Black Iron Crown

Chapter 679: Be close to each other

With the advancement of Leiner's army and your King Sartley was captured, the army of the entire Kingdom of Bukerdern was defeated in an instant.

   Even the grassroots officers who are responsible for restraining the soldiers are running around with their subordinates in panic, hoping to find a way out for themselves.

  Of course, there are some people who value glory rather than retreat. They not only have to fight the enemy to the death, but they also restrict their comrades from fleeing.

   But it’s a pity that these noble people will end up either being killed by Lena’s soldiers or being cut off by their comrades in arms. To block escape is to kill them. At the critical moment, who cares about your high morality or not.

   "Chasing for ten kilometers, then withdraw!" Rainer said flatly.

   King Sartley has been captured at this time, so that even if the enemy forces survive more people, it will have no effect on the situation.

   Without the backbone of King Sartley, and not to mention the soldiers under his command, even his vassals would probably fall into internal strife without a leader. It would be impossible to start another war.

The soldiers were allowed to pursue ten kilometers in order to give him a chance of meritorious service. Because the enemy collapsed too quickly, and the combat effectiveness of the Merland sergeants in the front row was too strong, the soldiers behind were simply Did not get the opportunity to do meritorious service.

   Let them chase the enemy, and it is good to be able to get a few heads back to receive the reward, which is of great help in ensuring the morale and morale of the army.

The chase on the battlefield is very chaotic, but the army of the Kingdom of Bukerdern, who has lost the courage to fight, has no ability to resist at all, and often seven or eight soldiers of the Northern Army can chase a dozen or even a few. Ten troops from the Kingdom of Buckden ran.

The pursuit battle is continuing. Reiner’s soldiers have been chasing down the enemy in groups of three or five. Before them, there are military merits and rewards. Tirehan even did not get Reiner’s order. So he sent his light cavalry out to chase the enemy.

   Klim was covered in blood, panting and supporting the ground with a long sword. In the previous battle, he consumed too much energy, and now he can only let his soldiers chase the enemy.

  He is thirty-nine years old this year. He was twenty-seven years old when he first followed Leiner. He served under Leiner for eight years, and made many meritorious services. Only then did he get the title of baron.

   He was also very happy to have achieved such a victory. For Rainer, he gave his youth time. Klim hoped that his emperor could go further and win all battles.

  At this time, the enemy army had already run across the mountains and plains, and Sir Andrew and the lords of the south brought King Sartley and some lords around him to Lena's face.

  Sir Andrew hesitated a little while looking at the obviously overstepped crown on Rainer's helmet.

  Rainer was taken aback for a moment, and then he reacted, pointing to the crown on his head and said: "I am now the orthodox emperor of the Redka Empire, and the pseudo-emperor Carter has been put on the gallows by me!"

Rainer smiled and said to Sir Andrew that he had signed a lot of unequal treaties when he was married to Frank before. In exchange for Rainer's asylum, Earl Crick sent a lot of supplies to the poor at the time. In the north, Sir Andrew had met Rainer under such circumstances.

   Later, as the Northern Territory became richer, and the relationship between Rainer and Frank became more harmonious and close, he also assisted Earl Crick with a lot of military supplies, and the relationship between the two sides was close.

   Sir Andrew and the lords beside him glanced at each other, and everyone saw shock from the eyes of the others.

   These lords didn’t know what to say for a while, but Sir Andrew took the lead.

   He knelt on one knee and said, "Since you are the emperor of the empire, as a courtier, I should swear allegiance to you and do my best to safeguard your rule for the inevitable! Your enemy is my enemy!"

   Sir Andrew's behavior shocked everyone, and Rainer didn't react at first.

Later, he smiled and drew out the saber from his waist, placed it on Sir Andrew's annoying shoulder and struck it three times: "I accept your allegiance, and I will provide shelter for you and your family and ensure your safety! "

   The other lords looked at it and couldn't help but make a decision.

   At its root, these lords are willing to come here to help Rainer fight, and more depends on the benefits that Rainer promised and the face of Earl Crick.

   If they really make them loyal to Lena on the spot, then they really have to think about it.

   You need to know that although Lehner has won a big victory now, the western countries are all watching from the outside. If you are loyal to Lehner now, then I am afraid that you will also be included in the attack range of that group of people.

   So, only five of these thoughtful lords swear allegiance to Lena, and all the others plan to observe and make a decision.

  Rainer struck the shoulders of these five people with a long sword three times. After confirming the identity of the emperor and minister, his gaze at the others became slightly subtle.

   The expressions of these people became more and more embarrassed under Leiner's gaze, but Leiner laughed like a spring breeze at this moment.

"Sir Andrew is my brother-in-law, and his family and I have a close relationship ~ lightnovelpub.net~ I can understand the idea that you are unwilling to face the Western Allied Forces with me. I do not force you to follow I stand together, after all, this is just a war of the imperial royal family!"

   The lords mentioned in these words are even more embarrassed. They are vassals of the empire. Since the little emperor is dead, they are vassals of Leiner in name. Leiner's words made them very embarrassed.

   Rainer didn't care after saying this, and even ignored them. Instead, he had a cordial conversation with Sir Andrew and the five other vassals.

   Now, this group of lords don’t know what to do. They have to endure the neglect when they stay here, and they have nowhere to go when they leave here. The South Realm is too far away from here. They want to get some supplies from Rainer.

  Leiner didn't care about them, and the others didn't dare to stand up and talk with them on their behalf, so these lords could only stand still, with a burning feeling on their faces.

   Soon, Rainer also started talking with these lords. He didn't intend to offend this group of people completely. He just did it just to show the difference between closeness and closeness.

   The group of people led the followers to the camp mightily. After Rainer arranged a tent for each of them, only Sir Andrew was left in his own big tent.

   "Why didn't my dear father-in-law come?" After the two settled down, Rainer said first.

   "Oh, my father and I asked to bring someone by myself. My father is getting older. I don't want him to keep running!"
