Black Iron Crown

Chapter 394: Triumphant rebels

   Looking at the battlefield full of mud and blood, Rainer's mood was already very low.

   In this battle, he lost too much power. Not only the knights who had taken to attack the granary before, but he also saw many soldiers sacrificed on the frontal battlefield.

   The chain armor and heraldic pattern on his body obviously belonged to him.

"My Lord Earl, in this battle we have killed 388 recruits, slightly wounded 257 people, and seriously wounded 120 people. Sergeant Morland was killed in battle, 21 people were killed, 19 lightly wounded, and severely wounded. Eight people."

   "The Golden Lion Guards killed five people, slightly injured nine people, and seriously injured two, but the crossbowmen and archers had no casualties..." Baron Leyland came to Renner's side and wanted him to report the number of casualties this time.

   Hearing the news, there was no sadness or joy on Lena's face, but his heart was already very painful.

   The number of people killed in action alone reached more than 400. It is still uncertain how many soldiers with severe injuries will survive, and it is unknown whether soldiers with minor injuries will die because of wound infection and tetanus.

   Moreover, not only the infantry, but also his own knights have suffered a great loss. When they rushed into the battle before, two more Scarlet Gryphon knights fell off their horses, and now there are only nine people left...

   That's it, not counting the losses suffered by his vassals. It is conservatively estimated that in this battle, Rainer's subordinates lost nearly a thousand people, and nearly one-sixth of all his troops were lost on this battlefield.

Thinking of this, Reiner felt a throb in his heart. This was not just because of the pension issue. The army that he had just expanded had lost so much in a blink of an eye, and the population growth of the northern border would become extremely high in the long run. slow.

  The battlefield was finally cleaned up, and the bodies of the soldiers of the counter-insurgency were confined by their comrades. As for the property of those people, they naturally became one of the spoils of others.

   But no one wants to put in the effort to clean up the corpses of the rebels, so the corpse wilderness is soaked in the mud of blood and rain.

   According to statistics after the war, the casualties on the side of the rebels reached a staggering 8,000 people. Of course, the losses under Renner's were one-eighth cool.

   The losses of other lords were mostly caused by the enemy's pursuit and killing while on the way to flee.

   The rebels had escaped a long way, and there were muddy roads everywhere, which were not suitable for pursuit, so the lords who put down the rebels decided to return to Kasselenburg for rest.

   Two days later, when Rainer was resting in his room in Castle Sollenborg, the Earl of Pushtown knocked on his door.

  The Earl of Pushtown walked into the room and said to Rainer, "Have you heard of Rainer? We estimate that we will pursue the enemy tomorrow!"

   "Tomorrow? Chasing the enemy?" Rainer frowned.

   "Yes, haven't you heard of it?"

   "No, I have been in the room for the past two days, not mixing with other lords."

   "It's like this. After we won the victory and rested, our lords of the royal family felt that they had been defeated by the rebels at that time and they had suffered a great shame, and wanted to find their own face on the rebels..."

   "Get your face?" Rainer got up from the bed and looked at the Earl of Pushtown in disbelief.

   He was surprised at the brazenness of this group of people, where is their face?

   During this time, Rainer had heard about the reason for the defeat at the time.

   They were unwilling to support each other, which led to the enemy’s besieged attack and defeat. Everyone rushed to flee. Is there any face in the fight for this?

Had it not taken the knights and attacked the enemy’s rear in time, or if it hadn’t been for my own army and the other two earls, but the army would not retreat, now this group of people would have been dried meat on the gallows. What face is it their turn to get back?

   What's more, the battle has been over for two days. I didn't pursue the chase at the time. Now that the child is dead, they come to milk?

   hurriedly summoned Sarang and another retinue to change their clothes, and Rainer followed the Earl of Pushtown to the hall of Castle Sollenborg.

   Before entering the hall, he heard a hustle and bustle outside the door, and the noisy inside could not hear what was being said.

   "What's your opinion?" The two didn't push the door in immediately, and Reiner asked while looking at the Earl of Pushtown.

   "Otherwise? Why do you think I am looking for you?" The Earl of Pushtown said with a smile.

   Rainer also smiled, then opened the door of the hall and walked in.

   Seeing that Rainer, who hadn't appeared before, appeared here, the arguing lords instantly quieted down.

   "Why did he come? Doesn't he care about these things?"

   "Who knows, maybe he is here to brag about his merits!"

   "His merit? What is his merit? Did the plan to burn the enemy's granary fail?"

   "Small down... Without his support, let's see first, I'm afraid..."

   "Hey, it's me who defeated the enemy without him. What's this? Is defeating the weak group of rebels also considered a feat?"

   Although these lords stopped arguing loudly, they turned to whispering privately with people they knew.

  Leiner ignored these people, walked straight to the long table in the middle, found a chair and sat down in full view.

   "Earl Rainer, why did you come suddenly?" Count Redmara asked, sitting on the main seat.

   "As a member of the royal family, I can't miss such an important meeting, but let me listen to what you mean by the side, don't worry about me!" Rainer waved his hand and said.

With that, he winked at Count Choral, then smiled and nodded at the Baron of Andorra and Count Melel~lightnovelpub.net~ Listening to Leiner's words, the Count of Redmara looked very right. Embarrassing, because although he notified Leiner of this matter, he just passed on to him lightly and stated that he can participate or not.

   So, Rainer didn't even know what was being discussed in the past two days. If it hadn't been told by the Earl of Puston, I'm afraid he would still be kept in the dark.

The table gradually became embarrassing. Finally, an earl gave a light cough and said: "I think we should still pursue the enemy. They have completely failed. We should take advantage of this opportunity. They are wiped out!"

   "Yes, yeah, Count Ron made sense!" An earl nodded and said yes, but he raised his eyes to look at the others, and saw that everyone did not continue to speak, and he couldn't help but shut his mouth.

   "Earl Rainer, what do you think?" Count Redmara looked at the people who were afraid to speak, and asked with a gentle smile on Rainer's face.

   "My opinion? What can I say? The Count of Redmara did not ask for my opinion!" Leiner said stiffly, and he didn't need to save face for this person at this point.

   His own strength has long surpassed him by far, not to mention that he concealed himself beforehand, Rainer's impression of him has long since fallen to the extreme. ...
