Black Iron Crown

Chapter 167 Talking About Business (Happy New Year)

After walking for another four full days, the army dragging large and small bags of countless trophies arrived at Fort Morland. The distance of only 40 kilometers actually dragged on for four days. This marching speed made Reiner bloody and speechless.

In his mind, his army should be invincible and invincible, a super elite who can travel hundreds of miles a day, but he finally understood the reality after he came to this world, especially after this march.

Traveling hundreds of miles a day is a frightening speed. Needless to say, his army is definitely the absolute elite of the cold weapon era, but after having a lot of spoils, it can only travel more than ten kilometers a day. Ideas vary widely.

After recognizing the reality, Reiner no longer had any demands, and turned his attention to the territory in front of him.

After leaving the territory for only seven or eight days, he actually felt as if he had passed away, and returned to the place he was familiar with. Reiner was in a very good mood.

At this time, it is September 16th, the 22nd year of the empire, and autumn is about to arrive. Although the sun in the sky still emits some power in the afternoon, it loses its majesty at other times, and there is no summer at all. The rampant temperature.

The wheat in the field looks very gratifying. Unlike the green ones that have just been planted, the current wheat field is already golden, and the full wheat grains bend the whole wheat, and it is very difficult to carry it.

After walking through a huge wheat field, there is a field of cabbage, which is the most important way for residents to consume vegetables besides wheat, so it is planted in large quantities every year.

There is a lot of arable land in Fort Moreland, this is because Reiner once ordered the residents to carry out large-scale reclamation, and this year is a good season for chanting, there is no drought, no flood, and the rain is also very abundant. It seems that this year is a good year. A good harvest year.

One after another, the residents were seen carrying farm tools through the fields. It seemed that they were ready for the autumn harvest.

In the afternoon, the sun was already westward, and the temperature suddenly became warmer. Even some soldiers were already sweating profusely. The temperature in the afternoon was not much different from that in summer.

Walking in front of the tall city walls of Fort Moreland, Sir Horn was a little surprised. Although it was incomparable with the tall and majestic city walls and the bustling crowds of the imperial capital, such a man appeared in a well-known backcountry in an empire like the Northern Territory. The castle already surprised him quite a bit.

Even if such a castle is in the interior of the empire, it is quite a good building, and it cannot be built without a certain amount of financial resources.

He glanced at Reiner beside him in surprise, seeing that he had no expression of showing off or complacency at all, and turned his gaze to the other people beside Reiner, seeing that they had no strange expressions at all, he couldn't help being shocked.

Fei De rode on a group of tall horses, subconsciously stroked his unshaven chin, opened his mouth and looked at the castle in front of him.

The Moland Fort in his memory is obviously not like this. Where did the low city wall go? Where is the narrow main castle? Where did the arrow towers on the city walls come from? Did it appear out of nowhere?

Along the way, he was very shocked when he saw the changes in Fort Moreland. She could see that these residents were fundamentally different from before.

Although their complexions are still not very healthy, and most of their bodies are relatively thin, there is hope in their eyes, which is completely different from the dull numbness of the past.

Why did he leave Fort Moland after going through all kinds of hardships and left the northern border? Isn't it just to leave here, to leave this barren place, don't you want to become numb like those people?

Now he has indeed succeeded. With his good martial arts, he joined the royal heavy cavalry. He receives a high salary every month and does not need to bear expensive equipment costs. Cavaliers are no different.

But when I returned to my hometown, I saw that it became full of vitality,

He could even see some small traders, and he couldn't help but began to doubt whether his original choice was right or wrong.

But soon, he drove this thought out of his mind. This position was hard for him to obtain.

The gate of the city wall was opened, and Mrs. Moreland led everyone in the castle to welcome the victorious army with smiles on their faces.

Logan stood behind Mrs. Moreland with a smile, but with his face, Reiner always looked uncomfortable.

"You're back at last! Must be victory? Is my dear son hurt? Where's little Wendy? Where is he?"

Mrs. Moreland rushed up to save Reiner, and then looked at her son for a while, checking whether her son was injured, and then began to search for little Wende.

Little Wende was squinting at this time, not daring to show his head, and Reiner had been training him a lot in the past few days.

On the battlefield, he dared to disobey his orders and fight in person, which was simply killing his own mother. If something happened to him, Leiner himself would be very sad, so Little Wende was covered in bruises these days.

After being gently poked by Lumbare from behind, he came out avoiding his brother's eyes and came to Mrs. Moreland.

"Oh, my dear little son!" Mrs. Moreland looked at her little son and couldn't help but sighed lovingly.

Reiner didn't intend to go on like this any longer, and greeted Mrs. Moreland, and then walked into the main castle with the important people under his command and Sir Horn. They wanted to discuss the purchase of steel by the royal family.

After entering the study, Reiner took off the red heraldic cloak on the outside, casually put it on the back of the chair, and sat down on the main seat, and everyone else also took their seats.

Sir Horn sat on the chair, and Fide stood beside him. His tall body gave people a sense of oppression, but it was obviously useless here.

"Dear Sir Horn, as a branch of the royal family, I am happy to serve and make a small contribution, but after all, I also want to live. I don't know how much steel you need and at what price to buy it?" Lai Na cut to the point, without any greetings.

"Hehe..." Sir Horn smiled, and then said: "The royal family's demand for steel is endless, and it will only make you feel that the supply is in short supply! So how much steel you have, the royal family will pay for it!"

Reiner couldn't help curling his lips when he heard that, only the royal family could say such rich and powerful words. If he had such financial resources, he would have used the system to push the world.

Resisting the jealousy in his heart, Reiner continued to ask: "So, what price are my dear relatives willing to pay to buy these steels? You must know that steel is a scarce commodity, and I don't even have enough for myself!"
