Black Iron Crown

"Emperor Reiner of the Ridka Empire, as a child of the Holy Father, I hope you can correct your mistakes. Kafete of the Moreland family arrogated to establish this country, and claimed to be the supreme emperor, privately interpreting the Holy Father. the teachings of the Father, and have strayed from the grace of the Father."

"Now that Calfeet is dead, and Carter, who claimed to be a false emperor, has been hanged by you, I hope you can correct your evil ways, remove the title of emperor, cancel the title of the Ridka Empire, restore the name of the kingdom, and return to the Holy Father in the arms of the

The content of the letter is very lengthy, full of threats and lures, with only one purpose, that is to make Reiner give up the title of emperor, and cancel the title of empire, and become one of the kingdoms that believe in the Church of Rosa again.

As for those intimidating words, Leiner simply took them as fart. How could he give up the title of emperor after all the hard work he got after being frightened by the other party's words.

What's more, the title of emperor is the honor of all members of the entire Merland family. Many of Leiner's vassals are descendants of the royal family. If he gave up his title due to persecution, the vassals would not be the first to agree.

What's more, if he gave up the title of emperor, his prestige would be greatly damaged, and even the foundation of his rule would be affected.

Without even thinking about it, Reiner picked up a pen and wrote a reply letter. There were only a few words on the letter.

"Impossible, prepare to go to war!"

No address, no greetings, Reiner's reply letter was very rude, but he didn't care about it.

Two people who are about to fight to the death on the battlefield, why should they care about this? Could it be that after the Pope's victory, he would be merciful because of Rainer's humility and courtesy? Or will Reiner give up the emperor's title out of politeness after victory?

Since he chose to tear his skin apart, then simply don't leave any room for maneuver.

Although the number of Jihad coalition forces is large, the actual force advantage on the mountain is not very large. Leiner also has more than 63,000 people in his hands, and the gap with the enemy is only more than 7,000 people.

In a war of this scale, the gap between thousands of people is not insurmountable, and the outcome is still unknown.

After sending the reply letter to the officer, the officer was immediately driven back to the other party's camp.

The camp built by the Jihad coalition forces is very large, with a diameter of five or six kilometers. Although it is not as heavily guarded and strong as Leiner's barracks, it is much stronger than the enemies Leiner faced in the past.

Their food supplies are still being transported here from the rear in a steady stream, and an endless stream of convoys are constantly entering the camp.

After getting Reiner's reply, Pope Rosa immediately became angry, and he was very annoyed by Reiner's reply.

Although the authority of the Rosa Church has been getting smaller and smaller in the past thirty years, no one in those countries in the West dares to belittle the Pope so much.

After all, theoretically speaking, he is still the servant of the Holy Father and the spokesperson in the world. What really made Pope Rosa angry was not entirely Reiner's rejection, and a large part of his faux pas was also a factor.

"Since the two sides can't reach an agreement, then we can only prepare for war!" Mekasha said quietly beside her.

"Let me think about it!" Pope Rosa pondered for a while, but didn't make up his mind right away. In his opinion, Reiner was very worth wooing.

Although this time he started the holy war,

But after all, everything is different from before. In Pope Rosa's view, the role of winning over Reiner is far greater than plundering the empire.

Looting the empire can indeed enhance one's own authority, and at the same time feed the countries participating in the war, so that other countries can see that there is meat to follow the church.

But now, the enemy they faced had changed. The little emperor with a weak army had already been defeated and was sent to the gallows.

It was replaced by the strong and powerful Lehner. If there is a real war, although Pope Rosa doesn't think there is any suspense about the outcome, it is not good to pay too much.

On the contrary, if you draw this Reiner to your side, then the benefits obtained are definitely not comparable to simply plundering the empire. Long-term tithes and other trade tributes are relatively better than plundering the empire and dividing up the gains The benefits are much greater.

This is not the most important thing, what Pope Rosa values ​​is the political advantages and military gains brought about by Rainer's surrender.

Once Reiner falls into the arms of the Rosa Church, the effect it will produce is absolutely huge, even stronger than the effect of the Three Kingdoms.

After all, Lena is a powerful ruler, not only the territory under his command is huge, but also the number and combat effectiveness of the army are not comparable to that of ordinary kingdoms.

Listening to Pope Rosa's words, the rest of the kings also remained silent. They didn't care whether to start a war or negotiate a peace.

If there is a war, they don't think that such a large army will be defeated by 20,000 to 30,000 enemy troops. After everything is over, even if they have to give a lot to the Church of Rosa, they will each be able to obtain great benefits.

As for whether the church would be willing to distribute benefits to the nations, these kings were not worried. After all, if they wanted to mobilize the nations, they would have to give benefits for so long. Otherwise, who would be willing to respond to the call of the church next time?

At the same time, it is also one of the purposes of Pope Rosa's formation of the coalition to let other countries see the benefits of working with the church.

If they can't fight, it will be even better for these kings. Not only do the soldiers under their command not need to suffer losses, but they can also gain huge benefits.

They didn't believe that Pope Rosa was willing to give up huge benefits and the support of so many kings just to win over a Reiner. Even if the other party threw himself into the church camp, he would definitely have to pay a huge price.

War is always and always a continuation of politics.

After a while, Pope Rosa sighed and said, "Since Grand Duke Rainer is unwilling to give up his emperor title and continue to act recklessly like this, then we can only stop his crimes on behalf of the Holy Father!"

Having said this, the kings adjusted their sitting postures, preparing to listen to the Pope's final order.

"Now, let us declare the beginning of this war, send the letter of war to the barracks of Grand Duke Reiner, and make an appointment for the time of the battle. Please believe that we who fight for the Holy Father will surely win the final victory !"

Pope Rosa said, but the kings were present but nodded in agreement, and then left the big tent to get ready.

The battle between the two sides was still constrained in a more dignified way, such as sneak attacks and food shortages did not happen.

It's not that both parties are willing to do this, and there is really no chance.

The sentry battle between the two sides showed that both sides were very aware of the enemy's precautions, for fear of any mistakes that would lead to the failure of the war.

Therefore, the two sides without any flaws naturally did not have sneak attacks or some other showy operations, and an upright battle became the only choice.
