Black Iron Crown

Chapter 270: Twain

"Mecalon City is a second-tier city, which conforms to the upgrade standards and can be upgraded"

The electronic sound of the system rang in Lenner’s ears for a long time. This was a bit beyond his expectation. He thought you thought that a large and prosperous city like Mecalon City should be at least a third-tier city, but he did not expect it to be here in the system. This can only be regarded as a secondary city.

But Rainer only understood the reason after a little thought.

Although the city of Mecalon has a large population, the defense measures in Shanghai are really not very good.

You know, even for a first-class castle like Morandburg, there is a simple urn at the gate of the city. Except for the main castle where the lord is located, the defense of this city is extremely poor. No wonder it was rated as second. class.

"Lord Lord, please choose the direction of upgrade"

"Direction 1: Military Castle"

"Direction Two: Commercial City"

Reiner chose the second option without thinking about it. After all, this is a very important commercial gathering place. The entire northern border is just such a place. Not only is the location excellent, it is stuck on the road connecting the north and the south, but there is also a large population, so don’t worry. The problem of labor.

Rainer naturally would not turn it into a military castle with only military function.

After Rainer made the choice, the same scene as the last upgrade reappeared. Time suddenly stopped, and Rainer could clearly feel that time had condensed into a solid state.

There was a burst of light from the entire Mecalon City, which looked so dazzling but soft, without any discomfort to Rainer.

After a while, the light gradually disappeared and time returned to normal.

And when everything was back to common sense, Rainer then cut off to the outside to see what was different.

This look shocked him. The changes in this city are really great.

The most intuitive feeling is that Reiner’s position is much higher than before. Previously, Reiner estimated that the height of the city’s main fort was about 12 meters, but it has now increased to at least 18 meters. Ability is greatly increased.

From a distance, the city wall was much taller than before. A rough estimate is that it is nearly eight meters high, which is comparable to the higher-level military castle Morandburg.

In addition, the space in the city has also become a lot more spacious. Due to the restrictions of the city walls, the houses and other buildings in the city inevitably seemed a little narrow when piled up.

But now, the walls of the city have expanded a lot. Reiner estimates that the circumference will reach at least 15 kilometers, and it will be easy to accommodate forty to fifty thousand people.

As for other architectural changes, there are not many changes, except that a large copper bell was added in front of the main city fort to tell the time.

Rainer nodded, it is worthy of upgrading to the direction of commercial cities, the main direction of upgrading is still the degree of population security.

For example, the former Fort Morand, even if it is upgraded once, the extent of expansion is limited, but the height of the city wall and defensive measures have been greatly improved.

Time flies quickly, and in a flash, we arrived on May 1, 23rd of the Empire. It has been nearly a month since Reiner captured Mecalon City. The residents of the city have also changed from panic at the beginning. Now it is safe and orderly.

Groups of patrols kept patrolling from the streets of the city to prevent security incidents. In the five counties of Morland, the 120 militiamen are still training.

Reiner suffered a lot in the previous war, losing a full one-third of his armed soldiers, more than fifty Sergeant Merland, three knights, five reds, and fifteen Scarlet Gryphon retinues. .

All the units exchanged in the system can be exchanged with merit points, so Rainer has refilled it after spending some merits.

But these ordinary soldiers can't do this, and it is quite difficult to replenish them after a batch of deaths.

The militiamen who had been training before did not have the first batch of such good luck. They just participated in a war without any sense of existence. They did not have rich combat experience. According to Leiner's estimation, it would take at least half a year before they could initially form combat effectiveness.

Shaking his head, the situation in his current territory is not optimistic. Due to the past two years of warfare, the lives of the residents under his command have become extremely difficult, coupled with inferior technology, so there is very little output on the cultivated land.

So what Leiner urgently needs now is a large number of sophisticated farming tools and the reclaiming of a large number of arable land, all things such as commercial development must be ranked behind.

But Rainer didn't intend to remain silent like this now, because there is still a large piece of land waiting to be picked by himself!

The Earl of Twarin was killed by himself in the previous war. According to the news reported to him by Logan, disputes have begun in the castle of Twarin.

Since more than a month has passed, the news of the death of Count Tvarin also spread to Twarrinburg, and the sons of Count Tvarín are wrangling about the ownership of the territory all day long.

They wooed some squires and small landlords one after another, and beat them for this territory. Although they still maintained a certain degree of restraint, there would always be small-scale fights.

Rainer squinted his eyes and said in his heart: "In other words, now Twarimburg has been chaotic to the extreme, and there won't be many defenders..."

"God helps me too!" Rainer slapped the table and stood up, shouting to the guard outside the door: "Go call Sir Waxie, Baron Cod, Baron Varas, and Baron Leyland to me. come over!"

Although these three have been canonized as barons by Rainer, in order to enable them to better serve themselves, Rainer kept them in the castle.

They were willing to do this themselves, so after they got the territory, they just went to the territory to look at it and accepted the allegiance ~lightnovelpub.net~ and returned to Mekalong City to continue to serve Rainer.

Entering Rainer's study, the four of them showed their searching gazes at the same time.

Reiner put the file Logan had handed over to him on the desktop, nodded to indicate that they could come and view it.

Baron Cod picked up the file and passed it to the next person after reading it. After all four of them had read it, Reiner knocked on the table and said, "Now Twarimburg is a dish of loose sand! We only need a little bit of it. With a little force, you can completely turn something into my territory!"

Lena paused slightly, and then said: "This time I will not go. Baron Leyland will take the sergeants and soldiers, and the archers will also take them, and my knights will be called up, and you will be in charge of the army. The commander, Baron Huaraz, you lead your man in charge of the defense of Mecalon City!"

"Sir Waxie, didn't you also find a group of people to join your team during this time? Just follow Baron Leyland!"

After speaking, Rainer turned his head to look at Baron Cod and said: "My uncle, you are responsible for the logistical support of this army. There is no need to mobilize your army, nor the army of vassals! "
