Chapter 70: Conquering the Castle

The scarf that really symbolizes the white flag was carried from the wooden pole above the tower. At the same time, a man's head poked out from the narrow window, reiterating his willingness to surrender, just hoping not to hurt the women and children inside. Arod wanted control of Göttingenburg, and excessive killing was not what he originally meant.

"Okay, I agree with your request."

"I don't know who you are? If you cannot guarantee your reputation, please forgive us for not trusting us." However, the surrendered messenger could not confirm whether Arod had the right to accept surrender. If he was an unknown man, he would probably break the contract casually.

"I am the second son of Baron Wendell, Sir Arod." Arod had no choice but to raise his head and report his name to the messenger. Baron Wendell also came to the gate at this time. Just now, a small group of guards from the castle intercepted them in the alley, and finally defeated the guards.

"Well, sir, I will inform the Count." The messenger heard that Arod was a knight with a title, nodded and retracted to report to the Earl of Ulrisey.

"Arod? I've never heard of this name." Earl Ulrisy frowned. He was suspicious after hearing the messenger's reply. Surrender was too big. If it was not done properly, he would be deceived and died.

"Sir, why don't we wait any longer? It wouldn't be too late if Duke Mason came in person to surrender." At this time, the adjutant saw that the impact of the gate stopped, so he suggested to Earl Ulrisey.

Arod raised his hand and asked the soldiers to stop hitting the gate. If the enemy wanted to surrender, there was no need to destroy the thick gate. You should know that repairing a gate would also cost a lot. Since Duke Mason was going to have a complete Göttingen Fort, he would give him a little more beautiful, which would deepen the duke's favor for him. Arod even began to think that Duke Mason would grant him the county and how to manage it after obtaining the land. Arod had no experience in this.

"Arod, the Earl of Ulri may be sloppy." Baron Wendell strode to Arrod. He heard Iv informing Earl of Ulrisy that Earl of Ulrisy wanted to surrender, but with his years of experience, Baron Wendell felt that Earl of Ulrisy would not surrender to a young and silent knight like Arrod, and now he just wanted to delay time with surrender.

"Is this possible?" Aruod was a little unbelievable. He had an absolute advantage. He only needed to break through the people inside the door and would have no possibility of resistance. Earl Ulrisi could not be unclear about this.

"This is a matter of face. A dignified count surrendered to an unknown knight, which would damage Ulrich's reputation." Sir Wendell patiently explained to his son. It seemed that the nobles regarded face as more important than life.

"Wait a little longer." Aruod held his sword, touching his beard that began to grow on his chin, trying to get the tower in full, but after a while, no one appeared at the window of the tower. Aruod was a little angry. He felt that he was being fooled. He was angry and shouted the soldiers who were sitting on the ground and resting, and ordered them to attack the gate with a more violent impact.

This time, the white flag that extended the surrender from the tower was no longer useful. Under the fierce attack of the Wendell family, the gate was finally broken. There was a loud creaking sound and the gate collapsed. The soldiers of the Earl of Ulrissi who were holding the door inside quickly took a few steps back, otherwise they would be almost pressed down by the collapsed gate. When the Wendell family soldiers saw the gate being broken, they roared excitedly and rushed into the tower. On one side, they were full of morale and on the other side, they were trembling. The entire tower was controlled by Aruod and others in a few seconds.

"Ah~~~." Aruod had just taken a breath and before he could recover, he heard the screams of women and children coming from the prayer room in the tower. Several light infantrymen dragged the noble women and maids out of the inside with greed, as if they were planning to rape these women and vent their animal desires.

"Get out, who told you to attack these women and children?" Aruod walked over and kicked the light infantry over and cursed them, regardless of his fatigue.

"This is our spoil." The light infantry was the recruitment of Duke Mason. They were already red in their eyes at this time. There was no superiority or inferiority in their eyes. They were at the bottom of society for many years and had the right to control the life and death of others at this time, so they were extremely dissatisfied with Aruod.

"How do you want to rebel?" Aruod's hands were also stained with several lives, and his character was much more fierce than in his previous life. He narrowed his eyes and held his sword, and said to these light infantrymen with a sneer. The armed servants of the Wendell family immediately surrounded him with weapons when they saw their little masters in danger.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Lord." The light infantry calmed down at this time and saw the sword stuck in Aruod's hand and the noble private soldiers who were eyeing him. They quickly lowered their heads and lowered the weapons in their hands, and left the women and left them aside. At least there were some valuable things in the tower.

"Woo~~~." The frightened noble woman hugged her maid and looked at Arud with blood dripping on the chainmail and shirt in fear. Perhaps in their eyes, Arud had no knightly demeanor at this time, but seeing that Arud didn't seem to be rude, the noble woman with pointed chin and blue eyes tried to calm down for a moment. She sorted out her long sapphire blue dress with her double-breasted gemstone and stood up tremblingly.

"Thank you, Lord Knight, I am Ellior, the niece of Count Ulrisey, the wife of Baron Raymond, noble Lord I know you are a knight with a noble demeanor and will not attack weak women, is that true?" The noble lady showed good aristocratic etiquette. Her eyes were full of charity like a cow, and her pupils were a little bigger than ordinary people, which made people look very beautiful.

"Don't worry, I, Arude, will not attack women and children." Arude nodded slightly, letting two armed servants stand at the door of the prayer room to protect the safety of these women and children. He walked to a table in the hall exhausted, pulled over a chair and sat down.

"Hi, Arud, see what I found? Burgundy wine." Ifu found a bottle of wine from the tower with great enthusiasm, opened his mouth and drank it excitedly. The red wine flowed along his mouth and went to his shirt like blood. Ifu took a few big sips and handed it to Arud. Arud didn't hesitate to take a big sip. The victorious wine was particularly sweet and delicious.

"Finding the Earl of Ulrisey." Baron Wendell did not rest. He knew that the war was over by capturing the Earl of Ulrisey. He led the soldiers to find the Earl of Ulrisey in the attic of the tower and politely invited him out.

"Oh, hello Count, please forgive me for not being able to stand up and salute." Aroud looked at the Earl of Ulrisy who was taken to the hall by the soldiers. The earl's armor was covered with dust and hair and beard, and the helmet on his head was thrown there. His face was filled with the loss of the defeated.

"I hope to get the treatment of prisoners of war that matches me." Earl Ulrisey ignored Arod, but instead bowed slightly to Baron Wendell on the side. He thought Baron Wendell was the commander of the battle.

"Sorry, Count, I have no right to make a decision. This battle was won by my second son." Baron Wendell looked at Earl Ulrisey, then pointed his left hand at Arod, who was sitting in the chair, and explained to Earl Ulrisey.

"What? He?" Earl Ulrisy looked at Arod, who was sitting in the chair, and showed an incredible expression on his face. He was actually defeated by such a young knight. Is this possible?

"That's right, sir." Aruod spread his arms and said with an indifferent expression.

"Hahaha, you are a monster Arud." Ifu, who was drinking beside him, laughed. He patted his brother's back and said loudly. At such a young age, he would soon spread to the kingdoms of Europa.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the kind of stone-treating tool, how could I be defeated by a boy like you?" Earl Ulrisey was resentful, and he looked like he refused to give in.

"Sorry, Count, that kind of stone catapult is also my brother's masterpiece." Ifu lazily threw the wine jar aside and leaned back. He watched Earl Ulrisy blow and burp, then said relaxedly.

"Impossible, you think this lie will convince me that you just want to fool me." Earl Ulrisey shook his head with a tragic smile.

"Sadly, this is true." Baron Wendell nodded, affirming this.

"Lord, are you punishing me?" Earl Ulrisy's face turned pale, and he murmured to himself.

When Duke Mason rode a tall horse and entered the tower of the Göttingenburg with the victor's posture, he saw the neurotic look of Count Ulrisey, which was both funny and sad. Therefore, he did not lock Count Ulrisey in the dungeon as a prisoner, but instead acted as a prisoner of honor. This also shows that Duke Mason was in a good mood from one side. That night, Duke Mason and his nobles held a victory banquet, and the food used was from the granary in the Göttingenburg and the food offered by the civilians in the castle. This important province of Duke Saxony fell into the hands of Duke Mason, which was the largest trophy he had obtained since several battles with Duke Saxony.
