While William was telling King Leonac about the situation, the Western Route's Jihadists were still unaware of the danger coming, and they were fighting the Norwids and preparing to advance to the decisive battle.

There are not many Norvids they are facing, only forty or fifty thousand people, and they are relatively easy to deal with.

Due to the smooth operation, they have advanced more than ten kilometers in a row, so at this moment, the morale of the Western Road Holy War Army is high.

While eating, the soldiers chatted: "It seems that the war is coming to an end!" We will surely win this holy war! The Norweed aren't that strong."

"Yes, I thought there was a tough battle to be fought, but I didn't expect to advance more than ten kilometers so smoothly! It seems that the Norvidians are not far from a rout! ”

"Hehe, our side is so smooth, the strength of the Eastern Road Holy War Army is so strong, they must be advancing more smoothly, I saw it after the original convergence, the East Road Holy War Army is really strong! I can't get back the equipment of the knight lord with black crosses in my life, and those infantry who are also painted with black crosses, I really want to get that equipment back! But as soon as I looked at their military discipline and body, I knew I couldn't beat them! ”

"Yes, yes!" Others chimed in.

"Isn't that a good thing? There are such strong soldiers in the Holy War Army, and when the decisive battle comes, it is best for them to go directly to the field and defeat the enemy! I still want to go home to see my lovely little girl! ”

The same is true of the nobles of the Western Road Jihadist Army, who are in a good mood as they drink delicious ale among the battalion commanders, and under this circumstance, the Holy War will end in a month or two, and their harvest will definitely not be less.

After all, they are not like King William and Leonac, after all, the two of them are very wealthy, and the little spoils obtained from the holy war are really nothing to them, and only those minor nobles value them.

Their participation in this war is mainly because of political factors, otherwise they would not have been able to do things that have no interests.

Like the Western Route, the Central Route, the Central Route, was also very pleased, they didn't encounter a single enemy along the way, not even a single squad's resistance.

So they will be the first to reach the decisive battle, and they will not be able to suffer losses on the way, which is the best outcome for all nobles.

Just when the Western Road Jihadist Army was complacent and ready to continue advancing, thirty kilometers behind them were already full of Norweeds.

A full 70,000 Norvid troops were in ambush behind them, just waiting for them to let their guard down and strike a fatal blow at once.

At this time, in the Eastern Road Jihadist Army, William explained the matter in detail to King Leonac and Archbishop Bairinsin in King Leonac's tent.

"It's despicable! These damned barbarians who do not respect the Holy Father! They're going to hell! ”

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, our immediate priority now is to discuss how to reverse this situation!"

King Leonac said with a frown on his face.

William pondered for a moment and said, "Two lords, I am willing to take my army to support the Western Road Holy War Army, you must stay here, otherwise the enemy in Darlings Fort will probably attack us!" ”

"But......" King Leonac said, still frowning, "but the number of enemies is obviously not small, at least 100,000 enemies are involved in the encirclement and annihilation of the Western Route Holy War Army!" ”

King Leonac looked at William, which meant to say: Although your army is strong, it is not enough in the end, and even if you go to support, it will not help if you don't have enough of them.

"Yes, my lord, but I have faith in my army! Big deal, I can catch them off guard! The enemy must not know that we know their battle plan! ”

At this time, Archbishop Bailinsin spoke: "Since the Norwids are not stopping the advance of the Jihadist in the center, then you should be able to help them attack the Norwidian capital!" When the time comes, we will capture their capital, capture their leader, and even if the Western Jihadist Army is defeated, then the Holy War will still be victorious! ”

Archbishop Bailins is truly a member of the Church, and he does not care about the life and interests of the secular nobles, and is even willing to sacrifice them in exchange for the success of the holy war.

However, he was just a bishop after all, not a general who led troops to war, and his suggestion was completely untenable.

William heard the flaw in Byrins' plan for the archbishop, but he didn't point it out, but looked at King Leonac on the sidelines.

After all, it has not been easy for William and Bilins to get on good terms with Archbishop Bailins during this time, and he doesn't want to ruin the relationship between the two because of this little thing.

At first, King Leonac didn't want to point it out, after all, he didn't want to damage the relationship between the two.

However, when he saw William's indifferent look, he understood what he thought in his heart, William could not care about the victory or defeat of the holy war, which was understandable, after all, his territory was too far away from the Norweeds.

But the kingdom of Astra is different, if the holy war fails, then the kingdom of Astra is directly under the peak of the Norvid soldiers.

Therefore, King Leonac could only curse William's cunning in his heart, and then said to Archbishop Bailinsin: "Sorry Archbishop, your plan is very good, but you must know that the capital of the Norwedes must be very strong, and heavily guarded, and we will not be able to capture Darlingsburg in front of us in another month, and the enemy's capital will certainly not be able to fall either!" ”

"I'm afraid that it won't take a month, and in a few days, the enemy will be able to return to the capital and annihilate us one by one, and then the holy war will definitely be defeated!"

After King Leonac had finished speaking, Birins's face turned slightly red because of the archbishop, and it was too embarrassing for him to be so obviously pointed out that he had made a mistake.

William saw Archbishop Bailinsin's face and said: "Your Excellency, your idea is actually very good, but it is not suitable for now, besides, you are an archbishop, even as the future pope, you can't personally lead the troops to battle!" ”

William's appeasement apparently gave Archbishop Bailinsin face, and his face softened considerably.

King Leonac said, "Count William, although you have confidence, I think it would be better for you to bring more troops!" I'll let Deputy Head Robella go with you with fifteen hundred Knights of the Holy Grail!" ”

When Archbishop Bairinsin heard this, he also said: "Take these five hundred Templars with you, and they will obey your orders!" ”

Archbishop Bailinsin thought, anyway, there is no need for knights to attack the city here, after all, the Holy Grail Guardian is here, it is better to send out a personal favor, and it can also make William's actions more safe, why not?
