Black Iron Crown

Chapter 136: arrival

   But now, after meeting Rainer, he feels that the little lords in the remote areas may not be all idiots, and there may be savvy and capable people who will lead the family to prosperity.

   There was a silence for a while before Sir Horn said, "It's not impossible for us to stay and help you, but can you guarantee that the war will not last more than a month?"

The imperial capital is already very scarce of steel. Although it hasn’t reached the point where even a bit of steel can’t be seen, the price is gradually rising. The only little reserves are all piled up in the warehouses of each lord, waiting for the blacksmith. Forge it into city weapon armor.

After all, no one is sure when it will turn from the current confrontation into a large-scale war. If the war starts, the consumption of weapons and armor will be very fast, and it will be too late to forge until then, so now the lord We have already begun to store the built equipment.

"Ha, I'm not sure, but do you have any other choice? If I were wiped out by Earl Jeppa, the royal family would obviously no longer be able to get the supply of steel. I think it's wise that you should choose to shed it. Help me! Are you right?" Rainer asked.

   Sir Horn hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Well, I am willing to bring someone to stay to help you, but you must promise to provide steel to the royal family as long as you are not defeated by Earl Jeppel for one day!"

   "Of course!" Lena raised his eyebrows and said, "After all, I am also a descendant of the Moreland family! Of course I will help my people!"

   Sir Horn frowned and said, "Well then, we will follow you to the battlefield now!"

   "Don't worry!" Reiner said with a smile: "It won't be very far. Our goal is in Babsburg, more than sixty kilometers away. Count Jeppa and us have agreed on where to fight a decisive battle!"

In fact, Earl Zeppa not only gave Leiner a war note, every lord who did not take refuge in Earl Zeppel was threatened by his letter, which also shows that Leiner is his goal, as long as they stand by and watch themselves. I wouldn't do anything against them.

   But those lords are not fools. How could they believe what Earl Zeppa said? They all knew that the opponent didn't want to lose too much force, and hoped to destroy Rainer first before destroying the others one by one.

In this way, Sir Horn led the army to join Rainer’s marching queue. The regular army of nearly a thousand people, which is almost comparable to the number that Count Jeppel and his vassals can achieve together. Of course, Rainer's militia was also included.

   In this way, the team marched slowly toward the south against the big sun in the sky. After camping and resting for a night, they began to march again the next day.

   "My Lord Baron, we are almost at Barbsburg!" Sir Cod said as he walked to Rainer's side with a map in his hand.

  Rainer nodded and looked at the surrounding environment. It seems that the coming war has had a huge impact on this place. Although the crops in the farmland are still lush and lush, there is not a single resident.

   He estimated that either he had escaped or he had entered Babsburg to avoid the coming enemy.

Reiner didn’t worry about whether these people would occupy their place of residence after entering the castle. Barbsburg itself was not a big castle. The capacity for more than two thousand residents was already the limit. In this way, most of the residents would have They are crowded together and there is almost no place to stay.

   After all, this is just a defensive castle built by a small lord. Basically, the army that can accommodate is only one or two hundred people, but now more than two thousand people have poured into it. This shows how crowded it has become.

   "My Lord Baron! A huge army is coming towards our castle!" A guard pushed hardly away from the crowd in front of him and walked into Baron Belemmu's room to report the situation outside.

   Baron Belem frowned and asked, "What is their flag? Can they be identified?"

"No, Lord Baron, they are too far apart. I can't see the heraldic pattern on the flag at all. If there are not too many of them, I can't find them at such a distance!" The soldier said apologetically.

   Baron Belem frowned, and then said: "Well, pay close attention to the other party's direction, once you see the other party's coat of arms, report it to me immediately!"

   Baron Belem is really unwilling to walk out of his room. The castle is full of residents of his own territory, and he can hardly find a place to stay.

   The smell of this group of residents really made him a little nauseous. It was originally summer, and there were so many people crowded together. The sweat was definitely not normal, and the smell was imaginable.

   "Yes, Lord Baron, I will do it now!" The guard opened the door of the room and walked out with difficulty.

   "Oh! Damn it!" Baron Belemmu immediately slapped his nose, hoping to drive away the unpleasant smell.

   Just now when the guard opened the door, there was already a smell coming in, and he was also very unfortunate to smell it.

At this time, Rainer continued to move forward with the army~lightnovelpub.net~Babsburg is already in front, the more he gets here, the more nervous his heart is, and he is really about the upcoming battle. It's not in my heart.

   Even if he has a systematic and powerful army, he is still not sure whether he can confront Count Zhebo, who is several times more numerous than his own.

   "Hurry up, soldiers! We can rest soon!" Rainer continued to urge the soldiers under his command.

  At this time, the guards on the watchtower of the city wall finally saw clearly what the banner of this huge team was, and immediately rushed down the watchtower, and ran to the room of Baron Belem in the main fort.

Panting and pushing open the door of the room, the guard said, "My Lord Baron, I see the flag of that team. Their flag is red, with a golden lion with a crown on it, and iris on its tail. pattern!"

   "The number of them is too much! But because they are in a neat array, I probably counted them clearly. They should be up and down a thousand people, and they seem to be walking towards our castle!"

   "More than a thousand people?" Baron Belem was shocked. Obviously, this kind of strength is not something that an ordinary baron can possess. He is almost about to grasp the strength that Earl Zhebo possesses without being counted as a lord who relies on him.

   Of course he knows the coat of arms of the Iris with the golden crown on the red background. This is the coat of arms of Morandburg, which means that Baron Rainer is here.

   "Hurry up! Call the staff out to greet him immediately!" Baron Belemmu immediately got up from his chair.

During this period of time, his heart has always been very worried. Although Earl Zhebo has not appeared near his territory, the location of the decisive battle has been set here. He is afraid that the other party will appear suddenly to himself. The castle launched an attack.
