At this time, the Kingdom of Bazaran, located in the northwestern direction of the Redka Empire, was already full of rumors.

Although the new King Irmalu took a series of measures to stabilize the country after he came to power, the internal contradictions have still not been improved.

Especially the supporters of the old king who were very dissatisfied with Elmaru's coming to power. Many people thought that the forty of the old king was made by him, and even the young prince was murdered by him.

Therefore, the vassals of the old kings faction were very dissatisfied with King Irmaru, and often violated his orders, and increased the taxation of merchants in the areas controlled by the King Irmaru.

But speaking of it, because the territory of the Kingdom of Bazaran is far less than that of the Redka Empire, there are not many vassals in the country, and the situation is not as complicated as that of the Empire.

After all, this is only a country slightly larger than the northern border. There are only three high lords at the level of earls in the territory, but they are high lords, but the strength between the lords is not divided by the title alone.

Some barons are powerful, even comparable to an earl, and some earls are weak, and can't even compare to a baron.

Even at the level of kings, there have been situations where the strength is weak. It is not an ordinary state, but has lost all the territories, such as one of the ancestors of the Merland family, the Princeton king, the old emperor. Seven generations of grandfather, that is, the eight generations of Reiner's grandfather.

A king does not have any territory and has the title of king above his head. Although his status is extremely respected, no territory means that there is no army and taxation, and no one will respect him.

Many of his nominal vassals also ridiculed him and gave him a title called "Landless King." (The Landless King of England, John, also known as the Landless King, the son of Henry II, the unpopular king, was united by his own vassals in crusades)

However, unlike the famous "Landless King", although the Princeton King had a very difficult early stage, he quickly gained a territory and developed under his management.

Then through a series of marriages, diplomacy, and wars, he regained the territories that had once belonged to the Merland royal family but were invaded or inherited.

According to statistics, the Princeton king married six wives in his lifetime, but these wives died inexplicably except for the last one who accompanied him to his old age.

Those dowry and inherited territories Princeton King have not returned. Besides, he has waged seven wars with a unilateral number of 5,000 people in his life as a child, and more wars with less than 5,000 people.

Under the actions of the Southern and Northern Wars and the lower-body conquest of his life, the entire northern territory, including Twarimburg County, as well as the now-day Earl of Choral, Belensburg, were all included in the scope of the Redka Kingdom. within.

It was him who had accumulated great strength for the Merland family and laid the foundation for the conquering war of the Redka Kingdom, which is now called the Founding King.

The previous king of the Bazaran Kingdom had a similar experience to the Princeton King. The land of the Bazaran royal family was swallowed, divided, or inherited. By his generation, there was not much left.

Except for an imperial capital and a part of the land outside, they no longer have any territory or people.

There were more than one million people in the huge land of Bazaran Kingdom, but at that time only 10,000 people belonged to the royal family.

With his own wrist and military talent, he took back an inch of territory, and then re-conquered the lords everywhere, so that they remained humble and respectful to the royal family.

He is eight years older than his brother, the current king of the kingdom of Bazaran, Irmaru. Although there is only a mere eight years old, the physical conditions between the two are vastly different.

As soon as the old king reached the age of fifty, his body completely collapsed. During the previous hunting, some accidents occurred and he lost his life forever.

And because he has no heir, according to the law of inheritance, his younger brother Elmaru should be succeeded to the throne.

But because the death of the old king at that time was really strange, the vassals who followed him to fight the world, or the old generals who were canonized in the territory, expressed their dissatisfaction with King Elmaru.

They think that Elmaru's heart of disobedience has been there a long time ago, and that the death of the old king was all done by him.

However, El Maru had been running his own power early on. When the old king fought in the North and South, he was also one of his deputies. He had strong power and prestige in the kingdom.

Although these vassals were dissatisfied with it, in the final analysis they did not dare to act rashly.

King Irmaru was sitting in this palace that already belonged to him. A dozen or so gorgeous dancers were dancing, with soft waists and light bodies. They looked at the man sitting on the highest part of the palace with amused eyes. King Irmaru, the ruler of this country, their owner.

"Your Majesty..." A strong man wearing chain armor walked into the palace and came to King Elmaru unimpeded. It seemed that he was the king's confidant.

King Elmaru glanced at him, then waved to the dancing girls in the field, so the wonderful dance and melodious music stopped in an instant. After paying a salute to the king of Elmaru, they hurriedly left the palace.

"What's the matter?" King Elmaru looked at the confidant and asked.

He knew that if his own person didn't have important things, he wouldn't bother him casually, because the skin of the last person who did that had been pulled off and sewn back.

"Your Majesty, those who oppose you have become more and more arrogant recently, and they seem to have discovered the dilemma of lack of steel in your hands. They are strictly controlling the outflow of steel and increasing efficiency to build armor!"

After hearing the words of his men, King Elmaru frowned.

"Sooner or later~lightnovelpub.net~ I will pull all their skins off!" He said disgustingly, and then asked: "So, how about our steel purchases?"

"Reluctantly, the merchant you secretly sent has bought a lot of iron farm tools from the northern border of Redka and returned to cast..."

"But our previous method of buying steel at a high price has not been effective, and..."

Having said that, this subordinate did not dare to go on.

Because he saw that King Elmaru's face was gradually becoming ugly, if he didn't want to be eaten by the few hounds kept by the King, then shutting up was his best choice now.

Yes, this man embarrassed King Irmaru very much.

At the beginning, he wanted to get more steel to conquer, so he bought steel on a large scale at a high price.

Such behavior undoubtedly exposed his thoughts and aroused the suspicion of the other lords. Steel was controlled more strictly.
