The Mecklenburgers stood on the wall of the border fort and watched below. The open gate was not blocked. The pikes could be seen through the opened gate. It was obvious that they were not afraid of the Bavarians rushing in. ~

However, at this time, not far below the fortress, between the pointed wooden trenches, the Bavarians gathered behind the trenches. They quietly watched the cleaned battlefield, because the supreme commanders of the two armies were meeting and discussing, so the battlefield became particularly quiet.

"Duke of Mecklenburg."

"Duke of Bavaria."

Arod was dozens of steps apart from the Duke of Bavaria, and they only had two guards, a flag-holder, and a nobleman. The Duke of Bavaria looked up and down at Arod in front of him. This young and indifferent nobleman did not look very majestic, but his eyes were shrewd to see through people. Moreover, the Duke of Bavaria instinctively felt that Arod had something that could not be described.

At the same time, Arod also looked at the Duke of Bavaria in front of him. This stubborn old man who made King Henry feel very troubled, reminded Arod of the old Huang Zhong in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. His upper body was straight like a proud old lion, with the chain mail and shirt tightly tied to him.

"I have surrounded the fortress, and the Duke of Mecklenburg should surrender immediately! I will entertain you according to the manners of the nobles." The Duke of Bavaria raised his chin and raised his beard and said to Arod.

"Hey, Lord Duke, have you not woken up? I just repelled your siege troops." Arod sneered, put his hands on the leather strap around his waist, and his thumbs of both hands were buckled in the belt. His indifferent attitude made the Bavarians angry.

"Young man, you are so proud. I have seen many young nobles like you, but when they challenged me, they became my defeated men without exception, so stop when they are better! This is the sincere advice of an old man." The Duke of Bavaria raised his left hand to stop his subordinates' commotion. He said in a confident voice. Although his words were a bit arrogant, as a duke who had survived three dynasties, he was definitely qualified to say this.

"You can give it a try." Arod was too lazy to talk. The reason why he agreed to the peace talks was just because he was curious about the Duke of Bavaria. After all, in later generations, a Hollywood film called "Princess Sissi" made the Chinese people know the name of the Duke of Bavaria for the first time.

"In my opinion, there is no need to waste the lives of soldiers. You are very clear that you do not have legal possession of this fortress. The longer you persist, the more you will lose." The Duke of Bavaria narrowed his eyes and looked at Arod, who was expressionless. The young nobleman was not in his expression, which made the Duke feel very difficult.

"Well, what advice does the Duke have?" Arod asked the old duke in staring into the Duke of Bavaria.

"Take your men and return to your territory, that's all." said the Duke of Bavaria.

"Oh, this is difficult." Aruod turned his face and looked at the direction of Border Fort. He took off the leather gloves from his hand and said.

"What's wrong?" asked the Duke of Bavaria.

"We have accepted the order of His Majesty the King to find Duke Mason. Now, Duke Mason has not only not found him, but has returned without success because of the obstruction of the Duke of Bavaria. In this way, there is no way to submit a mission to His Majesty the King." Aroud said.

"Don't scare me with the guy who plays with birds except for playing with birds in bed. This is just an excuse for him to deal with me." The Duke of Bavaria stretched out his fingers angrily and pointed at the tip of Arod's nose. The Mecklenburg people reacted immediately, putting their hands on the hilt of the sword around their waists, and the same Bavarians were not to be outdone and laying the tip of the spear flat.

"Hmm?" Arod was a little amused when he heard this. Although King Henry was addicted to playing canary, the Duke of Bavaria was obviously mocking Henry.

"How is it? Young people should not be like sissies." The Duke of Bavaria waved his strong arms and said to Arod.

"I still say the same thing. If I can't see Duke Mason, I will not leave, nor will my people." Arod said to the Duke of Bavaria.

"Hmph, then you will die here." The Duke of Bavaria's eyes became sharp and threatening tone.

"Then let's see!" Aruod smiled contemptuously. He was not afraid of such a threat.

"Once I issue a vassal order, do you know how much military force I can gather?" The Duke of Bavaria misunderstood Arod did not believe in his strength. He decided to put some pressure on Arod, so he revealed his decision and strength.

"Oh?" Arud nodded thoughtfully.

"Ten thousand people, 10 thousand people. My vassals will lead the army to gather here from all directions. Such a border fortress cannot be stopped." The Duke of Bavaria raised his finger, pointed to the border fort, and said to Arod.

"Sir Duke, since I have told me this information, I should also tell you something."

"What's the matter?" asked the Duke of Bavaria curiously.

"Here, the Mecklenburg Legion, which I belong to, and the army supported by the Mason nobles. However, there are many Slav tribes in the territory along the Baltic Sea. In order to deal with them, I established a knighthood, where the knights fought with the Slavs for years."

"A Knights, ah, ha, are you telling a joke?" The Duke of Bavaria said mockingly. Everyone knows that the Knights need to spend a huge amount of money to maintain, which is not something he thinks can't be established by poor and backward northerners.

"Oh, I forgot to say that besides the Teutonic Knights, my brother is the earl of Lauziz, and I have not told you about my alliance with the Danes?" said Arod.

"Danish?" The Duke of Bavaria frowned. Perhaps the Knights were nothing, but the Danes wielding the battle axe were a nightmare for the Franks.

"Don't listen to his Duke. Even if he has these foreign aids, he will not have time to save him. Our people will be faster." The military chief of the Duke of Bavaria took a step forward and said to the Duke of Bavaria.

"Yeah." The Duke of Bavaria nodded. The journey from the Baltic Sea coast to the southern Duchy of Bavaria was long, not to mention that the Danes might not come to work for Arod.
