any face for them?"

"Save face?" Reiner sat on the bed with a sneer, and said, "I save face for them, they make it hard for me!"

"I originally planned to carry out the coronation next year, but since I saw their army, I understand that at least next year is impossible. How can I save face for them if they do this?"

"The war hasn't ended yet, and the swords and guns were sent to Kuma and released to Nanshan. If I save face for them, I guess I won't be able to be crowned for the rest of my life!"

As he said that, Reiner lay on the bed and looked at the pattern on the ceiling, sighed and said, "The little emperor is already twelve years old this year, and it will be even harder to pull him down if we keep dragging him down!"

"I have to let Dethan have a title of emperor to inherit in the future!" Reiner murmured.

Speaking of Dethanon, Reiner sat up from the bed, he hadn't seen him for three days.

"How is Desean now? I've been too busy these three days to accompany him at all!" Reiner looked at Farrant and asked.

"He's fine, but maybe you should really accompany him. He's learning noble etiquette and characters from the etiquette instructor in the palace and me."

"He is almost five years old this year, and he should start exercising his body next year. You should find him a martial arts instructor!" Frante glanced at Reiner, and he was very sorry for Reiner's neglect of Dethanon. is dissatisfaction.

"Okay, don't worry, I absolutely support you on Dethan's education. I have already thought about his martial arts teacher!"

Reiner thought in his heart, is there a more suitable martial arts instructor than Earl Valas? Who can be stronger than Count Valas?

Two days passed quickly, and Leiner had already conveyed the specific situation of the military exercise.

The lords first draw lots to compete against each other. After several rounds of elimination, the remaining five lords' armies will compete with Leiner's army.

The number of people in the game is based on the side with fewer people. For example, if one side has 100 troops and the other has 120 troops, then both sides can only send 100 troops to participate in the battle.

At noon, the sun hangs high, and the autumn sun near winter is not harsh, and the temperature is very cool.

On a plain ten kilometers north of Mecaron City, these lords led their troops along the road and waited for the start of the game.

In the morning, the opponents of the competition had been determined by drawing lots, and these lords began to prepare for the competition.

The person in the first match was Earl Jollal, and his opponent was a baron named Hamar, who was one of the most outstanding members of the Murand family in the northern border, who was canonized as the lord by Reiner, and was also a blood relative One of the nobility.

Baron Hamar has 80 troops. His territory is not large, and because he is sealed in Beijing, his population is not large. Naturally, there are not many real full-time professional soldiers.

Therefore, Earl Choral selected two relatively strong brigades from his army to compete with Earl Hamar.

Earl Choral's army was relatively neat, and this group of people was also wearing iron armor and holding wooden swords wrapped in leather with white ash on the outside, or gun barrels that had no gun heads but were wrapped in thick leather with white ash in their hands.

Even the bows of the archers are soft and weak ordinary hunting bows, and the arrows are also covered with several layers of white gray leather.

In the final analysis, military exercises are military exercises. Reiner can allow some people to suffer minor injuries during the game, but no casualties are allowed. This is a military exercise, not a battle, and he does not want non-combat attrition.

As long as the vital parts are stained with white ash, they must withdraw from the battle. This is a rigid requirement issued by Reiner.

Rainer and the army are also gathered here, but more soldiers are guarding around.

This time, Reiner does not allow civilians to watch the military exercise. The military parade is meant to be displayed, and the more people who watch it, the better.

However, this kind of military exercise that exposes the true strength of the army is not acceptable, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of these vassals is corrupt. Leiner is worried that their performance will affect the sense of security of the residents.

Before the start of the game, both sides have a time to arrange their troops, but their formation is very simple, just a simple square formation.

Leiner looked at the two sides who were ready, and with a wave of his right hand, he gave the order to start the game.
