The red light of the setting sun shone on William's face, setting it off with a sense of holiness.

"But, with all due respect, I don't think people will easily believe this news, and may even really doubt us!"

After listening to William's words, Tus voiced his worries with a worried expression on his face.

"Haha, it's okay, I know you may not have completely handled the beginning and end, but it doesn't matter, you can handle it next time!"

"It doesn't matter if others suspect it this time, the death of the earl's only heir means that the entire territory is about to be divided, a large-scale turmoil is inevitable, how to get the most benefits in this turmoil is what the nobles are most concerned about!"

"So, even if they did know that I made you do this, no one of them would avenge the dead Sir Tscuri!"

William smiled slightly, and said his considerations, and the reaction of the nobles.

"When the time comes, as long as I show a large enough strength, I will immediately be able to entangle a lot of nobles to support us!"

"Although it may be a little sorry for Viscount Winston to do this, but there is no way, we have to rely on him to distinguish between those who support us and those who are hostile to us!"

William had a warm smile on his face, but what he said was a vicious scheme.

"Okay, let's do it, let the rumors spread a little wider, and try to make the nobles believe it, do you understand what I mean?"

"I see, my lord, I'll do it now!" Tus nodded, bowed, and exited the study.

Nuo Wen and Hu Limu, who were sitting on the side, saw all this scene, Hu Limu didn't have any ideas, but Norwen looked at William with some concern.

He was afraid that William would become a ruthless and cunning man, in which case he would not even find a reason to help.

As for Urimu, he has no objection to William's approach, after all, he is a Kriza who believes in the law of the jungle, and he is not averse to such intrigues and intrigues.

William, of course, could see what Novon meant, smiled lightly, and then said: "Don't worry about Novin, I did this for a reason, in order to be able to develop more quickly, we have no choice, don't we?" ”

After speaking, William looked at Norwen sincerely, but Norwen frowned, looking like he was thinking hard.

William didn't care about Nowen in his thoughts, but said to Urimu: "By the way, Urimu, you go and take someone to check the militia training of the instructors in the village!" ”

This plan was proposed by William three months ago, when his troops had accumulated dozens of disabled soldiers, so he implemented this long-planned militia plan in advance.

This kind of militia program has many advantages, allowing the leaders to train in their leisure time, which can not only increase their obedience ability, but also train them to a certain combat effectiveness.

And they are trained by veterans, and they can also adapt well to the training when they may enlist in the future, after all, after the militia enlists, they can quickly grow into a qualified soldier.

In this way, a line of soldiers is directly formed, and they are first trained in the militia battalions, so that they can adapt to the training and have better physical fitness.

And teenagers can also get a good exercise when they are developing, which can shape their bones and muscles when they are developing.

The militia were not as well trained as the Manders infantry, or even the armed infantry of the other nobles, but they were much better than the light infantry.

Even if you train for a little longer, you may be able to catch up with the armed infantry of other nobles, of course, it also depends on the specific effect.

Since they were militiamen, it was impossible for William to let them fight with dung forks and sticks, and no one gave them a three-meter spear as a weapon.

Although the length of the spear is the same as that of the Manders infantry, the specific structure is very different, and the spear of the Mandes infantry is composed of half a meter of fine iron at the tip of the spear alone, and the armor-piercing ability is very strong.

But the spears of this group of militiamen, of course, did not have that kind of treatment, and the spears they held were not much different from the spears of ordinary soldiers, that is, the shaft of the spear was a little longer.

As for the equipment, there is not a single piece of leather armor in the two hundreds, there are many men in William's territory, and there are more than 5,000 people who join the militia, and this is still the number of old people and children, including only young people and teenagers.

If each of these 5,000 people had a piece of leather armor, it would cost at least 50,000 or 60,000 silver coins, and even the current William would never be able to afford it.

The news gradually spread, and there were different versions of the rumors circulating in almost the whole of Denlenburg, but without exception, each version of the murderer was Viscount Winston.

This incident caused a stir throughout Denlenburg, and even the royal family began to pay attention to the situation here.

But the king's side apparently did not react, and did not say anything about the matter in Denlenburg.

At this time, there was a bit of an undercurrent in Denlenburg, some nobles really believed these rumors, while some nobles did not take the truth of the rumors to heart and only pursued their own interests.

And there are some nobles who have completely seen through William's tricks, but they have not grown without exception, they are waiting for the really powerful people to jump out, after all, they are just barons.

"Vidal! To draft a declaration of war, it is written that Viscount Winston was ungrateful, poisoned the Earl, and then poisoned the Earl's only heir, we must not bear it, and call on all the nobles of Denlenburg to launch an attack on Viscount Winston and avenge the Count! ”

William summoned everyone, discussed it and finally made a decision, although everyone knew that William's words were just a high-sounding excuse.

But no one will poke it, as a nobleman, it is really too common to do this kind of thing, not to mention that in the territory, it is basically William's word.

And he also succeeded in convincing Novin before, so that Novin understood his approach.

After the news of the declaration of war was issued, Viscount Winston was immediately enraged, and he quickly responded to William's declaration of war, saying strongly that he would never admit anything that he did not do.

At the same time, war was declared against William, and as soon as the declaration of war from the two sides was issued, two camps were directly separated.

And they all wrote in their declaration of war, calling on all the righteous nobles in Denlenburg to stand with them and defeat the evil murderers.

This was equivalent to directly letting the nobles stand in line, and within five days, all the remaining thirteen direct barons of the earl had made a statement on this matter.

Six of the nobles chose to follow William, while the other seven chose Viscount Winston, who they considered to be powerful.

For a time, although the two sides had not officially started the war, a tense atmosphere had already emerged.
