Black Iron Crown - Chapter 669
As a wife, it’s not that Frank is not worried about Rainer’s life or death.
On the contrary, during this period of time, her heart was incomparably tormented, but he still had to think about the next thing. If he desperately mobilized the residents or the army of unknown origin, he would instead send his husband to the dead end. .
Therefore, at the beginning, she just selected the new army from the militia and prepared to send it to Rainer.
The occurrence of such a thing naturally made her unexpected, but it would still not let Frante let go of her vigilance. She had to use some means to ensure that the militiamen who were to be sent to Rainer were loyal and loyal. reliable.
Earl Cod was silent after listening, and then said: “Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it according to your orders!”
Earl Cod has great power in the city of Mecalon, but Frank also has his own skills. After she married Rainer, several of her past followers held some positions under Rainer’s command.
For the wife of a ruler, it is very necessary to have a certain amount of power, just like now, Earl Cod has enough power, but Logan will definitely listen to Frank instead of Earl Cod.
Although he is Reiner’s uncle and the magistrate, he also has to obey Frant’s orders.
Fart nodded slightly, smiled and said, “Wait for good news!”
Earl Cod hurriedly left the main castle, and returned to the street with a group of followers.
On the street, the residents who are willing to stay here still gather here. They will not go back until they get a response. It is the responsibility of everyone to defend their homes.
“Be quiet! Please be quiet!” More than 10,000 people gathered in the square in the center of the city and it was very noisy, but when Earl Cod quieted them down, they quickly shut their mouths.
“Citizens! Your Majesty the Grand Duke has agreed to your request and is willing to let you go to the front to help your Majesty fight!”
“Long live!”
Earl Cod’s words immediately made the crowd joyous, they took off their hats and threw them into the sky, cheering.
It was so disorganized for a long time, and the residents calmed down at the request of Earl Cod.
Count Cod continued: “However, the Grand Duchy does not have the financial resources to arm all of you. Your Majesty the Grand Duchess requires you to purchase iron armor and weapons from the Principality!”
His words together caused an uproar among the crowd, and the citizens roared their opinions.
“Why! Don’t we fight for the Duke? Don’t we fight for our own benefit?”
Yes, it is true that many people are so eager for their own interests. Although they love their grand prince, if they simply go to the battlefield to die for the grand prince, they are obviously not so noble.
The army in the North is a profession that makes everyone covetous. As long as they don’t die on the battlefield and gain some merits, are they afraid of not being rewarded? Once the Grand Duke is defeated, his own interests cannot be guaranteed. It is better to go to the battlefield to defend his country and get some benefits at the same time.
Under the enthusiasm of the crowd, no matter how much Earl Cod shouted, these residents could not calm down.
The guards beside him can hardly stop the fanatical crowd.
So, these guards drew their long swords from their waists and aimed them at the out-of-control crowd in front of them.
The militia patrols on the scene responsible for maintaining order also pointed their spears at these residents.
Facing the threat of swords and spears, the residents finally stopped their movements and calmed down.
Earl Cod wiped the cold sweat on his head and couldn’t help complaining in his heart.
This is nothing short of a chore, not only to face the noisy crowd again and again, but also to prevent these people from losing control. Just now, it almost caused a bloodshed.
“You guys, please listen to me. Your Majesty’s orders must be obeyed. Moreover, providing armor to you is indeed a very heavy burden. The Grand Duchy cannot bear it for the time being. If you are really willing to give your life to your Majesty, then it must be. I won’t care about this!”
“Now, if anyone wants to buy armor and weapons, please go and prepare, and the Principality will prepare the armor for you to buy!”
Count Cod said loudly, his remarks were very subtle, and he emphasized that this was what the Grand Duchess meant.
He is unwilling to bear the responsibility of the boiling people’s grievances, not to mention that the grandfather concubine was also defensive against himself before, and small revenge is not a problem.
After hearing these words, these residents also knew that things could not be changed, and they could only disperse one after another.
Earl Cod looked at the relieved followers around him, and shook his head involuntarily, but did not relax.
He took his followers and militia patrols to the outside of the city, where there were a large number of petitioners, and he wanted to appease those people.
Earl Cod exhausted his tongue, and finally conveyed all of Frank’s words to these petitioners.
The next morning, a set of iron armor was removed from Rainer’s warehouse and brought to the center of Mecalon City to sell.
These armors are full-body chain armor, and the price is set at two silver coins. For the steel-rich background, the armor only needs to pay the salary of the blacksmiths and the workers who burn coal. As for coal and steel, all are Rainer’s private property does not need to spend money.
Therefore, a set of full-body chain mail that could be sold for ten gold coins in the empire would only cost two silver coins in the north.
Of course~www.mtlnovel.com~ Two silver coins are definitely not a small number for these citizens. It may take a year for them to save the money.
Therefore, such a threshold isolates some people who are not so sincere and do not love Dellina from the bottom of their hearts.
Of course, there are still a large number of poor people among them, perhaps because of illness, or because of gambling or alcoholism. Not everyone in the North is rich and can afford such a huge sum of money.
Sure enough, there are not as many people buying iron armor today as they did yesterday, about one-fifth of yesterday’s. After all, not everyone can afford this cruelty with a full year’s income.
Just like this, one set after another set of iron armor was sold, and a few days later, someone came over from afar.
These people are relatively far away from Mekalong City. They have to walk for a long time before they can reach the heart of the northern border.
In the end, there were more than 20,000 people willing to spend money to buy iron armor, and wealthy people from all over the world bought these armors and were determined to go to the battlefield to help His Majesty fight.
Half of the 20,000 people have participated in militia training. At this time, they were neatly assembled outside the city of Mecalon for the oath of worship. Frank stood on the wall and looked down at these people. .
