Black Iron Crown

All of a sudden, the people in the entire imperial capital were in a state of panic, and the residents were no longer in the mood to continue working. Shangre also lowered the prices of the goods in their hands as soon as possible, in order to sell them quickly and leave the imperial capital as soon as possible.

Now, the imperial capital, the center of the Ridka Empire, and even the center of the entire continent, a place that everyone wants to come to, has become a place that everyone can't avoid.

Everyone knows that once those noble grandpas fight, they will not care about whether there will be innocent people. They only value their own interests.

"The original price was one gold coin, but now we only need five silver coins, and you can take the five silver coins immediately!" A middle-level businessman on the road directly came forward to sell his products regardless of his identity.

He can't care about any losses anymore, he just wants to sell the living things in his hand quickly, it is enough to stop the loss a little, money is so insignificant in front of life.

However, although his voice was loud, it didn't attract anyone's attention. The business in the streets of the imperial capital was extremely prosperous, and many merchants were hawking with a louder voice than his.

The businessman couldn't help feeling anxious, so he raised his volume even more. He opened his throat and shouted for a while, and the rest of the people also increased their volume.

In an instant, the imperial capital became extremely noisy. Although it was a little more depressed than before, in terms of momentum, it was even worse.

In just a few days, the merchants who had sold out their goods hurriedly left the imperial capital with their teams. No one knows that one day the lords of the north will call, and by then they will be unable to leave even if they want to leave .

Another few days passed, and this time the imperial capital was completely depressed. The merchants, big and small, disappeared without a trace.

Even citizens with a little wealth and ability at home left the imperial capital with their families.

In the Tesca Palace, the upstarts are very worried about such an emperor. It's not that they don't know what caused all this, but no matter what, they are still reluctant to part with the money.

That is a huge number that they dare not even think about in the past few lives. They just want to keep it in their castle for safekeeping, and then pass it on to future generations to continue the glory of the family.

As for the current royal family and imperial capital, in fact, their status is not very important in their hearts.

It is good to be able to keep it, but if they can't keep it, they are not willing to lose their lives for the sake of the royal family, leading to the demise of the family.

These people were originally low-level nobles,

There is a certain ideological gap with the royal lords who have received a certain amount of education.

Apart from literacy, they are not as good as the royal lords in terms of the overall situation and insight. If it weren't for the Earl of Redmara among the upstarts, I am afraid that they are still crushed by the royal lords.

Therefore, they did not consider at all how the royal lords would treat themselves once the imperial capital was captured and they and others lost their rights.

However, their lack of insight does not mean that Earl Redmara has no insight.

Earl Redmara's father was one of the first lords who surrendered to Emperor Caffett. As the eldest son, he was sent to the old emperor's court management and education when he was thirteen years old.

He was influenced by the old emperor's side, and his view of the overall situation was completely different from these short-sighted upstarts.

And that period of court life was also the hotbed of his adultery with the queen.

Earl Redmara lobbied these upstarts every day, but with little success.

Although he is the leader of the upstarts, he is not their master after all. Even the old emperor cannot make these people obey.

What's more, Earl Redmara has never been a real leader, he is just a representative and spokesperson of an interest group.

As the rumors of the imperial capital became more and more widespread, Earl Redmara was also feeling overwhelmed. If this continued, even if the royal lords did not come, the imperial capital would gradually collapse.

Prices in the current imperial capital have skyrocketed, and a large number of nobles have left, causing many goods to be out of stock. A disaster is brewing.

April 2nd, Year 27 of the Empire.

In the early morning, the imperial capital in April has entered the early spring. Although the weather is not yet warm, at least it is not cold anymore.

The cold spring is cold, and the damp and cold water vapor transpires, condenses into dew and hangs on the branches, leaves, and even grass leaves.

There is humidity in the air, but that doesn't mean the climate is mild.

The spring breeze has just arrived, and it still looks bitter. Countless masks with the same outline but similar crown lion emblems are grinning in the wind.

The ferocious lion with the crown flutters with the wind, as if the lion king with the crown is patrolling his territory with his teeth and claws.

The golden lion coat of arms, the symbol of the Moreland family, synonymous with bravery and war and king, this is the glory that comes only after victories, and every member of the Moreland family is proud of it.

This team is the Northern Royal Alliance led by Leiner. After two months of marching, they finally arrived at the imperial capital Teska.

A genuine golden crown and lion emblem flag with a red background swayed in the wind on the towering city wall of the imperial capital. This is the most authentic royal flag.

Without any embellishments such as irises, or gorse, olive branches, or long swords, it is just a simple golden lion with a crown on its head.

Looking at this flag, Reiner couldn't help feeling that things are right and people are wrong.

The last time I claimed to be here, I still accepted the canonization of the Grand Duke. In order to win over the royal lords, I even had to stand up and break with the upstarts.

But now, after only two years, he actually led the army to the imperial capital, and he really managed to approach the city.

A feeling of exaltation instantly filled Leiner's heart, looking at the 18-meter-high city wall of the imperial capital, it was inevitable that he would have an ambition to swallow mountains and rivers.

"Blow the horn! Tell those short-sighted bumpkin upstarts that we, the descendants of the Merland family, are here!"

Reiner raised his whip vigorously and said with a smile.

"Toot..." A long and low voice from the copper horn sounded.

The trumpeters took a big breath, and then let it out fiercely, their faces flushed, but their trumpets sounded really loud, covering almost the entire imperial capital.

The guards on the city wall had discovered this situation a long time ago, and hastily sent someone to the Tesca Palace to deliver the news.

And just as they were about to report, the brass horn came to everyone's ears.

Earl Redmara's face changed instantly, and his expression was extremely dignified.

The queen's face turned pale at this second, and all the upstarts who were intoxicated were frightened and at a loss by the sudden sound of the brass horn.

Be wary of not waiting for the army of the royal lords for such a long time. They thought that the Earl of Redmara had made a mistake in his judgment at that time, and they even started to mock.

Of course they were shocked when their vigilance was relaxed.

In the Tesca Palace, the empress tightly grasped the hand of the nine-year-old little emperor next to her, and unconsciously used some strength, which made the little emperor want to cry.

However, the queen couldn't care about this anymore. She looked at Earl Redmara in a panic, and shouted sharply: "You should think of a way! Those damn Molanders have already brought their troops to the city!"
