The cheers of these vassals were so deafening that almost the entire huge main fort could hear their shouts.

Frank waited anxiously in the room, and after hearing this sound, there was hope in his heart.

"How's it?" Frank looked at Rainer who had returned to the room and immediately rushed up and asked.

"They agreed!" Rainer nodded with a smile.

"We will gather all our troops in half a month and set off on Fort Creek to save my dear father-in-law from the crisis!" Rainer put his hands on Frank's shoulders and said near her face: "Don't worry, your father will definitely be able to make it until we arrive!"

"Hmm..." Frant nodded with a big smile, but then a touch of worry gradually emerged in his eyes.

"You must be careful...or I will go with you!" After this period of time, Frank had already developed some emotions with Rainer, and she was worried about what happened to her husband.

Rainer patted her head and smiled happily: "Do I still need you to worry about it? Don't forget that you were my defeat at the beginning!"

Hearing what Rainer said, Frank was a little unhappy. After all, leading the army to defeat the rebels was the most glorious record in her life.

What's more, Rainer's plan was once seen through by him and her, trapped in a small wooden fence, and needed to sacrifice some talents to break through.

"What's more, you are now pregnant with our children. I don't want you to have any accidents and sit down for me at home! Take good care of our territory!"

Hearing Lenner say this, Frank did not have a seizure.

"Help me sit in the territory. During this time, you will arm the militiamen and arrange them together temporarily. I don't want any accidents in the territory!"

"Accident?" Frant was taken aback when he heard Rainer's solemn words that didn't seem to be a joke, and said, "What kind of accidents will there be?"

"You know, the royal lords are at odds with the upstarts. I'm worried that there will be no deterrence after I leave with the army. They are arrogant!"

"What?" Frank looked at Leiner with an incredulous expression: "Are you sure they dare to do that?"

"I'm not sure, but we should guard against such a situation!"

"The little emperor is in the hands of the queen. Now the empire is basically the queen and the Earl of Redmara has the final say. I am worried that they will really do such a thing!"

"So, my dear general, take the army to guard against all this, at least until I come back!" Rainer put his forehead up and said face to face with Frank.

"Don't worry!" Frank nodded solemnly: "I will definitely keep your foundation! I swear!"

July 3rd, 26th year of the Empire.

The entire Northern Territory was busy, the planting work was about to end, and all the vassals were also gathered together.

These vassals have already made some money by providing Rainer with untreated wool and wool cloth, and have expanded their army.

There are more troops than before the counter-insurgency war, but they have not improved much in combat effectiveness.

Rainer gave them the same orders as before, with only the regular army without any serf conscripts.

As early as more than a month ago, Mikalon City had already carried out intensive preparations.

More than four thousand sheep were slaughtered and marinated with large amounts of salt to turn them into bacon for preservation on the road.

The wheat is ground into flour by a mill with full firepower, which is easy to carry on the road. A large number of beans are loaded into the truck. These are the feed of the war horses and the food of the soldiers.

For war horses, they need to eat a mixture of clover and beans to maintain their physical strength during the war.

However, the cavalry horses under Lena's command were specially bred. Lena worried that the mixing of clover would cause them to lack physical strength, so he decided to let them eat beans on the battlefield.

At a time, more than 800 carriages were used to transport food, in addition to armor and weapons, these also needed carriages to reproduce.

Fortunately, Lainer’s intermediate horse farms have a strong load-bearing capacity, and the ultimate pulling force can reach three or four tons. Otherwise, it would cost more than a thousand horse carts to transport food.

For this expedition, Rainer grinds two thousand tons of wheat into flour, which is definitely an astronomical figure for the other lords.

However, for Rainer, it was only the materials needed for a war. In his warehouse, there are still 160,000 tons of wheat and beans, which are still left after several rounds of food sales and brewing.

The huge land and arable land in the northern region have allowed Reiner to produce a lot of food, and more and more livestock will be able to cultivate more land, which greatly increases the amount of food in the northern region.

Now even if a million people suddenly squeeze into the north, there will never be a famine.

Just as Rainer instructed the transfer of various materials in the study, Logan suddenly walked in.

"Something?" Reiner couldn't help asking, looking at Logan's solemn expression.

"Master Duke, I have recently received an important piece of news, and I must report it to you!"

Rainer nodded for him to continue.

"According to our spies report in the Imperial Capital, recently the caravans from the southern part of the Imperial Capital have frequent entry and exit, and the number of caravans rushing to the south from the Imperial Capital is also increasing day by day. Among them, 30% of the caravans are flying the banner of Count Redmara!"

"And just three months ago, such commercial activities actually dropped drastically, and in an instant it dropped by more than 60%. Although the southern rebellion has been put down, obviously the relationship with the imperial capital is still bad. I think there must be something hidden in it. So report to you, Lord Duke immediately!"

"Business activities are intensive..." Rainer narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his chin lightly with his hand, and thought.

Speaking of it, such behavior is indeed very suspicious. After all, the Earl of Redmara and the southern rebels were killed loudly before ~lightnovelpub.net~ There has been such frequent exchanges in less than a year. .

No matter who it is, I am afraid that this is not a normal thing.

"Could it be that they intend to reconcile with the lords of the south and oppress the lords of the royal family together?"

Thinking of this, Rainer felt that this war was even more necessary. If the lords who besieged Earl Creek could be defeated, it would once again give the lords of the south a deterrent.

Maybe they can give up their alliance with the Earl of Redmara. Even if it is a coalition, this war can consume all the lords who may be united with them in advance.

And by keeping Earl Creek, Rainer can use him to win over some other southern lords.

After all, Fort Creek was so miserable, but it was not without a good lord.

In addition, on the battlefield of counter-insurgency, Frank also won the favor of a group of lords, and now to this point, it is only because the enemy forces are too powerful, and the lords who have a good relationship with Earl Crick dare not come forward.
