Black Iron Crown

"Why? Didn't you say that we should go to the north to help Grand Duke Rainer as soon as possible?" These lords did not understand Sir Andrew's opinion.

Looking at the puzzled eyes of these people, Sir Andrew smiled slightly, with a touch of subtlety on his pale face.

"I did say that, but don't you all think about your own territory?"

"What do you mean?" The lords frowned, as if they understood something.

Sir Andrew stood up from his chair and said, "We are willing to support Grand Duke Rainer, but that doesn't mean that others are also willing to support him!"

"Earl Lorance has organized wars against Grand Duke Rainer many times, and has fought against him several times. There has already been a lot of hatred between the two parties!"

"What's more, ever since we got close to Earl Creek, the lords who were close to Earl Lorrance have almost cut off contact with us. We are fine in the territory and can live in peace, but once we bring the army What about leaving the territory? There is no guarantee that they will not covet our territory!"

Sir Andrew's face was full of secrets, and the lords looked at each other after hearing this, feeling a little more uneasy in their hearts.

"Then, what shall we do then?" asked the lords.

Andrew narrowed his eyes slightly at the end, and said softly: "We have to deter Earl Lorrance and his gang!"

"What deterrent?"

"A deterrent to keep them from attacking our territory!" A blush appeared on Sir Andrew's pale face, and he enjoyed the feeling of strategizing.

Except for the lords in the meeting hall, who is no one, what exactly is the deterrence that Sir Andrew said.

However, since that day, the news that the 3,000-strong army of the Bookern Kingdom had been wiped out spread throughout the south.

In addition, even more shocking news began to spread in the south.

"I heard that the emperor of our country is about to change!"

"Really? Who wants to seek power and usurp the throne?"

In a city, several citizens gathered together to discuss in whispers, and one after another explosive news came out of their mouths.

"It's not seeking power to usurp the throne, but returning to orthodoxy!"

"The Grand Duke of the Northern Territory, Rainer, said that His Majesty the Emperor is the bastard of the adultery of the Earl of Redmara and the Queen. He has already organized an army of 30,000 in the north to attack the Imperial Capital, pull the Emperor down, and let the people of the Merland family take the throne. !"

"Ah? Really! Is His Majesty the Emperor a villain?"

"I heard that too, but according to what they said, it seems that this is really the case. For more than ten years, the Earl of Redmara and the Queen have always been so close. Now that the emperor is their son, it is also true It's not impossible!"

"That's true, but can this Grand Duke of the Northern Territory succeed?"

"Then what can't be done?" The speaker glanced at it without writing, and then said, "I really don't know what you think, the strongest army in the northern border military! That's a total of 30,000 north Frontier Army!"

"Besides, the emperor and the nomads in the east also suffered heavy losses. He may not have 10,000 people in his hands now. How could he be the opponent of the 30,000 Northern Frontier Army?"

"30,000 people!" One person sighed with emotion: "What a terrible number, I really don't know what it's like to gather 30,000 people!"

Such news quickly spread in the south.

Earl Lorrance also heard such remarks in his castle.

"Is the information accurate?" Earl Lorrance frowned and looked at the follower in front of him.

"It is accurate. At least from the information I have collected, these words are indeed accurate to a certain extent. You knew about the defeat of the imperial capital in the east before. Now the northern army is going south and it is naturally difficult to resist!"

Count Lorrance stood up from his chair, walked to the bedside of the castle, and looked into the distance with his hands behind his back.

The information was indeed correct, he knew this, and the fact that Bookeden Kingdom hurried to the north further proved this point.

And at this moment, the door of Earl Lorrance's room was knocked again.

A guard outside came in and said, "Master Earl, an envoy from Earl Creek is begging to see you!"

Earl Lorance raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and then straightened his clothes: "I see, let them see me in ten minutes!"

Afterwards, he said to his entourage: "You go down first, continue to monitor the information, and notify me immediately if there is any change!"

The entourage nodded, saluted respectfully, and left the study.

Earl Creek's envoy walked into the study, and Earl Lorrance sat on a chair and said casually, "What's the matter, your master?"

The envoy saluted hurriedly and respectfully, and then explained his purpose of coming.

"It is such an Earl, my master will go to the north to help the Grand Duke of the Northern Territory Reiner in the battle. The Grand Duke of the Northern Territory will surely win this war. I believe you understand it. My master and all the adults hope that the Earl You can take care of the overall situation and go to the north to help!"

Earl Lorrance smiled with great interest, and his opinion has changed a little. Now that he has gained the advantage, he still needs my help?

Earl Lorrance wanted to ask for a price, but who would have thought that the envoy would not follow the routine at all.

I just heard him say neither humble nor overbearing: "My lord, what you can get is not determined by my master, but by the future emperor of the empire, Grand Duke Rainer of the North!"

"My master invited Jin to go with him because he is a fellow southerner. He hopes that you will gain a good impression of His Majesty the Emperor in the future. The Grand Duke of the Northern Territory is open-minded. He may not mind you if you stand still, but if you are at this time If you extend a helping hand, he will definitely remember it, as the father-in-law of the Grand Duke of the North, my master can guarantee this, and now the north is already in a winning situation, I am afraid it will not have much impact if you are there!"

These words once again emphasized the real situation in the north, and also explained that after the war, if he made any excessive moves, he would be liquidated.

These words were impeccable, and while deterring Earl Lorraine, it also ensured that he would not oppose Reiner because he was afraid of liquidation. The only problem was that it made Earl Lorrance very embarrassed.

However, in the face of life and death and the future, what is a little face?

Sir Andrew's estimate was very accurate. As expected, Earl Lorrance did not get angry because of this, but fell into deep thought.

The messenger couldn't help letting go of his tense nerves, and exhaled a foul breath.

After thinking about it for a while, Earl Lorrance tapped lightly on the table, and said with an ugly face: "Go back, tell your master, I am not afraid of any threats, but I will not take advantage of others. Dangerous move, I will only submit to the emperor!"

After the envoy returned, he conveyed the words to Earl Creek and Sir Andrew in detail.

Earl Creek was somewhat annoyed by this, but Sir Andrew was delighted.

He knew that his plan had succeeded.

The subtext of only submitting to the emperor is that as long as Leiner can defeat the evil seed of the imperial capital and the army of the Booken kingdom at the same time, and successfully become the emperor, then he will submit immediately.
