At this moment, a tall young man wearing a well-made set of composite armor of piercing armor and scale armor stood up from the ground. Reading at zero o'clock

His voice was loud and loud, overshadowing the voices of everyone in the room, and he said, "Chief, I am willing to lead the army to attack that Count Loald!" And I'll be sure to bring his head back to you! ”

When everyone saw the young man speak, they shut their mouths, for the young man was officially the eldest son of Chief Tiliro.

And the other second sons who were eager to try it were also silenced because of his words.

Chief Tiliro looked at his young, high-spirited son, with a proud smile on his face, which had been carved by the years, and this enterprising and intelligent eldest son gave him no regrets.

He got up from his chair and said, "Very well, Samuel, you will take your own personal guard and command these five thousand, and I will select a hundred from the chieftain's guard and give it to you to command!" ”

"Yes, Chief Chief! I don't think I need so many men to fight the cowardly Loalds, give me three thousand warriors to defeat them! ”

It seems that Samur wants to carry out the pretense to the end, but after all, he is the son of Chief Tyriro, and Chief Tyliro does not blame him too much for his recklessness and underestimation of the enemy, but says: "No, even if you think that 5,000 people are too much, you must bring at least 4,000 men, otherwise I will not allow you to fight!" ”

In the halls of Denlenburg, William was still discussing with his vassals.

The dim light lit them up, and William spoke: "Our enemies have more than 1,600 cavalry, and more than 8,000 ordinary soldiers, and among these soldiers there may be a number of enemies who can ride horses. ”

"And we only have more than 3,000 now, and the West Çeker side can send an army of about 5,000 men, but they are asking us to join them and launch an attack on the Middle Çekers."

The crowd listened to William's words and did not express their opinions, because they knew that William was not asking for their opinions, but that he already had opinions to announce to himself and others.

Sure enough, after a pause, William continued: "I don't intend to join them, because I don't trust them, I only trust ourselves, and if we don't converge, it is very likely that the Middle Cherquers will divide up and fight, so that the elite forces we have will have an advantage!" ”

What William did not say was that if the two sides converged, then the Central Chekers would not divide their forces, and in that case, the casualties would probably be much greater.

Although William had formed an alliance with the Sicekrians, he did not want to weaken the Central Cekers and let the Sicecors rise.

Any powerful regime in the vicinity is not what he wants and is not in his interests, so it is better for him to defeat the army of the Central Chekr and the West Chekr to be defeated.

In this way, William will be able to get the maximum benefit.

It's not that he's despicable, any nobleman would do it if he could, after all, it was in his own interests, and no one would really be stupid enough to give up his own interests for the sake of his so-called allies.

William, on the other hand, had already sent a messenger to inform the Sichekers that they had set out.

At this time, Sicekel had already gathered his forces under the summoning of the chief of Mutus, and nearly 5,000 men marched towards the territory of the Middle Cekers.

Dressed in armor and with a tasseled helmet on his head, Samuel rode on a tall warhorse, followed by more than 900 soldiers on horseback.

Of course, there were not many trained regular troops, only about 300 men, and among these 300 there were 100 chieftains, and the remaining 600 or so were all herdsmen with war horses.

Although their combat effectiveness is much better than that of the militia, they are still quite different from the knights, or the heavy cavalry.

Their only reliance is the war horse under their crotch, and with the help of the war horse, they are still the biggest threat to the infantry without formation.

The force of more than 4,000 men still looked very large, and they marched in this way on the vast meadows, in the direction where William had arrived.

And William, too, led the troops slowly in the direction of the enemy, and the military chickens were left by him at the junction of Denlenburg, and the war was about to begin, and the only non-combatants in the army were the more than 100 military doctors recruited by William.

Even the merchants who accompanied the army were driven away by William, and he wanted the soldiers to fight without distraction.

Now that they are all wearing their own armor, although the heavy armor will quickly deplete the physical strength of the soldiers, and will also reduce the speed of the march, it is very useful in the face of unexpected events.

After all, they are now in the territory of the enemy, they have no idea what is going on here, and no one knows when they will encounter the enemy.

The heavy armor on the knights was neatly dressed with the help of the servants, and the horses were also dressed in horse armor, except that they were still riding on horses, and there was no difference from the state of battle.

The troops, which had previously looked brisk, but had relatively good discipline and no other characteristics, suddenly changed their appearance at this time, and no one would doubt their combat effectiveness with the armor and equipment on their bodies.

In order to maintain their physical strength, William deliberately slowed down his march, and after every five kilometers they marched, they would rest in place for about an hour.

Just as the troops had rested for an hour, and William was about to give the order to disengage, a cameo sentry from the heavy cavalry sent by William came back to report to him.

"Lord Earl, I found a huge force about ten kilometers in front of us, their number is about three or four thousand, the number of cavalry is large, there are about ** hundred, and the rest are relatively strong-looking infantry, which is coming in our direction!"

Hearing the sentry's report, William hurriedly got up from the ground, knowing that the sentry would not lie about such a thing again.

"Norwen! Urimu! Beyer! Merlin! All up! End of the break! Manders Infantry! Strike in battle formation! The archers were behind the Manders infantry, the knights were mounted, and the heavy infantry was on standby by my side! Light infantry covers on both flanks! ”

"All nobles, take your army, give me two wings of the five ranks, where are you in charge! Definitely can't let me down! ”

William knew that if he encountered such a large army in the enemy's territory, it would definitely be the enemy's army, and he would have to wait for his work.

Samuel was advancing with his troops, and suddenly, a black object appeared in his eyes.

After a closer look, he found that it was not anything, but a dense military formation!

The strange army that appeared on his own meadow, then there was no doubt that this was their enemy, and his target this time, William, Earl of Lourdes.
