Black Iron Crown

Chapter 668: Dangerous temptation

   The residents of the Northern Territory don’t just want to know the rewards because they love Dai Lainer, but part of the reason is because once Lainer is defeated, the entire northern territory will be plunged into a beacon of smoke.

  The enemy’s army commander drove straight in and would inevitably dismantle Leiner’s rule in the north. Their current good days are all based on Leiner. Once Leiner’s regime ceases to exist, they will all become serfs.

   If there is no such reason, it is estimated that the residents of these petitions will be much less.

   However, as the saying goes, one knows the etiquette when one is full, and one knows honor and disgrace when one has enough food and clothing. Residents with a worry-free life do not need to run around every day to survive and fill their stomachs, which enriches their spiritual world.

The requirements for glory and quality are even higher. Fighting to protect their masters is a kind of glory, not to mention that they believe that even if they die, as long as His Majesty can tide over the difficulties, then their families can do it. Continue to live a happy life, the Grand Duke will not lose their pensions.

As for young people and young people, their idea is simpler. To sacrifice their lives for the lord is the same glory as in the novel. It is often heard that the knight shed the last drop of blood in order to protect his lord is supreme. Although they are not knights, every young boy has a restless heart.

  Earl Cod couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw such a fierce scene. He really didn't know what to do. It stands to reason that these residents supported their master so much, and Earl Cod was very happy.

   However, it is never him who really is in charge of the Northern Territory. He has sufficient rights as a palace magistrate, but on such a major matter, he cannot make a decision on his own.

  When Rainer is there, he must discuss with Rainer, and finally follow Rainer's order.

   Now that Rainer is not here, Frank is the owner of this land as his legal wife, and Earl Cod must seek her advice.

   Therefore, Earl Cod yelled again: "Quiet everyone! Be quiet!"

   After the Earl Cod shouted for a while, they finally kept quiet, and set their eyes on him to listen to what he said.

  Earl Corde said loudly: "I understand your thoughts! But I am not in charge of this matter! Now I am going to report to the Grand Duchess, and let her make the final decision!"

  Speaking, Earl Cod turned around and walked towards the main castle.

   He hurriedly came to Frant's room, and after knocking on the door to get permission to enter, he pushed the door and walked in.

   "Why is it so fast?" Frank looked at Earl Cod and said, "It seems that you haven't solved this matter!" She pointed to the window and motioned to Earl Cod to listen to the voice.

   "This is your Majesty. The citizens in the Imperial City, like the residents outside the city, hope to dedicate their loyalty to His Majesty the Grand Duke. They are too eager. I am worried that if they refuse, there will be some riots!"

  Earl Cod relayed the words of the old squire to Frank, and explained how the citizens would like to purchase the goods.

"You mean, they will help Reiner fight at the cost of their lives? You have to know that people who have not undergone training and good armed forces will not bring much help on the battlefield. It is estimated that there are not too many mobs in the country’s army. Letting them into the army may cause inconvenience to Rainer!"

"That's true, my Majesty, but maybe we can issue some weapons to these residents, and let them go to the battlefield to help your Majesty the Grand Duke fight!" The Earl Cod has been moved by the old squire, and he is still trying to persuade The ruler of Frank.

   "It is not a wise choice to equip the residents with a lot of armor and weapons!" Frank looked at the expression of Earl Cod slightly subtle.

   "Yes, your Majesty, I understand this!"

  Although the northern border is rich in steel, Reiner’s control of steel is actually very strict.

When buying iron pots and kitchen knives, everyone must show their own certificates, that is, the seals of their village chief or their superiors, and then they can bring these seals to the various steel supply points opened by Reiner. Use money or some kind of equivalent goods in exchange for kitchen knives, iron pots, or farm tools made of steel.

The blacksmiths scattered in various regions also have to undergo identity verification. Reiner officially confirmed that his identity is indeed reliable and that there will be no outflow of steel. Only in this way will they be given a certain amount of proof of purchase. You can only get the number stated on the voucher for one purchase.

   The main reason for this was to worry that steel would flow into the empire and let the little emperor form an army with iron armor. But now that Rainer has become the emperor, there is no such worry.

  Flat is worried that the civilians have a large amount of iron armor and weapons to set off a rebellion. She has seen such tragedies several times in her childhood and girlhood in the South.

Earl Cod was silent for a while, and then said: "But I believe that there will be no accidents in the North. They love His Majesty, and His Majesty also loves them. The people have never had a reason for rebellion, not to mention that we can monitor steel. The amount will be recovered after the war is over!"

  Frant remained unmoved, she squinted her eyes and looked at Earl Cod without saying a word.

   I have to say that Frante has always been a strong woman. Maybe she never participated in government affairs in front of Reiner, but when she sits in this territory, she must consider her husband and son.

Photographed in Frant's momentum, Earl Cod lowered his head slightly and did not dare to look directly at her, but still said: "You know, your Majesty is facing a great crisis on the front line, even if our Northern Army is the number one in the world. A strong army, but the coalition forces of the western countries have more than 70,000 people. Even the strongest army ~lightnovelpub.net~ may not be able to deal with so many enemies!"

   "Presumably... you don't want your husband to have any accidents on the battlefield..." Earl Cod lowered his head completely after saying this, and gave the decision-making power to Frank, even if it should have been.

   A moment later, Frant replied: "Well, Earl Cod, you have convinced me that I allow the residents to be armed!"

  Earl Corde was overjoyed when he heard the words: "A wise decision, your majesty!"

  Flatt went on to say: "But there is one thing. I want these residents to pay for these iron armors. People who can't afford iron armors don't need to go to the battlefield. In addition, people who have been trained in militia are preferred!"

   "But..." Earl Cod said inexplicably, "These residents still have to fight for His Majesty the Grand Duke, do they have to pay for it themselves?"

Frante said lightly: "That's right, but the iron armor in the north is not expensive. I'm willing to sell them at the cost. If I don't even want to pay, why should I believe that they are willing to donate to Reiner? What about life?"

   For the sake of safety, Frank decided to conduct a trial. Anyway, he didn't suffer. Although the battle on the front line was fierce, it would hurt him if he sent someone with unpredictable minds to his husband's army.
