Black Iron Crown

Although Reiner said so, he was not fully sure about tomorrow's battle. The number of enemies was crushing, fully three times the strength of his own troops.

It is indeed a very difficult thing to say that it is easy to defeat the enemy.

What's more, as long as there is a war, there will be no big or small fights.

It is not realistic to want to win a small game in the battle to deter the enemy. At this point, as long as the fight is started, it is an all-out war.

However, even if the enemy army cannot be completely defeated, this war should at least achieve its goal.

It is best to consume the enemy's strength and let them retreat in the face of difficulties. Even if the enemy cannot give up the idea of ​​besieging oneself, the rest of the lords should see their own strength and make them willing to join their camp.

So, when Leiner's order was issued, the soldiers stationed outside the city began to prepare intensively.

They maintained their armor and wiped it with a damp rag.

The same was true of their swords and spears, and there was a rustling sound throughout the camp.

Although they often have to polish their weapons and maintain their armor on weekdays, this is a comfort in front of the station, and it has almost become a habit of everyone.

What happened here has been conveyed by Leiner to his soldiers, and in this situation, he can't let the soldiers fighting on the battlefield know nothing.

Only by arousing the anger and desire to survive in their hearts can they burst out with the most powerful strength, isn't that the case when the boat is overwhelmed.

Kerim held a fine long sword in his hand, and rubbed it back and forth on the whetstone, checking to see if the blade was sharp from time to time.

His movements were very rude and seemed to contain anger.

After a while, he retracted the long sword in his hand into its sheath, and summoned all the soldiers under his command.

At this time, he was already a captain commanding 150 people, equivalent to a junior officer in the army. As the first person to follow Leiner, he had participated in almost all the wars.

The soldiers gathered in front of the camp, and Kerim began to lecture.

"Soldiers! This is a conspiracy! The damned enemy lured us here in an attempt to annihilate us all!"

"They broke their promises! They tore up the contract we fought so hard!" They wanted to keep us here forever,

Let us be separated from our wives, children, and parents forever! "

"They want to take away our happy life! Are you willing to just let it go?" Kerim shouted hoarsely.

The soldiers below were also in high spirits after hearing Kerim's words. After they entered the army, they really lived a good life, with high salaries and high-quality meals.

Everyone envies their career with a decent salary, and their family has also received the privilege of reducing taxes. Life is getting better day by day, and their family is thriving.

And at this time, someone told me that this group of people is going to take your life and the happiness of your family, and the anger in their hearts can be imagined.

"Absolutely not allowed!"

"What care about them!"

"Victory is always ours! No one can beat us!"

"If we can beat them once, we can beat them a second time!"

The soldiers shouted and roared loudly, as if the enemy who wanted to take everything away from them was right in front of them.

That night, the entire barracks was filled with such emotions, with cheers and roars coming and going endlessly.

Reiner listened to the shouts outside in the middle of the castle, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help curling up. It seemed that his goal had been achieved.

In the enemy camp three kilometers away, the atmosphere was completely opposite.

Listening to this faint voice, the mood of the soldiers seemed slightly depressed.

"I really don't know why we are fighting, this is simply asking us to die!"

"That Grand Duke Leiner, why did he become the Grand Duke? Isn't it because he defeated us that he got this title?"

"What's wrong with him?" A recruit who had just joined the army curiously asked the veteran beside him. He had not participated in the last counter-insurgency war, and he didn't know the horror of the enemy at all.

"Listen boy, our failure in the last war was because of this Grand Duke Leiner. He was still an earl at that time, but the fighting power of his army is something I will never forget in my life!"

"Their knights are so strong, their horses are stronger than the tallest bull, and their knights are brave and good at fighting, stronger than our bravest soldiers!"

"Even their ordinary soldiers have this unparalleled courage. No matter what kind of charge we launch, they still stab the spears in their hands unhurriedly as if they couldn't see it!"

"Really, I swear I can't see any emotion in their eyes, just like puppets, and their strength is the only one I have ever seen in my life. It is an irresistible force!"

"Do you know what it feels like to be pierced alive on a two-layer wooden shield?" He said, rolling up his sleeves, revealing a scar and saying, "This is what they gave me after piercing the shield. Leave traces!"

"Perhaps I should also thank them. Because of this scar, my successful seat wounded soldier was removed from the battlefield. Now, can you understand what kind of enemy we are going to face?"

Seeing the bewildered expression of the recruits beside him, the veteran was helpless. He pointed to a knight and said, "Did you see that, the armor is even better than that, and none of our enemies have the same set!"

"One set for each!" The recruit's expression changed instantly.

He couldn't intuitively feel what the veteran said to him before, but when he talked about the armor, the recruit instantly understood.

"This... is this an enemy we can defeat?"

"Who knows..." The old soldier shook his head and said, "You will follow me tomorrow, find a good time to give yourself a hard time, then we can withdraw.

"Yeah!" The recruit nodded hastily, he did not hesitate to face such an enemy.

In this era, the starry sky is still very beautiful.

Countless stars hang high in the sky. Under the same sky, the two camps have different moods.

Early the next morning, Reiner put on his armor and walked out of the castle with Earl Creek and his army.

He has already sent envoys to engage in a battle with the enemy. The enemy must monitor the whole process within a mere three kilometers, and it is impossible to launch a surprise attack.

Therefore, Leiner intends to conduct a negotiation with the enemy to see if this war can be avoided as much as possible.

If it drags on, I'm afraid the north will be even more dangerous.

The envoy told Earl Lorance the news of the battle, and he readily agreed and promised to have a meeting with Reiner.

November twenty-sixth, twenty-sixth year of the empire.

Earl Lorrance ordered the coalition troops to retreat five kilometers to form a formation, and Leiner also led the army to the plain battlefield.
