Rainer made a decision, and the entire northern border began intensive preparations. Numerous materials were transported to Mekalong City. The main buildings in the castle were decorated with a lot of colored ribbons.

The royal lords were shocked after hearing the news that Rainer was about to become independent. Although they hadn't obeyed the imperial capital's orders for a long time, they were shocked when someone really declared independence. .

Rainer was not too hypocritical, but sent a letter to each of the royal lords, inviting them to join their own subordinates independently and become their own vassals.

By this time, Rainer's ambitions had already been revealed. Even the royal lords who had no political vision, they understood Rainer's thoughts.

Regarding Reiner's ambitions, these royal lords hesitated, after all, the little emperor was still sitting on the throne, not to mention that he was still the "natural son" of the old emperor.

Pulling the old emperor's son off the horse, everyone felt uncomfortable.

Had it not been for the Queen and Count Redmara's rebellious actions, if Rainer did such a move, it would be utterly rebellious. It is estimated that these royal lords would send troops to fight against Rainer.

But after all, what the imperial capital has done is too much, and the little emperor is still in the hands of the queen and Count Redmara. If this continues, the empire is likely to fall into a situation where it is impossible to recover. These lords hesitate, no Know whether to become a vassal of Rainer.

Therefore, except for a few people who were extremely dissatisfied with the imperial capital who expressed their allegiance to Leiner, each of these royal lords only said that they were willing to attend on the day Leiner was founded.

Rainer was not disappointed after receiving such a reply. He was very satisfied with a few people who directly supported him.

Anyway, it's still a long time. There are ways for Rainer to make the royal lords become his vassals. What's more, he and the group of people have many interests combined. Rainer believes that they will fall into his arms sooner or later.

At the same time, the squires and homesteaders in the central part of the empire who had their property taken away, after receiving Rainer's solicitation, brought their families to the North, hoping that the Great Duke of the North could accept himself and others.

Rainer naturally would not let go of any power that could be used. These people were loyal to the old emperor and the empire. Their fathers were all veterans who had fought, and their own combat power would naturally not be weak.

What's more, although Rainer is independent, no one can change the identity of his descendants of the Morland family. He just gave up his allegiance to the little emperor and the royal family.

The royal family made the empire angry, and they came to the north without any psychological pressure.

"All of you are the most loyal courtiers of the empire! What you did in the imperial capital is very gratifying to me, and at the same time, I feel very sad about your experience. Loyal like your fathers who have been loyal to the empire for their entire lives, but ended up like this. You will get enough courtesy with me!"

"The blood of your fathers will not flow in vain. You will get a lot of land and a rich life here. If you want, you can join my army to fight for me. Sooner or later, I will let those **** traitors pay for it. There is a price!"

"Willing to help you!" Almost all the people present were passionate young people. After being wronged in the Imperial Capital, and getting such treatment in the Northern Territory, the indignation and anger in the heart were naturally beyond the reach.

"We want to join your army! We will revenge ourselves!"

"Yes!" Rainer also shouted: "They will pay the price! I must seek justice!"

So soon, Leiner handed over a large amount of idle land to them. He had a full 300,000 mu of idle land in his hands, and there was simply not enough manpower to cultivate it.

Everyone throwing out 200 acres is nothing more than surrendering one third of the idle land.

Soon after they settled down their family, they quickly entered Rainer's army to prepare for service.

In fact, each of them has quite good physique. Although they are not as good as real knights, they are definitely much stronger than most soldiers. There are even some people who are literate and only need a little disciplinary training. Can be a group of excellent soldiers.

Even after only a few battles, they can become candidates for military officers, which makes Rainer very happy.

In a blink of an eye, time came to September 20th, 27th year of the Empire.

On this day, Mekalong City seemed quite lively.

The number of people in the city reached more than one hundred thousand people, and the city of Mecalon, which had been upgraded twice, was full.

Beginning on September 10, the number of people entering Mekalong City began to increase dramatically. After receiving this news, the wealthy civilians from the North rushed into the castle.

As the saying goes, one knows the etiquette of the sufficiency. After filling up the stomach, people will have a higher level of pursuit and thinking. This is the case for the residents of the north.

They began to think about their family, country, and the world, and at the same time they gradually gained a sense of honor under the brainwashing of the village officials.

When His Majesty hits the growth, they will feel happy and honored. If someone offends His Majesty, they will feel angry.

Today is the Independence Day of the Grand Duchy, and they naturally do not want to miss this important day.

What's more, in this era of lack of entertainment, being able to participate in such a grand ceremony is also a good pastime.

The huge flow of people also brought huge business opportunities. Countless businessmen spotted the market in Mecalon City and hurriedly rushed into the castle with their own products to make a big profit.

The taverns in the city return to the hotel. These days, it can be said that they have made a lot of money. Countless people with some spare money are almost bursting their rooms. Even the citizens are taking advantage of this time. Make a small profit for a temporary hotel.

Since the four largest taverns in Mecalon are all owned by Lena, Lena took advantage of this time to sell them at a discount, just to win a prize.

The rest of the merchants are also mostly like this, and the commercial activities in the city are extremely frequent for a time.

"Cheers to the great Grand Duke!"

"cheers!"

In the tavern~lightnovelpub.net~ a somewhat drunk soldier raised his glass and stood on the table, and shouted loudly.

Today, it was his turn to take a vacation. He who took a vacation on Independence Day aroused the envy and hatred of many comrades in arms.

As the ceremony of proclaiming independence was getting closer, tens of thousands of people poured into the central square of Mecalon City.

This square is very large. It is where Rainer gathers troops and announces things, but even so, tens of thousands of people gather here and it seems very crowded. Rainer has to deploy troops here to maintain order.

If so many people do not maintain good order, it is easy to get stampede.

The crowded square was very crowded, and everyone looked forward to the high platform that had been built for a long time, waiting for Rainer to appear.
