Verse 51 in the name of Bilis

Lu Sien's eyes looked at the sky, today's sky is exceptionally blue, he misses the fruit trees in his territory a little, whenever the fruit is ripe, the farmers stand on the fruit trees and shout and laugh to each other, as a lord, he is also waiting for the harvest season like everyone else, but when he comes back to his senses, he can only twist his body uncomfortably, his back is a thick wooden stake, and the iron chain binds him strongly.

"Hallelujah~~~." Father Paul walked up to Lusen, and he made a cross against the rebellious nobleman, reciting the name of the Virgin.

"Phew~~." Looking at the priest in front of him, Lu Sien's eyes widened and glared at him, it was this priest who burned his relatives to death, and now tied himself to the stake.

"If you repent now and believe in our lord, then your punishment may be beheaded." Father Paul spoke to Russon with pity and stretched out the cross he was holding in front of him.

"Hahaha." Listening to Father Paul's words, Lu Sien tilted his head and laughed loudly, and the crowd of people watching around the stake was burned, most of them had a lively expression, and Ms. Marty's eyes were a little unbearable, Lu Sien was a courtier in her father's time, although they were estranged from each other after Marty came to power, but they were also the ones who watched Marty grow up, and now he was tied to a wooden post like a dead pig, and his feet were full of firewood.

"Do you have to be burned at the stake, Lord Earl?" Marty said to Arrold, who was watching from the sidelines.

"Father Paul insisted on continuing the Inquisition." Arold shrugged his shoulders, of course, he was against the matter of Father Paul's requisition before it caused a rebellion, but now that the rebellion has been triggered. Then it is better to persist in doing so, and take this opportunity to eliminate all those dissidents, and it can also serve as an example to those who continue to stubbornly stick to the old ways.

"Beheading and burning, no matter what, he has only one way to die." Marty said disgruntled to Julian, who was standing on the other side.

"He betrayed you and is a traitor. Accepting this punishment will not damage your prestige. Julian comforted Marty.

"Pour oil." Seeing that the Slavic nobles in front of him had no intention of repenting, Father Paul finally stopped preaching to the lost lamb, and he sighed and said to the soldiers next to him.

"Hmm." A viscous jug of whale oil was poured on the body of the leader of Rusen, who closed his eyes so that the oil would not drip into his eyes, and let out a muffled grunt from his mouth, the Slavic nobleman was also hard. If only ordinary people had panicked at this time.

"May God forgive you for your sins." Father Paul took two steps back and made a cross against the leader of Landing Sern, and a soldier with a torch stepped forward and lit the pyre of the stake at the stake, and the dry firewood immediately crackled. Flames and smoke rose from below, choking the leader of Lu Si En and coughing continuously, and when the fire licked his leg doused with whale oil, the flames suddenly became larger, and the raging flames engulfed the entire body of the leader Lu Si En.

"Ahhhh Even the brave and strong leader of Russon could not bear the sharp pain, and he raised his head and let out a terrible scream, circling in the clearing outside the castle. The sound continued throughout the execution, and many of the onlookers couldn't help but turn their faces away, and some of the timid couldn't help but close their eyes and cover their ears.

"Hallelujah~~~~~Ah~~~~~." The leader of Lu Sien, who was finally engulfed in the fire in the ball of fire, was no longer screaming. In addition to the crackling sound of the firewood at the scene is the nervous hymn of Father Paul, Arold couldn't help but hold his cloak to cover his mouth and nose, the smell of barbecue at this time made him feel sick, later generations often heard of medieval Catholic burning at the stake, but watching the scene only realized that this kind of punishment is terrible, burning from the soles of the feet for a long time before the flames will consume the executed. The pain is so constant that it is no wonder that many would rather be hanged or beheaded than judged by the church.

The Inquisition was re-opened centered in Willeburg. This time, Father Paul was not alone, with Mecklenburg's cavalry in charge. Those who tried to resist were quickly routed and fled to the countryside, and the Slavic nobles, who had abandoned Martí because of religious discord, finally saw the fierce side of Catholicism, and they understood that if they did not return to Martí's court, they would not be able to talk about it once they were released and confiscate their land and property, so they finally bowed their proud heads and came to Willeburg single-handedly with their eldest son.

"Forgive my foolishness and ignorance, noble Lady Marty, I am willing to be baptized, and I only ask you to renew my oath of allegiance." The Slavic nobleman knelt in front of Marty and spoke to the female lord with great humility.

"Very well, I accept your oath, but you have to return to the territory to gather at least twenty soldiers and wait for my call at any time." Lady Marty sat on her lord's throne and watched one stubble after another come to her feet, and said to the nobles who had sworn allegiance to her, and she also knew that these capricious Slavic nobles would not be so obedient without Arold's army, but this was the reality, and if she did not forgive these capricious nobles, then her reign could not last, after all, the lord could not rule alone in the castle.

At this time, Arold was not idle, he sent javelin cavalry to reconnoiter the border between Wille and Watergastershire, after the feedback of the intelligence, Kang Tuoyi did not know about the arrival of Arold led the army, maybe he knew but there was no action, he was concentrating on dealing with the Teutonic knights and, for Kang Tuoyi, this coastal fortress built by the Teutonic knights, like a fishbone pierced in his throat, if not removed, it would be extremely uncomfortable.

"Lady Marty, how many men can you gather now?" Arjod said to the female lord as Lady Marty was free.

"About five hundred people at most." Lady Marty told Arold that although her army had just suffered a lot of losses in battle, the Slavic nobles had grown in strength by then.

"Well, then we have a total of six hundred people, and Kang Tuoyi has at least three thousand people in his hands, and there may even be reinforcements." Arold touched his chin and said with a frown, "It will take some time for the Mecklenburg Legion to reach Willeburg, but now Arold must attract Kang Tuoyi's attention to relieve the pressure on Yves and the Teutonic knights."

"We can't win Kang Tuoyi from the front, it's better to change the way." Ms. Marty said to Arold.

"Another way, what's that?" Arold leaned back on the wooden chair and looked at the female lord in front of him in confusion, it was obvious that Marty had misunderstood Arold's intentions.

"We can use Bilisi as a bargaining chip to force him to recognize the legitimacy of our territorial acquisition, and then sign an armistice with us." Marty believes that Arjod rescued Bilisi in order to gain a bargaining chip, after all, the Great Emirate of Mecklenburg has been on the Baltic coast for too long, no one thinks it will become history, and generations of Slavs have legitimized the family of the Great Chief.

"Negotiate, hehe." Arold couldn't help but smile, he didn't come for a truce, it was his strategic goal to seize the Baltic coastal lands, and eventually eliminate the Great Emirate of Mecklenburg and establish a dynasty of the House of Win.

"Isn't it?" Madame Marty looked at Arold in astonishment, she had heard that the Germanic kings were dying, which meant that there was a high probability of civil war among the East Francians, and that it would not be wise to provoke the powerful Kang Tuoyi.

"Kang Tuoyi must be destroyed, I have decided to lead the cavalry into Watergaster County first, looking for an opportunity to lure Kang Tuoyi to come to battle, Lady Marty, you lead your army to stand by in the castle, and join up with the Mecklenburg Legion that will arrive later, and then enter Watergaster County." Arjod said to Ms. Marty.

"Well, this time the counterinsurgency Weller owes Mecklenburg a favor, and I will do as you order, but only once." Ms. Marty said to Arrod that in Ms. Marty's view, she and Arold were only allies, and no matter how they fought, they would each send their troops to act independently, so they were under Arrod's command as they are now.

"Hmm." Arold looked at the stubborn girl in front of him, he smiled slightly and agreed, it is true that the status of both of them is an earl, and the reason why one earl commands another earl also makes Arold urgently have an urge to improve his status.

"But I still beg you, Lord Earl, to kill the villain Bilis." Marty still did not give up and told Arald that although she had offered to buy Biliss at any price, Arold refused.

On the third day after quelling the rebellion in Willeburg, Arold led the cavalry troops to kill the Wottgast County in a mighty manner, each cavalry only carried enough food to eat for four days, so the mobility was extremely fast, accompanied by the original Watergast Lord Billis, as soon as he entered the Watergast County Billis, the role was revealed, as a lord, of course, he was very aware of the distribution of villages in his territory, Arold did not lead the cavalry to the north to directly support the Teutonic knights, Instead, they wander around the countryside looking for village farmhouses.

"Swear allegiance to your old lord."

"What, actually refused, burned the village."

"What, regret it now, it was too late, sack this village in the name of Lord Bilis." Arold's cavalry, under the banner of Bilisi, looted the villages of Watergast, mercilessly plundering the crops and livestock of the villagers' villages, and suddenly the flames of war ignited again in Watergast, which had just calmed down after the war.
