Amid the roar of Arod, the archers on the arrow tower did not dare to hesitate. The arrows flew like locusts to the farmers who gathered in front of the castle to cause riots. Among these farmers were light infantry who participated in the war. They hurriedly avoided the arrows that were shot through the air. The arrows that made a sound of whizzing through the air knocked down the farmers who were unable to hide. Suddenly, the farmers who gathered in front of the castle dispersed and faced the strong Mecklenburg Castle, they did not have the courage to attack without the leadership of the nobles.

"The nobles were all captured by the pagan Count, otherwise we would encircle the castle and let them put the elders back." The peasants gathered in the village. In fact, in order to win over the hearts of the Slavs, Arod reduced their taxes, but these Slavs who believed in the Lomva religion did not feel close to Arod, and the differences in religion and culture were not replaced by some favors.

"Yes, without nobles, we will no one who can command wars. We will definitely not beat that damn pagan."

"But war is also a very simple thing. As long as there are enough people, the pagan count will definitely be afraid. We can go to other villages to find more people who are dissatisfied with the rule of pagans. In addition to saving the elders, the nobles who were locked in the castle, and they also rescued them together." Some peasants who acted as light infantry said carelessly. In their opinion, fighting war means gathering enough people, and then waving their weapons in their hands to defeat the opponent.

"But that pagan count defeated Kang Tuoyi. Are we his opponents? I don't want to be hung by the roadside." But there were also timid farmers.

"Kang Tuoyi just went to ask for help but haven't come back yet. Let's do it. Let's call more people and surround the castle. Let the damn pagans know that we are not easy to mess with."

The peasants in the villages near Mecklenburg Castle were running and conveying the news of the uprising to other villages. Of course, in order to make people hate the Germans and Arod during the spread, these people created rumors that the Germans urinated in the holy temple of Lomwa and acted in the villages of the Slavs who believed in Lomwa. The Slavs, who did not distinguish the truth, believed it. Originally, the Slavs were a martial and combative nation, and then the flames of a raging rebellion were ignited in Mecklenburg County. Rebels holding pitchforks and wooden sticks were everywhere.

"Damn guys, you dare to rebel against my rule." Aruod did not expect that his completely good intentions would cause rebellion in the territory. In order to prevent the rebellion, he locked all the Slavic nobles in the dungeon, but a peasant riot still occurred.

"Sir, what should we do? The rebel peasants are everywhere, how should we deal with it." Julian sent the javelin cavalry to inquire. But there were excited Slav rebels everywhere in the countryside, and these people totaled 300.

"What are the trends in the town of Visma?" Arod rubbed his hands and paced in the lord's hall. He blamed his innovation was too radical, which led to the outbreak of rebellion. No, Arod thought about it carefully and felt that the Slavs had accumulated dissatisfaction with him, the pagan count, but only used the excuse of this incident. Now Arod only hoped that the town of Visma would not join the rebels.

"The chamber of commerce and citizen representatives of the town of Wisma said that they were completely on the side of the Earl. Please rest assured that those citizens did not believe the rumors of mud legs. However, in the Chamber of Commerce president, the citizens learned in the Angry Lion Castle that their children were not only not abused, but instead received the education and care of monks. As the merchant class, their ability and willingness to accept new things far exceed that of the conservative farmers." Julian told Aroud the news feedback from Wisma Town.

"That's good. We need the soldiers and financial resources of the town of Visma, so that we can suppress the rebellion." Arod breathed a sigh of relief. In addition to defending the castle, there were about 75 soldiers. Although they were elite soldiers, they were far fewer than rebels in number. Then there was only one way to hire mercenaries who specialized in fighting, and Arod's financial resources were enough to hire soldiers who fought for money.

"So, Count, are we going to hire mercenaries again?" Julian said helplessly to Arod. The mercenaries are not all honest and trustworthy soldiers like the Swiss. Once these mercenaries are summoned to Mecklenburg County, if they cannot meet their requirements, they may become the cause of chaos.

"No, there is no need. I don't plan to hire mercenaries, the seventy-five warriors in the castle and the medium infantry provided by the town of Visma, we have a combined force of more than one hundred." Arod shook his head, and he wanted to use his own strength to eliminate the rebels and prove to everyone that he has the ability to control the entire county.

"But, we are not as large as the rebels in terms of numbers." Julian said in confusion.

"I have my own way. I will send you to the town of Visma and bring all the horses there back to the castle. You must act carefully and not disturb the rebels." Aroud knew that the rebels had no noble leaders, and their connection and organization would take some time, and this time just gave him a chance to lead the army to eliminate the ungrateful rebels.

"Yes, I'll go now." Julian clenched his fists and pounded his chest, and said to Arod. After that, he took a few javelin cavalry out of the castle and headed towards the town of Visma.

"Monk, order the craftsmen in the castle to speed up the creation of spears." Arod said to the monk in the hall.

"Yes, Count, they have stepped up their work, but what are you doing to make so many spears?" the monk asked curiously.

"Ride on horseback." Aruod explained expressionlessly. He hadn't been on the battlefield in person for a long time. He had excess flesh on both thighs. Don't forget that he still has the title of knight.

"But Lord Earl, that kind of spear is longer than an ordinary horse spear. Can it be used?" The monk was very puzzled by the spear that Arod asked for a special spear. It seemed that among the kingdoms, there was no knight or heavy cavalry who used this kind of spear that had a half more than an ordinary spear. Wouldn't it be easier to break in charge?

"This kind of special spear has been used in the Balkans. I installed iron ring reinforcement in the middle of the spear, so there is no need to worry about breaking." Aruod had thought of these problems for a long time, and even Oun stopped training his sword and specially started to strengthen this iron ring. The spear tips made at the smelting base were also the first job. The additional staff worked day and night. Fortunately, the rebels were afraid of Aruod's reputation for defeating Kang Tuoyi and did not launch an attack immediately. However, as more and more Slavs joined, the war seemed to be about to break out.

"Mr. Arod, please let me act as an envoy to stop the priests. If it were me, I would definitely convince them to give up the rebellion." After Arod arranged everything, he collapsed tiredly on his seat. At this moment, a woman's voice sounded. Arod raised his eyelids and saw the priestess Shirley standing in front of him.

"Ms. Shirley, those are rough rebels and criminals. Do you think you can convince them to give up resistance and accept legal sanctions?" Aruod's smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This woman's innocence and innocence were really comparable to the goddess. He shook his head and rejected this impossible proposal.

"But I believe they did not intend to launch a riot, those people were very simple." Shirley tried her best to convince Aruod. She had seen enough bloody wars and the tears of the crying orphans and widows. She advocated nature and did not understand how terrible human greed desires are.

"It's too late. Once a rebellion occurs, those people have lost their minds. I have no other way except to suppress the rebellion." Aruod stood up, walked to Shirley a few steps, and said loudly to her.

"I, I." Shirley looked at the young count with such a tender face but aggressive momentum. His chest was fluctuating violently, and the smell of male hormones rushed into her nose, forcing her to turn her face.

"Well?"

"Then I'll say goodbye first." Shirley quickly turned around, covered her face and left the lord's hall, and trotted back to her room.

"What's wrong with her?" Aruod raised his arm and sniffed his body. Because he had been working for several days and nights to deal with the rebellion of the territory, he had no time to clean it. This made him smell a strong smell of sweat, and even after he smelled it, he felt a sniff. "Damn it, servant, prepare me a bath water."

Many people thought that people in the Middle Ages did not take baths, even including the nobles, but in fact this is a completely misunderstanding. Many archaeological capitals of excavations of buildings in the early Middle Ages showed that there were public baths in castles and towns, which shows that the bathing tradition passed down from the Romans was very popular among the nobles at least. However, in the era of the great plague in the middle and late Middle Ages, public baths became a channel for the spread of plague, which led to people gradually refusing to take baths because they feared that taking baths would cause infection.
