Black Iron Crown

Chapter 131: Compromise with each other

The warm summer wind blew them so that they did not feel any warmth. Instead, they felt cold all over. The lord with such a terrifying army appeared among them, but they did not even notice it. How terrible this is.

  Winter crossbowmen and armed soldiers and archers behind are not very impressive, but the sheer number and the discipline that far exceeds them in terms of strictness are also amazed by them.

   Until the team was far away, the lords still looked shocked or thoughtful, and no one came out of it.

   At this time, Reiner broke the solidified atmosphere with a smile: "Everyone, how about my army? I believe that with such an army, we should not have no chance of winning against Earl Zeppa, right?"

He didn’t speak loudly, but it was deafening in the ears of all the nobles. Indeed, with such strength, there was indeed some hope of contending with Earl Zhebo, but it also brought them extreme panic. Once Earl Zhebo was drawn by the royal family or he took refuge in Earl Zhebo, that would be a disaster for these nobles.

   Plus, if, just if, if they really defeat Earl Zhebo, then what will they face afterwards? It is very likely that these mighty troops are like wolves and tigers.

   Seeing the speechless nobles, Rainer knew their fear in his heart, but there was no way. At this time, he could only show enough strength to gain a dominant position after the union.

  Rainer continued very bluntly: "Since you have all seen that my army is so powerful, do you agree with me as a dominant player in our alliance?"

Listening to Rainer’s undisguised words, the nobles looked at each other, and they all saw a touch of dissatisfaction in each other’s eyes, but these dissatisfaction was quickly hidden by them, and they said one after another: "Of course, you have Such a strong strength is enough to be our leader!"

At this time, a lord gave other opinions: "Baron Reiner, you are single, our leader, and I have no objection, but your territory is at the northernmost part of the North, and you won’t directly face Lord Zeppel’s. Offensive, and we are different. Some of us are bordered by Count Jebo and his minions. We will face their army directly..."

   When he said that, he stopped slowly, and just looked at Lena faintly in front of him.

   Listening to the other party's words, Rainer narrowed his eyes and said, "So, what do you think I should do?"

   Ignoring Reiner’s expression, the lord said: “Of course you led the army to the southernmost territory among us and stationed. Once Earl Zhebo goes north, we can immediately respond!”

  Leiner ignored him, but turned his gaze to other people and asked, "What are your opinions?"

   They all agreed with this point of view. After all, they are different from Rainer, who is located in the far north. It is definitely them, not Rainer, who is attacked by Earl Jebo first.

   They were also worried that Rainer would let them consume Earl Zerbo's strength in the front, and then he would pick up the bargain in the back. It has to be said that these lords still have some wisdom of their own.

Taking a deep breath and indulging in a deep breath, Leiner said: "In fact, I have not considered your concerns and opinions, but to be honest, so many troops go out and consume a lot of food every day. In this way, the consumption of food will be accelerated very quickly, even I cannot support such a long time of consumption!"

   "Once Count Zhebo found out what we did, then he delayed the first half of the year, wouldn't we fail because of food?" Rainer looked at the lord with sincere eyes and said.

"This..." The lords hesitated when they heard Rainer's words. This is indeed the case. Rainer's implication is simple, that is, if he is asked to station in the Southern Territory, then others will have to bear part of these troops. The food needed. "

   This is a team of more than 800 people. The amount of food consumed every day is definitely a terrifying number. Even if there are a dozen lords to share, if it lasts for a month or two, no one can afford it.

   Following Leiner's words, the whole scene fell silent. They hoped that Leiner could lead the army to be stationed in the south, but at the same time they didn't want to take out the grain for military expenses.

The lords looked at each other, all wanting to find a way to get the best of both worlds.

   Looking at them, Lena couldn't help but pull a sneer from the corner of his mouth. After so many requests, didn't he have to obediently resist Earl Zhebo in the end?

After a while, Rainer interrupted the chattering discussion of the lords, and said: "Why don't you do this! I stand ready on my own territory at any time, and you are on guard on your own territory, as soon as Earl Zerpo has a sad move. Send messages to others, and we will immediately form reinforcements to support the besieged!"

"Even from my northernmost territory to the southernmost territory among you, it is only five or six days away~lightnovelpub.net~ You only need to persist in five or six days, and we can form the coalition smoothly. Arrived!" Rainer said solemnly, looking at everyone.

   "What do you think?"

The lords did not immediately answer Rainer’s words, but thought carefully, and then discussed for a while with the lords they knew well, and then reached an agreement: "Well, do what you said, respectable Rainer Baron, we are now an all-prosperous community. I hope you can support the attacked lord as quickly as possible!"

   got the approval of the lords, Rainer said with a smile: "That's great, please rest assured, I will definitely!"

   In this way, these royalist lords of the north signed an agreement to jointly fight against the largest lord of the north, Earl Zhebo.

   A banquet was held again in the castle hall. This time it was finally the end of the guests and the host. The most important thing about agreements or politics is to compromise with each other.

   Two days after the end of the banquet, the lords took their own people and left the northern border. After Rainer's preliminary estimation, these united lords of the northern border could draw nearly a thousand regular troops.

  For this kind of protracted war, no one would choose to mobilize a large number of serf conscripts, consume food, and have little combat effectiveness.

   Only a weapon fight between the two little lords or a war triggered by some reason would mobilize the serf signs to fight.

  For such a large-scale war, the use of serf combat is a loss, so Reiner only counted the number of regular troops and did not count all the serfs.

  Seriously, even so, facing the army of thousands of regular army of Earl Zhebo, Rainer's heart is still a little bit unsure.
