Chapter 264: Middle Cherkel
Of course, William did not only design the armor of the knights, but the armor of the infantry was also very important, and it was this group of infantry that was most often fought on the battlefield.
They are the backbone of a lord, the mainstay of the battlefield.
In order to give them better protection, William deliberately modified their armor to become more deterrent and defensive.
Now the Manders infantry are uniformly wearing the same scale armor as before, and except for the old Manders infantry, everyone else is wearing their original armor.
The armor that William designed for them was really good, the whole body was composed of scales, and after it was made, it was a beautiful scale armor.
In addition to this, there is also a part of the chain mail attached to the helmet similar to that of the knights, as a defense against the neck.
Not only that, but the scale armor is interspersed with a set of leather armor, so wearing this set of armor is the same as wearing two sets of armor.
This was the armor of the Manders infantry, and the sword and shield infantry and pikemen wore this line, while the Mendean light infantry with spears had only one piece of leather armor with a layer of chain mail attached to it.
Needless to say, the archers were able to reorganize all the armed forces belonging to the Count of Loire after obtaining Denlenburg.
This included, of course, the three hundred archers with hunting bows in hand, who were weak in hand-to-hand combat.
Their hunting bows were a world away from the recurve compound bows in the hands of the Manders infantry, but the recurve compound bows were also cumbersome to make, and they couldn't make as many of them as they could use in the short term.
So they can only train daily with the Manders archers and watch how they train.
As archers who didn't need hand-to-hand combat, William didn't design better protection for them, and there was no other defensive equipment except for a set of leather armor.
Of course, the amount of trade with the Sicekers at one time was not that large, so the iron was certainly not enough to make so much armor.
Therefore, it can only start with the knights of the inner palace and slowly popularize the armor.
The heat from the fireplace was rising, the wood crackling and popping from the heat, and the heat he had escaped was wafting into the castle air.
On the recliner in William's half-asleep Yang Zi's room, taking care of the child by himself during this time was really a little stretched.
After all, he doesn't know when the child will wake up, often when he is ready to rest after coaxing the child to sleep, but suddenly finds that the child doesn't know when he will wake up again, so he wants to coax him desperately.
In short, after such a toss, William's energy is almost exhausted, and he just wants to find a place to sleep regardless of it.
Wella, who was lying on the other deck chair, thought so, after all, she did all the work such as breastfeeding, so she had very little time to rest.
Just as William was about to fall asleep from a half-dream, the child's cry came from behind, which was also their death, not allowing the servants to take the child.
William had to gather up from his chair and go to the little bed made for the two of them, and William picked up one of them and looked at it.
"This ...... Sure enough, it pulled again! β
William picked up his son Charlemagne from the bed, and after checking it, he found that it was really the child who pulled it again, which is really worthy of the name Charlemagne, and even going to the toilet is so extraordinary.
While William was overwhelmed by the child, their chief Tyriro was sitting in the middle of the hall in the royal city of Central Cherkel, receiving a man dressed in tatters.
"Are you sure? Is this information accurate? β
After hearing this, Chief Tyriro couldn't help but look at the spy in front of him with a hint of suspicion on his face, he didn't believe this information.
The tattered man, Chief Tiriro, didn't actually know him, and that man was just a double agent, he could steal anyone's information, and as long as someone else paid for it, he could get the information they wanted immediately.
In addition, he controls some people, occasionally engaging in assassination or infiltration missions.
"Honorable Chief, trust me in my credibility, it's all true, the Siche guests have abandoned their dignity and begun to trade with the Loaldians on a large scale!
He paused, then continued, "Besides, it's not a very secret thing, I'm sure you know something about it, Chief! β
Chief Tyriro nodded, as a person in power, of course he had to be flexible in his information, he still knew this kind of thing.
But in more detail, he doesn't have this ability, and he hasn't been paying attention to this matter all the time.
"The Sicekels are already a little unable to support the attack of your chieftain, and the Count of Loire has expressed his support for them when he was in power, so you didn't quickly annex it!"
After he finished speaking, Chief Tyriro couldn't help but have a little grimace on his face, and said, "You're right, but I'm not afraid of the Count of Loire, I just don't want to cause so much trouble!" β
In fact, at that time, the chief of Tyriro was really not afraid of the Count of Loire, the count was powerful, and he was not as powerful as the Middle Cherques.
Nodding, the spy agreed with Chief Butiliro's words, and continued, "But as far as I know, the trade between the Sicekr and the Lordes is quite large, and it even includes iron!" β
"What? Iron included? β
His words spurred Chief Tiliro, also a Chercher, who of course knew the importance that the Chers valued as a strategic resource.
And now, this iron has become one of the people's trade commodities, not to mention the benefits brought by commerce, the difference in relationship is what Chief Tyriro sees.
"That is, Sicekel has found an ally again? And this ally is still very strong, unlike the previous verbal support? β
Chief Tyriro understood what was going on, but he spoke anyway.
"It's a pity, but I'm afraid that's the case, honorable chief!" The spy said, turning to walk out of the hall, "You've got what you want to know from me, so I'll quit first!" β
Looking at the back of the departing Spy, Chief TyrirΓ³ pondered that he had always wanted to annex Sicekre, but this plan was always artificially thwarted when it was about to succeed.
"Zaku, what do you think of this new Count of Denlenburg, will he be an obstacle for us?"
Chief Tyriro tapped lightly on the arm of his chair, his gloomy face shining in the light of the oil lamp, and asked his ministers who were standing beside him in a low tone.
"Your Excellency, I have here a copy of the information about the new Earl of Denlenburg, you may be interested!" Zaku didn't answer right away, but said to Chief Tyrillo with a dozen documents.
