Chapter 372: Landing

The humid and hot monsoon breeze blows on the shore, and a salty and damp smell hits the face, which is the characteristic smell of the seaside.

The soldiers and knights who stepped off the wooden planks one after another cheered, and the moment they stepped on the land, they immediately felt the sense of stability brought to them by Mother Earth, and the comfort of their souls.

They finally no longer have to be on the sea, swayed by the terrifying stormy waves, they are invincible on the ground, the feeling that life is not in their own hands is gone, on land, no one dares to provoke the terrifying Denlenburg army.

However, during this time, after a whole month and a half of wandering at sea, the soldiers were exhausted, people and horses were tired, and the soldiers, knights and horses were basically very tired from seasickness.

"Oh, thank you, Holy Father, for finally leaving that damn troop carrier, where I feel like I'm going to die! I even wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the sea! I really don't know why the Earl has to go on an expedition here! ”

After jumping off the boat, Sir Rehab sat down on the beach, whining and complaining about the harsh conditions on board.

The other knights of the Inner Mansion also looked very impressed, and obviously agreed with Sir Yasuo's words.

"Then I don't mind if you jump right now!"

William's voice suddenly sounded behind Sir Yasuo, he had also experienced a very uncomfortable period of time on the ship, which caused him to be in a bad mood all the time, and this time he heard Sir Yasuo's complaints, which immediately made his mentality a little explosive.

"Oh, it's you, Lord Earl!"

When Sir Yasuo heard William's voice, he turned around in a panic like a mouse seeing a cat, and said, "I'm just talking casually!" Really casually! I don't have any opinion on your decision, Lord Earl! ”

William glanced at Sir Yasuo, sneered and said, "I see, I thought you were going to make some decision for me!" ”

With that, William left the place, surrounded by Norwen and Urimu.

"You, you! Change your mouth! ”

As he staggered past Sir Yasuo, he slapped Sir Yasuo's shoulder twice and said with hatred.

After William left, Sir Yasuo breathed a sigh of relief, and said fearfully: "Scared me to death!" I thought the Earl was going to punish me! ”

The other knights of the Inner Mansion were covering their mouths and snickering, and Sir Yasuo's appearance just now was indeed very funny.

"Laughing fart! Aren't you afraid of the Earl? ”

Sir Yasuo looked at the smiling knights of the Inner House and scolded loudly, expressing great anger at their gloating.

"But we don't always say these things like you!" A knight who seemed to have a good relationship with Sir Yasuo, wearing a military uniform that represented the status of a grand knight, said with a smile.

"You broken mouth!"

A holy spear knight who had a good relationship with Sir Rehab and commanded a wing walked over, seemed to see the whole process just now, and couldn't help but say.

"You'd better change your broken mouth! A lot of times you're really annoying! My Knight of Yasuo Shelter! ”

The knight of the holy spear said solemnly, wanting to give Sir Yasuo a piece of advice.

When William got off the boat, he asked his soldiers to set up a tent for him, and he led his vassals in the tent to prepare for the next strategy.

The vassals also grew in strength, and after conquering Issamdenburg, William granted them a number of domains, rewarded them for their merits, and strengthened them.

Now, the number of regular troops that Norwin was able to mobilize had reached about 500 men, all of whom were trained and well-armed armed infantry, and under the influence of William, he also formed an army of more than 200 archers, which also used recurve compound bows to fight.

And the Urimu is similar, commanding the four Cheker tribes and now has more than 500 light cavalry, Baron Lolisa, Baron Byer, Baron Merlin, Baron Derces, Baron Banshtersk, these vassals have a combined force of more than 3,000 people.

William himself had 4,000 trained Dunlenburg infantry, 500 light cavalry, 300 light infantry, 300 heavy infantry and 50 Golden Lion Guards, and in addition to this, William also said that the number of archers had expanded to more than 2,000, all of whom were equipped with sophisticated recurve composite bows.

Together with the 1,500-strong Iron Cross Knights, William himself had 6,650 infantry under his control, and the cavalry combined was 1,800, a huge number of 8,600.

Counting the vassals' armies, William's regular army at his disposal completely exceeded the number of 10,000, which was already comparable to the royal families of many countries, or even stronger, of course, compared with the Astra and Rhoderan Empires, or superpowers like Gilnia.

William opened a map that showed a Duchy of Maineke, which had been an ally of the Duchy of Chanketu and therefore had poor relations with the royal family of the Kingdom of Senmoriel.

The two sides have even developed to the point of fighting, so even if William attacks here, the Kingdom of Senmolel will stand by because of William's strength and the fact that it has a bad relationship with the Duchy of Maineke.

And the reason why William chose this Maineke is not only because of this, after all, the troops that William has now at his disposal are not too afraid of the strangulation of the Senmoriel Kingdom, the reason why he chose this place is only because there are quite a lot of orc tribes in the deep mountains of the Duchy of Maineke, with a population of at least hundreds of thousands.

That's why William made the Duchy of Maineke his target.

To tell the truth, the strength of the Principality of Maineke is not very strong, the regular army that can be mobilized in the whole country does not exceed 3,000 people, the population of the entire Principality is only 560,000, and the territory spans only about 100 kilometers from north to south, which is considered a small country.

William looked at the map, they were only about twenty kilometers away from the capital of the principality of Mainek, and it only took a day's long journey to reach it.

However, William did not intend to attack directly, after all, his soldiers had traveled for a month and a half, vomiting and fatigue on the ship, and they were in great need of a period of recuperation on the ground.

It will take at least half a month for the soldiers to regain their previous strength.

Therefore, William now only summoned his vassals in the tent to discuss the specific battle plan.

However, in fact, there is no good designated battle plan, after all, the current comparison of forces between the two sides is a crushing situation, as long as absolute force is used to defeat the enemy, this is very normal. 2k reading web
