As soon as King Edward, the governor of London, brought back by Essorg, both Norman nobles and ordinary soldiers felt that they had been humiliated by the King of England and the English, and they fought desperately for the English King Edward to defeat the army of the Godwins, and finally got such a result, which no one could tolerate.

Even William, who had a deep friendship with King Edward, was deeply hurt by Edward's cold words, and he was silent and just looked coldly at the embarrassed London Governor Esser.

"Your Majesty, the English have deceived people too much, how can we Normans have suffered such humiliation, this shame can only be washed away with the blood of the English, please give the order to attack the city!" Earl Andrew couldn't bear it at first, and walked forward with an excited expression to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, it seems that we must make King Edward and his courtiers realize the reality of whose hands are in the hands of the current knife handles, and who is in charge of their fate." The old and dignified Count Richard was also full of anger, suppressing the anger in his chest and said in a deep voice.

With the two aristocratic generals of Richard and Earl Andrew, many Norman nobles under William were willing to attack London.

After much persuasion, William finally made up his mind to abandon his brotherhood with King Edward and decided to lead his army to attack the city of London.

Before the siege, William also needed to recruit laborers to cut down trees to build siege towers, ladders, siege vehicles and other siege weapons, and build counterweight trebuchets, ballistas and other siege equipment, which would take a long time, not to mention that the storming of London City would definitely cause a lot of casualties, so he decided to intimidate the City of London, and there may be some unexpected surprises.

While the Normans were busy building siege engines, they threatened to attack the city outside the walls of London in retaliation for the insult inflicted on the Normans by King Edward and the English.

When Edward and his courtiers heard the shocking news, their faces were filled with fear, and their bodies trembled as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

It was not that they were cowardly, but that the Normans were so notorious that these warlike Normans fought against the Kingdom of France, against the Irish and against the Welsh, and that there was no one who did not fail to win these battles, and that their opponents suffered a tragic end.

The closest to this day was the battle between the Normans and the Godwins in Hastings, in which the Normans swept away a huge force of 17,000 men, and most of the army was annihilated, with only a few soldiers escaping from the Norman cavalry under the cover of night and forest.

How could King Edward and his noble courtiers not be frightened?

It was now imperative to dispel the anger and resentment of the Normans, and to dispel their decision to attack the city of London.

King Edward sent six waves of envoys in a row, but William refused to meet them, and in the end, even the governor of London, Essger, did not come out again.

In the end, William only threw out one sentence: "Let Edward go out of the city and meet me in person." ”

The persecution tactics have achieved obvious results, and after the London Governor Esser got William's reply, he was obviously a little moved, and he was very moved by William's proposal, just let King Edward go out of the city and meet William to resolve the military disaster, which is indeed very cost-effective.

Etherger did not guess the other purpose hidden in William's words, which was to make King Edward of England fall into the trap.

Edward was very moved by William's request, but he also had deep concerns in his heart, and he was worried that if William repented of imprisoning him, he would regret it.

After much deliberation, he decided to put it off and try to wait until the northern coalition of the Duke of Mercia and the Duke of Northumbria arrived in London before going out of the city to meet William, so that he would have the confidence.

For two days, William did not receive a reply from King Edward, knowing that the other party might still be hesitant, so he decided to put pressure on Edward and the nobles of London again.

"Claude, your equipment battalion uses the counterweight trebuchet to send two waves of stone bullets to the walls of London first, and say hello to the city of London." William summoned Master Claude and ordered.

"Yes!"

Claude was previously the head of the Norman family of royal craftsmen, and now he is the chief master of the Norman kingdom, not only in charge of the Norman kingdom's military production, but also the commander of the siege equipment unit during the war, and no one in the Norman kingdom has comparable experience in handling siege equipment.

Even if it was just a threatening stone projectile, William would not show mercy, and twenty-two counterweight trebuchets opened fire, and twenty-two black shadows appeared in an instant.

Boom Boom Boom Boom ...... Boom Boom Boom Boom ......

With the walls collapsing, the towers collapsing, the houses collapsing, the masonry and rubble everywhere, the stone bullets in their tracks, and the fragile walls collapsing in a few sections, it was clear that the city of London's defenses could not withstand the constant bombardment of the siege engines.

After two rounds of bombardment with a total of forty-four stones the size of a millstone, the attitude of the English people was noticeably softened, and it can even be said that they were submissive, and William's request again was quickly agreed to by Edward, and even the request to enter the city to rest and recuperate.

On the second day, the Governor of London, Esser, and King Edward of England went out of the city to show their submission to William, and they were caught between William's Norman guards and held hostage to follow William into the royal palace of England.

It was not that no one resisted during the process of entering the city of London, but these unsightly creatures were killed on the spot by the Normans, and these bloody lessons were all a warning to the consequences of the English rebellion against the Normans.

"My cousin, I have defeated the Godwin family for you, and according to the agreement between you and me, I will be your heir and inherit your kingdom of England. Is that so? William sat unceremoniously on Edward's throne, squinting at King Edward in front of him.

"That's right, I will keep the agreement between you and me, and advance you to the Council of the Wise as the heir to the throne of England." The situation was more popular than popular, and King Edward chose to bow to William.

"But today's incident has made me unhappy and uneasy, and I am skeptical of your commitment. So I decided to take my fair share first. William changed his words and said slowly in a low tone.

"What are you going to do?" Edward involuntarily swallowed his saliva and asked.

"I want you to grant me Norfolk and Suffolk in East Anglia, Essex, Bedford, and Northampton in Essex, Oxfordshire and Wiltminshire in Herseway, Kent, Surrey, and Sussex in Kent, and Wixes, Dorset, and Somerset in Wixes, and Dorset, and parts of Gwentshire.

These territories were originally the territories of the original Godwin, and now that I have defeated the Godwins, I deserve these territories and powers as a matter of course.

Therefore I ask for the right to match these lands - to enter the Council of the Magi, and to assign me seats according to the number of territories I own. ”

"You!! ......" Edward was speechless by William's appetite.
