Chapter 698: The Birthday Feast Begins
William looked at Arthur in front of him, he was no longer the slightly young man he was at the beginning, although only a year had passed, but he seemed to be much more mature, and it could be seen that he had been tempered a lot in the year he was king.
Arthur looked at William and said with some emotion: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect us to meet here a year later!" ”
William waved his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Haha, how are you in the Carmellot Kingdom now?" ”
"Very good!" Arthur said: "With your help, I have mastered the entire territory of the Camelot Kingdom, and now I am mainly restoring the order of the place, and I have revised it according to the code you formulated before and combined with the national conditions of the Camelot Kingdom to prepare for implementation!" ”
William nodded, and Arthur's attitude towards him was not like two equal kings talking, but like a junior reporting to an elder.
William nodded, waiting for him to continue.
Sure enough, Arthur, after saying something, said, "Your Majesty...... First of all, my kingdom of Carmellot has gradually stabilized, and I would like to ask, can I marry Windsor now? ”
William looked at Arthur with a smile, looking a little uncomfortable, but in order to maintain the king's bearing, he still stared at William's eyes.
Looking at Arthur's determined eyes, William nodded and said, "Okay, you are all grown up, I know that you have always been in correspondence, and when these things are over, we will decide on a date, and I will marry Windsor to you!" ”
Arthur was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely give Windsor a most gorgeous wedding, and I will definitely be good to him!" ”
William smiled and waved his hand and said, "I believe you, let's put this matter aside for a while, I heard that your situation has not been very good recently?" ”
Arthur's face was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he knew that William's intelligence organization was all over the continent, and he couldn't hide this from him, so he told the truth.
"Yes, Your Majesty, my two neighboring principalities have recently reached a marriage alliance, and they want to take advantage of the fact that I have just recaptured the kingdom to seize my territory!"
William smiled: "You don't have to worry, tell me the truth, I plan to marry my daughter to you, I don't want my daughter to be an exile queen!" ”
Arthur listened to William's words with some other meanings, and said frankly: "My current situation is indeed not very good, they have marched to the border of my territory, where my army has organized a defensive line, and the two sides are facing off!" ”
"This time Emperor Greine invited everyone to his birthday banquet, and those two dukes are also here, otherwise I am afraid I will not be able to come!"
"They probably mobilized a total of more than 7,000 regular troops and more than 10,000 serf conscripts, and more than 800 knights, if it weren't for the fact that spring plowing is approaching now, I'm afraid they can mobilize more serfs!"
"And in addition to the 1,200 Red Dragon Guards and 300 Dragon Prince Cavalry, I only have 1,500 regular army soldiers and 400 knights, and because the Kingdom of Carmellot has experienced a protracted war, I don't have much food in my hands!"
After hearing this, William groaned slightly, he didn't expect Arthur to face such a difficult situation, after all, although his intelligence organization has a wide branch, it only has very strong intelligence capabilities in a few surrounding countries.
In such a remote place in the Kingdom of Camelot, William really couldn't mobilize too many resources to support their intelligence activities, so William only knew a little about the situation, but he didn't know in detail.
After listening to Arthur's story, he realized that the situation had reached this point.
After a pause, he said to Arthur: "I would like to help you, but now the kingdom of Lorik has only just been established, and the situation is not very good!" ”
"So the support I can give you is also limited, I can give you a good batch of armor, my blacksmith has made a lot of it during this time, in addition to this, I can support you with a batch of food, but the amount will not be too much!"
"As for the troops...... You know that most of my army has been sent out, and I can ask my vassals to send troops to support you, but you may have to give some benefits! ”
Arthur was overjoyed when he heard William's words, he didn't even plan to ask William for help, and the enemy might not be able to attack his territory according to the current situation.
After the conversation, Arthur walked out of William's room with a smile on his face.
William was very appreciative of this young man, in addition to the fact that he was indeed a good and potential person, and he also had the same name as the famous King Arthur in his previous life.
Even his setting is similar to that of King Arthur, and the legend of the sword in the stone is almost to the point of being known to everyone even in his previous life.
In the past few days, Charlemagne has also secretly met with Illya several times, and finally, Emperor Grayne's birthday banquet began.
On the first of February, the grand birthday feast finally began, and the whole palace became magnificent, with all kinds of gorgeous decorations hanging in the palace.
A large number of nobles gathered in the huge hall, most of the nobles on the continent came here, the low-ranking nobles followed their feudal lords, and the high-ranking nobles directly received the invitation of Emperor Greine.
In fact, this birthday banquet is not only an ordinary celebration, but also has his political significance.
As the largest power on the mainland, the Rhodesan Empire has a huge appeal in the Holy Religion world, and its population of 35 million gives them the most powerful national power.
Holding this birthday banquet also means to warn the church, although I have listened to your words, it does not mean that I am really convinced by you, let you see my influence, don't go too far.
Before the birthday feast began, the hall was filled with busy servants, holding trays of all kinds of precious ingredients in their hands.
Countless delicacies and wines were brought to the table, and clowns performed on the spot, amusing everyone with their antics of amusement.
The troubadours, on the other hand, played with their bala, and to the tune of the bala, they sang the praises of various psalms.
Some of the world's most famous psalms record a certain historical period or historical story, or sing their own psalms.
They may sing the praises of poignant love stories, or they may praise the heroic knights, in short, the range of performances is quite wide.
William hadn't arrived yet, and a heavyweight task like theirs wouldn't be there until after the banquet had officially begun.
At this time, Charlemagne was looking for Illya, as the princess of the Empire, she was sitting among the young female nobles of the Rhodesan Empire.
She was like the brightest moon in the sky, and the aristocratic maidens around her were stars, setting off her beauty and nobility. 2k reading web
