Black Iron Crown

Seeing Baron Azak who was almost insane, Reiner's expression twisted slightly.

Although there were many more cruel scenes than this on the battlefield, the battle was over after all, and it was hard for him to feel uncomfortable when such a scene suddenly appeared in front of him.

However, his nerves had grown stronger under the exercise, and the crazy Baron Azak shouted loudly, his voice was like a desperate, desperate lone wolf.

"Defeat Earl Zhebo! Divide up everyone's territory!"

He no longer cared about such high-sounding excuses as being loyal to the royal family or crusade against rebellion, and now he only wanted to gain greater benefits, which could make up for his lost benefits.

Being disturbed by him like this, nothing can be done, the chaos lasted for a while, and finally broke up.

The two captured Baron Reiner did not execute immediately, and he kept these people for other purposes.

It was publicly announced that Babsburg, who took over Baron Belem on his behalf and shared the income of that territory equally with other lords, this matter is temporarily over. After cleaning the battlefield, the lords returned to Babs easily. The castle controls Baron Belem's family and relatives.

Brutally told them what Baron Belem had done, then announced that Fort Babs had been deprived, and brutally drove the group of people out of the castle.

Only a group of lords were left, like robbers who plundered and plundered, moved out of the castle's food, wine and meat, and began to drink and drink. The depressed mood caused by too much loss on the battlefield also improved a little.

Reiner is still a little uncomfortable about this, and in less than a year, he has not been able to completely bring his values ​​into the values ​​of the world lord who has been reversed.

But he didn't pretend to be that good guy, he wouldn't do such a thing if he wanted to block it. On the contrary, he just felt a little uncomfortable, and didn't think they were wrong, and his subjective consciousness could still accept it.

Although Sir Valas and the others were not elated, they were in a good mood. Although they missed the opportunity to wipe out the enemy, no one would be unhappy to achieve such a brilliant victory.

Sir Horn was sitting next to Reiner. In this war, of the thirty heavy cavalry and one hundred armed soldiers he brought from the imperial capital, there were only nineteen cavalry and only nineteen armed soldiers left. More than 50 people were killed, and nearly half of the casualties were paid.

Even if he can't give much compensation, it's always good to show some kindness.

At the wine table, Sir Horn frequently toasted Reiner, Sir Wallas, Sir Kede and Sir Leyland. After all, he still wanted to ask Reiner when he came here.

A month has passed, and if you can't bring a large amount of steel back, you will definitely be panicked.

The other lords gradually became happier while drinking. Although they suffered huge losses, the enemy's losses were also terrible. What's more, they got a lot of spoils when cleaning the battlefield.

Although the military strength has been greatly weakened, but the things obtained are quite a lot, but it is a pity that the only place in the north where goods can be traded on a large scale is the city of Mecaron in the south, and that is the old lair of Earl Zhebo , if they go, they will be arrested.

And the road to the interior of the empire was completely blocked by Earl Zhebo. Although he suffered huge losses in this battle, his strength was still large in comparison.

It is simply impossible to pass his blockade.

In addition, the other lords didn't know what Sir Horne's intention was, and thought that he was appointed by the royal family to help the besieged royal side.

Reiner wished that they didn't know this, so he didn't explain it to anyone.

But the sky failed, because Sir Horn was already wandering around the banquet hall with a glass of wine at this time.

He's not a no-brainer,

The folly of putting all his eggs in one basket can be seen from the fact that he was able to be signed by the royal family to the North to perform this vital task.

In a short while, the news that the royal family was going to purchase a large amount of steel in the northern border spread like a storm.

They are all a group of poor people. The northern border is not rich, and the output in the fields is not much. They can't do business like the lords in the interior when the land in their territories is barren, or collect road taxes from passing merchants.

Their year-round production depends entirely on the grain in the arable land and the sheep they raise, and they dare not slaughter the cattle at all. Generally speaking, a lord only has a dozen or so cattle, and they all rely on them to plow the land, which is absolutely reluctant. killed.

Finally, some lucky lords have some small veins in their territories, but when they are sold to Mecaron City, the price will be suppressed by Earl Zhebo. One ton of steel can only be exchanged for one gold coin.

In the empire, ten gold coins may not be able to buy these steels, so when they heard the news, they were overjoyed.

They obtained a lot of spoils on the battlefield. Although some armors and weapons were too damaged to be used, they could be sold to the royal family by melting and casting city steel.

Some lords with steel in their territories were ecstatic, while those lords without iron ore were beating their chests. They were all lords of the northern border. How could such a good thing really have nothing to do with them?

Regardless of what the lords think in their hearts, Sir Horne just wants to complete his mission, so he has to feel embarrassed about the lords who don't have steel.

Reiner's face was livid, it seemed that he had underestimated the heroes of the world, and he directly disrupted his plan to pay back the money by asking for a lot of money. After shopping around, the situation between the two sides has changed from a seller's market to a buyer's The market itself has lost the initiative to price.

The banquet ended in a hurry, and the other lords returned to their territories to prepare as soon as possible, while Sir Horn followed Reiner to his Fort Moreland.

When he led the army back to the range of Moreland County, the soldiers became even more excited.

Leiner gave the soldiers 20% of the spoils, and the knights also got 20%. After the division, the ordinary soldiers also made a lot of money. How could they be unhappy?

Along the way, seeing this army with slightly dilapidated equipment, but with a high spirit, I knew that the war must have been won, otherwise the people who came here must be vicious enemies.

They all took off their hats and faced the army defending their homeland, watching them gradually move forward.

This is Fort Kahn, the southernmost territory of Leiner. After being brought into Leiner's command here, their life is much better. The large-scale purchase of arrow shafts and gun shafts has left them with a lot of spare money.

With their lives getting better and better, they became more and more satisfied with Reiner's rule.
