Chapter 533: The Treacherous Kingdom
This is the reason why King Leonac expressed his support for William with such fanfare.
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty, I will definitely convey your kindness to my lord, the honorable Count of Denlenburg!"
King Leonac smiled slightly, showing enough attitude.
Of course, not only the Kingdom of Astra, but also the Empire of Rhodesland received this shipment, and a huge empire that was stronger than the Kingdom of Astra was thriving under the rule of the Bloody Emperor Grein.
The pockets of the nobles gradually became richer, so the nobles, who gradually indulged in pleasure and pleasure, loved porcelain more than the kingdom of Astra.
The price was even more outrageous than that of the Kingdom of Astra, and when the envoy gave Grein the three most exquisite porcelain vases like King Leonac's, Grein did not have the same price as King Leonac.
After all, he and William didn't have much intersection before, even during the Holy War, the army of the Rodland Empire was in the middle of the Holy War Army, not to mention, Greine did not personally lead the army.
So he only thanked William and said nothing else.
This is also understandable, as the iron-blooded emperor of the strongest country in the Holy Sect world, he does not need to curry favor with anyone.
And in addition to Greine, William also gave the Pope this generous gift, ten of the best huge porcelain vases, and a large number of porcelain of lower grades.
After all, these monks are different from those nobles, although they are far richer than the nobles, but William is really not good for them to spend money on them, if there is really a speculation, the face of the Pope's crown will not look good.
Therefore, William's porcelain was given exclusively to the Church and the Pope, and William also wrote a letter to the Pope about the sharing of the interests of the porcelain.
Ubaner II sat in his study, smiled and placed the letter on the table.
"This William ......" a meaningful smile flashed across Uband's old face, and his eyes flashed brightly, and then he regained his composure.
The next day, Uban II summoned a messenger sent by William, who said: "I am very satisfied with the gift given to the Holy Father by the living saint Count William! ”
"This is the respect and importance of the Holy Father, a filial child will always think of his elderly parents at home when he has precious things, how similar to the actions of Earl William!"
"But many nations are not as devout to the Holy Father as they used to be, and what a paradise it would be if every earthly king could be like our Saint Count!" ”
Uban II's words seem to refer slightly, although they are not obvious, but they undoubtedly imply a certain meaning.
Regardless of the attitudes of all parties, in short, the daimyo of porcelain was launched in the north and southeast of the continent, and as for the chaotic central and far west, William could not take care of it for the time being.
At this time, inside the kingdom, it can be said that the haze of war has condensed in the sky, a large number of troops have been gathered, and many nobles are ready to move.
Even the civilians at the lowest level felt the breath of this war and began to become panicked.
Among the nobles of the kingdom of Tskema, there was also a person who received a gift of porcelain from William.
That was the Count of Creed, the best friend of the Count of Loire, and the father-in-law of Norwen, the father of Moya.
As the father-in-law of William's vassal, he also had a relatively good relationship with him, and if William wanted to win the throne, he obviously had to get the support of other nobles.
And Count Creed, of course, is a natural ally, so William wooed him at this time.
Although William had not shown any interest in the throne before, could he fool others, and could he fool himself?
He knew the cause of King Herchard's death, and he was for the throne of the king of the Tskma Kingdom, otherwise he would have planned so much.
However, he still needs to wait, now is not the time for him to rise up and take the throne, he must first remove himself from this struggle.
There was no smell of war in Denlenburg, and all the inhabitants lived in peace and contentment under the protection of William's strong army.
However, they also knew about the situation in some kingdoms, and small military conflicts had already begun in some parts of the kingdom of Tskma.
Although it has not yet reached the level of war, it has created many displaced refugees.
In order to survive, they fled in all directions, and the wealthy city of Denlenburg became their most promising destination.
Although the civilians were wary of these refugees, the population had always been something that William could not satisfy, and any population that could provide them with productivity and military resources was what William craved the most.
In this way, tens of thousands of refugees poured into Denglenburg for refuge, and in terms of the number of refugees, the military conflict within the kingdom of Tskema involved at least 200,000 people, if not more.
William wanted to get the population, but he had other goals in mind.
The Chercers, who intend to conquer the Chercs before they compete for the throne, and bring the warlike and natural Cherkels into his rule.
And the vast pasture can raise a large number of war horses, cattle and sheep, and the strategic resources of meat and war horses will also be much more abundant, and the business of selling war horses, which has been abandoned for nearly ten years, can also be picked up again.
Although this move may cause displeasure among the Kriza, after all, the two sides are too far apart, and his target is only the Chekers.
As long as he asks the surrounding countries to put pressure on the Kriza people through the Astra Kingdom and the Church, and give the Kriza people some compensation, he can have no worries.
In fact, if you talk about it, William is not particularly afraid of the Kriza, no matter how brave the Kriza people are, the number does not exceed 200,000, although almost all of them are cavalry, but William is not muddy.
If it weren't for the fact that he would have to compete for the throne after the annexation of the Chekers, he would not have needed to make so many arrangements.
But it has to be said that the Kriza are a formidable enemy, and in a way, they are far more difficult opponents than the kingdoms of Astra and the Empire of Rhodeland.
After more than four months of training, the newly recruited soldiers in the Denlenburg army have achieved good results, and the newly recruited Iron Cross knights have gradually adapted to tactics, discipline, and training habits.
Although their performance on the battlefield may not be as good as that of the veterans of the Iron Cross Knights, they are also very skilled in cooperation, which can be useful.
What the Denglenburg infantry lack now is only the actual combat experience of the commander to kill the enemy, and if they can't go into battle to kill the enemy, even if they train for a few more months, I'm afraid they can only make a slight progress.
