Deseth looked at the soldiers in front of him, he was very confident in this battle, how could such a majestic army be able to withstand that little earl?

Although the title is not everything, and there is even a baron on the Holy Sect Road who is extremely powerful, under normal circumstances, the title is still a measure of the strength of the nobility.

He knew the strength of Count Maras when he was looking through the information in his study.

His regular army was only 600 men, and his combat effectiveness was completely incomparable to that of the royal infantry, so Delseth couldn't think of any reason for the failure of the battle.

In fact, Delseth was not an unknown division, not only because of the provocation of Count Maras, but also because his people had crossed the border to hunt again just two weeks ago, and their patrols had followed them across the border.

He knew that the governor of the Principality of Mainek had changed, and he didn't know what kind of character the new governor was, so he made this temptation.

This cross-border hunt was specially arranged by Count Maras, who wanted to see what kind of person the new governor of the Kingdom of Lorik really was, and what kind of attitude he had towards the others.

This decision was not only made by Count Maras, but also by several surrounding principalities and his vassals.

Delceth also knew what they meant, so this time he sent troops not only to expand the territory, but also to deter others.

"Soldiers! We are stationed here on the orders of His Majesty William! But Count Maras, who does not know whether he is alive or dead, dares to provoke us! This is a provocation to the dignity of the Kingdom of Lorik! It is also a neat provocation of His Majesty's majesty! ”

Delseth glanced at it, then shouted loudly: "What should we do to those who provoke the majesty of the kingdom and your majesty!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The royal infantry said in unison, they are the most loyal soldiers to William, William has a very high sense of presence in the army, coupled with the brainwashing of the magistrates, they only recognize His Majesty, and they also know that their commanders only have the right to command themselves, not ownership, they just obey His Majesty's orders to command themselves to fight, not their private property.

William made the wisest choice, as in such feudal times, the king was usually the biggest warlord in a country.

Delseth nodded as he listened to the roars of the royal infantry, and then continued, "That's right! We will exterminate all those who provoke the kingdom and His Majesty! ”

"You know! Our country has just been established, and Your Majesty has started many construction projects to make our country strong and strong! But these construction projects require money and labor! The reason we're here isn't because we're stationed in a colony! It's about expanding your territory and getting more food here! Silver coin! Population! Orc slaves! Let them build our country! ”

"Our mission is to fight hard here and plunder all the resources to feed our country! Make our country greater! Let Your Majesty be the king of kings on the continent! ”

"King of kings!"

"Give back to the country!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Plunder resources!"

This time, the cheers of the royal infantry were not as neat as the last time, but their sincerity was easily felt, and even the group of Iron Cross knights who were usually high above joined the cheers, and after years of brainwashing and the change of knights, their loyalty to William had begun to become incomparable.

Behind the royal infantry, the servant army watched the cheering royal infantrymen curiously and fearfully.

They were curious as to why the royal infantry had such earth-shattering cheers, and although they felt very good after hearing these words, they did not feel so excited.

After all, they had not experienced the atmosphere of the Kingdom of Lorik and the royal infantry, and they had no idea how much they admired and admired William.

And what is terrifying is that these seemingly fanatical royal infantrymen burst out with a momentum that is not afraid of life and death, as if they can give up their lives for their ideals.

They were aware of the power of the royal infantry, but it was the first time they had faced such a large scale of royal infantry gathered together for a shocking cheer.

They are different from the royal infantry, they are servants, and the reasons for joining the army are varied, but most of them are here for money, so they do not have the momentum of the royal infantry.

"Very high! Now, let's go! Delseth gave an order, pulled out the long sword at his waist and said.

In this way, the royal infantry, under the command of their commander, spontaneously formed a marching formation, and put all their armor on the accompanying horse-drawn carts.

Except for a layer of cotton armor and leather armor, the two and a half layers of iron armor were all removed, after all, the heavy armor weighing thirty-five kilograms, even if it was as elite as the royal infantry, would be exhausted by wearing it for several hours of marching, and it would slow down the march.

If it is a fierce battle, I am afraid that in more than two hours, the soldiers will lose their strength.

This was especially true of the Iron Cross Knights, whose armor was heavier than that of the royal infantry, weighing a full forty-five kilograms, and in addition to the armor, there were three kilograms of knightly swords and knightly shields, and four kilograms of four-meter-long cavalry spears.

Pity their war horses to bear such a weight, the weight of the knights is about 90 kilograms, plus the impermeable plate chain horse armor on the war horse is also more than 30 kilograms, plus 50 kilograms of equipment, what a terrifying burden.

If it weren't for the fact that they were all war horses from the two counties of the grassland, and had been carefully nurtured and fed by William, I am afraid that they would not have been able to make the violent charge of the Iron Cross Knights.

Now their marching speed is not very fast, and it is easy to disrupt this relatively safe marching formation that can be taken care of each other.

Anyway, the enemy was not far away from him, and even if he knew the speed of the soldiers, he did not urge the soldiers to march at a very fast speed.

Two days later, Delseth finally led his troops to the territory of Count Maras.

Although many people discovered their existence along the way, they didn't care.

Count Maras only had six hundred regular troops under his command, and it was unrealistic to recruit vassals for seven or eight days or even half a month.

Delceth came with so many troops mainly to clear some of his vassals, and he wanted to include them all in the colony, so he didn't want independent nobles to exist.

In addition, he also has to show off his muscles against other forces, which is why he brought so many troops just to deal with a small Count Maras.
