The Norwegians were trapped in the port camp because of the fainting of King Harald IV, the Danes also held the camp and held their troops, and the Normans, in order to wait for the opportunity, also held on to the castle of Calais, unwilling to take the initiative to provoke a battle, and for a while the Normans and Vikings formed a confrontation with each other, and no one could help the other.

Whether it was the Vikings of Norway and Denmark, or the Normans, they were cunning hunters who were good at fighting, and both sides were waiting, waiting for the moment when the other showed their flaws.

Three days later, there seemed to be a commotion among the Norwegians, and King Harald IV of Norway, who was supposed to be fainting and unable to see things, suddenly appeared in the barracks and began to direct the army to pull out the camp.

"Sure enough, Harald IV's sudden fainting was a play, and his purpose was to lure our army out of the city to attack the Norwegian camp, and he must have ambushed a large number of troops in the camp, just waiting for us to jump into the trap that had been laid out long ago." Duke Andrew looked at the Norwegians who were camping outside the city according to the information sent back by Earl Russell earlier, and nodded.

After listening to Duke Andrew's words, Testin's face was a little unpleasant, but he didn't have a seizure, but just looked at William, Earl of Genie, gloomily. Morality. Crepon, it is clear that their relationship has deteriorated to the point of becoming enemies of each other.

However, William, Earl of Genety, seemed to be indifferent, completely ignored the vicious eyes of Mayor Terstin, looked at Duke Andrew and said:

"Lord Duke, the Norwegians are pulling out their camp, and I am afraid that they want to leave the port of Calais for him, and if they are allowed to leave easily, I am afraid it will cause us great trouble."

"It's okay, Lord Count Guinie, there is no need to worry about this, the Norwegians are nothing more than a bluff, and their intention is still to lure our army out of Calais Castle and take the initiative." Duke Andrew waved his hand, shook his head slightly, pointed to the port of Calais with his right hand and said:

"You see, the nearly 2,000 Viking longships moored in the port area of Calais show no sign of setting sail at all, and there are not many sailors on the Viking longships preparing to set sail.

So I'm sure that Harald IV must have been plotting to lure us in. ”

After speaking, Duke Andrew handed the copper monoculars in his hand to William, Earl of Genety. Morality. Crepon.

"Sure enough, as you said, it is true that the Norwegians left the camp and lured our army to be fooled, and Harald IV is really scheming and cunning." William, Earl of Genie. Morality. After taking a closer look with the monocular in his hand, Crepon nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Earl Russell, the Duke of Richard's army has arrived, and have you received a reply from His Majesty William?" Duke Andrew turned out to be William, Earl of Genie. Morality. Crepon returned the telescope and looked at Russell. Morality. Said the Count of Brewell.

"Your Excellency the Duke, the Duke of Richard's Fourth Legion has arrived at Fort Kassel in the Earldom of Yprin, and it will take only two days to reach the Château de Calais.

As for His Majesty's reply, it has not yet been received, and as far as I know, His Majesty is at war with the nobles of Burgundy, and cannot be contacted for a while. Earl Russell bowed slightly and said.

Although Andrew was the Duke of Belgium, Russell. Morality. Brewell was also a direct vassal under William, a count, and there was no subordinate relationship between the two of them, so the Earl of Russell did not need to submit to each other, but only got along with each other as colleagues.

"It seems that we will have to wait and see what happens, and only when the Duke of Richard arrives at the Château de Calais will the best time to fight back." Duke Andrew nodded and smiled.

......

Two days passed quickly, but the Duke of Richard did not arrive at the Château de Calais as scheduled, and the envoy of the other party gave the Duke Andrew the reason why he had not arrived at the Château de Calais on time.

"Baron Lambert, are you telling the truth?" Andrew looked at the comer, heard the terrifying news brought by Baron Lambert, looked at him in disbelief, and asked.

"Your Excellency, it is true, Your Excellency the Duke of Richard because of the Duke of Lower Lorraine, Friedrich. Feng. Luxembourg, Duke of Luxembourg, Gisbert. Feng. Luxembourg as well as Flores. In order to defend against the joint invasion of Hrufeyne, the Duke of Richay had to lead his army back to Sleisburg in Bourges to build a defensive line. "Lambert. Morality. Baron Argenton nodded and said.

"Damn, that's true." Duke Andrew cursed in secret, his face became extremely difficult to look at, the three princes of the Holy Roman Empire - Lower Lorraine, Luxembourg and the Netherlands - jointly invaded Flanders, this is the biggest crisis he has faced since he was crowned Duke of Belgium.

"Count Russell, please also inform His Majesty William of the situation here as soon as possible, the Holy Roman Empire's Lower Lorraine, Luxembourg and the Netherlands jointly invaded the Flanders region, plus the Vikings entrenched in Calais, Duke Richard and I can no longer support it, continue to send troops to support!" Duke Andrew looked at Earl Russell and said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Duke, I'll go." Earl Russell responded and quickly turned to leave.

......

Less than a day later, William, who was far away in the Duchy of Burgundy in France, received news of a joint invasion of Lower Lorraine, Luxembourg and the Netherlands through a well-established pigeon post system.

Almost at the same time that William received the news, an emissary from the Holy Roman Empire arrived at William's residence in the Duchy of Burgundy and formally submitted a declaration of war to William.

Although Wilhelm had expected Lower Lorraine, Luxembourg and the Netherlands to declare war on the Norman kingdom, what he did not expect was that this moment would come so suddenly, and they would join forces to launch an invasion at the same time as the Norwegians invaded.

Wilhelm, who was well acquainted with this history, knew that Friedrich, Duke of Lower Lorraine. Feng. Luxembourg, Duke of Luxembourg, Gisbert. Feng. Luxembourg as well as Flores. Herufey's situation with these three men, and he also studied the three of them, and the alliance between them was indeed justified.

Among them is Friedrich, Duke of Lower Lorraine. Feng. Luxembourg, Duke of Luxembourg, Gisbert. Feng. Luxembourg is a brotherly relationship, they are both members of the Luxembourg family, and it is not surprising that they are united.

And Flores in the Netherlands. Hrufein was also related to the Luxembourg family, his grandmother Rutica. Feng. Luxembourg was the aunt of Friedrich, Duke of Lower Lorraine, and Gisbert, Duke of Luxembourg. Luxembourg had already forged a close alliance through marriage.

This time, they sent troops to the Flanders region of the Norman Kingdom, on the one hand, with the authorization of Henry III, and on the other hand, because the Dukes of the Netherlands had territorial disputes with the Norman Kingdom, and William's newly conquered Duchy of Flanders and the Duchy of the Netherlands had disputes over the ownership of the counties of Zeeland and the counties of Gunde, and William also obtained the right to claim the counties of Ainault in the Duchy of Lower Lorraine by conquering the Duchy of Flanders.

Therefore, it is not surprising that these three parties have joined forces, but they must have taken advantage of this critical period to declare war, and it must have been because of the concatenation of King Henry I of Nassau, who fled to the court of Nassau in the HRE Empire.
