The scenery on both sides was moving backwards quickly, and in the middle of summer, all kinds of flowers competed with each other, but Kang Tuoyi did not have the leisure to stop. He tried hard to whip the mount under his crotch with a horse whip. The brown horse ran so hard that he was sweating, but the owner on his back was still dissatisfied. The invaders on the border of Mecklenburg County made him upset, and what made him most uneasy was his two brothers. They each gathered their troops to occupy the castle, and they used war to solve the inheritance problem between them. The people of the Sislav tribe were panicked and divided into two parts.

People in the town of Wisma saw Kang Tuoyi leading three guards, galloping from the gate on the narrow muddy streets. He galloped straight towards Mayor Jaksh's house. When he arrived at the door of the house, several servants hurriedly stepped forward to hold the reins of the horse. Kang Tuoyi jumped off the horse. He strode into the house and saw Mayor Jakash and his son talking to each other, but they were a little surprised to see Kang Tuoyi coming in person.

"How many enemies are there entrenched on the border?" Kang Tuoyi took off the leather gloves in his hand and was still on the wooden table without saying a word. He sat on the wooden chair, picked up the cup on the table and drank the ale inside in one sip.

"There are about two or three hundred people." Mayor Jakash's son immediately walked forward and said to Kang Tuoyi. He could have roughly estimated that they had been discovered by the soldiers of the Rage Lion Castle at that time.

"Two, three hundred people? Why are you reporting to me now?" Kang Tuoyi said to the Jakash and his son with a reproachful frown when he heard this.

"This. We don't know when these people entered the border. You know, because your two brothers, Momith and Billis, they transferred all the border patrolmen into their own troops, resulting in insufficient personnel at the border. It takes almost three or four months to patrol the border. Maybe the enemy took advantage of this opportunity to enter." Mayor Jakash said to Kang Tuoyi.

"Oh?" Kang Tuoyi calmed down, and at the same time felt that the enemy this time was different from the wandering knights in the past. He was very planned and knew the situation in Mecklenburg County. This made him feel alert and deeply worried about the internal and external troubles of the Mecklenburg Emirates.

"They also built castles in the delta of the river. I have never seen such castles, like wood or mud, and are not the castles of the Southern Catholic princes, at all." Mayor Jakash's son added that he had seen the Rage Lion Castle with his own eyes. For the Europa who only used wooden villages and stones to build castles, the slab-style wall method was something they had never seen before.

"Castle, ha. They also built a castle under our noses." Kang Tuoyi was so angry that he was about to go crazy. The invaders not only shamelessly occupied his father's land, but also built a castle on it. This was a naked invasion of "chiluo". What made him even more angry was that his two brothers holding military power were indifferent, but they were just focused on the title of his father who had not yet died.

"Kangtuoyi is now the only person we can rely on. What should we do? We need your prestige to gather the army." Mayor Jakash said seriously. He was only the mayor of the town of Wisma, and all he could dispatch was the people in this town, but Kangtuoyi was different. He was the son of the chieftain and was known as a hero among his tribe. Not only the nobles of the other counties in Mecklenburg County would respond to his call and lead their own troops to help the war.

"These people must be driven out of our territory firmly. Otherwise, these Germans will think that we are weak and can be bullied. They will pour into our territory like locusts, occupying the land and enslaving our tribesmen." Kang Tuoyi ordered Mayor Jakash and his son in a decisive voice.

"Yes, Kangtuoyi, I will send my sons and subordinates to ride on horses and convey this order to the nobles of the Great Chiefs, in your name, our hero." Mayor Jakesh bowed to Kangtuoyi, and sent several subordinates from the town of Visma, including his sons. They rode fast horses to the great chiefs, and they were going to visit the nobles of the countryside, castles, towns and temples one by one, to convey to them the orders of the hero Kangtuoyi, and to lead the most elite subordinates to gather in the town of Visma.

It took at least one month for the nobles of the Sislavs to get news and mobilize war, and it took at least one month for the assembly from the Emirates to the town of Visma. During this period, Arod also noticed the tense atmosphere of the war. He also began to strengthen the fortifications of the castle and set up fixed rolling wood structures on the city walls. If these rolling wood were cut off from the fixed leather rope, they would roll down from the city wall and smash towards the attacking enemy. In addition, digging traps at strategic points to prevent the enemy from attacking the city walls from where they can successfully attack the city walls. Arod inspected the city walls every day to ensure that these measures would not go wrong at critical moments. The craftsmen also stepped up the construction of weapons, and even the slaves felt a tense atmosphere.

"What happened to Melina?" Martin asked Melina in a low voice when he saw Melina delivering food to them. Although they received much better treatment than before, they were still alert to these male labor slaves, Arod, and once the labor was finished, they locked them back into the long house and were imprisoned.

"War is war." Melina was quickly assigned to the Saxon Lord's house as a maid because of her cleverness, so she was able to obtain a lot of information that other slaves did not know.

"War? Who?" Martin asked curiously. He was not aware of the place he had been sold to by his slave owner.

"It was the Western Slavs. Count Arod believed that he had legal rights to this land, but the Western Slavs had lived here for a long time. It seemed that they could not reach an agreement. Both sides were ready to go like fighting roosters."

"In the dispute between the nobles, Melina is waiting for the opportunity to make the lord value us." Martin has seen a lot in the process of fighting for his lord. The nobles often claim legal rights to other people's land, but in fact they are just greedy desires for other people's territory. However, Martin does not care about these things. He is considering how to regain his freedom from this war.

"I'm leaving, and there are still many things to do." After Melina distributed the food in the basket to the slaves, she turned around and left here. However, just as she walked out of the construction site, Arud happened to come down from the city wall. He saw the slave girl returning to the Saxon house with the food basket. Arud remembered that the slave girl seemed to be Slavs, so he accelerated a few steps and walked up to call the slave girl named Melina.

"Melina, I remember you are also Slavs. Do you know about Slavs in Mecklenburg County?"

"Sorry, Lord Earl, my family comes from the territory of the Byzantine Empire and I don't know the Slavs here." Melina quickly lowered her head and answered honestly to Arod.

"You speak Germanic language very fluently. I thought you were from the Slavs who were adjacent to the Holy Roman Empire." Arod nodded. Most of the slaves in this group could not communicate in words. Fortunately, Melina knew the language of many ethnic groups, which solved the communication problems of slaves. Her language attainments were sometimes more sophisticated than monks. Therefore, when she was free, Arod asked Melina to teach other slaves Germanic languages.

"Is there any other order?" Melina stood respectfully in front of Arude with her head down. Although Arude was a very easy-going lord, she knew her status very well and did not dare to take a step forward. After all, the life of a slave was as light as grass in front of the nobles.

"Sir Earl, have fast horses coming to our city gate. Do we need us to shoot arrows?" At this moment, the voice of archers came from the arrow tower on the city wall. After hearing this, Arod had to climb up the city tower again. Without Arod's order, Melina had to follow him. Arod saw a linen shirt wearing an iron helmet and Slavic costume, a cloak tied behind him, and holding a white flag representing peace in his hand, galloping towards the Rage Lion Castle.

"@#￥%&*." The cavalry shouted loudly to the city wall outside the moat, but they did not understand the Slav's language. The archers looked at Arod and waited for the order. Within this distance, the cavalry was completely exposed to the range, and only Arod ordered the cavalry to be killed on the spot.

"This is a messenger, Lord Arod." At this time, Melina remembered Martin's words, and she quickly translated the words of cavalry to Arod, which probably meant that he represented Kang Tuoyi, the son of the chief of Mecklenburg County, and asked to speak to the owner of the castle.

"Let him come in." Although Arod guessed the identity of the cavalry, with Melina, he could better listen to the messenger's news and use this to judge the will and progress of the Sislavs' war.

Arod received the messenger in the Saxon house. He sat on his chair and looked at the three Slavs in front of him. The Slav messenger led by him was shocked when he entered the castle. He looked at the neat and abundant castle, the tall wall built with wooden boards and soil, and an arrow tower was also built in three directions. Archers could shoot down the invading enemies from above. What made the messenger even more difficult was the natural moat. No matter how many people could not get close to the wall, they could not break through the castle.
