Black Iron Crown

"Coming?" Reiner frowned and stood up from the chair, pointed to Lumbare and Wend who had just been reprimanded, glared at them and said, "I'll deal with you two later!"

After finishing speaking, he left the desk and walked up to the mounted archer and asked, "How many enemies are there? Where have they been?"

"The number of enemies...we don't know yet. They were discovered by us ten kilometers to the north of the territory. After we found them, Lord Tilihan asked me to come back and report to you. I haven't had time to count the number of enemies..."

The cavalry archer seemed a little uneasy because he didn't answer the question that came up to Leiner, Leiner patted him on the shoulder, forced a smile, and comforted him: "It's okay, it's not your fault, the number of enemies Sooner or later it will be in front of me!"

After dismissing the cavalry archer, the reprimanded silent Lumbare came up to him again, and asked weakly, "Brother, how should we deal with these Klade people?"

Wind also looked at Reiner with the same gaze, he had the same problem as Lumbare.

"Didn't I tell you that the Klade people are coming more than a month ago? Why are you panicking?" Reiner raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them, then sat down on the chair again, leaning on the back of the chair as much as possible Relaxed, acting as if he didn't care about the Klade people.

"After the battle is over, you two will have thirty whips each!" Reiner said to the two with his eyes closed, completely ignoring the bitter expressions on their faces.

"Okay, you two can get out, call me Logan and Uncle Cod!" Reiner sent the two away, and Lumbare and Wende left Reiner's study with their tails between their legs.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door, and Logan and Sir Corder arrived at Reiner's study at the same time.

The two entered the room, saluted Reiner who was sitting on the chair, and said, "My lord, what's the matter?"

Sir Corder looked at his nephew. Since he came back, the burden on him has become much lighter. He only needs to obey Reiner's orders, and he doesn't need to worry too much at all.

"The Klades are coming...they've come! They're just ten kilometers away from our northern border, and Tilihan has spotted the enemy..."

Reiner knocked on the table with his fingers, then sat up straight and got up from the back of the chair, looked at the two most dependent courtiers in front of him, and said: "So I want you to increase the intensity of coercion and temptation against those lords, I I want them to express their allegiance to me as soon as possible, and at the same time cause trouble to Earl Zhebo, so that he will not have the energy to attack us during my battle!"

talking,

Reiner stared carefully at the eyes of the two, and asked, "Is my meaning clear enough?"

"Yes, my lord, let's do it right away!" Sir Corder bowed to Reiner and bowed. He always separates official and private matters very thoroughly, and never treats Reiner's family with respect when dealing with official affairs. Uncle himself.

"Very good! Immediately dispatch all the knights in the territory after executing this order, gather them together, and gather the soldiers as soon as possible, gather the vassals who are closer to our territory and can arrive within ten hours, The vassals who are too far away let them be alert to Earl Zhebo's sneak attack!"

One order after another was conveyed and executed in this way, and the five baronies in Moreland County completely exploded his war ability at this moment. The knights began to gather their armed followers to Fort Moreland. Ten wealthy homeowners with armed clothing or leather armor at home also raised their spears, and gathered in twos and threes from various villages to Moland Castle.

The soldiers finished half of their training, and after returning to the barracks for a period of rest, there was an inspection and temporary grinding of weapons, as well as a pre-battle inspection of armor.

Scarlet Griffin Knights and their retinues, Vaxi squad, and Reiner's Takeda Chibi, who have just emerged from the system, are all feeding their horses, and communicating with their mounts before going to war. This is almost all cavalry Things that don't need to be done.

Another cavalry archer was galloping in the ice and snow, the howling wind almost drowned out the sound of the horse's hooves, but the blood-red crest of the Merland family's iris crown and lion on his body was very conspicuous. The soldiers guarding the city wall After they found out, they immediately confirmed his identity, and after consulting with the commander, they let him in.

"Lord Nayan, Lord Tillihan asked me to convey the news to you. The number of Klade people ranges from 7,000 to 9,000. Due to the large number, we cannot fully confirm it. Now Lord Tillihan is leading the brothers to attack the enemy. Stop the harassment!" After the mounted archer rushed into Leiner's room, he immediately reported everything to Leiner.

Looking at the other party's flushed cheeks that had been blown by the cold wind, Reiner stood up and said with some emotion: "Thank you for your hard work! Hurry up and warm up, and then let Tilihan bring the brothers back, don't be too risky!"

"Yes! Lord Yan!" The cavalry archer shouted flatteredly, and then hurriedly left the room.

The archer left Reiner's room moved, and sat in the corridor, his heart was warm, Mr. Yan is really a good person! When did those nayans in the khanate treat themselves so well in the past? Everyone regards themselves as cattle and horses, driving at will, and doesn't take themselves seriously at all.

And Lena Nayan really regarded himself as a human being, and the cavalry archer who had never felt such care secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must shed the last drop of blood in his body for Lord Nayan.

After warming up their bodies, the two mounted archers stepped on their horses and ran out of the castle again. Tillihan was still fighting in the north, so they had to quickly bring Lord Tillihan's orders to bring him back.

Reiner never thought that he would bring such an unexpected harvest just by asking about his health, and he is now actively mobilizing troops and food.

He plans to retreat to a part of the territory, that is, the 50 square kilometers of cultivated land and pastures obtained from the system. He plans to give up all of them for the time being. Anyway, he will have to dig the soil again in the spring. There is no need to defend it now. It is cost-effective to temporarily retreat to buy time.

However, Leiner in the hinterland of Fort Moreland cannot give up so casually. Although the cultivated land will have to be turned over in the second year, the villages and population attached there cannot be given up, so he still wants to keep the Klad people from living in the village. outside the place where the land is located.

Time passed quickly, and Leiner supervised the mobilization of food and grass. At the same time, he went to the barracks to check the maintenance and inspection of the soldiers' equipment, and at the same time received the knights who led the retinues at the gate of the castle.

After this series of events, he was very busy going around. Finally, within five hours, all the knights arrived at Fort Moreland, but he hadn't had a chance to breathe, because some vassals had already brought troops to Fort Moreland. Fort, he had to continue to receive them.
