William's army was evacuating backwards in alternate cover, archers and crossbowmen pouring arrows into each other's arrays to prevent the enemy from sticking to each other.

William really had nothing to say about the battles elsewhere, obviously the situation here was very good, and he was even about to defeat the enemy, but this happened at this time.

If nothing else, as long as the army of the country that was defeated first could hold out for an extra half an hour, William now had hope of turning the tide of the battle.

But there is no way, things have already happened, and any words have become useless nonsense.

In the battle just now, the army of the Kingdom of Lorik killed and wounded more than 20,000 Norvidians, although William's side also lost about four or five thousand people, but compared to the enemy's casualties, it was much better.

This is the result of William's daily attention to array training, it is the array that strengthens the combat effectiveness of the army, if it is not a military formation, even William's royal infantry is still inferior to the Norweed soldiers in individual combat effectiveness.

But the array allowed the army of the Kingdom of Lorik to be no less inferior to the enemy, and even firmly suppressed the enemy.

The Iron Cross Knights have not come in handy except for breaking through the enemy's fence so far, originally he planned to send out a wave of enemies after a while, but he didn't expect such an accident to occur.

The enemy was already stunned by the strong combat power of the army of the Kingdom of Lorik, and they were completely subconsciously resisting, so when the army of the Kingdom of Lorik retreated, they did not think of pursuing it.

As a result, the army of the Kingdom of Lorik withdrew very smoothly.

William ordered the military doctor to arrange the wounded soldiers properly, and then quickly rushed to the city of Deboren with the army.

The city of Deborenne is not far from here, but it is only about three days away.

He didn't operate with the other jihadist forces, and he was so confident in the combat effectiveness of his army that a Norweed army of less than 50,000 men would not be able to keep himself here.

What's more, if you act with other jihadist forces, the target will undoubtedly be very large, and the enemy will be very easy to detect.

Now, except for the Kingdom of Lorik and the Rodland Empire, which retreated more calmly, the other holy war armies are all embarrassed and defeated.

Morale has taken a huge toll on morale, and anyone who acts with them may be tied down, resulting in casualties.

William was really speechless about these holy credunes, it was really too bad, it was just a pile of mud that couldn't support the wall.

In this way, they walked along a relatively hidden road towards the city of Deboren.

And before they reached Deboren, they received the news that Deborlane was surrounded by Norweeds, and William certainly couldn't go anywhere.

In this way, William led his army all the way to plunder and pay fees, scraped together a lot of food, and spent more than two months returning to the kingdom of Lorik.

Two months had passed, and it was now October of the year 1239 in the Holy Calendar, and the sky had begun to fall with snowflakes, and the Norvidians had slowed down their attack.

The city of Deborenne was not captured by the Norvidians in ten days like the city of Cardjavin in the kingdom of Astra, and after the defeat of the Holy Army, in addition to a large number of troops returning to their own country, many people entered the city of Deboren.

At least 150,000 troops were gathered in Deboren, and although there may be some good and bad, the numbers were there.

In addition, this is the capital of the Rodland Empire, so the food and garrison in it are also quite abundant, with so many people guarding it, there has been no conscription for the fall of Deborene City in the past two months.

Of course, it was winter, and although Emperor Polioye slowed down the pace of his attack, it was only for the hard-boiled Rodran Empire.

He was full of contempt for other nations, sent out 100,000 troops, and began to conquer other parts of the continent.

In just two months, another country has been destroyed, and I really don't know what the Holy Religion World will become if it continues like this.

Now there are many messages spread along the whole road, and many people with ulterior motives are spreading rumors, causing panic among the citizens of those countries that have not yet been destroyed.

The Holy Church world will be destroyed, the faith of the Holy Father will be terminated, and all the Lordes will become slaves.

Fortunately, the propaganda work of the Kingdom of Lorik is well done, and everyone believes that His Majesty the King and the King will make a decision.

In fact, William did exactly that, and the first thing he did was to gather the first militia that had been trained in the country for more than ten years, and distribute them with double iron armor and spears like the royal army.

In addition, a large number of troops were decentralized, so that officers and soldiers could further train the original militia and make them more suitable for the battlefield.

There were a lot of militiamen, about 30,000 people, all of whom were old Denlenburg people, trained very hard, and were extremely strong.

The grain in the kingdom of Lorik was forbidden to be sold, and all of it was hoarded by William at a large price in his treasury, and the blacksmiths were also at full power, with the help of orc slaves, they made a large number of arrowheads, spearheads, long swords, shields, armor, and other war tools.

Ordinary residents, on the other hand, need to hand in one gun and two arrow shafts per household, which can be used in future wars.

The Kingdom of Lorik has a population of more than 5 million, that is, nearly a million households, and at that time, a million guns and two million arrow shafts will be enough for war anyway.

William was already ready for war, and he sent a large number of hunters, and finally the entire country was able to draw more than 10,000 hunters.

William had them train with recurved composite bows, and crossbowmen were much easier to train than archers, and five thousand men were selected from among the militia to expand into the crossbowman army.

And William's vassals also obeyed William's orders, and also expanded their own army, William's arrangement for so many years finally came in handy, and the vassals' expansion after adding the expansion of the royal army, the regular army available in the entire Lorik Kingdom has reached more than 90,000 people, and it can continue to expand if it is not possible.

It's just that the newly expanded armies need some time to train and adapt, and now these armies are the limit of what the Kingdom of Lorik can support.

After all, they are all professional soldiers who are out of production, and unlike the kind of peasant soldiers in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Celestial Empire, it is impossible to pull out a million.

If the number of 90,000 was higher, it would be a reckless force, and if William did not want to admit more people into his army unless it was absolutely necessary, it would affect the whole country.

In the midst of the ice and snow, the Norwids destroyed four countries one after another, and the kingdom-level countries of the Holy Sect World were only half of what they were before the war.

It's been five months since that big rout, and the army on the side of the Kingdom of Lorik has basically completed its training and reorganization, and is waiting for the upcoming battle.
