The bird catcher Henry jumped off his war horse. He wore a crown on his helmet on his head and was wearing a scale made of iron pieces. When he jumped off the war horse, the scales made a sound. The king who ruled the entire East Frank Kingdom strode towards Duke Mason and his vassals who had been waiting for him. On the banquet venue built with colorful tents in the open space, there were already many delicious dishes on the wooden table, as if it was not a battlefield but in the palace. The Duke of Eble even found several minstrels, who were respectfully waiting with his instruments.

"Your Majesty." Seeing Henry, the bird catcher coming, Duke Eble stepped forward and knelt on one knee, holding the king's hand and kissing his ring. This ring was the item when the Duke was loyal to the king. Kissing the ring means not forgetting his oath.

"Hello my closest friend." Henry, the bird catcher, laughed and helped Duke Eble up. The young duke dared to attack the territory of the Viking warriors, which was known for his courage. This courage deserves Henry's respect.

"First of all, thank you for your support. My Majesty, my vassals and I are extremely grateful. Please allow me to introduce all the nobles who fought bravely here." Duke Eblem said modestly, and the nobles of the Principal of Mason bent down to salute the king.

"Okay, but before that I will introduce my son, my heir, Otto, to you." Henry waved his hand and asked Duke Eble not to be busy introducing it, but instead waved to him behind him. The crown prince, Prince Otto, walked out of the escort behind him.

"God may bless you, my dear brothers." Prince Otto walked up. He was wearing a short-shirt and chain mail, wearing a Saxon royal cloak, and a sharp sword around his waist. His chin was smooth and beardless, his hair was draped over his shoulders, but his ends were curled and his face was as sharp as a knife. Arod, who stood among the nobles of the Principal of Mason, looked at the prince, but he didn't expect that he had become heroic for a few years.

"Hello, Your Highness. May my Lord bless your rights." The nobles of the Principal of Mason also blessed. But they nodded slightly and did not bow and bow. Although Prince Otto was the future king of the crown prince, there was no need for the nobles to flatter them too much before becoming king. At this time, the Germanic nobles did not have the hypocritical habits of the nobles in later generations.

When the music started, Duke Eble led the king and Prince Otto into the tent. Henry, the bird catcher, sat in the main position, while Duke Eble, as the host, sat on his right hand, and Prince Otto, the crown prince, sat on the left hand of the king. The bards began to play music, and the servants kept bringing fresh food. The nobles raised their glasses to enjoy the wine. Henry, the bird catcher, was a little surprised. He originally thought that the Principality of Mason was a marginal country and it must be very difficult to fight with the Viking warriors, but he did not expect that there would be such sufficient supplies on the battlefield, and the camp of the Principality of Mason was also in order.

"My friend, tell me how you fought in this battle?" Henry asked Duke Eble with his golden crown holding the wine glass.

"It's very hard for my Majesty." Duke Eble replied to the king. It is true that the Viking warriors are tough opponents, not to mention that they are fighting on the enemy's territory. If Aruod had not controlled the shipping, supply would have been a problem. Mecklenburg's food and supplies were continuously sent to the camp through the sea.

"But Lord Duke, I see that your soldiers are not depressed at all." Prince Otto said something at this time, and he put a piece of soft bread into his mouth. The bread was not worse than the Wang family's bakery, and it was even more unique.

"It's all thanks to the Earl of Mecklenburg. If he hadn't brought food from his territory, we wouldn't have lasted so long." Earl of Weimar sat in the second position on the side of his right hand. He swallowed a ham and blurted out as he listened to the wonderful harp of the bard.

"Oh, are all your supplies provided by the Earl of Mecklenburg?" King Henry turned his head and looked at Arod, who was sitting in the third position of his right hand. Arod quickly put down the cup in his hand, stood up and bowed to Henry.

"Yes, your Majesty, this is closest to my territory, so I will provide the most convenient." Arod replied to the king's question.

"As far as I know, this place is also a distance from Mecklenburg County. You may encounter bandits and robbers on the way. Do you come in time?" Prince Otto asked curiously.

"The Earl of Mecklenburg has a fleet, and they will set out from the port of Mecklenburg to send food through the sea." Earl of Thuringian touched his beard and said to His Highness the Prince.

"Does the Vikings ignore it from the sea? They are a group of experienced pirates." Henry, the bird catcher, was even more surprised. Vikings were famous pirates. None of the Europas were more familiar with how to use the sea and water flow. The Vikings who were driving the narrow Viking battlefield were elusive. Henry did not want to destroy these pirates. But whenever he got his territory was attacked, the Vikings would retreat to the ship and escape, but if he had not gathered his soldiers, the abominable Vikings would rage in the territory, but they were never far from the coast or river bank, too far from their ships.

"His Majesty our respected king, before we set out to fight against Schlei Suggag, the Earl of Mecklenburg defeated the Vikings at sea and wiped out many Danes." Earl of Thuringian said based on the facts.

"Oh, is this true? It's the first time I've heard that someone can deal with those Vikings at sea." Hearing this, the bird catcher Henry's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise.

"Yes, I heard that the Count used a warship that could spit fire on the sea to burn the Vikings. Damn pagans are really the right way to die." Earl Plaun's cheeks were red with excitement. Young people always admired heroes. To him, Arod was undoubtedly an amazing hero. He was always able to do things that others could not do.

"Fire-breathing warship?" Prince Otto looked at Arod meaningfully. The Earl of Mecklenburg always had fresh things popping up, which brought Prince Otto unexpectedly again and again.

"Is this true?" King Henry asked.

"This is just a lucky fire attack, my majesty." Aruod didn't want people to know the secret weapon in his hand, but he didn't know what to do. The fact that he defeated the Viking warriors at sea was spread, and even a bard made up a story.

"Earl Mecklenburg, you did the fire in the Viking camp a few days ago, and there is no need to hide it from His Majesty the King." Duke Eble said encouraged Arod.

"Yes, that's a new weapon I made, called a big crossbow, which can shoot burning rockets into the enemy's camp." Aruod had no need to hide this. After all, Sir Ron was called a brave man, and thousands of people could not deny it.

"Oh, is that? I remember you once made a weapon that can throw stones, called, ~~~." King Heng scratched his forehead with his fingers, frowned and thought carefully, but he couldn't remember the name at once.

"Tornado, Father." Prince Otto added immediately.

"That's right, whirlwind, oh my god, Count Mecklenburg, I have to say that you are a very smart young man, and my royal advisers say that only those at the master level can think of that kind of weapon." King Henry praised Arod.

"This is just what I see from the books left over from the family, what a pity," Arod said to King Henry.

"But that knowledge is still in your mind, isn't it? Father, wouldn't it be very useful to the kingdom if the Count of Mecklenburg could write down that knowledge." Prince Otto said immediately.

"That's right, if you are willing to write down the knowledge and offer it to me, I, the king of the Eastern Frank Kingdom, the monarch of the Romans, and the heir of Charlemagne, you will definitely give you land and wealth." At Prince Otto's reminder, King Henry made generous promises to Arod. When he heard the promises of the king, the nobles in the tent all calmed down. They all looked at Arod and looked at Henry, the bird-catcher, and did not understand why the king valued Arod's knowledge so much.

"Thank you very much for your majesty. But when I was still very young when I read those books, I was only interested in the pictures in the books, and I didn't know any of the Latin words in them, so I didn't remember them deeply. Later, the whirlwind cannons were drawn based on the pictures, and the craftsmen could figure them out, which was not something I could do myself." Of course, Aruod would not hand over those big killers to Henry, the bird catcher, so he used the excuse that he forgot to push them. Moreover, he was not interested in the land that was intertwined among the East Frank nobles. The general enclaves were really difficult to manage, but rather he was not as affordable as he eroded the land of the Sislavs little by little.

"Is that so? This is really a pity." King Henry slammed his mouth and shook his head and said regretfully. When the Mason nobles saw that Arod had rejected such a good opportunity, they all felt regretful for him.

"Um." But when Arod sat down and continued to drink, Prince Otto stared at him with shrewd eyes. Prince Otto didn't believe that Arod had forgotten everything. How could Arod, who could defeat many powerful enemies, not remember the knowledge that helped him win? Prince Otto knew that everything in the world was valuable. It seemed that his father's bid did not satisfy Arod. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
