Leaving his official duties, William rode his personal attendants and guards to the barracks outside the city to inspect the army.

Because of the approaching war, these days I would take time to go to the barracks every day to check the training of the army, and then select some troops to review.

Among the troops to be reviewed was William's squire guard, which consisted entirely of noble heirs and family members, numbering less than three hundred.

They were the best young noble children in the entire Norman kingdom, and every young man who became William's personal attendant was a handsome man and attracted much attention.

This squire guard, which numbered less than 300 men, usually received the best education and military training in the Norman kingdom and all of Europe by William's side.

When fighting, they would follow William's side to gain experience by observing the war, and when the time was ripe, William would also let them go down to the army to lead the troops to attack, so as to increase their command ability.

Generally speaking, William would not have thrown this squire guard into a dangerous battle, after all, they were either the heirs of the Norman nobility, or the children of the outstanding nobles, the future of the Normans, and they could not be easily lost.

Of course, like 21-year-old Walter Jr. Young nobles like Giffard, who had already graduated from the Squire Guard, would be entrusted with the task of being appointed commander of an army by William.

Walter Jr. Giffard can be regarded as their senior, serving as William's personal attendant, the commander of the Royal Guard, and responsible for William's personal safety.

The previously mentioned Roger. Target. Like him, Ottwell graduated from the same batch, and was valued by William as commander of the cavalry regiment of the Guards.

Like them, there are many others who stand out from the squire guard, and are entrusted with important tasks by William.

Like the deputy of the treasurer Osborne's butler, the 20-year-old Bovis, because of his acumen and erudition was valued by William, coupled with his excellent financial ability and management ability, William was awarded the bishop and treasurer of St. Sweesen Parish of Winchester, as Osborne's deputy on the financial side, in charge of taxation.

Of course, the most concerned by William was the growth of the heirs of those dukes and earls, among whom William's cousin, the eldest son heir of Richard, Duke of Ulster, William. Morality. Vasi is one of the best of them all.

It should be said that William's cousin Richard. Morality. Vassy's eldest son, William. Morality. Vasi fully inherited his father's outstanding military talents.

William, who was only 12 years old. Morality. After less than half a year of military training and cultural education, Vasi showed extraordinary military talent, and his fearless, courageous, and gentle character was praised by others, and although he was somewhat impulsive and irritable, he did not hide his flaws, and he was indeed excellent as a military commander.

Moreover, he is only 12 years old, and judging by the military talent he is showing now, his future is very much worth looking forward to.

Equally good to him were Rodrigo Jr., the eldest son of the Duke of Munster, and Harding, the eldest son of the Viscount of Lynn. Morality. Gail, Stephen, Gerrard and others are all momentarily handsome.

After reviewing the squire guards, William finally spoke, "Roger. Morality. Outville! ”

"Your Majesty." Roger named by name. Morality. With a look of surprise on his face, Baron Outville strode up to William, kneeling on the ground and shouting.

Roger. Morality. Baron Ottville has just graduated from Faller. Osborne got the news that he was going to be reused by William, but he didn't expect it to be cashed in so quickly.

"Roger. Morality. Baron Altwell, I now appoint you commander of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment of the Guards, and you may be willing to accept it. William said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I will not disappoint your expectations, and I am willing to repay your trust in me with my loyalty." Roger. Morality. Baron Outwell bowed.

Compared with Caesar, the brother of the King of Sicily, who was far away in Italy, Roger grew up in Cotentin in Normandy since he was a child, and his feelings for Normandy and William were deeper.

After inheriting the domain and title of his father Tancred, Roger did not accept Caesar's invitation and refused to leave Normandy for an adventure in Sicily.

It wasn't that a trip to Sicily didn't appeal to Roger, and his brother Caesar had promised to make him an earl.

But on the one hand, Roger did not know that this promise would be properly fulfilled, and on the other hand, he knew that with Caesar's eldest son, Bohemond, he had little chance of inheriting Sicily, and that he would have the slightest chance of following William's side.

It was precisely because of this that Roger gave up the opportunity to go to Sicily, and since then he has gained William's trust and become a rising star in the Norman kingdom.

"Roger, this is the appointment clerk and command sword I gave you, I hope you can perform well in this battle, I am looking forward to your active performance." William was born Walter Jr. Giffard took a letter of appointment and an extremely delicate silver sword in his hand, and solemnly bestowed it on Roger.

Then he patted Roger on the shoulder and said, "Go, Roger, go and receive your troops." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Roger's eyes were slightly moist, and with tears of emotion, he put away the letter of appointment and the silver command sword like a treasure, and bowed back respectfully.

"Little Walter, come with me to the Sixth and Seventh Legions." William waved slightly to little Walter and commanded.

After the review of the Guards, William finally arrived at the barracks of the Sixth and Seventh Legions, escorted by Sir Walter the Younger and a large group of Guards cavalry.

Unlike the Guards and the 1st to 5th Legions, both of these legions were improvised legions formed by noble levies provided by the vassal nobles under William's command.

These two legions were formed only on an improvised basis for the convenience of command, not a permanent formation, and when the war was over, the noble conscripts would be disbanded and returned to their hometowns.

Although they were both legions of noble conscripts, they differed, with the first legion mostly formed by Norman nobles from the Norman kingdoms and the kingdoms of England.

These Norman nobles originally had a large number of fiefs and estates in Normandy and the surrounding areas, and after William conquered the Kingdom of England, they accepted his canonization and gained a large number of fiefdoms in England.

It can be said that the Sixth Army formed by the Normans is not weak in terms of combat effectiveness, and it is much better than the feudal army of the same period, but it needs to be strengthened in terms of tactical coordination.

Compared with the Sixth Legion, the Seventh Legion was formed by troops provided by the dukes of Ireland and Wales, and most of these vassals and nobles were foreigners from all over the world, and the composition was extremely complex.

As a result, the combat effectiveness of this legion is relatively suspicious, and only the battalions formed by the Normans still retain relatively good combat effectiveness.
