He did this mainly because he didn't want to help those people, and William didn't want to make so much effort and then not be able to get the most benefits.

In his opinion, it is best for Duke Bunkerson to beat them to the ground, all the way to the ground, and then clean up the mountains and rivers by himself.

In the end, he declared that he would expel the tyranny and take the throne justifiably, and he would be able to clean up a large number of nobles in the country and gain the most territory for himself.

And who let William participate in the war, in fact, also have their own considerations, first, William's army is large and all of them are elite, if William participates in the war, he will definitely be able to win the war.

Second, it is also because William's strength is too strong, if they fight to the death with Duke Bunkerson, and William easily wins the throne, then they will be angry.

Don't look at these nobles who usually behave stupidly and ignorantly, but in this kind of thing, they have always been shrewd, and they are all thousand-year-old foxes.

In order to dispel their doubts, William directly told them about the Chekel people, anyway, this is also his own plan, and he did not lie.

After William told them the news, he immediately asked Baron Reims and Vidal, and Jia Yu was also in charge of some scheduling.

Baron Reims, the Minister of Commerce and Finance, was responsible for the military expenses, Jia Yu was responsible for preparing the military rations, and Vidal was responsible for preparing various other resources for the expedition.

Anyway, the three of them each have their own division of labor, although the warehouse is managed by William himself, but William still handed over this function to Vidal, and let the experienced him be in charge of scheduling.

And those vassals, William wrote a letter to each of them, and called them to mobilize an army to prepare for battle.

The meeting place was in Mandesburg, William's first fortress built by himself, which was William's former domain and is now a relatively wealthy area.

In just half a month, Vidal and the others had gathered all the things they needed for the war, and although the soldiers' armor was not yet fully equipped, it had reached half of the coverage.

In order to ensure that every soldier was as armored as possible, William temporarily let each of them wear only one layer of iron armor, which was equivalent to distributing the two and a half layers of iron armor of the previous Denlenburg army to everyone.

Although the defense of individual soldiers decreased, it ensured that everyone had armor.

In fact, William's current army was probably more than 18,000 men, including 6,000 archers.

Throwing away the archers who are not wearing armor for the time being, only 6,000 sets of fully equipped two-and-a-half armor have been produced in such a long time, and this is the result of five months of working overtime to beat the armor pieces with hydraulic stamping.

If it were the previous method, it would have taken at least more than a year to produce such a quantity of armor.

However, the Knights of the Iron Cross are all equipped with armor, after all, the class is different, the knight is the lowest noble, how could William let them wear incomplete armor?

After all, everyone is equal in this era, or in any era, it is out-and-out nonsense.

The Denlenburg army, ready for everything, set off from the castle in a mighty way.

There were nearly a thousand wagons used to transport supplies alone, containing arrows, grain, jerky, and other marching food.

Five days later, William led his army to Mandesburg, where more than 20,000 regular troops were stationed.

William looked at the castle in front of him and felt some emotion in his heart, this is the place where his dream takes root, and this is his first stable home.

It is a place that has witnessed many things that have happened to me from nothing, from a little baron to the status I am today.

Imagine that in the first place, William built a castle for the security of the territory to defend against the Chekels and other enemies, as well as to increase cohesion.

After William became an earl, it had been a long time since he had visited his first castle.

Therefore, after William arrived here, he even had a strange feeling.

Charlemagne was also one of those who accompanied the army this time, and he still led his own ten-man team, after all, he wanted to establish his prestige in the army, so he must also go to war.

He looked at the castle and couldn't help but be a little curious, when he was born, William had already controlled the whole of Denlenburg.

Shortly after his birth, William became the Earl of Denlenburg, and he knew nothing about the hard years that preceded him.

I don't have any impression of Mandesburg, which represents William's hard work, and even he has never been here.

Mandesburg was bustling with activity with the arrival of William's army, where soldiers trained for the battle.

In fact, there are no inhabitants in Mandesburg, and the purpose of the castle's existence is to defend and control the surrounding territories.

All of his facilities were for military purposes, so there was only a garrison and no inhabitants, but the nearby Mandes Manor was very prosperous.

As William's most reliant territory, it still inherits its former prosperity.

In just five or six days, all of William's vassals had arrived, and Norwin and Hurim had returned to their own territory to deploy their troops.

With the exception of Baron Nair, who was governor of the colony, all gathered in Mandesburg to wait for William's dispatch.

Even Mandesburg could not accommodate such a large number of soldiers, and they had to camp outside the castle.

Denlenburg is surrounded by a scene of slaughter, with heraldic flags of various styles fluttering around and snorting in the winding autumn wind.

William's territory was very stable, and although there was some open and secret fighting among the nobles, it was still quite harmonious, and when William recruited them, they quickly assembled.

William himself had a regular army of more than 20,000 people, and with the army of the vassals, it had reached 30,000, which was a terrifying number.

You know, even when the kingdom of Tskema was at its peak under the rule of King Brolin, it could not reach this number, that is to say, William had more strength than one kingdom with the territory of two large counties.

In this way, after a two-day break, William officially announced his departure.

Thus the huge army of 30,000 soldiers left Mandesburg and headed for the nearest Sicekir.

In fact, William hadn't dealt with them for a long time, and although they still sent iron to William every year, there was no intersection anymore.

In addition, the ten-year deadline is almost up, and there will be no reason for them to provide William with iron material at that time, which is also a small reason for William to send troops.

After less than a day's journey out of Mandesburg, you can see the vast pastures on which the Cheker people live.

William looked at the pasture in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Chief Mutus...... Sorry! ”
