Over time, the news that Archduke Mabra was attacked and killed by the rebel Frant spread throughout the empire.

All the royal lords felt distraught about this, and vowed to take the **** Sir Frank skin and cramp and avenge Duke Mabra.

Rainer also received the news in the North, and when the letter searched the female sword in front of him, he could hardly believe it.

"He was attacked to death by the enemy on the battlefield?" Rainer slapped the letter on the table, staring at Count Jolar, and asked loudly.

This time, Earl Jolar personally sent the letter to Rainer. First, he hoped to have a conversation with Rainer himself.

The second is that he can't stand the messy imperial capital anymore. Those short-sighted emerging aristocrats are still fighting for power with the old imperial parties headed by the royal family at this critical moment, taking advantage of the impact of the death of Grand Duke Mabula.

And those royals are all arrogant and arrogant, and their eyes are almost as short-sighted.

Count Jolar thought he was very proud, but he still couldn't bear their arrogant attitude when facing the royal family.

His heart is very confused now, and his worries about the future of the royal family and the anger of those imperial parties are mixed together, making him look worried.

Listening to Leiner’s question, Earl Jolar barely smiled. Leiner was one of the few impudent royals he had ever seen: "Yes...All royals, including me, are very sad!"

Rainer sat back in the chair, frowning.

Not long ago, Grand Duke Mabra talked with himself. Although there are not many overlaps, he has a very good impression of the elder of the tranced royal family.

Unexpectedly, this old man left the world in just one year.

"Frank?" Rainer murmured to himself.

In addition to his regret for Grand Duke Mabra, he also had concerns about the future.

The current background is still unable to dominate the group, and the royal family needs to stand up for a while. If the royal family falls at this time, then it will definitely be very difficult for him to develop next.

The powerful royal family has been wiped out. Can they not wipe out the earl with a small background?

Rainer felt that as a member of the Moland family, he didn't think the rebels had any reason to let him go.

"So, what is the state of the royal family now? Can we still form a strong counter-insurgency army?"

Sir Rainer should inquire about the remaining strength of the empire, otherwise his heart is really hopeless.

What idea did Count Jolar send himself a letter to himself, do you still have to think about it? It's nothing more than to let himself lead the army into the war.

Count Jolar looked at Rainer hesitantly, not knowing what to say.

"Don't do this, Earl Jolar, tell me the truth, so that I can think about what should be done, right?"

Seeing Rainer's expression, Count Jolar also felt that he should not deceive his friends.

So he said: "The current situation is not very good. The army led by Grand Duke Mabra lost more than half of the frontline. Only less than four thousand people fled back to the imperial capital, and within a short time these people were unable to fight again. ."

"In addition, there are more than 8,000 regular troops on the western battlefield to resist the rebels in the west, and now there are only more than 10,000 regular troops that the royal family can send to the southern battlefield..."

Listening to the low voice of Earl Jolar, Rainer's expression became more solemn.

He has obtained the exact number of enemy troops from the letter. Even after a major battle, the opponent will still have more than 30,000 troops after the defeat.

Ten thousand to thirty thousand, the disparity in military strength!

Seeing Rainer’s increasingly ugly expression, Earl Jolar also knew Rainer’s reluctance, but he was still like an angry little daughter-in-law, and whispered: "This is indeed too exaggerated... but we can’t help it. If the rebels are allowed to continue advancing in this way, the Morland family will be in danger!"

The cautious look of Count Jolar was in stark contrast to the way he usually grinned loudly, and Rainer would definitely laugh at other times.

But under such bad news, he obviously couldn't laugh.

Rainer closed his eyes and thought for a while, Earl Jolar did not say a word and did not dare to disturb Rainer.

After a while, he opened his eyes and nodded, and said, "Well, I agree to send troops..."

In any case, I am a royal family but a vassal. Besides, I still intend to get development time behind the royal family. Now that the royal family has fallen, it will not work.

"Great Earl Rainer! As expected, he is a descendant of the royal family! Our royal family will never treat you badly!" After all, Earl Jolar is also close to the royal family. Turn in circles.

"Okay, you are also ready to rely on it first, I will explain it, and then I will start to recruit my vassals!" Reiner really has no confidence in the next battle, and he secretly thought that he could find a fortress and continue to defend. It is enough to directly defeat the enemy's vigor.

If he wanted his army to fight head-on with a large number of enemy forces on the plains, he would definitely not agree, even for the royal family.

Rainer invited his court officials to explain the cause and result of this incident, and ordered Ezehi and Baron Cord to prepare the logistics materials that they needed to carry this time.

It is worth mentioning that Rainer now has more than 140 horses produced in the racecourse. He has begun to officially equip his knights, but unfortunately the number is still too small to be fully popularized.

A fast horse galloped out from Mekalong City. Recently, Tillihan and his horse archers were not in Mekalong City during this period, but they were arresting herdsmen on the grassland to expand Tilihan. The population in the territory.

Rainer divided the pasture into several parts, and Tiryhan got one of the huge pastures of about 20,000 square kilometers. At the same time, he wanted to provide Rainer with part of the prairie cavalry.

In addition to him ~lightnovelpub.net~ there are two other vassals who are also constructing grasslands. They reclaimed part of the cultivated land and built houses. Although livestock are still stocked, they have already lived a semi-agricultural settlement.

Samuzha was also there. In order to restrain him from escaping from his rule, Rainer forced them to grow cash crops instead of food.

Within half a month, the lords who had been entrusted to the southeast by Rainer finally gathered outside the city of Mecalon, and Rainer ordered them to station outside.

After more than a winter of recuperation, they have replenished the regular army. Although the combat effectiveness may not be as good as before, the number is even greater.

In addition, they also exchanged part of the iron armor from Rainer at a reasonable price. Counting the armor made by their own blacksmith, two-thirds of the people have already put on the iron armor.

Even if the remaining people don't have iron armor, they can wear an orthodox leather armor that has been tanned, and the defense is also very good.

Standing on the wall and looking at the soldiers camping under the wall, Count Jolar said to Rainer with an enviable expression: "You have so many under your command, but the vassals are really enviable. Maybe you are the strongest in the entire empire. Lord!"
