The meadows of the Chekels were swelling, and William was marching with his troops.

In order to lighten the burden, the soldiers at this time wore only a leather armor, and their heavy scale armor was placed on top of the carriage.

The same was true of the knights, whose armor was also very heavy, and both the horse armor and the knight's own armor were placed on the carriage drawn by the horse.

There were five or six hundred wagons in the whole procession, loaded with food, military supplies such as arrow shafts, tents, and iron armor of the whole army.

The march of such a large force was very remarkable, but all the people of Denlenburg knew William's characteristic cross on a white background, and they all understood that this was their lord's march.

Such a team not only reassured his people, but also deterred the lawless elements hidden in the territory, and the matter of committing traitors suddenly became less common.

Dressed in a modest garment, William rode on his carefully selected horseback and walked leisurely along the path that ran through the territory.

Since this is still in his territory, there is no danger from this, because William has long cleared the entire territory of bandits and bandits, and the patrols of his brother's town, as well as the militia, will also carry out regular sweeps under William's orders.

Therefore, at least on the surface, the whole of Denlenburg is peaceful and peaceful, and there is no outlaw.

"Where is it now?" William looked back and asked casually.

After listening to the map drawn by the Dark Dagger from his bosom, and after comparing the terrain, Norwin said to William: "We are now about a kilometer away from Ross Manor, and we are about twenty kilometers away, and we are about to leave the territory of Denlenburg County and enter the territory of the Middle Chekers!" ”

After listening to Norwen's answer, William nodded, and then said: "Let the ordinary soldiers put on armor, and the other half of the soldiers will remain unchanged, and then take turns to be on guard!" ”

"After all, we are about to reach the enemy's territory, and we may face a sneak attack from the enemy at any time!"

Norwin nodded and began to go down to arrange for the soldiers to be on guard.

In the evening of the next day, William and his party finally left Denlenburgshire and entered the territory of the Chekels.

They were now stationed in a meadow, and the camp of more than 3,000 men was in good order under William's arrangement, in fact, there was no need for William to arrange it, and the Slow Mandes Infantry Drill Ceremony had stipulated this aspect.

William's order was only for those nobles, and if they were not camped properly, it would be very easy for William's army to be affected if they were attacked.

In this way, the camp was neatly constructed, and a ring of horses was placed as a fortification on the outermost part, and William, the sentry in charge of the sentry, arranged a full two hundred men.

William, who had a lot of money, brought enough tents, and everyone was able to sleep in warm tents, looking at the neatly arranged roads, William nodded, this arrangement allowed all the soldiers to gather together in the fastest time.

And the military chickens, because of the loss of the number of troops, were expanded to about 500 by William, of course, they are only responsible for William's direct troops, and the armies of other nobles are not responsible, who knows if they bring some diseases, it will not be good if they are infected.

At this time, they were working hard to serve the soldiers in the tent, after all, the war was about to start, which was also a reward or encouragement.

On the periphery of William's tent, there were many merchants wandering around, and they generally did not have a large business, hoping to buy some booty and make some small fortunes, or sell some small goods to these well-paid soldiers.

In addition, there are some pheasants looking for their prey outside the camp, but they are destined to be disappointed, there are William's official military chickens in the camp, and William prohibits having a relationship with the chicken girls outside, so in William's army, they will definitely not have business.

That is, the army of the nobles, they will not spend money to form military chickens for these soldiers, and these pheasants have become the only hope for the soldiers.

At this time, William's tent was already full, and all his vassals and three of Norven's vassals were also inside.

And while William and his vassals were gathering, there was a discussion going on in the tent of the Tyriro chief of Central Cherc.

The chieftain tent of the Central Chekr is actually like a castle, after all, they are not completely nomadic and do not live the same as the Kriza.

But even so, they were not pure agrarian people, the construction technology was really poor, and the whole castle was not large, more than twice as small as William's Mandesburg.

In the council hall of the castle, more than three hundred leaders of the warriors of the Middle Cheker tribe were gathered.

At this time, there were more than thirty people in the council hall, and the warriors they were talking about were actually adult males, not some standing elite forces.

As a semi-nomadic people, they drink the Kriza somewhat similarly, as long as they are adult men, they are a qualified warrior.

Chief Tyriro sat on the top chair, holding a golden scepter carved with a wolf's head, and an ornament made of gold, silver, and gemstones, in addition to a composite of scales and armor.

He looked like a wolf, and said in a hoarse voice, "You damned pigheads! Give me a moment of silence! ”

As barbarians in the eyes of the Lordes, they certainly don't speak so much etiquette, and as their powerful rulers, Chief Tiliro is qualified to insult anyone.

Of course, this is provided that he has enough strength.

After Chief Tyriró's reprimand, the originally noisy chamber fell silent, ready to listen to his speech.

"The Sicekers, who don't think they have the support to start arrogance, and now they're wreaking havoc on our pastures!"

"We are indeed not afraid of them, but William, Earl of the Loerdes in the southwest, is going to wage war against us, and they have three thousand elite regular troops!"

As he spoke, he glanced at the crowd to see their reactions, and then said: "Three thousand regular troops, we can mobilize more than 10,000 soldiers with all our strength!" ”

"I can send five thousand men, who is willing to lead five thousand men to deal with the attack of the Count of the Lordes!"

The people below looked at each other, as if they wanted the most wonderful thing to do, and for a moment they scrambled to ask Chief Tyriro for battle.

After all, in their eyes, it was 5,000 tribal warriors, and the Manders infantry were still ordinary in their eyes, the kind of armed infantry that had undergone simple training and wore leather armor.

Knights can be tricky, but with the valiant warriors of the tribe, it's nothing.

The ignorant pride of the Chekers, who do not know where it comes from, will sooner or later kill their entire community.
