Black Iron Crown

Chapter 658 The Choice of the Southern Lord

King Sutley's plan was to allocate part of his troops to surround Rawlsburg, to prevent the defenders in the city from launching a sneak attack while he was waiting for others to leave here and go north, that is, to continue the siege.

This is also a helpless move. If King Sutley can conquer the success or failure in a short period of time, then he does not need to do so. Hope for success or failure.

In addition, he had also received news about the defeat of the little emperor and the eastern part of the empire, so he understood that the imperial capital was not so easy to defend. He was afraid that the imperial capital would be breached and Carter would be deprived of his throne. The benefits and preferential policies are completely in vain.

Therefore, King Sutley would rather allocate part of his troops to besiege Rawlsburg than stay here and this small castle.

Anyway, he didn't think there would be many people in this castle, so he issued such an order.

"Leave 3,000 people to monitor the castle, hold them back and prohibit them from leaving the city. Now, let's go north! My grandson is still waiting for me!"

King Satli said, leaving a dozen vassals here, and will make up for their losses in spoils in the future, and promise them many benefits, so they can be appeased.

After arranging everything, King Satli took his remaining army to the north, and an army of more than 28,000 people embarked on the journey again.

As for those elite fighters from the Sultanate of Karda, they complained about King Satli's actions, but they did not speak as reinforcements, but continued to march with the army, but in their minds, Satli The status of the king plummeted.

"Sir, their large troops are gone..." In Rowlsberg, a squire walked up to Sir Andrew and said, he was the one who led the troops to obstruct here on behalf of Earl Crick.

"They left a part of their strength to guard outside our city walls, and the rest of them all forgot about the north!"

Sir Andrew frowned when he heard this. The request he received was to hold back the army of the Kingdom of Bookern for four months, but now only seven days had passed, and he had not met his brother-in-law's expectations at all.

However, Sir Andrew changed his mind again. After only seven days of siege, he was impatient to forget to go north. Doesn't this mean that the imperial capital has fallen into an extremely dangerous situation?

As the heir to the Earl of Creek, Sir Andrew is physically weak, but he is not inferior to anyone intellectually.

He keenly judged the current situation in the imperial capital through King Satli's actions.

He thought for a while, gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.

He knows that his judgment may not be very accurate, but since the imperial capital needs to seek the support of the Kingdom of Bookern, it also shows that the situation is very biased towards the northern army.

What's more, if my dear brother-in-law is not sure enough, he will not directly raise troops to attack the imperial capital.

Thinking about this, Sir Andrew called all the lords in Rawlsburg, and had a meeting in the conference hall of Rawlsburg.

The castle itself is not big, but in less than ten minutes, these lords all came to the meeting hall.

In order to hold the banquet, the scale of the conference hall is not small, and the gathering of an earl and other twelve barons in the hall does not seem crowded at all.

"What's wrong,

Dear Sir Andrew? "

All the people present looked at him with kind eyes. Although he was only a knight, not a real noble with a title and territory, but as the sole heir of the Earl of Creek, he could rely on the strength of Fort Creek. Earn the respect of all.

In addition, in the past few days of defending the city, Sir Andrew has indeed shown respectable qualities, rationality and meticulousness, which makes many people feel good about him.

"Right now, the people of the Kingdom of Bookern have left some troops to guard outside our city walls, while their large troops have left us and chose to continue going north..."

Having said this, Sir Andrew stopped and observed the expressions and opinions of the lords present.

These lords had different expressions, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Sir Andrew, what I mean is to continue to wait here. After all, we still have enemies outside the city. Although the Grand Duke of the North wants us to stop the army of the Kingdom of Bookern here for four months, we will continue to wait here." It’s done, they left their troops here to watch us, there’s nothing we can do about it, after all, our troops are too small to stop all the enemies!”

"Although we failed to stop the army of the Kingdom of Bukeden for four months, we at least reduced their troops going north. This is the little contribution we can make to the Grand Duke of the North!"

When he said what he said, the other lords nodded. These words expressed their true thoughts.

Sir Andrew pondered for a while, and then said: "I understand what you think, but I think that since Bookern is in such a hurry, he even spared no part of his troops to go north as soon as possible. This may have explained the current situation. How's the situation?"

"The Grand Duke of the Northern Territory has a huge advantage. Otherwise, the Burkeden Kingdom would not be so anxious. Think about it, if we help the Grand Duke of the Northern Territory take down the imperial capital, then after he becomes the emperor, would we not be so anxious?" Will there be no benefit?"

Sir Andrew's analysis changed the faces of all the lords slightly. They were thinking in their hearts, and everyone fell into silence for a while.

Seeing that his words had worked, Sir Andrew struck while the iron was hot: "Conversely, if we fail to meet Grand Duke Rainer's request and cause his plan to fail, then the Kingdom of Bookern will definitely demand more benefits!"

"The jihad of the western countries is imminent. Once they break in, how cruel will it be? We all know the wealth of our south. I don't think they will let our south go when they plunder!"

"And if the Grand Duke of the North successfully defeats the people of the Bookden Kingdom and successfully obtains the throne, what kind of situation will we be in? Don't forget, even if the Bookden Kingdom goes to the imperial capital, there are only two There are only more than 15,000 people, and the Northern Army under the command of the Grand Duke of the North is the most powerful army in the world. More than a year ago, they had more than 20,000 soldiers. war!"

These words completely convinced the lords. Since the Grand Duke of the Northern Territory is very likely to win the throne, why not do such a icing on the cake?

They all stood up from their chairs, looking at Sir Andrew with a touch of respect in their expressions: "Then what should we do? Think of a way, Sir Andrew!"
