Chapter 460: Confrontation in front of the ice lake

William didn't have any feelings for his father at first, but after a long time of contact, a kind of family affection arose.

Before he married Wella and had children, he had always been single, and he didn't even have a blood relationship, which is extremely rare on the road, and that nobleman didn't have a huge family?

If you count all the relatives who can't be beaten with eight poles, I'm afraid that each of them can have thousands of relatives.

And William, who came through time, although he was possessed by a soul, he had no memory at all, so he almost didn't have any relatives and was helpless.

Only now did he find his family, found his father, and under the care of Archduke Wallace, he couldn't help but regard Archduke Wallace as his father.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, William and Archduke Wallace left the tent together, and they went to the military camp of the Grand Duchy of Kraxa.

Many of the Grand Duchy of Kraxa came out this time as relatives of the Wallace family, and although most of them were cousins, they also had a relationship with William.

Especially the sister of Archduke Wallace, William's aunt, Countess Vilner, he had a special affection for William, and she was very fond of this little nephew who had been hanging around her since childhood.

After spending some time in the camp of the Grand Duchy of Ksla and then they went to the camp where the Jihadist Army of the Middle Lane was waiting to be seen.

At this time, all the main nobles of the Eastern Road Holy War Army, the West Road Holy War Army, and the Middle Road Holy War Army gathered in this tent.

I saw Archbishop Bailinsin and King Leonac sitting upright, and to their right were two richly dressed nobles and monks, who were presumably the supreme commander and bishop of the Central Creatine Army.

On the left side of the Eastern Jihadist Army, General Brynnville and another bishop sat on it, and each of the three Jihadist Corps had a supreme commander and bishop.

There were about forty or fifty people in the tent at this time, and they were all leaders of forces with a large number of troops, and the nobles below were not qualified to come here.

General Brinville saw William at a glance at the top, and he nodded kindly to William, who remembered William's previous life-saving grace to him.

And this move naturally let others see it, and King Hunthard couldn't help but look a little ugly when he saw this scene.

Although he and William did not have any conflict, he just couldn't see William receiving more courtesy than him, and he thought it was an offense to himself.

Although when he first succeeded to the throne, the scene of William's coronation of him was still vivid, but he just couldn't get used to this representative of the "royalist faction".

Every time William was valued by King Leonac, or courteous by someone else, he was very jealous.

Although he also knew that such an idea was wrong and would push out his biggest supporters, he still couldn't restrain the thought in his heart, after all, he was only fifteen years old.

In addition to him, another person who looked at William unpleasantly was the Marquis of Apollon, who had a conflict with William before, and the two of them had a feud purely because of interests, so she was also very dissatisfied when she saw William's current smug appearance.

How their emotions did not affect anyone, except for the Count of Muyurn who looked at King Echhard worriedly.

The six men looked at each other, and then King Leonac spoke, "First of all, we want to celebrate our previous victory!" ”

"Especially in the victory on the battlefield of the Western Road, I think you already know about the enemy's conspiracy, and the one in front of us is the hero who thwarted the enemy's conspiracy, defeated the enemy and saved the Western Road Jihadist Army, the Count of Denlenburg, the Eagle of the Kingdom of Tskma, the pious people of the Holy Father, the friend of the Church, William. Earl Wallace! ”

"It was he who saved the Western Path Jihad Army in danger, and it was he who turned the situation around, think about it, everyone, if the Western Route Holy War Army is completely wiped out, and the enemy turns around and besieges us, what a tragic situation it will be!"

"If it weren't for him, Count William, we would have been defeated by then, and we all thank him!"

King Leonac pointed at William, an imperceptible smile in his eyes, and William nodded almost invisibly.

He stood up and said with a little trepidation: "Everyone Liao praised, I just coincidentally, all this is arranged by the Holy Father, and I am just following the will of the Holy Father!" ”

William humbly shirked this honor, while the nobles still kept praising William.

Especially the nobles of the Western Road Jihadist Army who were rescued were the main force in praising William, and all kinds of praise and compliments kept echoing in the tent.

William's heart was already happy at this time, and King Leonac certainly would not help him to promote his deeds.

He had conspired with King Leonac to expand trade between the two sides and export 5,000 orc slaves to the kingdom of Astra every year in order for King Leonac to agree to help him spread his reputation here.

When these nobles knew about William's deeds, their subordinates would naturally be able to know about it, and when the time came, his fame spread to the entire Holy War Army, and the invisible benefits were far greater than the price paid.

No one else will doubt William's character, his devotion to the Holy Father, and whether he will do bad things.

Even if William did something rebellious, or even usurped the throne, not too many nobles would jump out to accuse William, this is the benefit of fame.

Anyway, the conditions are just trade, and those orcs can recoup their costs by selling them at a high price, and William is actually making a lot of money.

"The enemy's plots have been thwarted by us! The war has been carried out to the final step! As long as you capture the castle in front of you, which is only defended by 50,000 men, the holy war will end, and the victory and glory will always belong to the Holy Father! Forever belong to the pious people of the Father! Holy Cultists! Warriors of the Holy Father! Let's conquer him, and the riches of this city will surely satisfy you! ”

Archbishop Bailinsin also stood up and said: "The Holy Father will never owe anything to his people, and after the Holy War is over, the territory of the Norwedians will also belong to the people of the Holy Father!" Saints who are too far away from here will also be compensated with money and other loot! ”

Although the nobles were also looking forward to the end of the holy war, after hearing these news, they immediately looked forward to the beginning of the battle.

And so, early the next morning, the 200,000 jihadist marched out of the camp in a mighty way, preparing to cross the frozen lake and capture the Norwed capital.

But they didn't want to, the Norwids actually mobilized tens of thousands of troops again, gathered eighty or ninety thousand Norweed soldiers, lined up in front of the ice lake, and blocked the advance of the jihadist army.

Thus began the confrontation between the two sides in front of the glacial lake.
