"How? What's the catch? William asked with a smile as he looked at the knights who had returned to him.

"Very good, the enemy is worth a lot of money, especially those knights who have died in battle, and their armor has been pulled off by us!" Hu Limu said with a smile.

"Indeed, we have all made a fortune this time!" Sir Yasuo looked at the others and smiled from ear to ear.

"Haha, indeed, but don't forget, I'll give you a hundred silver coins each after the victory!" William made a painful expression and said bitterly.

The knights glanced at each other, and they all saw surprise in each other's eyes, and asked in unison, "Is this true?" ”

They had always thought that it was just William's morale-boosting trick, and they never planned to actually get the hundred silver coins, but when William said this, they immediately boiled.

"Oh? It turns out that you don't believe it all along, so forget it, or don't give it! William pretended to be dissatisfied.

"Oops...... Don't want it, of course we want these 100 silver coins! O generous and merciful Baron William, have mercy on your valiant and impoverished knights! ”

Sir Yasuo said flamboyantly, put it in the Celestial Empire, he is called stinky poverty.

For this group of knights, William was a rare generous lord, not only equipped them with excellent horses, armor and weapons, but even their estates were built by William without discrimination, and now they did not have fifty spare coins in their money bags, and William ate his horseshoe on the spot.

Sir Yasuo was one of the first people to know William, and William was not very arrogant when he was supposed to be majestic, but when he shouldn't be majestic, he would mingle with the knights.

"Okay, okay, I won't give it back, I've always done what I said." Of course, William will not be able to withhold this money, once the credit collapses, it will be difficult to establish it, he wants everyone to understand that he is a man of promises.

"You are the most generous and merciful lord in the world, may you live a long life!" Sir Yasuo was still flamboyant.

"Alright, the soldiers are assembled, go back to standing!" William's face suddenly became serious, and no one dared to mess around anymore while he was giving orders.

Originally, he had twenty-seven knights under his command, and the knights of Menders plus the knights of Comos were twenty-seven, but now, there were only sixteen left, a full loss of eleven men, and the heavy cavalry had shrunk from thirty-three before the departure to seventeen, which was quite a heavy price.

The Manders infantry, which numbered three hundred and twenty before the departure, had only one hundred and seventy remaining, most of them lightly wounded, and in addition to that, there were more than twenty seriously wounded.

In the heavy infantry sequence, there were forty men at the time of departure, and now only twenty-two are left to fight and continue to serve.

The only thing that didn't have any casualties was the archer troops, after all, it was a long-range unit, and there were one hundred and fifty-five people when they set off, and now there are one hundred and forty people left, and only fifteen people have been lost.

Looking at the total number of troops of only more than 300 people, William was full of melancholy, but fortunately, this war was physical, and all losses could be compensated enough from the enemy, and even a lot of money.

After all, as a victor, it is a matter of course to do whatever is done to the loser, whether it is burning and looting in their territory, or plundering the population, it is the prerogative of the victor.

"Lord Earl, my men have been assembled, what are we going to do next?" William walked up to the Earl's side and asked the Count as a matter of routine.

And other nobles also appeared at the earl's side one after another, waiting for the earl's next order.

"Everyone's here?" The Count glanced at the nobles and asked casually.

"Well, our next step, of course, is to march into Issamdenburg, where are all our losses to be recovered, population, wealth!" The Count looked at the nobles and smiled with satisfaction.

"Oh! Population, wealth! ”

"Hehe, I'm going to get rich!"

"We are the winners."

The reactions of the nobles were mixed, but they all had one thing in common, that is, they all had happy expressions on their faces, but some were subtle and some were wild.

"Alright, let's go!" As soon as the earl gave the order, the nobles immediately moved with their troops.

The nobles didn't gather together, because all the military strength of Isamdenburg was basically wiped out in the first battle of the Lomi Valley, and their remaining troops alone could not pose a threat to them.

And those fortresses, of course, have been given up for the time being, but if the negotiations do not go well, it is estimated that those fortresses will not be spared, after all, the two counts will also have some fun negotiating on this war, such as land reparations or something.

"Behold, William, there is a village ahead, and it looks like there are about two hundred people in it, and it is a large village!" Pointing to the village in front of him, he said to William.

William narrowed his eyes and said, "Let the soldiers indulge, but ...... Rape is forbidden, and the soldiers below are told that the plundered women will definitely be assigned to them at night, but for now, you must make sure that the enemy has no ability to resist, and if anyone can't control that thing in the crotch, I'll take care of it! ”

"No problem!" He replied with a grin, and went down to talk to the soldiers.

In the next moment, the otherwise peaceful village fell into despair, and the brave and skilled Manders infantry became extremely vicious.

They first ordered everyone not to resist, then found a few rebels, killed them one by one, and then fixed the villagers, no one dared to resist, of course, they did not know what awaited them.

After the soldiers had taken control of the villagers, they immediately found the hemp ropes one by one and tied them all up, of course, there must have been a hand on the peasant women in the process, and William of course turned a blind eye to this.

The soldiers then took everything they could carry that seemed to be of more value, including the village's livestock, a few horses, and four or five thin-looking ploughing oxen.

When the soldiers took all the pots and jars from the village, the whole village was burned.

William's troops were extremely capable of transporting, and they returned to Sutton as soon as they arrived at Issamdenburg, bringing in horses and sleds from the left and right, and the contents of a village were nothing more than a small amount to the transportation capacity of William's troops.

Subsequently, William plundered the four villages again, and the property he plundered added up to eight or nine hundred silver coins, which was not a lot of money for him, but it was a rare income for the other nobles.

For William, the most valuable thing was that he had obtained more than 600 villagers, which were a precious population, and William valued them more than the looted property.
