"Yeah..." Rainer nodded in understanding.

Without saying much, he followed Baron Azac into the castle that Rainer gave him.

There are not many lofty mountains and ridges in the north, most of them are flat land, so this castle is just an ordinary fortification, and it can't be called a steep terrain.

Entering the castle, Lena saw a crowded scene, with hundreds of sheep gathered together in a dense cluster.

There are dozens of war horses and horses in the stable next to it, and close to the main fort, you can see many residents in cotton-padded clothes coming in and out.

These should be the leaders of Baron Azak, who were gathered in the castle in order to prevent them from being harmed.

Of course, this is only a small part. There are thousands of residents in his territory, and the castle simply can't accommodate it.

The group of people walked to the gate of the main fort, and the residents stopped and bowed their heads to stand aside, letting the lord masters go in.

After entering the castle, Reiner realized that it was more crowded than the open space of the castle. Even the originally narrow corridor was full of residents. They huddled up on both sides of the corridor as a family unit, trying not to give the castle as much as possible. The people here cause trouble.

But even so, it still makes the cloister of the castle inconvenient to move.

Baron Azac said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Lord Earl, for making you such an offense..."

Rainer waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, my castle was like this before I defeated the Clades. As a monarch, it is my negligence for failing to protect your territory!"

Reiner's words were high-sounding. In fact, if it weren't for life and death, Fengjun would rarely take care of the messy things in the vassal territory.

But after all, the current situation is tense, and Rainer wants to unite these vassals even more, so he will say so.

Walking into the main hall of the banquet castle, it finally seemed a lot more refreshing. There were no residents who had taken refuge here. Perhaps Baron Azak had driven them out in advance.

The cook and the servants put the food on the table. It was nothing more than cheese and jerky, with white bread as the staple food.

"I'm sorry, Lord Earl...you know, because winter is coming, I really don't have much to entertain you..."

Rainer waved his hand to express his understanding, because it was true that this group of vassals did not, like himself, had a good financial situation and vast territory, which could support him in hosting extravagant banquets.

The Baron Azac and his wife were sitting on the right hand side of Reiner. Reiner was always a little unnatural when he saw the wife of Baron Azac, especially in the presence of Baron Azac.

And Baron Azac didn't seem to care about this at all, sitting there very naturally looking at Rainer.

After greetings for a while, Reiner said, "Be prepared, Baron Azak, this time I am here to protect your territory. I will defeat those prairie people who don't know the heights of the land, just like before!"

"I will send someone to inform all the vassals, let them lead the army to assemble in Fort Samnburg, then you can go with me, I want to let the prairie people know what will happen if I offend me!"

Staying in the castle of Baron Azac for one night, Rainer had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He knew that, in the final analysis, this group of prairie people did not want to get land, but hoped to get some supplies to survive the cold winter. In the final analysis, their behavior this time was just the same as that of the nomads in Lena's previous life.

If you don't take this matter to heart, to be honest, it won't have much impact.

But Rainer could not help but express that the duties of a prince must be fulfilled, otherwise the vassal would sooner or later renounce his virtue.

But what Rainer thought was that if he fought an ordinary battle like this, not only would he not get any benefits, but instead spent a lot of resources and would cause casualties.

No matter how it is calculated, it is a loss-making business.

The purpose of war is profit, and Leiner regards this sentence as Gui Gao.

So, can I reach a consensus with the little prince Samuza of Pakuten?

After all, he also has his own enemies, and he has no alternative but to come to the north to plunder.

Now what he wants to think about is how to increase his strength, rather than consuming his strength again and again in such a war.

So he felt that there should be some cooperation possibilities between the two parties.

Since the opponent is weak, can you help him, and then let him be your own help?

All this is just his idea, whether it can be successful, it depends on how to do it in the future.

Now he wanted to think about how to defeat the enemy and how to hurt the little prince of Samuzha so that he could sit down and listen to himself.

"Fight! Must fight!"

Fighting is bound to fight, he must first give his vassal an explanation.

The horse archers under Tillyhan rode their horses and brought Lena's heraldic robes to the castles to convey Lena's meaning.

The vassals began to assemble toward Fort Samn with ecstasy, and Lord Earl finally came to shelter us!

On January 18th of the twenty-fourth year of the empire, Reiner and all his vassals gathered outside the city of Samnburg.

The steppe people are located 20 kilometers east of Fort Samun, and they don't have a large-scale siege of the city. Their purpose is only to rob.

Rainer’s vassals gathered together. The vassals alone had more than 2,000 men, and Rainer’s own army was more than 5,000 men.

With such a large army, Reiner felt that defeating the enemy was not a problem at all. The point was to show his strength to the other side to take a look and understand what kind of person he was fighting against.

His thinking changed again.

Lena was riding on a war horse, looking at the army in front of him with almost no end in sight, a cloud of pride and pride in his heart.

"I'm a hero too, am I?" Rainer thought happily in his heart.

No one can possess such a huge army except for the Kingdom of Redka and the former Earl of Zhebo.

"Go! My soldiers! Show the prairie people how brave we Redka people are!" Rainer drew his sword and pointed it diagonally at the sky, shouting vigorously.

Twenty kilometers east of Fort Samun.

The location of the Pakuten Department.

The prairie people here are still ignorant of the coming danger~lightnovelpub.net~ These so-called Pakuten warriors are sitting in groups of scattered tents eating and drinking.

They have tasted the sweetness from the territory of Rainer's vassals in the past two weeks.

They discovered that the yellow-haired tribe kings who lived in the big houses were so cowardly that they didn't dare to come out to fight even when they hit their doorstep.

And they unscrupulously led the cattle and sheep back to the camp, and roasted them directly after slaughter, so that they hadn't had the days of appetizing and eating meat for a long time.

Prince Samuzha slowly roasted a lamb in his tent, which is the most tender and delicious ingredient.

However, when faced with such a rare delicacy, he seemed a little absent-minded.

That perception of danger made him very uncomfortable, but for the tribe's livelihood, he had to continue to stay here.

"Stay for another five days! The last five days! Leave here immediately after five days!" He fiercely stuck the knife in his hand on the roasted golden lamb, and made up his mind.
