Black Iron Crown

With the advance of the army under Reiner's command and the capture of King Satli, the army of the entire Bukden Kingdom was defeated in an instant.

Even the grassroots officers who were responsible for restraining the soldiers ran around with their subordinates in panic, hoping to find a way out for themselves.

Of course, there are also some people who value glory and would rather die than retreat. They not only want to fight the enemy to the death, but also restrain their comrades from escaping.

But it's a pity that these noble people will end up either being killed by Leiner's soldiers, or beheaded by their comrades in arms. If you stop them from escaping, you will kill them. Who cares whether you are moral or not at critical moments.

"Pursue ten kilometers, and then retreat!" Reiner said flatly.

At this time, King Satli had been captured, so even if more enemy soldiers survived, it would have no effect on the situation.

Without the backbone of King Satli, not to mention the soldiers under his command, even his vassals would probably have no leader and fall into internal disputes. It would be impossible to provoke another war.

The reason why the soldiers were allowed to chase ten kilometers was to give him a chance to make meritorious deeds. Since the enemy army collapsed too quickly, and the combat effectiveness of Sergeant Morland in the front row was too strong, the soldiers behind were simply Did not get a chance to do meritorious service.

Let them go after the enemy, and it would be good to get a few heads back to receive the reward. This is of great help to ensure the morale and morale of the army.

The chasing and killing on the battlefield was very chaotic, but the army of the Kingdom of Bukden, who had lost the courage to fight, had no ability to resist at all. Often, seven or eight Northern Army soldiers could chase down a dozen or even several soldiers. Ten Bukeden Kingdom's troops ran.

The pursuit battle is continuing, and the soldiers under Leiner's command have long been chasing and killing the enemy in groups. In front of them are military exploits and rewards one by one. He sent out the light cavalry under his command to chase the enemy.

Kerim was covered in blood, panting and supporting the ground with his long sword. He had consumed too much energy in the battle just now, and now he could only let his soldiers chase the enemy.

He is thirty-nine years old this year, and he was twenty-seven years old when he first followed Reiner. He served under Reiner for eight years and made many meritorious deeds before he was awarded the title of Baron.

He was also very happy to achieve such a victory. He dedicated his youth to Reiner, and Kerim hoped that his Majesty the Emperor could go further and win every battle.

At this time, the enemy army had already run all over the mountains and plains. Sir Andrew and the lords in the south brought King Sartley and some lords around him to Rainer.

Sir Andrew looked at the crown on Reiner's helmet, which was obviously presumptuous, and hesitated for a moment.

Reiner was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that he pointed to the crown on his head and said: "I am now the orthodox emperor of the Ridka Empire, and the false emperor Carter has been sent to the gallows by me!"

Reiner smiled and said to Sir Andrew that he had signed many unequal treaties when he just married Frante. In exchange for Reiner's asylum, Earl Crick sent a lot of supplies to the poor and poor at that time. In the Northern Territory, Sir Andrew met Rainer under such circumstances.

Later, as the northern border became richer, and the relationship between Reiner and Frant became more and more harmonious,

He also assisted Earl Creek with a lot of military supplies, and the relationship between the two parties was rather close.

Sir Andrew and the lords beside him looked at each other, and everyone saw shock in the eyes of others.

These lords didn't know what to say for a while, but Sir Andrew took the lead.

He knelt on one knee and said: "Since you are already the emperor of the empire, as a subject, I should swear allegiance to you and do my best to maintain your rule for the sake of necessity! Your enemy is my enemy!"

Sir Andrew's behavior shocked everyone, and Reiner didn't react at first.

Afterwards, he smiled and pulled out the saber from his waist, and tapped it three times on Sir Andrew's shoulder: "I accept your allegiance, and I will provide you and your family with shelter and ensure your safety! "

The rest of the lords couldn't help but make a decision after seeing it.

The bottom line is that these lords are willing to come here to help Leiner fight, more because of the benefits promised by Leiner and Earl Crick's face.

If they are really asked to serve Reiner on the spot, then they really have to think about it.

You know, although Leiner has won a complete victory now, the western countries are all watching outside. If you pledge your allegiance to Leiner now, then you may be included in the attack range of those people.

As a result, only five of these lords who had their own thoughts swore allegiance to Reiner, and the rest all planned to observe it before making a decision.

Reiner tapped the shoulders of these five people three times with his long sword. After confirming the identities of the monarchs and ministers, his gaze towards other people became slightly subtle.

The expressions of these people became more and more embarrassing under Reiner's gaze, but at this moment Reiner smiled like a spring breeze.

"Sir Andrew is my brother-in-law. His family and I share weal and woe. I can understand that you don't want to join me in facing the coalition forces in the Western Territory. I don't force you to stand with me. After all, this is just a war between the imperial family!"

The lords who said these words were even more embarrassing. They were the vassals of the empire. Since the little emperor died, they were the vassals of Leiner in name. What Leiner said made them very embarrassed.

After Reiner finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to them, and even ignored them. Instead, he chatted cordially with Sir Andrew and the other five vassals.

Now, this group of lords don't know what to do. They have to endure the coldness if they stay here, and they have nowhere to go when they leave. The southern border is too far away from here. They want to get some supplies from Lena.

Lena didn't care about them, and the others didn't dare to stand up and talk to them on their behalf, so the group of lords could only stand still, with a burning feeling on their faces.

Soon, Reiner also chatted with these lords. He didn't intend to completely offend these people. What he did just now was just to show the difference between closeness and estrangement.

A group of people led the followers to the camp in a mighty manner. After Reiner arranged tents for each of them, Sir Andrew was the only one left in his own big tent.

"My dear father-in-law, why didn't he come?" After the two sat down, Reiner spoke first.

"Oh, I asked my father to bring someone here. My father is getting old, and I don't want him to continue running around!"
