Over the next month, William in Rouen received one surprise report after another from Captain Dirk.

During the month's war, Captain Dirk led the North Sea Fleet in a night raid on Port Bari, a small and medium-sized port town in the county of Glamorgan, and burned it to the ground.

He then led a fleet to attack Milford Harbour, an important port in the Duchy of De Hebas in the Earldom of Devid.

With the lessons learned from the last night attack on Barry Harbor, this time Captain Dirk also took advantage of the Norman night raid again, firing only a small number of rocket ballista guns as fire cover, landing directly at Milford Harbor, and directly occupying the place.

After sacking Milford Harbour, Captain Dirk personally led a force of 1,200 men to attack Fort Dinevre, the capital of the Duchy of Dehbath, 15 kilometers away.

At this time, the castle was in a state of emptiness, and due to the bad news that their Duke Maledus II had been captured, the defenders of the castle were completely panicked and had no intention of fighting.

After only symbolically resisting for a while, they simply abandoned the place and retreated to the rear with their troops.

After capturing Fort Dinevre, Captain Dirk did not mean to hold on to the place, but instead burned the Fort Dinevre after plundering, and then led his army to evacuate.

Captain Dirk was not complacent at all after such a major victory, and then attacked all the coastal port towns of the Duchy of Dechbas, including Newport, Tenby, Lanelli, Swansea, Carmarthen, Cardiff, Barry, and other important towns.

Although William did not know how much wealth and supplies they had captured, relying on the amount of goods carried by merchant ships between Le Havre and Wales, William could surmise that Captain Dirk must have gained a lot of money, at least 30,000 pounds of silver.

Captain Dirk's unbridled raids in the Duchy of Degebas finally angered the wrath of all the princes and nobles of Wales and Ireland, who assembled a vast fleet of hundreds of ships and hundreds of ships to annihilate the disgusting and feared Norman fleet in one fell swoop.

That was the end of the battle report sent by Captain Dirk, and William did not know what the outcome of the upcoming battle at sea would be, so he had to wait for Captain Dirk to win.

To be honest, William didn't know if he could have the effect he expected after replacing the guns on Galen's ship with bed crossbows, so he was also nervous.

Although William's heart was preoccupied with the imminent naval battle, his attention had turned to Jeanne and Rodrigo, who had already cleared and pacified the Duchy of Brittany, and had returned to Rouen in Normandy with his army.

Paying attention to the nobles such as Count Rodrigo, Count Andrew, Jeanne, and Baron Ferdinand, William personally led Count Hubert and the nobles out of the city to welcome them back.

In order to give these returning heroes an unforgettable surprise, William specially prepared a grand triumphal ceremony for them.

Countless inhabitants of the city of Rouen were summoned to the revelry, where a joint troupe of bards performed their triumphal poems, and even a rain of petals prepared by William fell in the sky.

There is no doubt that William's actions touched all the nobles present, and they all felt envy and jealousy for Rodrigo and Jenny and others in their hearts.

What followed was a grand canonization ceremony, in which one person was made viscount, three were made barons, and the rest of the nobles such as vice-barons, knights, and knights were countless in the war to pacify the Duchy of Brittany.

Among these lucky ones, the highly decorated Baron Ferdinand was canonized by William as Viscount of Cherbourg of Morten, the Sauron brothers Mephistopheles and Albert were canonized as barons, and the Knight Jeanne, the greatest contributor to the war, had to be canonized by William as Baron of Alfranche of Mortin due to the strong opposition of the nobles and her mistakes.

Count Rodrigo and Count Andrew also received a certain amount of estate, but not much, as William's punishment for their inaction and leadership in this conflict, and they should have been given another large tract of fertile arable land.

In addition to the canonization ceremony and the praise ceremony, what followed was a sumptuous celebration banquet as usual.

Of course, the protagonist of the banquet is undoubtedly Baron Jeanne, who attacked the city of Morlay in this war, destroyed the enemy's baggage and grass, and finally defeated the opposing coalition army.

Although many nobles were jealous of Jenny, a country girl who was favored by William, they were not easy to attack on this occasion, so they had to cooperate with William's cronies and noble generals to congratulate and toast Jenny.

It was as if the Earl of Rhodes, who had been left out by everyone, seemed to be a nobody, and there was no embarrassment on his face, he knew that as long as he could continue to be trusted by William, this reduced reward would not matter at all, he believed that in the next few days, he would definitely be reused by William, which was communicated between William and him a long time ago, and it was also the compensation for him being regarded by William as the object of Liwei.

In the evening, after William had finished the banquet, he returned to his study, accompanied by the guards of the Guards, and continued to lie down on the table to deal with political affairs.

Despite the excitement of the previous banquet, William didn't drink much, and his brain remained clear, which allowed him to continue to deal with government affairs.

Like William, Jenny was a very restrained person, and although many people toasted her at the banquet, she actually drank not much of it, and Jeanne was able to stay awake when she left the banquet hall.

It was almost nine o'clock, and just when William wanted to go down to rest, there was a sound of gentle footsteps outside the door, accompanied by the sound of a knock on the trick, and a very nice female voice came: "Your Royal Highness William, I'm Jenny, are you still here?" Is it convenient for me to come in? ”

"Please come in, Jenny." William said to Jenny outside the door.

After getting William's permission, Jenny pushed open the door, saluted William and said, "His Royal Highness William, I am here at this time to ask you a few questions. ”

"Please, Jenny." William nodded in response.

"Your Highness William, you know that I have been inspired by God to assist you in becoming King of France.

These days, I already know that you have completely surpassed the current King Henry I of France, and that you can march into France, march into Paris, march into Reims, and be crowned King of France at the Cathedral of Reims, the coronation site of the French royal family.

I want to know what your ambition is, to be crowned King of France in order to have enough strength with you, but not yet to unify France. Jenny took a deep breath, exhaled softly, and said.
