Black Iron Crown

Chapter 168: After the war

Seeing Baron Azac who had almost fallen into madness, Lena's expression was slightly distorted.

Although scenes more cruel than this abound on the battlefield, the battle is over after all, and he will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable suddenly appearing such a scene in front of him.

However, his nerves have become bigger as he exercises, and the mad Baron Azak shouts loudly, his voice is like a desperate, desperate lone wolf.

"Defeat Earl Zhebo! Divide up everyone's territory!"

He can no longer care about any high-sounding excuses such as loyalty to the royal family or crusade against rebellion. He just wants to get a greater benefit and can make up for his lost benefits.

After being so disturbed by him, nothing can be done, the chaos continued for a long time, and finally broke up.

The two captured barons Rainer did not execute them at the first time. He kept these people and had other functions.

It was announced in public that, taking over Barbsburg, Baron Belemmu, and sharing the proceeds of that territory with other lords, this matter is temporarily over. After cleaning the battlefield, the lords easily returned to Babs. Fort controls the relatives of Baron Belemmu.

Rudely and savagely told them what Baron Belem had done, and then declared that Babsburg had been deprived, and arbitrarily drove the group out of the castle.

Only a group of lords remained like robbers who took care of themselves. They moved out of the castle and began to covet the food, wine and meat. The loss on the battlefield was so great that the depressed mood became better.

Reiner is still a little uncomfortable about this, and in less than a year he has not been able to completely bring his values ​​into the values ​​of this world lord.

But he didn't pretend to be a good person. He wouldn't do it if he blocked such things. On the contrary, he just felt a little uncomfortable and didn't think they were doing it right. His subjective consciousness could still accept this.

Although Sir Varas and others are not elated, they are in a good mood. Although they missed the opportunity to wipe out the enemy, no one would be unhappy to win such a glorious victory.

Sir Horn was sitting next to Rainer. In this war, the 30 heavy cavalry and 100 armed soldiers he brought from the imperial capital were only 19 cavalry, and only the armed soldiers remained. More than fifty people were dropped, and nearly half of the casualties were paid.

Even if he can't give much compensation, it's always good to show some closeness.

At the wine table, Sir Horn frequently toasts to Lena, Sir Walas, Sir Koto, and Sir Leyland. After all, he still wants Lena to come here.

A month has passed, and if you can't bring a lot of steel back, you will definitely be in panic.

The other lords gradually became happy while they were drinking. Although they suffered huge losses, the enemy's losses were also terrible, not to mention that they received a lot of spoils when cleaning the battlefield.

Although the military strength has been greatly weakened, there are quite a few things obtained, but it is a pity that the only place in the north where you can trade goods on a large scale is the city of Mecalon in the south, and where is the nest of Earl Jeppa , If they go, they will definitely be arrested.

The road to the interior of the empire was also completely blocked by Earl Zhebo. Although he suffered a very huge loss in this battle, his strength was still very large in comparison.

It is simply impossible to pass his blockade.

In addition, the other lords didn't know what Sir Horn's intention was, and thought he was appointed by the royal family to help the besieged royal branch.

Lena wished they didn't know this, so he didn't explain it to anyone.

But the day was not fulfilled, because Sir Horn was already wandering around the banquet hall with a glass of wine at this time.

He is not a brainless person. The stupid thing of putting all his eggs in one basket can be seen from his being able to be signed by the royal family to perform this vital task in the north.

Within a short while, news of the royal family's acquisition of a large amount of steel in the northern border spreads.

They are all poor people. The northern border is not rich, and the output of the land is not much. They cannot be like the inland lords who do business when the land of the territory is barren, or collect a road tax from passing merchants.

All of their output all year round depends on the grain in the farmland and the sheep raised. Farming cattle are even afraid to slaughter them. Generally speaking, a lord has only a dozen or so cows, all relying on them to cultivate the land. Killed.

Finally, there are some small mineral veins in the land of some fortunate lords, but they will be sold to the city of Mekalong but they will be squeezed by the death of Earl Zeppa. A ton of steel can only be exchanged for one gold coin.

Put inside the empire, ten gold coins may not be able to buy these steel, so when they heard the news, they were immediately ecstatic.

They have obtained a lot of spoils on the battlefield. Although some armors and weapons have been broken to be unusable, they can be sold to the royal family.

Some lords with iron in some territories are ecstatic ~lightnovelpub.net~ and those without iron ore are thumping chests. They are all lords of the north. How can this kind of good thing really have nothing to do with them? ?

Regardless of what those lords thought in their hearts, Sir Horn only wanted to complete his task, and he had no choice but to embarrass the lords who did not have steel.

Reiner’s face was blue, and it seemed that he underestimated the hero of the world. He directly disrupted his plan to repay the money by asking for an overwhelming price. Now the situation between the two sides has changed from a seller’s market to a buyer. The market has lost the initiative in price.

The banquet was hurriedly ended, the other lords returned to their territory to prepare as soon as possible, and Sir Horn followed Rainer to his Fort Morland.

When he led the army back to the range of Morand County, the soldiers became more excited.

Rainer gave the soldiers 20% of the spoils, and the knights also got 20%. Under the division, the ordinary soldiers also made a lot of money. How could they be unhappy?

Along the way, I saw that this equipment was slightly broken, but the spirit head was a brilliant army, and I knew that the war must have been won, otherwise the people who came here must be vicious enemies.

They took off the hats on their heads and watched the army guarding the homeland gradually walking forward.

This is Fort Kahn, the southernmost territory of Reiner. After being incorporated into Reiner’s command here, their lives are much better. Not only are they extremely vicious and the extortion officers were replaced, but also because of Reiner’s The large-scale purchase of arrows and guns has given them a lot of spare money.

As their lives got better and better, they became more and more satisfied with Rainer's rule.
