For three days, Gerhard, Duke of Upper Lorraine. Shawatan and Henry, Count of Palaties. Ezzon and the others have been waiting for nearly three days on the road to reinforcements from Brussels, and they are getting closer and closer to the Norman reinforcements mentioned in the letter, but these days, Mo said that there are Norman reinforcements, and not even a single detective ranger has been seen, and even the clumsy people have noticed that something is wrong.

At the same time, a Norman cavalry that usually hung around them was gone.

"Lord Duke, Lord Duke, no!" Suddenly, one of the guards shouted as he walked into the tent.

"What's going on!" The Duke of Upper Lorraine immediately opened his mouth to inquire about this man.

"Lord Duke, the more than 1,000 Norman cavalry that had been entangled with us before have lost their traces since this morning, and we specially sent cavalry to check on them, and found ......," the soldier said, and when he saw that the Duke of Lorraine and the Count of Palz were staring at him, his words were suddenly stuck.

"What happened? Say it! The guard's words seemed to confirm the ominous premonition in the heart of the Duke of Lorraine who had come to the Upper Lorraine for the past two days, and he immediately stared at this person and asked.

"Swallow," the guard swallowed, and said stiffly, "Lord Duke, when we approached the Norman camp today, there was no sign of any soldiers there. ”

"Bastard!" The Duke of Upper Lorraine stood up suddenly, threw the military map and other objects on the table to the ground, and said hatefully: "Bastard! Cheap breed! Bandit leader! ”

The Duke of Upper Lorraine kept cursing William in his mouth, and he was still angry in his heart, and he picked up the rescue letter forged by William on the table and smashed it without looking at it.

Boom...

Henry, Count of Palaties. Ezzoon pulled out the sword in his hand and slashed at the table in front of him, as if it were William's head.

"Lord Duke, the Normans must have slipped away in the night last night, they must not be able to run far, we must pursue them immediately!" Henry, Count of Fartz, put away his sword and looked at the Duke of Upper Lorraine and said.

"Lord Earl Henry, you are right, we cannot easily let go of William, the bastard son who dares to deceive us!

The whole army immediately marched towards the kingdom of Zeeland and pursued the Normans! The Duke of Upper Lorraine nodded in agreement.

After speaking, the Duke of Upper Lorraine looked at Henry, Count of Palz, and ordered: "Count Henry, you are the cavalry commander of our army, so you will lead the troops first." ”

"Yes, Lord Duke!" Henry, Count of Palazzo, stood up and took the order.

.......

Count of Zela on the banks of the Rhine estuary, a Norman camp.

The building was already empty, and at William's orders, Roger. Morality. Baron Outwell and Walter Jr. After loading and unloading his baggage in the camp, Sir Giffard departed yesterday evening on a ship docked on the shore.

As for the camp, in order to confuse their opponents and buy time, they did not move it, but remained in its place.

Now the camp has a new guest, Henry Earl of Palz, who has been in pursuit. Ezzoon.

"Heresy! Bastard! Despicable bastard! ......" Henry, Earl of Falz, who had found nothing, cursed William in a rage, and exhausted all his words could not describe the anger in his heart at this moment.

"Burn it all down!" It seemed that cursing William could not remove the anger in his heart, and looking at the empty Norman camp, he instantly felt that it was an eyesore.

"Yes, Lord Count."

The soldiers were ordered to scatter with torches.

Soon, the deserted camp soon burst into flames and swept through the entire camp, believing that it would soon be engulfed in flames.

"Baron Goswin, have you found any signs of the Normans?" Count Farz asked, looking at the young nobleman riding his horse not far away.

"Back to the Duke, on the west side of the camp we have found traces of a large number of troops leaving, presumably they must have gone to the Earl of Gende on the west side." Baron Stalek Goswin. Feng. Starek replied respectfully.

"Baron Goswin, gather the knights quickly, and we will pursue them westward! I'm going to catch the Normans this time. Henry, Count of Palaties, ordered.

"Yes, Lord Count." Baron Stalek Goswin bowed and left.

Subsequently, the Count of Palz immediately led more than 2,000 cavalry under his command to pursue in the direction of William's departure, and before leaving, he did not forget to send cavalry to inform the Duke of Upper Lorraine with news.

However, William had already been gone for three full days at this time, and they could not catch up with William no matter what, and the final result could only be in vain.

Thinking of Gihad, Duke of Upper Lorraine. The angry appearance of Shawarmtang and Henry, Earl of Palez, made William burst out laughing.

"Your Majesty, why are you laughing?" Duke Richard rode over and asked curiously.

"Nothing, just that I suddenly remembered Gihard, Duke of Upper Lorraine. When Shawarman and Henry, Earl of Falz, saw that they were being teased and angry, I could not help but find them very ridiculous.

Imagine it, too, my Lord Richard. William held back a smile and smiled at Duke Richard.

"Hahahaha, that's ridiculous, I think they're going to jump up and down in a fit of rage like baboons in the Royal Zoo, that's ridiculous!" Duke Richard immediately burst out laughing at the thought of the baboons he had seen at the Royal Zoo in London, which William had founded.

"No, ahahaha, that's a fitting analogy, they're a bunch of angry red-ass baboons!" William couldn't hold back his laughter anymore and burst out laughing.

The nobles who were beside William also heard the conversation between them and immediately couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Soon, more than 20,000 soldiers in the whole army also heard about this and laughed out loud.

The bards who accompanied the army even rehearsed a poem on the spot, mocking the stupidity of the Duke of Lorraine and others and praising William's wit and bravery, a story that would spread throughout the continent and become the daily conversation of the nobles.

Perhaps when the time comes, Gihad, Duke of Upper Lorraine. Shawtaun and Henry, Count of Falz, and others might have to fight hard because they heard others talking about their jokes.

"Lord Richard, there's Brussels ahead of you." William asked, looking at Duke Richard.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we have left the country of Genteb, passed through the country of Ennob, and entered the territory of the country of Blatbon, and are expected to arrive under the city of Brussels this afternoon." Duke Richard replied with a nod.

"It seems that the decisive battle with the HRE Emperor is not far off......" William looked at the sky and sighed.
