By this time and in late spring, more than two months into the war and negotiations, the heat wave had begun to spread through the air. Worth collecting

The beasts of the mountains and forests had weakened after a spring estrus period, and finally they had no longer roared all day, and began to look for a place to escape the heat in the coming scorching summer.

The squire nobles who were supposed to be wandering around the countryside were also nowhere to be seen, because they were all sent to war by their own lords, a war with an uncertain future.

Mountains and forests have been built, and some heat-intolerant creatures have begun to look for a good place to escape the heat, and the farmers in the fields are still busy with their work, although the farmers in Denlenburg have more efficient ways to sow seeds, but the large area of arable land still keeps them busy until almost summer.

Having said that, they were as happy as they could, and under William's decree, they could get sixty percent of the year's harvest, which was much better than the two or three percent of the serfs in other regions, or simply the serfs who worked hard.

Moreover, with William's technological innovation and the expansion of the cultivated area, after four years of hard work, no one will go hungry, and he will still be able to save some surplus food or copper coins to spend.

This was almost impossible before, but now it's a reality, and sometimes they even have the money to go to a tavern owned by William or other businessmen for a few drinks with their good friends.

In recent years, Denlenburg has also been the same as the previous Mandes Manor, the inhabitants have grown dramatically, the teenagers and children have become more robust, and dairy and meat products have also developed greatly in the territory.

William took his troops, as well as the wounded soldiers, and a large number of baggage, from the royal capital to his own territory of Dellenburg.

He sat in a large carriage with a full basin of ice in it, and several of his vassals could not stand the heat and burrowed into William's carriage to escape the heat.

Now William's nobles are all loyal to him, because those nobles who have little loyalty to him have defected in the previous battle, and he has captured three people, and he will judge them when he returns to the realm, and whether to hang them or dismembered them is under consideration.

In the cool carriage, he recalled the scene of his departure from the royal capital, and after Queen Dareen led Prince Hechard with King Lyrner, he saw William off.

"In the future, it is impossible for me to stay in the Kingdom of Cikma often, Count William, the two of them will ask you, don't give anyone a chance!"

King Lerna looked at William and told him heavily, he was really afraid that someone would have ideas about the throne of the Kingdom of Cikma and frame the mother and daughter.

That's why he said to William, although he couldn't completely trust any of them, but, relatively speaking, William was the more trustworthy person.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty King Lerner, King Brolin and Queen Dareen have been very gracious to me, I am not the kind of person who is ungrateful, and I must keep and remember the oath I made before the former king, and support the rule of the Renoians.

"Good!" King Lyrna nodded, looked at the smiling Queen Daileen and the ignorant Prince Hechard, and said, "In two months, little Hechard will inherit his father's throne, and there will be a grand ceremony at that time, I am waiting for you to come!" ”

William couldn't help but be in a trance when he heard this, Prince Hechard was about to inherit the throne, and the voice and smile of the original King Brolin were still in William's mind.

Although he didn't have a deep affection or friendship with King Brolin, he did take good care of himself for so long.

And he promoted himself very much, and now he may be more melancholy, such a powerful man, who died under the hooves of an obscure war horse, which made him feel all kinds of impermanence.

He is more and more determined to seize opportunities and opportunities.

"Okay, I'll be back!"

William nodded, and then smiled at Queen Daileen and Prince Hechard.

"Then, dear King Lerna, we'll see you in two months!"

In this way, he got into his luxurious carriage that was placed in the royal capital and set out on the journey home.

Along the way, after leaving the city of Brijek, it was almost devastated, and the ground was littered with human corpses, the ruins of burned villages, and the carcasses of livestock and charred corpses.

Even after several days, there were still unburned logs lying on the ground, and the few remaining flames that had burned were burning helplessly, trying to find new fuel.

Some of the wild beasts roamed the villages they had never dared to set foot in, and the corpses left behind after the bloody bath became their richest meal, and they were extremely grateful to those creatures with strange fur who slaughtered their own kind for providing them with such a sumptuous meal.

In this battle, William's Denlenburg infantry lost about 1,000 people, nearly half of the losses, the knights also suffered more than 100 casualties, the heavy cavalry also suffered more than 100 casualties, the light cavalry suffered even greater damage, the light cavalry of 400 people lost more than 200 people, and the light cavalry of Hulimu was also about the same.

The heavy infantry losses are not very large, but their training is the most difficult, especially the Golden Lion Guards, they need to take it for a long time, and they don't even want to form it in a year or two.

This battle directly caused William to lose more than one-third of his combat effectiveness, and if it were not for the fact that the enemy did not break up and did not use the light armored infantry, it is estimated that the light armored infantry with weak armor would have suffered greater casualties.

In this way, the wounded and crippled soldiers were pulled on the carriage behind, ready to go back to be appeased, while the soldiers of the needle king were buried in place, and only brought back the name tags issued to them.

Once you get to Denlenburg, it's a different story, except for a few charred villages on the edge, everything else is still alive.

Jerky meat, cattle and sheep, cultivated land, and a large number of granaries everywhere, as well as the militia that has begun to train during the off-season, all show the strength of the territory.

William couldn't help but nodded, he was very satisfied with the scene in front of him, it seemed that he had formed a militia by himself It was a very correct choice, without these militiamen, Denglenburg might have to face the enemy's plundering and occupation.

It can be said that the militia also played a very strong role in this war.

The injured fraternity member Ariel was surprised when she arrived in Denlenburg, although she had heard of the richness of Denlenburg and the wealth of Earl William, but he really did not expect that the famous Denlenburg would be the scene of wealth in front of him.

Perhaps, this is the paradise that their brotherhood has always passed on by word of mouth, always fed and clothed, no one will starve to death, honest officials, endless food reserves, meat and milk, the sweet smell of honey in the air, all the good things intoxicated Ariel, she has confused the difference between heaven and earth.

That's it, or she didn't see a few cities and towns that were rubbing shoulders and full of people, if he really saw a prosperous and clean city, then she was afraid that she would faint.
