Black Iron Crown

Chapter 233: Retreat

"Here?" Rainer frowned and stood up from the chair, pointed at Lumbarley and Wend who had just been reprimanded, and stared at them, "Wait a while and then clean up the two of you!"

After speaking, he left the desk and walked to the horse archer and asked, "How many enemies are there? Where are they already?"

"The number of enemies...I don't know yet. They were discovered by us ten kilometers north of the territory. After we found them, Lord Tiryhan asked me to come back and report to you. Before we had time to count the number of enemies..."

The horse archer was a little uneasy because he didn't answer Lena’s question. Lena patted him on the shoulder, forced a smile and comforted him: “It’s okay, it’s not to blame you, the number of enemies It will be in front of me sooner or later!"

After dismissing the horse archer, Rumbarley, who was reprimanded for not saying a word, leaned forward again, and asked weakly: "Big brother, how should we deal with this group of clads?"

Wend also looked at Lena with the same eyes, he had the same problem as Lombard.

"Didn’t I say that the Cladders are coming more than a month ago? Why are you panicking?" Lena raised his eyes and cast a glance at the two of them, then sat down on the chair again, leaning on the back of the chair as much as possible. Relaxed and made a look that didn't care about the Cladders.

"After the battle is over, you two will have thirty lashes each!" Rainer said to the two of them with his eyes closed, completely ignoring their bitter expressions.

"Okay, you two can get out, call Logan and Uncle Cod over!" Lena sent the two away, and Rumbarre and Wend left Lenner's study with their tails between them.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door, and Logan and Sir Cod arrived at Rainer's study at the same time.

The two entered the room, saluted Rainer who was sitting in the chair, and then said, "My Lord, what's the matter?"

Sir Cod looked at his nephew. Since his return, his burden has become a lot lighter. He only needs to follow Rainer's orders and does not need to worry too much.

"The Klads are coming... they are already here! They are ten kilometers away from our northern border, and Tillihan has found the enemy..."

Reiner knocked on the table with his fingers, then sat up straight and got up from the back of the chair, looking at the two ministers who depended on him most, and said: "So I want you to increase the intensity of coercion and temptation to those lords, I Ask them to show allegiance to me as soon as possible, and at the same time cause trouble to Earl Zhebo, so that he has no energy to attack us during my battle!"

With that, Rainer stared into the eyes of the two carefully and asked: "Is my meaning clear enough?"

"Yes, my lord, let's do it now!" Sir Cod bowed down and saluted Leiner. He always distinguished between official and private matters very thoroughly. Uncle thinks of himself.

"Very good! After this order is executed, all the knights in the territory will be dispatched to gather them, and the soldiers will gather as soon as possible, and gather the vassals who are closer to our territory and can be reached within ten hours. The vassals who are too far away let them warn Count Zhebo's sneak attack!"

Orders were communicated and executed in this way. The five baronies of Morland County completely exploded his warfare capabilities at this moment, and the knights began to gather their armed retinues to Fort Morland. Ten wealthy self-cultivators with armed clothes or leather armors also raised spears, and gathered in twos and threes from various villages to Morandburg.

The soldiers finished half of their training and returned to the barracks for a period of rest, followed by inspections and temporary grinding of weapons, as well as pre-war inspections of armor.

The Scarlet Griffin Riders and their followers, Waxie Squad, and the Takeda Akobe, who had recently emerged from the system, were feeding their horses and communicating with their mounts before starting the battle. This is almost all cavalry. Things that don't need to be done.

Another horse archer rushed in the ice and snow, the cold wind screamed, almost completely submerged the sound of horseshoes, but the blood-red Merland family iris crown lion emblem he carried was very conspicuous, the soldiers guarding the city wall We immediately confirmed his identity after finding out, and after asking the commander for instructions, we let him in.

"Master Nayan, Master Tillihan asked me to tell you that the number of Cladders ranges from 7,000 to 9,000. Due to the large number, we can’t fully confirm. Now Master Tillihan is leading the brothers to attack the enemy. Stop the harassment!" The horse archer rushed into Rainer's room and immediately reported everything to Rainer.

Looking at the other party's flushed cheeks that had been moved by the cold wind, Rainer stood up and said with some touch: "Thanks for your hard work! Hurry up and warm yourself up, and then let Tirighan take the brothers back, don't be too risky!"

"Yes! Lord Yan!" The horse archer yelled flatteredly, and then hurriedly left the room.

The archer was moved and left Rainer's room, sitting in the corridor, his heart was warm, that Master Yan is really good! When did those Nayans in the khanate treat themselves this way? Everyone treats himself as a cow and a horse, arbitrarily driven, and does not regard himself as a thing at all.

And Rainer Nayan really regarded himself as a human being, and the horse archer, who had never felt such care before, secretly made up his mind in his heart, and must drain the last drop of blood in his body for the Lord Yan.

After warming their bodies, the two horse archers stepped on their horses and ran out of the castle again. Tillihan was still fighting in the north~lightnovelpub.net~ They had to take the order of Lord Na Yan and bring Tillihan. The adults brought it back.

Rainer had never thought that he was just an ordinary Hou Han Wen Nuan to bring such unexpected gains. He is now actively mobilizing the army and the mobilization of food.

He intends to retreat to part of the territory, that is, the 50 square kilometers of arable land and pastures he obtained from the system. He intends to give up all of it for the time being. Anyway, he will have to turn the soil in the spring. Now there is no need to defend it. It is cost-effective to retreat temporarily to buy time.

However, Reiner, the hinterland of Molandburg, could not give up so arbitrarily. Although the cultivated land will be turned over in the next year, the village and population attached to it cannot be given up, so he still has to keep the Clades from living in the village. Outside the place where the ground is located.

Time flies quickly, Rainer is overseeing the mobilization of food and grass, and at the same time goes to the barracks to check the maintenance and inspection of the soldiers' equipment, and at the same time receive the knights leading the retinue at the gate of the castle.

After this series, he was busy going round and round. Finally, all the knights reached Fort Morland within five hours, but he had not yet reached the opportunity to breathe, because vassals had already come to Morland with troops. The fort is gone, and he has to continue to receive them.
