Section 203 Butterflies

The Mecklenburg envoy was walking in the woods on horseback, and he looked around as if looking for something, when a man wrapped in a cloak appeared from behind a large tree, looking at the Mecklenburg envoy and his two attendants, at which time the Mecklenburg envoy raised his right hand, the palm of which faced the other, and the other raised his palm, and then clenched his fist to the position of his heart.

"Where's Lord Harvey?" Seeing that the other party had made a code, the Mecklenburg messenger kicked his horse and walked forward, and took out a wooden sign from his bosom with a few drops of blood painted on it, which turned out to be a member of the Brotherhood of Blood Drops.

"Here, Lord Harvey is waiting for you." The mysterious man led the messenger of Mecklenburg to the depths of the woods, and in a clearing in the woods, where the lush weeds were like thick mats, Harvey was crouching on a small stump with his back to the messenger of Mecklenburg.

"Lord Harvey, Lord Count Mecklenburg~~~." The messenger was about to go up to deliver Arold's order to Harvey, but Harvey raised his arm to stop him.

"Shhhh Harvey booed the messenger, only to see a colorful butterfly fly up from the grass, the beautiful butterfly fluttered its wings and flew overhead, Harvey helplessly watched the fleeing butterfly stand up.

"Lord Harvey?" The Mecklenburg envoy looked at Harvey who had turned around, wondering what had happened to the head of the Mecklenburg spy, but he had not forgotten his duty.

"Are the northerners making a lot of trouble?" Harvey turned to regain the shrewd and powerful leader of the spies, who had probably received news of the Vikings' raid on Mecklenburg from travelers and merchants. Most of the members of the Brotherhood of Blood Drops are stationed in the Duchy of Mason, and are not as well-informed as these travelers and merchants.

"It's a terrible thing to raid our harbor and slaughter all the merchants in an inn, but thanks to your early warning to the Earl, we built three bunkers in the harbor to prevent further attacks from the northerners, and then the Earl mobilized his army to drive the northerners away." The envoy from Mecklenburg told Harvey what had happened, and it was basically the same as Harvey had learned.

"I'm afraid those northerners will not leave so lightly. They're definitely going to make a comeback. Mecklenburg is like a fat prey to them, and it will definitely strike again. Harvey also has his own intelligence analysis, and it's similar to the information Arjod received from the shield maiden Grace.

"Yes, Lord Count has received news from the captured Vikings. The master of this group of Vikings was King Knuba of Denmark. It is no longer a matter of Mecklenburg as a county. Rather, it is a war that the entire Duchy of Mason needs to deal with. ”

"Mobilize the forces of Duke Mason?" Harvey somewhat understood why Arold would send an envoy to come, the Danish king not only had the advantage in troops, but also the warriors under his command would inevitably end up in death if they were forced to touch. Although the Duchy of Mason is only a medium-strength country in the East Franconian Kingdom, it has the strength to not lose to the Danish king as long as it sends out a general mobilization.

And this kind of battle will definitely attract the attention of King Henry, Arold is a vassal of the Duchy of Mason, and the Duke of Abel is a vassal of King Henry, if Arold's territory is attacked, Henry, as the king, can ignore it without any responsibility according to the principle that the vassals of my vassals are not my vassals, but if the Duke of Mason is attacked, then it is Henry's vassals who are attacked, and at this time it is a national war between the King of Denmark and the entire East Francian kingdom.

"Yes, but the Earl is still worried about Count Lautz, what has he been doing lately?" The envoy of Mecklenburg said what Arrod was most worried about, generally speaking, the outside must be settled first, but the attitude of Duke Abel made Arold quite worried, and in the stall of the upcoming marriage with the Herman family, he could only monitor and could not solve the problem once and for all.

"This guy has been very quiet lately, but his Brother Robert has made me very concerned, I have sent a few blood drops to keep an eye on it, and if there is any abnormal movement, there will be news." Harvey said to the messenger.

"That's good, with your help, Chief, Lord Count can concentrate on dealing with the northerners." The messenger breathed a sigh of relief, as a high-ranking member of the Brotherhood of Blood Drops, he knew that Arold had always regarded Count Lautzitz as a thorn in his side, and of course the other party had seen Arold as well.

"Is Arold finally going to marry Princess Josie?" Just when the two sides were about to end the connection, Harvey asked a very strange question, but the messenger knew why Harvey asked like this, as a senior member of the Brotherhood of Blood Drops, of course he knew Harvey's ** lover relationship with Arold, thinking that his lover was about to get married, I am afraid that Harvey must be very heartbroken under that indifferent strong appearance, but what can be done, it is impossible for an earl to marry a commoner woman as his wife, not to mention that her love rival is the princess of the Herman family.

"Yes, Lord Abel will take Princess Josie with him when he leads Mason's army to Mecklenburg, and they will be married in the church of Mecklenburg, and Mecklenburg will have a mistress." The messenger had to harden his heart and say to Harvey.

"I'm just asking, as a reference for intelligence, so that Arold's power will be further consolidated." Harvey turned his face to look into the corner of the woods, where there was nothing, and there was silence except for the slight rustle of the wind through the tips of the grass.

"If Lord Harvey doesn't have any orders, I'll return to Mecklenburg, I wonder if Lord Leader has any news for me to bring back?" The envoy couldn't bear to say to Harvey at this time.

But there was silence, and in the face of this silence, the messenger sighed slightly, bowed to Harvey, and turned away, and soon the sound of horses' hooves was heard on the outskirts of the woods, and Harvey held his left arm with his right hand, and after a long time she disappeared from the woods, leaving only a drop of dew on the top of a verdant longtail where she had stood, and colorful butterflies fluttered around the branches, like happy elves, and could not move when it flew happily, A spider web between a tree held it tightly.
