On the second day, William left Faller's 2,000 standing militia and instructed him to guard over the 10,000 captives of the Duchy of Anjou with Vice-Baron Geoffrey, who was stationed in the Barony of Afranche, and then led an army of 30,000 south to the county of Enman, ready to receive his new domain.

William divided his army into three units, led by Baron Richard, Baron Rodrigo, and Barons William and Hubert, each of whom numbered about 10,000 men in order to resist the possible resistance of the local nobility.

In fact, William's caution proved to be not wrong, and if William was paralyzed by relying on the surrender of the Earl of Enman to William after the surrender of Nymphroy, then the barons and knights of the Earldom of Enman would be willing to teach you what it means to be a vassal of my vassals and not my vassals, and what is a noble vassal (traitor).

Of course, even if the local nobles resisted William's rule, when the Count of Ofroy handed over the county of Enman to William, their actions could be called a rebellion in the name of righteousness, and William could justifiably strip them of their domains and titles.

Therefore, they would always hesitate to start a rebellion, and some nobles who were afraid of William's military might would back down and even defect to William, which was extremely beneficial for William to clean up the county of Enman.

With the cooperation of the Count of Jofroy and the defection of a few local knights, neither the Barony of Le Mans, the county capital of Enman, nor the Barony of Beaumont, the Barony of Mayenne, the parish of Ephrón, and the city of Laval could resist William's advance, and any nobles who tried to resist were ruthlessly stripped of their titles and domains by William.

Of course, some undetermined rebels gathered an army and prepared to fight William, but the nobles who had lost their territory could not support an army at all, and in the face of William's tempting conditions and the bloody steel knives handed over, most of the undetermined nobles chose to give in to William and sacrifice their knees and loyalty.

Of course, the generous William will forgive these knights and knights who have taken refuge, which sets a good example for the knights and nobles who are still hesitating.

In order to give these hesitant people another boost, William once again declared to the recalcitrant nobles that only these rebellious barons, mayors, and parish bishops were unforgivable, and that if they could be killed or captured, all of them could be kept alive and richly rewarded.

Although William's conditions harbored evil intentions and no one responded immediately, a suspicion was planted in the hearts of the rebels.

As the leader of the rebels, the barons and nobles and others couldn't help but cast suspicious eyes on the knights around them, and the suspicious knights and nobles also became wary of their lords, so that the combat ability of this Enman noble rebel army plummeted.

Without any reinforcements to help them, William became more and more comfortable encircling them.

Just when William sent troops to receive the county of Enman and sweep away the rebels of the nobles of Enman, the Duke of Anjou's palace, the Duke of Anjou's 'elder' Duke of Forkes III, who was over sixty years old, received the unfortunate news brought by the Count of Vendée, and immediately collapsed on the ground, and the slight illness he was suffering from became more serious at this time.

The Count of Vendée, seeing that the Duke of Anjou was in despair, hurriedly lifted him up, and said to himself, "It is all my fault, Lord Duke, if I had persuaded Jofroy to be more cautious, I would not have let him fall into the trap of being defeated and captured." ”

"It's not your fault, Count Vendée." Forkes, Duke of Anjou, leaned back on the edge of the bed and looked up at the Count of Vendée and said, "I know the character of Jofroy, even if you try to persuade him to be careful, he will not take your words to heart. The most important thing now is to redeem Jofrois, and I can accept it at any cost. ”

"Rest assured, I will arrange for an envoy to William, Duke of Normandy, and I promise to bring back Jofroy and his army safely." The Count of Vendée nodded solemnly.

"Please, Count Vendée." The Duke of Anjou placed his right hand on the arm of the Count of Vendée and entrusted.

After the Count of Vendée left, the Duke of Anjou began to gather the army in his domain, despite his illness.

However, the 25,000 troops that the Count of Ofroy had taken away were already the vast majority of Anjou's military strength, especially the knights in the territory were almost exhausted, and it was impossible to gather enough knights and troops.

In the Middle Ages, the number of knights was directly related to the strength of a country's military power, and the infantry, which consisted of mercenaries, freemen, and conscripted serfs, was so dubious in combat effectiveness that it was impossible to count at all.

Therefore, most of the knights belonging to the Duke of Anjou were served by William, and they could not even raise more than 10,000 troops, of which the number of knights was even more pitiful.

In the battle of Dongfulong, it can be said that William directly broke the backbone of the Duchy of Anjou, and within ten years, before the new generation of knights grows up, the power of the Duke of Anjou will not be able to recover at all.

While the Duke of Anjou was anxiously awaiting news from the Count of Vendée in despair, William's messenger came to visit the Duke of Anjou at the Ducal Palace with a letter from Jovrois and a mission from William.

Upon hearing of his son, the Duke of Anjou immediately gave up all his business and hurried to meet William's messenger.

After receiving a letter from Jofrois, the boulder in the Duke of Anjou's heart finally fell to the ground, and being able to write to him showed that he was still alive and sound.

As for William's request for the restoration of peace, the acquisition of the title and domain of the county of Enman, and the demand for compensation of a large amount of gold and silver, the Duke of Anjou was mentally prepared for this, after all, the demand for defeat in the overwhelming side was justified, reasonable and legitimate.

But the Duke of Folkes was not prepared to agree to William's conditions immediately, but began to bargain with the messengers who came, and it was completely impossible to see that he was anxious at the beginning. If he had said yes, William would probably have opened his mouth and bitten the Count of Ofroy.

However, the envoy sent by William was a loyal and stubborn man, no matter how the Duke of Anjou bargained, he would not agree to any rude request of the Duke of Anjou, no matter what method the Duke of Anjou used, the envoy always clung to the conditions given by William.

There was no room for delay for the Duke of Anjou, who had received news of William's full-scale invasion of the county of Enman, and the entangled rebellion of the local nobility was about to be quelled.

Faced with a menacing Normandy army of 30,000, the Duke of Anjou, who was unable to resist, finally chose to give in.
