Chapter 31 Refuge

In the early morning of the port of Mecklenburg, the sun had not yet risen from sea level, so the mist still enveloped the entire port. Only when face to face can you see each other's face clearly. However, at this early time, the tax collector of the port Soros, with his subordinates, was waiting at the entrance. Some civilians from the port that got up early were very curious. The several transport ships docked at the port seemed to indicate some military action. The civilians and merchants in the port of Mecklenburg were not unfamiliar with this. When fighting against the Vikings, Aroud used sea transportation to send troops to the islands of the West.

"Sir Soros, which army will Lord Arod send?" The Mecklenburg soldier who helped him manage asked curiously. For a soldier, even the taxpayer who guarded the port like him had been thinking about it since Arod issued the military merit system.

"Grey Rule~~~~." Facing the sound of war horses neighing on the road entering Mecklenburg port, Soros and his hands faced outside, but there was still a fog formed by the water on the sea, and you could only see the shadows of the two rows of trees on the road.

"Are they here? Are they cavalry?" The taxpayer grew up and his eyes were staring at the smoky road. In order to see clearly, he had to squint his eyes. Soros quickly tidied up his Germanic robe and placed his hands in front of him to welcome Aruod's army.

"Get it~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, this, what kind of monster is this." As the sound of approaching approached, Soros saw a knight wearing a bottle-shaped helmet appearing from the mist. His helmet was thick and shiny, and his helmet was decorated with two fin-shaped ornaments. The knight was covered with a white shirt, and even the war horse under his crotch was wearing a white horse suit. Only black crosses were painted on the knight's chest and on both sides of the war horse. The knight was as intimidating as a monster that appeared from another world.

"Get it~~~." Then one such white knight after another appeared in front of Soros and others. They held a long special carriage in their hands, and a pointed shield hung on the other side of the war horse. The shield was painted in a white black cross pattern, and a round-headed and long-handled mace made of pure iron hung around their waists. One of the melee weapons they used in the honorary Teutonic Knights was this terrible blunt weapon. Of course, Teutonic Knights prefer to use swords, such a knightly weapon.

"Soros, are the ships ready?" The knight in the head of the fin-shaped helmet made a muffled sound from the helmet. Soros immediately recognized that this was Arod's brother, Earl Ive, the new ruler of Lauziz County. He hurried forward and lowered his head.

"Oh, dear Count, you're ready." Soros reported to Ifu, who was riding on his horse.

"Very good." Iv let his horse stand beside the road, and twenty-five honorary Teutonic knights lined up in formation and rode into the port of Mecklenburg, and followed them were fifty lord infantry. These lord infantry were wearing only cloak armor and short chain mail vests, but they wore high-top imitation baitite helmets on their heads. In their hands, they held a fine spear and a pointed shield, which was painted with the family badge of Arod, Mecklenburg.

"Sir, where is your destination?" Soros looked at the army he had never seen before and asked Sir If curiously.

"Watgast County." If was very satisfied with the soldiers who had hardly talked to each other during the march. These were the young men he trained.

"But what's going on with this flag?" This was the first time Soros saw the flag behind Iv. This was by no means a herald of Mecklenburg, nor was it a herald of Iv's territory Lauziz.

"This is the flag of the Teutonic Knights." Yifu turned his head and looked at the black cross flag on the white background behind him. The long tail of the flag was fluttering in the wind, and a black ribbon wrapped around the flagpole looked extremely solemn.

"Teutonic Knights?"

In addition to the knights and lord infantry regiments of the Teutonic Knights, Arod also sent them more than 100 new troops from Mecklenburg. These new troops still used the training methods of the German mercenaries. The super-splitting array was their way of fighting. These new troops were wearing only cloth armor and trousers close to their legs, but wearing strong iron helmets on their heads. Their only armor was courage and strength. These new troops came from low-level classes such as civilians and peasants who hoped to gain social status through military merits, as well as wealth and land. Arod's military merit system began to play a role.

"Huhh~~~." Yang Fan set off, and five ships left the port and sailed towards Waterstone. The ship was carrying the aspiring Teutonic Knights and the new Mecklenburg soldiers who were eager for military achievements. Soros stood at the port and watched the departing young men, with a complex expression.

"What's wrong with Lord Soros?" asked the tax servant at the port in curiously.

"Look at their faces." Soros keenly noticed the soldiers who went out to fight. There was neither fear nor confusion on their faces, but an excitement and expectation, which made Soros feel that this was a terrible force.

Just as the Teutonic Knights set out for Watergast, Arod and Princess Josie enjoyed breakfast in their bedroom. The maids put the food on a plate and delivered it to the bedroom. Princess Josie was unable to go to the lord's hall for dinner because of her pregnancy. Arod also accompanied her in the bedroom considerately.

"Oh, I felt his pulse and heartbeat." Arod put his palm on Princess Josie's belly. The birth of life made Arod feel novel. He felt the rhythm of the new life inside, but it made Princess Josie feel very itchy.

"Haha, how do you know it's him rather than her?" Princess Qiaoxi couldn't help but quips to Arude when she saw Arude being so excited.

"Well, both boys and girls are our treasures." Arod said to Princess Josie with a smile. He did not have the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls, but the court officials were very much looking forward to Arod being able to give birth to a boy so that Mecklenburg would have a stable heir.

"But Monk Elvit and the others would definitely hope this is a boy." Princess Josie lay on his side beside Arod. Princess Josie, who grew up in the palace, certainly understood how important a heir is now, and this heir has the noble bloodline of the two families of the noble Hermann family and the Wendell family.

"Yes, who asked me to determine the rule of my country as the inheritance of the eldest son?" Arod stood up and patted Princess Josie's smooth face. He still had many things to do. Being able to accompany his wife for breakfast was the greatest limit. In order to enhance Mecklenburg's strength, he had many things to do.

"Go and invite Mrs. Daphne." When Arod left his bedroom and headed to the Lord's Hall or everywhere in Mecklenburg territory, the bored Princess Josie was tired of chatting and embroidery with her maid. The mistress of Prince Otto, Mrs. Daphne, was quite funny, so when Arod was dealing with government affairs, he invited the Slavic lady.

"It's Your Highness." The maid quickly invited Mrs. Daphne, and Princess Josie didn't want to stay in the bedroom. She surrounded her maids and arrived in the courtyard of Mecklenburg. The morning sun was shining here, the grass with the morning dew and the fragrance of flowers, which made Princess Josie feel a lot more relaxed.

"Your Highness, Princess." When Princess Josie was staring at a blue flower, a woman's voice came from behind her, and Mrs. Daphne saluted Princess Josie gently.

"Madam, you are here, please sit down." Princess Josie's maids brought them wooden benches and soft pads. Mrs. Daphne was still holding her son in her arms. He was curiously looking at Princess Josie from her mother's arms.

"Please allow me to take my son with me, he will never leave me for a moment." Mrs. Daphne sat with Princess Josie. Princess Josie knew that the little boy was Prince Otto's illegitimate son and had noble royal blood.

"Let this noble little guest join our conversation and get some desserts soaked in honey." Princess Josie didn't care about the little boy's noise. On the contrary, her motherhood gave the two mothers a common topic at this time.

In the palace, Mrs. Daphne also enjoyed this peaceful life rarely. When Prince Otto sent her and his children to Mecklenburg on the edge, the noble lady of Slav believed that this was Prince Otto's betrayal of herself. She fought hard to win back Prince Otto's heart, but facing the expectations of the power and bird catcher Henry, Prince Otto had to make sacrifices.

"If you can only choose one between family and kingdom, you should know that I will choose that?" Prince Otto said to the noble lady who was originally in love with Daphne, looking at Daphne with her back to him.

"Is that true? If that's the case, what does all this mean? My son will become an illegitimate son who will never see the light of day, and my ancestors' faith will be humiliated." Daphne turned around angrily and said to Prince Otto.
