Black Iron Crown

News that the little emperor had hanged Earl Redmara and imprisoned the queen spread like the flu, but even so, it was still some distance away from the far north.

However, more than a month ago, the intelligence personnel arranged by the Northern Territory in the imperial capital used birds to deliver another message to their chief.

Logan has already made a lot of arrangements in the imperial capital. Several intelligence personnel under his command have already sat in the middle-level decision-making circle of the imperial capital, so they can obtain most of the information smoothly.

For example, Lie Peiwu, the little prince of the Alshan tribe, arrived in the imperial capital and had a discussion with the queen, Earl Redmara, and the little emperor, and they knew everything about it.

In addition, they even knew the content of the discussion between the little emperor and Prince Liepei Wuxun. Although the specific conditions were not known, they could generally understand that the royal family hoped to unite with the Arshan tribe to fight against the northern border.

Asuka transmits information very quickly, but after all, it cannot compare to the fast communication in the information age. It took more than a month to reach the northern border.

And the person in charge of receiving didn't dare to neglect after seeing the urgent words, and hurriedly delivered it to Logan.

After checking it out, Logan frowned instantly. Although he dealt more with intelligence matters on weekdays, as the intelligence chief of a colony, he still had this vision.

He quickly rushed into Reiner's study with the information.

At this time, Reiner was in the study giving instructions on the training of recruits this month and signing orders for the payment of military salaries.

Suddenly being interrupted by someone rushing in, he felt a little unhappy, but after seeing clearly who it was, he let go of his emotions.

He knew that Logan had always been a flattering and measured person, and he would not be so rash if there was no emergency.

Logan handed the parchment in his hand to Reiner, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, two months ago, Lie Peiwuxun, the little prince of the Arshan tribe on the grassland, entered the imperial capital, and the two of them made a deal. The empire has supported the Alshan Department with 100,000 tons of grain, and there should be some other conditions, but we don't know about these yet."

"However, what is clear now is that the imperial capital seems to want to unite with the Arshan tribe to fight against our northern border, and it seems that a consensus has been reached. At least according to what our people said, Prince Liepewuxun was in a good mood when he left!"

Reiner listened carefully to Logan's report, the more he listened, the tighter his frown became.

After listening to what Logan said, Reiner's brows were already wrinkled into a word.

He knew what it meant. If the imperial capital united with the Arshan tribe, it would indeed be a huge hindrance to his future plans.

With the Arshan Ministry leading from the side, Leiner didn't dare to bring all his strength to the south for a decisive battle with the empire.

And if a large part of the army cannot concentrate its superior forces to annihilate the empire's army or conquer the imperial capital, then the Kingdom of Bookern will react. Once they seize the opportunity to go north to support the imperial capital, the only choice they face is to return to the northern border, or One is to confront the coalition forces of these two countries with weak forces.

At that time, no matter what, I will not be able to please myself. If I choose to return to the northern border, the previous preparations will fail, and my dignity among the vassals will also be lost. Not to mention the loss of majesty, at least the vassals will also murmur.

And once you choose to fight head-on with the opponent's coalition forces,

If you win, you will pay back. Although the loss is greater, at least the emperor has won, and the emperor's position can be regarded as obtained.

However, getting the title of emperor does not mean that he has become a great emperor with Tianxian in his mouth.

It is inevitable that the army and the local hotspots will lose their troops. Even if they defeat the army of the imperial capital and the army of the Bukeden Kingdom, there will still be the Arshan Department watching over them.

What's more, the Bazalan Kingdom in the west invaded the western border of the empire a few years ago, taking a large piece of territory from the empire. Although those lands belonged to the lords of the western border, the attitude of the Bazalan Kingdom can always be seen. Not so kind to the Empire.

Reiner's thinking is diverging a little bit, and he continues to think about the attitude of the Church of Rosa towards the empire. Reiner does not doubt what kind of internal and external troubles he will face if he wins the throne under the condition of weakened strength.

"Tsk!" Reiner sucked his teeth and knocked on the table irritably.

After all, he really didn't want to procrastinate any longer, the little emperor would be an adult, and he would have the title of emperor at that time, and he would definitely have righteousness, so it would not be easy to pull him down again!

At this time, the news that the little emperor is already in power is still on the way, and it has not reached Leiner's hands, otherwise he will definitely be even more irritable.

Reiner thought for a while, and asked Logan to investigate the situation of the Alshan Department, and then see if there was any way to deal with it. In addition, the Trick Department was also within the scope of Reiner's investigation.

It depends on the situation whether to offer conditions to prevent the Alshan Department from forming an alliance with the imperial capital, or to win over the Trike Department to restrain the Alshan Department, or to think of other methods.

However, before the news of Logan's investigation into the Arshan Ministry came, another intelligence came from the imperial capital.

This time, Reiner was really shocked, and at the same time, he became more and more restless.

The news is that the little emperor overthrew Count Redmara, imprisoned the queen, and took over the power himself.

"Bang!" Reiner slammed on the table, and his feet moved unconsciously on the ground for a long time. This aggrieved feeling almost made his heart explode, and he almost felt like giving up on himself.

The last time he felt this way was when the 8,000-word essay he coded in his previous life was swallowed by the computer in an instant, causing him to give up that book immediately.

The emotions at that time were nothing compared to his present. Now his heart was full of anger, anxiety, remorse, annoyance and other emotions, almost like an active volcano that could erupt at any time.

The little emperor held all the power in his own hands, which meant that many things he did were in vain, and it became more difficult for him to win the throne by more than half.

However, anger is anger, and irritability is irritability. Reiner quickly adjusted his mentality. As a superior person, Reiner has already learned to manage his emotions.

He forced himself to calm down and think carefully about what he should do and what he could do now. Although the little emperor's own administration has caused a lot of trouble and difficulties, isn't there a turning point?

Reiner comforted himself in this way in his heart, and at the same time, his brain was running rapidly, thinking about all the conditions and the power he could use, and finally he actually found a turning point, a turning point that could completely reverse the current situation.
