The war between the Principal of Mason and Denmark was not stopped due to the friendly transaction between the soldiers on both sides. In order to weaken the Danes' strength, Arod ordered the fleet in Mecklenburg to attack the Danes' port, and sent an envoy to Ms. Marty's court, asking her to send soldiers on board and attack the island of Zeland. This request made Marty a little embarrassed. In her court, the Slavic nobles made three completely different suggestions. A group of nobles believed that this war with the Vikings was a good opportunity for the Slavs to enter the Christian civilized state,

After their monarch Marty, who vowed allegiance, was baptized as a Christian, they immediately entered into Christian civilization or continued to maintain traditional civilization. Most of the nobles who agreed and actively converted to Christianity were alliances between small and medium aristocrats and the aristocrats who followed Julian from Mecklenburg. The Slavic leaders who were more powerful in the Marty court were controlled by the economic and military sources of the entire territory. Of course, there was also a faction that was on the fence. Most of these nobles were forces outside the center of power and adopted a wait-and-see attitude.

In this era, nobles were not just a title or honor. The so-called nobles were actually big families that controlled a certain economic or military aspect in society. On the territory of a county, the earls or dukes summoned these nobles who had economic or military advantages in society, and powerful nobles who had strong nobles into their courts or controlled or used them to achieve rule. The nobles also took this opportunity to enter the center of power. Single nobles were unable to fight against the lord, but sometimes when local nobles were threatened, they would also unite. However, this union was only because interests were temporarily combined, so they generally did not last long, unless they were families with in-laws.

"Dear Ms. Marty, my monarch, the legal ruler of Mecklenburg, Lord Arod, asks you to send troops to attack the Danes' Zeland islands." When Arod's messenger entered Marty's castle, and stood in the hall of the lord, the invitation of Arod to Marty, who was sitting in the wooden chair.

"Please bring back my greetings and blessings to Count Arod." Marty wore a headdress made of pearls, a Slavic long skirt, and many exquisite accessories, just like a graceful and luxurious Slavic noble girl, but under her seat was a sheathed sword, which meant that she was the lord who held the responsibility of military power to protect the territory. Although Marty had converted to Christianity, there were still many traces of pagans in her court. If it were not placed on the wooden table on the left, the iron cross table presented by Arod, I am afraid that those Lomva wooden reliefs would make people visiting this place think that this was still the pagan court.

"I will bring you back your greetings to the Earl, but I would like to give me a clear reply. The Earl is leading an army of eight thousand soldiers with Duke Mason to resist the brutal and greedy Danes. The Viking warriors who have long attacked the Baltic coast will be eliminated. As the Christian ruler, Ms. Marty, you can join this grand occasion. This is a good thing to fight the pagans to spread the glory of the Lord." The messenger advised Marty, and in this sentence, he valued both temptation and threat.

"Eight thousand soldiers?" Marty frowned. Although she was baptized in order to use the power of the Principality of Mason in the process of fighting against Billis, the religious and cultural customs that a person has received since childhood are unlikely to change at once. To dispatch troops for Arod to abduct will definitely cause a rebound among the nobles.

"My lord, I oppose the dispatch of soldiers to join this meaningless war." At this time, a Slavic nobleman standing on the right side of Marty's seat stood up. He held the sword on his waist with his hand, and he reached out to lift the Slavic shawl on his left shoulder, and a loud voice rang out in the hall.

"What is your reason for opposition to Chief Jerome?" Marty looked at the Slavic nobleman. Chief Jerome led a tribe specializing in making weapons. When fighting against the invasion of Billis' army, he also led the warriors of his own tribe to fight for Marty. It can be said that the Chief Jerome had an important force in Marty's court.

"The Vikings' invasion against us is what individual pirates say. The Danes did not launch a war against us, nor did they celebrate any holiday with us. This is completely a war between the Principality of Mason and the Danes. It is unwise to consume the army elsewhere when we are about to deal with the threat of another uncle of yours." The leader of Zerom held the hilt of his sword and lowered his head slightly to Marty, then raised his head and said.

"No." As soon as the leader of Zerom finished speaking, Julian stood up from the nobles on the left and said.

"Hmph." The leader of Zerom looked at the Germanic nobleman and immediately showed a look of dissatisfaction on his face. Julian did not come to Marty's court alone. Some squire and nobles from Mecklenburg County also followed him. They brought some more advanced forging and farming techniques in Mecklenburg. Although they were emerging forces, they developed rapidly with the support of Arod, which seriously threatened the position of the leader of Zerom.

"Sir Julian, do you have any good advice?" Seeing Julian walk out and bow gracefully to Marty according to German customs. Marty's eyes softened. She stretched out her right arm and said to Julian.

"Dear lords, there may be nobles who think I am a Germanic noble, so I will speak for my former monarch, the Earl of Mecklenburg, but I will swear to the glory of God and the knights. Now I am the court minister of Ms. Marty, and I will take the interests of Ms. Marty first, see the world with her eyes, and act with the commands issued by her lips." Julian knew that there were too many hostile nobles in this court, so he first expressed his loyalty.

"Sir Julian's oath is more like a ** than a loyalty." Chief Jerome laughed sarcastically, and a low laugh sounded in the lord's hall. Even Lord Marty's cheeks were slightly rosy, but she knew her lord's lord's duties, so she signaled Julian to continue speaking.

"The frequent occurrence of soldiers from Kantuoyi on our border, and at least dozens of small-scale conflicts occurred in a week, which shows that Kantuoyi is brewing an aggressive war against us. He believes that he has more legal dominance over the county than Ms. Marty. I want to ask if we rely solely on our own strength to stop Kantuoyi's army invasion. There is news that in the past, the leaders of the Mecklenburg emirates were gathering under his banner." Julian said to the Slavic nobles in the hall.

"Strangely speaking, Kang Tuoyi is a Slavic hero, and he will not attack us for no reason." Chief Jerome shook his head rudely, saying in disbelief.

"Who can guarantee that Kang Tuoyi personally made a promise to Chief Jerome?" Julian immediately grabbed Chief Jerome's grammatical disease and asked.

"I, I just guessed that my lord will believe in my loyalty." Chief Jerome blushed when asked. If that was it, wouldn't it mean that he bypassed the lord Marty and conspired with Kang Tuoyi. This embarrassing situation made the nobles of Julian's camp in the hall laugh.

"The loyalty of the leader Zerom is undoubtedly." Marty quickly comforted the leader Zerom.

"I just suggest strengthening the alliance with the Principality of Mason or the Earl of Mecklenburg, so that we will get support when we encounter trouble, not to mention that now the Danes are fighting with the Principality of Mason, we only need a small force to obtain land, wealth and slaves. Isn't this a good opportunity to increase our strength?" Julian explained, who also used the skills of threat and temptation.

"Buzz~~~~." As soon as Julian finished speaking, a buzzing conversation came out in the lord's hall. The nobles whispered each other fiercely. Julian's words moved these nobles. Seeing that the nobles were about to be persuaded, the leader of Zerom stood up in a rage.

"I will never waste the life of the warriors on helping the pagans." The leader of Zerom did not wait for Marty to stay and turned around and strode away from the lord's hall. Many Slavic nobles followed him when they saw Zerom's departure. They only bowed to Marty when they left before leaving.

"Pagan?" Hearing and seeing the current scene, the messenger sent by Arod was stunned. He originally thought things would go smoothly, but he did not expect such a noble division to happen. Seeing most powerful nobles leave, Marty had no choice but to disband the court meeting.

"Although Ms. Marty converted to the Holy Church, there is a century-old religious tradition of Lomwa, and it is impossible to change it at once." Julian explained to the envoy.

"Mr. Julian, what should I do if this is the case?" the messenger said worriedly.

"I will find a way to complete the tasks assigned by the Count." Julian swore to the messenger, knowing that Arod sent him to Ms. Marty's court was given the task of contacting and winning over the Slavs.

The next morning, when Marty was washing with the help of the maid, putting on clothes and accessories, a servant came over and whispered a few words in the ear of Marty's maid. Marty saw from the corner of her eyes that the servant was serving Julian. Why did he run here early in the morning and not serving his master, so he looked at his maid.

"Oh, master, Lord Julian took out of the castle in his armor and rode his horse early in the morning." The maid quickly reported to Marty.

"What? Did he leave alone?" Marty's brow frowned and she asked to Julian's servant.
