Black Iron Crown

Chapter 575 Provocation

While these armies waited eagerly for the arrival of the residents, a black crowd finally appeared on the horizon.

"Get ready to welcome! Your Majesty's people are here!" The two captains said with their hands above their eyes, and looked out.

After these soldiers immediately assembled the whole team, they walked towards the crowded crowd neatly.

These soldiers have their own pride. Countless victories have already given them the confidence to be arrogant. These people will become the subjects of His Majesty the Grand Duke. Now let them see how powerful His Majesty's army is. A very necessary thing.

Walking in neat steps, the soldiers held long guns in their hands, looking like an elite image of strict military discipline.

The two golden lion emblems with red background fluttered in the wind, and the serfs who fell into the escort caused a commotion in an instant.

"What are you doing! Don't make a mess! Squat on the ground! Anyone who dares to make a mess, I will kill him!" These soldiers immediately drew their long swords from their waists. If more than 40,000 people rioted in an instant It is definitely not something that can be resolved in a short time.

Under the brutal suppression of this group of soldiers, the riots of the residents calmed down. They squatted tremblingly and did not dare to move at all. If they were killed by the adults at this time, they would die in vain.

Soon, the two regiments in the north came to the front of the crowd.

The two captains walked up to five meters in front of the opposing officer and said: "The captains of the first and second regiments of the northern border came to receive the population in the name of His Majesty Grand Duke Rainer of the northern border. Are you a member of this army?" manager?"

"That's right!" A middle-aged man with a big red beard stood up and said, "I am Sir Horn of the Empire, an old friend of His Majesty Rainer!"

With that said, Sir Horn rode towards the two captains.

"Good day, sir!" The two regiment captains simply saluted Sir Horn on horseback.

Although the two of them represented the Grand Duchy of the North, after all, they had no titles and belonged to commoners, so they couldn't be rude in front of Sir Horne, a semi-noble with a title.

But as the joint captains, they were not too humble, so they just saluted on horseback.

Sir Horn didn't care about it during the summer vacation. Although the two were a little rude, the northern border was still strong. As the saying goes, a weak country has no diplomacy. Although the empire is not a weak country, it is not in its heyday after all.

Although the territory is far beyond the northern border, the military power that can be used is almost the same as that of the northern border, or even slightly inferior.

What's more, Sir Horn is a relatively open-minded person, and it's not that the other party didn't salute, so he didn't pursue it.

Sir Horne is getting older and older. When he first met Reiner ten years ago, he was already in his forties and entered middle age.

Now ten years have passed, and Sir Horne is already in his fifties, and he is approaching the range of old people. His big red beard on the chin is actually showing signs of turning brown.

At the beginning, he was able to be sent to the northern border to intersect with Reiner, so he was naturally a person with long sleeves and good dancers. Now that he is getting older, there is a kind of kindness in his words.

These two regiment captains commanded the arrogant soldiers and beheaded countless enemies. They were originally proud and arrogant people, but now they rarely talked and laughed with Sir Horn.

"That's good, since that's the case, I will order the soldiers to hand over to the sergeants under your command!" A regimental captain said with a smile.

Although Sir Horn is not the direct commander of so many soldiers, he is obviously of great status as a person who has made a lot of contributions to the imperial capital.

Now he is an officer who controls a city defense brigade in the imperial capital, with more than 300 subordinates. His son has also been canonized as a knight and has the title of knight.

After receiving the order, the soldiers who had lined up neatly dispersed to receive these populations based on small groups.

A team officer handed the spear in his hand to a soldier behind him, and while holding the long sword at his waist, he kicked his iron-covered leather boots, walked up to the leader of the opponent, and lifted the visor of the helmet .

The low-ranking officer looked up and down at the team officer's outfit, and saw a layer of simple armor, although it was a little crude, but it was complete, basically protecting all vulnerable parts.

Especially the torso and the joints of the limbs are well protected, and under this layer of armor, there is a layer of shiny full-body chain armor, which makes a rattling sound of armor plates rubbing when walking.

Looking at the helmet on the team officer's head, it was clearly a full-coverage visor, with two layers of protection on the neck.

The chain armor cap connected by the whole body chain armor is worn on the head like a hoodie, and there is this layer of armored neck guard under the face helmet, which hangs from the helmet and is fixed to the chest and back.

In this way, even if the long sword slashes vigorously, it may be difficult to cause effective damage to his neck.

The officer didn't even need to think about it. In addition to this, the other party must have a layer of armed clothing or even cotton armor as a lining inside the iron armor, because it is estimated that wearing only sackcloth in the weather like this in the north will freeze to death.

With this suit, it is estimated to be worth at least fifteen gold coins, not to mention that there is a long sword on the opponent's waist, and the excellent spear that was handed over to his subordinates just now.

Of course, the price of fifteen gold coins is in the imperial capital, and it is naturally rare to build such armor in an imperial capital that lacks steel, but in the northern border, such a set of full-body equipment costs only two gold coins. To count the salary of the blacksmith.

Looking at the excellent equipment on the other side and the worn-out padded coat on himself, the officer couldn't help feeling jealous.

"Their life is their life, but the life of labor and capital is not life?" Although the officer has already left the level of a soldier, he still does not have armored equipment.

Steel is so expensive, and iron armor is so scarce that only centurions are eligible to get it. How could he, a ten-man squad leader, wear iron armor.

He looked at each other repeatedly, and the jealousy in his heart became more and more serious. They are both heads of ten people, so why is there such a big gap.

"Jin, the Second Squadron of the Second Squadron of the Second Battalion of the First Infantry Regiment in the Northern Territory, came to receive the population on behalf of Grand Duke Lena of the Northern Territory. From now on, the people you are responsible for escorting should be under our control. Bar!"

The team officer didn't see the other party's emotions, and there was no need to speculate on the other party's mood. He just needed to complete His Majesty's mission.

However, he did not expect that such words would cause great dissatisfaction on the other side.

"What are you talking about! Damn it! I came all the way from the imperial capital to this damned place, yet you talk to me like that! This son of a bitch is dressed so well, no wonder his mouth smells so bad!"

The team officer was stunned for a moment after hearing the words, and then his eyes were full of disbelief. He never thought that the other party would speak such wild words. Even if his words were not polite, they were not rude after all, right?
