Black Iron Crown

Chapter 687 Letter from the Pope

The kings of the Jihad coalition army are all veterans of fighting in the west, and they are far more sensitive to war than these lords in the east.

After all, where the heroes compete, one failure may lead to a total loss, so their attitude towards war is cautious.

Now that the war has been decided, it is necessary to be fully prepared. The battle between the frontline sentries is like this.

One by one, the sentry cavalry came back from the front and reported to their king with the topographic map of the local area. Since they want to fight, the terrain is a very important factor.

Tillihan frowned as he listened to his subordinates' reports. The intensity of the battle between the sentries on both sides was not high, but up to now, dozens of people under his command had been killed or injured, and the number was still rising.

"You mean, the purpose of the opponent's sentry is not to fight, but to draw a map?" Tillihan felt a little worried.

"Yes Lord Baron, not everyone is fighting with us. They usually send some people to fight with us, and while fighting, there will always be some people cruising around to observe the nearby terrain!"

Tillihan hurriedly said, "Rush to the imperial capital immediately and report this news to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Tillihan subconsciously felt that something was wrong. This was the first time he had encountered an enemy who valued terrain so much. This was a war in which the fate of the country was gambled, and Tillihan himself shared weal and woe.

Twenty kilometers away from the imperial capital, a military camp rose from the ground. Fences and horses were all available on the edge of the camp. To be on the safe side, Leiner even asked the soldiers to dig trenches on the edge of the camp just to be on guard. A surprise attack by the enemy.

The barracks was very busy, and the light cavalry shuttled back and forth non-stop before and after the gate of the camp, and they continuously brought news from the front line to Leiner's hands.

"This is the message that Tillihan asked you to send me? Is it true?" Reiner looked at the light cavalry in front of him with piercing eyes. He was not an experienced cavalry archer under Reiner's command, but a naturalized man on the grassland. herders.

Facing the scrutiny of Reiner, the superior, the light cavalryman lowered his head, and said respectfully and fearfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, I dare not change a single word. These are all the original words of Baron Tillihan!"

Reiner nodded: "I believe what you said, but you have to be clear, once I find out that you lied to me, you will be torn to pieces!"

After finishing speaking, Reiner waved his hand and sent him away.

Earl Jollal, Earl of Preston and Earl of Cord all looked at Reiner in unison.

"They are indeed very cautious, we have to show 10,000 points of vigilance to deal with the enemy!" Reiner narrowed his eyes and said: "It doesn't matter what the terrain is, the imperial capital is surrounded by a large plain, not to mention we occupy a larger area." advantage, there is no need to engage in a decisive battle with the enemy now!"

In fact, Leiner is more willing to procrastinate. He doesn't need to worry about military rations at all. The supplies obtained from the imperial capital are enough for his troops to stay here for several years. If the enemy is willing to spend like this, he will be more than happy cooperate with each other.

The skirmish battle became more and more intense as time passed. In order to prevent the loss of the light cavalry under his command too much, Leiner ordered that no one of the light cavalry could retreat to the barracks. Do not clash with enemies.

With the withdrawal of the light cavalry,

The sentinel cavalry of the Jihad coalition immediately had no taboos. They used the parchment in their hands to draw a map that was seriously out of shape and could only vaguely recognize the shape.

However, this is already extremely important news for the generals and kings of the Jihad coalition forces at all levels.

Ever since Emperor Kaffit raised an army of 100,000 to defeat the invasion of the Western Region, Shuang repeatedly seemed to have cut off a natural moat. The countries in the Western Region fell into disputes with the Church of Rosa for power and profit, and were unable to take care of the empire at all.

Therefore, they don't know what the terrain near the imperial capital is like. No matter how distorted the map is, they can still see some of the situation.

Twenty kilometers west of the imperial army camp, a cavalry team flying white flags appeared in the sight of the Leiner light cavalry.

They would have attacked at once, but the defeat of Tillihan stopped them.

"Let them come here, I want to see what they want to do!" Tillihan said.

The 20-man cavalry team kept waving their white temperament, and a group of light cavalry ran over and stopped 50 meters in front of them.

"Explain why you are here!" An officer yelled, and the soldiers under his command also held bows in their hands and arrows in the other hand, looking at the group of cavalry vigilantly.

"We are the envoys of the coalition forces! Your majesty the kings and the Pope have a letter to send to your so-called emperor!" The officer of the coalition cavalry stood up and waved the white flag in his hand and replied.

Tillihan came over at this time, and after thinking for a while, he shouted: "Only one of you is allowed to see His Majesty the Emperor!"

After the officer spoke a few words to his subordinates, he saw several cavalrymen turning their horses and running back, while the rest stayed where they were. The officer left the white flag to the others under his command, and then untied it. Armed with all his weapons, he rode up to Tillihan.

"I'm going to be your Grand Duke this year!"

"Listen to me, Your Excellency, my master is now the emperor of the Ridka Empire, I hope you can maintain respect for our emperor, otherwise you will become the next corpse on the gallows!"

Tilihan raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, and the officer didn't say much, and said straightforwardly: "Well, please take me to see your emperor!"

Only then did Tillihan lead someone to escort the officer to Rainer's barracks.

At this time, Leiner was flipping through the files in his big tent. Although he asked his light cavalry to retreat so as not to engage in continuous conflict with the enemy, necessary intelligence collection was essential.

His light cavalry cruised around the edge of the enemy army, collecting intelligence while avoiding conflict with the enemy's rangers, observing the composition and equipment of the enemy army, and their respective flags and coats of arms were also recorded.

"Your Majesty, Baron Tillihan brought an enemy officer to ask to see you, saying that the Jihad coalition forces have a letter to deliver to you!" A guard said as he walked into the big tent.

Reiner nodded upon hearing the words: "Let them in!"

Tillihan walked in first, and the officer entered the tent after the guard at the door searched him.

"Emperor of the Ridka Empire, this is a letter from His Majesty the Pope, please accept it!"

A subordinate came up, took the letter from the officer, and delivered it to Leiner.

After looking it up, Reiner frowned, and his mood instantly became very bad.

There is nothing else said above, it is to let Reiner give up the title of emperor, demote to king, and submit to Pope Rosa.
