Black Iron Crown

Chapter 689: The collision of religion and kingship (

  The kings of the jihadist coalition army left Pope Rosa’s tent and sent troops to prepare their troops.

  Although the coalition forces are stationed together, they are still distinct from each other, at least the armies of these kings.

   As for those vassals, they were quite casual in stationing. They either guarded their army for supper, or stationed with the army of neighboring countries.

   There is no unified country among the Western countries. It is common for neighboring countries to be relatives and friends. It is not unimaginable for a lord to be loyal to two kings at the same time.

   In this way, it caused a great obstacle to the deployment of the jihadist coalition forces. After some rants and clamor, the kings found their vassals and mobilized their troops.

   However, this is not over yet, and they still have big disputes with each other on the issue of logistics.

  In order to prepare for this jihad, they each raised supplies and food in the country, but they were not enough to fight in the city for a long time. For this reason, Pope Rosa also took out a large amount of supplies for the east conquest.

   Although the church is rich in the world, has a large number of assets and land in many countries, and collects tithes, it is still a huge burden to support the logistical supplies of such a large army.

   Therefore, the western border of the empire has almost been plundered by them. The lords are basically under forced or converted or killed, and all the materials and food in the western border have been gathered.

   And these concentrated materials did not fall into the pockets of a certain country, but were uniformly dispatched by Pope Rosa.

   Because of this, in the preparation stage, these lords and various kings started a fierce argument about this.

   This is one of the biggest shortcomings of the jihadist coalition forces. The armies are too complex and it is very difficult to control each other.

The jihadists on the offensive side can't afford it. Their supply lines are too long, and the journey from the west to the imperial capital is too long. It is simply unrealistic to continue to transport the rations. Moreover, the west has almost been plundered by them. I don't know how many residents there are. Displaced, how many noble lords lost their territory or lost their lives.

   After all the jihadist coalition forces were ready, they began to move forward. They were already close to the imperial capital, but in fact they were more than 30 kilometers away from Rainer’s barracks.

   Naturally, their actions couldn't hide from Lena's light cavalry, and the light cavalry immediately passed the news to Lena.

   As the host, on the defensive side, Rainer immediately issued new orders.

   All the vassals gathered in Lena's big tent, and they looked at Lena who was sitting on the main seat with full arms.

These vassals had piercing eyes, lying on the hilt of their waists, and saw a heavy armor and a golden crown on his head, Lena got up from the chair, drew out the sword, and struggling to move upwards: "This is the victory or defeat! I will live up to your loyalty by fighting hard for the theme!"

   "Defend your majesty's crown! I will wait till I die!" The main lords also drew their swords, placed them in front of them, and shouted in unison.

   "Go now!" Leiner watch diligent and solemnly pointed out of the big tent.

   The lords withdrew their swords, and followed Leiner out of the big tent together aggressively.

   They dispersed, quickly returned to their camp, and mobilized their troops and vassals.

   A war horse neighed in the cold wind, and the followers fitted the saddle and bridle and tied them to the war horse.

   Horse armor, bean material and long sword, the armor of the knights is on the open-air carriage pulled by the horse.

  Rainer does not lack horses and plowing horses. In order to save the physical strength of knights and war horses, Rainer has made all the preparations.

   The knights prayed sincerely, hoping that they could gain enough merit and glory in the battle, even if they sacrifice their lives for this.

As for ordinary soldiers, they are sitting in their tents to prepare. During this period of time, their training intensity is not very high. Since the arrival of the enemy, Reiner has only allowed them to perform the most basic running and weapons. Use training only.

Before the battle, there is no need to conduct unnecessary assault training. That will only overdraft the soldiers' bodies. What can really play a role in the battlefield is the long training in the past and temporary training for a few weeks. Basically, it will not. Has too much effect.

   Therefore, let the soldiers take a good rest, eat, drink, and accumulate enough fat, which will make them more powerful in combat.

   "Head, do you think we can go back alive this time?" an infantryman asked indifferently as he arranged his armor.

His team officer was also finishing his armor. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "It's not up to me to say who lives or dies. Even the captain of the coalition has nothing to do with him, even the great emperor. , Can't be sure about this!"

The team officer smeared the last bit of grease on the armor, took it up and put it on his body, and said: "Even if we are killed in battle, there is nothing we can do. We are called by His Majesty to join his army. He Given us a lot of land and wealth, as well as a lofty status, we must repay Your Majesty at the cost of loyalty and even life!"

"Lal!" The team officer called the soldier's name: "You have two sons. If you really die on the battlefield, your majesty will never forget your contributions, and none of us will forget. , Just like you will never forget me or any comrade-in-arms!"

"We are a team of ten people, and not everyone will die on the battlefield. If anyone dies, others will naturally help testify to his merits. Your majesty’s pension is enough for your wife and son to live a good life. !"

   "Remember ~lightnovelpub.net~ no one is allowed to run away and cowardly when you arrive on the battlefield, otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!" The team officer's tone became more severe.

"Don't worry, we are not the first recruits on the battlefield. From the day I joined the army, I was ready to die on the battlefield. My wife gave me two sons, and I also left them behind. With 200 acres of arable land, even if there is no pension, it will be enough for my children to grow up!"

   "Your Majesty treats me very well, even if you lose your life on the battlefield, I will admit it. It is my honor to be loyal to your Majesty!"

  Most of these fighters are veterans who have experienced many battles. They quickly adjusted their emotions. The only difference was the militiamen who arrived from the north.

   The morning of March 2, the 33rd year of the Empire.

  Rainer's army has led the army and arrived at a position ten kilometers west of his barracks.

   After a distance of ten kilometers, they walked for about five hours. All the soldiers wore heavy armor to prevent the enemy from launching a surprise attack.

  Here, while the soldiers are making preparations, they take out and prepare food for the people in the camp.

   Dried meat and oatmeal paste, as well as some cheese goat milk, as well as a variety of pickles, can be regarded as a relatively rich meal.
