What's more, after the Duchy of Maineke was governed by Baron Nair, agriculture and commerce were very prosperous, after all, his policy was almost exactly a copy of William's practice in the kingdoms of Denlenburg and Lorik.

That's why Delseth dared to gather so many troops all the time to act recklessly in Maras County.

No matter how drastic the movements in the area of the Principality of Mainek were, the impact on the Kingdom of Lorik was not very great.

At this time, William had already dispatched a large number of orc slaves to mine the two newly discovered iron mines.

After being smelted in a blast furnace, it became a furnace of high-quality steel, and under the blacksmith's craft, it became a armor rich in the style of Lorique.

Plate breastplates and arm armor were made one after another, and chain mail chain mail could also be sold separately, scale armor, and half-body full-body armor.

Of course, William also provided a set of matching schemes, which were matched with the same armor of the royal infantry, and a set was six hundred silver coins.

Such armor is very suitable even for armed elite knights, and even some high-ranking nobles.

William knew very well that such equipment was definitely not something that ordinary soldiers could equip, and the extremely high price of six hundred silver coins required even the nobles to hesitate cautiously when buying it.

And the knight class, then don't think about it, they are also very poor, what can a village of miners do?

It's already good enough to support their training and maintenance equipment, so they basically can't afford to buy expensive equipment.

Some of the cheaper, high-quality chainmail was still more suitable for them, and the high-quality chainmail produced by the Kingdom of Lorik was much stronger than the chainmail made by their ordinary ironsmiths who were not very skilled.

In addition, the chain mail produced by the Kingdom of Lorik is generally a five-ring chainmail, which is much stronger than the four-ring chainmail they use.

And the cost is not so high, even if it is transported to various countries with some transportation costs, it is much better than other armor in terms of cost performance.

William also arranged a kind of armor for ordinary soldiers, the main body was still woven from high-quality iron, but the limbs were only a layer of tanned leather armor, and only leather armor was used as protection on the back.

Of course, ordinary soldiers could not be armed with such good armor, and their masters could not afford to spend that much money to buy armor for them.

As for why it is not chain mail behind it, the explanation given by William is that the soldiers on the battlefield only need to use their own frontal to meet the enemy, and only need to use their backs to the enemy when they escape.

And do deserters on the battlefield still need to protect them? William's words were agreed by many people, so the sales were not bad.

His armor was already famous on the road, and many countries wanted to ask for William's armor but couldn't.

Now William has begun to sell armor with great fanfare, which makes many people flock to it.

In a short period of time, William received many orders.

The Lordland Empire ordered William a batch of 400 sets of Iron Cross Knight-style armor, which was calculated according to 1,000 silver coins per set, which was the income of 400,000 silver coins.

Together with the two thousand sets of the same armor of the royal infantry, the total is 1.4 million silver coins.

This money is nothing to the Lordland Empire, there is still no pressure to pay this amount of money, and what he urgently needs now is to improve the strength of his army.

The Blood Emperor Greine was so urgent to resist the pressure of the Church.

This matter was supposed to be an inconsequential matter, but the Emperor of the Rodland Empire, Grein, made a big fuss about it.

The reason for this is that after a viscount's daughter married her fiancé, her husband discovered that his wife was not a pure virgin.

When her husband angrily asked him whose hands he had lost his virginity, the woman said that he had fallen in love with a young abbot of a monastery before his marriage and had given him his body.

Just as he was furious and trying to settle accounts with the dean, he suddenly died at a banquet, and according to the examination of the body, he died of poisoning.

In other words, he was killed by someone with poison, and at this time, someone suddenly reported that the dean had appeared at the scene of the crime.

The father of this aristocratic boy was very angry, after all, it was his heir and his eldest son, and as a real earl, he was also very powerful.

It was only to assist Greine that he stayed in the capital.

He was furious and explained the incident to Greine, and that night the abbot of the monastery died in an assassination.

By the time he was found the next morning, he had a dagger in his chest, and his body had already turned purple from blood loss, and it was clear that he had drained his blood after a night's time.

How could such a thing not anger both sides, the death of the abbot in an assassination attempt was undoubtedly a humiliation to the Church.

The Count's son was killed and cuckolded, which was also absolutely intolerable, and in this way, the relationship between the Church and the Rhoderan Empire, which had just been eased, became tense again.

In fact, William should not have accepted this order at this time, William had already made up his mind to follow the church as a junior brother, and accepting an order from the Rodland Empire at this time would be no different from a second and fifth boy.

Greine did not give this order without consideration, and in such a confrontation, some ordnance could not actually play a decisive role.

He was trying to get over in disguise, and William certainly saw the intentions of the Empire.

And William actually had his own considerations when he took this order, and after being in a high position for so many years, he was still very sensitive to this kind of conspiracy.

He did this to show that he was not with one heart and that he could switch sides as long as he had enough interests.

In this way, the church can give him more convenience and benefits, and now William is still more useful to the church, although there are more countries that support the church, but most of them are not strong countries.

The only powerful countries that really supported the Church were William's kingdoms of Lorik and Astra.

If William didn't get along with the church, they would be a slight disadvantage to the Rhodeland Empire.

In order to maintain William as a supporter, they will definitely give William more benefits and convenience.

William took this order, naturally it will not be delivered when the two sides are in confrontation, and the same is true for Grayne, they didn't even pay the deposit, and they already knew that William would not deliver the armor at this time.

William even publicly stated that he would go to the Holy City this winter to meet the Pope in person to express his admiration for the Pope and the Holy Father.

This was undoubtedly William's support for the church, and the church was very satisfied with William's response.
