Two hundred and eleventh day brothers meet
Arod got the manpower of Knuba from Grace to mobilize more than a thousand people. Although it was a bit unfair to treat a girl by drinking wine, Arod didn't care much about it at the moment of crisis. After obtaining this accurate information, Arod was not careless because the opponent had fewer troops than his own. You should know that these more than a thousand people were real soldiers, not peasant soy sauce party recruited by the German nobles, and the Viking warriors' fighting method of facing death. If they faced each other, they might shock the Masons and led to failure. There might not be a big victory for many people.
The next day, when the drunk Grace woke up from her sleep and recalled her conversation with Arod in the lord's hall, she couldn't help but feel very upset. Only then did she realize that Arod invited her to drink to get the information of the Danish King Knuba. She was angry and immediately went to Arod's lord's kitchen and ate several ham viciously in revenge Arod's deception.
"Dendon~~~." Just as Grace was fighting with food, the sound of horse hooves came from outside Mecklenburg Castle. A knight in plate armor led several duke guards outside the castle.
"Who is it?" the castle guard immediately stepped forward and asked.
"It's me, your monarch's brother Ifu." When the knight opened his mask, he said to the castle guardians.
"Oh, it's Lord Yifu, please come in." The guards saw Yifu's face under the mask, immediately opened the city gate and lowered the suspension bridge, and introduced the count's brother into the castle. Soon several servants led their mounts into the earl's stables in the castle, and there were special horse children who carefully used wheat to take care of the horses.
"Brother, where are you, my brother?" Yifu walked into the castle tower excitedly. He walked into the spacious lord's hall. A generous voice echoed in the hall. He looked around at his brother's castle, and couldn't help but be shocked. How did Arod attack the castle built with solid stones unscathed? This question appeared in his heart.
"Yifu, my brother, why are you here so soon?" As soon as Yifu entered the castle, he heard the report of his personal servant. He immediately dressed neatly and got down from the stairs. He saw his burly brother in military uniform, and immediately opened his arms to meet him. The two brothers hugged each other for a while before they separated.
"Ah, Lord Duke asked me to come here first to report to you. Our army will arrive in three days. Prepare a clearing outside your castle. God is a great war. Tell me about the northerners. I heard that you have beaten them up." Yifu said with interest. The elder brother of Arud was a militant and seemed to feel uncomfortable if he didn't fight.
"Don't worry, the servant asked the kitchen to prepare some food and wine, and we'll talk while eating." Aruod took Yifu to sit at a wide dining table on the left side of the hall. Soon the chefs brought the bacon, fruit, cheese, smoked fish and honey wine, but there was no ham that they usually eat, which made Aruod a little strange.
"Oh, my brother, look at you, a great lord, haha." Yifu praised Arud's achievements. These rich foods were enough to make him feel extravagant. However, Yifu stepped forward with his hands without hesitation and stuffed the food in his mouth. You must know that he was sleeping in the open along the way and had never encountered any hotels. Although he passed by the manors of several barons, he did not go in to disturb him because he was in a hurry. He could only light a bonfire in the forest to eat a few hares.
"Don't be polite, there are still many things. In order to entertain the Duke, the Earls and the nobles, I have plundered the entire territory." Aruod said with exaggerated lifting his hands.
"Ha, stop exaggerating, your territory is the richest in this neighborhood, Christ Jesus, I really hope that my mother and father will divide me half of such a good head." Yifu said vaguely while eating, but these words were not jealousy and resentment.
"What a pity, my father can't come to attend the wedding." Aruod said with some regret.
"Yes, there seems to be a typhoid epidemic in Mason County recently. The Duke ordered his father to send someone to provide disaster relief, so he really couldn't share it. However, his mother and the others will come together, but it may not be able to catch up with your wedding." Yifu said to Aroud.
"Oh, is there any danger that this far away?" Aruod asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, there should be no problem with a team of soldiers from Lida Fort." Yifu soon ate the food on the plate like a wind and clouds. After he finished eating, he patted his hands and said to Aruod.
"That's good. Our family should also reunite and let our mother and Josephine live here for more days. I will send many servants to take care of them. Also, our sister Lena has grown taller?" Aruod thought of the little sister who likes to pester her toys, and couldn't help but smile knowingly. Every time I see this sister who looks like a doll, Aruod always holds her high.
"That little naughty really made Josephine and the others trouble." When talking about their common little sister, Yifu laughed and never saw such energetic little loli. He always chased chickens and ducks in Lida Castle, or pulled the grape rack down, which made people laugh and cry.
"Haha, I'm looking forward to them a little." Aruod said with a loud laugh.
"Are you free?" Just as the Wendell brothers reminisced about the past, Monk Elvit hurried in. He saw Arod's personal servant Harren standing at the door, and asked in a low voice.
"The Earl is talking to his brother. Why is there anything urgent?" Harren asked curiously.
"There is an urgent matter." Monk Elvit said anxiously.
Just as Arod was chatting with Iv, the personal servant Harun walked to him and bent down to report to Arod that monk Elvit had something important to see. Arod raised his head and saw monk Elvit standing at the door, bent down to Arod respectfully and owed his body. It seemed that there was indeed something important to Arod.
"My brother, if you still need to ask Harren to get it for you, your guest room will be cleaned up. Let's have a breakfast break and we will have dinner together in the evening." Arod stood up and said to Ifu.
"Okay, go ahead and go your own brother." Yifu knew that Aruod had control of a county and must have many important things to do, so he waved his hand indifferently.
"The Count is not good, the Viking warriors' ships are coming to our territory." When Arod walked to the door, Monk Elvit walked to him and reported to Arod.
"What? What's going on?" Aruod was shocked when he heard this. He did not expect that the Danish king could not hold back and would be dispatched so quickly. You must know that Duke Ebul's army would be able to arrive at this time.
"Yes, the Viking warriors' fleet is crossing the Ore Strait, what should we do?" Monk Elvit's voice was shaking. When he thought of the hideous Viking warriors' faces, who wouldn't be afraid?
"How many ships do they have?" Aruod frowned, but said in a very calm tone. He knew that the more he could not panic, otherwise his morale would be greatly reduced if he saw it.
"Above thirty Viking warships." Monk Elvit swallowed, making his dry throat moisturized a little, then he said.
"I understand, prepare horses immediately. I want to go to the port and order the ships in the port to enter a state of combat. We must not allow these Viking warriors to land in Mecklenburg." Arod said with his teeth and wide eyes.
"What happened to Arud?" At this time, Yifu also noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he stood up and strode over and asked.
"The Viking warships are coming towards us. I must go to the port to stay with my fleet." Arod said as he walked out of the castle. His personal servants hurriedly led the horses and took Arod's armor out of the bedroom. At this time, there was no time to wear the armor, so they could only put the armor on the backs of the horses and carry it to the port to wear it on Arod in their spare time.
"Let me go with you." Yifu said loudly, following closely behind Arod, and the knights of the inner palace, Ron and others were also ordered. Suddenly, the noise of the castle was filled with noise, the sound of armor rubbing, the neighing of war horses, and the sound of people talking.
