When Waxie left the room, Rainer was a little confused, and all his previous doubts were resolved.

But this also filled his heart with worries. He didn't fully believe Waxie's words, but he was also wary of Count Redmara, and he couldn't help but worry about the fate of the royal family in the future.

Rainer knew that the current state of the empire was already in danger, ranging from a year and a half for as long as a year or two, and conflicts between the royal family and the lords of various places would inevitably erupt.

But for a while, he doesn’t need to worry about it for the time being. Even if the royal family is dangerous, it is estimated that it will be difficult to completely distinguish the winner and loser without a year or two. What's more, the Northern Territory, a rare and poor place in the world, is estimated to be in addition to steel. There is nothing to attract them, so for the time being, there is no need to worry about lords everywhere.

His main concern was whether Earl Twarin would accept the price he offered and successfully let himself empty the White Wolf as he thought.

If it is only the strength of Earl Twarin, Rainer is not particularly afraid, after all, the coalition formed by Earl Zhebo is much stronger than him, and the combination of the two sides will make Rainer feel terrified.

If he can pinch Count Jebo first, then it is definitely a golden opportunity for Rainer, and then the entire Northern Territory and the territory of Count Twarin will also become his own.

Even Mekatha can become his wife very smoothly. The big deal is to exile Earl Zeppel. Before Lena didn’t think he could defeat Lord Zeppel within a certain period of time, so he almost gave up Mekatha. , But now, his hopes are rekindled again.

After the conflict, the old man was exiled. Although it was rare in the past ten years, there were definitely many lords who did this before the reunification of the empire.

Of course, everything is premised that Earl Twarin agrees to his plan, and if he doesn't agree, everything will be useless.

On the other side, in a dense forest at the junction of the northern border and the inland of the empire, an old man wearing a gorgeous robe, with the dual identity of a monk and courtier, was panting and facing Horn on the back of another war horse. Sir said: "We should take a break! The road here is too difficult to walk! My body can't bear it anymore!"

The old man seems to be very old. He used to be the head of a large monastery, and later entered the emperor’s court as a courtier. He once assisted the emperor in carrying out religious reforms and has a relatively high status in the court.

His purpose this time is to come to Fort Merland to canonize Rainer, and the royal family will announce to the entire empire that Baron Rainer has become a noble baron from a small baron. count.

"I'm afraid it won't work, Brother Ryder. We have been delayed for too long. If I delay it any more, there will be some accidents. You can bear with me for a few days, and we will have seven days to reach Fort Morand.

The old man was also helpless when he heard this. He already hated the Count Zhebo who blocked the northern border. If it weren't for him, he was sitting on the carriage leisurely, where would he have to endure the bumps of riding?

Each of them was wearing heavy cotton-padded clothes, and the northern border in November had become extremely cold, even reaching sub-zero temperatures at night.

In this way, a team of nearly two hundred people marched through the dense forests in the deep mountains. The ruggedness of the ice-covered mountain road exceeded their imagination. After walking for a full eight days, it reached the vicinity of Goerborg. .

Only three months after Sir Horn left, the changes here are not small. The wheat and other crops have been harvested, and everyone has enough food at home, and even some can be sold.

The militia reserve composed of serfs is already being prepared, but the training time per day is not long, but only one hour, because they have other things to do besides training.

Reiner knows the important role of farmland naturally. Without agriculture, there is no stability, without a job, no wealth. He has seen this sentence in countless novels, and he believes that too.

Only when the agricultural output is sufficient, everyone can eat enough, and there is a large amount of food surplus, can this promote the development of commerce, and the development of commerce to a certain point, the handicraft industry and primary factories will operate. The root of everything is agriculture.

Therefore, even if there is still such a powerful foreign attack, Rainer still allows his residents to cultivate land instead of using this short period of time for training.

What if it is training? Indeed, the height of the people in the north is due to the bonus of the Redka nation, and unlike the Klads, there are not many days of lack of food and clothing, so the height and physical fitness are slightly better.

But the enemies they will face are also the same. How can it be possible to turn ordinary residents into brave soldiers in just a few months? Even the output of equipment is not enough. Until now, the soldiers under Rainer would not be able to carry a heavy chain armor!

The residents were busy in the fields and caught their eyes.

Brother Ryder looked at this scene and couldn't help but nodded in approval. He was indeed a descendant of the Morand family, and his territories were thriving, even compared to some remote territories of the royal family.

However, how could a group of them suddenly appear on Lena's territory without being noticed? When they first entered the territory of Lena, someone informed the local patrol team. In just a few hours, the news that a brigade of royal armed forces appeared on the territory was placed on Lena's desk.

"People from the royal family? Didn't they just leave? Why are they here again?" Lena looked at the document and sent a little dried diced pork into his mouth, with some doubts in his heart. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

"Isn't it? So much steel can't satisfy them? How hungry are they?" Rainer couldn't help but feel a little stunned as he thought of something.

That is my own reserves for more than half a year, a full 30 tons of steel. In Reiner’s previous life, the daily output of a small black workshop may be several times this, but in this era, such output is already not small. Up.

These irons are used throughout the entire northern border for a year, of course, this is also related to the small population of the northern border.

After Reiner had read the document, he ordered people to prepare a small banquet to receive Sir Horn.

They are no strangers anymore. There is no need to mobilize the crowd to hold a grand banquet. Although Rainer is not short of money for a while, it is always good to develop a good habit of diligence and thrift.

Four or five hours after Reiner ordered to go down, the team with the golden crown lion flag on the red background appeared under the walls of Fort Morand.

For a while, all the important figures in the castle followed Rainer to the gate to greet Sir Horn.
