Black Iron Crown

Chapter 498: Qingjun's side

A total of ten towering wells have been assembled. The long stay in the north was basically all because of these siege equipment.

With these siege equipment, even if the walls of the imperial capital are so high, it is nothing more than a turtle in the urn.

The ten wells can accommodate more than 400 archers. Reiner’s Winter crossbowmen have been exchanged for 100 people by his points. Their shooting speed is not comparable to any arms of this era. of.

Rainer had placed the greatest hope of attacking the city on them, after all, he was really reluctant to use infantry to attack the city.

More than four hundred arrows were poured onto the city wall in the dark. There were not many defenders at night, so the casualties to the enemy were not large, but even so, the screams spread throughout the city wall.

Rainer sat in the tent, and Earl Jolar and Puxton sat in it.

"So, the so-called Qingjun side is actually restoring Morand's Zhengshuo, do I understand that right?" The Earl of Puxton looked at Renner with scorching eyes, as if he wanted to see through his true thoughts.

The eyes of Rainer and the Earl of Puston met, and the two sides were tit-for-tat against each other.

"Yes, **** shouldn't stay in that seat full of glory!"

Rainer didn't avoid any taboos, and said straightforwardly.

Count Jolar watched the atmosphere between the two become more and more weird, and couldn't help being very anxious, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only look at them worriedly.

"So? If the **** is pulled down, who should be the new emperor?" The Earl of Puxton also didn't avoid any taboos, clarifying the question in his mind.

Reiner smiled and said unwillingly: "I am the highest ranking member of the Merland family. At the same time, I am the only one who can protect the members of the Merlander. I think no one but me can hold the throne!"

The Earl of Pushtown did not speak immediately after listening to Leiner's words, but stared closely at Leiner's eyes.

Reiner was unwilling to be outdone, and looked at the eyes of the Earl of Pushtown, tit-for-tat.

The air is suffocating at this moment.

Qiaolar looked at these two people in this way. Although he had a rough temper, he was not a foolish man who knew nothing about the world. He understood what the emperor's throne meant to everyone.

After the two looked at each other, the Earl of Pushtown nodded: "If you become the emperor, you can indeed guarantee our interests and maintain the glory of the empire."

The silent atmosphere was broken, and Rainer finally laughed: "Don't worry, I will guarantee your interests, and the glory of the empire will bloom even more wonderfully in my hands!"

No one knows that the future of the empire has been decided in this small tent. This is just an ordinary night. The history books will only record that today is the day when the capital is surrounded.

Winter's crossbowmen, under the protection of Jing Lan, fired at the wall very wretchedly, and the enemy's archers also counterattacked.

And because the height of the well is slightly higher than the city wall, they have an advantage in the process of shooting, and they burned the anger of the defenders in the city for a while.

Today's attack was only a demonstration. After several confrontations, the Winter crossbowmen died down, preparing to recharge their batteries for the next day's battle.

However, today is a sleepless night for the upstarts in the conference hall of the Teska Palace.

The dim yellow oil lamp flickered and dimmed, illuminating the discussion hall extremely miserably, and the upstarts sat on the chairs with a sad face and were helpless.

The queen's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and she was holding the little emperor who knew nothing about world affairs. The little emperor was innocent and completely unaware that his status was being challenged. Two pairs of green pupils looked at everyone drippingly.

He mischievously stroked his mother's arm, hoping that she could play with him as usual.

However, how could the queen at this time be in the mood to play with him, it was when he was very anxious, this action of the little emperor completely added fuel to the fire.

The queen shook his arm fiercely, and the little emperor was thrown to the ground. He was stunned, and then cried loudly.

As a distinguished emperor, when he was treated like this, everyone in the imperial capital respected him, and all the servants served him carefully, for fear of angering the queen.

However, his usual weapons have lost their effect at this moment, and no one came to coax him. If it was normal, as long as he cried, he would immediately have a servant bringing a lot of toys to coax him.

But now all the lords are frowning, how could they care about the life and death of the little emperor.

Even the queen pulled him from the ground with an annoyed look.

"Shut up! Don't cry!"

Listening to the empress's scolding, the little emperor was stunned for an instant, and he had forgotten to cry. He had never seen a mother like this.

For a while, the cry was louder.

In this way, the night passed amidst the cries of the imperial emperor.

The early morning of April 3rd, 27th year of the Empire.

The upstarts who hadn't slept all night boarded the wall, frowning and looking at the enemy army below the wall.

At this time, Rainer's army was out of action, and did not immediately open its position to attack the city.

However, anyone who saw the twenty wells standing outside would never think that the enemy was not planning to attack the city.

Rainer was dressed in a magnificent iron armor. The Earl of Pushtown and the Earl of Cholar followed him. The vassals and royal lords of Rainer slowly approached the walls of the imperial capital behind him.

Lena stopped outside the shooting range of the bow and arrow, and shouted loudly: "Where is Earl Redmara! Northern Grand Duke Lena Moreland asks you to come out and answer!"

In an instant, Rainer seemed to be the center of the whole world.

There was a warm current flowing through Lena's body, and this kind of eye-catching feeling was really intoxicating.

After a while, Count Redmara appeared on the wall.

He looked at the familiar figures below, couldn't help taking a deep breath, and shouted, "I'm Count Redmara! I don't know what it is for Grand Duke Rainer to bring the army to the emperor!"

The voices of both sides were spread by the soldiers one by one, and everyone knew that his Grand Duke was in front of him to talk to the enemy.

"Earl Redmara! I don't intend to say anything to you~lightnovelpub.net~ I know what you have done!"

"And the Morland members behind me and I are very dissatisfied with the tyranny of the queen and the upstarts! You hijacked His Majesty the emperor for your own personal gain and violated the interests of the nobles! The dignity of the Morland family was trampled under your feet at will !"

"What I want to tell you today is that you must hand over that damn, ill-intentioned queen!"

"as well as……"

Rainer recites a string of names of the upstarts, but not all of them. This is also one of his ways to differentiate the upstarts.

Of course, Reiner doesn't have much hope for the success of this approach. It's always good to be nauseous.

"As long as you hand over these people and return the rights to the noble, supreme son of Emperor Kafet, the current emperor, we will immediately lead the army back to the territory!"

Leiner specifically emphasized the identity of the little emperor's "son" of Emperor Kafet, and prepared for the following actions.
