Black Iron Crown

Chapter 685: Children of the knights

Around the imperial capital, the soldiers are still carrying out daily training. Grinding the spear before the battle is still useful, and Lena will not hesitate to do anything that increases the hope of defeating him.

   More than 1,800 prairie light cavalry are cruising like the west side of the capital of Ai, and the distance of 80 kilometers is all within their scope of exploration.

   Eighty kilometers is a very huge combat radius. Even these light cavalry must spend a whole day hungry to return to the imperial capital and pass the news to Rainer.

   These prairie light cavalry have not only one war horse, each of them has two horses to exchange rides, and one horse as a spare, otherwise their horse would have fallen dead under such long-distance running.

   Tillihan, as Rainer's vassal, and his trusted lineage, personally led other prairie lords on patrols in the west.

   Rainer hasn't been idle for nearly two months. Most of the residents in the west of the imperial capital have also moved under Rainer's order.

   Although the elders of the various villages are not Liner's direct line, as the emperor of the empire, no one dares to disobey Liner's orders.

The surrounding area of ​​the imperial capital is densely populated. Although there have been frequent wars over the years, there are still more than 300,000 people living within a 50-kilometer radius of the imperial capital. The population density is far beyond the northern border.

With such a large population, it is easy to provide logistical supplies to the enemy. What's more, Reiner is afraid of his "poor days." He doesn't want to sacrifice so many people. This is the future productivity and source of troops, just so lost. He was really reluctant to spoil the enemy.

  The move of the strong wall and clear the wild, Reina is very skilled, after all, there is a soul belonging to the celestial dynasty, and it is very important to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of it.

   At this time, the Northern Territory was also affected by the war. After throwing out a large sum of money, Frank also felt distressed, but she could not lay down the basic defense measures of the Northern Territory.

   Under her order, the sons of knights were called up. Those knights but the eldest son followed His Majesty the Emperor with his father on the front line. Only the second son and younger children remained in the family.

  They are not qualified to inherit the family's beneficiary, nor can they get an excellent knight education, so they can only make a living on their own, or be a servant of their brother, or become a wandering knight

  If it is in other regions, such children may still have the opportunity to enter the monastery and become monks, because most monks are children of noble families without inheritance rights.

   But in the north, this approach won't work, because under the suppression of Northern Rainer, the church's power is very serious.

  On weekdays, apart from praying in the shabby church, there is nothing to do, including praying and comforting the residents. These things are not their turn.

   To appease the residents, the village officials appointed by Leiner will naturally do it, and there is no such thing as taking away the right to interpret and speak that belongs to Leiner.

   In some remote churches, the monks inside even need to work and farm by themselves to make ends meet.

   Originally, Rainer thought that such a thing would cause some contradictions and riots, but what he didn't expect was that apart from the dissatisfaction of the monks, nothing happened.

It’s not surprising that the residents eat and drink, so they don’t need to pray frequently in exchange for spiritual comfort. Now there are so many good things to buy in the north, it would be too stupid to send the money to the church. What's more, the church in the north was already weak, so it didn't have any influence on Rainer.

Without the church as a way out, these second sons also lost a place to earn a living. In addition, Leiner strictly prohibits extortion and robbery, and there will be no war between the lords in the north. The biggest source of life for wandering knights.

   Obviously, this will have a very big impact on a class in the North, and he personally created an unstable factor.

   After Leiner left the northern border with the army, Frante tried every means to expand the available forces in his hand to prevent accidents.

   After all, there are only 800 militiamen left in Mekalong City at this time. If something serious happens, it will not be enough.

   But she doesn't want to recruit anyone casually. It would be very dangerous if someone with unpredictable intentions joined the army.

   So, under contemplation, Frank set his target on the second son of the knights.

   The rank of knights is not a small number in the north. Although the population of the north is very small, no one will have too many knights as one of the core combat capabilities of the lords.

   At this time, in the conference hall of Mekalong City, there were about 800 young people who were from 13 to 17 years old, standing noisily.

   The guards standing guard at the door and on duty in the hall stood there with expressionless expressions.

   These young people looked at the furnishings in the discussion hall of this song with novelty. Although the northern border is rich, the castles of the former Grand Duke and the current emperor are not yet available for the children of their knights.

   The noisy voice continued for a long time, until a court jester pushed open the door of the discussion hall and shouted: "Your Majesty Queen is here!"

   The jester's voice is extremely sharp and penetrating, which is the biggest reason why he can be appreciated.

   Upon hearing the title of Her Majesty the Queen, the teenagers closed their mouths one after another. They were still very afraid of this majesty who was vigorous and prestigious.

   First, twenty-four retinues with heavily armed sabers came in~lightnovelpub.net~ They held their heads up and opened the way for Frant.

  Fart was wearing a luxurious dress. The velvet was dyed purple with precious dyes. The long skirt was ten meters long. Six maids lifted the skirt repeatedly behind his back to avoid being contaminated with dust and filth.

   On the chest of this dress, there are twelve round pearls, which are connected to the velvet with gold threads. On her slender and elegant neck, there is also a string of crystal clear gemstone necklaces.

   wears a gorgeous crown made of pure gold and inlaid with many precious stones.

   Her arrival is as if the goddess in the ancient mythology descended to the mortal world. These young people were also dumbfounded, and they didn't dare to make another mistake in front of her.

   Frantet walked on the red carpet and slowly came to a chair in the conference hall.

   Lena is not here at this time, she should be sitting there.

  Frant glanced at the teenagers present. These people looked at each other, and they all lowered their heads and dared not look directly.

   She nodded in satisfaction, her red lips lightly opened, and her voice was very clear in the silent discussion hall.

   "Everyone, I am the hostess of this country. This time I send a letter to your mother to let you come to Mekalong City. Naturally, it also has my purpose!"

   When the knights are not here, the hostess is naturally the one who is in charge.

   "Of course, I will not force you, everything is voluntary!"
