Black Iron Crown

Hearing this news, Leiner gritted his teeth angrily and glanced at Earl Creek, but he didn't say much, but asked the soldier, "How many are they? Which lords are they here?" ?”

"I saw the flags of the Earl of Lorraine and the Duke of Ans. There are so many flags left that I can't see them clearly. At least 10,000 people are outside the city, and it's just me. The number seen, perhaps more people surrounded us from farther away.

"Grass!" Reiner roared involuntarily, and even uttered a well-known national curse.

Although Earl Crick and everyone present couldn't understand the meaning of this word, they could tell from Leiner's expression and demeanor that Grand Duke Leiner was already angry.

"This is a fucking trap! It's a trap set for me, for the entire Merland family!" Reiner yelled frantically in his heart, and his heart was already so angry that it was distorted.

However, in order not to damage the confidence of the people below, Reiner still restrained his emotions.

"I'm a fucking stupid pig!" Reiner crazily cursed himself at that time in his heart.

Now, combining all the known clues, he has a thorough understanding of what these people are thinking.

The imperial capital contacted the southern lord, hoping to lure himself to the south by besieging Fort Creek.

Just at this time, I have drawn out all the troops in the entire northern border, and the strength of the Moland royal family will decrease sharply. Before that, they basically relied on the support of the northern border to maintain a certain degree of balance.

Now that I have brought the army to the south, the royal lords are naturally empty of troops, and this is the best time to take advantage of the vacancy.

As for himself, he was surrounded by the lords in the south. Even if he was powerful, he would still be powerless in the face of the lords in the whole south.

When he was annihilated, there would be no more obstacles in the imperial capital, and the southern lords who had fought a bloody battle with him would naturally not have the strength to continue to resist the imperial capital.

Thinking of all this, Reiner couldn't help feeling chills in his heart.

In this way, the purpose of Earl Redmara and Queen will be achieved.

Not only did most of the lords of the Merland family be killed, but also the lords in the south were reintroduced into the scope of rule. At that time, the upstarts and the southern lords continued to fight again until the little emperor became an adult.

At this point, the blood that does not belong to the Moreland family will successfully steal the throne belonging to the Moreland family, and the real legal heirs, people who care about the legitimacy of this position, have long been wiped out on the battlefield by them.

What a perfect plan, what a perfect ending, his son sat on the throne of the emperor, never needing to worry about whether anyone would doubt him, and he could blatantly flirt with the queen.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

After ending the divergence of his four thoughts, Reiner's heart was full of regret.

Logan told himself early on that the imperial capital and the south used to have close ties, but at that time, Wuer didn't take this matter to heart at all. If he could think about it in conjunction with other things at that time, then things can be avoided entirely.

Reiner's heart has sunk to the bottom, although the conclusion he got is very pessimistic, but he does not intend to give up.

Today's hard-won situation was achieved under the crisis of a washout. If he flinched when he saw difficulties, then he would have given up when he was fighting against Earl Zhebo.

Reiner's gaze gradually became firm. From now on, no matter how difficult it is, he must get through it!

Reiner licked his lips, and then said to Earl Creek: "Dear father-in-law, I'm afraid we have to fight side by side now, we are now a community!"

"Of course, our husband and son-in-law must support each other!" Earl Creek also had a serious look on his face, and said seriously.

After a while, Baron Lindauer and Sir Andrew walked into the hall.

"Lord Earl, the enemy army has once again set up camp three kilometers north of Grand Duke Rainer. We observed from the arrow tower that there are at least 20,000 enemy troops gathering there!"

"Have you seen clearly whose flags belong to each?"

Lena asked hastily.

"Not sure, but our allies in Fort Creek did not appear here, and a small number of lords who were subdued by Mrs. Farrant during the last war did not appear either!"

Speaking of the name Frante, Baron Lindauer's expression darkened instantly, because the husband-in-law of the woman he was thinking of was standing in front of him.

He felt like a defeated dog at this moment. After being robbed of his beloved woman, he still had to be respectful in front of her.

Reiner didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, he was analyzing the situation at the moment, looking for a possible turning point.

"Father-in-law, I hope you can immediately send messengers to inform those allies, let them bring the army here to confront the enemy, we must have enough strength!"

"No way, Lena, if it really works, I will look for them before you come. Although they have not made trouble as allies, it is impossible for them to take great risks to help us!"

Earl Crick is obviously very clear about the behavior of these lords, but this is also normal. If it were him or Leiner, he would also make such a choice.

"But that was in the past. Now that I am here, as long as we unite together, there will be a regular army of more than 10,000 people. This is enough to make the enemy dare not act rashly. I hope I can use this to talk to the enemy!"

Listening to Reiner's words, perhaps feeling reasonable, Earl Creek nodded and said, "Okay then, but I advise you not to have too much hope for those people, it will make you feel desperate!"

"Don't worry father-in-law, it won't happen!"

At this time, the upstarts had led the army all the way north to reach the imperial capital, and Earl Redmara led 3,000 regular troops and 400 heavy cavalry from the imperial capital to embark on the northward journey.

It is worth mentioning that the armor of these soldiers is not complete, only more than 300 of the 3,000 regular troops can wear armor...

When he wrote this letter to Reiner before, he had some plans in his mind, and after Reiner refused, he officially put them into action.

He was very cautious and left 5,000 regular troops and 400 heavy cavalry in the imperial capital. He was worried that the western lords would take advantage of the emptiness of the imperial capital to launch another rebellion. No matter how careful it was, it was right.

What's more, the combined strength of these people has nearly 15,000 regular troops, and without the royal lords of Grand Duke Leiner, the regular army will never exceed 5,000 people.

Crushing in numbers, this is where their confidence lies.
