Black Iron Crown - Chapter 661
At this time in the imperial capital, more and more residents of the past returned here. After a period of cleaning, most of the little emperor’s gangs have been arrested, and the entire emperor is completely in the hands of Rainer.
Teams of heavily armed soldiers patrolled the streets to ensure the security of the imperial capital, and their excellent discipline also surprised the residents and vendors of the imperial capital.
They have never seen this kind of warrior who is innocent in autumn. In the past, when the little emperor was in power, most of those patrols would ripped off in the hands of the merchants when performing tasks. Extortion and blackmail couldn’t be more common.
In this way, there is a clear contrast between the soldiers under Rainer and the army of the little emperor before, and the residents of the imperial capital are more supportive of Rainer’s rule.
At the same time, the news that Rainer had conquered the imperial capital was spreading to the south, but he did not immediately take over the many cities and castles in the south.
Now that the war is not over, the army of the Kingdom of Bukkerdern may come at any time. He does not want to spread his turf too much, otherwise those areas will become a piece of scorched earth under the war.
After defeating the Kingdom of Bookeden, he will officially announce his crowning. Now he has not announced the fact that he has been enthroned to the whole country. When the Kingdom of Bookeden is defeated, his throne will gradually become stable.
It was a full month since Reiner conquered the imperial capital. A dozen horses and three couriers hurriedly entered the imperial capital. These messengers wore the same red-bottomed golden lion coat of arms as Reiner, from Mecalon. A messenger from the city.
The letter was sent by Logan. It took only seven days to travel such a long distance. These messengers were able to deliver the letter to Rainer at such a fast speed, almost without sleep.
After reading the letter, Rainer’s face became a little ugly. It was written about the reaction of the Western countries to the jihadist decrees.
As early as three months ago, Logan’s nails planted in the west passed the news to the north, but unfortunately, due to the limitations of the times, the speed of the news transmission was quite slow.
After Rainer left the northern border for more than half a month, the news fell into Logan’s hands.
Logan reported the news to Frank, and Frank immediately arranged for someone to deliver the news to Rainer. This news was really important.
“Um…I see…” Rainer frowned and said to the messenger: “How is the Northland now, how is he, madam?”
“Everything in the north is very good. It is no different from before you left. The warehouse is full of grain, and it is prosperous as always. Under the order of the wife, more militiamen have started the winter training again. Many half-length iron armors have been issued, and militiamen are being recruited through various village-level units. Before I left the northern border, the first batch of 800 militiamen had already set off from the northern border. The Grand Duchess… Your Majesty the Queen hopes that I can Bring your meaning back and see if you can increase troops!”
Linus thought for a while, and finally nodded.
He is now mobilizing garrisons in some cities and castles in the north. There are probably more than 5,000 people in total. He originally wanted to throw these people into the battlefield. Now that the messenger said that, he also felt that he was his own. More reliable.
Most of the militiamen in the northern border are people from wealthy families. In other words, apart from the new population, there are basically no poor people in the northern border. The land distribution system determines the lower limit of the residents in the northern border.
Rainer asked himself that he had never treated the residents of the North Territory any wrongdoing, and they also reciprocated themselves and loyal to themselves, so they are more credible than others.
Rainer said: “It is enough for the queen to give me an additional three thousand troops, and the rest should not be disbanded. Let them defend Mekalong City and tell her that I am worried about her safety!”
The messenger nodded after listening to Rainer’s words, and hurriedly left the room, stepped on the horse and ran to the north again at a very fast speed.
Rainer sits alone in the study room of the Imperial Capital. This study room is very beautifully furnished and decorated. The floor is covered with velvet carpet, the table is made of precious wood, and the burning fireplace makes the whole study extremely warm. , Several portraits of King Merland were hung on the wall, and several sets of gorgeous armors stood quietly on the shelves, as if the samurai with only armors were waiting for the emperor’s order.
Leiner’s heart was full of worries. Judging from the letter sent by Logan, the Western countries did not have the jihadist decrees as they thought. It would take a long time to make a final decision.
They have actually invaded the western border of the empire, and where they are stationed for a long time, waiting for their own victory or defeat here.
This could not help but engulf Lena’s heart with a haze. When the fight with the Kingdom of Bukerdern was finished, there was still a jihadist army to face. It was a huge army of more than 70,000 people. Although Lena was right He had confidence in the combat effectiveness of the army under his command, but 30,000 people fought 70,000 people, even Rainer had no idea in his heart.
Seventy thousand army, it feels terrible to think about it, Rainer instantly felt a kind of pressure like a mountain topping.
However, this was a war that had to be fought. No matter what, he could not avoid it. He originally thought that it would take at least one or two years for the countries in the West to launch a holy war. At that time, he felt that his strength was completely sufficient. response.
But now, Rainer has just become the emperor, and many places don’t even know that the emperor of the empire has changed.
“Would you like… to negotiate with the Kingdom of Booker Dern?” Such an idea came to Lena’s mind~www.mtlnovel.com~ but soon, this idea was extinguished by him.
He also imagined that, like the Emperor Taizong in his previous life, he temporarily negotiated peace with the East Turks when his strength was insufficient, and then he backhanded and wiped out the opponent.
But obviously this doesn’t show that the general rules of the two worlds are fundamentally different. Once Rainer negotiated with the Kingdom of Buckden, it would shake his own foundation for so long.
The reason why he proclaimed the emperor was that the queen had committed adultery with Count Redmara and perversely, and the queen was the princess of the Kingdom of Bukerdern. Once the peace was negotiated, it would prove that he was wrong, so the peace was not established at all.
Make peace with the western countries? That is even more impossible!
The reason for the Jihad in the Western Countries is that the Rosa Church wants to rejuvenate their authority. Although the influence of the Rosa Church has faded in recent years, it is still an out-and-out Big Mac.
Although the jihadist countries are all independent individuals, but with the Rosa Church in, how can they make peace with Reiner?
What’s more, even if this holy war is initiated by the church, those countries are not without benefits. Although the Rosa church will get a lot of meat cut from the empire, it will not be eaten all. It will be distributed to the Western countries. certain.
Everyone takes what they need. They have 70,000 troops. Why do they want to make peace with Leiner?
Thinking of this, Lena’s head hurts even more.
