Black Iron Crown

Around the imperial capital, the soldiers were still conducting daily training, and sharpening their guns before the battle was still useful, and Leiner would not hesitate to do anything that would increase the hope of victory.

More than 1,800 prairie light cavalry were cruising around like the west of Aididu, and the distance within a radius of 80 kilometers was all within their scope of investigation.

Eighty kilometers is a very large combat radius, and even these light cavalry have to spend a whole day hungry before returning to the imperial capital and passing the news to Leiner.

These prairie light cavalry not only have one war horse, but each of them has two horses that can be exchanged for riding, and one horse as a backup, otherwise their horses would have fallen to death after such a long-distance running.

As Rainer's vassal and his trusted direct descendant, Tillihan personally led the other prairie lords to patrol the west.

In the past two months, Leiner has not been idle, and most of the residents in the west of the imperial capital have also been transferred under Leiner's order.

Although the elders of those villages were not directly descendants of Leiner, as the emperor of the empire, no one dared to disobey Leiner's order.

The surrounding area of ​​the imperial capital is densely populated. Although there have been frequent wars over the years, there are still more than 300,000 people living within a radius of 50 kilometers of the imperial capital. The population density is far from comparable to that of the northern border.

With such a huge population, it is easy to provide logistical supplies for the enemy. What's more, Leiner's "poor life" is too scary. He doesn't want to sacrifice so many people. These are all future productivity and sources of troops, so just throw it away. He is really reluctant to let the enemy ruin it.

Reiner is very proficient in the trick of strengthening the wall and clearing the field. After all, he has a soul that belongs to the Celestial Dynasty, so it is very important not to let the enemy take advantage of it.

At this time, the northern border was also affected by the war. After throwing out a large sum of money, Frante also felt distressed, but she couldn't let go of the basic defense measures of the northern border.

Under her order, the sons of knights were recruited one by one, but the eldest sons of those knights followed His Majesty the Emperor with their father on the front line, leaving only the second son and younger children in the family.

They are not qualified to inherit the family's fiefdom, nor can they get an excellent knight education, so they can only make a living by themselves, either as a squire of their brother, or as a wandering knight

If it is in other regions, such children may still have the opportunity to enter the monastery and become a monk, because most of the monks are children of noble families without inheritance rights.

However, in the northern border, such an approach will not work, because under the suppression of the northern Leiner, the power of the church is very wretched.

Apart from praying in that shabby church on weekdays, there is nothing to do, including praying and comforting the residents, these things are not their turn.

Naturally, the village officials appointed by Leiner will do the job of appeasing the residents. There is no such thing as attempting to take away the right to explain and speak that belongs to Leiner.

In some churches in remote places, the monks inside even need to work and farm by themselves in order to maintain their lives.

Originally, Reiner thought that such a thing would cause some conflicts and riots, but what he didn't expect was that apart from the dissatisfaction of the monks, nothing happened.

It’s not surprising to say that the residents have food and drink, so they don’t need to pray frequently in exchange for spiritual comfort. Now that there are so many good things to buy in the northern border, it would be foolish to send money to church What's more, the power of the church in the north was already weak, so it didn't have any influence on Reiner.

Without the church as a way out,

These second sons also lost a place to make a living. In addition, Reiner strictly prohibited extortion and robbery, and there would be no wars between the lords in the northern border. This cut off the biggest source of life for wandering knights.

Obviously, this will have a great impact on a class in the northern border, and he personally created an unstable factor.

After Leiner left the northern border with the army, Frant tried every means to expand the troops he could use to prevent accidents.

After all, there are only 800 militiamen left in Mecaron City at this time. If something major happens, it will not be enough at all.

But she didn't want to recruit anyone casually. It would be very dangerous if someone with ulterior motives joined the army.

So, after much deliberation, Frant set his sights on the second son of the knights.

The class of knights in the northern border is not a small number. Although the population of the northern border is small, no one will think too many knights as one of the core combat forces under the command of the lords.

At this time, more than 800 young people ranging from thirteen or fourteen to seventeen or eighteen years old stood in chaos in the meeting hall of Mecaron City.

The guards standing guard at the gate and on duty in the hall stood there expressionlessly.

These teenagers looked at the furnishings in the meeting hall of this song with novelty. Although the northern border is rich, the things placed in the castle of the former grand duke and the current imperial emperor are not something that children of their group of knights can play with and see.

The noisy sound continued for a long time, until a court jester pushed open the door of the meeting hall and shouted loudly: "His Majesty the Queen is here!"

The jester's voice is extremely sharp and penetrating, which is also the biggest reason why he can be appreciated.

Hearing the title of His Majesty the Queen, the teenagers all shut up. They were still very afraid of this His Majesty who was swift and resolute and had a high prestige.

First of all, twenty-four retinues in full armor with swords hanging from their waists walked in. They held their heads high and their chests held high to open the way for Frante.

Frante was wearing a luxurious gown. The velvet was dyed purple with precious dyes. The long skirt was ten meters long. Six maids lifted the skirt repeatedly behind him to avoid dust and dirt.

On the chest of this dress, there are twelve round pearls, which are connected in series on the velvet with gold threads. On her slender and elegant neck, there is also a string of crystal clear gem necklaces.

On his head was a magnificent crown made of pure gold and inlaid with many precious stones.

Her arrival was like a goddess descending from the ancient mythology. The group of teenagers were also dumbfounded, not daring to do anything wrong in front of her.

Frant walked on the red carpet and slowly came to a chair in the conference hall.

Reiner is not here at this time, she should be sitting there.

Frante glanced at the teenagers present. These people met Frante's eyes and lowered their heads, not daring to look directly.

She nodded in satisfaction, her red lips parted slightly, and her voice was very clear in the silent conference hall.

"Everyone, I am the hostess of this country. This time I sent a letter to your mother to let you come to Mecaron City. Naturally, I have my purpose!"

The knights are not here, so the hostess is naturally the one who decides.

"Of course, I won't force you, everything is voluntary!"
