That's it, the Hereford family's army remained as it was. After his father's retirement www.biquge.info William issued a land edict in the fastest time after his father's retirement, which stabilized the hearts of the slightly shaken soldiers. At the same time, all five legions were ready to go. More than 60,000 Hereford soldiers are ready to take on the Emperor's 100,000-strong army.

As William said, we are making history. And not like the second Great Border War before it. This time, we are not from the perspective of the weak, there is no so-called power to turn the tide, there is no last cry that erupts in a desperate situation, there is no one chance of a thousand shots, and there is no one in a million expectation. There's no such thing as excitement, not at all, and there's only one reason for that - we're getting stronger.

"This time, we are not participating in this war as weaklings in a vulnerable position. We enter as the strong and fight with the actions of the strong. All the honors we have won in the end, the spoils of war and the results of the war, are of course deserved by the strong!"

On the outskirts of Wroclaw, in the face of the 60,000-strong army gathered here, William did his best to bless the voice with his vindictive spirit to ensure that everyone present could hear him.

His voice was not impassioned, nor was it filled with grief or anger. It's just very calm and bland, as if recounting the facts. In fact, William is telling the truth. This kind of fact does not make people excited, he only makes people feel calm, calm, and confident.

That's it.

The Hereford family's 60,000 troops, including tens of thousands of cavalry and hundreds of artillery pieces, slew his enemies in this way.

Pleasant.

Since the other party killed him without hesitation, it is better to fight back without hesitation.

The other side will concentrate almost all the main forces together, so it is better to concentrate all the main forces together.

William attacked in this way. While Kalman IV's army was attacking the Hereford family to the east, the Hereford family did not hesitate to kill Kalman IV's 100,000 army...... Then without hesitation, the car overturned Brandenburg, Lünerburg and Magdeburg.

The three small northeastern states seem to have received a message from the emperor beforehand. At the same time, they understood the quarrel between the Hereford family and the Britons. According to their feelings, the Hereford family will defend during this time. Or they simply panicked because of the emperor's surprise attack and didn't know what to do.

These small states of the empire, which had been in a panic after the Hereford family easily occupied Shilonsk, felt that they could finally relax and live a good life.

The Hereford family has fewer troops, and they will be on the defensive. They won't attack themselves anymore. And after the emperor arrived with his army, he had no problem at all.

Of course, this statement is not entirely true. Some of the nobles of the small states also expressed a degree of concern.

In today's era of basic logistical supplies, the materials needed by the army are obtained locally in addition to local acquisition. After these three small states became the front line, it was natural that they would take on some, if not most, of the logistical supply tasks of the Imperial Army.

As I said before, there are not many people in these three small empires, and the land is not very vast. The logistical pressure of the 100,000-strong army weighed heavily on their chests, leaving them almost breathless.

However, no matter how difficult it is, it is necessary to work hard - the current imperial annexation is getting more and more serious, and the room for small and weak countries like them is getting smaller and smaller.

Although His Majesty the Emperor is under the banner of orthodoxy and maintaining the traditional order of the empire. But if he had the chance, he would never hesitate to swallow these little bone-belts into his stomach.

That's it, they don't need to worry about these things now. It's also a pleasure to be a little bit. William's surprise attack, with the rapid maneuver of two separate cavalry brigades, wiped out several small states that were completely unprepared and unprepared.

It seems that he feels his status and has been predestined as a "nouveau riche" and a "vulgar invader". So William didn't care much about the appearance of the food this time - it was already like that anyway. Swallow the benefits or something, and talk about the rest later.

In this way, after the three states were annexed, they were merged by William, and then formed a northern region of the empire, which is somewhat unknown by the name of the so-called name.

Many people who don't know how to do it feel a little inexplicable about William's title - but those who know how to do it are very frightened and even overwhelmed by it.

This is not the signature of the duke, grand duke, or any feudal lord's territory. Rather, it is a "large region". This represents the name of centralization. Centralized power, counties, and provinces were used to replace feudalism and feudalism.

His Majesty the Emperor really didn't say it casually when he said that "he broke the imperial traditions......

"Is this really okay?" While others marveled at William's cruelty, the generals and ministers around William were also worried about William's actions - even if William supported some puppets and made them the kings of small states. Or even go a step further, William annexes them, merges them into a duke, and then proclaims himself duke...... But in this way, a few aristocratic titles were erased in one go, and the entire territory, hundreds of thousands of people, was formed into a centrally administered administrative district. It's a bit ......

"It doesn't matter, anyway, yes it doesn't matter. William smiled pleasantly: "Anyway, after this, all the territories in the territory of the Hereford family will be changed to regions, provinces, and provinces like this, so that they can be ruled - what I want is a country that can be directly ruled and managed. I don't want anyone to stand in my way. ”

"Well, those nobles ......" An officer hesitated, but finally couldn't help but ask the question.

"They can be officials. William said happily: "I have not deprived the petty nobles below the earl, nor have I deprived them of their domains, nor have I deprived them of their titles. They can continue to operate their own land or invest in industry. It is possible to train talents to join the administrative system of the Hereford Empire. They still have more opportunities than the average person. Do they have anything to complain about?"

Whether they were dissatisfied or not, in short, William was now feeling dissatisfied.

That's pretty much it. There are almost no great nobles within the territory of the Hereford family. The territories controlled by the minor nobles were almost all below the rank of "county". They are not qualified and have no reason to demand the continuation of feudalism. It is only natural that the Hereford family will establish a modern system of government in the future. They were reclassified into administrative regions and professional affairs officers were dispatched to administer them.

Although the nobles still had countless opportunities, they were still much more likely to get ahead than the commoners. It's as if William said it. But everyone knows that these guys will be even more unhappy, their unhappiness, unpleasantness, and not accepting it is almost a matter of course. Because, although William promised them a wonderful future, he shattered the very foundation on which they depended for their livelihood.

Feudalism.

Their thousand-year-old hereditary domains, and the feudal relationships and obligations they have maintained for thousands of years, will be abolished. Without these things, is an empty nobleman really considered an aristocracy?

William didn't care, though.

Feudalism involves two aspects, one is power and the other is obligation. The duty of the vassals was to provide money to the liege and soldiers to the other.

The problem was that in this day and age, William didn't need their pitiful tribute, and he didn't need their troops that were seriously behind the times......

Unless these families were able to draw one or two lancers, the kind of cavalry, William did not know where else to recruit them except from noble families who still had aristocratic traditions. Therefore, these families who were able to draw cavalry were more or less given preferential treatment.

But this preferential treatment was not due to their noble status, but because of their military service. The implication was the relationship between the king and the soldiers of the army, not the vassal relationship between feudal lords...... Although at the moment, there are quite a few lancers who do not understand the difference.

All in all, these guys can't travel as a vassal obligation, and William is not in the mood to continue to take care of the power of these guys. This delightful, intoxicating aristocratic system, system, William did not hesitate to do so like garbage. As many nobles criticized, William, who was born as a low-level knight, has never had a noble heart.

William looked very pleasant, as if he had gained something, or stretched out some wish. The officers and ministers around him were speechless for a while, and at the same time even more worried.

As a group of people who were most familiar with William, they clearly felt the change in William.

After truly taking control of the full power of the Hereford family, William appeared to be a little ...... Well, a little too excited.

But when you think about it, it seems like a no-brainer.

He was young. He has a very high status. He controls one of the most powerful countries in the world, one of the most powerful war machines. If William was still as calm as before, as if nothing had happened. That's weird.

But...... Is that really okay? They will soon face the world's most murderous and largest army and its commander. With such a state of mind, is William really okay?
