Section 60 Carrier Pigeon

After receiving the news that the temple was looted, Kang Tuoyi was furious. If he was still hiding in the castle at this time, not to mention that the nobles and ordinary believers would not forgive him, Kang Tuoyi immediately ordered the soldiers in the castle to gather together. Apart from the old and weak and injured soldiers, he selected a total of 2,500 capable soldiers, and then led the army to the direction of the temple in a mighty manner. However, Kang Tuoyi knew that Aruod would definitely not stay there. He was a little anxious when he rode on the horse because he really couldn't capture the cavalry of Mecklenburg. These cavalry were like weasels in a cave, and they would emerge from somewhere. What's even more strange was that they knew very well about the terrain of Watergast.

"It must be Billis who is helping them." Kang Tuoyi quickly thought about the joints. After thinking it through, he couldn't help but hesitate when he was moving forward. Although he knew very well that only one person could survive with Billis, he felt a little guilty when facing Billis.

"What did you say, Lord Kang Tuoyi?" Chief Calvin asked curiously. Their positions were only one horse's body apart. The road that had just rained was muddy. However, in order to eliminate the enemy as soon as possible, they did not bring heavy baggage chariots, otherwise they would not know how the carriage would fall into this bad road.

"No, nothing, send horse-dressed soldiers to investigate more in front and be careful of the Mecklenburg ambush." ​​Kang Tuoyi's thoughts were interrupted by the leader Calvin. He took a deep breath to adjust his mindset. Now he was carrying the great cause of revival of the Mecklenburg emirate and the happiness of Mrs. Angeliya on his shoulders. Other things cannot be distracted by him.

The 2,500 soldiers led by Kang Tuoyi finally arrived at the temple after a long time. However, in addition to seeing the mess of the temple being looted and the unextinguished flames that had risen, they were the bodies of the Slavs on the ground. It turned out that the noble priests were nailed to the cross erected at the door, and they seemed to be in great pain before their death.

"These damn pagans, they blasphemed our temple." All the Slavs who saw this scene were angry. They were so angry that they were trembling. If the Mecklenburg people appeared before them, they would definitely fight with their lives immediately.

"It was Billis who brought these vicious pagans." Kang Tuoyi glanced at the miserable face of the temple. He kicked the war horse under his crotch with his heel, walked to the soldiers, and said loudly to them.

"Buzz~~~." After hearing Kang Tuoyi's words, a sound like a beehive sound rang out in the army. After all, Billis was once the lord of Watergast County. Although these soldiers are now resisting Billis under the leadership of the nobles, they have always been in a weak position psychologically. You must know that people in this era pay more attention to tradition and bloodline.

"That's right. In order to regain his power, Billis did not hesitate to collude with the pagans. Now this is their masterpiece. We spit on them and spit on Billis. He is not worthy of his blood." The leader Calvin immediately understood Kang Tuoyi's meaning. He took off his helmet and waved it in his hand, and said excitedly. Finally, he spitted hard on the ground, indicating his spit on Billis.

"We spit on him. Bah." After hearing the words of the two leaders and the tragic situation of the temple in front of them, the tribal belonging and religious sentiment of the Slavic soldiers were mobilized. They hated Billis, who colluded with outsiders. At this time, there was no hesitation in their hearts and cursed and spitted the original majestic and inviolable Lord Billis.

"Yeah." Kang Tuoyi nodded with satisfaction. The tragic situation in the temple is irreversible, but turning this passive situation into enhancing the morale of the soldiers is truly a wonderful step.

The javes sent by Arod saw the army walking on the muddy Watergastshire trail from afar and immediately reported to Arod, who was hiding in the hilly areas. Arod knew very well that the 100 cavalry units he had fallen could not directly confront the army of more than 2,000 people. He immediately led the cavalry around Arod, taking a zigzag route toward the border of Willle. Their speed was a little slow, after all, each horse was carrying a large amount of jewelry and gold.

If someone looks down at the earth from the air, they will find that there are four armies advancing along the Baltic coast at this time. Among them, the cavalry units led by Arod were the fastest, and they were moving closer to Werle. The 2,500 men led by Kang Tuoyi were wandering near the temple, but soon got Arod's whereabouts from the villagers and travelers who fled everywhere, and then advanced towards Werle, while the new army from Mecklenburg marched straight towards Werle Fort east.

But the most bizarre and strange thing is the largest army, the five thousand troops from the Great Emirates of Pomerania. They first entered the Brandenburg territory. Such a huge army made the Duke of Brandenburg nervous. The duke, who had just been appointed by the bird trap, immediately shrank his troops into the solid castle. The villagers from all over the country immediately hid in the castle near Brandenburg, and abandoned the villages and hid in the forest.

"Send our fastest horse to Ada to report to the king and tell his Majesty the Pomeranians invaded our territory." The Duke of Brandenburg, who was worried, said to his men, but was stopped by his palace.

"My Duke, we have not received any news of the Pomeranians going to war with us, nor have His Majesty the King's orders to go to war. Perhaps this army is just a transit."

"Transfer?" asked the Duke of Brandenburg in surprise.

"That's right, it is said that the Earl of Mecklenburg and the Slavs fought hard in the north. The Pomeranians formed an alliance with the Slavs. They must have crossed the border to attack Mecklenburg." The old Gong Xiang accurately judged the Pomeranians' attempts, and he explained to the duke.

"It would be great if it was just a transit. We had just built a castle, and many places were not yet perfect. If we were attacked by this army, we would definitely have no body." Brandenburg was taken away by the royal family from the Slavs not long ago. Birdcatcher Henry handed over this very important territory to Lutherwood I.

"Do we want to give the Earl of Mecklenburg a message to tell him the movements of the Pomeranians?" Lao Gongxiang knew that his monarch would never give up on this fertile land. It can be foreseen that as long as he manages it well, this land will become the cornerstone of the family.

"No, we should not do extra things, just let them pass quietly, we should not do anything." Ludwood I, Duke of Brandenburg, raised his finger and ordered the palace minister that he had no social relationship with the Earl of Mecklenburg. There was no need to offend the Pomeranians for the Earl of Mecklenburg, not to mention that the Mecklenburgers would not last long under such a large army offensive.

The Duke of Brandenburg stayed in his castle and did nothing, but a small caravan that was hiding from the war in the castle was closely watching the vast Pomeranians. The leader of the caravan looked at the vast army that was deserted. They did not look like troops passing through the border, but like tribes relocating. However, since the Roman Empire, these barbarians have moved like dominoes to the original Roman Empire.

"Are there any carrier pigeons?" The caravan leader asked his companions around him.

"There is one more." The merchants usually wear hoods to protect the sun and shelter the wind. He walked to a truck in the caravan and lifted a covered piece of dirty and thick linen. In addition to some messy cargo, there was also a cage with a cooing pigeon inside the cage. The pigeons did not attract people's attention. Usually, merchants would travel long distances and sometimes bring some live poultry as fresh meat.

"Okay, we must report the situation to Mecklenburg." The merchant leader quickly turned his back and hurriedly wrote some symbols on a thick linen strip. Then he rolled the strips up and stuffed them into the iron ring on the legs of the pigeon.

"Let it fly at night." In order not to attract the attention of the guards in Brandenburg, they decided to release the carrier pigeons at night. Although Brandenburg belongs to the Germanic group, there may not be a harmonious relationship between the various principalities. Once caught as a spy, they will definitely be locked in the dungeon or even executed without hesitation.

At night, the Brandenburg guards who had been alert for a day were yawning, holding the long halberd in their hands against the cold wall of the arrow tower. When sleepiness hit, the guard's head became heavier and heavier. His eyelids were closed unknowingly, but a fluttering sound sounded, causing the alert Brandenburg guards to raise their heads in a daze, but he found nothing at the window of the arrow tower.

"That's fine. I hope Mecklenburg can be prepared." The leader of the caravan leaned against the wall. He was a member of the Blood Drops of Mecklenburg. In fact, they did do business between Mecklenburg and the southern countries. The funds were also secretly supported by Arod, the Earl of Mecklenburg. They mainly purchased black stones for Mecklenburg and sold specialties, but in addition to doing business, they also provided information for Mecklenburg. There were a total of three such caravans.

The warning from the blood droplets was soon received by Mecklenburg. They can be said to be very lucky. Generally, at least three carrier pigeons must be released at the same time to provide such important information, because they are afraid that any carrier pigeons will be preyed by birds of prey or get lost. Therefore, if they release three at the same time, they can try to increase the chance of the carrier pigeons delivering information.

"Ping Ping Ping Ping Ping~~~." Footsteps sounded in the lord's hall. When Arod was not in Mecklenburg, Princess Josie, his wife, would assume the lord's responsibility. However, because Princess Josie was pregnant, this responsibility would not be heavy. It was just a routine ceremony. The specific affairs would be handed over to the left-behind court officials.

"What happened?" Palace Prime Minister Ervit was reporting to Princess Josie about the new population in the territory. He heard the rapid footsteps echoing in the hall and frowned. Monk Ervit was originally sent by Arod to Rauziz County to help Iv manage the territory, but because the war was rekindled, he was summoned to preside over the palace.

"Mr. Gong Xiang, Your Highness the Princess is not good. The Pomeranians are leading an army of 5,000 people to pounce on Mecklenburg." The pigeon breeder in charge of receiving the carrier pigeon intelligence said angrily.

"What?" The courtiers in the hall were panicked. At this time, Mecklenburg's army had set out for Werle Fort, and Arod was not in the castle. Earl Ive led the Teutonic Knights to fight in Watergast. It can be said that the nobles who could bear the heavy responsibility of Mecklenburg were not there, and most of the people who were left were monks Elvit and civil servants like Soros.

"How many soldiers do we have left behind now?" Princess Josie sat on the throne with her big belly. Although she was also very surprised that the Pomeranians would suddenly lead a large army to attack Mecklenburg, Princess Josie, who has lived in the palace since childhood, knew that as a ruler, she would never panic at this time. She tried her best to suppress the panic in her heart, put her two slender arms on the handrail of the throne, leaned forward as slightly, and asked the palace minister Elvit.

"Oh, Princess, we now have only seventy-five halberd soldiers in the Mecklenburg guard room, but the baojia soldiers established by the Earl in the village outside the castle can summon one hundred people, and there is no more troops." Monk Elvit stretched out his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he said with his lips trembling.

"Are one hundred and seventy-five soldiers?" Princess Josie's beautiful eyebrows also frowned slightly, and her fists couldn't help but clenched. The number of 175 soldiers was too different from the five thousand Malanians.

"Hiss~~~." The court officials in the hall found it extremely difficult, but no one could do it. The soldiers could not be transformed by magic.

"Old men, my husband, your monarch, Lord Arod Wendel, Earl of Mecklenburg, before leaving, handing over this castle to us to guard, and we must unite to protect our home." Princess Josie stood up with difficulty, and her big belly was erect, which made her lose balance, but the close maid standing behind the princess hurriedly supported her.

"It's Your Highness, we will do our best to defend Mecklenburg." The court officials saw the strong expression of the beautiful princess and the powerful voice. A ray of sunlight happened to shine in from the skylight above. The light was shining on Princess Josie's body. The white long skirt shone with a glimmer that could not be seen directly. Several doves cooed and landed on the skylight, and white wings flapped a few feathers. (To be continued...)
