Delceth then began to look at the papers in the Governor's study, which contained the things that Baron Nair had left behind.

The strength of the surrounding forces and countries, as well as the attitude towards himself, he must understand all of this.

Even if he was not ordered to expand, but to defend the colony, he had to know this as the governor of the region.

What's more, he came here for the war to expand the colony.

So these are the compulsory courses he has to learn.

After reading this, Delseth has a new goal for his next move.

Count Maras, who often secretly instigated his people to cross the border to the Duchy of Mainek in search of food or hunting.

This is a rather provocation for another country in this day and age.

During his tenure as Baron Nair, he was bent on stability, and he only protested many times, and there was no real conflict.

As soon as Delseth saw what Count Maras had done, his heart was filled with rage.

But he knew it was a great opportunity.

The surrounding countries are intimidated by the power of the Kingdom of Lorique, and have frequently courted the Duchy of Maineke in recent times, because they know that the Duchy of Maineke is a colony controlled by the Kingdom of Lorique.

Although there are some that have not changed, they also restrain the actions of their subordinates and resolutely prevent any conflict with the Duchy of Maineke.

But even so, there are still a few jumping clowns bouncing in front of the Duchy of Maineke.

In the past, there were not many garrisons in the Duchy of Maineke, and even with William's additional troops, there was only one town, that is, a force of 1,200 men.

Although these troops are more than enough to defend a principality, if they want to send troops, they will definitely lead to an empty country.

After all, this is a colony, and no one knows when a secret enemy will appear.

Although 1,200 royal infantry is a force that many principalities cannot resist, it is not easy to maintain stability on many fronts.

Together with the local recruitment of servants in the Principality of Maineke, it was only then that the security of the Principality of Mainek was improved.

After all, the Duchy of Mainek is a colony, and William wants a lot of benefits, if there are still many territories in the hands of the nobles, then why does William still want this colony?

Therefore, most of the Principality of Maineke was under the control of the Governor, and all of them belonged to William, which is why so many troops were needed to maintain law and order.

Of course, William did not order Baron Nair to perform too cruel acts, when he fought with William, many nobles died on the battlefield, and after the Duchy of Maineke was accepted as a colony, many nobles tried to resist, and all of them were brutally suppressed by Baron Nair with his army.

Don't look at Baron Nair's usual appearance of a good man, but when it comes to the bottom line, he is never soft.

This errand that William arranged for him was his bottom line, and if these people wanted to touch his bottom line, they had to face his thunderous wrath.

As a result, a large number of nobles fell one after another, and in addition to the disobedient and those who died on the battlefield, there were also criminal nobles who were also exiled.

In the current Duchy of Maineke, only some of the most obedient nobles of the Kingdom of Lorik still exist, so Delceth quickly mastered the colony.

A large amount of land means that a large number of soldiers are needed to patrol, and it would be difficult to master without the presence of a servant army.

But now it's good, and the army of a division brought by Delseth suddenly fills the armed forces of the Principality of Maineke.

Even if a foreign war is launched, there will be absolutely no accidents.

Delseth had already found his first target, and that was Count Maras, who was often at odds with the previous governor, Baron Nell.

Although the target had been found, Delceth was not ready to send troops immediately.

He knew that the royal infantry division alone could not afford a large-scale war, and now the servant army of the Principality of Mainek was about 4,000 people, and if it really encountered the alliance of other countries, these troops were estimated to be of little use.

Although the only country near the Duchy of Mainek that is strong, and the only kingdom, the Kingdom of Senmoril, is relatively strong, it seems that they are not enemies of the Kingdom of Lorik.

even consciously or unintentionally courted the former Governor, Baron Nair.

In the vicinity of the Duchy of Maineke alone, there were two separate counties and three duchies, and these areas were enough for Delceth to expand for a long time.

Delceth planned to recruit some servants again to train them, and then turn them into soldiers who were stronger than serfs and had some combat effectiveness.

In the opposite case, the royal infantry could be relied on on the frontal battlefield, while these servant armies could be used elsewhere, not to mention, even if these servant armies were not strong, they were certainly much better than serf conscripts.

At least they won't see the enemy and scatter in all directions, and be demoralized after a few blows.

This is also a great effect on the increase in combat effectiveness, not to mention that if you attack the city and do a battle, you must not be able to child the precious royal infantry, so these servant troops have become the best choice.

Therefore, Delseth intends to carry forward this cheap and convenient class of troops, so that they can become another main force in future battles.

More than a month later, De Cess officially intended to send troops, as the governor of the Principality of Mainek, and he was here to say nothing, and his intention had been reported through the carrier pigeon and William, who gave the governor a different right to the position.

In fact, it is not different, and generals who go out to lead the army will also have this right, that is, the right to respond to the situation.

If everything needs to be decided by William, then what else does William need them to do, not to mention that the situation on the front line is ever-changing, and the fighters are fleeting, if they have to spend a lot of time talking to William at this time, it will definitely cause a lot of losses.

And the colony meant that it was far from the mainland, so the governor had to have this right.

The royal infantry was assembled, and this time he would dispatch two towns, a force of 2,400 soldiers, and a wing of the Knights of the Iron Cross.

He was to take two-thirds of the archers and crossbowmen, and in addition to that, he was to take two thousand men with the servants.

In total, Delceth mobilized a total of 7,000 soldiers for this war.

In fact, before the soldiers were mobilized, the logistics staff and some attendants, as well as the orc slaves, had already begun to prepare.

Arrows, spare guns, spare spear heads and riding spears, bean feed for the horses with alfalfa grass, eggs mixed with feed, armor replacement, and plenty of grain and jerky and dairy products, all of which were to be prepared.

It took a large number of personnel more than half a month to prepare for this huge amount of rigid needs.

A month later, the royal infantry assembled in one place to be inspected in front of Delceth.
