The eighty-fifth messenger
The outer walls of Mecklenburg were full of traces of attack. Although the walls made by Arod used by the slab building method were also solid, the walls made of wood and earth were not as good as stone walls. A section of the walls began to deform under the continuous impact and attacks of the Pomeranians. However, the indomitable guardians of Mecklenburg demolished the houses and topped the wood on the tenacious pagans and continued to fight.
"We can't hold on for long. When will the reinforcements be able to return?" Harvey looked at the bodies accumulated under the city wall with blood on his face. A foul stinking permeated near the city wall. The battle between the two sides continued and fierce, so there was no time to clean up the bones of the dead of each.
"Well, don't say such despicable words. It would be bad if the soldiers heard it." Princess Josie frowned slightly, and she felt increasingly uncomfortable. The fierce environment on the battlefield affected her physical and mental health, but the soldiers could only feel at ease when they saw this tenacious hostess.
"Of course I know that this place is really stinking. Princess Princess, you should go back to the main tower first." Harvey said, covering her nose. On the wall, Princess Josie insisted on guarding next to the holy locker, and Harvey guarded Princess Josie, and killed the enemies who climbed up the city wall and attempted to attack the princess and the holy locker several times.
"No, I will stick here." Princess Josie barely sat on a wooden chair brought by the maids. Although later generations believed that the medieval ladies were hiding in the tower and waiting for the knights to rescue, in fact, in history, when Germanic women protected the castle, they would personally stand on the front line to fight or support the men. When fighting against the enemy, they were no less than men.
"Get it out~~~." Suddenly they heard the sound of horse hooves outside the city wall. Harvey walked to the wall and saw several Pomeranians holding flags. They rode on horses without any weapons on them.
"Stop, and shoot you to death after further steps." Harvey shouted loudly at the Pomeranians who were trying to approach. The Mecklenburg crossbowers on the arrow tower immediately pulled the crossbow and hit the crossbow arrow, and a creaking sound suddenly sounded on the city wall.
"Please do not shoot arrows, we are the messengers of the Great Chief of Pomerania. Please meet your chief." Walking in front of the horse, a man dressed in a Pomeranian nobleman wearing a fur hat and a cloak stretched out his palm and shouted at the crossbowmen who stretched out the arrow holes and battlements on the walls.
"Um." Harvey retracted his head, and she glanced at Princess Josie sitting in the arrow tower, and Princess Josie nodded to her.
"Boom~~~." The wooden suspension bridge was put down and crossed over the deep trenches. The envoys of the Great Chief of Pomeranian rode their horses and slowly walked into Mecklenburg. The Mecklenburg soldiers holding long halberds on both sides of the city gate looked at them vigilantly. If there was any abnormal movement, they would kill them and pull them onto the wooden suspension bridge. However, these Pomeranians were quite honest.
"Come with us." Monk Elvitt wore a small chain mail. He covered a monk's robe and a necklace that symbolized his palace identity. He led these Pomeranian messengers to a ladder to an arrow tower.
In the arrow tower, Princess Josie sat upright on a wooden chair. Behind her was a black lion flag with fangs and claws hanging. Beside her was the spiritual pillar of the Mecklenburg people. Dozens of attendants, led by Harlen, were fully armed guards on both sides. They held the hilt of swords and glared at the Pomeranians walking in.
"Dear Mecklenburg, I am the monarch of the great Pomeranians and the messenger sent by the great chief." As soon as the Pomeranian nobleman walked in and saw Princess Josie sitting upright, he took off his hat and expressed his respect to the tenacious noble woman.
"I am the wife of the Earl of Mecklenburg. The sister of Duke Mason, Princess Josie of the Principality of Mason. Now let the messenger tell you what you want." Princess Josie said to the messenger without being humble or arrogant.
"The Chief hopes that we can send some servile servants to take away the bodies of the warriors who died on the battlefield for burial." The envoy suggested to Princess Josie.
"Are you buried the corpse?" Princess Josie looked at Monk Elvit, Harvey and others with her eyes. She was unsure of how to respond to the envoy's request. Even the pagans should be buried as humans in Princess Josie's heart, rather than abandoning the corpse at the foot of the city wall, not to mention that the terrible smells permeated inside and outside the city wall made her feel uncomfortable.
"I think I should accept this proposal." Monk Elvit said to Princess Josie after thinking about it.
"No, these damn pagans who attacked us should let them corpses in the wilderness and let the jackals eat their bodies, bah." The young and energetic Harren said angrily. Several of his friends were killed while defending the city walls, and this hatred made him hate these Pomeranians.
"I also agree to let them pull the bodies away. But I have to leave a few to throw them away on the walls so that they can understand the consequences of attacking us." Harvey also expressed her own suggestions. Her method is a compromise. The stench emitted by the corpses is indeed terrible, not to mention that Harvey, who was born in the lower class, knew that these rotten corpses would cause various diseases.
"I trust the spy leader's proposal, Harvey will do what you said." Princess Josie tried her best to show a natural expression and said to the messenger as if nothing had happened.
When the messengers walked out of the arrow tower, one of them had a strange hairstyle covered his stomach, sweating heavily, as if he was very painful. Looking at his appearance, Monk Elvit couldn't help but frown and asked him what was going on? Although Monk Elvit didn't care about the life or death of a hateful Pomeranian, if there was a problem with the messenger at this time, I'm afraid the Grand Chief Pomeranian would take the opportunity to attack.
"My stomach is very uncomfortable. I must have eaten it there. I want to find a place to defecate." The man who shaved the head around his head brightly and left a cluster of brown hair on the top of his head said in pain.
"Go and take him to pour the cesspool, but you must keep a close eye on him. Your eyes cannot leave him for a moment." Monk Elvit immediately said to the two Mecklenburg soldiers beside him.
"It's the Lord of the Palace." Two Mecklenburg soldiers held the long halberd in their hands and took the Pomeranian to the cesspool with a serious expression. In Mecklenburg, Arod built five cesspools for people to excrete in the castle town, and arranged for special personnel to clean them regularly.
There is a cesspool built with bricks near the city wall. The reason for building a cesspool under the city wall is to put the feces and urine into the tongs pot when necessary, and then the craftsmen heat the tongs pot and pour it onto the city wall to overturn the enemy, which has achieved the effect of killing and killing the enemy. However, what surprised the envoy was that the cesspool was clean and tidy, because usually the era from nobles to slaves was solved everywhere. The famous holy city of Rome was called a large cesspool, and it was really rare to build a house-like cesspool. When the envoy finished the convenience, there was no abnormal movement. He followed the soldiers out of the city gate obediently.
"How can you see clearly?" As the messenger with strange hair walked out, the Pomeranian nobleman asked him in a low voice.
"Look clearly, the Mecklenburg captain is right. Because of the terrain, a section of the city wall is indeed lower than other places, and it is impossible to see clearly from the outside." The envoy said to the Pomeranian nobles. He was a member of Master Alger. As a nomad, he would train some of his unique abilities in order to survive at night, and his ability was to remember everything and be sensitive to the terrain.
"It's great, let's go back to the camp quickly." After hearing his words, the Pomeranian nobleman showed a victory smile on his face. He kicked the war horse under his crotch with his heels, leading everyone back to the camp.
"I always feel a little uneasy." Princess Josie's face was pale. She sat on a chair and held her forehead. The symptoms of pregnancy were getting worse and worse. After checking in person, Miss Shirley thought that she was likely to have premature birth at any time. If she didn't have a good rest, something bad might happen.
"Don't worry, I will defend the wall myself tonight. Princess Princess, you should go back to the tower and have a good rest. Even if it's not for yourself, you should consider the children in your stomach." Harvey comforted Princess Josie and said.
"Okay, I feel tired all over." Princess Josie said weakly and weakly. Several attendants and knights quickly lifted the chair and took the princess to the main tower for her to cultivate.
The Pomeranians sent many servants according to the agreement, and placed the bodies of the Pomeranian soldiers who died under the city wall on a wooden cart and took them away. On the wall, the Mecklenburg soldiers watched the servants with crossbows in their hands. They had no trust in these pagans, and were afraid that the other party would make small moves in chaos.
"Shasha~~~." A servant wearing a torn robe in a Pomeranian style dragged half of the body to the wooden cart with difficulty, but when he squatted down, he carefully looked at the city wall from under the felt hat. When he saw that the soldiers on the city wall were not paying attention, he took out an arrow from his arms, used the body as a cover to dig a pit on the ground, and then inserted the arrow firmly.
"Hurry up, hurry up." The person who was in the Pomeranian leader was walking among these servants. Although he was holding a whip as if he was urging him, his eyes swept around the ground. When he saw the arrows inserted on the ground, he left inadvertently. (To be continued)
