Black Iron Crown

Chapter 622: Royal Conquest

The little emperor was very satisfied with the knowledge of these people, so he praised these vassals and promised many benefits at the same time.

At this time, the little emperor was wearing a gorgeous military uniform, and the armor on his body gleamed after being polished and polished, shining brightly under the shining of the sun.

A helmet with a gold-plated lion was worn on his head, the visor was lifted by him, and behind him was a mighty regular army.

The citizens in the imperial capital gathered on both sides of the road, watching the expedition led by the little emperor himself.

The little emperor's reputation for overthrowing the Earl of Redmara has not faded, so these residents sincerely wish him a great victory and a safe return.

The little emperor looked at the fanatical crowd on both sides of the road, waved his hand to greet them, and at the same time strengthened his determination to fight in person.

The serf conscripts had already left the imperial capital two days ago, and the convoy transporting the luggage left early seven days ago.

Fortunately, under the operation of Sir Dallore, this food and grass team did not use a scale as large as 20,000 people.

He mobilized a large number of cattle, horses and donkeys, and finally reduced the grain transportation team to 4,000 large carriages.

However, the total amount of food consumed on the road has not changed much. These animals eat much more than people.

The little emperor led his regular army and the troops of his vassals to walk on the stone road near the imperial capital. Although his courtiers had no territory, they had many other sources of income.

For the sake of safety, each of them supported at least four or five guards, and the little emperor gathered a full thousand armed guards with certain combat experience from this group of courtiers.

After leaving the imperial capital for 20 kilometers, they completely left the area with stone roads, and the march became more difficult.

The soldiers walked on the path with heavy steps, and they could only hear the sound of panting. These soldiers who emerged from the serf group were inferior to the veterans and knights in terms of courage.

By the little emperor's side, there are more than 400 feudal knights following him, some of them were recruited by Earl Redmara after the fiasco in the northern border, and some knights were attracted by the little emperor with his own private property .

Along the way, the little emperor's enthusiasm for personally participating in the march diminished day by day. He had to train riding since he was a child, and he often accompanied his guards to train in person, but such a long journey still exhausted his patience.

He finally returned to the rack prepared in advance, and was pulled forward by four solid-color drawhorses.

Their marching speed was not slow, barely reaching the progress of 30 kilometers per day, which was already very good when the road conditions were not good.

In the evening, the army set up their tents at the same spot. The soldiers complained and lived in the tents. They threw their leather armor on the ground randomly, threw their clothes everywhere, and got into the bed impatiently and fell asleep. .

Early the next morning, they got up tired and began to prepare for departure.

As for the little emperor, he was not affected by these things. He lived in the rack last night without any disturbance.

Cooking smoke curled up, a few clouds in the sky covered the sun, and the cool dew decomposed in the air,

Provides a burst of moisture and refreshment.

The soldiers had a hasty breakfast, and put on their slightly damp leather armor again. Compared with yesterday, it was slightly bloated, but it will soon improve as the sun rises.

Marching is hard and tiring. These soldiers must hurry up and do the preparatory work before they can survive a day's march.

They also learned a lot from the Northern Territory Army, for example, the leggings wrapped around their calves were learned from the Northern Territory Army.

This is what Leiner plagiarized from his previous life in order to increase the marching speed of the army and not want to cause non-combat attrition due to fast marching.

Just two simple cloth strips can effectively relieve the calf swelling caused by long-term walking.

When the sun was high and it was almost eight o'clock, the little emperor woke up with difficulty under the call of his servants.

On weekdays, it would be impossible for him to wake up from his sleep without nine o'clock and ten o'clock, but now, in order to set an example, he woke up forcefully and announced to start moving forward.

Although the racket is relatively stable, the shock absorption measures are not as good as those of later generations. At the same time, there is no differential, so it looks very bumpy, making it impossible for him to catch up on sleep on the rack.

The news of the little emperor's personal conquest quickly spread throughout the empire's north and south, and many people talked about his actions.

Some people think that the empire's use of force is recovering, while others think that His Majesty should not risk himself, and should let the generals and vassals fight this war.

However, whether it is praise or belittling, the little emperor's prestige is still rising. As long as he can win this war, his prestige will reach its peak in an instant.

The little emperor is also aware of this point, he just wants to let the soldiers understand that this war can win but never lose, and at the same time give the soldiers confidence, even the emperor of the empire is fighting side by side with them, so what is there to worry about? ?

The news of the little emperor's personal conquest was also quickly spread to the northern border. After learning the news, Leiner was a little surprised. He didn't expect a fourteen-year-old boy to have the courage to go to the battlefield.

However, Leiner knew that if he personally led the army to go out, it meant that this war must have a result, otherwise it would be a huge blow to the prestige of the little emperor.

Therefore, Leiner immediately ordered all the soldiers to intensify their training, and at the same time made the vassals ready to go out at any time.

At this time, the Allied Forces of the Grasslands were still besieging the city of Karen Fort, but the scope of their food collection extended to the other direction of Karen Fort for more than 20 kilometers.

The vicinity of Karen Fort was already a piece of dilapidated walls and deserted people. The huge army needed food, so they had to advance to places where there were people.

The siege has lasted for a full month and a half. The defenders in the city have suffered more than 400 casualties, and only 300 people are left to continue fighting.

In addition, the outer city wall of Karen Fort has fallen into the hands of the grassland coalition forces, and the defenders and residents can control only the last main castle.

Reiner returned to the room, Farrant leaned on the bed and looked at her husband, at this time her stomach was bulging again.

Farrant is six months pregnant with her and Reiner's second child.

But she seemed a little worried at the moment: "You won't leave when I give birth again, will you?"

When she gave birth to Dethanon, Reiner just happened to lead the army and was not in the northern border. After she had a child, she faced the attack of Earl Redmara. That time was simply a painful memory for her.

Now Daisyen has started to learn martial arts with Earl Valas, and she is also pregnant with her second child. She hopes that when the second child is born, her husband will be by her side.
