Tempted by profit, the armed forces of this group of irregular armies marched in droves to the assembly points of their respective kingdoms, or followed the regular armies of their kingdoms and followed them to the battlefield.

There is no peace on the continent, and brutal wars often occur, which has created a group of mercenaries and civilians who have participated in battles for a living from war and fighting.

William walked on the bustling stone road of Denlenburg, Issamdenburg was just northeast of Denlenburg, so William would not pass by Issamdenburg, but directly led his army from the northwest to the west, the royal capital of Brijek.

When William arrived in the royal capital, he found that there were already a lot of troops there, and most of the troops of the Tskema Kingdom had already arrived here.

Although it has not snowed yet, the temperature is already relatively cold, and it is already winter.

There was a still bright sun hanging on a slightly gray sky, and the bitter cold wind blew William's Iron Cross flag with a grin.

The aristocratic army outside the castle saw William's banner and couldn't help but have an expression of admiration and envy on their faces.

The Denlenburg army has become the ultimate goal of all the armies of the entire Denkma Kingdom, everyone wants to be a soldier like the Denlenburg army, and there is even a saying in the Tzkma Kingdom that a soldier who does not want to be a Denlenburg soldier is not a good soldier.

It can be seen from this that the Denlenburg army has a high evaluation in the entire Tskema Kingdom, and in addition to the Tskema Kingdom, the Lillard Kingdom, the White Rose Kingdom, and the Riborn Kingdom, they all have the most intuitive feeling of the strength of the Denglenburg army.

Twenty kilometers from Brijek, William informed the castle of his arrival, so that someone was already outside the city to greet him.

This time it was Muyne who was in charge of welcoming William, and his title had risen to the rank of earl through many wars in the past eight years.

For eight years, because King Huntard was young, orphans and widows had little deterrent, so there were many nobles who rebelled and were incited to rebel.

Since the death of General Yousen, the Count of Mouyon has been in charge of the royal army, and there have been more than a dozen rebellions in the past eight years, each time the Count Mouyne led the troops to the east, the west, and the south and the north.

In the largest one, someone even colluded with the army of the Lillard Kingdom, plus mercenaries, to launch a rebellion that had reached more than 5,000 people, plus the serf conscription, the number was more than 10,000.

At that time, the royal family did not recover very well, the elite army of the royal family directly under it was only about 3,000 people, the noble army that could be mobilized was less than 2,000 people, and the knights added up to nearly 1,000 people, and it was impossible to use a large number of conscripts in the counterinsurgency war, which was also a very big burden on food and logistics.

Therefore, they can only counter the rebellion with regular troops.

Due to the large number of enemies, the offensive of the king's army did not go very smoothly, and in the end it even reached a stalemate, and the rebellion was put down with the help of William's troops.

It can be said that even now, the life of the royal family is not very good, the territory has lost more than half, resulting in a lot less fiefdom for them, and the royal knights cannot recover, and the less territory means that taxes and revenues will also be less, in short, the royal family is not strong now.

William couldn't help but smile when he looked at Count Muyon, he was about to become his full-time receptionist, William had to come to the royal capital every three months on average to contact the little king and attend a banquet, and every time it was Count Muyon who was in charge of reception.

"It's you again, Count Muyorne!"

William laughed, pointed to the Earl of Muyon in front of him and said, over the years, the two sides have accumulated good hypocrisy, and they can be regarded as friends.

"It's me again, it's been a long time!"

Count Muyon also smiled and said.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Count Mouuen said, "Let's go, Your Majesty is waiting in the castle!" ”

William nodded, and gave an order for his troops to camp outside the city, and he and his vassals followed Count Muyeune to the city of Brijek.

Entering the castle, William was taken to the king's study by the Earl of Muyeune, now King Herchard was fourteen years old, and was approaching the age of pro-government, and now he was learning from Queen Daereen how to govern and control his subordinates.

Count Mouyoen knocked on the door of the study, and after obtaining permission, he walked in with William, and after entering, William and Count Mouyoen bowed and saluted, and then Count Mouyoen spoke: "Your Majesty, the first queen, William, Count of Denlenburg, has arrived, and I have brought him here according to your orders!" ”

King Hechard was already a teenager, and his appearance was very similar to that of his father, King Brolin, especially the brown hair, which was exactly the same as his father.

King Herchard nodded in understanding, then turned his gaze to Queen Dareen on the other side and asked Queen Dareen to speak.

Queen Dai Lin smiled and said, "I know, thank you Count Muyorne, you go and go busy with your business first, here I will talk to Count William first!" ”

There was nothing to talk about between the two sides, that is, the routine contact between the two sides, and Queen Dareen vaguely probed William's loyalty.

And William also said that his acting skills soared to the extreme, and William himself was moved when he saw the appearance of loyalty and courage.

After the conversation, William stayed in the royal capital for a few more days, waiting for the other nobles of the Tskma Kingdom to arrive with their own army.

Five days later, all the nobles of the Tskema Kingdom finally arrived at the royal capital with their own armies.

In addition to William's army, the entire Tskema Kingdom dispatched about 10,000 troops this time.

Among them, the royal family planned to send 3,000 regular troops, 1,000 archers, and 400 knights, in addition, the nobles also made up 4,000 armed infantry, 2,000 archers, and more than 500 knights.

In this way, these troops, together with William's troops, were gathered outside the city, and William's military power, which was stronger than the entire kingdom combined, brought considerable intimidation to all the nobles.

For a while, flags were displayed outside the royal capital, swords and guns were everywhere, and the sharp weapons were shining in the sunlight, and the cold light was shining, as if the whole world had become solemn.

The little king Hechard also went out with the army this time, and he was about to reach the age of pro-government, and he urgently needed to accumulate prestige, and he couldn't just rely on the status of the king.

And the battlefield is the best place to accumulate prestige.

William sat in his wagon, and in the midst of his troops, drove slowly on the somewhat bad roads of the Tskma Kingdom.

After nearly two months of marching, they finally reached the kingdom of Astra, and by this time it was already the middle of winter, and it could almost be said that it was icy and snowy.
