Black Iron Crown

Chapter 461: Set off

After thinking about it carefully, Rainer chose to send troops without hesitation.

The army of his vassals gathered around the city of Mecalon, and the whole city seemed to be turned into a large barracks.

The soldiers had some spare money in their hands, so they took advantage of their relaxing time to enter the bustling city to have fun.

There are more than 30,000 permanent residents in Makalong City, and there are more than 30 taverns or inn branches in every corner of the city. In addition, there are many people such as prostitutes and secret prostitutes.

Within a few days, it created a lot of income for the citizens.

And because of the maintenance of the patrol, the security in the city has not been reduced too much due to the influx of these soldiers, and it is still maintained in a good range.

Although many soldiers were severely beaten by the patrol and then thrown out of the city, they were still quite harmonious in general.

In the countryside, one by one militiamen were also called up again.

After a winter's preliminary training, they already have some combat effectiveness.

These people are already strong and have a certain amount of experience in the use of weapons. After some training, the combat effectiveness is considered passable.

More than 8,000 militiamen have been organized, and now the busy farming season has passed. Most of them have been placed outside the city of Mecalon to continue training, and the rest are responsible for guarding the remaining five castles in Lena's hands.

The seventy or eighty densely packed castles in the north had been demolished by Lena long ago, and the stone road was exchanged through the system.

July 6th, 26th year of the Empire.

early morning.

Lena wore a set of composite armor, painted with the coat of arms of the Northern Territory Molander on his chest, and rode vigorously on the back of a tall war horse.

One of his followers led the horse for him with a helmet under his armpit. Thirty Scarlet Gryphon riders followed behind him and photographed them in three rows, following him neatly towards the outside of the city.

The residents of Mecalon City have long felt the atmosphere of the war during this period, but after a series of victories by Reiner, everyone thinks that their Lord Duke is invincible.

With smiles on their faces, they took off their fur hats and greeted Lena one after another, cheering in their mouths: "My Lord Duke is invincible!"

Although these people are just civilians, they can feel the sense of honor brought by living under the rule of the Grand Duke of the North.

They are proud and proud of it.

When they walked to the city gate, Mrs. Morland and Frande took a group of servants to send off again.

Rainer turned over and got off the horse. The armor on his body made a rustling sound of iron fragments. He walked forward with his chest up and came to his mother.

Although Lenner didn't help each other when Frank seized power some time ago, Mrs. Moreland still has no resentment towards Lenner.

After all, her husband is dead, and her only idea is to help her son. Now that this territory has ushered in a new mistress, and her son trusts her, there is no need to continue to exercise her rights. Caught in your hand.

Mrs. Moreland hugged him, and then solemnly said: "I know that you men always pursue your own honor and rights on the battlefield, and so does your father."

"But, I hope you can remember that everyone here can't live without you, guarantee your own safety! Swear to me!"

"Yes, mother, I swear I will return safely! With victory and glory, my soldiers will fight for me in blood!" Rainer nodded solemnly.

Mrs. Moreland stared at Rainer for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Really like your father, he was like you when he was young, always pursuing glory and victory!"

"Of course!" Rainer grinned: "I am his son after all!"

Although he had never seen his physical father and had no feelings, he still said so.

"No... he is not as good as you. You took the family to glory, and the same will continue in the future! Keep your safety! If there are more, I won't say anything, go and talk to your wife!"

Mrs. Morland looked at Flante behind and said, then quickly looked away.

Although she doesn't resent Rainer, it doesn't mean that she can live in peace with this woman who once caused trouble to her son.

Rainer walked to Frantan's side and gently grabbed her hand: "It's almost eight months, right?"

Frantz pursed his lips and did not speak, but looked at his husband and nodded.

"I'm sorry, I can't be by your side when you give birth and our baby is born!" Rainer said guiltily.

"It doesn't matter..." Frank said, holding his hand tightly: "This is what I asked for. You must pay attention to your safety!"

Lena laughed: "Even you, the general who fought so many victories back then, are my defeated generals. Is there anyone in this world who can defeat me?"

"Don't worry! I will come back with victory and honor, and the news of your father and their safety will come back!" After finishing speaking, before Frank could speak, he walked behind him.

Stepping on the stirrups and turning on his horse, Lena hurriedly walked out of the city wall with the snow-colored gryphon riders.

Behind him, the cheers in the city of Mecalon could be faintly heard, and they were looking forward to Rainer's victory.

At this time, the weather in the north is getting clearer, summer has already arrived, and the short period of spring is almost negligible. Perhaps spring is the season of snow melting.

As the output of wool cloth increased, and its defensive performance was much stronger than that of simple linen cloth, the armed clothing lined with the iron armor of the soldiers became wool cloth products.

All of Lena's army, including the army of vassals, formed a square formation, standing neatly in front of Lena.

Sergeants Morand were as silent and rigid as ever, they were as reliable and firm as all Rodok men.

Leonor held his head up and looked at the huge army formation that almost couldn't see the edge at a glance, an uncontrollable ambition rising from his heart~lightnovelpub.net~My soldiers and vassals! "Liner shouted loudly.

Although his voice cannot be heard by everyone, the soldiers in front will repeat his words to make sure that everyone knows what Rainer means.

"We are going to make the second expedition to the south!"

"They are shameless! And fearless! They besieged my father-in-law, the territory of Earl Crick! This is the honor and face of ignoring me, Grand Duke Lena Moreland of the North!"

"Now! I will take you! Go to the rich place in the south to claim my face and glory! And they! Will be defeated in our hands again! Is he no one, he must sacrifice all his treasures? , As compensation to us!"

"You as my soldiers! Those who fight for me on the battlefield, you are eligible to get one-third of the number!"

"Now! Let's attack the thin and cowardly Southerner!"
