Black Iron Crown

Chapter 714 The Shocked Bird

Pope Rosa, who had just made up his mind, was once again caught in a dilemma. The letter stated very clearly that he must surrender as soon as possible and hand over all war supplies, and at the same time make compensation for the empire's losses.

The tough attitude immediately filled the kings and popes with anger. The defeat on the battlefield was a foregone conclusion, but no one was willing to hand over all the gold and silver treasures they plundered, let alone compensation.

"Your Majesty, I think we might as well fight that damn Reiner! Anyway, we are relying on the city wall, and the food stored here is enough for us to eat for a year!"

A young duke was furious after hearing others read out Reiner's conditions, and said to Pope Rosa in righteous indignation.

"I don't believe that damn Reiner can lead people to besiege us here for a whole year, he must go back to control the newly conquered territory, I think as long as he sticks to it for a month, he will lead people to go back in despair! "

"That's right, I think the so-called emperor's hat is more important to him, we just don't surrender, let's see what he can do!"

There were endless clamors among the crowd, and the strength of more than 20,000 troops in the castle gave them a lot of confidence.

Pope Rosa looked at the excited crowd and could only say: "Okay, for the father! For your respective glory, we will fight the enemy to the death!"

"Ah!"

Rainer soon received a reply, and the jihadi coalition forces also shot out the letter with arrows, and the content was exactly as he expected, and a battle was still needed in the end.

"Everyone get ready, engineers build siege equipment, the forest behind us is the best source of wood!"

In addition to the order to build siege equipment, Leiner also issued other orders. Although he has the advantage in terms of strength, even he dare not say that he can conquer the fortress in front of him in a short time.

The siege battle is still very difficult. Once the siege takes too long, Leiner will have to bring the army back to the imperial capital, because there are still many things he needs to deal with.

Half of the light cavalry ended their plundering mission and rushed towards the various countries that formed the Jihad coalition with their maps.

"The Jihad army suffered a complete defeat on the front line, and His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Ridka Empire, Lena, besieged them in Fortress Lugoin! A large number of nobles were captured, and the list of captured is in my hands!"

The light cavalry roamed the land of the western countries in groups of three or four. Their mobility was almost the strongest in this era. They wanted to spread the news as quickly as possible.

Just do it.

Reiner is not idle here either, he knows that these people will not cry until they see the coffin, if they don't give them a ruthless blow, it may be difficult to get them to put down their weapons and surrender.

The craftsmen and engineers are well paid and their status is very good, so they are not passive and slow down their work, and their movements are very quick. In just 15 days, they processed a large amount of wood into parts, and then quickly assembled them. stand up.

Eighty trebuchets, thirty well rails, and a dozen rams stood in Leiner's camp like this.

Such efficiency greatly shocked the lords and kings in Lugaoin Fortress. Because of the system, they had never seen such an efficient way of action. A little haze.

"We... can we really..."

"I don't want to fight anymore, I don't want to die...I want to go home!"

"Damn it, those masters didn't care about our lives at all!"

"They only care about money!"

The soldiers stationed on the city wall looked worried at the enemies below. Before that, they still had some confidence in defending the city.

But after seeing so many siege machines, that sense of fear surged into my heart again.

The army in front of them beat themselves and others to the brink of death, and they did not dare to fight against it. The brave and heroic fighting power was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. They did not want to face such a terrifying enemy again.

"Father... bless me and I will glorify you!"

A templar wearing fine armor and a blue cross robe outside kissed the cross pendant on his neck and prayed in a low voice.

The casualties of the Templar Knights were not particularly large, because they did not have a direct confrontation with Rainer's Snowy Griffon Knights, but only had a confrontation with the Southern Knights led by Sir Andrew.

Although there were some casualties on the way to escape, half of them survived, nearly 400 people.

"My lord!" Another Templar wearing a double armor with a long sword hanging from his waist walked up the stairs to the top of the city, and the guards and soldiers saluted one after another.

Although the Templars had no land or heirs and gave up all titles, their status was still very high. Their loyalty to the faith and the title of guardian of the Holy Father made them very respected.

"Kemon, how's the situation?" The new Templar asked after glancing at the surrounding soldiers.

Amon put down the cross in his hand and stuffed it back into his collar: "Deron..."

Then he whispered again: "The situation is not good, the soldiers are full of fear!"

Hearing this, Deron's face was full of helplessness: "No way, they were scared by the army under Leiner's command. I have to say that they are a group of very powerful fighters, terrible enemies!"

"We can't be too demanding!" Deron patted Amon's shoulder and said, "All we can do is to do our best to defend the city wall and protect the Holy See from any harm. Don't we still have so many sergeants!"

"I hope so!" Amon nodded, looking worriedly at the orderly force under the city wall, wondering what he was thinking.

But at this moment, Lena's camp suddenly became noisy, horns sounded one after another, shouts and orders echoed throughout the camp.

The sound of the blades of the iron armor colliding together was heard endlessly. After the soldiers put on their armed uniforms, they put on a full-body chain armor on the outside, and at the same time put on simple iron armor that could fully protect their chest, abdomen and arms. Swords hanging from the waist and long hairs in hand, assembled in line.

The Golden Lion Guard had already eaten and drank enough. They put on terrifying heavy armor, carried a one-handed battle ax and a round shield, and were ready for a bloody battle.

The crossbowmen have already assembled their bows, oiled their crossbows, and put on their light armor. Molan's sergeants have already assembled in full body chain armor and full body armor.

The gate of Leiner's camp was wide open, the flags were like fire, and the spears were like a forest. One hundred thousand troops walked out of the camp gate, and came to the 200 meters away from Lu Gaoyin's city wall with banners and banners.

"Be alert! The enemy is about to attack the city! Be alert!"

Amon reacted quickly, and shouted loudly, and there was a sudden chaos in the fight. The soldiers drew out their long swords and picked up their spears, ready to protect themselves.

They don't want to fight the enemies outside the city, but they want to survive.

Many people fled down the stairs, and these people might have been scared out of their wits, like frightened birds.

"Where is the enemy? Over there?"

The soldiers lay on the battlements and looked down, full of panic.
