Black Iron Crown

Chapter 646: no entry

King Sartley was very enthusiastic about this pagan helper, and approved a large amount of supplies to reward these soldiers from afar.

  

   He is full of confidence in the bravery of this group of soldiers. In the past few years, he has reformed the domestic army, and he has also absorbed a lot of experience from the Karda Sultanate and successfully improved the combat effectiveness of the domestic army.

  

   The soldiers of the Karda Sultanate ate the rich food and mellow wine of the Kingdom of Bukerdern, and reveled in their makeshift camp.

  

   And the vassals of King Sartley also brought their troops to Pimun City one after another.

  

  Because of the empire’s preferential tariff policy, they have also benefited a lot. In addition, the king also said that the empire’s overweight is very attractive, so they will naturally not stand idly by.

  

   What's more, the military reforms in the past few years have also made them full of confidence in their military in their hearts, and they can't wait to verify the results of their efforts on the battlefield.

  

   With one heart and one mind, 30,000 troops gathered outside the city of Piment. For a time, there were flags and knives and guns, the neighing of war horses and the clashing of armors.

  

   The Kingdom of Bukerdern, as always, has almost no established cavalry, but the army of the Karda Sultanate has strong cavalry.

  

   At this time, the army of the Kingdom of Bukerdern seems to have been reborn, and it will no longer be as lazy and weak as it was when fighting the Kingdom of Bazaran a few years ago.

  

   After King Sartley prepared everything, he waved his hand and announced his departure immediately.

  

  The army rushed to the northern border mightily, preparing to cross the border of the empire and march north.

  

   Count Lorans stood on the wall with a solemn expression, holding on to the battlements, his eyes full of worry when he looked into the distance.

  

  The previous war with Rainer had caused him to suffer, and the elite army accumulated at the beginning was basically consumed cleanly.

  

  Although he has reorganized the standing army in recent years, it is not the army that has been trained for several years and has been tempered by war. There is no iron armor at all, and it is not as strong as a few years ago.

  

   As early as when the army of the Kingdom of Buckeden crossed the border, he knew that although they did not attack the vassals of the empire along the way, they still brought tremendous pressure to the Earl of Lorens.

  

   This is an army of thirty thousand!

  

   Even when the southern coalition rebelled against the empire, they could not form so many regular troops.

  

   How does this make him not surprised? How not to be afraid?

  

  Earl Lorens, who has fought frontal against the northern army several times, finally felt the fear and anxiety that he had originally at this moment.

  

   He gritted his teeth and said nothing. He didn't dare to lead the army to refuse the opponent to enter his territory, so he could only pray in his heart for the other party to be more well-behaved.

  

  His prayer seemed to have been heard by the Holy Father, and the army of the Kingdom of Bukerdern did not attack the city or even plundered his territory.

  

   King Sartley didn't have the leisurely heart to plunder here, even if he wanted to plunder, it would be okay on the return journey.

  

  The extra money that the little emperor offered was far more important than plundering here. He didn't have the ability to destroy the empire and replace it, so keeping the position of the little emperor became the best way to gain benefits.

  

   Since the situation in the imperial capital is so urgent, he can't waste time on the road even more, saving the little emperor is serious.

  

  Eighty kilometers south of Rollsberg, a group of lightly armed cavalry was patrolling around. When they heard the surging march, they immediately became vigilant.

  

   When they saw the snake-wrapped white rose flag, they immediately beat their horses and left here quickly.

  

   They want to inform their master as soon as possible that the enemy has arrived.

  

   When the Baron of Rollesberg received the news, he immediately dismissed all his citizens and serfs, went to various territories in the north to save their lives, and then quickly dispatched a messenger to notify everyone of the news.

  

   Under the lifeless rush of the messenger, these lords finally rushed to Rollesburg with their army one after another.

  

   Castle Creek, in the study of Earl Creek, the blazing fire in the fireplace made the entire study dry and warm.

  

   "Let me go! Father!" Sir Andrew stood in front of Earl Creek, staring directly at him, and said firmly.

  

   After the two looked at each other for a while, Earl Crick nodded, his expression seemed relieved, and said, "Be careful!"

  

   Sir Andrew nodded heavily, and then strode out of the study room. The sunlight outside came in, making his figure so golden and radiant at this moment.

  

   Sir Andrew assembled all the knights in the territory, with a total of 80 people. In addition, there are more than 1,500 directly under the elite army, plus the army of vassals, the strength of the army has reached nearly 3,000.

  

   This is already one of the best in the rank of earl. Without the financial resources brought by developed business and the support given by Rainer, Fort Creek would certainly not be able to support such a large standing army.

  

   When all the lords were assembled in Roosevelt, it was only three days after they discovered the army of the Kingdom of Buckden.

  

   A total of two earls and twelve barons’ armies were concentrated in this castle, and Roolsburg was instantly overcrowded.

  

Excluding the nearly 3,000 troops of Fort Creek, the earl mobilized more than 1,200 men. Adding the troops of the other twelve barons, the total is more than 2,400 men. Count Rick’s army is guarded by five thousand people in this castle.

  

   All the lords walked in a hurry and did not carry enough food, but fortunately, the city of Rollesberg had enough food stocks, and even five thousand troops could eat for a year.

  

   Anyway, their goal is only to stick to it for four months, and the big deal will be to let the army of the Kingdom of Bukteden leave.

  

   "What are you talking about! The people in front forbid us to approach?" King Sartley was furious after hearing the report from the front.

  

   "Yes, your Majesty, we just approached the castle, but we were suddenly attacked by the cavalry. After the sneak attack, they immediately withdrew to the castle. I'm afraid we won't be able to pass here as smoothly as before!"

  

   An officer in the front came in front of King Sartly himself, and it was his immediate standing army that was raided.

  

   "Damn it! Do they want to fight me!" King Sartley gritted his teeth, his teeth itchy with hatred.

  

   "Let them know the cost of going against me!" King Sartley said fiercely: "Prepare to attack the city! I will hang everyone inside!"

  

   King Sartley’s orders were carried out, and his soldiers immediately began to cut down trees and make simple ladders.

  

   No one thinks how much complicated siege equipment and time are needed to attack such a success or failure that is neither towering nor dangerous.

  

   But, to everyone's surprise, their attack was stubbornly repelled. There were hundreds of defenders on the wall, and the attacking soldiers were easily beaten back.

  

   hadn't even climbed up the city wall through the ladder. They just took the ladder to approach, and they were caught off guard by the archers behind the tower and battlements.
