The nobles listened to what the Count said, and did not express any opinion, because they all knew that the Earl's words had not yet been finished, and even His Majesty the King had to be reasonable. {_新+思+路+中+文+网_新版_ 0m plain text}.org

They are not willing to pay for nothing without receiving any benefits, and if His Majesty cannot come up with a price that will appeal to them, then do not blame them for being disloyal.

What's more, it doesn't matter whether they are loyal or disloyal, it is the counts who are loyal to the king, and they are only loyal to the counts.

The Earl had been in power for many years, and of course he knew the character of these nobles well, and said: "Of course, His Majesty the King will not let us pay in vain, as long as we succeed in capturing Laughlinburg, then the tax in the Denlenburg area will be exempted for the next twenty years!" ”

The nobles looked at each other and nodded, the price was satisfactory to them, but they still expected greater benefits.

Of course the Count knew what they meant, and greed was a characteristic of every nobleman, so it was not something to be unspeakable about.

smiled, and then said: "At the same time, His Majesty promised that the two iron mines under the control of the royal family will send us one-thirtieth of the output every year, that is, a thousand kilograms of iron!" ”

And ...... All are provided to us free of charge! ”

As soon as these words were thrown, the nobles immediately exclaimed: "Is this true? If that's the case, we're more than willing to help His Majesty! ”

"Yes, since His Majesty the King needs our help, it is incumbent upon us!"

Who would not say high-sounding words, and the nobles expressed their stance on this matter one after another, as if it were not them who hesitated just now.

"Very well, then the negotiation with the Sicekels will be left to Baron William, if it costs anything, I can report to the king, or I will personally compensate you, and let it go!" The Earl looked at William and said.

William nodded: "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best!" ”

"Still." William asked again: "Since His Majesty has asked us to take Laughlinburg, has he told us about the disposition of Laughlinburg's forces?" ”

William has always felt that what the old ancestor said made sense, knowing himself and knowing that he would not be defeated in a hundred battles, knowing himself without knowing the other, winning and losing, not knowing himself and not knowing the other, and every battle would be destroyed!

If you don't even understand the strength of the other party, how can you win a battle.

"Of course I know this, His Majesty's plan has been planned for a long time, and the information on Laughlinburg has been collected and distributed relatively completely!"

"The town guards stationed in the castle with a number of one hundred and fifty people are usually commanded by the mayor of Laughlinburg, and the number of regular troops there is not too much, only more than three hundred armed infantry stationed in the Kingdom of Ribone, and more than twenty guardian knights where the church is!"

"But if they really mobilize, it is estimated that they can also arm some citizens to participate in the battle!"

"As for some of the small estates and small nobles scattered around Laughlinburg, they are negligible, because the Kingdom of Ribborn and the church want to be able to fully control the grain-producing land of Laughlinburg, and there is no division here, they are all small nobles who control one or two villages, we don't need to care about them!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that you will be able to fight with all your might, the Laughlinburg region will be richer than Issamdenburg, although the population may be a little different, but it will be richer than Issamdenburg, and if we can take it, we will get rich again!"

Of course, the nobles knew this, but after announcing it, it turned out to be so tempting, their expressions were fanatical, and they said excitedly, "Don't worry, Lord Earl, we will do our best to fight!" ”

"My lord, I think if we want to conquer Laughlinburg unnoticed, we can't take too many people with us, such as light infantry, they will definitely not be able to follow, they have poor discipline and weak combat effectiveness!"

"Not only will it slow down the march, but it will not have much effect on the battle, except for the consumption of the opponent, it will no longer have any effect."

"What we're going to do is a surprise attack, and if we bring a group of light infantry who are dragging our movements, then our concealment will definitely be reduced, and maybe our whereabouts will be revealed before Laughlin is white."

"So I think it's good that we'll just bring elite armed infantry and knights when the time comes!"

Hearing these words, the Earl couldn't help but nod his head in agreement, anyway, after the war, the number of armed infantry that could be taken out of the entire Denlenburg was still about fifteen hundred, and it was not difficult to conquer a castle with only five hundred garrisons.

What's more, he also knew that the number of armed infantry under William alone was more than six hundred, and the nobles had seen Lolitsa as early as William's marriage, and at the same time he had heard of his deeds.

What's more, William's soldiers who have to train every day are very eye-catching, and they can't hide it if they want to, so in Denlenburg, William's strength is obvious to all, and he is more convincing when he says these words.

"What you said is very good, it really deserves to be our famous Denlenburg Fox, is there anything else you want to say, I still want to hear your opinion."

"Well, there's more." William went on to say that his thoughts, as a powerful nobleman in Denlenburg, with a military power and population not inferior to that of a viscount, he did not need to hide anything, and his words were already quite important. ”

"I think it is important to inform His Majesty before we set out, so that he can quickly support us, and we will definitely face a frantic counterattack from the enemy after we capture Laughlinburg, so we must have enough reinforcements."

With that, he looked at the Count and signaled that he had finished speaking.

The nobles then dispersed back to their respective domains, and William returned to his own territory, bringing with him more than five hundred Manders infantry, as well as more than forty untrained heavy infantry, ten rudiments of the Golden Lion Guard, twenty-two knights, seven well-trained midshipmen, and thirty heavy cavalry who had completed their basic training, plus forty-six veterans of the heavy cavalry.

Together with the number of archers who had been replenished among the hunters, there were seven hundred and seventy-five in total.

Only a hundred Manders infantry were left to take care of the security of the manor, and there would be no unsightly people to wreak havoc in the territory during this time.

The soldiers' equipment has been fully equipped, and even the mercenaries who joined later have a set of iron scale armor, no different from the ordinary Dumandes infantry.

William's policy of mixing sand was very successful, and each squad, column, had a different composition of Lomi Valley veterans, later recruits, and mercenaries.

The army is the place where people can be transformed the most, and in the atmosphere of the army, they have basically changed all the bad problems when they were mercenaries, except for the fact that they may not be as good as the merits in terms of discipline, they have already found no trace of mercenaries.
