Black Iron Crown

Chapter 314: The bad news of spring

After hearing Samuzha's words, everyone bowed their heads and expressed their fear.

He sighed, looking very tired.

He waved his hand and said in a low voice: "You all go down, have a little confidence in me and Earl Rainer, he will definitely help me through the difficulties!"

Everyone frowned and walked out of the tent in dissatisfaction.

After everyone was gone, Samuzha covered his mouth with felt, and then gritted his teeth and roared like a trapped beast.

After a while, he panted and raised his head, his complexion already calmed down.

The humiliation and daring of surrendering to others, the series of blows brought a sense of frustration, the sense of crisis of not knowing when they will be eliminated, and the suspicion of his subordinates has almost driven him crazy.

Every day listening to the old and weak outside the tent screaming desperately because of hunger, his heart felt as if he had been cut by a knife.

The insecurity of being controlled by others is like a tarsus maggot gnawing his mind all the time.

"It must... it will work..." Samuza said to himself with no expression on his face, closing his eyes.

He didn't believe that he had given up his dignity, gave up his title, and made so many attempts, even looking for the yellow-haired man who only exists in the legend and no one has ever seen.

He paid such a high price, he did not believe that God would not give himself a chance, a chance to retain his noble status.

At this time, there was an uproar among the Pakuten Department.

I don’t know who it is, maybe someone spread it on purpose.

The news that Samuzha surrendered to the northern earl spread quickly as if he had grown wings.

"Have you heard? The king succumbed to the earl of some background! It is the owner of the previous group of yellow-haired people!"

A wretched-looking man said to the person next to him, his face was already covered with wind and frost, and he seemed to live in his forties when he was in his twenties.

"Of course, I heard that it was the king who knelt on the ground and asked for surrender! He said that if he could not get the forgiveness of the northern earl, he would not be able to kneel on the ground!" The other person glanced around and saw that there was no one. Said.

"Really? Really?"

"Then there can be fakes? My brother is the personal guard next to the king, can he not know about it?"

"That's okay, say it quickly!"

"That's it, I tell you not to spread it out!"

"Don't worry! My mouth is very strict!"

"I'm telling you, that's what happened back then..."

These rumors spread extremely quickly as if they had grown wings, and in just one day, they spread throughout the entire Pakuten Department, and the versions were also varied.

The heavy-tasting person even said that the Earl of the North was actually a good bite. The king was left with his life because of that, and he became a vassal of the opponent.

Early the next morning, Samuzha was almost furious when he heard these rumors, but no matter how he traced it, he couldn't find the source of the rumors, and could only prohibit discussion.

But how can strict orders confine the imagination of the working people? They dared not say anything on the surface, but more versions and tricks were derived from behind, even the look in Samuzha's eyes changed.

Time flies so fast, leaving the world in the blink of an eye in winter.

The snow gradually resisted in the house under the more and more majestic sunlight, turning into a bark of spring water and the land.

The spring in the north this year came very early, and the warmth that belonged to it was initially revealed in April.

On April 5th of the twenty-fourth of the Empire, the road to the inland was completely unblocked, and countless merchants and news blocked by ice and snow poured into the north in an instant.

The entire Northern Territory came alive at this moment. Compared to the Northern Territory in the era of Earl Zhebo, the business here has initially revealed cosmetic surgery, and the tax card cancellation policy has attracted a large number of merchants to do business here.

The sound of hoofing horses broke the tranquility around the city like a gust of rain. Nine fast horses galloped through Twarinburg and headed towards Mekalong City.

The red-bottomed golden lion flag on them is very eye-catching, and the soldiers who are on guard on the watchtower can recognize them at a glance.

Quickly let the soldiers guarding the door help open the way, clearing a road leading directly to the main fort.

Due to the early discovery, the three messengers galloping into the city did not cause a commotion. They passed a road made in the middle and came to the square in front of the main fort.

After the two guards guarding the main fort gate confirmed the identity of each other, they let them into the main fort.

Under the leadership of the guards, the three messengers who were servants walked towards Lena's study.

"Bangbang Bang..."

After taking away their weapons, they entered the study room.

After receiving the letter from the messenger and checking the paint, Rainer opened the envelope and checked the letter inside.

Looking at it, Lena's brows wrinkled more tightly.

This letter was written by Grand Duke Mabra to himself, and it explained the situation faced by the royal family throughout the winter.

The large-scale rebels attacked the lords loyal to the royal family in the South and the West at the same time. Now more than 20 baronies have fallen. Of course, many of these lords have directly abandoned their territories and brought The property fled to the imperial capital.

At this time, the royal family is already in a dilemma of fighting on two fronts. After writing this letter to Reiner, Grand Duke Mabra led two thousand royal infantry and four hundred knights, eight hundred archers and two earls. The baron, with a total of 8,500 infantrymen, 2,300 archers, and 780 knights, went to the south to resist the rebels going north.

On the other hand, the rebels had assembled more than 28,000 soldiers and about 700 knights and were marching towards a fortress called the Bulwark Fortress controlled by the royal family.

That is a very important fortress owned by the royal family. He happened to be stuck in a very important line of defense on the north-south trade road. If the emperor had not resolutely forbidden all merchants to stay in this fortress, I am afraid he had already fallen from a fortress. It's a commercial city.

I have to say that the emperor’s strategic vision is still very sharp. Behind this fortress is the territory of the royal family. There is no second fortress as strong as the fortress of Basen within 150 kilometers~www .lightnovelpub.net~ That is to say, once this Basen fortress falls, the territory within one hundred and fifty kilometers will be turned into a piece of scorched earth.

Therefore, in order to ensure the security of this territory, the lords of the royal family, including the queen, unanimously decided that Grand Duke Mabula, the right-hand man of the old emperor, would lead the army to support the southern line of defense.

In the west, another more combative earl led his army to rely on a fortified castle to defend, while Redmara was seated in the imperial capital.

In this letter, Grand Duke Mabra made it clear to Leiner that he no longer trusted the Earl of Redmara. Although he did not produce clear evidence, he was implicitly and implicitly implying something with Leiner, the royal branch.

Reiner was unable to comment on this. What worries him most is the situation with the Grand Duke Mabra.

Although the comparison of the forces between the two sides is not very different, there is still a certain gap in the final analysis, and Shou can indeed do it.

But Archduke Mabula has always had the title of lion wrath, and he worried that Archduke Mabula would lead his army to fight the enemy directly in the wild when he was outraged.
