Chapter 62: The Athletic Conference

Half a month later, he returned to the manor with the knights, accompanied by several wagons of silver coins.

"Thank you, Urimu!" William patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Hey, nothing! But this time the income is really too much, I didn't expect that the kingdom of Cikema is so short of horses now, I dare to say, even if we go to sell a thousand more war horses, they can eat it! Urimu said.

"Yes! Is it because the war causes the war horses to be consumed too quickly? William asked casually.

"Yes, there is this reason, but more because the Kingdom of Lillard has been invaded by the Somulans, and because of the war, the war horses of the Kingdom of Lillard have also become very scarce, so the Kingdom of Lillard is collecting war horses everywhere, and they gave the Kingdom of Tsikma a hundred silver coins to offset the price of war horses to offset the war reparations, so the Kingdom of Tskema is now buying war horses at a very high price!"

"We went to the royal capital this time to sell the war horses quickly, but the cattle are not easy to sell, the price of the war horse eighty silver coins is ah, I decisively sold all the war horses to them as I wanted, and sold more than 30,000 silver coins!" He emphasized as if he was invited.

"Okay, I know that you have a lot of credit, remember!" William said.

"But it seems like you'll have to make one more trip this month, or rather, once a month, to be exact, until the kingdom doesn't buy a lot of horses." William said.

"Huh? Or me, can't you let me rest? He put his arms around William's neck and grumbled.

"Okay, okay, the kingdom won't always buy war horses, two or three months is the limit, how about I find you a few girls when you come back?" William couldn't stand him anymore, so he had to make such an unorthodox promise.

"Really?" Yu Limu asked excitedly, although this kid is not very old, but he is a color blank, and as soon as he arrived at the manor, he harmed two handmaidens who looked like beautiful people.

If William hadn't ordered him not to do this again, I'm afraid the remaining maids in the manor would have escaped his clutches.

You know, William hasn't touched a woman for so long...... When he was a robber, he rarely met a woman, and even if there was a woman, it would not be his turn.

And after becoming a knight, to be honest, William really can't look down on those village girls, they don't say anything if they have bad breath, and they talk about it, anyway, William can't stand this.

After becoming a "big man" like the baron, William just wanted to indulge his conscience, but when the bad news of Comos Manor came, William fell into busyness again.

In short, William was a human being, and he was a virgin! Even if you have fire, you have to solve it yourself......

"Don't worry, those two maids you have long taken a fancy to, as long as you complete the task, I will give them to you!" William reluctantly promised.

"Thanks! I knew you wouldn't let me work for nothing! He patted William's shoulder with a playful smile, seemingly completely oblivious to his hatred.

"By the way, how about I asked you to help me find a craftsman?" William suddenly remembered and asked.

Hu Limu hurriedly turned back, and now William is his "prostitute".

"Of course, for this reason, I also went to the western part of the kingdom to go around, five blacksmiths and seven or eight apprentices scattered, these are enough!" Urimu said.

William nodded, these numbers of blacksmiths are enough for him now, blacksmiths are an existence that is extremely lacking in technical justice, and every country must cherish it.

Anyway, William now has more than 30,000 silver coins, and it is almost an explosion of general income, and the income of a country in two or three months is only this number.

With so much money in hand, how can you do it if you don't spend it, although William is a little stingy, he never feels distressed about where he should spend money.

With a wave of his hand, he directly asked the craftsmen and apprentices who came to make iron scale armor, the cost of scale armor is a little cheaper than chain mail, about 30 silver coins, and more than 300 pieces are only 9,000 gold coins, and the cost is up!

Then William transferred more than 300 people in the territory, and as a follow-up professional soldier, he did not plan to use light infantry with poor discipline and low combat effectiveness.

He is very proud now, and he doesn't think about what to do after spending all this money, it's a big deal to earn it again, this is his current thought.

The remaining more than a hundred war horses were naturally kept to train cavalry, and a few hundred people from the territory of nearly 10,000 people were not more than enough?

In fact, William's territory is already quite dangerous now, and a population of more than 7,000 has to feed a professional soldier who is almost 1,000, and if it weren't for the strong productivity of his territory and his business, it is estimated that it would collapse.

Now William can no longer expand his army in the slightest, unless his cultivated land and population increase, the slightest turmoil will lead to the collapse of the territory!

Although William was aware of it, having so much money in his hand had already made him start to swell, and he thought that as long as he had money, he could raise more soldiers.

Mandes Manor is now very prosperous, and William, who has deep pockets, has built all the brothel casinos, and the Celestial Empire often plays poker and sieves and other things that have been stolen by William.

William did a good job, at least he forbade his subjects to enter and leave both places at will, and only the tavern was for the occasional consumption of the commoners.

He clearly knew what the consequences of gambling would bring to the relatively poor commoners, so he strictly forbade the commoners Dubi, and when he caught one and cut one by one, the authority of the lord was undoubtedly revealed.

However, he was quite happy that the merchants gambled and prostituted, anyway, there were not many merchants in his territory, most of them were foreign businessmen, and going to these brothel casinos run by William could bring him a lot of income.

While the soldiers' training was in full swing, the Earl's messenger arrived, saying that the annual kingdom athletic convention was about to begin, and that all those who had the status of knights could participate.

Of course, the Earl had to gather all the people of Denlenburg to participate, and if he could get a good result, not only the knights would get the benefits, but even the Count would be able to show his face fiercely among the nobles of the entire kingdom.

Unfortunately, in previous years, the results of Denlenburg were not good, and the best one was only a fourth.

As soon as William heard this, he immediately gathered all the knights, except for the knights who were injured and could not move, and all rushed to Denlenburg to gather and participate in the athletic meeting.

The athletic conference is a good place to brush up on prestige, William played a game called riding and slashing in his previous life, where the athletic tournament won but can give a lot of prestige, if you bet on yourself, you can also get money.

The Menders knights borrowed William's light during this time, and they also had a lot of money in their hands, and without the need for this, then glory was their only goal.

The athletic conference is a good place to get glory.

William told Vidal that he and Tus were in charge of the security of the territory, while the remaining two servants were to train the soldiers.

They are also good at following William, anyway, they just follow the training plan, so William is very relieved.

When the news came, William immediately discovered the business opportunity, and the royal capital, whose population had skyrocketed, must have purchased goods more quickly, so this month's trade with the Chekels was all settled by the other party with war horses.

After all, the protagonists of the athletic conference are the knights, and the lack of war horses in the Cikema Kingdom is unlikely to come up with too many war horses to supply the competition, plus the knights may need a new war horse, in short, no matter how many war horses there are now, the king will be able to eat!

Something worth nearly ten thousand silver coins was sent over, and the Chekels had gathered together another six hundred war horses, and of course William could not have taken them to the royal capital.

He asked his soldiers to escort the horses, staggered with the knights, and went directly to the royal capital first, and dyed their hair before they arrived at the royal capital, disguising themselves as small merchants one by one, so as to prevent anyone in the royal capital from getting rich and causing trouble.

Of course, the people of Denlenburg knew that William sold horses, although they were very envious, but they did not have luxury goods such as vodka, nor did they have the huge grain production in the Menders region, even if they wanted to trade with the Chekers, they would not like you.

In the end, William also asked the brewery to process it, adding some honey and other things to a small batch of vodka, and after concoction, William tasted it, and it tasted good.

There is a strong smell of alcohol, as well as the sweet and soft taste of honey, and the mixture is a bit stiff, but it is indeed a rare delicacy for the local buns of this era, which William intends to take to the royal capital to open up sales for some big people.

After the knights assembled, a group of dozens of people walked towards Denglenburg, the knights were dressed in civilian clothes, leisurely riding on the horses, and their servants were also riding horses to help them keep their equipment.

After two days of walking, they finally saw the walls of Denlenburg, under the light of the setting sun, there is a kind of fairytale romance, if some who knelt and licked foreign countries in William's previous life saw it, they would probably scream!

At the gate of the castle, William, in order to identify himself, had one of the knights raise his banner, and the knights put on their armor and took up their spears.

The banner of the black cross on a white background fluttered in the air with majesty, echoing the pennants of the cavalry spears in the hands of the knights below, and the only fly in the ointment was that the knights were wearing their family coat of arms, not William's black cross on a white background.

The appearance of this group of well-equipped knights at the gate of the castle attracted some attention, and the Manor of Mendes was on the edge of the county, but not far from Denlenburg.

The Earl's territory is slightly narrow, some of the territories are in the hinterland, but they are far from Denlenburg, and some are on the edge, but the castle is closer, so the nobles come at different times.

However, there are really not many people who come at this time, and only nobles who are very close to the castle can reach at this time.

"Behold, it is Baron William!" Several riders gathered together to watch William whisper.

"I see, I heard that he is very favored by the baron, and he is a new big man!"

"What! He has offended Viscount Cowen, do you think he can still be safe? You don't know how Baron Feng An died? One of the knights lowered his voice and said.

Although his voice was low, William's hearing was not bad, and he listened to all the whispers in his ears.

The knights' conversation is similar to what Bruno said, it seems that Viscount Curvin is a person who has revenge, and William's defense against Viscount Curwen has been raised to a new level.
