William had to thank the Empire of Rodland, a country that he had always regarded as an imaginary enemy, and if it weren't for them standing in the way of the Kingdom of Lorik, perhaps the country that was being ravaged now would be the Kingdom of Lorik.

The fighting in the winter has become less intense, and although the Norwids have destroyed two nations again, the struggle of the Empire of Rhodeland has not been difficult.

It is worth mentioning that since the Church lost such a large number of troops in that holy war, they have not been able to stand out again, and after hiring a large number of mercenaries, they have retreated into the Holy City.

Emperor Porioye left around 200,000 troops by his side, and they had lost a lot in the previous battles, and now they had less than 300,000 troops.

However, this price is quite good in the eyes of these Norwidian tribal leaders and Emperor Polyoye, after all, the wealth they have obtained is terrifying, it is half a continent accumulated over many years, and you can know what a great fortune it is.

Whenever they looked at these treasures of grain and gold and silver, their faces were filled with expressions of happiness and greed, and they had never seen so much treasure.

It was enough to pile up a mountain, and even the huge ships they were on when they came could not hold so much food and treasure.

They also heard that the country in front of them was also a rich country, and that if they defeated this country, their wealth would increase by half.

Therefore, they also attacked very hard, and if it were not for the fact that it was winter, and Emperor Porioye did not give the order for a large-scale attack, they would not have much chance to conquer the city walls.

Emperor Greine was grim in his palace, knowing that the wealth his country had amassed had long been coveted by his enemies.

If the city of Deboren is conquered, it will be a great catastrophe, with the enemy plundering the castle of its wealth and killing and wounding a large number of its inhabitants.

They are not saints, and they are completely different from the noble rules of the holy world, but there is no rule that does not kill nobles.

If these wealthy nobles fall into their hands, they will face a cruel death and take away all their wealth.

Not to mention their own royal family, as the largest nobles in this country, if the north of Deboryen fell, they would not be spared.

There is also a reason why the nobles have no way to retreat because the defenders are so persistent, and the army of the Rhodeland Empire is indeed strong, so the enemy has not been able to make any progress.

In February 1240 A.D., six months had passed since the defeat of the Holy War, and the Norvids had swept through almost all the countries in the western part of the continent.

Even though there were many potion-filled berserk guards in the army in the western part of the continent, and their combat effectiveness surpassed that of the Norvids, there were still not enough of them.

Although they could face the Norwids against a few, after all, their numbers were still too small, and in addition to causing great damage to the enemy at the beginning, they were quickly annihilated by the Norwidians' crowd tactics.

The countries in the western part of the continent did not have strong national strength at all, and the powerful countries were basically concentrated in the central and eastern parts of the continent, and the offensive of the Norweed people was also frustrated in the central and eastern regions.

The kingdom of Arisera in the east has no time to take care of it, although that country is rich, but after the devastation of the war, there is no need to plunder, and the central part is because of the Rodland Empire in the front, hiring a large number of central mercenaries, blocking the Norvids from the middle of the continent.

"Your Majesty, the Norvids have appeared outside our western lands, and they seem to know that our country is rich and want to come here to plunder!"

Tus was in charge of William's intelligence, and the Dark Daggers had intelligence officers spread across almost the entire continent, and although the Dark Daggers had lost a lot of their strength due to the Norvidian sweep, they still existed.

Therefore, when the Norvids appeared in the western part of the kingdom of Lorik, they were easily discovered.

On the western side of the continent, with the exception of the Duchy of Maineke, almost most of the countries were breached by the Norwidians, and Delceth gathered a large number of servant troops here in the Duchy of Maineke, which discouraged the Norwidians, so he left them behind.

Even the kingdom of Senmoriel was destroyed by them within a month and a half.

But the Duchy of Maineke alone was not destroyed by them, although the Duchy of Maineke has some rich legends here, but such a large army also makes the people of Norweed a little muttered in their hearts.

In order to avoid the risk, the Norwedds bypassed the Duchy of Mainek and swept through all the western countries, gathered a group of servants, and rushed to the vicinity of the Kingdom of Lorik.

William listened to Tus's report and nodded, he recruited several of his generals and courtiers, who had been gathering in Denlenburg with their armies recently, ready to fight at any time.

The clouds of war have been hanging over the entire continent for more than a year, and the soldiers have long since adapted to the atmosphere of this imminent war.

William's army was ready, and just waiting for his order to strike and keep the enemy out.

More than 80,000 Norvid warriors have gathered on the border of the Kingdom of Lorik, and they have been afraid to enter the Kingdom of Lorik for a long time, and they have long heard of the wealth of the Kingdom of Lorik.

But not only that, they also heard about the strength of the Kingdom of Lorik, not only that, but they also beat the Norwids very badly when they were fighting holy wars before.

Many of the Norvid warriors were very impressed with the army of the Kingdom of Lorik, and the neat array and fierce combat power at the beginning made it impossible for them to break through no matter what.

Therefore, they still have some fear of the army of the Lorik Kingdom in their hearts, which is the reason why they have not entered the Lorik Kingdom for nearly half a month outside the Lorik Kingdom.

But William didn't care about that, the Norweeds were always a huge hidden danger outside his borders, and if he could annihilate this group of enemies, he would also reduce some pressure on the Holy Cult world.

His fame will soar again, and the inhabitants of the Holy Cult world will remember him.

William's men are now able to mobilize an army of nearly 100,000 people, and the army of the Kingdom of Lorik is basically an elite trained off-the-job, so he is still relatively confident in this war.

William's kingdom of Lorik is more central but belongs to the southeast of the continent, where most of it is plain and the terrain is not particularly mountainous.

When the officially expanded Iron Cross Knights exerted their might, the Iron Cross Knights had expanded to more than 4,000 people in the past six months, and only a small number of them were foreign knights.

Most of them are the eldest or second sons of the Iron Cross Knights, and the sons of these knights have relied on becoming elite knights after more than 20 years of layout.

Not only do they know the roots, their combat effectiveness and loyalty can be guaranteed, but their cooperation is also more tacit.
