Miss Shirley in the forest turned her back to the hidden man and bent down as if to pick mushrooms at her feet, the man wrapped in the gray cloak had been Miss Shirley's temple guard, but when Mecklenburg was captured, Miss Shirley was a guest in Mecklenburg and not in her own temple, and after the temple and the surrounding land were given by Arjod to the Order of St. John as a parish, these temple guards were lurking and secretly protecting Miss Shirley.

"What's wrong with Lord Sacrifice?"

"The Count of Mecklenburg wants me to make a poison that can make people drowsy, but this recipe is only known to the elders, and I need you to send a message to the elders to make me a poison that can make people act as usual, but they are weak." Miss Shirley said to the hidden temple guards.

"Making poison?" The hidden temple guard asked in surprise, they were believers in the goddess of life, and it was against the doctrine to use the killing of innocent lives, but now the priestess had asked the most honorable elder in their sect to make poison.

"Yes, the Count of Mecklenburg threatens to allow the Friars to hold a religious inquisition if his demands are not met." Shirley said to the Temple Guards.

"Damn it." The temple guard listened to it angrily and hit the tree next to him with his fist, but he was helpless, the name of the temple guard sounded very majestic, but in fact, it was just the role of an ordinary guard, not to mention that in the process of Arold's conquest of Mecklenburg, the military force that the temple could mobilize had already been exhausted, and there was no ability to resist Arold militarily.

"You have to report it to the elders, and you have to be careful not to be discovered by the people of the Brotherhood of Blood drops." Shirley instructed the temple guards.

"Understood." The temple guards agreed, and vanished into the mist, and only the oldest and most knowledgeable of Shirley's sect could become elders. Years of knowledge have given the elders a thorough understanding of the medicinal properties of herbs and poisons.

Just after assigning Miss Shirley the task of making poison, Arold held a military meeting in the council hall of Mecklenburg, attended not only by Arrod's generals, but also by Billis, the former lord of Watergast, who had been refreshed and refreshed, and this military meeting was the most important meeting for Arold to conquer Watergast.

"Lord Earl, Lord Yves and the Teutonic knights are fighting in Watergast. Nor can we stand idly by, and we should immediately mobilize our troops and march to Watergast. Ron, who had just been canonized as a baron, sat on Arrod's right-hand side and said to Arrod and the nobles present.

"I don't know if Lord Yves and the Teutonic knights can support our army to rescue, I heard that Kang Tuoyi has more than 5,000 troops, can we deal with such a large army?" Although Soros was a Jew, he was also absorbed into the court of Mecklenburg, and because of the Jews, he could not hold important positions such as stewards, but as the leader of the Jewish community, he could still participate in such important meetings, after all, there was no better place to raise food and money than the Jews.

"Hmph." Ron felt for the brass leather buckle around his waist. The face is full of contempt for Jews, in fact, many Catholics have such prejudice against Jews, and this cultural incompatibility and suspicion cannot be changed in a day or two.

"Lord Bilis, does Kang Tuoyi really have five thousand troops?" Arold turned his head to look at Bilis, who was sitting on his left, and among the people present, Biliss was the one who really fought against Kang Tuoyi, so Arold tried his best to get first-hand information from Bilis.

"Well, in fact, Kang Tuoyi's real military strength is only about 3,500, but I'm worried about another thing." Billis after washing up and changing into a brand new outfit. The aristocratic bearing returned to him, and the former Lord of Watergast leaned back in his seat. Said to the crowd.

"What's the matter?" Arrod leaned forward, he sat up straight and prepared to listen, compared to Billis's demeanor like a drawn sword, Arrod's bearing seemed very calm and composed.

"Watergast's neighbour is Pomerania, with whom my father had an alliance in the past, and I fear that Contuoyi will draw the Pomeranians into this war. If this is the case, then the number of troops that Kang Tuoyi can mobilize will be tens of thousands. Bilis said to the nobles in the conference hall, listening to his words, the nobles couldn't help but take a breath, what is the concept of tens of thousands of troops, this is almost the rhythm of a large war between kingdoms in Christendom.

"Will the Pomeranians really fight for Contope?" Arold frowned. If there is such a strong enemy eyeing it, it is really a problem to swallow Watergast, but the annexation of Watergast is the strategic goal of Arold's development of the territory to the east, because now only the east has a vast pagan land, which can not only fight in the name of fighting the pagan spread the gospel, but also obtain important manpower and land to increase its strength, and all Arold embarked on the road of eastward expansion of the Teutonic Knights in history.

"The chief of Pomerania is a cunning old fox, if he finds it profitable." Bilis, who was well aware of the Pomeranian chieftain's character, looked up at Arold on the lord's chair with suspicion and defiance in his eyes, as if to ask Arold if he had the guts to be an enemy of such a formidable adversary.

"Hahaha, Pomerania? It's funny, if they dare to come to war then come. Arold burst out laughing, with a relaxed look on his face and a look of contempt in his eyes, as if the Pomeranians were nothing more than scarecrows, and the nobles in the chamber smiled at the laughter of their own sovereign.

"Yes, filthy and weak heretics, we will use our sword and the will of the Lord to make them understand the fate of the Count." Baron Ron clenched his fists and slammed the wooden table hard, and said loudly to everyone.

"Ugh." Listening to Baron Ron's words, Billis, as a heretic, looked a little embarrassed, but who would care about his thoughts at this time.

"That's right, Baron Ron and Andrew, you must step up the training of the new army, and you must send troops to Watergast before the end of summer." Arold pointed to Baron Ron and Andrew.

"It's Lord Earl, but aren't we going to reinforce Lord Yve?" Baron Ron and Andrew the Mad asked.

"Don't worry, I'll send a cavalry unit as the vanguard to the border area of Watergast and Willle, so that those heretics will understand the pain of fighting against Mecklenburg." Arold knew that in order to achieve victory, he had to prepare as well as he could, and at the same time exhaust his enemies, and he already had a plan in mind.

"Oh, just cavalry?" Baron Ron knew that Arold had been training a cavalry unit, and the main members of the cavalry were the knights and squires of the Inner Palace, and these heavy cavalry, knights, and javelin cavalry combined amounted to a hundred, which could be said to be Arold's most elite cavalry unit.

"Yes, I will personally lead this cavalry force." Arold stood up, and he announced loudly to his courtiers.

"What? Lord Earl, this is too dangerous. The courtiers dissuaded.

"So decide." Arold didn't bother to explain to his courtiers, he ended the meeting with a wave of his hand, there were some tactics that were beyond the times that these nobles could understand.

Arrod's decision was swift, and he moved even more quickly, and when he had given his courtiers a task, he immediately began to gather his best hundred cavalry, all of them well-equipped and high-spirited, wearing a Germanic iron helmet, delicate chain mail, a smock with the coat of arms of Mecklenburg, the gauntlets of his hands glittering in the sun, and the sword at his waist straddling to his left.

"Gray Law ~~~." The war horse under Arold's crotch restlessly stepped on the ground with his hooves, and the owner on his back, Arold, turned his head to look at the main tower of the castle behind him, where Princess Josie was standing at the window mouth and beckoned to him, Arold's actions were so hurried that he didn't even say goodbye to his wife, looking at the pot-bellied Princess Josie Arold felt a little guilty, but the soldier was fast and Arold couldn't care much.

"Lord Earl, what can you do with a hundred men?" Billis also accompanied the army as a guide, wearing a Mecklenburg chain mail, but without a sword at his waist.

"Lord Bilis, you just need to do your job as a guide." Arold didn't say much to Bilis, he paused the reins in his hand, and the horses began to move slowly, and a hundred cavalry under Arrode's leadership left Mecklenburg and headed for Weller.

"The Earl is too anxious." Looking at Arold and the others who left Mecklenburg, Baron Ron said to Andrew beside him, to face thousands of enemies, Arold actually sent only a hundred cavalry, in this era anyone thinks this is an extremely risky thing, if this kind of thing is brave, it is more reckless, but the people of Mecklenburg have always felt the miracle of victory brought by Arrod, so there is no way to convince this wise young earl.

"Lord Earl always has his own unique ideas, so let's train the recruits as soon as possible, so as to help Lord Count achieve victory." Andrew, the madman, had a simple idea, and Arold's military merit system was very attractive to civilians like them, with a house and land of their own, and surrounded by servants, this kind of life was worth risking with his life.
