Black Iron Crown

Chapter 111: Count Jebo's change

By assigning these slaves to the other two mines, it finally made up a lot of manpower to make mining faster. There are three iron mines in Morland County, except for the one that is being further excavated in Fort Morland. In addition to the mineral veins, there are also one in Goerborg and Kahnburg.

Time flies quickly. Two months passed in a blink of an eye. The Merandburg slave trapping team conducted two more slave traps. The efficiency and gains of these two times were much higher than before, and the total amount was obtained. More than three hundred clad slaves.

   But because they captured the Cladds in this way, the other party's vigilance has become higher, making the capture operation more difficult, and even some tribes have directly migrated to the deeper part of the boreal forest.

   In two months, Reiner and Mekatha exchanged two letters, and the two of them used a letter to express their thoughts in two places nearly a hundred kilometers apart.

   On the side of Count Zhebo, he also started to move around. He sent several letters to Rainer, all of which were urging Rainer to swear allegiance to him as soon as possible, and the empire was even more turbulent at this time.

There are even several great nobles who are garrisoning troops on the edge of their territory and the imperial family. The southern part of the imperial control power is slightly lower, and the melee has begun. The major lords are integrating the surrounding forces, hoping to have more chances of winning against the imperial family. .

   There are also countless little lords who took advantage of the wind to rapidly expand their strength, making the empire mudflat even more muddy.

Earl Zhebo can’t wait any longer. He is eager to integrate the Northern Territory as soon as possible to get the most benefit in the chaos that follows. There are almost no high lords in the North, and only those who can influence Earl Zhebo’s plan are now. Rainer ruled over five barons.

   Although this strength is still not a big deal in Earl Zhebo, it can also cause a lot of trouble to Earl Zhebo if he unites with some lords who are loyal to the royal family.

   Rainer was full of thoughts at this time, and stood in front of the study window and looked out. It was already mid-summer. The endless arable land outside was golden, and the wheat field with no end in sight was almost in the harvest season.

   The growth of these crops this year is very good. The yield per mu alone is estimated to be 30-40% higher than every year. What's more, he has also cultivated more arable land, and it is easy for him to double the grain compared with last year.

The summer afternoon is the most difficult one. The sun hangs high in the sky and emits a blazing fire. The ground seems to be burnt with general heat. Not only people, but even animals are quite uncomfortable with this heat. The sheep are still listless after they have cut their wool, and the horses also need to be carefully taken care of at this time, otherwise they may get disease due to the hot weather.

As for Rainer’s room, it’s very cool. The castle itself is very cold in a building that doesn’t see the sun all day long. In addition, in winter, the servants in the castle excavated a lot of ice and stored it in the cellar. Until now, most of the occupants' rooms in the entire castle have ice cubes for neutralization.

  Especially in Lena's room, the heat from outside could not be transmitted into the room at all, it was very cool and comfortable.

   Just as Rainer was lying in bed and was about to enjoy the "rare" leisure time, Logan knocked on his door.

"My Lord Baron, Count Zhebo has begun to woo lords from all over the world. It is estimated that he wants to integrate the northern territory as soon as possible. Now at least ten lords have joined him. Now the nobles who have become Count Zhebo have at least Forty people!"

   Hearing the words, Rainer got up from the bed immediately, forty lords, this is definitely not a small force, even if each lord is not strong, at least 30 regular troops still came out.

   Counting this up, Earl Zhebo was able to mobilize at least 1,200 regular troops. What a terrifying military strength, even for the royal family, only 8,000 regular troops can be brought out.

   If the entire northern territory is unified by Earl Zhebo, four to five thousand regular troops will not be impossible, and he really has the hope of aspiring to imperial power.

Frowning his brows tightly, Count Zhebo's movements are too fast. Although he has been drawing lords from nearby territories as allies during this period, after all, he has not become famous early, and his strength is completely inferior to Count Zhebo. That's so powerful, so only two lords who are close to the royal family are the only ones who have reached an alliance with him, and the rest are still on the sidelines.

Count Zhebo's expansion speed is so fast that he can't catch up with the opponent at all even with his back leaning on the system, frowning, thinking carefully, but there is no good way, he can only say to Logan: "I see, you continue to monitor other people's movements, and immediately report anything to me!"

   "Yes, Lord Baron, I understand!"

   After Logan had left, Rainer frowned tightly and bit his nails, thinking about the matter carefully.

   It was terrible. The forces that Count Zhebo is now integrating are completely beyond his ability to resist. In addition, his territory is at the southernmost tip of the Northern Territory, completely isolating himself from the opportunity to seek help from the royal family and the royalist lords.

   can say so, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is now completely isolated and helpless. The opponent’s strength is an out-and-out behemoth for the current self, but now he has no solution. He can only exchange for soldiers by gaining merit points through killing. Otherwise, there would be no way to get more troops.

   Suddenly, Rainer jumped off the bed.

"Get meritorious points through killing!" Lena murmured and repeated these words, which reminded him that the recent slave trapping team killed 157 carats in the process of trapping slaves in the boreal forest. Deren, this allowed him to earn one hundred and fifty-seven merit points.

His eyes were slightly squinted. It is indeed a feasible way to obtain merit points by killing a large number of Klads. This will not only not anger other lords, but will increase his reputation. Not only that, but also a large sum of money. Credit for merit points.

Reiner, who figured this out, immediately prepared. Although these clads are a bit innocent, there is no other way in this situation. If these clads are not killed, then he will be defeated and killed. .

   As the saying goes, righteousness does not control wealth, and mercy does not control soldiers. If you can't overcome this little sympathy, then you will be a lord, go home and hug your children.

   After passing over half a year, Rainer has gradually adapted to this law of survival. Without any hesitation or pity, he confirmed the implementation of this plan.

   He wants to surprise everyone, when hundreds of powerful system units are exchanged, it will inevitably make other lords startled, not to mention Count Zhebo.

   Thinking of this, Lena couldn't help showing a cruel smile on his face. Behind this smile were the innocent lives of countless Klads, but he had no choice.
