Section 54 Influence
John Berg had no choice but to return to his army and ordered the German mercenary group to station. Some captains suggested that John Berg attack the territory in impatiently so that these arrogant and rude local lords knew the authority of the Earl of Mecklenburg. However, John Berg denied this suggestion. Although this small fortress was not big, it was enough to entangle the mercenary group based on its terrain. It would take a long siege to attack a fortress, which would not be completed in one or two months. So was it what Arod wanted to waste precious troops and sacrificed under a fortress of a local lord?
"We must contact the Earl, send the fastest jave cavalry of the horse, bypass this territory and go to Mason County, and tell the Earl about the situation here. We must not act rashly until the Earl's orders arrive." Johnberg handed the flag to the flag-holder and announced loudly to his subordinates.
The Javelin Cavalry prepared three horses for the messenger so that he could change horses back and forth, and the speed would be faster on the way. When the German mercenaries were stationed, Baron Marcus did not do anything, as if he was fulfilling his promise. As long as he did not attempt to pass through his territory, he would not care what the mercenaries did.
Three days later, the exhausted Javelin Cavalry met Arod and reported the truth about the incident. Arod was shocked when he learned about this situation. His only reliable army was blocked from Baron Marcus's territory. Without the help of the German mercenaries, how could he fight against the Bohemian attack? He was extremely anxious and immediately set off to find the Regent Earl Earl Eble.
"Earl Emblem. Please immediately let Baron Marcus release my army in the name of Duke Mason." Arod said to Emblem Emblem in a furious manner.
"Don't worry, Arud. Tell me slowly what's going on?" Earl Earl Eble was handling the documents at hand. Bohemian attacks were becoming more and more frequent. The vassals and nobles from all over the country were frightened. Petition letters asking for help and asking when the Duke's army could expel the Bohemians flew like snowflakes.
"Baron Marcus will not let my army pass through the stone bridge of his territory." Arod told the story to Earl Eble. Listening to Arod's statement, Earl Eble's brow frowned.
"This is a troublesome thing. Although Baron Marcus is my father's minister, it is not his family territory. Even if the vassal has various obligations to the vassal, the vassal must ensure the sacredness and inviolability of his territory. I cannot force him." Earl Earl shook his head and said that there is nothing he can do about it.
"Then just watch my army be blocked. I can wait, but the Bohemians won't wait." Arod said with some angriness.
"Don't be angry with my friends, I cannot order the lords. But I can influence them." Earl Eblet thought of the petition letters of the nobles, if he could not guarantee enough power to expel the Bohemia, then in the next Cardinal noble parliament, Eblet might be questioned by the nobles whether he had the conditions to inherit the title of duke, which would be a very troublesome thing for Eblet.
"How to affect?" Aruod asked back.
"This requires a medium, my dear friend." Earl Emble seemed very experienced in dealing with such things. He was the real person of this era, and knew how to use the relationship between nobles to influence and achieve his own goals.
"What are you going to do?"
"Dylan Matt." Earl Emble shouted at his servant. After obtaining the name, the servant ran out immediately. After a moment, a man was brought to them.
Arod looked at the nobleman who was walking towards them with difficulty, his high bulge of back and staggering steps. After walking a few steps, Arod did not understand why Earl Eble was going to bring the poor nobleman.
"The noble Regent Earl Earl Earl Earl Earl, the noble Palace Prime Minister." After finally walking to them, Dylan Matt bowed deeply, but his waist was already low enough, and now he bent down and almost touched the tip of his shoes.
"Dylan Matt, as far as I know, you have a kinship with Baron Marcus, is that right?" Earl Emble nodded slightly, and then said to Dylan Matt.
"Yes, the Baron and my dead father are connected." Dylan Matt replied humbly.
"That's great, that's it. I have an errand to need your help." Earl Eble said happily.
"Serving you is my supreme glory." Dylan Matt quickly replied.
"The army of our respected Lord Chancellor was rejected when passing through Baron Marcus's territory. I need you to convince Baron Marcus that Lord Mason needs this army to help us resist the invasion of the Bohemians. This is a very important task." Earl Earl Emble explained to Dylan Matt.
"Of course, I am willing to take on this glorious task, but I need to figure out one thing." Dylan Matt turned his face to Arod, who was the palace prime minister. At this time, Arod looked at the hunchbacked nobleman carefully. His terrible body made people ignore his bright eyes, and in fact, Dylan Matt has this pretty face. If he hadn't straightened his waist, he would have been welcomed by the ladies.
"Please say, as long as I know." Arod nodded to Dylan Mate and replied.
"Baron Marcus may be a irritable nobleman, but he is definitely not a man who is indifferent to right and wrong. There must be a reason for him to do this." Dylan Matt said slowly, but it made Arod and Embler Embler stunned. This was a problem they did not pay attention to. Arod just wanted to pull his damn army down Mason County, while Embler Embler just wanted to deal with the Bohemians and the noble parliament. They both ignored some things.
"I don't know what causes Baron Marcus' hostility, but I need you to help me solve this problem and let Baron Marcus release my army. Can we trust you?" Arod said to Dylan's horse hoof.
"Of course, I can do it." Dylan Matt looked at Arod for a moment, but soon bent down and bowed again, and took on the task.
"Great, then I will send someone to Baron Marcus to send you, hoping that everything will go well." Earl Emble breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered his servant to arrange a carriage and horse, and sent this courtier who was originally least valued to Baron Marcus's territory.
