Black Iron Crown

No matter how anxious Leiner was, all of this was something he had to face. Although Leiner was troubled in his heart, he still began to prepare for the next war.

In the imperial capital, logs were transported from 50 kilometers outside the city to the city. Leiner ordered the carpenters in the imperial capital to start processing the arrow shafts immediately.

Although there are still a lot of arrows with the army, it is still necessary to be prepared.

The archers and crossbowmen under Leiner's command are very powerful long-range strike forces. He doesn't want to be unable to fight due to insufficient arrows at critical moments.

As for the arrows, Leiner ordered the blacksmiths in the city to make them. When Leiner wiped out the enemy army before, he seized a lot of long swords or spears, especially the little emperor's personal guards. More than 300 sets of iron armor and those weapons were enough. Build a lot of arrows too.

The sound of jingling can be heard endlessly in the imperial capital, as if playing a pre-war drum.

The nerves of the residents in the imperial capital gradually became tense, and they knew from a series of actions by Leiner that another war was coming.

However, their confidence in Leiner is still very high. During this period of time, they have fully realized the combat effectiveness of the northern border army.

In addition, some well-informed people also got some gossip, knowing that the enemy is the Kingdom of Bukeden in the south, so many people are full of confidence in this war.

However, Leiner was not complacent, and was still very cautious. He immediately issued an order to let the residents within 60 kilometers around the imperial capital move to the north immediately to prevent being harmed by the enemy.

Reiner has now defeated the little emperor and become the emperor of the empire in the true sense. Apart from the fact that there is no formal coronation, everything is already in his hands.

He naturally doesn't want his subjects to be plundered by the enemy, and he also doesn't want the enemy to get supplies from him, so a certain level of fortification is very useful.

In addition, Reiner also implemented a martial law system in the imperial capital, completely prohibiting people from appearing on the streets after five o'clock, strictly guarding against possible spies.

At this time, Leiner knew everything about the surface and the so-called dark world in the imperial capital. Although the spies arranged in the imperial capital did not play a role in the siege of the city, they happened to keep more for Leiner. Much intelligence power.

In the imperial capital, it can be said that as long as Reiner wants to know, most of the important things can be learned immediately by Reiner.

The atmosphere in the imperial capital was becoming more and more tense, and the production of military supplies was in full swing. One by one, the passwords and family members were transferred to the north, where they temporarily set up camp.

Time passed rapidly, a month and a half passed in a flash, and a black shadow appeared on the horizon.

The light cavalry who were cruising back and forth 80 kilometers to the south immediately passed the news to the imperial capital.

Without any reason, Reiner immediately summoned all the lords to gather in the conference hall of Tesca Palace.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty, are you going to start a fight?" Earl Jollal asked first.

Reiner nodded slightly, looked at the lords present and said: "The army of the Bookern Kingdom has appeared 80 kilometers south of the imperial capital, their number is more than 20,000, and they will arrive in three days Imperial Capital!"

All the lords sneered after hearing this,

Earl Jollal snorted coldly and said: "So what, these southerners are a bunch of soft-legged shrimps, if they defeat them, it will be a shame!"

The other lords also echoed. They had the same idea as Earl Jorral. Whether it was the southern lord of the empire or the Kingdom of Bookern, they were not praised for their army's combat effectiveness. The most enviable thing was Their well-developed businesses and rich lives.

But in such an era of cold weapons, a certain barbarism represents a strong combat effectiveness.

Seeing that all the vassals under his command looked eager to try, Leiner couldn't help but nodded, the morale of the army couldn't be better.

The lords are all waiting for the arrival of the Kingdom of Bukeden, when the time comes, they will once again prove that the northerners are good at fighting.

"Very good, since that's the case, we can't sit still!" Reiner laughed, slapped heavily on the armrest of the emperor's throne, stood up and said confidently.

"I would like to obey His Majesty's order!" All the lords bowed slightly and said in unison.

Soon, the marching army of the Kingdom of Bukden discovered that there were more sneaky people around him. They rode fast horses and spied on him from a distance. They couldn't drive away but couldn't catch up. .

His Majesty Rainer has 200 light cavalry, and their officer is Tillihan, Baron of the Prairie. Although Tillihan doesn't often communicate with his subordinates in Mecaron City, at this time he can still command them like an arm. .

In addition, he himself has more than 400 prairie light cavalry under his command. These light cavalry ride well-trained and well-fed prairie horses. They wear simple light armor to provide a certain degree of defense. force without affecting their speed.

In addition to this group of people, Baron Samuza also brought his own light cavalry to cruise around the enemy's three long snake formations. As a former prince of the Pakuten tribe, he still has a lot of power .

This time, in order to follow Leiner to make contributions, he brought more than 1,500 prairie light cavalry.

The combat effectiveness of these prairie cavalry has been greatly developed. Their riding skills are already very good, and now they are equipped with iron armor, excellent sabers and horse spears, and their combat effectiveness is even more impressive.

Not only that, but many of them have learned the housekeeping skill of riding and archery, a powerful nomad, but it is a pity that most of them have not learned to ride and shoot in three or four years. , most of them just learned to draw the bow on the horse, not to mention the accuracy.

However, Reiner also knew that the role of cavalry and archery was mainly to harass. If it was really a fight on the frontal battlefield, cavalry and archery would not have much effect, so there was no excessive criticism.

At this time, Tillihan was leading his subordinates to harass the middle position of a marching long snake formation. His group of experienced cavalry archers from the Kujit Grassland were also very accurate when they opened their bows on horseback. excellent.

Coupled with the group of prairie cavalry under his command, such a detour and harassment caused the enemy more than 100 losses, as well as quite a disturbance.

Tillihan was very satisfied with this. The Bukden Kingdom from the south lacked cavalry strength. They came and went like the wind, and the enemy could only follow their ass and eat ashes.

After several rounds of harassment in the morning, the team complained endlessly.

"Rush up and give them another round of arrow rain!" Tirihan licked his lips, with a ferocious smile on his face.

But as soon as they rushed to the front, they found a group of cavalry in strange armor, and their horses were very tall. After seeing this group of light cavalry, they immediately reacted.
