The imperial capital's coalition forces moved quickly, but Frank reacted faster than them.

All this is due to Logan's convenient intelligence. If he hadn't told the news to Frank in time, they would have reacted to it when the enemy arrived.

All the royal lords have received the news that the enemy is about to go north, one by one, like a frightened bird, they are seeking the shelter of the former enemy of Frant and the current warning person.

"Immediately lead the army south! The treasury has begun to transfer grain to the south on a large scale, and must keep up with the army's consumption!"

"Earl Cod!" Frante called to Earl Cod. He did not follow Leiner on the march, but stayed in the north to assist Frante, while also intending to guard against her.

"From now on, men who have no disabilities between the ages of sixteen and forty will be recruited into the army. They will start drills today and report the counted numbers to me!"

"In addition, order the blacksmiths to work overtime, divide into three groups for production, stop all armor building, and switch to producing gun heads! The women immediately stop spinning wool cloth, produce gun barrels, and supply them to the army!"

"From now on, it is forbidden for anyone to move between villages at will! No one is allowed to go out or enter in Mekalong City!

"The iron mine prohibits anyone from entering or leaving except for absenteeism and supervision! All staff are on alert, and every household finds anything suspicious and immediately report it level by level! The wool cloth factory understands that it speeds up the production of wool cloth and sews armed clothing! Do your best! So that at least half of the militiamen have armed clothing as protection!"

"Children and elderly people under the age of sixteen are responsible for making simple shields. They don't need to be gorgeous, they only need to be practical!"

At this moment, Frank seemed to be back on the battlefield again. Which invincible commander seemed to reappear in the world again, orders were issued one after another.

Back in the room, Frank took the child from the hand of the maid, and looked at the little meat ball born from his body with a loving look, as if he had received a touch of comfort in his heart.

The brilliance of maternal love bloomed on her haggard face.

This child was born two months ago, weighing a full four kilograms when he was born, and he was a very strong boy.

He inherited Leiner's genes and also had golden hair. Like all the members of the Merland family, Frank's brown hair did not affect his genes at all.

She looked at her child in a trance. After a while, she smiled and said: "Your father will lay a large enough territory for you. This territory can be moved around for you to accommodate all your ambitions!"

"And you will be as great as your father!" She looked at her child, her face full of pride

Frank remembered the day the child was born, and the entire northern territory was caught in a carnival.

This means that the Great Duke of the North, the owner of the Kingdom of the North finally has a legal heir. They no longer need to worry that the good life in front of them is just a dream, and the new Lord of the North will continue the glory of Duke Rainer.

For this reason, the residents of the North Territory even spontaneously celebrated. On the day the child was born, almost all North Territory goods were sold at half price.

At this time, Earl Cholar was already commanding the army to go south, and most of the royal lords who were slightly closer to the north also took the army to the south, intending to block their enemy.

The winter in the north is here as always. When the snow falls from the sky, the north is instantly transformed into a snowy and icy world.

At this time, almost all the militiamen had assembled a full set of equipment.

An armed suit made of twelve layers of woolen cloth, a shield and a two-meter-long spear.

Frant put on the long-lost armor, and headed south with the army mightily.

At this time, she looked quite bloated, and she didn't have the usual sense of lines at all, but even so, her actions were not hindered in any way.

Thousands of soldiers were left in the north, and Earl Cod led the guard against emergencies.

November 25th, 26th year of the Empire.

All the royal lords gathered in Angron Fort, which is the territory of the Earl of Pushtown. He was the closest to the south among the royal lords' territories, so the royal lords thought that the enemy would be the first to attack here.

When Frank arrived here with seven thousand people, it instantly aroused everyone's cheers.

Because of Rainer's departure, they thought that their biggest protector had left, but they didn't expect that the Northern Territory could still produce so many troops.

Seeing more than 7,000 people led by Frant, these royal lords were once again full of confidence in an instant. Together, there are almost 4,000 people. Adding these 7,000 people, that’s 11,000 soldiers. .

In the south, Earl Crick had sent more than a dozen envoys to the other lords and conveyed Rainer's thoughts to them.

Reiner stood on the wall of Fort Creek and looked at the situation below the castle.

Three days have passed, and the enemy still has not launched an attack on its own army.

Even if his own army has camped in the same place and built a complete fortification, the war fortifications in the cold weapon era are really not very useful.

If they want, they can easily break through these fortifications and directly attack.

The messengers arrived at their destination one by one.

"Is Grand Duke Rainer here?" A baron looked at the letter in his hand and said disdainfully: "But what? That's more than 20,000 people! I only go back to help him when my brain is flooded!"

As he said, the baron looked at the messenger and said, "Go back and tell Grand Duke Rainer and your master, Earl Creek, I regret that I cannot assist you. The enemy's power is too great, even if we are there. I am afraid that there will be no change ~lightnovelpub.net~ Therefore, in order to avoid a greater disaster, I can only protect myself, and I hope Earl Crick can understand!"

The messenger reluctantly brought his message back to Fort Creek, and the other dozen people arrived at Fort Creek almost at the same time.

The news they brought back was almost the same.

No one is willing to help Fort Creek, they see no hope of victory.

"Look... I knew it was like this..." Earl Crick said bitterly. Although he had known that this would be the result, it was still a bit unbearable when things were really in front of him.

Rainer closed his eyes and sighed, feeling helpless.

"It seems that we have to win a battle to prove ourselves!" Rainer stood up at the table after a moment of silence.

He glanced around at everyone around him, and slowly said: "Tomorrow morning, we will have a victory!"
