Chapter 459: The whole army is in position

On the other side of the day, Charlemagne, who had been fighting the autumn breeze in Norwedish territory, was still wandering around, looking for small enemy forces to strike.

His actions did not attract the attention of the Norwidians, and although they had been noticed by the enemy, Charlemagne's team was not a threat with this amount of strength and the damage inflicted on them.

He was also slowly rushing to the Norwidian capital, after all, he did not want to miss this exciting war, he had come to participate in the holy war.

"Roland! How long will our arrows and food last? Charlemagne asked.

Roland pondered for a moment and said: "Since the previous battle can be recovered, our arrows can last for a long time, but we don't have much food, if we calculate according to the current consumption rate, we will face a situation of running out of food in about seven days!" ”

Roland, as the closest people to Charlemagne, is also valued by William, plus his father is also a viscount, so his qualities are very good, after all, he can already be said to be Charlemagne's future ruling team.

"Seven days?" Charlemagne rubbed his frozen red cheeks and said, "Let's reduce food consumption first!" Then find as much prey as you can in the forest! ”

"If you really can't do it...... I had to go to my father! He said helplessly, he came this time to prove himself in front of his father, and it would be too embarrassing to seek his father's help because of food problems before he could make any achievements.

So he really didn't want to go to his father for help unless he had to.

The Western Route Jihadist Army and the Middle Lane Jihadist Army are a little uneasy when they come together, and the reason is probably that the enemy who was supposed to block the Central Lane Jihadist Army went to besiege the Western Route Holy War Army, which caused the Western Route Holy War Army to be unbalanced, so no matter what, they are a bit against the Middle Lane Holy War Army.

However, the Middle Lane Jihadist Army is really not easy to bully, the main body composed of the two great empires, and the branches composed of other kingdoms, and because they have not experienced obstruction, their number remains at about 70,000.

At this time, in the tent of the Central Route, the leaders of the Kyrgynian Empire and the leaders of the Rodland Empire sat together, both expressing their dissatisfaction with the Western Route.

This time, the Empire dispatched two infantry legions, as well as the Sunshine Knights, who numbered more than five hundred, which were the elite forces of the Rodland Empire.

These two infantry regiments were all fully armed, and their equipment was even slightly better than that of the infantry of the Kingdom of Astra, one regiment was a weave of five thousand men, and the entire Denlenburg infantry under William did not have five thousand.

The mighty Rodlan Empire has a full ten such legions, and all of them are controlled by Emperor Grain, which is even stronger than the Astra Kingdom.

Coupled with the troops that the nobles of the empire were able to mobilize, if the Rhoderan Empire was determined to mobilize in an all-round way, they would be able to raise at least 100,000 regular troops.

The Kyrnian Empire was not bad, and although they suffered considerable losses in the perennial wars with the Piars, they were still able to maintain a fully armed regular army of 70,000 or 80,000 men in the country.

Moreover, the Kyrnian Empire is different from the countries of the Holy Religion world, and in William's opinion, the Kyrnia Empire is more "imperial" than the Rhoderan Empire.

Because their nobles are all military nobles, there is no fiefdom aristocracy, it is completely similar to the aristocracy of the Celestial Empire in the previous life, the nobles will not have their own fiefdoms under full control, and can only serve as officers in the army, or as officials in a certain place.

In this way, their royal power and strength were also very concentrated, and the army of seventy or eighty thousand people was all under unified command and agreed to fight, which was far more united than the aristocratic armies in the Holy Sect world.

Not to mention their ironclad paladers, which are cavalry units on par with the Knights of the Holy Grail, the Knights Templar, and the Knights of the Empire's Sunshine, and the number has reached a terrifying three thousand, which is so powerful.

The Astra Kingdom is almost like this, the appearance of eighty or ninety thousand regular troops, this is the strength of the top power in the continent, and other kingdoms can't compare with it at all!

But in William's opinion, they are just like that, although he can't afford to provoke now, but it doesn't mean that he can't be provoked in the future, anyway, he is only thirty years old now, and he still has thirty years to live, and in seventeen years, he will develop his territory so prosperously, there is no reason why he can't catch up with these countries in another thirty years.

But seriously, after he learned about the strength of these countries, he was also stimulated, and he was eager to strengthen his strength.

"After I go back this time, I must expand my own direct army to tens of thousands, anyway, I have plenty of finances, and tens of thousands of troops can afford to raise them, and then try my best to expand the territory and recruit vassals on a large scale!"

William thought in his heart: "At that time, the brigade will not be enough, a brigade of four hundred people, now it is eleven brigades, and when the time comes, with three brigades of 1,200 people as one rate, and three rates as one division, the Denglenburg infantry will be expanded to three divisions, and then the archers and crossbowmen will also be expanded on a large scale, and the number of knights and other knights also seems to be a little small, and they must also be expanded!" ”

William said that he didn't care about the strength of the two empires, but he was still stimulated, and he began to obsess about the number of troops in his tent.

"It seems that the number of 30,000 is more appropriate, and I can afford it, so let's just do it!"

"As for the territory...... The Cher people can be annexed, but it seems that the territory of the Cher is not too large, so where should the next one be annexed? ”

William began to struggle with unrealistic things, and although he was now thirty-three years old and a high earl, he still began to be stupid at some point.

After the annexation of Chekel, there was no place to expand, and then he laughed at himself: "After all, I am still a vassal!" And it's not a good mix! ”

Thinking of King Hechard's attitude towards him, he felt that his future vassal life would not be easy.

But immediately, he opened his eyes and thought carefully: "Vassal...... Why do you have to be a vassal? ”

Although these words were not heard by others, they had been deeply engraved into William's heart, and he might take root at some point.

After more than ten days, the Eastern Road Jihadist finally broke through the nails in front of them, Fort Darlings, and annihilated all the enemies inside, and came to the agreed meeting place.

"Great, Earl William! Looks like your plan has worked! King Leonac and Archbishop Bailinsin said happily when they saw William.

"Yes, thanks to the two adults, I succeeded!"

"How can we help, oh, your father is here, and he is very worried about you during this time!"

William turned his gaze to the other side, walked to Archduke Wallace's side, kissed the back of his hand affectionately and respectfully, and said, "Father, I've worried you! ”

"It's okay, my son has done such a big and glorious deed, it's too late for me to be happy!" Archduke Wallace said with a red face.
