Black Iron Crown

In this way, the messenger from the imperial capital temporarily stayed in Pimon City, waiting for King Satri's reply.

And another messenger on the other side also arrived at his destination, but his experience was not as good as the first messenger.

He arrived outside the imperial capital with letters of help from the lords of the western region, only to find that the city had already been besieged by soldiers.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with it, a dozen or so wolf-like light cavalry chased after him.

Although Reiner didn't think that anyone would come to save the imperial capital from danger, constant vigilance is the quality of an army.

It happened that the light cavalry could not be used in the siege battle, so they shouldered the task of patrolling the surrounding area.

After they discovered this knight of unknown origin, they immediately rode their horses and chased after him.

Seeing this, the messenger immediately chose to run away, but the short-term continuous march had exhausted the three horses under him, and the chase stopped after just a few minutes.

Relying on their superb horsemanship, the light cavalry pulled him off the horse alive and threw him to the ground.

Just as he came back to his senses after being thrown dizzily, he found two gleaming sabers resting on his neck. The sharp blades touched his skin and he couldn't help but feel tingling pain.

"you……"

"Who are you? Why are you near our camp?"

This light cavalry is a senior cavalry archer produced by the system, so he understands the lingua franca of the Ridcar Empire. Although the remaining few light cavalry couldn't understand what they were saying, they still looked at the messenger fiercely.

The messenger had been stunned and didn't even know what to say.

Seeing such an unbearable messenger, the archer on horseback cursed in a low voice, and said viciously: "It seems that you don't know how to praise, so I can only send you to Khan. I hope you will be more understanding when you get there." !"

The light cavalrymen's name for Reiner has changed from Nayan to Khan. Reiner's current status is the ruler of an independent Grand Duchy, which is similar to the Saiga Khan of Calradia, so these mounted archers Call him so.

Just like that, the messenger was tied up and put on horseback, and led back to the camp by the light cavalry.

At this time, Leiner was watching the battle on the front line on a horse.

The crossbowmen on the well kept throwing shots towards the top of the city wall.

However, after a long time, it will be difficult to cause too much damage to the enemy, and the infantry and archers can only attack the city wall alternately.

While he was observing the battle situation, a subordinate came to his side.

"My lord, our light cavalry captured an unidentified armed man outside the camp, and he has been sent to the camp now. Would you like to take a look?"

When Reiner heard this, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, the army was just outside the city, and it was obvious that he had some purpose for daring to appear here at this time.

After thinking for a while, Reiner said to Earl Leyland beside him: "You take care of me here first, and I will deal with it!"

Leiner rode back to the camp, and saw a young man tied up in front of his tent, with blood all over his mouth and nose, which was obviously the work of the light cavalry.

Reiner walked up to the light cavalry and said, "Take him to my tent first."

With that said, he entered the tent first.

Two mounted archers dragged the messenger into the tent and said, "Khan, we found him two kilometers away from the camp and captured him. He must have evil intentions for spying on our camp! "

Reiner looked at the messenger with a smile and said, "Tell me your identity and the purpose of coming here, I swear on my own glory, as long as you tell your identity and purpose, I will never hurt you!"

"But... if you dare to lie or refuse to answer, there will be countless tortures waiting for you. You are a smart person. I hope you can think clearly!"

Although Reiner's face was kind, the messenger's liver and gallbladder were torn apart by these words.

He couldn't help but burst into tears, the beating he suffered was really unjust, at that time he was just too scared to speak, but when he arrived at the camp, before he could speak, he was beaten severely.

Looking at the messenger who shed tears of grievance, Reiner couldn't help but froze for a moment, wondering if he was scared by his hideous appearance?

The messenger whimpered and said, "I... I am the messenger of the Earl of Arlando in the western region. I came to the imperial capital with a letter from all the lords to ask for help. I really don't have any other ideas..."

His crying can be said to make those who hear it sad and those who see it cry. After hearing this, Reiner felt a little embarrassed, and scolded: "In this case, quickly take out the letter. What happened to make it worth running so far for help? "

The courier tremblingly took out an envelope with wax from his pocket, and handed it to Reiner.

Leiner tore off the fire seal casually, and took out the letter inside.

As he read the content above, his brows became more and more wrinkled. He had never thought about the Bazalan Kingdom's invasion.

In the past, the Ridka Empire was strong, and no one dared to invade even when the two directions in the southwest rebelled together. Now someone is invading, which really catches people off guard.

After thinking for a while, Reiner said, "Very well, you are safe, now I will release you, and you can go to the city to convey the news!"

Reiner not only wants to let him enter the imperial capital, but also let the lords of the western region understand that this once powerful imperial capital is already isolated and helpless. He is willing to take care of himself and has no control over you.

The messenger who was covered in bruises left the barracks in a state of embarrassment, and ran towards the city wall of the imperial capital.

After receiving this news, the empress was even more devastated. The western region was attacked. Naturally, the enemy was not only targeting the western region. Their real target was undoubtedly the behemoth empire.

However, the empress and the upstarts are unable to rescue them. Now that the imperial capital is in danger of protecting itself, the western border can still be taken care of.

"Let's go, you have also seen the situation here, the imperial capital is unable to support the western border, let your master hold on for a while, and soon we can eliminate the rebels outside the city to support!"

The messenger left disappointed. Although the queen's words were beautiful, he was not a fool.

The morale of the army outside the city is like a rainbow, while the army inside the castle is full of mourning. It is clear at a glance which side is stronger and weaker.

Leiner looked at the city wall of the imperial capital and showed a meaningful smile. The majesty of the royal family and the little emperor will gradually lose.

King Bukeden's capital is Pimon City, where most of the kingdom's lords are gathered, and they are discussing whether to intervene in the affairs of the empire.

King Satri looked at the vassals who were discussing a lot, and he already had some calculations in his mind.

"Everyone, what do you think?" King Satri interrupted everyone's discussion, looking back and forth and asking.
