In this battle, the Kingdom of Bukerdern paid the price of more than 300 soldiers and more than 20 knights who died on the wall.

However, the defenders of the Bazaran Kingdom lost less than two hundred men.

The advantages brought by the city wall are evident.

While the coalition forces were recuperating under the city, the defenders inside the castle opened the gates and sent ten cavalry to raid the positions of Jinglan and the ballista.

Although the ten cavalrymen were finally strangled by angry soldiers, they caused the loss of three wells and one ballista to the coalition forces.

The wooden wells and ballistas did not do any arson measures at all, and the raging fire ruthlessly swallowed them.

Although the soldiers extinguished the fire at an extremely fast speed, the main parts were still burned by the flames and could not be repaired and used.

King Sartri gave the order to attack the city again in a rage, and the whole army once again set up a battle under the city of Rolburg and prepared to attack the city.

But this time, the defenders of the Bazaran Kingdom had already figured out the enemy's combat effectiveness and no longer feared the coalition forces.

Although there are indeed some people in the coalition that are very good at fighting, most of them are cowardly lambs. They have excellent equipment without the courage to fight hard.

More than three hundred sets of sophisticated iron armor were left on the wall, allowing the garrison of the Kingdom of Bazaran to be strengthened again.

At the same time, the Great Duchy of the North became independent, and the news that the royal lords collectively invested in Renner's vassals spread through the flow of merchants to all parts of the empire.

In the imperial capital, the queen was watching the emperor's teacher teaching the little emperor's etiquette.

A servant hurried into the room and told the queen the news.

"What?" The queen frowned tightly and lost her voice.

Seeing that she caught the attention of the little emperor and his teacher, the queen immediately covered her mouth and said, "Go on, I'll go out first!"

The queen hurriedly left the little emperor's room, and said to the servant solemnly: "Is what you just said is true?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I just sent a message for you. It was Sir Merron who told me to convey to him. You should ask him, and don't dare to tell the truth!"

"Call me Sir Meron!" the queen said eagerly.

After a while, Sir Mellen came to the queen.

Before Sir Mellen's salute, the queen asked: "Is your news true? Grand Duke Rainer is really independent?"

"Yes, your majesty, our spies in the northern territory personally returned to the emperor and told me the news. Grand Duke Rainer has announced that he has given up his allegiance to the emperor, and all the lords of the imperial family are all loyal to him!"

Sir Mellen answered truthfully.

After hearing Sir Mellen's affirmative answer, the queen sat on the chair with a blank butt.

"Damn! Damn! They all deserve to die!" The queen banged on the table hysterically and shouted angrily.

The queen knew what the consequences would be if the royal lord gave up his allegiance to the emperor. That would greatly reduce the royal family’s power to rule the empire. After all, this is the empire established by the Merland family and does not mean that the entire empire is Private property of the emperor.

And the members of the Molande family giving up allegiance to the emperor will undoubtedly make others doubt whether this empire still belongs to the Molande family?

Sir Mellon bowed his head and stood by and dared not speak. A woman was angry but never made sense. He didn't want to touch the queen's mold at this time.

After a while, the queen finished venting, supporting her forehead with her hand, and slowly said: "Send me a condemnation to all the renegade lords and order them to give up that unwise choice, otherwise they will inevitably pay the price, remember, The point is to condemn their betrayal!"

The queen is very clear that her condemnation will not have any effect, but at least the other party's behavior must be characterized as a rebellion, so that the royal family can continue to be in a dominant position.

Sir Mellen’s actions are still very fast. Their intelligence department also assumes the function of manipulating public opinion, and this intelligence department does not have so many nobles in it. Therefore, the statement that the behavior of the northern royal lords is a rebellion will soon follow. It began to spread in the imperial capital.

However, such rumors cannot offset the negative impact of the independence of the Grand Duchy of the North.

The imperial capital is not without discerning people, more and more weird remarks flood the imperial capital.

Including the surroundings of the imperial capital, the squires who had been suppressed before, expressed their support after hearing the news, and at the same time denounced that the current royal family has become the puppet of the upstart and the Earl of Redmara.

Not only that, more and more aristocrats whose interests have been harmed because the royal family favors the upstarts have begun to turn their hearts to the north, hoping that the royal lords can regain power.

Those who are even more exaggerated even sold their property near the imperial capital and moved their family with their wealth to the independent country of the Grand Duchy of the North.

Reiner was very satisfied with this series of events. In the study, he watched the files handed in by the people below and the information handed in by Logan, the smile on his face did not stop.

From part of the squires in the imperial capital to the north, and then to the nobility of the nobility in the north, or the imperial family becoming more unpopular, all these news can make Rainer very happy.

The royal lords are also busy laughing at their newly acquired territories, where they can establish effective rule and collect taxes.

And Rainer doesn't have much interest in territories for the time being, and if he can get him, he will not resist, but if he has to spend a price to get the territory, he thinks it is not worth it.

His current territory is still vast and sparsely populated. Although it has grown from 170,000 to 250,000 in six years, the gap in the number of people is still too big.

Even if Reiner has been encouraging childbirth and giving subsidies and rewards for giving birth smoothly, it will be at least fifteen years after he wants to see the effect.

For example, Reiner received the hero mother some time ago.

Two of his sons served in Reiner’s army. She has already given birth to fifteen children in her thirties, and only four of them died~lightnovelpub.net~ This is a very high survival rate. Rate, and even more rare than this survival rate is the number of births of this mother.

Having fifteen children means that she will get pregnant and give birth almost every year after she gets married.

For such a heroic mother, Reiner naturally did not hesitate to reward.

Setting up a positive model can effectively encourage fertility.

So Lena Dang even rewarded the woman with a gold coin, thanked her for her contribution to the territory and her family, and selected one of his eleven surviving children under the age of eight. The child is admitted to the castle and canonized as a knight after training.

The news spread across the entire Northern Territory at an extremely fast speed under Lena's intention. For a time, the entire Northern Territory set off a more fanatical childbirth movement than before.

Of course, this craze is not without its sequelae.

The sequelae is that in this winter, all the men in the northern territory are so a little bit empty...
