Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 1 Bai Lu Town

Claude woke up early, and if it was a pre-crossing routine, perhaps because his nightlife was too rich to go to the office until noon, but when he became Claude, he had to get up early and even get used to waking up at more than five o'clock.

Every six o'clock in the morning, the temple of war on the east side of the town will ring the benthic horn bell, and the crisp bell will ring the entire town of White Deer, signaling the beginning of a new day. White Deer Town will also wake up from the tranquillity and regain its vitality, and the noise of the horses and the rumblings will soon echo in the streets and alleys.

Chaosha is dyeing the sky red, it looks like it will be a sunny day.

If the weather is good, it means it's full of light, and you don't need to light any more oil lamps in the morning. Claude rubbed his face, sat at the desk, picked up the grammar book and started reading.

Claude has always thought of himself as a sad crossover, because he had no system, no space, no grandfather in the ring. Didn't you say you had golden fingers through it? But it took Claude half a year to make sure he didn't have any golden fingers, and the only thing that was a little unusual was that he had a sensitive hearing and could hear other people's whispers from afar. The other thing is that imagination can be a little rich, and sometimes hearing parents talking downstairs can simulate in their minds what the downstairs living room looks like and what parents do.

The new world means new words and new knowledge, more than a decade of reading in the last lifetime, and I didn't think I'd have to go back to school if I crossed it. Especially since the original owner of the body he crossed was still a scum, with a few grades in the class. And in order to understand this new world, I had to work hard to learn so that I could better integrate into it.

The bell rang and the loud bell echoed in the sky. Soon, the sound of walking and opening doors came from downstairs, and the mother had gotten up to prepare the family's breakfast.

Claude threw the grammar book in his hand on the table for fifteen minutes, and the refresher preview was ready. Thanks to more than three months of hard work, his grades in the class are now soaring. Just to be awkward, Claude had to deliberately make a few more mistakes during the monthly exams so that he wouldn't accidentally become class number one, making people suspicious.

After all, the original owner's grades of this body are really too bad. It's amazing enough to progress a dozen or two names. If 63 people in the class took the first test, Claude herself wouldn't dare imagine what would happen. So for him, even if it's a very simple course, grades don't matter, and it's important to learn about this new world through learning.

“Lamb roast pancakes! Fresh lamb roast pancakes..."

“Honey! Good golden laurel honey! From sweet mouth to heart..."

“Apple. Apple! Sir, cook one of the three finnies, thank you...”

The sound of vendors on the street, as well as the noise of hard wheels rolling across the street.

“Good morning, Mrs. Field. Would you like some milk today? Fresh milk, just pulled from the ranch.” This was Uncle Green's voice, who had a small ranch in the hills north of town and raised more than a dozen cows. Get up before dawn every day, squeeze the milk and arrive in town before the horn bell rings, delivering milk to customers who have made a deposit. As for the excess milk, it is ordered along the street, when it is sold out and when it will be taken back in the old carriage.

Although the mother is not Uncle Green's milk deposit customer, due to her father's relationship, Uncle Green always comes and asks, semi-sales and sells some milk.

“Good morning, old Green, let me take a look first.” After a while, my mother said, "Very fresh milk, give me a pot. ”

Claude shook his head, and Mother must have gone out to buy milk with that oversized silver pot in the house, which was worth two more pots.

Indeed, the mother's voice rang out: "Is a sonar enough? ”

“Enough is enough.” Uncle Green said, "A pot of Sutar, that's how I sell it. ”

“Thank you, Brother Green.” Mother also knew she was taking advantage, but she was used to it.

Claude's father, Morsan. Fields is the chief administrative officer of Bai Lu Town and is also considered a face figure in the town. Although his official duties are small, he has the power to oversee all administrative matters in the town, so he is often visited by people to give praises. Like Uncle Green selling milk, he was greedy just in case something happened, and Claude's father would be able to come out and help him with a few good words, enough that he would normally send so much milk.

Claude stood up and wore a black school uniform, a short overcoat like the one on Earth, but not a suit collar, but a raised collar, kind of like a collar in a Zhongshan suit. The hem is knee-flat and the cuffs are generally closed like a leather jacket. The uniform is made of linen, so it doesn't look very smooth and has a slight wrinkle feel.

Remove the blue towel from the lanyard at the corner of the wall and open the door downstairs to the bathroom.

Sometimes Claude is happy to have a good standard of living and hygiene in the new world he travels through. For example, the toothbrush is made of wood and horsehair, which is a little too big to fit into the mouth. Toothpaste, though not, has toothpaste, as if it were made from concentrated salt and vegetable herbs. Tap water is supplied by water towers and red copper pipes, but it is only enjoyable by the wealthy people in town. There is also grass paper, soap and soap, glass on the windows, even a toilet and so on. When I think of my colleagues shaving their asses through ancient tiles, Claude often steals from himself, and indeed happiness is a comparison...

Claude's house is a four-story red brick building, and the tallest floor is a four-strong penthouse. Claude used to hear his father talking to him about this building in his own house, which was a hundred years ago, a popular Hogo-style building by the famous architectural artist, Biedel. Hogo created it. And Sterling VII, the seventh king of the kingdom of Orvillas, loved and admired this architectural style and had ordered the construction of three streets on both sides of the king, full of Hogo-style buildings.

More than 60 years ago, a man named Blonde. Baron Rodman's Territorial nobility built this Hogo-style building as his mansion in White Deer Town, which became one of the most luxurious and famous buildings in White Deer Town.

Fifty years ago, Calgart. Prince Don Sterling, later Sterling IX, fired the first shot at the Kingdom of Revival in White Deer Town, and the Rodman's Palace, this red brick building, became the home of hostile forces, where the most intense resistance took place.

The situation was said to have been very tense, and if the Rodman Palace could not be attacked within half an hour, it was likely that the firearms battalion at the Stone Sentinel, 15 miles from White Deer Town, would have come to reinforce those hostiles, who, after all, were nominally the ruling class of White Deer Town. As subordinates, the firearms guard battalion at the Stone Sentinel would have had to obey their orders, even if many of them were Prince Calgart's sympathizers and supporters.

In order to resist the King's arrest and house arrest order, Prince Calgart, who hastily waged war, had no choice but to reward his courageous husband and swear that whoever could rush into the palace, after the victory, whatever he asked for, the title, the property, the beauty, the official position, as long as the prince could do it, he would surely fulfill this promise.

The reward promised by the prince made many of his dead men red-eyed, and after a short row of guns, the soldiers who had been rewarded for their inspiration launched a death shock with gunfire sprayed out of all the windows of the house. With 30 or 40 casualties down the road, more than a dozen remaining warriors successfully stormed into the palace and engaged in a deadly physical battle with the guards.

On this occasion, the prince immediately launched a second strike, taking over the first floor of the house with only a small number of soldiers killed and injured in the face of a dramatic drop in guard fire. The momentum has gone, and soon the remaining guards have either been killed or surrendered.

The prince succeeded in occupying Bai Lu Town, and the reinforced gunguard battalion became the first officially staffed battalion under the prince's command, without hesitation in choosing the second of the counts of musketeering and the prince's solicitation.

This was the beginning of the civil war in the Kingdom of Ovilas, which Claude had seen in his history book called the "Tri-Color Cane Fight”. Eleven years after the death of Sterling VII, the infirm and sick Sterling VIII took office, the kingdom was in a state of stagnation and financial inadequacy. Moreover, the contradiction between nobles and free citizens and businessmen has intensified, and many territorial nobles have arbitrarily set up tax cards on the enclosed land to establish private armaments and scratch civilian wealth for their enjoyment, despite royal decrees.

There are four bandits in the kingdom, and the people don't talk. The Kingdom of Nasserley and the Principality of Berkeley, on the border of the Kingdom, seized the two counties in the north-eastern part of the Kingdom by taking advantage of the fire and provoking constant border strife. In the face of external concerns, Sterling VIII's solution was simple, glaring, dead, leaving a mess for his successor.

It doesn't matter if Sterling VIII dies, anyway, his presence has always been poor. In the eyes of the people of the Kingdom, whether or not this king is the same, this situation is not nearly as bad as it is now, everyone is struggling to survive.

It doesn't matter if Sterling VIII dies, but he didn't leave a will to announce who the next king is, Princess Elinia. Don Sterling and Prince Ernest. Don Sterling was so excited that they thought they both had the chance to take the throne.

Elder Princess Illinia is poorly regarded by the civilian population and is also known among the nobles for her vagaries. Her supporters are the military nobles of the Wangdu Guard, and she is also associated with the Kingdom of Nasri and the Principality of Berkeley. Both enemies were said to have supported the Elder Princess as queen, when the King had rumours that the Elder Princess had promised to cede four counties in the northeast to the two neighbouring countries in exchange for peace agreements and support for her.

Prince Ernest's supporters were the territorial nobility, the small group of people with vested interests in the kingdom, headed by the prince's uncle, Grand Duke Brown, who stubbornly opposed any change in the status quo. Relying on the twelve city defensive gun battalions in their possession, they confronted the PLA in Wangdu from time to time.

While Elder Princess Illinia and Prince Ernest were at odds, they didn't forget to take care of their dick, Prince Calgart. Don Sterling. It is well known that the three princes were the result of Sterling VIII's failure to rise to the throne and of his close servant. They were not born to the queen and should be strictly classified as illegitimate children.

It was only the close maid who died of the epidemic shortly after Prince Calgart was born, and Sterling VIII worried about her old love, which led the Queen to adopt the baby and become the three nominal princes. In fact, Prince Calgart was raised by an old couple of gardeners from the Imperial Palace, and the Queen was busy caring for her two biological children, never taking care of the bastard.

Princess Illinia and Prince Ernest have always thought that Prince Calgart was not a threat to the throne, after all, he was not the Queen's own. But I also thought that Prince Calgart was in the way of the king. If he wanted to give the land a seal, he simply found an excuse for him to patrol the three counties in the southwest and beat him out of the king's capital.

It's just that they didn't expect Prince Calgart to pull the flag of the Sterling royal family as a tiger skin, punish the illegal territorial aristocracy and local power all the way, comfort the poor, eliminate bandits along the way, gather the hearts and minds of the people, make a big noise, many worried about the state affairs of the Hodget elite ran under him, soon Prince Calgart had a strong team of men and horses.

Now that Elder Princess Illinia and Prince Ernest are unable to sit on the throne, they are prepared to address the newly emerged threat of successor to the throne. On the day after Prince Calgart's arrival in Bailou Town, an order to arrest Prince Calgart and bring him back to the King's house arrest was accompanied by the disbandment of his entourage, followed by a sentence stating that, in the event of resistance, he could be killed in situ.

The Baron of the Sealed Land of White Deer Town took his private arms to Prince Calgart's camp to carry out the King's orders, which forced the Prince to strike the first shot of resistance, then seized White Deer Town and compiled a gun reserve camp, and the civil war in the Kingdom of Ovilas opened...
