Black Iron Crown

Chapter 398: Plague outbreak

"Damn it!"

Count Antar gritted his teeth and cursed fiercely.

This was an inexplicable failure. He hadn't done anything yet, just led the knights to attack the enemy's array. He didn't expect that after he realized that the horse was losing speed and withdrew, he was already defeated.

The rest of the lords were also dejected and looked embarrassed.

In their view, such a battle should be a complete victory.

Although the number of enemy troops is much larger than that of their own, their combat effectiveness is not very good, not to mention that they have just experienced defeat and should have been unable to fight against themselves.

Suffering such a fierce counterattack was unexpected to everyone.

"It must be admitted that Earl Rainer is right!"

Count Meryl walked to Count Antare's side and sighed.

"Yes, go back, go back to Kasselenburg..."

The rebels on the other side have already begun to sweep the battlefield.

The Ping Rebels lost nearly two thousand corpses to be good at, which means that more than a thousand sets of iron armor were abandoned. They happily stripped the armor off the corpses and put them in the bag.

"Master Earl, we have seized a batch of grain and grass from the enemy, which is probably enough for our army to eat for five days!" An attendant walked to the earl of Lorans.

Having said this, he leaned in earl of Lorans again, and whispered: "But if it's just us, it will be enough for us to return to the territory!"

"Um... I see!" Earl Lorans nodded, and then said: "Call all the lords here, and continue with the previous topic!"

Seeing that Lord Lorance didn't immediately adopt his suggestion, this Hu Cong walked out with a disappointed look on his face to summon the rebel lords.

Half an hour later, the lords of the rebel army came to Count Lorans one after another.

Each of them is sweating profusely. The south in August is very hot. Even if they have adapted to this temperature, sweating is inevitable.

Watching Count Lorans roll over and dismount, and hand over the rein to a retinue behind him, the rest of the lords also dismounted and gathered.

"Now, we have good news and bad news!"

"The good news is that we have seized a batch of food from the enemy who committed the crime!"

After hearing this, the rebel lords immediately couldn't help laughing, and finally there was food to eat!

Only Frank remained silent, and of course, no one could see her expression in her helmet all the time.

"Well, what's the bad news?" Frank asked.

"Good question..." Count Lorance sighed and said, "The bad news is that these foods are only enough for all of us for five days..."

"Five days...?"

The mood of these lords immediately fell to the bottom.

What is enough for five days?

Even the nearest Fort Creek is more than 300 kilometers away. Even at full speed, it will take at least fifteen days to reach it. What about the remaining ten days?

"This...what can I do!" The lords of the rebel army panicked again.

"Damn it, if it wasn't for Sir Frank..."

A lord said in a low voice.

"That is, if he could eliminate Earl Rainer in the first place, we wouldn't have been defeated in the first place!"

"Hey! What are you talking about? Have you said it several times? Have you never seen the strength of Earl Rainer on the battlefield?"

"Yes, Sir Frank has just led us to victory in this battle. Are you ungrateful now?"

Hearing this, Lord Lorance's face changed slightly.

The Duke of Ans keenly noticed the change in Lord Lorance's expression, so he said strangely: "Yes, he led us to win this battle!"

Count Lorens frowned and looked at him.

The Duke of Ans continued to praise him as if he hadn't seen it.

"Sir Frank's performance in this battle is very good. If it weren't for her, we might have been defeated!"

"Yes! You are right. We can still stand here and talk, all thanks to Frank!"

A lord stood up to agree, and gave Frank a friendly look.

Frant nodded slightly, but felt a little bad.

I saw the Duke of Ans with a weird smile, and then continued: "But think about it, if Sir Frank had eliminated the Earl of Rainer, all these things would not be proven, the root cause was our defeat. It's Sir Frank!"

"Now a series of forensic things are all caused by Sir Frank, and now you are beginning to be grateful to him? It's ridiculous!"

"You! You fart!" Baron Lindauer furiously pointed at the gray-haired Duke of Ans, and cursed.

"Isn't this true?" Duke Ans said ironically.

"Okay!" Earl Lorance smiled and raised his hand and said: "Stop arguing, even if it's Sir Frank's responsibility? We have reached this situation, so we don't have to fight anymore. We forgive Frank. Sir!"

"Then what should we do now? Five days of food will not be able to support our return to the territory anyway!"

Hearing these words, Earl Lorens pondered slightly.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, glanced at everyone present, and slowly said: "Let's... negotiate a peace..."

As soon as these words came out, it was like throwing a high-explosive bomb in the field, causing a huge commotion in an instant.

"What? How can we make peace with that **** Molander?"

"They...they are victors, will they be willing to keep peace with us?"

"If I die, I won't make peace with the **** Molander! This is impossible!"

"Do we have other ways?" Count Lorans waited and looked at the lords, and shouted: "Even if we brace ourselves all the way back to the territory and brace ourselves back, how many people will fall? On the road? Who can guarantee that Molande will not send anyone to crusade us in the next time?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent for an instant. This was a cruel fact that they had to face.

"But... even if there is an agreement, what can we do?"

"We can make demands with them~lightnovelpub.net~ We can even announce that we will submit to the Merland family again. The Merlanders have always been arrogant and arrogant. If they are given the glory of "judgment", they may be true. Will provide us with food!"

"What's more, even if they don't give us food, we can stay safe from crusade for a certain period of time!"

"Furthermore, besides us, the lords in the west have also rebelled."

"They must be back home now. As long as we seize the opportunity, it is very likely that we will get some food from them!"

The rebels talked a lot, and there was chaos in Kassel Wheel.

The lords who went out to pursue the enemy were defeated, and the remaining lords were unsurprisingly cynic.

Just as an internal battle was about to erupt in the castle, a bad news awakened everyone.

The dark curse of the devil broke out!

Among the symptoms Leiner described, he knew that this...is the plague.
