Black Iron Crown

"Stop advancing immediately!"

Seeing this smooth offensive from below the city wall, Leiner immediately issued a new order.

Although the military discipline of the soldiers under his command is very guaranteed, Leiner is still worried that they will do something like burning, killing and looting. As a commercial city, the prosperity and wealth of Mecaron City can be imagined.

Although Lehner has always emphasized the discipline of the army, it does not stipulate whether to abide by the rules in enemy-occupied areas.

After all, Reiner still wants to bring this wealthy city that connects the northern and southern commerce under his command. If the residents in the city are full of hatred for him, then it is obvious that the future rule will become very difficult.

The low-pitched horn sounded from the bottom of the city wall, and the three long and one short horns symbolized the stop of progress and immediately rang through the entire city wall.

"Stop advancing! Everyone stop!"

As the commander-in-chief of the infantry, Sir Ryland naturally climbed up the city wall. After hearing the sound of the trumpet, he immediately ordered the soldiers to stop and wait for the next order.

Leiner jumped off the horse, lifted the visor from the helmet with his hands, and climbed up the city wall from the ladder with his hands and feet. The followers around him also went up together.

The soldiers stood there, panting lightly, looking back at Leiner with their weapons in their hands.

The defenders who surrendered on the city wall were all under control. They knelt on the ground one after another. Most of them were tied up by the soldiers torn off their clothes. Only a small number of people still knelt on the spot and dared not move.

Walking up the city wall, Leiner didn't say anything immediately, but raised his thumb high and shouted at the soldiers: "Good job!"

"You are all doing well! You ran for hundreds of kilometers, and you followed me without a single complaint! From south to north, and then from north to south! We defeated countless enemies! You are my pride! I am proud of you! Proud of you!" Lena shouted loudly.

The soldiers also cheered. They were indeed very tired recently, but at least Reiner didn't treat them like a group of livestock like ordinary lords.

This feeling of being respected and praised is a kind of spiritual relief.

Of course, Reiner is not a character who can only draw big cakes for others. He hated those bosses who only knew how to draw big cakes and talk about ideals without talking about money.

Lena thinks,

To be strong in combat, you have to give them the best logistical support, the best training, the most nutritious food, and the greatest honor to their families, so that they have no worries.

Only in this way can they give Reiner 100% uncomplaining work and 100% loyalty to him, because they know that no one is really good to them except Reiner, and no one will value them so much.

Leiner drew out his long sword, pointed at the towering castle faintly visible a few kilometers ahead, and shouted vigorously: "Ahead! This is our final goal! Wherever we conquer! We will win the final victory!"

"The first fifteen people to attack the castle! Get the title of knight! Pick two rich villages as his fief!"

"And all the fighters who participated in this battle! They will get one hundred acres of arable land for themselves and their family! And the right of any member of his family to hunt in any forest at will!"

"oh!"

"Long live the Earl!"

The soldiers suddenly erupted into earth-shattering cheers. This was an unprecedented turnaround. Even if they were not among the top 15, getting one hundred acres of arable land would be enough to make themselves and their family richer .

Most of these soldiers are self-cultivating farmers who are already wealthy. After acquiring a hundred acres of arable land, they can accumulate some and even become small landlords. Even if they are not comparable to knights, they are definitely richer than self-cultivating farmers.

Not to mention the first fifteen people, who directly reversed the fate of the family, directly transformed from a junior military class to the lowest noble, the top military unit, this is an opportunity that countless families have struggled for a hundred years.

Looking at the cheering soldiers, Leiner showed a smile on his face, and said again: "But! I want you to strictly abide by the military discipline I set! No one is allowed to plunder the wealth of the citizens at will! The property in the castle I will give you 20%! After the battle is over, you can divide it up as you like!"

"But if anyone dares to put his hand on the citizens! Don't blame me for cutting off your hands!"

Reiner froze, his expression became serious, and his sharp eyes glanced back and forth at the soldiers from time to time.

The soldiers did not dare to disobey, and said one after another: "Obey, Lord Earl!"

"Very good! Target main castle! Go forward!"

Under Sir Leyland's organization, the soldiers quickly set up their formation, marched through the deserted streets, and rushed to the Lord's Castle in Mecaron City.

At this time, the city was full of turmoil, no one appeared on the phone, only pairs of eyes peeped out the situation outside along the cracks in the doors and windows.

After a burst of smoke cleared, some courageous citizens pushed open the windows or opened a crack in the door and leaned out to observe the situation.

"They... didn't rob!"

After confirming the situation, a citizen turned around and said to his wife in disbelief.

His wife had already collected all the valuable things in the house and put them on the table. At the same time, she used furnace ashes to blacken her somewhat pretty face, looking extremely embarrassed.

They are afraid that the army that breaks through the city wall will kick open the door of their house and become fierce, not only rape but also murder, so they let their wives make a fool of themselves, and then gather all their property and plan to dedicate it to those Soldier.

As for their children, they hid them in a place they thought was safe.

However, who knew that all the preparations had been made, but the terrible situation they had imagined did not happen, which made them a little... feel lost?

This was impossible. After confirming that the army had left, they relaxed and sat down slowly against the door.

But the children didn't let him out, they were afraid that the troops would go and come back.

Because they have never seen such an army before. After breaking the city, they did not want to plunder to their heart's content. Even the simplest extortion did not happen. In their hearts, only the messengers sent by the Holy Father can have such an army. Bar.

The soldiers left the residential area without committing any crime, and arrived at the lord's castle in Mecaron City.

The main castle of Mecaron can indeed be said to have a magnificent bust. The twelve-meter-tall main body looks quite intimidating.

Looking at the gate of the castle that is close at hand, Leiner took a deep breath, and the beginning of his great career is here!

"Everyone get ready! Siege!" Leiner pointed his long sword at the city gate ahead, and dozens of soldiers slowly pushed forward with a siege vehicle.
