Bansztersk's heart suddenly sank, no matter how approachable William usually was, but at this moment, he did rule a noble manor, and he was still his courtier, not even a vassal.

"I see! I'm going to get ready now! Banstesk hurriedly said.

William nodded with satisfaction, and watched him go down to arrange, it was not without benefit to knock him like this, at least it would not make him breed any bad thoughts.

After disbanding the heavy infantry, William asked the soldiers to intensify their training and retrain them before the battle.

"Vidal, prepare enough food for five hundred people to eat for half a month, and when the Earl's order arrives, we will set off immediately!" William said to Vidal, who is now in charge of coordinating the army's logistics.

"Understood, my lord, I'll do it!" Vidal nodded, now that he had become very skilled in these things, he would definitely be one of William's important ministers in the future.

"Ah, yes, there's one more thing!" William stopped Vidal, who was about to go out: "Delseth, he should have taught Marco and Duvens a lot of heavy cavalry techniques, let him wait until the army is drawn to follow you as a deputy!" ”

William didn't intend to let Delseth have the slightest contact with the army from the beginning, his identity was too sensitive, and Banstesk had already been appointed by William, so it was even more impossible for both of them to have military power.

In fact, it only takes a few days to get from Mandes Manor to Denlenburg, and after arriving in Denlenburg, the Count is responsible for supplying all the food and grass.

However, for the sake of insurance, William still asked Vidal to prepare half a month's food.

In fact, there are a lot of things to prepare, not only the food that people eat, but also the alfalfa grass eaten by the war horses, which must be mixed with soy material, and even a few eggs to supplement the nutrition of the war horses when they are fighting.

So the miscellaneous stuff took up a lot of space, and by the time everything was arranged, it was already two days later.

Fortunately, there were enough horses in the territory, and dozens of wagons were put together to transport all kinds of supplies and the armor of the knights and cavalry.

Although William asked Vidal to prepare food, he used all the grain stored in the manor's treasury, and did not touch the food of the people at all, so it seemed that storing enough food was the right choice.

What's more, if he robs the people of the grain, then in the cold winter, I don't know how many people will freeze to death, so what is the use of him spending money to buy people.

The soldiers also learned from their officers that the war was coming, and the recruits were a little frightened, and the veterans were excited.

They have been on the battlefield more than once, they are all old fritters who have rolled on the battlefield, the time they beat Baron Dale, the time they fought the mercenary Bruno, and they fought with Viscount Cowen, escorted the caravan to the side of the Chekels, and more than once encountered bandit gangs and bandit camps.

These veterans have become more experienced in the course of a year, and if it were not for the army that fought frequently, it would be difficult to withstand the momentum in front of them.

Not to mention the sophisticated equipment that the Baron Lord has equipped them with, this is iron armor, and the heavy and thick armor gives them a confidence that no other soldier will ever have.

They are very confident in their own strength, the Baron Lord provides them with such good food and drink, coupled with the brutal training every day, even if they have the same equipment as the enemy, they will not lose, not to mention that they can completely crush the equipment.

With such training, such physique, and such equipment, they believe that the only thing they need to do on the battlefield is to keep slaughtering the enemy.

Therefore, during this time, the morale of the veterans in the camp was very high, and they kept wiping and maintaining their weapons, discussing how many enemies they could kill this time, and how much reward they could get from the Baron.

It was as if the enemies had become a flock of lambs to the slaughter, waiting for them to kill, and it is estimated that this is true in their hearts now, and they regard the enemy as their own ATM.

William is of course a supportive attitude towards such an atmosphere, and the Qin army, who was invincible in his previous life, is also in such a mental state, but it is not good to be too optimistic, so William asked the officers to keep telling the soldiers that the enemy is not weak, but we are strong, so we must go all out, if you accidentally die, there is no bounty.

As for the recruits, they are a little frightened, although they have also received training, but after all, they have just left the status of serfs, and their vision has not yet reached the level of veterans, and the heart disease that has not been tempered by war is like this, no matter what kind of training they receive, there is an insurmountable gap with the veterans.

The tempering of war here does not refer to going to the battlefield, the battlefield has basically been on the battlefield in this era, and William is talking about the real hard battle, the hard battle that can allow the soldiers to establish our invincible faith.

During the year, the soldiers experienced a lot of battles, and they never lost each battle, relying on their excellent equipment, often crushing the opponent's situation, so they were never afraid of the enemy.

The recruits are different, they have never experienced such a one-sided war, and ordinary weapons fighting is different from such a large-scale war, so it is normal to be afraid.

To be honest, William didn't intend to send this group of recruits to the battlefield, and it would be murder for soldiers who had just been training for a few months and were not fully equipped to let them go to the battlefield so hastily.

It is true that their combat effectiveness has surpassed that of most soldiers due to training, but this is from the point of view of cost performance, what is the cost of other people's soldiers? And what was the cost of William's soldiers?

Don't say one for one, even one for two, William is distressed to death, not to mention equipment, just food, in terms of cost, William's soldiers are other soldiers' several times.

Therefore, they are not destined to be the protagonists of this war, and the veterans are the real main force on the battlefield.

Three tall horses galloped along the path of Manders, and the swift speed of the horses caused the lords to dodge, and they held their feet in front of the manor.

The three soldiers above jumped off their horses, walked to the door of the manor wall, and said: "We are the messenger of the Count of Loire, and the Count has launched a call for vassals, asking Baron William to bring a force of no less than one hundred and fifty men, and within twelve days, report to the Count!" Here's the command file! As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of parchment from the leather tube around his waist.

The guards at the gate hurriedly took the papers, and the three messengers rode away again, they had other lords to be notified.

"Is the order coming? Okay, I got it! William glanced at the parchment.

"Vidal! The order went down, and the army began to assemble, the cavalry units and the knights were assembled, the heavy infantry and the Golden Lion Guards were assembled, and the infantry were assembled and waited outside the manor for my lecture. William shouted to Vidal.

Vidal hurried down to give the order.
