Black Iron Crown

Looking at the battlefield full of mud and blood, Leiner's mood was already very low.

He lost too much power in this battle, not only the knights who had taken to attack the granary before, he also saw many soldiers sacrificed on the frontal battlefield.

The full-body chain armor and the coat of arms pattern on his body obviously belonged to him.

"My lord, in this battle we killed 388 recruits, 257 were slightly injured, and 120 were seriously injured. Sergeant Morland killed 21, 19 were slightly injured, and 19 were seriously injured. Eight people."

"Five people from the Golden Lion Guard were killed, nine people were slightly injured, and two people were seriously injured. There were no casualties for the crossbowmen and archers..." Baron Ryland came to Reiner's side and asked him to report the number of casualties this time.

After hearing the news, Reiner's face showed neither sadness nor joy, but his heart was already filled with great pain.

More than 400 people were killed in battle alone. It is uncertain how many seriously injured soldiers will survive. It is unknown whether the slightly injured soldiers will die due to wound infection and tetanus.

Moreover, not only the infantry, but also his cavalry troop suffered a great loss. When they rushed to the battle, two more Scarlet Griffon knights fell from their horses, and now there are only nine of them left...

This is not counting the losses suffered by his vassals. It is conservatively estimated that Leiner's subordinates lost nearly a thousand people in this battle, and nearly one-sixth of their troops were lost on this battlefield.

Thinking of this, Leiner felt a throbbing pain in his heart. It was not just because of the pension issue. The army he had just expanded lost so much in a blink of an eye. In the long run, the population growth in the northern border would become extremely large. slow.

The battlefield was finally cleaned up, and the corpses of the soldiers fighting the rebels were taken away by their comrades in arms. As for the property on those people, it naturally became one of the trophies of others.

However, no one was willing to take the effort to clean up the corpses of the rebels, and they were just like this in the wilderness, soaked in the mud mixed with blood and rain.

According to statistics after the war, the casualties of the anti-rebel army reached an astonishing 8,000 people. Of course, the losses under Leiner's command were 1/8 of that.

The loss of other lords was mostly caused by being chased and killed by the enemy while fleeing.

The rebels had already escaped a long way, and the muddy roads everywhere made it unsuitable for pursuit, so the lords who suppressed the rebels decided to return to Castlen Castle to rest.

Two days later, Reiner was resting in Castlen Castle's room, but the Earl of Pushton knocked on his door.

The Earl of Preston walked into the room and said to Reiner: "Have you heard about Reiner? We estimate that we will pursue the enemy army tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow? Chase the enemy?" Leiner frowned.

"Yes, haven't you heard?"

"No, I have been staying in the room for the past two days, and I have not mixed with other lords."

"It's like this. After we won the victory and rested, the lords of the royal family felt that it was a great shame to be defeated by the rebels at that time, and wanted to regain our own face from the rebels..."

"Recover face?" Reiner stood up from the bed, looking at Earl of Princeton in disbelief.

He was amazed at the audacity of the gang,

Where do they have any face?

During this time, Reiner had heard the reasons for the defeat at that time.

They were unwilling to support each other, resulting in being besieged and defeated by the enemy, and everyone was scrambling to escape. Is there any face left after the battle has reached this point?

If he hadn't led the knights to attack the enemy's rear in time, if it hadn't been for his army and the other two earls' army not retreating, these people would have become dried meat on the gallows long ago. What face is it their turn to get back?

What's more, the battle has been over for two days, and they didn't go after them at that time. Now that the child is dead, they come to milk?

Hastily summoned Sarang and another follower to change their clothes, and Rainer followed the Earl of Pushton to the hall of Castlenburg.

Before entering the hall, a commotion was heard outside the door, and it was so noisy inside that it was impossible to hear what was being said.

"What's your opinion?" The two didn't push the door in immediately, and Reiner looked at the Earl of Preston and asked.

"Otherwise? Why do you think I'm looking for you?" Earl of Princeton said with a smile.

Reiner also smiled back, then pushed open the door of the hall and walked in.

Seeing that Reiner, who had never appeared before, appeared here, the arguing lords instantly fell silent.

"Why did he come? Doesn't he not care about these things?"

"Who knows, maybe he is here to show off his achievements!"

"His feat? What was his feat? The feat of a failed plan to burn the enemy's granaries?"

"Keep your voice down... Without his support, we'll see first, I'm afraid..."

"Hey, without him, I would be the one who defeated the enemy. What is that? Is defeating those weak rebels considered a feat?"

Although these lords stopped arguing loudly, they turned to whispering in private with acquaintances.

Reiner ignored the group of people, walked straight to the long table in the middle, found a chair and sat down under the eyes of everyone.

"Count Rainer, why did you come here suddenly?" Count Redmara asked while sitting on the main seat.

"As a member of the royal family, I can't miss such an important meeting. I'll listen to what you guys mean, don't worry about me!" Reiner said with a wave of his hand.

As he spoke, he winked at Earl Jorral, then nodded to Baron Andor and Earl Merier with a smile.

Listening to Reiner's words, Earl Redmara seemed very embarrassed, because although he had informed Reiner about this matter, he only sent him a message lightly, and stated that he could participate or not.

As a result, Reiner didn't even know what was discussed in the past two days. If the Earl of Princeton hadn't informed him, he might still be kept in the dark.

The table gradually became embarrassing, and finally, an earl coughed lightly, and then said: "I think we should still pursue the enemy, they have completely failed, we should take this opportunity to completely wipe out the enemy." They are destroyed!"

"Yes, that's right, what Earl Ron said makes sense!" A earl immediately nodded in agreement, but he raised his eyes to look at the others, and seeing that no one continued to speak, he couldn't help but shut his mouth embarrassingly.

"Count Rainer, what do you think?" Count Redmara looked at the crowd who were afraid to speak, and asked with a gentle smile on Rainer.

"My opinion? What can I say? The Earl of Redmara never asked for my opinion!" Reiner said sarcastically, and he didn't need to save face for this person at this point.

His own strength has already far surpassed him, not to mention that he concealed himself first, and Reiner's impression of him has already been extremely bad. ...
