Black Iron Crown

Chapter 272: Northland with shrinking business

Soon, the soldiers rushed into the castle following Leyland's orders.

There was almost no resistance along the way. Seeing the wolf-like army rushing up with dazzling swords, the servants immediately threw away the things in their hands and hid them everywhere, like mice crossing the street.

The maids squatted down somewhere, shivering, like an ostrich piercing their heads into the sand in danger.

Some soldiers and knights saw the enemy rushing in and wanted to draw out their swords to resist, but as for the opponents of the military, they were chopped into flesh in twos or twos, twitching weakly under their boots.

It's messed up, it's all messed up.

There was a complete chaos in the entire Twarinburg, with countless soldiers shouting to resist, and the servants hurriedly left this dangerous place after training around looking for valuables and wanting to take things.

The maids were as if they were mad, and when they saw the soldiers, they only uttered a weakened shrill scream, which caused some impatient sergeants to go up with a sword.

Blood, panic, and chaos became the main tone in Twarinburg at this time. The sergeants were killed at the sight of people along the way, and the blood dripped all over the ground. It was not until an hour later that it was re-seasoned in the Lord's Hall.

The three sons of Earl Twarin were also **** by the five-flowers.

Sir Leiland looked at the messy castle and touched the beard on his chin and said: "We will continue to attack, the castle of the vassal of the Earl of Twarin is not in our control yet, and I will complete it in three days. Take it down and dedicate it to Lord Earl!"

The morning of April 27th in the twenty-third year of the Empire.

Baron Leyland led the army back to the city of Micalon.

Although it seems that the number of people has not left much time, but their arrogant and arrogant appearance makes people know at a glance that this is an army that has returned victorious.

Although it didn't have much to do with him, the citizens still spontaneously celebrated.

They feel the glory of living under the powerful earl.

Since the vassals were not dependent on Twarinburg, there was no need to distribute it to them, so this area was completely owned by Reiner.

It is worth mentioning that, in the past few days, Rainer has canonized three more barons scatteredly.

In addition, there are twelve family members who are relatively distant, but all belong to the patrilineal family of the Merland family. They entered the court of Rainer and began to serve as servants. Rainer is going to train them as his own knights.

Not only them, but the knights of Morandshire have also been rewarded by Rainer. The benefice has reached two villages or more, and the Scarlet Gryphon Knights have also received their own benefice.

Standing on an open-air rooftop at the highest point of the main fort, Rainer grasped the railing on the rooftop and looked down.

The cold wind in the winter became more and more frantic on the heights, and it was violently blowing and making noises like the whimper of the devil in the dark night.

His fragile blond hair was blown up and down violently, and his cheeks and nose were a little red from the cold. Although the winter was coming to an end, he was also the coldest soldier in the whole winter.

In winter, this big icy monster was unwilling to be driven away by summer, and tried hard to spread his teeth and claws to let out the last bit of chill in his body.

Although it was cold, Rainer didn't care.

On the contrary, standing at the top of the 18-meter-high castle, he had an unexplainable ambition.

Looking at the gradually recovering city in front of him, residents one by one shuttled back and forth on the street, looking up, outside the city is a large fertile but snow-covered farmland, and farther away is a silver-clad plain. Enclosed in a dense forest like a fairy tale.

This enchanting and majestic land has bred countless outstanding talents, and Rainer looked down on the land, and the feeling of wanting to control such a land suddenly came to his heart.

"The feeling of conquering..." Reiner stretched out his right hand and looked at it carefully, then squeezed tightly, and whispered: "Very good..."

Back in his study, Lena felt that his ambitions had not faded, and he covered his cheeks that were red from the degrading cold, put his hands on the brazier and bake a little, and then sat back on the chair.

He picked up a file and began to look it up. This file was not a spy secret report sent by Logan, but was submitted by Sir Cod and the relatives of the Merland family who served as Mayor of Mecalon in some cities and territories. condition.

Sir Cod had been appointed by Rainer as the magistrate two days ago, and as an earl he was qualified to open his own court.

Things in Mecalon City are completely different from other places. Most of the matters submitted by Sir Cod in other areas are some security issues or minor disputes. Sir Cod will basically deal with these matters according to Rainer’s habits. Judgment and review, this is his right as a magistrate.

However, the situation in Mekalong City is much more complicated. According to the dossier, due to the previous war, commerce in the city has shrunk, and all the merchants who originally came here to do business have fled here.

In addition, the local handicraft industry is not very developed, and it relies heavily on transportation and sales. Service industries such as pubs have also declined due to the decline of the floating population, so the living income of the residents in the castle has dropped sharply.

In fact, Lai An Ye felt that because the water pumped up this month was only a trivial amount of 30, judging from the extravagant life of Earl Zhebo in the past, 30 gold coins a month were obviously not enough.

Reiner was a little bit distressed about this, but he was not in a hurry. It was normal for the war to cause commercial awkwardness. As long as a period of time passed, those merchants who needed northern goods would return here.

"How much of our sugar is in stock now?"

Rainer asked Sir Cod who was called into the study.

As the magistrate, he is almost about to become Reiner's number one butler ~lightnovelpub.net~ These resources are always to be asked by him.

"There are already six hundred and forty kilograms, Lord Earl!" Sir Cod came without thinking about it.

"Hmm..." Rainer nodded, and then said: "Very good...Do we already have such stock now..."

Lena squinted his eyes and tapped the table lightly, and his body was gradually buried in the wide chair. The three-layer bear skin made the chair extremely soft and comfortable. He loved this chair to death.

"Get ready! I plan to prepare a caravan..." Lena thought in his heart, and said slowly: "I want to sell all these candies to the interior of the empire. I believe those inland lords will be crazy about it. of!"

He frowned and paused, then said: "Besides...I might sell the leather too...Let's build a reputation first and do a high-level business!"

"Bring the honey and the pine branches, too. Take the long sword that was captured on the battlefield before...that's the specialty of our northern border!"

Reiner thought about the special products of the north one by one, and added the products one by one.
