While William was actively strengthening his control and developing the newly acquired territory, Arthur's side was also in good shape.

He actually annihilated the 20,000 Norvid soldiers stationed in the territory of the kingdom of Astra by means of guerrilla warfare.

In other words, the huge territory of the Astra Kingdom has been completely controlled by him, and in addition to the Astra Kingdom, several of his states are also included in the Camelot Kingdom.

Now, there are not many countries left on the continent, only a few countries in the south and a few countries in the east have survived.

The eastern and northern countries were all wiped out, the western countries were all wiped out by the Norvidians, and the northern countries were left with only one kingdom of Camelot, which was consolidating its territory.

Because the countries on the continent are all suffering from vitality, the Kingdom of Carmellot has now become the third largest country after the Kingdom of Lorik and the Empire of Rhodeland.

This was something that Arthur had never thought of before this war, although he had the title of Saint King in the Northern Continent, but in his heart he only thought that it was forged to regain the kingdom of Camelot.

However, at this time, his name as the Holy King became his most advantageous weapon, and the northern inhabitants lived in dire straits, and Arthur, who had the title of Holy King, was the savior in their hearts.

Anyone who opposed Arthur would not have the support of the inhabitants, so Arthur quickly took over a large amount of land and people.

He collected a great deal of his wealth into the royal palace, built a powerful army, and advanced to the west.

He still doesn't dare to touch the central territory for the time being, the Rhoderan Empire is still there, even if it has suffered huge losses and trauma, but its strength is not comparable to the small Carmellot Kingdom.

As for the central side, it is the sphere of influence of the Lorik Kingdom, not to mention that they can't touch it with the Rhodeland Empire in front of them.

William has been in a pretty good mood lately, as he has made a fortune by beating the Norweeds.

They plundered the road for more than a year, and all the northern and western countries were destroyed, and all the grain and wealth were plundered, which shows what a lot of money this is.

Since William went to rescue the Rhoderan Empire, the money had nothing to do with the Rhodesan Empire, and all of it fell into William's hands.

Up to now, William's tax collectors have not counted the value of this wealth, but so far it has been converted into more than 8 million gold coins, and it is conservatively estimated that this wealth can reach more than 10 million gold coins.

Even if the future kingdom of Lorik has no financial revenue for a hundred years, it will be enough to support the kingdom for a hundred years, although it may be poor, but it will never perish.

With this amount of money, William was even more confident, and after the destruction of the Norvidians, no country in the entire continent could confront him.

He no longer cares about the Rhodesan Empire, and although the mercenaries in the central part of the country have rushed to the western part of the continent, which no longer has a government, trying their luck to see if he can establish a country anywhere, William still doesn't care about them.

As the largest country in the current Holy Religion world, the territory of the Lorik Kingdom is already about the same size as the entire Western Continent, spanning more than 1,700 kilometers from east to west, which is the size of the Celestial Empire in William's previous life.

After all, he has annexed the territories of several countries, and it is no longer the original kingdom of Lorik.

Arthur looked out into the distance from the royal palace in Camelot City, and he seemed very happy that he had been able to incorporate a large number of territories during this time.

Windsor is standing by his side, the two have been married for more than three years, Windsor has given birth to a son and a daughter for him, and the relationship between the two is very good.

Arthur grabbed Windsor's hand, looked at the scene outside the castle and said, "Windsor, I will make you one of the most honorable women on this continent!" ”

"Our son will also be a great king! And that's just the beginning! ”

Arthur said in high spirits, and Windsor snuggled up in her husband's arms with a smile on her face.

But her state of mind did not match her current expression at all, she was a little worried in her heart, and she still knew a little about the situation on the continent now.

The Rhodeland Empire has suffered a huge blow and has fallen to the altar of the first power in the mainland, and the current number one power is no longer the Rhodeland Empire, but the mother country of Windsor, the Kingdom of Lorik.

And the idea that her husband wants to make himself one of the most noble women is indeed very good and ambitious.

But if he really wants to do this, it will inevitably come into conflict with the kingdom of Lorik, with his mother country, with his father.

If it really develops more clearly, maybe the two sides will still fight each other, and the enemy will be on the battlefield, and his brother and father will have to fight against their husbands.

On both sides are the people closest to her, and she will definitely not feel good in the middle.

But this is inevitable after all, as a woman, there is nothing she can do to prevent such a thing from happening, but she can only silently pray to the Holy Father in her heart that this kind of thing will not happen.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, winter is coming, goose feathers and snow are falling from the sky, and merchants from the south come to the kingdom of Lorik to do business.

The business of the capital, which was originally extremely sluggish, gradually began to prosper, of course, it cannot be compared with the business situation before the war.

After all, many countries have been destroyed, and where the Norvids plundered, the merchants simply did not have time to come to the kingdom of Lorik to do business.

Only those unspoiled countries in the South were able to send merchants to distant lands.

William looked at the heavy snow falling outside the window, and suddenly felt that there was nothing left to pursue in life, the position of the first power in the mainland had been obtained, and no one could compete with him.

The Rhodeland Empire is no longer a threat to itself, and although the Kingdom of Carmellot is still rising, it has not really become a climate after all, so William found that he had no enemies.

The Kingdom of Lorik, which controls three-quarters of China's size, is a well-deserved continental overlord, with more than 20 million inhabitants, and a new huge empire that rules an area larger than the original Dells Empire has appeared on the continent.

And when the winter was coming to an end, news came from the Church that Pope Uban II had not survived the harsh winter.

Finally, on the afternoon of January 7, 1241, he died in the Holy City at the age of sixty-four, and the Church compiled his personal order for posterity.

His body was disposed of, all the entrails were removed, and he was buried in a burial chamber in the Holy City of the Church.

And the church is also beginning to panic, everyone has their own thoughts, after the death of the pope, there is no assignment of the next pope, every cardinal and cardinal wants to be this pope.
