Both of them were no longer young, at least in the Holy Cult World.

William was dressed incomparably gorgeously at this time, as if he was an angel coming down from the sky, incomparably graceful and luxurious, so that everyone dared not look directly.

William has struggled in this world for twenty-nine years, from the sixteen years when he came to this world, and now he is forty-five years old, he has struggled for twenty-nine years.

From a robber, he eventually became the emperor of the Lorik Empire, the largest power in the mainland, and the country he built with his own hands was finally sent to the peak by his own hands.

"My vassals! Courtiers! My relatives and friends! It's been seven years since the Norvids were wiped out by us, and the continent has finally regained its former vitality, while the eastern kingdom, the kingdom of Arisera, is still under attack by the Piars! ”

"The Holy Church world needs peace, our Holy Brothers should not be on the alarm all the time, we must completely expel the Piars, so that the Holy Cultists can go to the Holy Sepulchre at any time without worrying about the risks of the Piars!"

"What's more, the Piyards have taken too many silver coins from us every year with their spices! They are insatiable and have bankrupted many nobles because of this, and we must give them a thunderbolt blow to give up the spices, the goods that plundered our property, so that all the nobles of the Holy Religion can enjoy the spices as they please! ”

In the same month, after explaining this decision to his vassals and courtiers, William, in the name of the Holy Pope, issued a conscription order to the existing states on the main road, summoning all the Holy Religious states to wage a holy war against the Piars.

William again gathered an army of 400,000 men and began to advance towards the territory of the Piars.

Ten years ago, the Holy World of the Holy War mobilized 400,000 troops, and now William has also mobilized 400,000 troops.

But the current 400,000 is not the same as the 400,000 back then, the Lorik Empire, as the only strongest country in the Holy Religion world, has dispatched 150,000 people alone, and the invincible royal infantry has more than 100,000 people, and the combat effectiveness is far greater than at the beginning.

On the Piard side, the death of Sumor the Great led to a protracted war between the princes, which ended with the victory of Prince Saragas four years ago.

Therefore, the Piyards are now in a state of great vitality, not to mention that William does not intend to directly destroy the country of the Piars, he wants to slowly consume their strength under the repeated attacks, and then destroy them in one fell swoop, so that the Piyars race will disappear in the long river of history.

William personally led his army on an expedition, and the 400,000-strong army came to the kingdom of Arisla, beyond the border of the Piars.

At this time, the kingdom of Arisera was already much stronger, at least militarily, it was no longer inferior to the Piars, and it could occasionally fight back.

William's son, Richard, was also here, and he had mixed quite well, having become an earl with a large territory, commanding a considerable number of troops, and having married the only daughter of Bedwin IV a year earlier.

In fact, it would not have been for the fact that Bedwin IV was suffering from leprosy, a serious illness that was almost incurable in his time, and he could not have had only one daughter.

But leprosy kept him out of contact with the air, let alone intercourse, so he had only one daughter born before he fell ill.

In other words, when he died, Richard was the heir to the king, and William really didn't expect that his son would be able to fight to this point.

Although he knew that Richard's talent was not much worse than Charlemagne, but after all, his identity was still illegal, and in his opinion, being able to become an earl was already a top achievement, but who knew that this son of his knew that he had given himself such a big surprise and became the heir of the king, the future king.

And William's letter also secretly decided to leave more places for Richard, so that Richard could include him in his command.

At this time, William was engaged in an all-night conversation with Bedwin IV in his study, the contents of which were so secret that no one but the two of them knew about it.

This conversation was called the secret talk of the Holy King by later historians, and countless historians went one after another to find some clues from various documents and materials, but they never found a way.

No one knew what the two had been talking about, except that His Majesty the Emperor William had a rather happy expression when he came out of the study, which was rumored to come from the mouth of the guard who was guarding the study at the time.

The next day, William led his army in the direction of the Kajisai dynasty, and Prince Saragas had already received the news and gathered the other sultanates to gather their armies to prepare for the war.

Although the Pials have experienced a lot of internal strife, they also have their own pride, and they do not believe that they will fail after a long time of fighting against the Holy Religion.

What's more, Prince Saragas has just ascended to the throne, and he doesn't want to lose all his prestige because of a fiasco, for him, he can't afford to lose.

At the beginning, he did not hesitate to use despicable means to do such a rebellious thing as assassinating his father, which shows how important the position of Sultan is to him.

The two sides gathered their troops to confront each other on the border, and William did not hesitate to order an attack.

Half a month later, the war was finally decided, and the jihadist coalition led by William broke the Piar army and advanced a full 150 kilometers to the east.

The two sides signed a fifty-year peace agreement on the condition that the Piars provide spices to sell to the Holy Church at low prices and pay annual gold coins.

After this war, William's prestige rose to a new level, and all the Loerdes knew that the most powerful and wise ruler was the Emperor William of the Lorique Empire. Wallace.

Four years later, King Bedwin IV of the Kingdom of Arisella died in the city of Arisla, and William buried his entrails in the Holy City Crypt for his exploits against the Piars, where he rested with the Popes.

In July 1253 of the Holy Rodran Empire, the bloody emperor of the Holy Rodland Empire, Grein. Franz died in the city of Debreyen, and the crown prince de Cre succeeded him as emperor.

After the holy war, the Piyards had already suffered a huge blow, and they were unable to invade the kingdom of Arisera again, but the kingdom of Arisera had expanded rapidly and gradually stabilized after receiving the 150 kilometers of land ceded by the other party.

At this time, news came from the Grand Duchy of Križa, who had died in September 1253 at the age of sixty-eight.

William was grieved, but he still supported his brother to the position of Grand Duke of Ksla.

At this point, half of the kings of the Holy Religion World were members of the Wallace family, or vassal states of the Lorik Empire, officially establishing the hegemony of the Lorik Empire for hundreds of years to come. ()
