Black Iron Crown

Chapter 101: Harvest

   This situation continued until the day Sir Cod returned.

   The sun in spring is very warm, not as sweltering and sultry as in summer. It is cool and gentle when it blows on people. Except for the occasional spring rain, spring is almost everyone's favorite season.

   What's more, the northern border itself is slightly dry, and the rainfall is insufficient. The occasional rain will make people feel happy because it can water the seedlings in the cultivated land.

   The weather is getting warmer, and sometimes it can make people feel hot, because it is almost summer.

   At this time, a mighty army appeared outside of Fort Morand, although not huge.

   They wore the same red lion crested iris crested coat of arms as on the castle. At the front, there were five knights wearing blood-red armor and exuding a strong aura. These were the Scarlet Gryphon knights.

Behind, ten Sergeants Morande were neatly arranged in the form of a marching army. They had spears in their hands, and their armor was placed on the carriage at the back. Although they looked light and concise, they had combat effectiveness. But definitely not to be underestimated.

Behind them are twenty armed soldiers. Most of them are veterans who have followed Reiner from the very beginning. After several battles, their strength has soared rapidly. They received a period of training from Sir Leiland. After that, the discipline has become much stronger. Although there is still a big gap with the Morand sergeants, at least it is also similar.

   "My Lord Baron! Sir Cod has returned. They were born outside the castle and waited!" A servant knocked on Rainer's door.

   "My uncle, he's back?" Rainer immediately got up from the chair, a feeling of dizziness surged to his head, he swayed the corner of the table, and it took a few minutes to relax.

   This is all caused by poor rest during this period, otherwise, given the strength of this body, such a situation would never happen.

   Blinking vigorously, Rainer tidied his clothes and walked out of the study. The servant had not left at this time. How dare he leave like this without Rainer's response.

   "Let someone open the gate of the city!" Rainer has become a lot silent recently, and said to the servant cherished words like gold.

   He wanted to see how much benefit Sir Cod brought to himself this time. If enough, the bone china exchange can be put on the agenda.

Sir Cod quickly led people into the castle. Except for the six carriages used to carry food, tents, and armor, the other seven carriages were loaded with gold coins. Although Rainer is now The amount is not yet known, but it will definitely not be less.

   "You are finally back, my uncle, have you been going well along the way?"

   "Ah, everything went smoothly... Let's go to your study to discuss it!" Sir Cod looked at the haggard-faced Rainer, and said a little hesitantly.

   The two entered Leiner’s study one after the other. After sitting down separately, Sir Cod said straightforwardly: "This time we have gained a lot, with 510 gold coins!"

Hearing this number, Leiner's eyes filled with bloodshot eyes widened. This amount far exceeded his expectations. The jade rank exceeded his expected number of more than 100 gold coins. This is the Molander of the past. Fort’s income for a full ten years.

Even in Morand County, which now has the buff bonus of the Wealth of Nations and commercial behavior, it can draw out 60 or 70 gold coins in a year. This is still the initial development of business and has a buff bonus, and the territory has been fully expanded. Five times the situation, not to mention that Rainer does not plan to sell grain in the future, and every year he can draw out a dozen or twenty gold coins to burn the fragrance.

   It's just a transaction, and the extra part exceeds the annual income of the five barons.

A total of 470 gold coins, placed in the past of Fort Merland, is a total of four hundred years of income. It was an unimaginable figure before, and if this amount is heard by other people, it is estimated that they will also be shocked. Nothing can be added.

   "What's the matter? How can there be so much more?" Leiner asked with joy, and even the depression caused by Mekatha's incident was washed away a lot.

Sir Cod took a look at Rainer, and then said: "This time I still find Earl Weasley to sell, but he said that he can't get such a large amount at once. Recently, the royal family and a series of royal family members are there. Expand your strength!"

The royal family immediately formed a heavy cavalry corps apart from the knights loyal to the emperor. There were as many as two hundred people. Our thirty-two sets of five-ring buckle armor were all bought by the Earl of Wesley. Used to equip them! "

"And the four-ring buckle armor they obtained during the battle didn't ask for too much. They only took fifteen sets. This time Earl Weasley bought it for himself, but he seems to have spent a lot elsewhere. Money, so I didn’t buy it all!"

"Finally, I took the heraldic ring you gave and found the Redmara family's residence in the imperial capital, and it happened that Earl Redmara was also there. After I explained his intentions, he took the rest of the equipment~ lightnovelpub.net~ The spear head is sold at the price of five coppers each, while the long sword is sold at the price of a silver coin!"

  Rainer nodded after listening. This amount of money has greatly exceeded his expectations, which has made him very satisfied.

   "So, what happened to the Imperial Capital recently?"

"Yes, the imperial capital has been very turbulent recently, and it has further accelerated the pace of arms expansion, because the emperor’s condition has become more serious. The nine-year-old crown prince is already in the queen’s family, as well as all royalist lords. With the support of the nobles, he is ready to succeed at any time.

   The lonely large and small lords also stared at the rich territories of the royal family and the prosperous cities, which further aggravated the confrontation between the two sides. The two-hundred-man heavy cavalry unit faced off because of this.

Count Weasley and Count Redmara told me that they hope to bring the next batch of equipment to the imperial capital as soon as possible, because when the battle is likely to break out, they urgently need to expand their army and also need these important equipment. Come to arm the soldiers.

  Rainer frowned after hearing these words. He didn't expect the old emperor's body to collapse so quickly. Is it true that troubled times are coming?

  Sir Cod continued: "Besides, Earl Weasley and Earl Redmara asked me to convey a word to you at the same time."

"That is, they hope that you can integrate the lords of the north as soon as possible. They already know what you are doing here, especially where Earl Jebo is. They hope that you can contain him as much as possible and continue on a large scale. Transporting iron materials and equipment to the imperial capital, now Earl Zhebo has blatantly used various excuses to intercept the iron transportation of the royal family and various royalist lords!"
