Chapter 386: Battle News
"Raise your head!"
William was now thirty-three years old, and some vicissitudes began to appear on his face, but these vicissitudes made him more majestic, far more majestic than he had been without a beard before.
Although Prince Arthur is usually in a high position, he can't help but feel a little weak in the face of the Earl of Denlenberg, who commands a million people and tens of thousands of troops, and William's pressure as a superior has become heavier and heavier over the years, and his words have an irresistible meaning.
Prince Arthur looked up and looked at William with a somewhat complicated look in them, which seemed to have some envy, or jealousy, but also some flattery.
In his heart, William was his future father-in-law, of course, to please, and his self-inflicted affection made him forget that he was still a prisoner.
Looking at Arthur's raised face, William sneered, and then asked, "You are Arthur?" ”
Saying this name, William's state of mind, which had not been turbulent for many years, suddenly appeared a microwave, how famous this name was in his previous life.
The famous King Arthur, with the assistance of twelve knights of the round table and a series of nobles, finally established a hegemony and established his own kingdom, England.
There are even many derivative versions of his deeds, what is the story of Archmage Merlin and Arthur, the story of Arthur and magic, it is simply countless, and even the United Kingdom in William's previous life made various movies and TV series with the deeds of King Arthur, and the response was good.
This is completely different from his previous bad taste of naming his son Charlemagne or Richard, this time a real person named Arthur appeared in front of him.
Immediately, William came to his senses and began to ask Arthur something.
"Why are you plundering my territory? You know, my territory has been governed and suppressed by me for many years, and the lawbreakers have almost disappeared, but you are committing crimes against the wind at this time, you say, what should I do with you? ”
William smiled at Arthur, who was tied behind his back, and then untied the rope that bound him.
He was not afraid of Arthur's sudden attack on him in the study, he was still confident in his strength, after all, he was the champion swordsman of the Kingdom of Cikma back then, and his strength and agility could not be compared to even Bansteske who had taken medicine, and a teenager who was not necessarily fully developed could not pose a threat to him at all.
Arthur didn't intend to do anything with William, he made a very wise decision, in response to William's inquiry, Arthur repeated what he had said to Sir Confuge to William, and finally said: "As for how to deal with it, it is up to you, after all, I am the first to do evil in your territory, no matter how I deal with it, I have no opinion!" ”
Arthur was indeed wise to do this, because most of the nobles were good-looking, and he had already said that, and under normal circumstances, nobles would not be severely punished.
William, of course, saw through his purpose, and the seventeen years of experience made him see it very thoroughly, but he did not debunk it, except for Arthur's name, he did appreciate this young man.
William smiled, and then said, "Haha, you are very clever, I don't plan to punish you severely, you can lead the patrol in my castle as a cadet knight!" I hope you don't live up to my expectations! ”
William's move is also a bit of a bad thing, imagine how exciting it is to imagine that the famous King Arthur in his previous life is now just a trainee knight under his own command, of course, he is not the hero who built a country, King Arthur.
Although William has a bad taste, he still has a lot of corresponding vigilance, how many enemies he has offended over the years, and naturally experienced no less than twenty assassinations, and the most important thing to survive until now is his vigilance and the strength of the dark dagger.
The Dark Dagger and the Assassin group led by Ariel spread throughout the main fort of Denlenburg, and almost no strangers were allowed to enter and leave the main fort at will.
In this way, William and his family were able to ensure safety in the castle.
Arthur looked at William, stunned for a moment, and then nodded suddenly, it was great to be able to stay in the castle forever, he had a bad idea of Windsor, and now he could be regarded as achieving his goal.
William was still complacent about his decision, and what he didn't know was that he had lured the wolf into the castle by recruiting this man who had no regard for his daughter.
In this way, time passed day by day, and two months later, Arthur also took root in Denlenburg, and through the handling of human relationships that he learned under Merlin's teaching, he was like a fish in water in Denlenburg.
Even Windsor regarded him as a playmate friend who had a good relationship, and even Charlemagne and Richard, who usually trained very hard and busy, also had a good relationship with him.
William also appreciates this young man very much, and recognizes his ability.
Wella and Lingsi also have a good impression of Arthur.
And just as the days were passing smoothly, the calm of Denlenburg was shattered by sudden events.
Originally, William was accumulating strength and planning to expand his territory, and his next target was the Chekel people, whose pastures and staggering reserves of high-quality iron ore were something that William coveted.
However, just as he was about to carry it out, an unexpected event of great political significance and strong military overtones disrupted William's plan.
Originally, the kingdom of Astra, the top power in the north of the continent, was in a confrontation with the Norweed barbarian state, and a series of negotiations were held on trade between the two sides.
The kingdom of Astra and their states were annoyed by the unequal trade in and out of the Norvid barbarians, and their possessions were exchanged for goods that were of little use to the tribe.
In this way, relations between the two sides deteriorated rapidly.
The strength of the kingdom of Astra and several states should not be underestimated, and it is up to you Norwid barbarians to weigh it.
Just when neither side dared to act rashly and wanted to solve the problem through negotiation and negotiation, a barbarian tribe rashly entered the territory of the kingdom of Astra and killed a local bishop.
The Norvids, who had killed the bishop and inflicted a lot of economic losses, were of course not allowed to do so, and the wrath of the kingdom of Astra was poured out on them, crossing the border between the two sides, and annihilating the small tribe that had fled back to the barbarian territory.
In this way, the conflict between the two sides escalated, the dignity of the kingdom of Astra could not be violated, and they did not intend to apologize, and a large-scale war between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out.
