After the two went down to change their equipment, the two duel in the hall.

William's shining sword reflected the light of the oil lamp, the chain mail on his body was covered by his overcoat, and he had a knight's shield tied to his left hand, and he bowed his body and made a T-shape, looking at each other with fierce eyes.

"I want you to challenge, Sir Miller, a knight under the command of Baron Wells!" Miller said proudly.

"What is in front of you, the knight of Baron Comos, Sir "Mad the Mad" Sir William! William said.

Miller vaguely felt that this name seemed to be a little familiar, and he felt that he had heard it somewhere, but he didn't take it to heart, if it was a famous knight, he would definitely remember it, and if he hadn't heard of it, it would be an unknown person.

The two of them held their swords and stared at each other tightly, no one would underestimate the enemy at this time, if they lost, not only their own face, but even the face of the feudal monarch would be lost.

William waited for the opponent to strike first, and he rarely struck first against opponents of similar strength, because if the first attack did not hit, there would be a moment of stiffness, and it was easy to be seized by the opportunity to counterattack.

Having said that, but Miller obviously didn't realize this, maybe his fighting style was like this, the long sword opened and closed to want William to sweep over, William dodged, and there was more past.

William's way of fighting was well known to William, who took a step forward and swung his one-handed sword quickly, wanting to slash at the opponent's waist.

Unexpectedly, Miller turned around and used a move that would only be used when using a giant axe, and with a twist of inertia, the long sword slashed down diagonally above William.

The scene was in crisis for a while, Baron Comos's face was very ugly, and the people on his side exclaimed one after another, but Baron Wells was full of spring, and his knights had already begun to cheer in victory.

But how could William let him succeed, he didn't have never encountered an enemy with a giant axe, he knew how to deal with this move, if it was a giant axe, he wouldn't dare to take it hard, but he wasn't afraid of a long sword.

The long sword that originally wanted to slash at the opponent's waist suddenly changed its trajectory, and slashed upwards to block the long sword that was slashing towards him.

Baron Comos's face was much better, and his knights were relieved, while the other party had an ugly face.

William relied on his flexibility, his height of more than 1.70 meters was much more flexible than Miller, he dodged left and right, and harassed several times with his sword from time to time.

William deliberately bought a flaw and used a trick to deceive the position, which was found in many schools of Germanic swordsmanship in his previous life.

Immediately, Miller was hit, he stabbed like William with a sword, William immediately stretched out the sword, the two swords overlapped, William twisted the long sword, and turned, Miller's long sword suddenly took off his hand, William did not use the long sword, and kicked Miller in the stomach.

Miller clutched his stomach and bent down, and William quickly raised his sword around his neck.

Miller didn't dare to move, as long as he made the slightest movement, William's sword would definitely pierce his neck in an instant, ending his life.

"You've lost! Now you're my captive! William said with a smile.

"Oh! William! ”

"Roar, fix him hard!"

"Pigs who want to provoke us!"

The knights on Baron Comos's side cheered, mixed with ridicule and ridicule at Baron Wells' men.

"I will pay the ransom, put down your sword now!" Baron Wells said with a look of displeasure on his face.

The ransom in this world is different from the Western Middle Ages in the previous life, the Western Middle Ages in the previous life was paid by the captives themselves, but not here, the ransom here is divided into three parts, the captive pays one to keep him from making mistakes, and the feudal king gives one so that he does not make mistakes in command and causes his subordinates to be captured, and his colleagues give a share so that they can learn to cooperate with their teammates, so if William proposes an amount that is not too excessive, it is not difficult for them to come up with it.

"All right, my lord, but he is my captive, and I want him to be under my control." Although William said this, he did not put down the sword in his hand, and asked the servants in the hall to come and tie him up and take him down.

Baron Wells's face turned pale, and he roared loudly: "Enough, this is an insult to me, Baron Comos, is this your order?" Stop being hypocritical! The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, we will have a decisive battle on the banks of the Rune! With that, he left Comos Manor with his knights in a rage.

Seeing Baron Comos looking at himself, William shrugged his shoulders and said: One less knight on the other side, we will be less dangerous, especially us! As he spoke, he pointed to the knights beside him, after all, the knights of the other side should also be dealt with by them.

When he arrived at Comos Manor, William wanted to see Wella very much, and he had seen Wella several times in the past three months, which could be said to be lovesick, but helplessly, the war was about to begin, and it was unreasonable to see an unmarried noble lady like this.

After the feast, it was already getting dark, and William, along with Urimu and Norwen, went to the town's arsenal to buy swords and leather armor.

However, there is not much stock here, and in the end there is still a piece of leather armor and two spears, William had to find Secretary Tins and go to the warehouse to replenish the equipment.

When the peasants got their equipment, they were pleasantly surprised, they had never been in battle before, and even the most generous baron had never given them even a single piece of light leather armor.

The peasants happily put on their leather armor and picked up their spears, but they also looked like old men, and the peasants, oh now the armed light infantry, they looked at each other, and they could see the excitement in each other's eyes.

William not only bought spears and leather armor in the market, but since one leather armor and two spears were taken from the manor's warehouse, he had some spare money, and spent five silver coins to buy a thick piece of cloth, which was cut and made into three sets of cloth horse armor that could be worn on the horse and protect the front half of the horse.

Although it cannot be compared with the Chinese horse armor, chain mail horse armor, and later plate armor horse armor, at least it still has some effect, which can prevent most of the weak arrows, so that the horse will not be injured or frightened by the arrow, and also reduces the probability of the three people dying on the battlefield.

"William, you're doing a good job!" Norwen sighed, but he was not too surprised, after all, this thing is not comparable to chain mail horse armor, and its effect is limited, at most it can protect against weak arrows, even if it is cut by a sword, it cannot constitute effective protection.

The next morning, a mess began, the army began to assemble, Baron Comos gathered more than seventy armed infantry in fine leather armor, and more than a hundred farmers directly under his domain, the farmers brought by the knights, that is, the light infantry counted William, a total of more than seventy people, the knight William's men could not be regarded as light infantry, they should be armed light infantry, after all, the farmers with swords and leather armor in their hands were completely different from their farmers with dung forks.

Counting the knights' retinues, a total of two hundred and seventy or eighty men were assembled at the gate of the manor, followed by a dozen large wagons, on which were tents and food and other things.

There are also some small businessmen who accompany the army and want to get a piece of the battlefield pie, and there are a few ** found by Baron Comos, otherwise it is easy for the soldiers to quit the battle.

The group walked to the Lune River, doing everything, but most of them were drinking the ale on the carriage behind, and the Loald people had always teased the habit of drinking wine before the war, which made William very worried, what if the enemy attacked at this time? The drunken and muddy combat effectiveness is completely lost.

Even if no one came to sneak attack, the next day's hangover might reduce the soldier's combat effectiveness, and William made up his mind to ban alcohol in his own troops.

However, William is not in charge of this unit now, so William has nothing to say, so he can only let them go, and even Urimu and Norwen have joined the ranks of drinking.

In the afternoon, a group of soldiers and knights were so drunk that they dragged the knights into the tents they had set up, and the big-headed soldiers were not treated like this, and could only fall asleep on the road.

The next morning, William woke up the two men beside him, and then woke up the sleeping soldiers, and today was the date of the war, and they had to be refreshed.

"Lord Baron, the war is about to begin, let the soldiers sober up first!" William suggested to Baron Comos.

Baron Comos glanced at the listless soldiers, a sign of a hangover, and asked, "Well, let them run for a while!" "Running is a good way to get rid of hangovers a lot of times.

After all the soldiers recovered their spirits, Baron Comos sent someone to send a war letter to Baron Wells, officially arranging the war for the afternoon.

After a humble lunch, William was fully armed, mounted on a pack horse, with his right hand holding a riding spear diagonally on the horse's back, and a knight's shield tied to his left hand, leading the horse he had ridden in battle. Counting William, the ten knights had gathered together and gathered in front of Baron Comos.

There were more than 30 servants in total, just outside the knights, and later because of the well-equipped Urimu and Norwen, they were not inferior to the knights, so they were transferred to the knights' team, in short, when they charged, there would be twelve knights, which was only eight knights compared to the opposite Baron of Wells who removed the captured Miller, and the number was already occupied.

The baron's armed infantry formed a decent phalanx, but the phalanx formed by the other peasants was undisciplined and completely chaotic, but fortunately it was at least a phalanx.

The phalanx of the Baron of Wales on the opposite side was also similar to this side, except for the armed infantry of the lineage, it was all chaotic.
