Chapter 376: Orc Influx

After William took control of the entire territory of the Duchy of Maineke, he immediately notified the nominal suzerainty of the Duchy of Maineke, the Kingdom of Senmoliel.

William brought so much, such a strong force is mainly here to declare force, hoping to deter the other party.

After all, it was impossible for William to have too many troops stationed here, and sooner or later the Denlenburg army would have to withdraw, and he would have to leave an impression that he was strong in the kingdom of Senmoril and even in the surrounding countries.

In this way, it was possible to ensure that the territory of the Principality of Mainek would not be coveted and then taken away by other countries because of William's withdrawal.

Before leaving, William left here a brigade, an army of four hundred Denlenburg infantry, and, after consulting him, appointed Baron Nair as governor of the Duchy of Maineke.

There was no way, William could neither digest this place as his own territory, nor could he garrison a large number of troops here, after all, the precarious situation around Denlenburg and even around the Kingdom of Tskema did not allow him to garrison a large number of troops elsewhere.

Therefore, the governorship system is the best way for William to maintain his rule in the Duchy of Maineke, just like the European colonies in William's previous life, all of which relied on a small number of troops to equip the governor to maintain the colonial rule of a region.

William's situation was so similar to those Europeans in his previous life that he didn't even think much about it before he thought of the best solution for him.

Baron Nair also had about 200 armed infantry under his command, plus a brigade of 400 Denlenburg infantry, and William's ruling force here totaled more than 600 people.

After William got on the troop carrier, after more than a month of travel, William finally returned to Denlenburg with his soldiers.

On the Principality of Maineke's side, basically all the people have received the news that William has offered a bounty to buy orcs, after all, the price of five silver coins and one orc is enough to make these dirt buns in the Principality of Maineke crazy.

Although the productivity on their side is not very low, it is indeed not as good as the eastern part of the continent close to the Holy City, compared to the eastern part of the continent, even if it is not a wilderness, it is also a deviation from civilization, otherwise, how can there be wizards rampant here?

Before William left, the wizards here also carried out some sporadic resistance, and there were some terrifying and weird methods, but in the end, it was found that those were some useless methods.

Either poisonous fog or pouring sulfuric acid, these actions that could not be put on the table, except for a few casualties caused by the carelessness of the Denglenburg army at the beginning, did not produce any casualties, and were completely wiped out by the Denglenburg army through arrows and arrays.

In front of the knights, these wizards and witches couldn't even bear a single face, and they were all slaughtered directly.

In this way, the strength of these wizards in the Principality of Maineke was basically wiped out, and then under William's bounty and search, the remaining wizard remnants, a total of more than 20 people, were caught in front of William.

And William also spoke in front of all the people of Maineke that the twenty wizards were sentenced to be burned at the stake, and under the burning of the fire, they and their sinful souls were judged by the Holy Father.

Here, Baron Nair did not practice any so-called development, the development of agriculture, the development of commerce, but the implementation of harsh rule.

When William returned to Denlenburg, he immediately sent people to the church and asked the church to send monks to the principality of Mainek to begin a mass mission.

Although there are some monasteries there, there are still sorcerers and some other primitive beliefs that surpass the Holy Religion.

And after William conquered it this time, it was equivalent to officially including it in the scope of the Holy Religion's rule, and sending monks to preach was also certain, which could be regarded as a kind of goodwill to William's church to the church.

After all, in William's territory, the power of the church has been weakened to almost nothing, and in the long run, he may cause the church's plan.

And in such an environment, where the church is almost absolutely dominant, and being disgusted by the church, the future must be quite slim.

The church was of course very satisfied with William's actions, and William not only asked the church to send monks, but also asked the church to collect tithes there, and the taxes drawn by the 500,000 citizens of the principality of Mainek were not a few.

If nothing else, at least the church is on William's side in the affairs of the Principality of Maineke, and with the support of the church, many things will be much easier.

In this way, three months later, William again called for someone to go to the kingdom of Astra, this time with the intention of hiring the navy of the Duchy of Larnia.

After all, the navy of the Principality of Larnia is a well-known maritime power in the whole continent, more powerful than Camelot and even the kingdom of Astra.

There are definitely a lot of things that need to be transported this time, after all, the orcs and the citizens of the Duchy of Mainek have to transport it to the side of Denlenburg.

Three months had accumulated a lot of money, and William planned to hire more troop carriers to transport orcs and Mainek nationals here.

Sure enough, another month later, William's hired ship finally arrived on the coastline of the Duchy of Maineke.

And the captured orcs and the Mainek nationals who were about to be relocated were also concentrated on the coast early.

Baron Nell, the governor of the Mainek region, also led this army, waiting on the coast.

In the past three months, through the capture of the people of the Principality of Maineke, the gentry, and other armed forces, more than 5,000 orcs have been plundered, all of whom have been helped to wait for the arrival of the ships with their hands and ropes.

The rest of the people were not treated as harshly as the orcs, they were all tempted by the generous treatment, after all, the quality of life of the civilians of Denlenburg and Issamdenburg was quite good, far exceeding the quality of these Mainek residents.

This time, they were concentrated with about 10,000 men, all of whom were to be transported to Denlenburg.

There is really no shortage of their land, after all, there are only 300,000 inhabitants in a place as large as Denglenburg, which can be said to be vast and sparsely populated.

In the present Denlenburg, there is still a large area of land that has been abandoned and not cultivated at all, all because of the lack of population, otherwise William would have made all the land full of food.

Baron Nair stood on the shore and looked out to sea, today was the agreed date for the arrival of the ship.

However, he also understands that it is easy to delay the arrival of ships, and there are often uncertain things happening in rough seas, so there are often delays in dates.

After waiting for a while, towering masts appeared on the horizon and fell into everyone's eyes.

Once the ship is docked, it is time to get the orcs and inhabitants aboard the ship, and transport the silver coins from the ship to pay for the orcs.

The ship didn't stay long, only half a day, and when it was time to load all the orcs and civilians, they set sail. 2k reading web
