Duke Abel looked at these nobles who had sworn allegiance to him, but now stood behind Count Lauzitz, and he decided to talk to the nobles again, trying to save the situation with his personal prestige.

"Mason's nobles, God bears witness, I, Abel. Herman, or the Duke whom you have sworn allegiance, if you still value your honor, then sue me if you are sincerely against me? ”

"Whew." The nobles listened to Duke Mason's words, they were a little red-faced, and it was true that the blatant rebellion against the monarch to whom they swore allegiance would become a stain on their reputation, and no one was willing to take responsibility for this stain, and the Count of Lauzitz also understood that his biggest weakness in raising the banner of rebellion was this, and it was easy for the enthusiastic nobles to pick up the sword, but how not to make them feel guilty for this was a matter of skill, at this time he looked at the strategist Brother Robert beside him, and Brother Robert immediately nodded knowingly.

"We are absolutely not against you, our esteemed Duke, but Baron Wendell, a man of humble origin, has been stirring in your ears all day long to provoke the wise Duke, and to make the Mason nobles uneasy, and his son, the Count of Mecklenburg, has taken in the infidels and Jews into his court, and has made Mecklenburg a miasma of heresy, so that the glory of Christ cannot shine in Mecklenburg, God, what a sin, so that all the Mason nobles collectively demand, Our wise Duke has deposed Baron Wendell as the Minister, severed his oath with the Wendell family, and renounced the protection of this sinful family. Brother Robert said loudly, as a monk who relied on his brains to eat, and his words hit the Wendell family's death hole.

"That's right, in God's name, it must stop sheltering the evil Wendell family." Listening to Brother Robert's words, the nobles were excited, and after receiving the name of righteousness, they became even more justified and fearless, after all, the command of the king of heaven is higher than the oath of the duke of earth.

"I, I never knew there was such a thing as heresy." Duke Abel felt sweat running down his head, and it was terrible to be accused of harboring heresy, even if he could not clean himself.

"Lord Duke, do it on their terms, we can't let them do it, once they do it, the situation will be out of control." Baron Bruce urged again behind Duke Able, the nobles under the castle had drawn their swords and danced above their heads, the rude soldiers were making a loud noise, and the defenders of the castle were nervously pulling their bowstrings, and if someone shot arrows out of nervousness, a siege battle would be provoked, and blood would stain the walls of Fort Mason.

"I, I know, I promise you, I will never shelter heretics, God bears witness for me." Duke Abel hurriedly raised his hand to stop the castle defenders, and shouted to the castle below.

"As for the Wendell family, we will only retreat if the Duke says that he will no longer shelter the Wendell family." The nobles besieging the castle raised their heads and said to Duke Abel.

"I am still your monarch, how can you persecute me so much." Although besieged by thousands of troops, Duke Abel was young and vigorous after all, and he was finally angered by the aggressive nobles, who loudly scolded the nobles under the castle.

"It seems that the Duke thinks he still has Fort Mason to rely on." Brother Robert looked at the enraged Duke Abel and said to Count Lauzitz.

"Hmph, I expected it a long time ago, and now it's time for him to see our strength." Count Lauzitz smiled contemptuously, and he squinted at one of the knights of the Inner House beside him, who immediately turned his horse's head and walked to the rear, and after a while the shouts and creaks of the soldiers were heard behind him, as if a heavy carriage was moving.

"So, what's that?" Duke Abel saw dozens of soldiers from Count Lautz's army moving forward with a wooden cart that looked like Arold's whirlwind, but larger in size than the whirlwind, fixed to a four-wheeled wooden cart, and a mechanical siege weapon based on the principle of levers.

"Lord Duke, this is my new catapult, and it's far more powerful than Arold's powerless whirlwind cannon." Count Lauzitz said with a smile to Duke Ebel.

"Impossible, how can it be?"

"Lord Duke, you can think about it slowly, but I can't wait for this catapult in my hand." Count Lauzitz rode over triumphantly, stretched out his hand and proudly patted the big fellow, and said to Duke Abel on the city wall.

"Catapult?" It was the first time Duke Abel had seen it, he knew this kind of legendary siege weapon, but it was said that it only kept in the hands of the far south and a few advanced states, but he didn't expect to be able to see the physical object so closely, the lever sharpened with strong wood, and the firm joint part tied with iron bars, this is definitely not a weapon that a person like Count Rauzitz can have, at this time, a chill appeared in Duke Ebel's heart, who was behind the scenes, and instigated this qiē.

"Lord Duke, why don't we agree to their request first, and then gather the vassals to make plans after they retreat?" Baron Bruce finally proposed a more reasonable Jianyì, which made the Duke of Abel who had no gods and no gods have to accept it.

"Well, I agree, I agree with all your requests." Resisting the anger in his heart, Duke Abel clenched his fists and propped his hands on the cold stone battlements, and said to the Mason nobles who were besieging him.

"Oh, okay~~~~." Hearing that the Duke of Abel had finally agreed to their request, the army of the Count of Lauzitz burst into cheers, as if they had won a great victory and conquered a castle, and this cheer alarmed Dylan, who was imprisoned in the dungeon. Matt, he didn't know how long he had been in captivity, only that the fist-sized window above his head had lit up and dimmed several times.

"What's wrong, what's that sound?" Dylan. Matt stood up, the dark and damp dungeon was devastating to his body, eating rotten apples every day and sometimes not even eating apples, making him severely malnourished, and the rats in the dungeon were staring in the shadows with their long, smooth tails, waiting for the misshapen hunchbacked prisoner to die so that he could eat what little meat he had left.

"This is the cheer of Count Lausitz, my friend." At this time, a man's voice sounded from outside the fence of the dungeon, Dylan. Matt struggled to open his eyes, and in the dim light saw that it was Duncan, the court tailor of the Duke of Able. Alfred.

"It's you, why are you here? Did Count Lauzitz call? "Dylan. Matt hadn't seen a familiar face in a long time, and now he was able to meet Duncan. Alfred couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, but he immediately turned his attention to the cheers outside.

"When I first came in, I got the news that Count Lauzitz seems to be forcing Lord Abel to give up his protection of the Wendell family, and they deserve what they want." Duncan. Alfred shrouded himself in a black cloak that blended in in the gloomy surroundings to Dylan. Matt explains what's going on out there.

"What? Breaking ties with the Wendell family, did Lord Duke really do this, it's too stupid, he should join forces with the Wendell family, doesn't he know that once Count Lauzitz solves the Wendell family, then the next target is the Duke himself? Why not stop him. "Dylan. Matt was stunned when he heard the news, but soon shouted excitedly, thanks to the Dungeon Guards. Alfred was completely stunned, otherwise he would have been surrounded by the guards to check it out.

"Well, the courtiers around the Duke are all Count Lautz's people, and they all take a lot of bribes, and they will not sue the Duke for this, and I feel sorry that the bloodline of the Herman family is so fragile to this day, and it is really sad that those strategists are manipulated at will." Duncan. Alfred shook his head, smacking his displeasure.

"Duncan. Alfred, you are also a courtier of the Duke, go and warn him not to trust Count Lauzitz. "Dylan. Matt grabbed the cold iron railing with both hands and yelled at Duncan. Alfred shouted.

"No, I'm loyal to the entire kingdom of East Francia, sorry my friend, I just came to see you, I originally wanted to collect your corpse, but it seems that you are very strong, then try to live, the light will always come, even in this dark age." Duncan. Alfred had long been accustomed to the struggle between the nobles, and the darker things, and for him he was only an outsider bystander, yes, he was a cold bystander.

When Count Rauzitz finished cheering, his face couldn't help but smile, he suddenly waved his hand behind him, only to see three nobles in civilian clothes appear from behind him, they walked to the front and bowed to Duke Abel on the castle, Duke Abel looked at them and was shocked, I didn't expect Count Rauzitz to bring the relatives of the three vassals here, and they have now become witnesses to the decision that Duke Abel has just made, this trick can be described as extremely ruthless, This made it impossible for Duke Abel to mobilize the vassal's army to fight, because he had just officially severed the relationship with the Wendell family in front of the three vassals' relatives, and now the Count of Lauzitz and the Wendell family had a personal grudge between the nobles, but the Duke of Abel had no position to intervene. r1152
