Time flies, three years pass in a flash, and the Kingdom of Lorik has developed rapidly during this time, and infrastructure construction has risen rapidly.

The number of farmland suitable for cultivation has increased several times in three years, and although it is not as good as the agricultural cores of Denlenburg and Issamdenburg, it is not far behind.

The kingdom of Lorik once again became a major exporter of grain, and after storing enough grain, it was not enough to eat, which caused some decay, so William exported this grain to the grain-scarce areas on the mainland.

The export of grain alone can bring the kingdom of Lorik nearly two million silver coins a year.

In addition, the Kingdom of Lorik is also extremely prosperous in commerce, and has become a commercial center on almost the entire continent.

Merchants from all over the world came here to do business, and in addition to business taxes, all kinds of entertainment facilities were also William's cash cows.

In this era when the royal family is the state, there is no distinction between the treasury and the royal treasury, the treasury is the royal treasury, and the royal treasury is also the treasury.

The stone paved roads throughout the kingdom made the internal traffic of the kingdom very smooth, and William's army could reach anywhere from Denlenburg in fifteen days, so his control over the kingdom of Lorik was unparalleled.

It is worth mentioning that the Lillard Kingdom, which provoked William before, has become honest in the past three years, and has shown goodwill to William many times, I don't know if it wants to get William's forgiveness or what.

Charlemagne is nineteen years old, and Illya gave birth to a son, William's first grandson.

Emperor Greine was overjoyed to learn about this, and he directly gave the child the title of Count of Basra.

And sent a lot of gifts for his grandson, and the relationship between the two countries even entered a honeymoon period.

The most important point is that after three years of operation, the inhabitants of the entire Lorik Kingdom have completely turned to William, even more than the original Denlenburg and Issamdenburg.

The militia policy was also in place in other parts of the kingdom of Lorik, so after William expanded the army again, there were also a considerable number of inhabitants of the kingdom, and the composition of the army was no longer just the people of Denlenburg and Issamdenburg.

The current infantry of the royal army has expanded from three divisions to five divisions, that is, 18,000 men, each of whom has undergone a full year of training, except for the lack of battlefield experience, the level of training is no worse than that of the veterans of the royal infantry.

The armor on their bodies was the same as that of the soldiers they had been, it was the same heavy two-and-a-half-layer armor, and the spears of three meters and five meters made them look majestic.

Of course, William's strength was not only this, in addition to the infantry, the archers and crossbowmen were also expanded by him.

However, the scale of the expansion did not want to be as large as the infantry, after all, it took a lot of time to manufacture their recurve bows and pulley crossbows.

The recurve bow alone has to go through many processes such as bow taming and drying, and each process requires a lot of time to perform.

Even in three years, William's accumulated recurve bows would make the number of pulley crossbows not very large.

Now William's archers and crossbowmen are only 12,000 people, 8,000 archers, and 4,000 crossbowmen.

In addition, the myopic guards and heavy infantry, which had withdrawn from the main army of the Lorik Kingdom for a long time, were also expanded to more than 2,000 by William, and William planned to reuse them from the beginning, and he now had a trace of the idea of fighting for hegemony, how could such a powerful army be discarded?

William is not afraid of spending money, anyway, now that the infrastructure of the Kingdom of Lorik has been basically completed, the expenses have been reduced, but all of them have become income, so William's income is quite large every year, and the income of more than 10 million silver coins per year has made him no worse than the Rodland Empire financially.

However, William's army cost much more than the Lordland Empire, so he did not support as many direct troops as Emperor Grayne.

The Knights of the Iron Cross have been praised on the road in recent years, and now they have a faint rhythm of competing with the Knights of the Holy Grail, the first knight of the mainland.

The huge strength made William's waist gradually stiffen, and he began to be less humble to the church, and slowly hardened.

For the Rhodeland Empire, William even dared to face the opposite, and when there was a conflict of interest, they William would not give up an inch of land, and he was very confident.

He was confident that even if there was a real war with the Rhodesan Empire, it would not necessarily be who would win.

Now the seeds planted by William more than ten years ago have finally matured, and the children of which knights have grown up and become excellent knights.

When their fathers died, they could take their place, and though they might not be as good as their father, they were far superior to the foreign knights.

They are a group of people who support William, in fact, the current kingdom of Lorik, because the kingdom has not been established for a long time, there are no irreconcilable contradictions, so almost everyone supports William.

A lot of things have happened in the past few years, such as the fact that Urimu finally found his true love, that is, William took over the leader of the Assassin Order, Ariel.

Both parties are over thirty years old, and finally after five years of bickering, they obeyed their true feelings and officially became husband and wife.

And Ariel also gave birth to his first eldest son with a title, not some bastards who were despised and disrecognized.

And Delceth is still exercising brutal rule in the area of the Principality of Mainek, thousands of miles away, where the inhabitants are not the natives of the Principality of Maineke, the areas he conquers are worse than death.

A large number of people and orc slaves were transported to the mainland of the Lorik Kingdom, and it can be said that as long as it was William's own private property, there was no need for serfs to help him.

These orc slaves mined the small gold mines and the large quantities of high-quality iron ore that dotted the two counties of the steppe, and most of the aqueducts were also made by them.

In fact, William wanted to get gunpowder, but after much deliberation, he chose to abandon it.

After all, it is not yet time, and it can be said that the development of gunpowder weapons was the beginning of the decline of the feudal lords, and gunpowder and muskets shattered the knight lord class.

If the gunpowder had been brought out, the fortresses and fortresses that William had painstakingly built would have become useless stone houses.

Gunpowder weapons would lose their defensive function, so William would never use gunpowder to shorten his family's rule.

Judging from the current humanistic level of the Holy Sect world, the Middle Ages will last at least four or five hundred years, and making gunpowder in advance will only make his Wang Chao end early.
