Black Iron Crown

At this time, in the imperial capital, more and more former residents returned here. After some cleaning, most of the little emperor's henchmen had been arrested, and the entire imperial capital was completely in the hands of Leiner.

Teams of heavily armed soldiers patrolled the streets to ensure the security of the imperial capital, and their excellent discipline amazed the residents and traders of the imperial capital.

They have never seen this kind of innocent fighter. During the reign of the little emperor, most of the patrols would be ripped off by merchants when they were carrying out their missions. Such things as extortion were very common.

In this way, the soldiers under Leiner's command were in sharp contrast with the little emperor's army before, and the residents of the imperial capital were more supportive of Leiner's rule.

At the same time, the news that Leiner had conquered the imperial capital was spreading to the south, but he did not immediately take over many cities and castles in the south.

The war is not over yet, and the army of the Kingdom of Bookern may arrive at any time. He does not want to spread his territory too large, otherwise those areas will become scorched earth under the war.

After defeating the Kingdom of Bookern, he will officially announce his enthronement. Now he has not announced the fact of his enthronement to the whole country. His throne will gradually become stable after defeating the Kingdom of Bookern.

It was a full month since Leiner captured the imperial capital, and a dozen war horses brought three messengers into the imperial capital in a hurry. These messengers were wearing the same golden lion coat of arms on a red background as Leiner, and they were from Mecaron. messenger from the city.

The letter was sent by Logan, and it only took seven days to travel such a long distance. These messengers almost worked without sleep to deliver the letter to Reiner at such a fast speed.

After reading the letter, Reiner's face became a little ugly. It was written about the reactions of the countries in the western region to the jihad order.

As early as three months ago, Logan planted a nail in the western region and passed the news to the northern region, but unfortunately due to the constraints of the times, the speed of news transmission was quite slow.

It was not until more than half a month after Reiner left the northern border that this news fell into Logan's hands.

Logan reported the news to Farrant, and Farrant immediately arranged for people to deliver the news to Reiner all day and night. This news is really important.

"Well... I see..." Reiner frowned and said to the messenger: "How is the northern border now, how is Madam?"

"Everything in the northern border is fine, no different from before you left. The warehouses are full of food, and the prosperity is as usual, and under the order of the madam, more militiamen have started winter training again. She has already Many half-length armors have been distributed, and militiamen are being recruited through various village-level units. Before I left the northern border, the first batch of 800 militiamen had already set off from the northern border. Grand Princess... Your Majesty the Queen hopes that I can Take your idea back and see if we can send you more troops!"

Lena thought for a while, and finally nodded.

He is currently mobilizing the garrisons in some cities and castles in the north. There are more than 5,000 people in total. He originally wanted to put these people into the battlefield. It is more reliable.

Most of the militiamen in the northern border are from wealthy families, or in other words, except for the new population, there are basically no particularly poor people in the northern border. The land distribution system determines the lower limit of residents in the northern border.

Reiner asked himself that he had never treated the residents of the northern border badly,

And they are also reciprocating, and they are loyal to themselves, so they are more credible than others.

Reiner said: "It is enough for the queen to give me another three thousand troops, and the rest of the people should not be disbanded. Let them defend the city of Mecaron and tell her that I am very worried about her safety!"

The envoy nodded after listening to Leiner's words, hurriedly left the room, stepped on the horse and ran to the north again at a very fast speed.

Reiner sat alone in the imperial capital's study room. The layout and decoration of this study room was very gorgeous. The floor was covered with velvet carpets, the table was made of precious wood, and the burning fireplace made the whole study room extremely warm. , several portraits of the former king of Merland hung on the wall, and several sets of gorgeous armor stood quietly on the shelf, as if warriors with only their armor left were waiting for the emperor's order.

Reiner's heart was full of worries. Judging from the letter sent by Logan, the countries in the western region did not have the jihad order as he imagined, and it took a long time to wrangle before finally making a decision.

They have actually invaded the western border of the empire, and have been stationed there for a long time, waiting for the winner here.

This can't help but cast a haze over Leiner's heart. After the battle with the Bookden Kingdom, there is actually a jihadist army to face, which is a huge army of more than 70,000 people. He is confident in the combat effectiveness of his army, but if 30,000 people fight 70,000 people, even Leiner himself has no idea.

The 70,000 army is terrifying even thinking about it, and Leiner instantly felt a kind of pressure like Mount Tai's overwhelming pressure.

However, this is a war that has to be fought, and it cannot be avoided no matter what. He originally thought that the countries in the western region would have to wrestle for at least a year or two before truly launching a holy war. At that time, he felt that his strength was completely sufficient response.

But now, Reiner has only just become the emperor, and many places don't even know that the emperor of the empire has changed.

"How about...negotiating peace with the Kingdom of Bookern?" Reiner suddenly had such a thought in his heart.

But soon, this idea was snuffed out by himself.

He also wanted to be like the Emperor Taizong in his previous life, temporarily negotiating peace with the Eastern Turks when his strength was insufficient, and then backhandedly beat the cold and eliminated the opponent.

But obviously this does not show that the general laws of the two worlds are fundamentally different. Once Reiner negotiates peace with the Kingdom of Bookern, it will shake his own foundation for so long.

The reason why he proclaimed himself emperor was that the queen had committed adultery with the Earl of Redmara, and the queen was the princess of the Kingdom of Bukeden. Once he negotiated a peace, it would prove that he was wrong, so the peace negotiation did not stand at all.

Negotiating peace with the countries in the western border? That's even more impossible!

The reason for the jihad in the Western Regions is that the Rosa Church wants to revive their authority. Although the influence of the Rosa Church has faded in recent years, it is still an out-and-out giant.

Although the jihadist countries are all independent entities, how could they negotiate peace with Rainer with the Church of Rosa?

What's more, even if this holy war was initiated by the church, those countries will not lose their benefits. Although the Rosa Church will get a lot of meat from the empire, they will not eat all of it. certain.

Everyone just takes what they need, they have 70,000 troops, why are they negotiating peace with Rainer?

Thinking of this, Lena's head hurt even more.
