"Grand Duke Rainer..."

Hearing this long-lost name, Mekasha was slightly lost.

"Unexpectedly, he has become a grand duke..."

But thinking that he can have such a position today, all because he killed his father and brother, Mekasha's heart once again surfaced infinite hatred.

Seeing the uncertain face of the beauty beside him, King Elmaru asked with concern: "What's the matter with Mekasha?"

"Ah, it's okay!" Mekassa just returned to God from her thoughts, barely smiled, and said: "I don't know him either, maybe he became famous after I left the north, but we are rich in the north. Steel is real!"

Looking at Mekatha’s unnatural expression, King Elmaru frowned unclearly, and then said with a smile: "Yes, so I sent someone to buy steel in the north, waiting for me and Grand Duke Rainer. If the cooperation is truly reached, the clowns will not be afraid!"

With that, King Elmaru grabbed Mekatha's hand, put her in his arms, and hugged her on his thigh.

"Don't do this, your Majesty, we are not married yet!" There was a touch of shyness on Mekasha's face, but there was a vague disgust in her eyes.

Walking on the marching road, Lena's army was lightly outfitted and simple, except for the indispensable armored clothes, the iron armor was thrown onto the back of the carriage by them.

This can increase the speed of their marching. Now Rainer's army can travel thirty to forty kilometers a day, which is already the most extreme marching speed of this era.

It is a powerful army that travels sixty miles a day when placed in the heavenly dynasty.

But even so, it still takes eight or ninety days of march to reach Fort Creek, and the distance between the two parties is too far.

Sitting on the back of a camel horse, Reiner’s equipment is also very simple, just a regular uniform with a simple pattern. There will always be one-fifth of the army in armour to prepare for battle. This is a rotation. Coming.

At this time, although they have already left the northern border or even Belensburg, their geographical position is still in the north. July is summer, but they have not reached the extreme heat. On the contrary, there are occasional cool breeze on their foreheads. , It's refreshing and comfortable.

Although it was tiring to march all the way, the cool weather brought some comfort to the soldiers.

But such good days are running out. When they reach the south, they will face the torment of wearing armed clothes and double-layer iron armor all day long.

But in order to survive, no one will complain about it.

At the same time, some rumors gradually spread among the imperial capital.

"I heard that the Grand Duke of the North, Rainer, is leading the army to the south, as if it was because the Earl of Creek in the south was under siege."

"I also heard about it, but it's really strange. The Earl of Crick was also a member of the rebel army, but Grand Duke Rainer was one of the royal lords. Logically speaking, they should be enemies. Why did he cross? To support you so far?"

"Don't you know? Grand Duke Rainer's wife, Frank, is the daughter of Earl Crick, and he is going to rescue him!"

"But what makes me curious is that at the beginning one of the conditions for the two parties to negotiate a peace was marriage with Mrs. Frank, and then the southerners were not allowed to attack Fort Creek. Now they have clearly torn up the agreement, and all lords except for Grand Duke Rainer The adults didn't make any moves!"

"It stands to reason that this situation is enough for the Lords to form a coalition again, but now..."

"Isn't this a normal thing? Since the last war, the lords of the royal family have torn apart with the upstarts. It is not easy to get rid of the past!"

"Yes, but what makes me curious is that Her Majesty the Queen should definitely stand on the side of the royal lords. Why does she help the upstarts to oppress the royal lords like that?"

"This is unclear, we can't speculate on the thoughts of the upper echelons!"

These two are two middle court officials in the Teska Palace, and they chat about recent rumors outside of work.

The entire imperial capital was covered by rumors, and the news that Grand Duke Rainer led the army to the south had spread throughout most of the empire.

Rainer didn't let any royal lord go with him, and they themselves didn't want to see the huge loss of Frank. If Rainer strongly demanded it, it might even be counterproductive.

In the Tska Palace, Count Redmara reported to her in the queen's palace what had happened in the north.

"In other words, did you arrange everything, right? We must be able to get enough steel?" The queen said, looking at the documents in her hand.

"Yes, your Majesty, we are going to regain control of the huge steel reserves in the north, and we will be fearless anymore!"

"That's good, I can't wait for this day!" The queen's face gradually became gentle, and the expression in Count Redmara's eyes became blurred.

Count Redmara walked slowly towards the queen, and she sat on the big bed in the room where the queen and the old emperor used to lie.

"You are very beautiful today, Your Majesty!" Count Redmara smiled and looked at the queen's face: "Even the stars in the sky are less than one ten thousandth of your beauty, you are simply my angel!"

As he said, Count Redmara rushed up, and the two lingered again.

After a while, the panting Count Redmara got off the bed.

Being on the big bed of the once supreme old emperor, entangled with his wife as much as possible, this is a kind of double satisfaction for his heart and physiology.

"Our plan is already underway, and it will be successful soon. When that happens, we don't need to cover up like this anymore!"

Count Redmara put on his pants and said.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time~lightnovelpub.net~ I've had enough of this, but days, you'd better hurry up!" The queen wiped her body with the sheet line and looked at Redmara The count in his eyes was full of love.

At this time, Fort Creek was still facing a siege, and they had lost more than three hundred soldiers over time.

The rebels also seemed to have given up on hand-to-hand combat and attacked the city wall directly. Relying on the advantages of wells and their strength, they madly projected towards the city wall. Soldiers were injured by arrows almost every day.

More than fifty people have died of tetanus and infections.

There was a depressive atmosphere on the city wall, and the soldiers huddled tightly behind the battlements for fear of being shot by the enemy's arrows.

Many of their arrows are bony arrows, and even sharpened wooden sticks are simply made into arrows.

Although the armor-breaking ability is not strong, in fact they will stick to feces before shooting, even if it is only a minor injury, it will cause the soldier to die painfully due to tetanus.

For a while, the soldiers on the wall were in danger, for fear of being shot by the enemy's arrows.
