Black Iron Crown

Chapter 504: bad news

The fighting power of the Golden Lion Guard is very terrifying, at least in the foot battle, they are almost the same as the Scarlet Griffin Rider, which has to make Lena admire the founder of the Loric Empire, William the Great.

The Golden Lion Guards swept the enemy with a one-handed battle axe, and the battle became **** for a while, countless internal organs, brains, and broken arms were thrown on the wall, and flesh and blood flew across the wall.

The war was so cruel, and this situation continued until the knights armed with heavy weapons reached the wall.

The Golden Lion Guards fought and retreated, gradually evacuating to the top of the plank, and the defenders in the city did not pursue them. They had long been used to such behavior. If they continued to pursue them, they would not know how many people would be lost.

After more than three months of siege, there were only less than 4,000 defenders left in the city. More than 2,000 defenders were either killed or injured, unable to continue fighting.

They can only maintain the number of defenders as much as possible. It is not worthwhile to lose too many people for a time.

After the Golden Lion Guards left the city wall, these defenders immediately hid behind the battlements at a very fast speed.

They know that when such a siege is over, a violent rain of arrows will follow.

Fortunately, Rainer's preparations were very sufficient, and more than half of the more than 100,000 arrows produced by the residents of the north were still left.

Sure enough, the sharp sound of breaking through the air penetrated into their eardrums, and the sound of arrows hitting the city wall was endless, and occasionally someone screamed with arrows.

The archer on the arrow tower fought back weakly, but was followed by a ruthless and indiscriminate bombardment.

Time just passed by one minute and one second, life was disappearing every day, the siege continued all the time, and the royal lords were not in a hurry. Their logistics was very sufficient, and the siege here seemed to be on vacation, and It makes no difference to live in a castle.

On the contrary, the cold and humid castle is not as comfortable as here.

The news of the invasion of the West is already known, but the royal lords didn't want to care about it. They just wanted to send the **** queen and upstarts to the gallows to restore the glory of the Merland family.

The messenger from Fort Creek rushed northward without stopping, and finally arrived near the imperial capital on July 12, 21st year of the empire.

The blue-bottomed Mochizuki emblem explained their identities, and they successfully entered the camp of the siege army.

Rainer met them in his tent.

After reading the letter sent to him by Earl Crick, Rainer looked more and more hit, and another external enemy came, and the enemy's target was himself.

After Rainer sent away the messenger, he couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

He allowed the messengers of the Western Realm to enter the emperor to let the lords of the Western Realm understand that the capital was unable to protect himself. He had planned to ascend the throne after breaking the capital, and then led the neutral lords on the west to rescue the Western Realm and enhance his prestige. And the loyalty of the lords.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. The Kingdom of Buckden in the south had invaded and passed through at this time, and it directly stated that he was here to defend the queen, and Rainer could not ignore their arrival at all.

If Rainer launches a fierce attack on the imperial capital immediately, he can indeed conquer the Kingdom of Bukden before the arrival of the kingdom, but this means that he will also face the southern Fort Bukden while fighting against the kingdom of Bazaran.

Reiner probably won't be able to win the battle against these two countries at the same time.

After considering this, Lena couldn't help but feel a little irritable. He has already reached this point. He only needs to go one step further to become the supreme emperor and be worshipped by all the Redkars.

However, at this time, he could only give up this handy position, otherwise, even if he was strong, he would have no choice but to defeat under the attack of two countries.

The two thoughts of attacking the imperial capital and retreating flashed back and forth in his mind like this.

After thinking for a long time, Rainer reluctantly admitted that retreat was indeed his best choice.

As long as he retreats, it will be a bright future for so long. After returning to the north, he can stand firmly.

The army of the Kingdom of Bukerdern could never be able to use the power of love to bring the army to the empire from thousands of miles away, and it will inevitably get some benefits.

In this way, the queen and the others have to give something to this group of people, and it is obvious that the upstarts and queens do not want to see the money for the army of the Kingdom of Bukerdern to enter the empire in vain.

They had only two options, one was to let the army of the Kingdom of Bukerdern expedition to the north, and the reason was naturally that they would not conquer the ministers.

Another option is to march to the west to support the lords in the west.

This also gave Reiner a chance to recuperate. Reiner didn’t believe how long the people from the Kingdom of Bukerdern could stay in the imperial capital. Even if Reiner was afraid of the siege of the two kingdoms, he would wait four or five years later. The strength of the Northern Territory will once again be greatly increased.

Even if four or five years are not enough, Leiner is only 22 years old now. He waited for the last ten or twenty years, and it is conceivable how the power of the North will expand.

When the time comes, it will not be difficult for the army to directly suppress the situation and push everything down.

After thinking about this, Lena couldn't help but a wry smile appeared on his face.

Although I understand the truth, it is still very uncomfortable to give up this handy throne.

In the past, Reiner didn’t think this throne was too attractive to him, even when he first came to this world to become a baron, he thought so, thinking about being a little country baron to spend his life leisurely. .

But when he really embarked on the road of hegemony, after he tasted the taste of power, he began to want to stop.

He finally understood why Yuan Shu among the Three Kingdoms in the previous life should openly proclaim the emperor under such circumstances.

Mastering enormous power, that feeling is what every man wants to try, and the emperor's throne is undoubtedly the pinnacle of power.

Shaking his head helplessly, he summoned his vassals and the royal lords to explain the situation~lightnovelpub.net~ These lords were also silent, and they knew very well that if the enemy was just the capital or If it was the Kingdom of Bazaran, they could barely be certain.

But now facing the offensive of the two countries, they must face a situation of fighting on two fronts. They do not see the hope of their own victory.

"Then...we now?"

The atmosphere in the tent was very low, and Earl Cholar first stood up and asked Rainer.

"Retreat, we have no choice!" Rainer said helplessly.

"But, we came here all the way and spent so many resources, did we just go back empty-handed like this?"

The meaning of war is always profit, and they have already lost money for this reason, and they really don't want to leave like this.

"Of course we can't leave like this, we have to let that **** queen shed some blood!" Rainer said viciously.
