Black Iron Crown

Chapter 683: Pope Fox

After the Northern Territory Army entered the imperial capital, Qiu did not commit any crimes. Although these militiamen had not undergone too much training, they did not dare to violate the military law set by Rainer under the constraints of the old officers.

   "My dear uncle, my relatives are always more credible at the critical moment!" Rainer stepped up and gave Earl Cod a big hug.

  Earl Cod has many gray hairs on his head. Even Rainer is twenty-eight years old. Twelve years later, Earl Cod is nearly fifty years old, but he is still Rainer's right-hand man.

   "All this is the idea of ​​the Grand Duchess..." Earl Cod said: "You have a good wife and a group of good subjects. They will help you fight your enemies at all costs!"

   "Oh?" Rainer raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Why do you say that?"

  He motioned to Earl Cod to sit down, and then sat down in the chair himself.

"Not all of these soldiers were mobilized by Her Majesty the Queen. In fact, for the sake of stability and your safety, Her Majesty has carried out strict screening. Only the least brave, the most loyal, and the most innocent family can enter the army to help. You fight, and there are only about five thousand such people!"

"However, when the news that you are facing a powerful enemy spread, the residents of the Northern Territory asked to enlist in the army to help you fight. Her Majesty the Queen ordered them to spend money from Buy iron armor from Mecaron’s arsenal!"

   "All the 20,000 people are willing to spend five silver coins to fight for you, your loyal subjects! Your majesty, your grace makes them back!"

   After hearing the words of Earl Cod, Rainer's expression became very wonderful, he was relieved and full of pride.

   I would like to ask, is there another monarch in the world who can help his master defeat the enemy even if he pays his own money. This is the credit of his daily benevolent governance.

   The people are not fools. They know who is good to them. Although these people are more susceptible to being deceived and doing things that are not conducive to Rainer's rule, at least for now, they absolutely support Rainer's rule.

   Civilians are stupid and easy to be deceived. They only have the shortest look and can only see the immediate benefits.

  Leiner knows that these people are willing to fight for themselves, probably only to preserve their interests.

It is true that Leiner cannot deny that these people have feelings behind him and the meaning of support, but if one day Leiner and their interests have a huge conflict, then their resistance will definitely be fierce and it is definitely not the riot of the serfs. Comparable.

   This kind of thing can be learned from history. As a king, hasn't Louis XVI been guillotined by his courtiers?

  Rainer’s real basic disc is not these civilians. He does value the residents of his territory, but what he really values ​​is actually their productivity and their potential as a source of troops.

   These things Lena didn't really understand until he was twenty-five years old. Before that, he was really naive to think that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world.

   Even the nobility cannot be used as the basis for stability, and these residents cannot completely serve as the foundation of Lena. The veterans and officials, as well as the squires who support Lena, are also before the residents' priority.

  Veterans and officials, as well as vassals and nobles, supported Reiner's rule. Even if he rebelled against him, as long as the interests of these two classes are maintained and their loyalty is guaranteed, the Northern Territory will not produce too much disorder.

   However, even though he understood what was going on, Reiner was still very happy. After all, receiving preferential treatment from the residents was something to celebrate.

   What's more, after receiving 25,000 soldiers, Reiner is more confident in the next war. After all, the Northern Army is still the world's strongest army, which everyone recognizes.

For such a large-scale battlefield, the gap between 10,000 and 20,000 people is no longer a big deal. The advantage of local battles and whether they are firm are the conditions for real victory. On these two points, Reiner is full of his own army. Gained confidence.

   He doesn't even need the combat effectiveness of these militias. He can drag some of the enemy's soldiers so that they can't cause a siege to his regular army. Reiner has the confidence to win the battle.

The news that Reiner defeated the Kingdom of Bukerdern has spread, and another half month has passed. Reiner’s militia is conducting assault training for veterans in the imperial capital in order to have stronger combat effectiveness and Discipline.

The jihadist coalition forces at this time also received the news that the victory and defeat of the two sides had been divided. The messengers they deployed in the imperial capital rode fast horses to the west as soon as the battle ended, just to avoid being suspected of running all the way. He had no choice but to take a detour, so it took a month and a half before the jihadist coalition got the news.

   After receiving the news, the pope immediately gathered all the coalition kings together.

   "Everyone..." Pope Rosa's face, which is old and covered with age spots, has a rare emotion on his face. Normally, there is almost no expression on this face.

   "The civil war in the Redcar Empire has been won!" Pope Rosa said, shaking the parchment in his hand.

   "Oh? Who wins and who loses?" The kings are all curious.

   Such a once powerful country is now experiencing civil strife. Who is the ultimate winner of alcohol ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ They also want to know.

  Among them, Mekatha is the most curious...

   She stared at the parchment with complicated eyes, very nervous.

She wanted to hear the news that Reiner was defeated and killed, but she also hoped to cut off his head with her own hands to avenge her father. At the same time, there was a trace of weird thoughts in such tangled emotions, which made her feel bad. The mood is very disorderly.

"It was the Great Duke of the Northern Territory, Lena, who achieved the final victory. Now he is calling himself emperor in the imperial capital. The army of the Kingdom of Bukerdern has been completely defeated, and even their king has fallen into the hands of Duke Lena. inside!"

   "This is really a despicable rebel!" A king said indignantly. As a king, he hates the practice of rebelling and usurping the throne the most. This is what all kings don't want to see.

His words immediately resonated with many people. One of the kings stood up and said, "Why don't we change our purpose. We should send troops in the name of destroying the usurper Grand Duke Rainer. This will also make the imperial resistance laugh." a lot of!"

   Other people agreed, which was indeed very much to their liking. Not only did they kill the insurgents, they gave everyone a warning, but they were also angry with unexpected results.

Unexpectedly, Pope Rosa saw through everything, his expression returned to silence again, and said faintly: "No, we are here to cancel the throne of the empire, the Redka nation does not need an emperor, if you call him a rebel , That is to recognize the legitimacy of the empire's crown!"
