Chapter 506: Preparing for Canonization
The warm spring breezes bring a refreshing breeze, and the counties of Denlenburg and Issamdenburg are full of life, and the forests on both sides of the road are almost nowhere to be found, except for the places that cannot be cultivated, and most of the two counties are agricultural fields that represent food.
The fields have long been sown, and the people of the two counties of Denlenburg are training for spring every year.
Of course, this has so far been confined to these two counties, where farmers are still cultivating their fields, and some of the Loerd people who have gone to run the grazing trade are also bothering to mate their livestock.
Now the place in charge of William has become larger, not like before, the whole territory has to do everything, now William's territory has reached the point where customs and habits and even dialects are slightly different.
However, it is so large, equivalent to the territory of nearly three provinces of the Celestial Empire, most of the area is still full of poverty, and the only elite areas are Denlenburg and Issamdenburg, which William is under the jurisdiction of the earl.
Therefore, William is now almost relying on these two territories to support the entire kingdom, and the next series of construction.
The counterinsurgency army had been marching for more than half a month, and had returned to the area of the stone roads of Denlenburg and Issamdenburg, and they were walking on the stone roads at a very fast pace, and they would reach Denlenburg in about four days.
They also escorted a large number of prisoners, nearly a thousand of those soldiers who were captured.
In addition, there were more than 100 knights, who caused some trouble for the counterinsurgency army during the siege of the city, and their exquisite martial arts did cause some casualties to the counterinsurgency army, and at the same time stood in their way.
But no matter how hard these knights worked, no matter how strong they were, the most one of them was only killed by the soldiers after killing two royal infantrymen.
Moreover, the knight was also said to be an extremely brave and prestigious knight, and even though the royal army formed a battle formation of three people, he still had him kill two people with a mace.
After all, the mace is really a sharp weapon to restrain heavy armor, otherwise the two soldiers wearing heavy armor would not be able to be killed so easily.
However, these knights only caused some hindrance to the royal infantry, after all, their numbers were so small that after killing some of them, they fled a little, but most of them fought in place.
However, because they were knights, the royal infantry did not deal with them with murderous intent, and a large part of them were tied up after being pressed down.
If it weren't for the fact that these knights were holding back the counterinsurgency, they would have entered the castle much earlier.
William had already received the news of his victory in Denlenburg, and he expressed full praise for the commander of Norwen, who was now a relatively strong commander in the kingdom of Lorik.
It is worth mentioning that Savar, who was recruited by William before, can also be said to have made great achievements in this war, and it was he who led his soldiers to climb the enemy's wall first and broke through it.
His subordinate town reported it to his division commander, Lolitsa, who then informed William Savar of his outstanding performance on the battlefield.
Therefore, William plans to promote him to Zhencao this time, and it can be seen that his military literacy is still very good, and he can be tempered step by step to let him take on these heavy responsibilities.
After several days of marching, they finally returned to Dentlenburg, and when they returned to Dentlenburg, William stopped the grand welcome ceremony.
Trumpeters and guard of honour stood in front of the gates of Denlenburg, and William and a number of his courtiers, as well as a number of others, gathered outside the city.
In addition to this, a large number of residents as well as the squire merchant class came here to greet them.
After all, the capital of the Kingdom of Lorik is now Düllenburg, and a large number of soldiers are natives of Düllenburg, and their families have also joined the ranks of this greeting.
They searched the crowd for their sons, husbands, or brothers, fearing that their loved ones would lose their lives in the war.
The people who found their relatives in the queue burst into tears of joy, although the royal army was well-equipped and often won battles, and the casualty rate was not high, but after all, the war was sure to kill people.
It is impossible to avoid casualties, so the families of these soldiers are very worried about whether their families will be able to return alive from the battlefield.
Those who did not find their family members in the queue looked panicked and called out the names of their family members in the crowd, hoping for a response.
While it is true that some people wept with joy when they received the response, it is true that some people had their families who died on the battlefield and did not find their families until the end.
The Knights of the Iron Cross did not play much of a role in this war, after all, the enemy had always been in the castle and had not fought in the field at all, so of course the Knights of the Iron Cross had no room to play.
At the same time, Baron Nair also returned to Denlenburg by land.
He looked at the long-lost place in front of him with a large group of followers, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, and this familiar feeling made him completely relax his mind.
Some of his retinue were recruited from the Duchy of Mainek and brought with him to the Kingdom of Lorik.
They had not been in the mood to walk in the area where William had just arrived, because it was not much stronger than the Duchy of Maineke.
But when they arrived at Denlenburg, their hearts were instantly filled with shock.
Growing up in the principality of Maineke, they had never seen such a rich and prosperous region, and they had been in a state of shock since the border with Denlenburg.
The villages were piled up with pieces of grain and meat, and the piles of wooden poles, and the aroma of barbecue and bacon wafting everywhere.
and the height and strong muscles of the residents, which they had never seen before.
They walked on the neat stone roads, and there was a constant stream of caravans, escorting expensive or cheap goods to the various commercial towns and cities, where they would get what they wanted.
And after that, their shock never stopped, and every time they passed through a commercial city, they were amazed as if they had seen the Father coming.
After all, even the capital of the Principality of Maineke was not as prosperous as any of the commercial cities of Denlenburg, and the prosperity here even made them think that they had come to the paradise where the Holy Father was.
And eventually, when they arrived in Denlenburg, the shock in their hearts reached its peak.
Although the prosperity of the outermost outermost area surprised them, after all, they had seen a lot of odd numbers along the way, although it was far more than other regions, but it was normal.
What really surprised them was the inner city of the capital of Denlenburg, the eighteen-meter-high walls that resembled a god's building that only the Holy Father could build, towering to make everyone feel a sense of depression and despair, and at the same time set off the majesty of the royal family.
