Black Iron Crown

Sir Cod's heart trembled. Earl Zhebo was the most powerful nobleman in the Northland. He used to be restrained by the royal family's decree prohibiting private fighting, but now the emperor was seriously ill. Force has dropped.

The sky is high in the north and the emperor is far away, and the power of the royal family is suppressing the lords everywhere. Even if Earl Zhebo makes any moves, it will be difficult for the imperial capital to intervene with force.

Sir Codd nodded. Although the Northland is not prosperous, the land is extremely fertile and has a lot of food production, not to mention the iron mine, the lifeblood of the lord's army.

Once he annexes more than half of the northern territory, then he will be one of the most powerful lords in the entire empire. I believe this temptation will be difficult for him to overcome. Thinking of this, Sir Corder immediately wanted to go back to the territory and tell Lai about this. accept.

"Good Earl, I will pass on your words to my lord, Baron Rainer!" Sir Corder saluted and said, "Please allow me to leave!"

"Good sir, you can leave anytime!" said Earl Weasley.

Leaving here, Rumbare and Sir Cord looked at each other in blank dismay. Earl Weasley's reminder made them tremble. If Earl Zhebo really wanted to annex the northern border, how could they resist.

Sir Valas didn't take it seriously. As the top unit of the magical world exchanged in the system, he single-handedly suppressed the orcs and wolf cavalry in the entire bloody plain. The pride in his heart was unparalleled.

In his opinion, as long as the Baron exchanged another hundred, no, fifty companions, there would be no need to be afraid of that Earl Zhebo at all.

Two hours later, Earl Weasley's men delivered one hundred and seven gold coins and five silver coins. The entire small bag was filled with golden gold coins, but speaking of them, such gold coins were rarely used for direct transactions. , except for large transactions, most of them are dominated by silver coins and copper.

However, they did not exchange the gold coins into silver coins and copper coins. This kind of gold coins that are easy to carry is the best way to escort them, otherwise it is very likely to cause loss.

In this way, they left the imperial capital, and Lumbare was still a little reluctant. Young people always have a longing for this kind of prosperous big city.

In this way, under the amazed eyes of the city guards again, the well-equipped and well-trained Morandi army appeared in their eyes.

After tensely guarding for a while, this group of outsiders in armor and holding weapons finally left here.

Except for the imperial capital, they walked all the way north. After more than ten days, the farther to the north, the colder it was. They were about to reach the northern border at this time, and there were already many small puddles on the ground, which appeared after the snow melted .

After traveling to the north for nearly ten days, and after walking about 200 kilometers, I can already clearly see that there are still some rustling snow on the side of the road, but it is much less than that in winter.

Looking at the familiar environment around him, Lumbare couldn't help but cheered up, and started trotting around the team with his horse, causing Sir Corder to scold him for a while.

The muddy road was very difficult to walk on, but fortunately, several of their carriages didn't carry anything on them, so they didn't get stuck in the mud.

Leiner is very dissatisfied with the current situation of the territory. The heavy snow blocked his connection with the territory before, and the muddy land now hinders his orders.

It’s not like he doesn’t understand the principle of building roads first in order to get rich. Many emperors in the previous celestial dynasties, especially the first emperor, built Chidao. Although it was not for commercial services but because of political needs, the importance of roads is self-evident. figurative.

But the cost of building a stone road is too high, not to mention that he does not have so much manpower to build such a difficult stone road, he is eager to get cement to make his territory extend in all directions.

But the system did not allow him to take advantage of this loophole.

The technology of cement requires 1,500 merit points to be exchanged, not to mention that there is no lime ore found in the entire northern border, and it needs to be more expensive to exchange for lime ore in the system.

There is no way, now there are only more than a hundred meritorious deeds left in his deposit, and he can't exchange these things at all, so he can only sigh.

Walking in the open space in the castle, Wende still practiced swordsmanship or horsemanship here uninterruptedly. At this time, he was riding up and down on a war horse, and it could be seen that his riding skills were quite skilled.

After all, as an aristocratic class, force must be strong. No matter what kind of aristocrat it is, the children of their family will start combat practice when they are around eight years old, and the etiquette training courses will gradually decrease.

Walking in the open space, the moist cool wind blew on his face, and the melting of the snow finally made the dry air more moist, and he no longer had to dry his nose even taking a breath of air like in winter.

The day when the salary was paid was approaching, and he was a little worried in his heart. He was afraid that Sir Codd and the others would not be able to come back on time due to some accident on the road, and he would face a huge predicament.

Another few days passed, and the snow on the ground had melted almost invisible, making the country roads and fields even more muddy.

At this time, Sir Codd and others had already entered the range of Fort Gold, and it was estimated that they could reach Fort Moland the next day.

They stayed in Goerburg for one night, and before dawn the next day, they left Goerburg at dawn, carrying the gold coins they brought back from the imperial capital to Murland Castle.

That night, they appeared outside Fort Moreland.

"Lord Baron, Sir Corder and the others are back!" A guard followed a manservant, and the guard said to Reiner.

After hearing this, Reiner immediately stood up from the chair excitedly: "I'm finally back!"

He hoped Sir Cordd could bring him a surprise, a huge surprise.

Sir Corder had already taken off his armor at this time, put on a light yellow uniform, walked into Reiner's room, and said, "My lord, the armor we forged in the imperial capital and our trophies are all for sale." To the royal family member of the imperial capital, Earl Wesley Moreland, we got 107 gold coins and 5 silver coins!"

"Good! Very good!" Reiner laughed like a chrysanthemum when he heard this amount. The high price was beyond his expectations. With this money, he can maintain the army for a month There are many more. In fact, as the main line of Fort Moreland, he really has nothing to spend money besides supporting the army. These more than 100 gold coins are enough for him to support the army for more than a year.

"Besides, Earl Weasley wants me to remind you!" Sir Corder said slowly, staring into Reiner's eyes.

"What's the matter?" Tilting his head, Reiner felt a little uncomfortable looking at the other party's serious expression.
