Chapter 250: Partition
After canonizing Novin, William continued to canonize, he tapped the scepter in his hand on the table again, and said, "Knight Lolitsa!" ”
As Wella's own brother, that is, William's eldest brother, Lolita can also be regarded as William's family, after all, after the death of Baron Comos, the entire Comos family has no direct relatives. us
Therefore, William Wella, as well as Mrs. Comos, and Lolitsa, they are the closest people, with such a relationship, how could William treat his eldest brother badly?
What's more, in this era, enclosing the territory to one's relatives is also a very good way to stabilize the rule.
Lolitsa hurried to the center of the hall and fell down on one knee, ready to listen to William's canonization.
"Knight Lolitsa, you fought bravely on the battlefield and helped me contact the mercenaries to fight, and you have made great contributions, so today I canonize you as a baron!"
"Follow me!" William said.
"I owe allegiance to you, your enemy is my enemy, my sword will always be wielded for you, my spear will always be broken for you, allow me to be loyal to you!"
William read him the oath of allegiance unlike the nobles, after all, he was his relative, nominally closer than Norwen and Hurim.
Of course, Lolitsa and Novin are incomparable, but even so, his oath is not the same as that of everyone else.
Lolitsa followed William to finish the oath, and William struck his sword on his shoulder three times to complete the canonization.
And said: "I grant you the Manor of Naros, the Manor of Bupiro, and the villages under their jurisdiction as your domain, where you can do anything that does not violate the Code of Menders, and you are obligated to do the same as they are!" ”
"Also, Comos Manor is your family's domain, but it is now in my hands, so I will grant you the Manor as compensation!"
"From this day forward, you are the rightful ruler of the three manors and the more than seventy villages under them, and you can call yourself a baron!"
"Well, you're an official baron now!" William patted him on the shoulder with his hand and said.
The current population of Denglenburg is actually not very large, the population of the entire county is only more than 120,000, which is the population shortage caused by the war in recent years, and among these 120,000 people, William's territory accounts for more than 30,000 people.
There were still more than 7,000 people in Denlenburg, and the surrounding villages were in the Earl's manor on the machine, which was more than 40,000 people, and the population of the rest of the places together was only 50,000
This shows how much alcohol has done to the population of Denlenburg after two years of continuous wars, which once had nearly 200,000 inhabitants.
Although Lolitsa was given three manors and more than seventy villages, the population would never exceed 10,000, and the number of soldiers he could mobilize was no, only 3,000 light infantry.
The armed infantry will definitely not exceed one hundred and fifty, which is already a lot weaker than the nobles of similar territories in other regions.
It can be said that the two years of war, coupled with the current war of reunification, have greatly damaged the vitality of Denglenburg, and the war potential has been greatly reduced.
It is true that William did not cause too many casualties in the war of unification, and only more than 20,000 people died in the war.
But the fact that the losses were heavy is indeed beyond doubt, so William's immediate priority is to recuperate.
Today, Denlenburg can no longer withstand large-scale wars.
After canonizing Lolitsa, William canonized Winstonburg, which once belonged to Viscount Winston, and his subordinate manor villages to Baron Byer, as a person who was quite close to William, of course, he would receive preferential treatment.
After canonizing him, he was the commander of Merlin, who had already been said before, and during this time, he had transferred all his soldiers.
There were more than 500 mercenaries left, and such strength was even among the nobles, so William granted him a manor and gave him the title of baron.
Captain Merlin, who has obtained the status of nobility, Ano, Baron Merlin is of course grateful, and swears to William that he will be loyal.
William picked up Baron McLin and patted him on the shoulder, the agreement between him and Baron Merlin had not yet been fully completed.
He had told Baron Merlin that he would select a number of soldiers from his army and add them to his ranks.
Because William found that the army composed of pure Manders infantry still had some shortcomings in resisting the line, although their defensive capabilities were strengthened by the blessing of iron armor.
However, they are not accompanied by shields, so they are inevitably much worse in terms of defensive flexibility.
If you face a rain of arrows and crossbows from the enemy, it is likely that there will be casualties, and if you mix some sword and shield soldiers among them, it will obviously be much better.
First, their ability to fight in close quarters and short distances will be greatly compensated, and second, the shields in the hands of the sword and shield infantry can also give them some defense.
Together, this kind of composite force can definitely strengthen the ability to resist the line several times, and if it can be combined with the attack of the archers, it will definitely be a nightmare for the enemy.
Now was not the time, after the canonization of Baron Mehrin, William gave Bansteske, Delseith, and Tus and Vidal the title of court baron, and the canonization ended.
Counting the manors under the jurisdiction of the castle, William canonized two castles at one time, twenty-four manors, and more than four hundred villages.
Almost every nobleman received his share of the spoils, and after canonizing them, William had six estates left.
Together with William's previous two estates, and the Earl's own eighteen estates, there are twenty-six estates in total, and more than six hundred villages have fallen into William's hands.
Not only that, but the two towns directly under the earl, Sutton in the north and Cssolo in the southwest, also became William's domain.
This is ten times larger than William's two manors and fifty villages before, and now he can drastically transform his territory, and many things he has long envisioned can be realized now.
And next, it was the banquet that had been prepared early, the content of the banquet was arranged by Wella, and she was responsible for all kinds of sumptuous ingredients and decorations.
Spices, candles, oil lamps, and various arrangements, circuses and troubadours, court musicians in the castle, were all managed by Countess Wella.
However, in terms of cuisine, in addition to those traditional things, William has developed a lot of new dishes with his experience.
Although he didn't cook very well before, it was still quite rare compared to the single and scarce cooking method here.
