Chapter 594: Overwhelming

Such a lethality suddenly made the robbers on the wall collapse, and such terrible casualties only appeared in an instant, which is simply how a group of rabble robbers can bear.

Originally, there were only more than 500 robbers, and the casualties of more than 300 people were already more than half of the robbers.

Everyone was colliding on the walls, desperately trying to get out of this dangerous place that was almost indistinguishable from hell.

No matter how much the petty bosses tried to stop the bandits from escaping, they couldn't stop them.

Under the threat of death, they would not obey anyone's orders, and now they only have the thought of saving their own lives.

"Come back! Give me all back! Whoever dares to run again, I will definitely kill him! ”

The leader of the robbers was dressed in inferior leather armor, and on this spring day he was still wearing a thick fur outside.

In his hand he held a good quality sword, which was the spoils of his time plundering the caravan.

The source of the weapons and armor in the hands of all the robbers was from the caravans they plundered, plucked from the caravan guards.

In the past three months, they have plundered more than twenty caravans, and the value of goods is more than half a million silver coins, and if they are defeated, all these goods can become William's trophies.

William asked the royal army to suppress the bandits, mainly for the property in the hands of these robbers, and when William made the policy more extreme, he found that the kingdom had a greater need for money.

For at least the present year, William's expenditures and revenues are neutralized, and that is a deficit and deficit of more than 3.5 million silver coins.

In other words, the net expenditure for the year was more than 9.5 million silver coins, which shows how much construction William carried out throughout the kingdom of Lorik.

After William unified the kingdom of Lorik, he found that many places could not even eat due to the war, and such places spread almost to the entire area of the former kingdom of Tskema.

In desperation, William could only mobilize all the grain in the warehouse of William's Inner Palace, which was enough to gather the rations of the residents of the entire Lorick Kingdom for two years.

Of course, William lent it out, and he had to pay it back in the future.

In this way, William's grain this year can no longer be sold for money, and he must store it for emergencies.

For example, in any natural or man-made disaster, as long as you have food in your hand, you will never panic in your heart.

Therefore, William not only spent a lot more this year, but also lost his income from agriculture, which made William's finances even worse.

Finance, which had just begun to become profitable due to the advent of porcelain, once again began to run a large deficit.

Therefore, under such troubles, William also specially instructed the sergeant major sent out, telling them to bring back the spoils as much as possible to relieve the financial pressure.

As long as they survive this year, the situation will be much better next year, the merchants will come more, the casino chicken yards will all be built, and there will be no need to support the inhabitants next year, on the contrary, their harvest will be multiplied by William's method.

At that time, William's income will be more, and after selling these crops, it will also be a lot of money, and when the time comes, a large number of porcelain will be sold, and the colony will also be transfused to the Kingdom of Lorik, and the deficit next year will definitely be much smaller, and even William feels that it is possible to start a formal positive income next year.

Of course, so far this is just an idea, and the most important thing now is to let them find as much loot as possible and bring it back to relieve stress.

During this time, William could almost be said to be in a hurry, and every place was sending him documents asking for money, and the amount of money he asked for was not small.

If Norwen and they can't bring back a large amount of loot, William will soon not be able to pay the money, for William, not being able to send money is a trivial matter, William is afraid that because the country can't send money, it will make the vassals and commoners lose confidence in the country, and even despise the royal family.

Of course, it was not uncommon for the newly established royal family to not be able to pay for it, but William did not want his majesty to be humiliated by money.

However, William was not particularly difficult, because he could stop some of the construction at any time to reduce the cost, but that would slow down the construction.

And William hoped that through such a huge construction project, he could indirectly establish his own strength and majesty in the hearts of the nobles and residents of the country.

If this continues, the nobles and residents will have a feeling that the money of this king and the royal family will not be spent, and there will be a fear and loyalty.

And if part of the construction is halted due to lack of money, although the nobles and residents are still loyal to William and the royal family, they will also feel that the original king and the royal family also have limits.

Anyway, William is not confident that he is desperate yet, as long as he can survive a year, his financial situation will improve a lot.

What's more, his way to make money is not only private property, commerce, and agricultural taxes, he can completely list his royal army as a mercenary, William's army has already made a reputation, and many countries have heard of William's army for being good at war.

It is believed that as long as William announces that his troops are for hire, then a large number of orders will soon be pouring in, rebellions and counterinsurgency activities are staged all the time in the Holy Religious world, and if there is a strong army to hire, they are absolutely willing to accept a high price, because it can give them victory.

However, William has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, so there is no need to do such things that damage the national prestige.

Standing beneath the walled city, Norwin watched the bandits fleeing above, and immediately gave the order to attack.

Some soldiers armed with tomahawks rushed forward, and soon split open the wooden gate, and the royal knights and royal infantry of the Kingdom of Lorik quickly rushed into the gate.

They wreaked havoc in the camp, three-person combat teams kept searching in the camp, a large number of fleeing robbers were caught up by them and brutally killed, in fact, there is no cruelty on the battlefield at all, if you don't kill the enemy, the enemy will kill you.

Therefore, to be merciful to the enemy on the battlefield is to be cruel to oneself, these royal infantry are all veterans, of course they understand these truths, so their methods are very simple, one by one robbers will fall under the swords and spears of the royal infantry.

Bands of soldiers, under Noven's orders, began to search for the booty they had plundered the caravan, which they were to transport back to William's inner treasury to relieve the financial pressure.

They were very meticulous in their movements, and began to dig around in search for fear of missing out on the loot by missing a spot.
