Although William is not prepared to stay here for a long time, it does not mean that William will leave the parish of Lixue immediately, whether it is to pacify the territory and clean up the manor and miners, or to train soldiers and build defensive fortress fortifications, a large number of military and political affairs are pressed on William's head, which makes William feel quite uncomfortable.

Of course, the main reason why William was worried about leaving was that he was wary of the Count of Cay who was stationed in Rouen, and he was worried that after he left the parish of Lisce, Vice-Baron Rodrigo alone would not be able to resist Cay's attack.

In addition to dealing with military and political affairs, William's main concern was the collection of war booty and the transfer of church property, although Bishop Hamelin was on his side, but he was still a little uneasy not to personally supervise William.

It took a week for the huge number of assets of the church in the parish of Liser to be preliminarily counted, and together with the previously seized materials, William had harvested a total of 130,000 pounds of silver (about 2.6 million Triss gold coins), thousands of sets of chain mail and several times of leather armor, more than 1,100 war horses, and so on.

Except for a small part of this, which was seized from the battlefield, the remaining eighty percent were church property looted by William.

Of course, William knew that these assets were the property of the church itself, and as for how much wealth was hidden by the rest of the Bishop of Hamelin and the clergy, he couldn't care or want to care, after all, when the water is clear, there are no fish.

William's biggest harvest is, of course, the large manor estates belonging to the Lixue Church, in addition to the 24 manors canonized by William, there are more than 90 manor estates (a total of about 100,000 acres of arable land) left.

Some of these estates belonged to the Church knights who guarded Lixue, and of course William unceremoniously took them after they escaped.

Just as William saw that Rodrigo had set up the 3rd Infantry Regiment and the cavalry battalion to prepare to leave Lischel, an emissary from Henry I approached William.

This envoy William had also seen him, and he was Sir Marven who was William's guide when he was canonized in Paris, so William did not dare to slack off and immediately met Sir Marvin in the city hall of Lysor.

"Good day, Lord William, Duke of Normandy." Sir Marven took off his hat and bowed to William.

"I don't know if Sir Marven came to Lixue to find me, is there anything to convey?" William sat on the throne and looked at Sir Marven curiously.

"That's right, Lord Duke, Your Majesty Henry has issued an edict from the nobles of the Duchy of Normandy declaring that they will shelter you.

At present, the Earl of Kaye and William the Earl of Castle have signed a non-aggression agreement, and are willing to cooperate with you in three years of non-aggression. Sir Marven handed over a roll of parchment in both hands and said respectfully.

William took the parchment and spread it out, looked at the contents of the agreement on it, nodded from time to time, and said with satisfaction: "Thank you very much Your Majesty Henry for your help, please convey your gratitude to His Majesty Henry!" ”

"Yes, His Highness William!" Sir Marven bowed respectfully to William again.

"By the way, Sir Marvin, I have bad news for you!

Just ten days ago, a total of seventy-eight knights from the Barony of Wexon mutinied and fled on the battlefield.

They have now been beheaded, and all of their estates have been reclaimed by me.

After all, this territory used to belong to His Majesty Henry, so I have a special message for you! William said with an innocent expression on his face.

"No, it's out of the way, it's your power and freedom to deal with the nobles in the fiefdom." Sir Marven's face twitched, and his expression was a little stiff, as if he was stuck.

"I'm relieved, after all, these knights used to be vassals of His Majesty Henry, and now I can see His Majesty's generosity." William breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and his expression exaggerated with emotion, as if he was praising His Majesty Henry.

Seeing that William was cheap and behaved, Sir Marven's face was pale, and he was angry with the scoundrel William, and he couldn't wait to spray a mouthful of old blood on William's head.

Seeing off His Majesty's emissary Henry, William waited for another three days, and after confirming that Count Kay and the others had indeed not acted rashly, and had withdrawn a large number of troops from the border area, William, who had been in a nervous state, breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that it was certain that the parish of Liser would not be attacked by the Earl of Cay again, William left behind six hundred infantry and one hundred light and heavy cavalry, and led a regular army of more than 1,800 men and the reserve militia to escort the rich booty in the direction of the Barony of Vernon.

Although it has been confirmed that the Earl of Kaye will no longer blatantly attack William, who can say for sure?

In response to this, William had no choice but to expand his army again, adding 2,100 infantry and 300 light and heavy cavalry in one go, and the standing guard force formed in addition to it was huge.

Another expansion of the army was undoubtedly very costly, but fortunately, William also had the confiscated property of the knights of Waxon and the wealth handed over by the church, so that he could support such a frequent expansion of the army.

After bidding farewell to Sir Rodrigo, William had Sir Hubert lead an infantry regiment and three hundred light and heavy cavalry to Vernon with gold and silver coins, supplies and ordnance, while he himself led two hundred light and heavy cavalry, one hundred companion cavalry, two hundred Norman heavy infantry and one hundred longbowmen to the west towards the Barony of Agentang.

The Barony of Agentão was located in the northwest of the Countdom of Evreux, and most of its borders were adjacent to the Countdom of Mortan, so William had to befriend Baron Richard of Agentão in order to guard against a surprise attack by the Counts of Mortin.

After two days of marching, before entering the territory of the Barony of Agentau, William met Richard, Baron of Agentau, who had led the army.

"Lord Baron Richard, I was about to go to the Baron of Argenton to see you, but I didn't expect to meet you here!"

"It is a great honor, His Highness William!" Baron Richard said respectfully, "I heard a few days ago that you had annihilated Baron Codontam's army, so I led my troops to find out.

It just so happens that you have come to the Barony of Agentang, so come back with me to the Barony of Agentang and sit down! ”

"It's an honor, Lord Richard."

William accompanied Baron Richard to the castle of Agenitau, where he came into contact with many of the knights of Agenitão along the way, sending warriors to compete with them.

After careful observation, William found that the Argenton knights were indeed much stronger than the Vernon knights and Wexon knights he had fought before, and even compared with Henry's personal guard knights.

With such a strong army, William's eyes could not help but be warm, and the next day he expressed to Baron Richard and the knights that he wished to have their second son join his cavalry unit.

In this regard, Baron Richard and the knights naturally did everything, and it was too late to be happy for their heirs to fight for a good future, how could they refuse!
