In fact, this is not the main reason, as an empire of another school of faith, Kyrnia is almost isolated from the entire holy world, including trade and diplomacy, and basically cannot communicate with the holy world.

In addition, they, like the kingdom of Arisra, are next to the Piars, and they will also face attacks from the Piars all year round.

Don't look at them as the wall of the east, resisting the attack of the Piars, but they know how difficult it is for them to face the offensive of the Piars, not to mention, many times

Even the Holy Church world will attack them, and if they can get the friendship of the Church, then the situation will be much different.

Not to mention getting support from the Holy Sect World, at least don't face their attacks, then they can relieve a lot of pressure.

The Kyrnian Empire is now in decline, no longer ruling over thousands of kilometers of territory, and they have lost the glory of their ancestors.

The order of the Church has come again, and these countries have been deployed separately by the Church, and the kingdoms of Tskema and White Rose have been divided into the kingdom of Astra.

The first thing William had to do was to go to Brijek City and gather with the army of the past and all the nobles in the Kingdom of Tskema, and then go to the Kingdom of Astra together.

William walked to the military camp in the city, and saw 4,400 Denlenburg infantry fully armed, wearing heavy and powerful armor, holding armor-piercing spears with a meter of spear head alone, and some of them holding swords and shields in their hands, standing neatly in the field.

Once again, their discipline was revealed, and they stood like iron men poured out of steel, standing still under the blowing of the cold wind of early winter.

The 3,000 archers, on the other hand, were dressed in light leather armor, with sturdy pot helmets on their heads, quivers on their backs, and recurved compound bows in their hands, in the same neat procession, standing still.

The same is true for the crossbowmen, whose equipment is almost identical to that of the archers, with the biggest difference being that they have a large shield on their backs.

This is William's reference to the equipment of his Western European crossbowmen in his previous life, this large door shield is behind their backs, and when they turn their backs to wind the crossbow, they can protect the door shield and disable the enemy's long-range power.

I have to say that the person who invented this method is indeed very witty, and even this kind of door shield has become a standard configuration of crossbowmen in the impression.

The heavy infantry, light cavalry, and knights all stood together in a neat row, and even the horses under their crotches did not make much movement under their constraints.

This is the result of the discipline that William has always emphasized, no matter what kind of troops, even if it is a light cavalry that does not have too high requirements for discipline, William's discipline requirements for them are also very high.

The most important thing in the army is not how brave the soldiers are, and the most important thing for the soldiers is not how superb their combat effectiveness is, but the rigor of discipline and the ability to strictly and efficiently carry out the orders of their superiors.

In addition to them, William also sent a series of vassal armies to wait, and the armies of all the nobles under William's command added up to about 5,000 regular armed infantry, and the knights were able to make up about 600, counting those servants, maybe more.

This is a large combat force, William's direct army is about 12,000 people, plus the army of this group of vassals, William's army is directly nearly 20,000.

Now that William can control more troops than the entire Tskma Kingdom can indicate, he is no longer afraid of the so-called Mu Xiu Yu Lin.

Looking at these heroes, William couldn't help but feel very proud, this is the most intuitive embodiment of all the efforts he has made in the past seventeen years.

William took his vassals and slowly walked towards the front of the soldiers.

"Soldiers, there is no doubt that this is a holy war, and you will reap the glory and comfort of your soul in this war, and remember that this is a war for the Holy Father, and if you die on the battlefield, your souls will ascend to heaven and become the Father's people, and your family will be taken care of by Me, and your family will receive the benefits that match your sacrifice!"

"So, let's fight with all our might! This time it's not against our Lorde brothers, it's against the infidels who don't respect the Holy Father! You'll get what you want! Let's fight! ”

William shouted loudly, and the soldiers were just as excited, and they shouted loudly, "Wan Sheng! Count, Victory! The army of Denglenburg is invincible! ”

The shouts shook the sky, startling the citizens far away outside the barracks, and almost the entire castle could hear their terrifying cries.

In this way, amid the high morale of the soldiers, William led his troops out of the barracks and out of the city.

Along the way, the Denlenburg army marched out of the castle with great vigor and footsteps.

At this time, the outside of Denlenburg was also very prosperous, in fact, the outside of the castle was much more prosperous than the inside of the castle.

Over the years, through William's governance, the population of Denlenburg has grown explosively, and at the beginning, only 20,000 or 30,000 people could accommodate Denlenburg, but now, there are at least 100,000 people in Denlenburg.

These hundreds of thousands of people could not be accommodated by the narrow walls of Denlenburg, so these people carried out various constructions outside the walls of Denlenburg, and William was supportive of this situation.

There is an old Chinese saying that the so-called "most cities are defenseless", which means that the large capital is not protected by city walls.

The reason for this is that the population is growing and developing too fast to build the city walls.

This is the case in Düllenburg today, where houses, hospitals, casinos, taverns, and other buildings are slowly being built outside the city of Dürlenburg all the time.

This is the same as the former Denlenburg, where there are various buildings outside the main fort and the city walls.

The current walls of Denlenburg, like the former main fort, are supported by many buildings.

Outside the castle became more and more prosperous, the longest street even stretched for four or five kilometers, and groups of caravans came to the most prosperous capital of Dülenburg to do business.

William walked out of the city with his army, and the contact between the stone road and the armor boots produced a lot of noise, and with the increase in numbers, there was a very loud footsteps.

The merchants, pedestrians, and residents looked at the army in front of them, as well as the Phnom Penh Iron Cross flag fluttering at the front, and the powerful figure under the Iron Cross flag, and their eyes showed admiration.

They retreated to the sides of a stone road fifteen meters wide and waited for the departure of the Denlenburg army.

In other areas, there are also quite a few non-military armed forces who are preparing to participate in the jihad.

These include ruffians, hooligans, wandering knights, wandering robbers, and some solo mercenaries or organized mercenary groups.

They wanted riches, booty, and forgiveness of past sins in the jihad.
