Chapter 115: Reinforcements Arrive

"Okay sir, I'll let my people transport horses back to my territory right away, but there aren't many horses in my territory, and even if I bring over the horses of those cavalrymen who are still training, there are only about a hundred...... I'm sorry! ”

"It doesn't matter, bring as much as you can, and when you win, I'll give you everything you deserve!" The Count said with a smile.

But in fact, the implication is that if the war is lost, then the money for these war horses cannot be given to you, although it is not kind to do so, but it is understandable to think from the earl's point of view.

After all, the knights were brought out by William, and the war horses were also scrapped under William's leadership, although it was for the victory of the war, but these war horses should have been paid by the knights themselves, and the earl paid for it, which made him very troubled.

If you can't win this battle again, then why don't you just play while playing, and I don't have to pay you back for this benefit? Are you kidding?

William also understands this, most of the lords have this virtue, and it is reasonable for the earl to do this, as for whether this is for the victory of the war, it is not at all in the consideration of the upper echelons.

"I see, sir! I'll let my knight do it right away, but it may take a little longer, and a round trip is estimated to take nearly ten days! ”

"Yes, we can wait, the castle is in our hands, and when the reinforcements arrive, we will decide when the decisive battle will be held." The earl said confidently that the main purpose was to let William provide war horses.

In the snowy forest, a large army marched mightily, most of them dressed in winter clothes not too thick and carrying rudimentary weapons and equipment, while the other part of the army of six or seven hundred men was dressed in thick chopped coats and cotton clothes, and held their spears or swords in their hands, and the armor was placed on the carriage drawn by the horse.

These people are the Earl's men, they are marching slowly under the leadership of Captain Ranmail, more than 2,000 light infantry, more than 500 armed infantry, this is a considerable armed force, and this, not counting the ranks of the Earl's vassals, but those wrong controls are in the hands of the henchmen appointed by the nobles.

"Captain Ranmail, our soldiers are tired of the cold, let's camp and rest!" A man dressed as a clerk walked up to Captain Ranmaier and said in a slightly haughty and unequivocal tone.

"But we must get to Fort Sutton within the allotted time, and if we do as you say, we won't be able to get there even in five or six days!" Captain Ranmaier was a little embarrassed and politely refused.

"But our soldiers are too cold to march! If you have to march, then we will not be able to obey! The clerk said in a stiff tone, on his toes.

Captain Ranmail, as the Earl's henchman, commanded more than 500 armed infantry, and he had never been humiliated like this, and he immediately wanted to be angry.

However, he thought about it carefully, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart, because this clerk was a close confidant of Viscount Cowen, and also his brother-in-law, rash reprimand and action could be regarded as a provocation to Viscount Cowen, and he, an officer without a title, would not dare to offend a nobleman with a title and a long-term inheritance.

What's more, Viscount Kewen is very powerful, and he mobilized a team of more than two thousand people in the last confrontation with William alone, and this time, he also brought nearly a thousand troops, which is a considerable help.

"That's right, our aim is to get to Suttonburg in three days, and if we want to get to Suttonburg in five or six days, according to you, it may have fallen by then, and maybe Viscount Curvin will be in danger because of this, so we must hurry as soon as possible, so let's walk for two more hours, and then rest, what do you think?" Ranmaier adjusted his mentality and said calmly.

"This ...... All right! Viscount Kewen's clerk hesitated for a moment, glanced at the other noble henchmen who were attracted to him, and nodded in embarrassment.

He may have been a little cautious, but seeing that the henchmen of the other nobles were attracted to him, he was afraid that this group of people would be eager to rescue their master and dispose of themselves in order to speed up the march, so he had to nod his head in agreement.

"Lord Earl, I have one more thing to report to you!" William knocked on the door of the earl's room, and his injuries were almost healed, as long as he did not exercise vigorously, he was basically fine.

"Please come in, Baron William!" The Earl's voice came from inside, and William pushed the door in.

"Ah, Secretary Ruggie, you're there too!" William said hello, then found a chair and sat down.

"What's the matter? Baron William? The Count asked angrily, for William could not have come to his room to make small talk.

"Is that such an adult, remember the mayor of Suttonburg, Jesfu?" William said.

"This ...... Of course I remember, I personally appointed the mayor, but I really didn't see him for two days, and I thought he was scheduling logistics, did you talk about it? The Count asked, narrowing his eyes.

"It's such an adult, in fact, he is not dispatching logistics, but was arrested by me!" William said truthfully.

"Caught by you?" The earl's index finger subconsciously knocked on the table, his face was a little unsightly, but he eased up randomly, since William said the matter, it means that there must be a reason, not to mention that the earl doesn't think that this matter can be hidden forever.

"Why did you arrest him? Please give me an explanation. The Earl said.

"Such an adult, remember the disobedient squires in the Sutton Township area? It may be that you have not paid much attention to it, but because the matter is important, I investigated, and after my investigation, these squires were all controlled by Mayor Yesif, and Mayor Yesf also colluded with the Earl of Carsville, and wanted to join the enemy against us, and he was locked up in the basement of the castle first, and I plan to hand him over to you to deal with, and the same is true of the other squires. William explained the matter in succinct terms.

When the Earl heard this, his face was quite embarrassed, and the person he had personally appointed and who he thought he could trust betrayed him, which made him lose face and let people take over the basement, and as for what happened next, William did not know.

All he knew was that two days later, Mayor Yesif, covered in bruises, was sentenced to be hanged in front of everyone, his neck was broken alive, and then hung on the city wall.

Captain Ranmaier stood where he was, pulled out a pair of parchment from his clothes, and after comparing the surroundings with the surrounding scenery, he determined his position.

"Soldiers! Speed up, five kilometres away is the location of Sutton, we have reached Sutton! Captain Ranmaier shouted loudly to the soldiers.

And the soldiers, too, spread the news throughout the troops, and cheers resounded throughout the forest.
