Black Iron Crown

The distance of more than 20 kilometers is not far, but because the snow on the ground is too thick, the soldiers are still exhausted from walking. Seeing the Korborg in front of them, Leiner ordered the soldiers to camp and rest.

Reiner stood in front of Fort Goer and looked at the castle. Its wall was about three meters long, about the same height as the Fort Merland before it was upgraded, but the structure of the city wall was a civil structure, which was built with stones. Moland Fort has a big gap.

There are only two or three people on the arrow towers on both sides. Unlike the Merland family who have to face the Kladers' attack and plunder, the Gwen family does not attach great importance to archers. Like the Merland family, they need to use bows and arrows on the city wall every year. Houses that kill the Klades will arm themselves with regular archers.

But the Gwen family does not need this. Most of the Klades will stay in Fort Moreland to look for food, and even attack the castle. Fort, the number of Kladers who invade Goelberg every year will not exceed 500.

Such a number can't pose any threat to the castle at all, so they don't pay much attention to the archers. Now all the archers on the arrow tower are legal hunters temporarily recruited.

Looking at the Morland army under the city wall, the guards couldn't help trembling. They knew that the Baron had already led the army to attack Fort Morland, and now they were not waiting for the Baron but these strange troops, obviously the Baron My lord has failed and Baron Moreland has come with an army.

"Ma'am, Baron Moreland has appeared below the castle. It seems that the baron's plan has failed. Maybe he has been captured by the other party. Should we send an envoy to talk to the other party? What kind of ransom should be paid to redeem the baron!" Baron Robian's clerk said to Baron Robian's wife in the castle.

Baron Robian's wife is a young lady. He himself is not older than twenties, and his wife is also very well maintained. Although she can't be said to be good-looking, she is also a rare appearance.

She was wearing a green lady's dress at this time, and her brown hair drooped weakly just like her mood. After a while, she said: "No matter how much ransom the other party asks for, we will pay all the price to redeem my husband." Come!"

Without the protection of her husband, she and her four-year-old son will become unprotected fat. There are many relatives in the Gwen family. The younger brother of Baron Lobean has Baron Gorburg just like her son. Inheritance rights, it is difficult to guarantee whether the other party will make other moves under the orphan and widowed mother.

"Yes ma'am, I will negotiate with the other party and try my best to ensure that the baron will be redeemed!"

After the clerk went out, Mrs. Gwen sat down on the bed weakly: "I knew I shouldn't have let him help Earl Zhebo, now it's all right, let me get involved too!"

"Lord Baron, the other party wants to negotiate with us! And talk about the ransom!" Sir Valas said.

"Well, although Baron Lobean was unfortunately killed on the battlefield, we still want the ransom of other knights!"

Although many knights were killed in previous battles, some escaped knights were captured by Leiner's men, and some fainted knights also woke up. Now Leiner still has four or five knights in his hand. famous knight.

I saw an old man in a black robe, with gray hair and dense wrinkles on his face, walked up to Reiner tremblingly, saluted and said: "Respected Baron Reiner Merland, you Alright, I am the clerk of Baron Lobean, I hope to redeem my master Baron Lobean from you, for which we are willing to pay ten gold coins! "

Reiner couldn't help but be speechless after hearing this, nobles are really valuable, ten gold coins, this is the annual income of Fort Morland,

This price can be obtained by capturing a baron. Aren’t those nobles such as earls and viscounts more valuable? No wonder nobles in this era are keen on war. Know how to fight, as long as you win, you will make a fortune.

However, Reiner didn't covet these ten gold coins. He wanted to rule the whole of Goerborg. Ten gold coins were nothing.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Secretary, and I don't want to tell you this unfortunate news, but I have to tell you that Baron Lobean was unfortunately killed when he was fighting us, and died of a manslaughter!"

"What... what!" The old clerk's eyes widened, and he stretched out his wrinkled fingers like old dead bark to point at Reiner: "You! How dare you kill a noble! Cursed by the devil! You have killed my master! A nobleman!"

His voice was like a choked crow, sharp and hoarse.

"Please pay attention to your words! Secretary! Otherwise, I don't mind chopping off the right hand of your lord who is pointing at me!" Sir Valas suddenly pulled out the light red saber from his waist, pointed at the other party and said, the lord humiliated the minister The word death not only exists in the Celestial Dynasty, but also in this world. It is a great shame for him to be insulted by his master.

"Okay, Sir Valas! Put down your sword." Reiner turned to the clerk and said coldly: "Your master attacked my castle while I was fighting against heretics! He did this first Shameless thing, I killed him by mistake while fighting back, it's not shameful!"

"Now! I'm giving you an ultimatum. Gorburg will become my territory, and everything here will belong to me. This is the price for what your master, Baron Lobean, did!" Reiner's face was blank Looking at the other party with an expression, he said.

"You...you actually tried to take away my master's territory after killing him!" The clerk's wrinkled face was flushed, his breathing became rapid, and he looked at Reiner with hatred , with an indignant look.

"Go back immediately and convey what I said, or your head will be chopped off and fed to the dogs!" Leiner was really impatient. Anyway, your army has been defeated and your master is dead. How about annexing this territory!

"Oh! You should be cursed! You will go to hell!" The clerk tremblingly walked towards the door, cursing in a low voice.

"What!" Mrs. Gwen's eyes widened in disbelief after hearing the news, and then her tears flowed down her eye sockets like beans that kept rolling down.

"How dare he! How dare he do this!" She screamed hysterically. For a lady, the death of her husband is like the sky falling.

"Impossible! I can't surrender! My son will be the only ruler of Korburg! There is no way to surrender!" She screamed and shouted like a shrew, completely devoid of her usual elegance deportment.

There is no doubt at all, if Reiner appeared in front of her at this time, she would throw herself desperately to fight with Reiner.
