Black Iron Crown

Chapter 669 Northern Volunteer Army

As a wife, Frant is not worried about Reiner's life.

On the contrary, during this period of time, her heart was extremely tormented, but he still had to think about the next thing. If he desperately mobilized the residents or the army with unknown origins, he would instead send his husband to a dead end .

Therefore, at the beginning, she just randomly selected new troops from the militia and prepared to send them to Reiner.

Naturally, it was unexpected that such a thing happened, but it still wouldn't make Farrant let go of her vigilance. She had to use some methods to ensure that the militiamen who were about to be sent to Reiner were loyal and loyal enough. reliable.

Earl Corder was also silent after hearing this, and then said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will follow your orders!"

Although Earl Corder has a lot of power in Mecaron City, Frante also has his own skills. After she married Leiner, several of her past followers took some positions under Leiner's command.

For a ruler's wife, it is very necessary to have a certain amount of power, just like now, Earl Corder has enough power, but Logan will definitely obey the words of Frante instead of Earl Corder.

Although he is Reiner's uncle and the palace minister, he must also obey Farrant's orders.

Frante nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Wait for the good news!"

Earl Corder left the main castle in a hurry, and returned to the street with a group of followers.

On the streets, willing residents still gather here, and they will not go back until they get a response. It is everyone's due responsibility to defend their homeland.

"Be quiet! Please be quiet!" More than 10,000 people gathered in the square in the center of the city, and it was very noisy, but when Earl Corder asked them to be quiet, they also quickly shut up.

"Citizens! His Majesty the Grand Duke has agreed to your request and is willing to let you go to the front line to help His Majesty the Grand Duke fight!"

"Long live!"

Earl Corder's words instantly made the crowd burst into joy. They took off their hats and threw them into the sky, cheering one after another.

It was so chaotic for a long time before the residents quieted down at the request of Earl Corder.

Earl Corder continued: "However, the Grand Duchy does not have the financial resources to arm all of you. Her Majesty the Grand Duchess requires you to buy armor and weapons from the Grand Duchy!"

His words caused an uproar among the crowd, and the citizens expressed their opinions chaotically.

"Why! Aren't we fighting for the Grand Duke? Are we fighting for our own benefit?"

That's right, many people are so eager for their own interests. Although they love their Grand Duke, if they simply go to the battlefield to die for the Grand Duke, they are obviously not so noble.

The army in the northern border is a profession that makes everyone salivate. As long as you don't die and gain some meritorious service on the battlefield, are you afraid that you won't be rewarded? Once the Grand Duke is defeated, his own interests will not be guaranteed. It is better to go to the battlefield to defend the country and get some benefits at the same time.

Under the excitement of the crowd, no matter how Earl Corder yelled, he couldn't calm down these residents.

The guards around him were barely able to stop the fanatical crowd.

So, these guards drew out the long swords around their waists and aimed at the out-of-control crowd in front of them.

The militia patrols responsible for maintaining order also aimed their spears at these residents.

Facing the threat of long swords and spears, the residents finally stopped their movements and calmed down.

Earl Corder wiped the cold sweat off his brow, and couldn't help complaining in his heart.

This is an out-and-out hard job, not only to face the noisy crowd again and again, but also to prevent these people from getting out of control. Just now, it almost caused a bloody accident.

"Everyone, please listen to me. Your Majesty's orders must be obeyed, not to mention that providing armor to you is indeed a very heavy burden. The Grand Duchy cannot bear it for the time being. If you are really willing to sacrifice your life for His Majesty, then you must also Don't care about this!"

"Now, if anyone wants to buy armor and weapons, please go get ready, the Principality will prepare armor for you to buy!"

Earl Corder said loudly, his words were very subtle, and he emphasized that it was the meaning of the Grand Duchess.

He was not willing to bear the responsibility of the people's grievances, not to mention that the Grand Duke and Concubine had been on guard against him before, so a small revenge would not be a problem.

After hearing such words, these residents also knew that things could not be changed, and they could only disperse one after another.

Earl Corder looked at the relieved subordinates around him, and shook his head involuntarily, but he didn't relax.

He walked out of the city with his followers and militia patrols, where there were also a large number of petitioning residents, and he had to appease those people.

Earl Corder spent all his time in this way, and finally conveyed all of Farland's words to these petitioning residents.

The next morning, a set of iron armor was carried out of Reiner's warehouse, and brought to the center of Mecaron City for sale.

These armors are full-body chain armor, and the selling price is set at two silver coins. For the background rich in steel, the armor only needs to pay the salaries of the blacksmiths and the salaries of the coal-burning workers. As for coal and steel, they are all Reiner's private property does not need to spend money.

Therefore, a set of full-body chain armor that once sold for ten gold coins in the empire only cost two silver coins in the northern border.

Of course, two silver coins are definitely not a small number for these citizens, and it may take them a year to save the money.

Therefore, such a threshold cuts off some people who are not so sincere and do not love Daleiner from the heart.

Of course, there are still a large number of poor people among them, perhaps because of illness, or because of bad gambling and alcoholism. Not everyone in the northern border is rich and able to spend such a huge sum of money without worrying about food and clothing.

Sure enough, the number of people who came to buy iron armor today was not as many as yesterday, it was only about one-fifth of yesterday's. After all, not everyone can be so cruel with a full year's income.

In this way, one set of iron armor was sold, and a few days later, someone came from afar.

These people are people who are far away from Mecaron City, and they have to walk for a long time before they can reach the heart of the northern border.

In the end, there were more than 20,000 people who were willing to spend money to buy iron armor. Wealthy people from all over the country bought these armors and were determined to go to the battlefield to help His Majesty the Grand Duke fight.

Half of the 20,000 people have participated in militia training, and they are gathering in a neat line outside the city of Mecaron at this time, holding a swearing-in meeting. Frante is standing on the city wall, overlooking these people .
