Chapter 176: The Late Baron Tyson

Just as William led his army in pursuit, preparing to sweep the Countdom of Mortan in one go, there were shouts of killing in front of him, and William immediately sent people to investigate.

After a while, several Rangers returned, delivering the news to William through Faller.

"His Royal Highness William, it's Lanouf. Baron Tyson, who is leading his army to stop the fleeing noble rebels. Faller reported in front of William.

"It's a good time to appear at this time, my Lanouf. Lord Baron Tyson. William's eyes narrowed slightly, and he gritted his teeth.

Lanouf Tayson can just lead the army to block the fleeing rebels, indicating that he is staying near the battlefield, so that he can just seize the opportunity to intercept the fleeing noble rebels, as for why he didn't appear before, compared to opportunistic psychology, he must be observing the battlefield nearby, if the battle is deadlocked, he will probably not appear, if William wins, he can just lead the troops to block the rebels' way back, so that he Baron Taisong also has credit, William is not easy to say about him, but if William fails, Maybe Baron Tyson will fight back.

William hated this kind of half-hearted aristocracy the most, they always regarded noble titles and territories as their own private property, and did not care that his ancestors had received the favor of the Normandy family to become a noble baron.

What they want most is for the country to remain in chaos, so that they will have the opportunity to seize territory and expand their power.

If there is no chaos in their lord's territory, their power is likely to be limited by the lord, and they can no longer expand their power unscrupulously, and they will not even be able to do as they want in their own territory, which they absolutely do not want to see.

Every time a new lord succeeded to the throne, they always had to start a rebellion, just to undermine the lord's authority so that they could seize their own interests.

William just sneered lightly, and his face returned to normal again, after all, Baron Tyson was a great nobleman who defected to William before the war, and William could not arrest him for no reason without conclusive evidence of his rebellion, but instead used him as a typical example of a daughter to rebel against more nobles.

Although William can't touch him now, Baron Tyson has already been recorded in William's little notebook, and William's revenge will follow when the opportunity is right, and Baron Tyson will also pay the price for his choice today.

When William led his army to join Baron Tyson's army, Baron Tyson led two nobles who were bound all over his body to William's side, and said respectfully: "Lord Duke William, Baron Bersan, Lanouf, and Baron Grimmel, Baron of Plessis, have been captured by me, and none of the knights to whom they belong have escaped, please dispose of them personally." ”

"Thanks to you, Baron Tyson, I have the right to deal with these rebel nobles. By the way, why didn't you join the battle in time and attack from behind the rebels' flanks? Hearing this, William soothed, and suddenly his tone turned cold, and his eyes sternly asked Baron Tayson.

"This..."Baron Tyson was stunned by William's bluff, and when he heard the words, he asked sharply after a while, and Sir Tyson, who was not mentally prepared at all, had to stutter in embarrassment, and stumbled and said:

"Well, I beg your pardon, Your Highness William, my army consists of only a hundred knights and hundreds of squires, and the rest of the soldiers are only serfs and yeoman farmers that I have temporarily recruited, and they cannot be compared with the elite led by you.

Now that I have not been able to make it to the battlefield in time, it is also because of the drag of these levies, and I ask you to forgive your sins. ”

Seeing Baron Taisong's sweaty and nervous appearance, William smiled, and said, "Don't be nervous, Baron Taisong, I just asked why you didn't rush to the battlefield, but I was curious for a moment to ask, and I didn't mean to blame." ”

"Whew..."Baron Taisong exhaled lightly, touched the sweat on his forehead, and said with palpitations: "Please rest assured, I will serve you wholeheartedly in the future, and if there is any violation, I will be at your disposal." ”

"Baron Taison, you don't have to be like this, it's just that I have always had high requirements for military discipline, and there is no room for sand in my eyes, and in the future, when you join my command, you must abide by military discipline well, and there must be no violation, you know? Baron Tyson. William said with a smile as if nothing had happened before.

"Yes, yes, I'll definitely pay attention to it later." Baron Tyson nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"When you first joined my command, I don't know that I have many military discipline requirements for the army, and I don't blame you." William patted Tyson on the arm and ordered, "In this case, you will first send these conscripts back to their respective manor villages, and then you will take your knights and servants to join the knights of Baron Richard of Agenthon, I think it will be good for you." ”

William did not mention the important official position of the Duke's Palace that he had promised before, but threw Baron Tyson into the knights of Baron Richard to be trained.

The weak-hearted Baron Tyson did not mention the previous conditions, but it was frequent, but in any case, in the hearts of Baron Tyson and William, a distrustful plant had been planted, just waiting for it to take root, and it would not be strange for Baron Tyson to betray William at that time.

After sending Baron Tyson away, William immediately summoned his noble knights, officers and warriors who had made meritorious contributions on the battlefield.

When everyone gathered in front of William's tent, William, who was standing on the high platform, looked down at everyone, nodded slightly, and announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, our army has won a decisive victory, destroying the main force of the rebels, and sweeping away the county of Mortan is just around the corner!" I would like to announce a few things here. ”

William's tone paused, and seeing that everyone was listening attentively to this, he continued: "First of all, the nobles who oppose me will be punished as they deserve, including Nigel, Baron of Cotentin, Baron Lanouf, Baron of Afranche, Baron Grimmel, Baron of Plessis, and all the noble knights who participated in the rebellion, including those under their command, I declare that they will be deprived of their titles of nobility and the fiefdoms under their titles, which they deserve.

Finally, and most importantly, I announce that all officers and warriors who have made meritorious deeds will be awarded the title of knight and a knight's manor as a fiefdom.

In addition, I will knight thirty knights of merit, who will be knighted by more than two estates, and who will be knighted, and who will be selected to be officers of all ranks in the new realm, and who will be promoted to high ranks, as they deserve for their valiant fights for me.

Now invite them to come forward and accept my canonization on stage, and accept the cheers of everyone! ”

"Oh oh! The generals in the audience cheered and jumped with great anticipation.

"Robin of Root, Ian of Garr, Jacob of Fast...... more than 150 people who were named by William were so excited that they couldn't wait to stand in front of the stage and receive cheers.
