Black Iron Crown

There is only one reason that can make Reiner frown, and that is because this matter makes it very difficult for him to make a choice.

The letter reads:

"Hi, respected ruler of Fort Moreland, Baron Reiner of Moreland, as your cousin, I would like to extend my sincere regards to you!"

Reiner felt very strange about the cousin he mentioned. He didn't remember any relationship between himself and the other party, and even the memory of his predecessor didn't have any relationship in this regard.

Reiner took out two genealogy books from the bedside in the room, which were about the lineages of the Kahn family and the Merland family. If he really had something to do with Lai'an, then there would definitely be a lineage in these two books. mentioned.

After some research, Reiner understood why the other party claimed to be his cousin.

It turned out that his aunt was married to Reiner's grandfather, that is to say, Reiner's grandmother was Baron Kahn's aunt, and the other party was older than Reiner, so he called himself Reiner's cousin.

The letter also said:

"In the past winter, the Kraders ravaged the entire northern border inhumanely. I learned that you led the army to fight against the Kraders. I thought, with the same blood, I should do the same thing as you. A heroic decision."

"So I also led the army to the north to resist the invasion of the Krades, but unlike your exciting victory, I suffered a disastrous defeat in front of the Krades. My army was routed and the knights were in Many died on the battlefield!"

"And when spring comes, the other lords have already learned of my weakness, and they are eyeing me. Now, Baron Ruenf and Barry, these two lackeys of Earl Zhebo have led the army to attack me. The territory has launched an invasion. Perhaps they were ordered by Earl Zhebo to attack me, or they may want to seize benefits themselves, but I am sure that they want to end the Kahn family and end my rule on this land! "

"For the sake of our common ancestry, please help me! Please help me to maintain the rule of my family in the Karnburg area for generations, and for this you will gain a permanent, steadfast , loyal and unswerving ally!"

"There are not many people besieging me, but they are all the lords around my territory. I know their purpose very well. They just want to end my rule on this land. The opponent's army has about 300 people. Now the spring plowing is still there. It's not over, they don't want to mobilize the serfs to fight, so I beg you, beg you to help me, help your cousin!"

"Your cousin, the ruler of Kahn Castle, Baron Kahn!"

This letter can be said to be very humble, his tone is not at all like a baron talking to another baron, but more like a letter from a vassal team doctor Feng Jun.

"It seems that this is really being forced to a corner." Reiner thought in his heart.

But to be honest, he is a little hesitant about this matter, he doesn't know whether it is good or bad, although he has accepted the task of building an empire, and has been using his own ideas to achieve this goal, although it is still Nothing.

However, to be honest, he still hesitated to send troops to assist Baron Kahn. After all, this was a direct conflict with the two barons, which meant that he would inevitably form an enemy with each other.

Meritorious points are very tempting, but for the time being, he doesn't want to make too many enemies for himself. He just wants to develop steadily and steadily, and then push his troops with a wave of violence.

What's more, after listening to Earl Weasley's reminder, he also knows that there is another Earl Zhebo in the northern border who is stalking him. Once he does this, he will undoubtedly be the first bird.

If you lose this battle, you may be driven directly by the opponent, not to mention the loss of troops. Even if you win, it will be difficult for you to gain anything other than some merit points, and it is not so easy to annex the opponent's territory directly. .

He let out a long breath, and Reiner hesitated. He said to Lumbare: "Call all the knights, and I will hold a meeting on whether to help Earl Kahn."

Lumbare nodded and walked out of the room.

He sat on the bed and pondered for a while, but in the end he still couldn't come up with any ideas. After sitting for nearly an hour, he called two maids and asked them to change into a robe for him, and walked to the hall in the castle.

At this time, there were already Lumbare, Sir Corder, Sir Wallas, and Sir Leyland in the hall. Apart from the three of them, there was Logan here, and the other knights were not in Fort Moreland.

The trainee knights who originally stayed in the castle most of the time also lived in the fief because they got the fief. Even if they rode fast horses, it would take nearly an hour to get there.

Reiner sat on the chair and chatted with the five people for a while, it was nothing more than the recent situation of Liao Territory, and briefly told them about this matter.

It seems that a small territory is not without advantages, at least when you want to summon the vassals, it will be very fast. After more than an hour, the knights who were in their own fiefs came to the hall.

They are also wearing simple military uniforms. It is difficult to ride a horse in formal clothes, but there are some mud spots on the uniforms. In the eyes of the water in the early spring, the horses' hoofs will step on the ground and there will be bursts of mud spots. Crash on them.

Seeing the vassals entering the hall in a hurry, Reiner seated them, and then passed the letter in his hand to them, asking them to read it one by one.

Everyone has a different expression when they see this letter, and other people are also very curious when they see the expressions of the readers, and when they see this letter, they also change their colors one after another.

Reiner knew that some of these people were actually illiterate, so he took the letter in his hand and read it out again.

After reading it, he put down the letter and looked at the people with different attitudes, and said, "I am also hesitant about this, so I plan to ask for your opinions. What do you think?"

As soon as Reiner finished speaking, the whole hall was almost in chaos. Some people clamored to push the enemy directly to destroy them and plunder their territories, while others kept a little more hope that more things would be better than less things.

The Scarlet Griffin Knights, on the other hand, are the safe hawks, or in other words, the reckless ones. They think about hard steel all day long, and they won't turn around at all.

Listening to their quarrel, Reiner's head was about to explode. He patted the table and said, "Everyone be quiet! Come one by one!"

"Sir Corder, tell me your opinion first!"

Sir Corder pondered for a while when asked by Reiner, and then said: "I want to ask the baron first, as the patron of the Holy Father, do you want to be a baron in Fort Moreland or have greater ambitions?" Woolen cloth?"

Hearing this, there was a shortness of breath in the hall where the smell of needles could be heard, and everyone turned their attention to Reiner to see what kind of answer he would give.

They have great trust in Reiner, the "Holy Father's Carer". In addition, the recent wars have won successive victories, and the development of the territory is also very prosperous, not to mention the sudden appearance of the Holy Father's envoy. It all shows that Lena is the son of destiny.

They don't believe that Reiner will fail in anything. If he has greater ambitions, his status and wealth will undoubtedly rise with the lord.
