Section 58 Suspected Soldiers

Aruod looked at the closed city gate. In the woods of the castle, the knights of the inner palace were waiting patiently. The horses under their crotch kept quiet with wooden sticks in their mouths, and their hooves were holding thick linens. There were all kinds of noises in the village that was lit not far away, but it seemed as quiet as two worlds.↗

"Let's leave, those Slavs will not come out." Arod looked up at the sky. Watergast Castle, which was originally turbulent under the moonlight, became quiet again. You could still hear the scolding of the Slavic nobles after listening carefully.

"Sir, don't you wait any longer?" Knight Victor said softly to Arod.

"No need, they seem to have seen through our plan, it's so damn." Aruod muttered in a low voice and rode back on the horse. When the knights of the inner palace saw Aruod riding a horse and were ready to leave, they had to follow him closely.

"Sir Earl, we have almost burned the enemy's territory. What should we do now?" Sir Victor Duncan was originally a wandering knight, but later received warm hospitality from Arod in Mecklenburg, so he stayed among Arod's inner-domestic knights to serve Arod.

"Apart from those villages, aren't there any temples of the Lomva Cult? Let's go there." Arod turned his head and looked at the torches lit on the walls of Watergast Castle. The tightly defended castle was not so easy to take down. Although it was a bit regretful, Arod would not let these Slavs calm down.

"It's the Earl." Sir Victor Duncan picked up the helmet hanging behind the saddle and put it on his head again. For him, as long as there is a war, it's enough.

The cavalry of Mecklenburg blew across the land of Watergast like the wind. This time, the loss was not only the village, but the temples surrounded by tall walls. The temples that worship the gods of the Lomva were gathered with many property worshipped by believers. However, these temples were as difficult to attack like small fortresses.

"Arrowers are on guard, beware that the enemy is coming." On the gatehouse of the temple, the temple guards gathered with bows and arrows. They saw a cavalry unit appearing in front of the temple. These cavalry did not rush to attack the temple, but instead surrounded the temple on the periphery.

"Do.Do." After the German cavalry jumped off their horses, they took out their axes and other tools and began to cut down the oak trees outside the temple. The temple guards were not sure what they wanted to do, so they could only watch the cavalry work.

"What exactly do these Germans want to do?" The guards guarding the temple stretched their necks curiously, but they could not see them, which increased their curiosity.

"Preserve your posts, and the gods will send all these pagans into a land that will never be restored." The temple priests walked back and forth, encouraging their soldiers and cursing the pagans, but they were panicked. You should know that the temple was the place that believers respect the most. There were no defensive measures on weekdays, and the troops they could provide were very limited. What's more, their monarch Kamtaoyi also took away most of the soldiers. As a result, there were only dozens of soldiers guarding the huge temple. They just hoped that the pagans who cut down the sacred oak trees would be punished by God.

"Sir, we must speed up, otherwise the people of Watergast Castle will find out." Sir Victor Duncan was surprised at Arod's courage. The night before, Arod was still attacking the castle of Watergast, with thousands of troops huddled in the castle. But now he is leading the cavalry to attack the temple. If Kang Tuoyi of Watergast Castle finds out, he will probably lead his troops to rescue immediately.

"Don't worry, I left the Javelin cavalry outside the castle, they dared not leave the city for the time being, but I agree with the idea of ​​conquering the temple immediately." Arod looked at the soldiers who cut down the trees. He wanted to make some rough but effective weapons to attack the temple, and barely cut off the branches of the tree branches and tied them with the thick linen rope collected from the looting village, and then covered them with the slaughtered sheepskin.

On the walls of Watergast Fort, Contoy and the leader Calvin looked outside, and saw a lot of dust rising from the originally calm clearings. The neighing of horses and the shouting of soldiers, and the dust spread out covered their sight, but in the dust, there were vague cavalry passing through it, as if a large army was stationed outside the castle.

"Master Kang Tuoyi, we should send an army to test the number of enemies." After observing for a long time, Chief Calvin finally couldn't help but say.

"But what if it's a trap?" Kang Tuoyi said with some worries.

"Then we won't lose much," said Chief Calvin.

"Then go. Once you find something wrong, let the soldiers run to both sides, the gate of the castle will be closed." Kang Tuoyi nodded in agreement with this suggestion. In order to avoid being rushed into the city by the enemy, the gate of the castle will be strictly guarded and was at a disadvantage in the repeated wars with Aruod. Kang Tuoyi was psychologically suspicious.

"It's no problem." After the leader of Calvin saluted Kang Tuoyi, he turned around and walked down the city wall. He wanted to find some brave volunteers and walk out of the castle to take a look.

"Kakka." The gate of the castle was opened, and the leader of Calvin personally led a group of more than 100 soldiers out of the castle. However, although Calvin kept urging, the Slavic soldiers hesitated.

The timid army led by Chief Calvin took a long time to reach the village outside the castle. To their surprise, there was neither fierce fighting nor other army. This made Chief Calvin wonder what the dust was like.

"Chief, look at the war horses of the Mecklenburg people?" A peasant soldier reached out and saw the javelin cavalry coming out of the woods. They unexpectedly did not attack the Slavs with the javelins in their hands. However, the Slav soldiers from Watergastburg saw that the tails of each javelin cavalry were tied with branches, so that when they ran, the branches would rise up dust like sweeping the floor.
