Black Iron Crown

Chapter 566: Northern Power Report

"Hahaha, it really is a big bear, it seems I should have a new bear skin as a carpet, hahahaha!"

  Earl Cod's mood is extremely cheerful, he is a calm person on weekdays, at least Rainer rarely sees him so excited.

   sipped the wine in the glass, it was the first time he did such an unrestrained move, and he was very happy.

   No matter what time and place, the love of parents for their children is always the purest. As a continuation of their own lives, to be able to see their children become better is the biggest dream of all parents.

   And Earl Cod has clearly achieved this. For the aristocratic class, especially for the aristocrats of the North, bravery is the most important ability of a person.

   The nobles today are not like the France of Reiner’s previous life. They gathered in the capital for aristocratic politics because of the luxury of the Palace of Versailles. They are not like the British parliamentarians in London.

   Even they are very different from the Junker nobles in Germany. Although the Junkers are military nobles, most of them are rising stars, mostly the children of knights who have no land.

   later entered the military service in the German II era, and completely died out during the Second World War.

   The aristocracy in the north is different from the Junker aristocracy who has lasted for nearly four hundred years. They are true and representative aristocrats of the Dark Age. They have great autonomy, including military power, financial power, and judicial power.

   Except for the military service and annuity obligations to Reiner, even Reiner must not interfere in their internal affairs.

  As a military nobleman, their most important quality is bravery and good fighting ability. Only in this way can they maintain their combat effectiveness in the army and make all soldiers worship and fear themselves, so as to use military power to guarantee their rights.

   Even if the productivity of the North is getting higher and higher now, one earl of Earl Cod can easily support six hundred regular troops, but after all, the role of force still exists.

   After receiving a lot of compliments, Rumbarre was assisted from the horse and walked off. At this time, he has recovered well. Although his legs still can't use strength, he at least feels conscious.

   kicked his legs under the support of his resignation, and sat cross-legged in front of a low table.

   The time gradually came to the evening, and the nobles who entered the jungle returned to the camp one after another, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

   They brought their prey and close friends to brag to each other, and at the same time said how brave they were in the forest, and how difficult it is to hit such prey.

   But when they saw the brown bear's body in the middle of the camp, they instantly stopped all bragging.

   No face! It's really shameless to continue blowing.

   It feels great to hunt a deer myself, and brag about it with others. Now that the giant brown bear corpse is there, who has the face to brag about his prey.

   The mutual flattery in the camp is over, but at the same time, the person who killed the bear has become the target of everyone's discussion.

   "Everyone! Let us respect the brave bear slayer, Sir Lombard!" Rainer raised his glass and stood up from the carpet, shouting to the nobles.

   Now the nobles are talking about it. Although Lombard was not an unknown person before this, everything actually came from his father, Earl Cod.

   Now, all the nobles knew who hunted this bear through Lena's mouth. They simply couldn't imagine how powerful force it would take to kill such a behemoth head-on.

   They never doubted whether Lombard used despicable means, because the two methods of frontal killing and using traps have completely different wound conditions.

  Once someone sees through, the fame and reputation will be buckled on the head. This is a matter of life rather than death for the nobles who value glory and fame, so no one doubts Lombard.

   "It is unimaginable how powerful it is to kill such a behemoth!"

   "Earl Cod has a good son..." Some people admired and a little bit sour about Lombard's record.

   Soon, under Rainer's order, the brown bear's skin was separated from its flesh, and a good bear skin was sent to Count Cod.

   And the remaining flesh and blood of this giant beast turned into a delicacy in the mouths of the nobles.

Reiner hasn’t eaten the bear paw less over the years, but he hasn’t tasted any delicacies. In short, for him, dishes lacking most condiments are not very tasty. Fortunately, he is not one. Picky eaters.

Eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas in their mouths, this campfire hunting party ended in the nobles' coveting. At noon the next day, the nobles woke up one after another from the tent and followed Lena back to Mikalon City. .

   After returning to the city of Mecalon, Ezehi and Sir Barragón, Earl Leyland, Earl Varas, and Logan and Earl Cod all gathered in Rainer's study and prepared to report to him.

   This was an order made by Rainer five months ago. He ordered his court officials to count his own power and the development of the territory, and then make a comprehensive report to Rainer.

   First, Sir Barragón gave a report to Rainer.

   He opened the file in his hand and scanned it roughly, and then began to report.

   "His Majesty, the following report is the construction situation in your territory as of August 20th, 32nd Year of the Empire!"

   "According to statistics, there are a total of five castles undertaking military tasks in your territory, and they are stuck in important positions. Two of them have reached the level of fortresses, namely Fort Moreland and Fort Twarin!"

   "In addition, there is only one large-scale commercial city with a resident population in the north plus a floating population of 100,000 ~ lightnovelpub.net~ that is the Mecalon City at our feet!"

   "And there are two with the floating population and the permanent population reaching 10,000, nine with less than 5,000, 14 with less than 3,000, and 25 with less than 1,000!"

In addition, you ordered the construction a long time ago, and the construction progress of the stone road that runs through every corner of the north has reached 85%, but because more vassals have joined your principality, we The construction period has to be extended again, and it is initially estimated that it will take five years to complete! "

   As the court minister in charge of the construction of the territory, he cannot be responsible for so much, but if he is asked to say everything, then Rainer's hearing is estimated to be over a month later.

   So after giving a general report, he gently put the papers in his hand on Rainer's desk.

   It was Logan who reported after him.

   What he needs to be responsible for is relatively simple, so he can report it quickly.

  He walked up and handed the documents directly to Reiner, and said: "Your Majesty, your spy intelligence organization currently has 1,235 staff, and the headquarters is in our city of Mecalon."

"We have branches in the five castles and market towns in the north. In addition, we have established a complete intelligence network within 30 kilometers of the imperial capital and its surrounding areas. There are also scattered intelligence personnel in other areas. Serve us!"
