Black Iron Crown

Chapter 137: Army pressure

   Looking at the Babsburg that had already emerged in front of him, Rainer wiped the bead of sweat that appeared on his head. There were already quite a few troops stationed outside the castle.

The flags were fluttering slowly with the summer breeze. These are the Northland lords who participated in the Anti-Earl of Zeppel League. They rushed to Babsburg immediately after receiving the news. A community that is both prosperous and all ruined. They don't want to be defeated by Earl Zhebo one by one, so they appear to be very united.

  Because Rainer's territory is almost in the far north, he came relatively late. There were already quite a lot of troops outside the city wall.

"Dear Baron Reiner, you are finally here, and everyone in Babsburg is looking forward to your visit!" A dozen lords surrounded by Baron Berenmu came to Reiner's side and said. .

   "You are welcome, my friend! Count Zhebo dares to rebel against the royal family will pay the price, we must defeat him!"

   "That's right!" Reiner said, "I want to introduce you to someone!"

As he said, he pointed to Sir Horn behind him and said: "This is Sir Horn, the reinforcements sent to us by the royal family, but unfortunately the royal family's current experience has been completely implicated, and Earl Zeppel blocked it again. The roads in the south will not allow the army to enter in large numbers. Otherwise, Earl Jebo will not be able to make waves!"

   "The royal family hasn't forgotten us yet, hasn't it, Sir Horn?" Rainer asked, turning his head to Sir Horn.

   He had to give these lords some confidence as much as possible, so that they could fight against Earl Zhebo more resolutely, so he said this.

   He doesn't know what the royal family's attitude is, or what the royal family's view of the North is, but at least he must win the battle before him.

"Yes, the royal family will not forget the adults who are still loyal to the royal family under the high pressure of Count Jeppel, the royal family will soon put down this rebellion and free up energy to deal with Count Jeppel!" Sir Horne Speaking vowedly, he also knew that this war was very important, and these lords had to be given some confidence.

   After some greetings, Rainer followed the lords into Babsburg, and he was so crowded along the way that he finally entered a room. This is where the lords gathered together.

   "I'm really sorry, Baron Reiner, my citizens hid in my castle because they were worried about Count Jeppe's invasion. It is really my fault to treat you poorly!" Baron Belem said apologetically.

   "Well... it doesn't matter, after all, these leaders are your important foundation, and it is indeed very important to protect them..." Rainer shook his head and said.

   "So, is there any definitive information now to know where Earl Zeppel has been?" Rainer asked.

   He has been marching for the past few days, not to mention that Logan's intelligence has been delayed for several days, so he has no idea about the current location of Earl Zhebo.

"Uh...I don't know yet, but I think they should not be far away from us. It has been more than ten days since they left Mecaron. Even if the number of people slows down, they should be there. !" said Baron Belemmu.

"Oh, okay, let's wait here for now, but Baron Belem, we did not carry too much food this time when we sent troops. You know, my expanded army will inevitably consume a lot of food. So I hope you can provide me with a batch of food according to the original agreement!" Rainer looked at Baron Belemmu and said distressedly.

Of course, he doesn’t feel ashamed. It’s just a fool to have the advantage and not take advantage. The face is nothing in the face of the good. What's more, although they rely on these people to fight against Earl Zhebo, they are not relying on themselves. Come to resist Earl Zhebo?

   "Uh..." Baron Belem hesitated, he didn't expect Rainer to ask for supplies so directly when he came here.

"Indeed, Baron Reiner, I should provide you with food, but you can see my current situation. I really can't bear too much burden. I can only provide you with food for five days at most!" With these words, Baron Belemmu seemed very painful. The food for more than a thousand people for five days is definitely not a small amount. Even Reiner is very difficult to take out, let alone Baron Belemmu. Obviously, this time he took out all the Lao Di.

   Looking at the other person’s painful expression, Rainer could only say helplessly: "Well, although you violated our original agreement, it is not easy for you, so I have to accept it for the sake of the Father!"

   After the discussion, Rainer was not in the mood to stay with the other party in this crowded, hot, and foul-smelling castle anymore.

   After talking to a group of people, he left the castle, and most of the other lords did the same.

   At this time, the army outside the city wall has already set up the camp. They all have experience in this area. The camp is built horizontally and vertically. There is a shuttle path between each tent, in case of any unexpected events.

In addition, a simple fence was erected on the outermost part of the camp. These were all attached to the junior infantry exercise points that Reiner exchanged from the system at the beginning~lightnovelpub.net~ At this time, the camp is very lively. , Although there are no merchants in the Northland, it is still inevitable that some savvy people will come to the periphery of the camp with some gadgets to sell them.

More than 3,000 soldiers have been stationed on the periphery of the city wall, of which Lena’s army accounted for one-third, so it seems that Lena’s camp is also the most arrogant, even the red-bottomed golden crowned Iris flying above the camp. Under the blowing of the summer breeze, the flag of heraldry seemed to be much more arrogant than the flags of other lords.

   The soldiers and small merchants of the surrounding lords dared not approach them at all. Because of military discipline, each of them looked like a stranger, and even the camps near them would be scolded by the guards.

   Sitting in his tent, Rainer is both looking forward to and nervous about the upcoming war. What he expects is that if this war is won, then he will definitely fly into the sky.

  What's nervous is the military strength of Count Zhebo. There are too many, too much. He has pinned his entire net worth and life and his future on this war. How could he not be nervous?

   But tension is of no avail. Time can't stop because of someone, and Earl Zhebo can't give up attacking because of his tension.

   Time flies quickly, three days passed in an instant, and just at this moment, the veteran horse archers who had been dispatched by Reiner to patrol twenty kilometers away suddenly broke into his tent.

"Master Nayan! We found a very large army 18 kilometers away from here. The number is estimated to be about 5,000 to 6,000. They are wearing black sword-bearing brown bears with a yellow background. The flag is the army of Count Jebo! They are here!"
