After writing the letter, Rainer put it in the envelope, melted the paint, and then pressed his heraldic ring.

"Give this letter to the messenger and let him take it back to the imperial capital!" Rainer called the guard outside the door to put the envelope in his hand and said.

He takes his safety very seriously, and the two Scarlet Griffin rebels guarding the door.

All his food and drinking water need to be personally checked by the intelligence personnel sent by Logan, just for fear that someone will murder him.

It’s not that he has delusion of persecution. It’s that he is in a high position and wants to step on his shoulders, but there are so many people, not to mention that some of his decisions will inevitably affect the interests of some people. Who knows if they will retaliate by assassination.

The Scarlet Griffon took the envelope and left in a hurry.

Looking at his leaving back, Lena's mouth was slightly cocked.

In any case, steel is in his own hands. If Count Redmara and others want to get it, they have to meet their own conditions. In any case, they are in the active position.

He didn't want to export a large amount of steel directly to the imperial capital. On the one hand, it was not as good as the amount of direct sales of armor, and on the other hand, it also indirectly improved the opponent's strength.

Now most of the royal family are on their side, and when their strength is enough in the future, when the time is right, they may really want to meet each other, and the steel sold to the other party will become an obstacle to them.

The conditions put forward by Reiner are also very harsh. Fifty thousand people are definitely not a small number for any territory. If they are placed in the northern border, the increase in the labor force in the northern border is self-evident.

Regardless of what Earl Redmara decides at that time, Rainer won't suffer.

If he did not agree to send a population of fifty thousand, then Rainer had to cut off the steel and turned over to give them finished iron armor instead.

In that case, Rainer would make more.

And if it sends 50,000 people, it will be even better. There will be 50,000 more laborers in the northern border, and the war potential will become even greater.

At that time, it's a big deal to give this steel to the other party directly, and a hundred tons of steel will not affect the overall situation.

It would be only three or four thousand sets of iron armor after removing the wastage. Rainer's army equipped with more armor than this.

When the time comes to earn 50,000 people, Rainer will be happy to go to heaven.

It has to be said that Leiner's behavior is nothing short of extortion.

But where is there any morality in political matters?

As long as he can make his territory stronger, Rainer doesn't care if he will carry a reputation for extortion. When he is really strong, who will dare to chew his tongue?

February 28th, 26th year of the Empire.

A huge team struggled through the ice and snow in the north.

The heraldic flag with a blue background and full moon flower embroidery was hunting in the cold wind.

There were about two hundred people in a group, looking embarrassed. Each of them was wrapped in heavy clothes, but even so, they were still shivering in this refreshing cold weather.

"Oh my god... this... is this where the young lady stays?" a knight sighed and sighed, trembling.

Since Frank and Lena were married, her identity has never been concealed anymore, her daughter is already well known.

And everyone in Fort Creek, from the squire to the serf, all admired Frank's righteous deeds.

It was she who sacrificed her happiness to exchange peace for all the heat of Fort Creek.

However, even so, Fort Creek at this time is also facing difficulties.

"It's really hard to imagine, Miss, she actually has to face such a harsh environment!" Another knight shook his body and said in a slightly depressed mood.

Because of insufficient preparation, they had lost almost ten people along the way, all of them because of the cold, and they would sleep forever in this ice and snow.

"Hold on! We can reach Mecalon in ten days!" The leading knight shouted loudly, boosting the morale of the team.

At this time, Rainer had also received news about this entry team.

It is impossible for them to pass through a village along the way, and as long as they are discovered by the residents of the north, it means that they are discovered by Rainer.

In the north, no matter whoever finds a foreign team appears, these residents will report it to their village officials, and then the village officials will send people to inform that there will be a guard post every 30 kilometers.

As a result, Rainer's surveillance is almost all over the northern border.

"Blue Mochizuki Flower?" Lena put down the parchment in his hand, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"It seems to have arrived!" Rainer couldn't help but smile. Although Fort Creek might not be able to bring himself much income, the small mosquito legs are meat, and one thing is better than nothing.

"There are people from Fort Creek, they have already entered the northern border!" In the evening, Rainer said to Frank beside him.

"Really, that's great, I haven't heard from my hometown for a long time!" Frank looked very excited when he heard what Rainer said.

"Ah, this time you can use them to learn about Fort Creek!" Rainer said with a smile.

March 15th, 26th year of the Empire.

A group of people from Fort Creek finally arrived outside the city of Mecalon with difficulty.

Looking at the majestic and prosperous city in front of them, they couldn't help but feel excited but tears filled their eyes.

After walking for a full four months, and after many hardships along the way, I finally reached this final destination.

After explaining their identity and handing the voucher to Rainer, the group finally got permission to enter the city of Mecalon.

Seeing the prosperity here, Sir Wilson, who led the team, couldn't help but be dazzled.

Although there are more commerce in the south than in the north, there is not a large-scale commercial city in Fort Creek.

Most of the commercial activities are completed in spontaneous markets or villages~lightnovelpub.net~ Although commercial activities are very frequent, they have not formed such a majestic and blooming city as Mekalong. City.

Walking into the city wall, whether it is selling animal skins, pine resin, wood, firewood, or all kinds of prey, meat, milk, or other handicraft products are sold here.

And according to their observations, the most popular thing here is the strange-looking cloth, which is a kind of cloth that looks more slender than wool cloth.

In his opinion, it was definitely an expensive fabric, which made him give up this bold idea if he wanted to buy some.

At the same time, I was amazed by the residents of Mecalon. After all, they can afford such delicate and soft fabrics, and they seem to be richer than the noble jazz.

He was one of those who followed Flandt on the battlefield in the South and North. He knew very well which northern earl and now the northern duke’s strength, so he restrained those under him and prohibited them from committing crimes. Crime.
