Strait of Normandy, France

Busy sailors marched among the small boats moored on the seashore, and the army of 12,000 men in hundreds of ships was the largest capital of Duke William's conquest of Britain and Ireland.

Later generations of the British Empire were able to act as a-stirring stick in Europe, engage in a continental balance of power policy on the European continent, unite the Netherlands with Spain, unite Germany with France, unite France and Italy with Germany, and unite France with Germany and Italy, skillfully adjust the countries on the European continent, so that the power of each country can be balanced, and do not let a certain country be too weak or too strong. Sometimes they are enemies, sometimes they are friends, so that neither too big nor too small countries can be said to be the biggest-stirring stick that Europe cannot reunify.

The British Empire never sought hegemony on the European continent, but it would not allow any country to dominate Europe.

The reason why such a-stirring empire was not beaten by European countries was not only because of the superior diplomacy of the British Empire, which never allowed itself to fall into isolation, but also because the British Empire was far away from the European continent, and if it wanted to attack England, it was necessary to cross the English Channel to carry out landing operations.

It's just that at this time, England had neither the invincible navy of later generations, nor the endless forts, and the Vikings in the past could enter Britain to plunder and even establish their own country on England, and for Duke William, the feat of landing in England was not difficult.

The real difficulty is whether the Celtic gods will stop themselves, any conquest cannot be smooth sailing, as long as a sudden storm, for Duke William, his entire fleet will be wiped out, let alone landing in England, conquering Britain, after returning to his hometown of Normandy, he can't even hold his duke's throne, and the king of France has long been full of jealousy for his kingdom, the strongest vassal.

The flag on the ship fluttered in the wind, it was William's flag, and it was also the flag of Michael, and Michael's flag was planted on the ship, which meant that Duke William's fleet was regarded as a moving French land, and this land was protected by Michael.

As long as Michael's flag is planted, it means that neither the pagan gods of Britain and Ireland nor the Christian saints can use off-the-beaten-the-box tricks against him, and both sides can only abide by the rules of the game.

If they are dissatisfied with their conquest of Britain, as long as they land in England at a critical moment, then the waves can directly swallow his fleet, and even the gods may personally kill him.

It was only with the double approval of the Pope and the Roman Emperor that Duke William could use the Michael flag smoothly in the name of "holy war", ignoring the maritime risks of landing in England.

"Target, England, go!"

Duke William gave the order, and the entire Grand Fleet cut the ropes in an instant, and a strong wind blew, and the fleet immediately headed straight for England.

The conquest is about to begin.

…………

"To maintain an army of a thousand people, you need at least 2 tons of flour and 1,000 gallons of fresh water per day. In particular, William brought a large number of knights, as knights they all carried war horses, in the process of sailing the ship, the supply of animals will be more difficult, especially the life on the ship, will make the combat effectiveness of the war horses after returning to the land, and each war horse needs to eat at least 12 pounds of millet and 13 pounds of licorice per day, if there are five hundred horses, then the total needs to consume more than 6 tons of grain and grass per day. If the horses' range of movement is confined to the camp, there are also serious health problems. Therefore, it is both a great force and a burden to conquer with a huge army, especially since this army has an unprecedented number of 12,000 men. ”

King Arthur was thinking in his heart about the advantages and disadvantages of Duke William's landing in Britain, no matter how he thought about it, as long as he thought of such a large army, he felt Alexander, and he looked at William, who seemed to know nothing at this time, and sighed in his heart.

Duke William was already aware of the fact that the fleet was headed towards Britain, and time was getting shorter and shorter, and there was not much time left for William.

Even if William defeats Francis, it is not easy to defeat the evil dragon William, but now no one can resist Duke William except William, so King Arthur can only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor for this matter, maybe William can really defeat the dragon duke.

"William, may the Lord bless you with peace and victory, grant you the glory and courage you deserve, and I hope I will be able to put the crown on your head."

King Arthur said words of blessing to William, William vs. Francis, this is a fateful duel between the two, this is the final duel, kings, princes, knights and heroes from all over the world are not lacking in strength and courage, but in the face of Francis's iron body bathed in dragon blood, almost no one is his frontal opponent, either he was poked to the ground with a spear with men and horses, or he was eliminated by him by exchanging injuries for injuries, and unwillingly withdrew from the ring of the duel.

Therefore, after Francis killed Liam, what should have been a wonderful ring has now completely become Francis's one-man show, and the opponents who challenged one after another have become the stepping stones for Francis to gain status and glory, so that no one dares to challenge him anymore, and the victory of this tournament is almost certain.

Originally, William should not have challenged Francis, but I, Francis, knew very well in my heart that if I couldn't defeat William and take away the fate of the dragon slayer from him, then even if he won the tournament, it would be difficult for him to fight against the dragon.

William is necessary for him, he must defeat William face to face, reunite the fate of the Dragon Slayer Warrior Separation on one person, and at the same time reclaim the favor of the Holy Sword Dawn for William.

Because of this, William was given the challenge of Liam, and by defeating Francis, William could get everything that Francis had.

"Francis is a difficult opponent, to defeat him, you need a weapon that can break his body's defenses, the Holy Armor has been taken away by him, do you really have confidence?"

"Of course, Your Majesty!" William replied, remembering the scene of Liam's death in battle, and his heart was mixed.

Liam's weakness is not Francis's weakness.

The law of victory was already predestined.
