The Saxon cavalry was tied backwards and was pushed by two Viking warriors to the Danish king Banuk, behind whom stood his monk slave as an interpreter, and when the Saxon cavalry stood in front of the Danish king Banuk, Banuk looked at the cavalry in front of him, the leather armor on his body had been removed, so he was only wearing an undershirt and trousers, and even the shoes on his feet were pulled off by an unknown Viking warrior and taken away, so what appeared in front of the Danish king was a wolf bèi unbearable captive.

"Why, as a Saxon, is he on my territory?" King Banuk of Denmark sat casually on a dead stake, put his cloak over his right knee, and addressed the monk behind him, who immediately translated his words.

"I am a subject of the king of East Francia and have no duty to answer this question." The Saxon cavalry said dismissively.

He was reluctant to answer the question. When the monk told the Danish king the words of the Saxon cavalry, Banuk's brow furrowed, for it was strange that a Saxon was here, and a Saxon who was not afraid of the Viking warriors was either a Germanic nobleman or a soldier.

"If he is willing to tell me about my mission, I am willing to let him go." Touching his braided beard, the Danish king Banuk said to the monk that he should translate it to the Saxon cavalry.

"What, is this heretic telling the truth?" The Saxon cavalry glared at the monk, trying to confirm whether the promise was true.

"Before you is His Majesty Banuk, King of Denmark, and you should trust the promise of a king." The monk advised.

"Okay. I have come by order of His Majesty Henry, King of East Francia, to bring the news of the King's dispatch to Schleisug to His Excellency the Duke of Abel. "The Saxon cavalry felt that if he was caught and killed, he would only sacrifice his life in vain, but he would not be able to complete the mission given to him by the king, anyway, the Danes would know the news of the king's army sooner or later, so it was better to have another chance to live.

"The king of East Francia wants to send troops to my domain, why?" Danish King Banuk asked puzzled, secretly surprised in his heart,

"The Viking warriors attacked the realm of the king's vassals last year, and it just so happened that the king received a letter for help from the Duchy of Mason. Therefore, it is intended that the rash army will destroy you in one fell swoop. The Saxon cavalry said loudly. Henry the Birdcatcher is finally determined to solve this northern problem when Viking warriors attack the northern coastal realms of East Francia almost every winter eve, and now Henry the Birdcatcher is finally determined to solve this problem from the north.

"Hmph, then let your king see who can have the last laugh." King Banuk of Denmark stood up angrily. Said to the Saxon cavalry.

"I've told him what I know. It was time for a king to fulfill his promise. The Saxon cavalry said to the monk. Let him translate to Banuk that the Danish king Banuk glanced at the Viking warrior behind the Saxon cavalry, and the Viking warrior immediately stepped forward and drew his short sword from his waist. However, instead of cutting the rope of the Saxon cavalry, his short sword caught the head of the Saxon cavalry with his strong arm, and then quickly slit the horseman's throat with his short sword, ending the life of the unlucky messenger.

"Oh God." The monk's face turned pale, and he looked at the corpse of the Saxon cavalry killed by Banuk in violation of his promise, and involuntarily drew a cross, bowed his head and muttered a prayer for the Christian.

"I didn't expect the king of East Francia to come with his troops, I wouldn't be afraid if it was in normal times, but the damned Earl of Mecklenburg wiped out most of my Viking warriors at sea, and now they have a complete advantage in numbers, and I can no longer find a lord to call for help, hey, what will the monk do if this happens to your king?" After talking to himself, the Danish king Banuk suddenly inquired about the monk, and his rough voice woke the monk from his prayer to God.

"Oh, usually when a Christian king is attacked by other peoples, he will ask his cousins or the Holy See for help, and other Christian lords will come to his aid spontaneously, because we are all God's people." The monk bowed his head, not daring to look at the moody pagan king, and told him what he knew.

"It's a strange habit for others to come to your aid for no reason, just because you believe in the same god, and our gods love us to kill each other, leaving strong kings and warriors behind for the twilight of the gods." Danish King Banuk was surprised to hear this and said, in the Viking culture, it is only possible to get assistance by forming alliances with each other, but this kind of thing can be reversed at any time, and being eliminated can only say that you are too weak to adapt to the cold Nordic wind.

When the hapless Saxon messenger broke into the camp of the Viking warriors, the hired Viking warriors led by Grace came to the coast, and several ships from Mecklenburg came from a distance, because of the power of Arold's fire-breathing ship, so that the Vikings had completely abandoned this sea, and the ships of Mecklenburg sailed unhindered here, they drove to the shore with the food and supplies provided, and the sailors put the food and supplies on the shore with linen ropes, and the baggage carts were also driven down, The supplies were placed on the cart again, and Grace and the hired Viking warriors escorted them cautiously on the way back.

"The wheels are so loud that I'm afraid the scouts at Banuk will find out and make the handymen quicker." The Vikings had to be hired to use the Masons for a distance, but in the skirmishes of a few days, the forces of the two sides were intertwined, often penetrating into each other's rear, and if they encountered the troops of the Danish king Banuk at this time, they were afraid that these supplies would be attacked, so they were more cautious.

"Got it, raise the round shield and pay attention to the alert formation." Of course, Grace understood this, and she ordered the Viking warriors to form a vigilant formation, with Viking warriors with spears in front, archers in the middle, and heavy infantry with shields and battle axes on the left and right, although the speed of the march was a little slower, but it was more secure, but in this way, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded from the tall grass on both sides, which made everyone suddenly nervous, and the archers pulled the bowstring in their hands and made a gurgling sound, facing the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came.
