Duke Eble once again found himself surrounded, but this time it was his sister-in-law's army. Arod defeated the joint army of Mason nobles of Earl Lauziz, and did not stay for long before he rushed to Mason Castle. No one knew what he wanted to do? But when an army of more than a thousand people appeared under the castle, before Arod's true intention was judged, the wooden suspension bridge on the moat rose under the iron gate of the castle.⊥

"What happened?" Duke Eble climbed onto the solid battlements. He looked at Aruod's army, which had just won the battle. Even the soldiers were full of murderous intent. They held their weapons in their hands and lined up in neat rows. At first glance, it seemed like there was no boundaries. Of course, this was just an illusion that could not be defeated.

"It was Arod, who defeated the army of Count Lauziz." Baron Bruce said with a lonely expression. Just now a group of Mercedes-Benzers passed by the castle and threw the Count Lauziz's flag under the castle. This was a demonstration or just a propaganda of victory, which confused the nobles in Mason Castle.

"Then this is a victory. Why don't we open the city gate and let my sister-in-law come in?" Duke Eble looked at Arod, who was surrounded by the army below, and asked his courtiers. In fact, he recognized his sister-in-law Arod more than the Earl of Lauzits of the same clan.

"No, my Duke, they are leading an army. We are not sure if these soldiers will be red after the bloody massacre?" Baron Bruce stopped Duke Eble. They knew very well that Arod would not let him go. The best way at this time was to stay in the castle.

"What are your suggestions?" Duke Eble looked very haggard. When he learned that Lida Fort was captured and Baron Wendell's head was inserted into the wooden stake at the gate of Earl Lauzits' camp, the duke had insomnia all night. He always dreamed that the ghosts of the Wendell family were entangled in his dreams.

"Do nothing, wait for these people to leave my Duke on their own." Baron Bruce said to Duke Eble.

"Is this the decision of all the courtiers?" Duke Eble stared at his swollen eyes. There was still eye booze in the corners of his eyes, and the breath from his mouth was filled with a strong smell of wine, and his originally handsome face also became sloppy.

"Yes, Lord Duke." Baron Bruce said quickly.

"Then close the city gates, just like we treat Count Lauziz. Anyway, we are all a group of cursed cowards." Duke Eble murmured to himself. His courage and intelligence had long been destroyed by fear and nightmare, and most of the courtiers around him were to protect themselves nobles like Baron Bruce.

"Arod, it seems they are not going to open the city gate." Harvey looked at the closed city gate, and she rode side by side with Arod, watching everything that appeared on the city wall.

"Hmph, the catapult is ready." Arod sneered contemptuously. He turned around and reached out his left hand and ordered behind. When capturing Count Lauziz's camp, they captured Count Lauziz's catapult, and this large catapult weapon now threatened Mason Castle again.

"Crack, creak~~~." Several soldiers pushed the catapult cart that made a creaking sound. When the catapult appeared, the people on the Mason Castle changed their faces when they saw the catapult cart appear. Mason Castle does not have particularly strong city walls, and the stones thrown by the catapult cart will destroy the walls within half a day. They don't know whether they can hold on to the castle.

"Earl Mecklenburg, what are you doing?" Baron Bruce held his hand on the solid and cold wall. He poked his head out and shouted at Arod, but Arod ignored him at all.

"Start." Arod just gently spit out this word. He heard a loud noise from the ejection, and a huge stone was ejected towards the walls of Mason Castle.

"Boom~~~." The stones hit the wall. The people standing on the wall of Mason Castle only felt the wall shake. Although the wall of Mason Castle resisted this catapult attack, no one knew whether the wall could withstand the next attack.

"Is he crazy? He didn't even have the conditions for negotiation. He started a random war." Baron Bruce leaned against the wall and screamed in fear. Even Duke Eble was held down by the Duke's guards beside him and hid in the arrow tower. No one knew when those terrible big rocks would hit them.

"Sir, we must negotiate with the Earl of Mecklenburg." The knights around Duke Eble suggested to him that although they were confident that they could defend Mason Castle, why should they bleed and sacrificed in vain? The knights and the guards of the castle knew very well about the tragic experience of the Wendell family. They might not want to get involved in the filth between the nobles, but they always had sympathy.

"Negotiation, oh, we should negotiate, but who would like to go?" Duke Eble also realized that if Arod was allowed to attack the castle, then Mason Castle would be broken sooner or later. Now there is only one way to negotiate. After all, Arod and Duke Eble are in-laws and there is no direct conflict between them.

Just as Arod's catapult was about to fire the second stone bomb, the iron fence of Mason Castle made a sound of the iron lock hinge being pulled up, and the wooden suspension bridge was also put down and placed on the moat. Arod saw the gate of Mason Castle open, and a priest riding a pack horse walked out with a cross, but looking at his trembling appearance, anyone could tell that this was a messenger for peace.

"Dear Earl of Mecklenburg, under the witness of the Lord, why do you, who are both Christians, attack the castle of the Duke of Ebul, whom you are loyal to?" The priest who was pushed out held the cross in his hand and held a white handkerchief symbolizing peace in the other hand. Religious clergy played a very important role in the war and dispute between Christians.

"My family has been ruthlessly massacred. I want to capture the accomplice of Earl Lauziz who hides in Mason Castle, and also ask Duke Eble if he supports this bloody massacre of my family?" Arod said to the priest with a serious expression.

"There is absolutely no such thing. The respected Duke was also attacked by Count Lauziz, so how could he become his accomplice?" The priest quickly denied it and said the situation of the day surrounded by Count Lauziz. After hearing the priest's words, Aruod's expression calmed down a little.

"Since the Duke did not object to the Wendell family, please allow me to enter Mason Castle and talk to the Duke in person." Arod put forward his own conditions. After hearing this, the priest nodded repeatedly. He asked Arod to rest assured that he hurriedly rode his horse back to Mason Castle and told Arod's conditions to the Duke Eble and the courtiers.

"Arod is my sister-in-law. His family has been punished with such a regrettable crime. We should welcome them in like welcoming guests and set up a banquet in Mason Castle." Duke Eble said with guilt.

"No, what if the Earl of Mecklenburg vented his family's miserable experience on us?" Baron Bruce shook his head and disagreed. His words resonated with other court officials, and no one wanted his wealth and life to be in danger.

"Don't worry, after Count Lauziz surrounded my castle, I have sent people to the territory of the three counts and asked them to bring troops to come. I believe that Arod would not risk fighting with the three vassals." Duke Eble waved his hand and said to his courtiers.

"For safety reasons, we need to add a few additional conditions, Lord Duke."

When the priest came to Arod with the conditions of the courtiers, Arod's generals were furious. These courtiers who were urging their tongues like snakes actually asked Arod not to bring the army into the castle or to harm the nobles in the castle. These conditions were as if they were the victors.

"It's so shameless." Andrew, deputy commander of the German Mercenary Corps, said angrily, but Arod did not show any intense emotions. He patiently listened to the conditions proposed by the priest.

"I understand. I will bring my courtiers and the knights of the inner palace into the castle, and promise not to face any noble swords in the Mason Castle." Aruod rode on the war horse and wore armor. He had not completely wiped the blood on his armor. The cloak behind him was still broken, and the smell of death was emitted all over his body. The priest didn't even dare to show his vigor in front of Aruod.

"Crack~~~." The gate of Mason Castle was finally opened. Arod led Harvey and other court officials and twelve inner-domestic knights to slowly walk in on horseback. Mecklenburg's army was stationed outside the castle, and there was also a baggage carriage, which seemed to contain Arod's luggage and other items.

"Arod. My sister-in-law, my friend." When Arrod and others walked into the castle, Duke Eble was already waiting at the door. He was wearing the duke's gorgeous robe and smiled at Arrod with his arms wide open.

"Duke." Aruod's originally calm face moved the corners of his mouth as if he was smiling. He got off his war horse and was still wearing a full set of armor. The armor made a rustling sound, which contrasted sharply with the gorgeous robe on Duke Ebul's body, as if he was a person in two worlds.

"Mr. Mecklenburg, we have prepared a banquet in the tower. You can relax and enjoy joy under the blessing of the Lord." Baron Bruce stood humbly behind Duke Eble and said to Arod.

"Yes Arod, take off your armor. I will ask the court tailor Duncan Alphreid to prepare the best clothes for you, enough to match your strong figure." Duke Eblet held Arod's back with his hand and said enthusiastically to Arod as he walked.
