When night fell on the earth, the only obvious thing in this land dominated by wastelands and forests was the castle towering above the hills, Mecklenburg Castle. This historic castle controlled this narrow territory along the Baltic coast. A long time ago, the Franks lived here and built manors and villages. But soon after, the terrible Nordics went south and continued to attack this territory. Although the Franks built castles to resist invasion, they had to give up the territory in the end. Subsequently, Mecklenburg County was occupied by the Sislavs and became the territory of the Slavs who believed in the Lomva religion.

But today, Arod, who was born in the German Knight family, defeated the Slavs and took this historic castle as his own. The torch in the castle was lit, illuminating the entire castle like stars in the night sky. In the hall of the lords in the main tower of the castle, candles made of beeswax were lit on the wooden table, illuminating the entire hall like daytime. The nobles and officers drank the trophy honey wine they obtained. After several days of life-and-death battle, this was the best part of the war.

"It's really a luxury to use so many candles." Aruod looked at the candles that were lit in large numbers and felt that he seemed to be in a dream. Maybe he wouldn't be moved even if he used candles as firewood in his previous life. But not long ago, Mrs. Eva of the Wendell family had to sell her beloved pottery for praying. This gap between the rich and the poor was really huge. No wonder the aristocrats in the Middle Ages were so keen on war. War was equivalent to victory. If they won, they could get the wealth accumulated by others as spoils. This spirit of adventure has always been passed down in the Western thinking mode.

"To our wise leader, Count Arod, the legal ruler of Mecklenburg County." Julian shouted with a red face, lifting the wine glass in his hand. He stood up and knocked the table and chair next to him to make a sound.

"To our noble and invincible Count." Everyone stood up, and the noise of wooden chairs and table legs rubbing against the ground in the hall. Looking at the crowd of subordinates, Aruod raised his glass in a good mood, but as the master and the most noble person, he just needed to sit and accept everyone's congratulations.

"I didn't expect that I actually took down this castle." The Knight Cult sat on Arod's left hand. As a church knight of the St. Johnem Monks' Association, he was now sent to become a member of Arod's court by the monks' elders. However, when Arod attacked Mecklenburg Castle, he was sent to the road between the temple of Lifichen and the castle without participating in the siege. Although he had a powerful knight's order, he had no achievements at all. Therefore, sitting on Arod's left hand caused dissatisfaction among many people.

If Knight Xiu was sitting on the left hand of Arude, it was because Arude considered that Knight Xiu saved his life in the Angry Lion Castle, then Shirley, who was sitting on the right hand of Arude, made the others confused. Shirley was a priest of the former leader of Mecklenburg, which is the so-called captive. Why was a captive arranged by Arude in the closest position? Not only was Arude's men confused, but even Shirley herself was very confused. Looking at the gaze below made her feel uncomfortable.

"It's a pity that there would be a minstrel. Today's victory will be enough to spread throughout the kingdoms." Julian said with some regret at the banquet.

However, Julian's regret did not last long. The heroes in the hall were all in the army and they had their own entertainment methods. The mercenaries first ate and drank enough and then started a gambling game as usual. A circle of people sat around a wooden table. Two mercenaries rolled up their sleeves and exposed their strong arms. The people around them held wine glasses and talked about who would win the final victory. And a man who could trust among the mercenaries started the farm.

"Sir, this is really indecent." The Knight Cult frowned. As a nobleman and who vowed to serve God for life, of course he could not stand the vulgar behavior of the mercenaries at the noble banquets. The noble culture of the noble and vulgar culture of the common people was completely unable to adapt.

"Xu, you are too old-fashioned. Maybe it's because I was born in a low-ranking aristocratic family. In order to fulfill the military service of the monarch, my mother had to sell her favorite pottery. My father was worried about money all day and lived in debt, so I had never seen a real aristocratic banquet. The only time I attended was in the court of Duke Mason, and that time my brother If almost gave his life." Arod took a sip of wine, a low-ranking country aristocrat like the Wendell family. Of course, the great nobles who did not understand the show-off and jealousy in the banquet, and the so-called elegance, but the popular banquet at this time was in line with his stomach.

"Well, it's me who was willing to do something for the Count." Knight Xiu quickly apologized to Arud. It was a very lack of knightly behavior to criticize him at the host's banquet. Xiu felt that he had some kind of gap with the Count.

"Don't care, Xiu, I'm just feeling it. Look, Julian and Johnberg are over. Should they bet who will win?" Arod seemed to be unwilling to this. He pointed at the ongoing arm wrestling competition. In this hall, all the people in the military were rugged. They drank delicious wine and ate food in big mouthfuls. The noise almost overturned the roof of the tower.

The banquet continued, but at this time, Arod wore a cloak and walked out of the hot hall. He walked in the Mecklenburg Castle. The night wind blew across the surface with the salty smell of sea water. The soldiers who did not attend the banquet were sitting around the bonfire in the castle to keep warm. When they saw Arod wore a cloak coming, they stood up and bowed to the ruler of Mecklenburg Castle.

"Don't care, have you eaten it?" Aruod rubbed his hands and greeted the soldiers casually. When he looked at the empty plates and some food residues placed beside the soldiers, he nodded with satisfaction. It was his order that the people standing guard did not allow alcohol to drink, so he provided sufficient food for the soldiers.

No one appeared on the muddy and cold streets of the castle except for the occasional patrol soldiers. Arod walked on this narrow street alone with a sharp sword. This castle built with stone is very solid and solid. The tall stone walls protect the entire castle. Arod reached out to touch the cold and solid wall. He raised his head to look at the Silver Moon hanging on the corner tower. Who would have thought that an otaku actually owned a medieval castle, but was he really strong enough to protect this castle? Thinking of this, Arod's mind appeared in Dean Robert's mind, Earl Lauzits' sinister smile, and the plot of the three wild boar brothers in the Mason Town Hotel, but these are not as urgent as how to rule this county where the Slavs lived for generations.

"Come out, I know it's you." Arude suddenly turned around, but his hand was not placed on the hilt of his waist, but just hanging on both sides of his body casually. If he followed Arude sneakily at this time, he would definitely be an attempt to be unfavorable to him. Arude was not an inscrutable person, but he did not act as a defensive warning.

"Crack." As Arud finished speaking, a man in a gray cloak came out of the shadow of an abandoned stable. His face was not visible because of his cloak. But Arud seemed to know this man, and he smiled and looked at the stalker who walked into the moonlight.

"You saved me in the dungeon, Harvey." Aruod looked at the stalker in front of him, but he revealed her identity in a word. When the stalker in a cloak took off his hood, he showed a beautiful face, which was indeed the blood dagger Harvey.

"Oh, how do you know it's me?" Harvey looked at Arod, dressed in fur cloak, in the moonlight, the Count who had just won seemed to be full of confidence. His face looked like a superior majesty, and the silver moonlight shone on the young earl, causing Harvey to be slightly distracted.

"I checked the flying knife and asked the blacksmiths who followed the army. They said that the flying knife's craftsmanship came from the town of Masonburg. You know that the blacksmith guild in every town has its own unique mark. Recently, I came here from the town of Masonburg. Only you and Oun could not do such a thing. Then you, the beautiful Harvey, have this ability, so I want to thank you for saving my life." Arod told the information he analyzed and thanked Harvey.

"Haha, don't thank me. Actually, the target of the flying knife was you, my Count." Harvey laughed. She admired Aruod's ability in her heart, but she still couldn't help but want to hit the proud face.

"Me?" Aruod looked at Harvey with some confusion. This woman with a hot body as big as a cat was really unpredictable.

"There are only two people in this world who have forced me to kiss me." Harvey stretched out his left hand, raised two slender fingers, stared at Arod with beautiful eyes and said.

"oh?"

"And I once swear that no one can survive after bullying me, so the first person to force me is dead. Do I need to continue to explain?" Harvey said as he walked slowly towards Arod. She stretched out her hand and held Arod's right shoulder. The distance between the two was already close.

"So what changed your mind and saved my life? Not to mention accidents." Aruod sniffed the breath of this woman like a beast. I don't know why this feeling of wandering on the edge of danger made a strange feeling in his heart, and the soft kiss had a bloody and salty smell that impressed him and was deeply savored.

"Haha, what changed my mind?" Harvey did not answer Arude's words, and she seemed to be in deep thought. When she followed Arude into the dungeon, she hid behind the wooden door. When she took out the flying knife with her carry on and aimed at Arude's heart, she only needed to swing her hand and hit her every move, which would definitely cost Arude's life.
