Chapter 279: Eight Years Later

When all the guests had chanted along with the bishop, the bishop continued: "Dear friends, it is you who have brought about this most sacred and solemn wedding today! ”

This in itself is a very sacred thing, and we are thankful for ...... Be ye brave in life, no matter what the circumstances, be it poor, rich, healthy or sick, you must respect and love each other, and never break your vows! ”

"Now that you two have heard these teachings of the Word, if you are willing to unite. Please swear before God the Father. ”

After saying this, the bishop said again: "Now, if there is no objection to their union, let the bride begin to take the oath in the presence of God the Father and all of you." ”

No one made a sound, and no one would make any senseless objection to the wedding at this time.

Even Sir Faun, the son of the Earl of Sattell, who was present, did not express any objection to the wedding, after all, such consequences could not be borne by him, or even his family.

After making sure that there was no objection among the guests present, the bishop then looked at Norwen and said, "The rightful ruler of Inzesburg, the most relied vassal of the Count of Denglenburg of the Kingdom of Tskema, Norwen. Viscount Jill, would you like to marry the daughter of the Earl of Kliman, Moya? Miss Kliman as your legal wife? ”

Nowen looked at Miss Moya, who was holding hands with him, and the two looked at each other affectionately, and then Nowen looked at the bishop solemnly and said, "I do!" ”

After Novan answered, the bishop turned his head to look at Miss Moya and asked, "Daughter of the Count of Christman, Miss Moya, in the name of the Holy Father, are you willing to marry the rightful ruler of Inzesburg, Nove. Viscount Jill, as his legal wife? ”

There was still a tear in Miss Moya's eyes, but she still didn't forget to look at Nuowen gently, and said firmly: "I do!" ”

Under the bishop's guidance, Nowen and Miss Moya's right hands were clenched, and they turned to face the guests below and began to vow: "I, Nowen. Jill, willing to marry L'Oreal. Fierce Bull is my legal wife, and I swear that from today onwards, no matter what the circumstances, poor, rich, healthy, or sick, I will always love you and never break my vow now. ”

Miss Moya swore the same.

After the oath was completed, he turned to face the bishop and took a gold ring from William's water, and then the bishop handed a glass of wine and a piece of bread to Norwen, and after drinking and eating bread, the bishop dipped a little holy water on his hand, touched Norwin's forehead, and then signaled, "You may kiss the bride." ”

After getting permission, Nowen immediately hugged Miss Moya's delicate body into his arms, and her lips intersected.

Just as the two of them kissed, the hall was boiling, the bell tower in the castle was ringing melodiously, and on the towering tower of the main castle, white doves flew into the blue sky, and white petals flew in the hall, Miss Moya is now called Moya. Jill.

Since Norven's wedding, William's domain has been peaceful, developing step by step, and then recruiting nobles.

William relaxed his policy towards the nobility this time, and returned all the rights of the judiciary to the nobles, except for the judicial power and the twenty percent tax and military service that had to be paid to William.

In this way, William was able to recruit noble vassals, otherwise, even if he recruited nobles as his vassals, he would sooner or later face the end of betrayal.

Up to now, William has a total of three viscounts under him, namely Noven, Urimu, and Delsaith, as a very important deputy head of the Iron Cross Knights, William gave him the courtesy he wanted.

There were more than two dozen barons loyal to William, and nearly one-third of the more than seventy estates in Denlenburg and Issamdenburg combined had been divided.

Of course, all of these fiefdoms were relatively less wealthy and important, and some of the strategically important and productive areas, as well as the areas where commerce flourished, were all in William's hands.

Among them, Issamdenburg is the majority, and Denlenburg has long become William's inseparable territory after so many years of development.

Six years have passed, and Denlenburg and Issamdenburg have established an inseparable exchange, and the inhabitants of Issamdenburg have long forgotten the Earl of Cansville.

For the noble and great Earl William, who gave them a good life, they wanted to be supporters.

The militia system was also firmly established in Issamdenburg, and every resident of Issamdenburg, young and middle-aged, was trained by the militia.

Just like the militia in the Denlenburg area, as long as they are trained for a period of time, they can immediately go to the battlefield as qualified elite Denlenburg infantry.

After eight years of governance, the number of inhabitants in William's territory has exceeded one million, and the two counties together have more than 500,000 people, plus six years later, many children have grown into teenagers, and teenagers have grown into youth, plus the blood transfusion of the Principality of Maineke, the number of people under William's rule has successfully exceeded one million.

At the same time, there are more than 100,000 orc slaves in William's territory, and they need to do a lot of things.

In addition to the paving of roads, the construction of castles and fortresses, and the construction of taverns, hospitals, and the excavation of aqueducts, all of which were completed, the orcs did not have as much to do.

The only thing they need to do now is to reclaim the wasteland in the territory, after all, William's two counties are almost the size of a province in the Celestial Empire, if all the cultivated land is developed, it can at least feed seven or eight million residents, and now the cultivated land developed in William's territory is only about one-seventh or eighth.

The orcs have been trained to be very good at rough processing iron, harvesting grain, and sowing seeds by the inhabitants themselves.

But in the mill, or William's factory road, all the menial work that required strength was done by these orc slaves.

Now William has a very strong control over the territory, not to mention other measures, the stone road alone is enough to make William's invincible Denlenburg army appear anywhere in the territory.

Now William's army has finally reached its peak, in addition to the strength of the first brigade stationed in the Duchy of Maineke, William has expanded the strength of the mainland to eleven brigades, 4,400 people, counting which rotation of brigades is a total of twelve brigades.

It is worth mentioning that all the trainee knights in the Order have finally become qualified knights, which is not much different from the elite knights of Denlenburg.

After all, it is a full eight years of training, and many knights have already entered middle age, and they will retire after about ten years of service.

Fortunately, William's large-scale training of the reserve forces of the Knights, otherwise there was really no way.
