Arold looked at the messenger in front of him, only to see that he was wearing a half-worn chain mail, covered with a coat of arms of Baron Wendell, tied with a leather belt around his waist, and carrying a sword around his waist, he didn't expect the messenger to be a knight, it seems that Baron Wendell has been getting better and better day by day since he owned Fort Lida. The knight came up to Arrod, took off his helmet, and bowed deeply to Arold.

"Your Excellency Lord Count Mecklenburg, I have brought a message from your father, Lord Baron Wendell."

"Please." Arold nodded, indicating that he was listening, in ancient times there was no telephone communication, people could only convey information through letters and word of mouth, and in the continent of Europa, which was full of robbers and bandits, there was no safer and more reliable than a knight as a messenger.

"Your brother, Sir Eve, will have a wedding with Miss Josephine within this month, and your father has invited you to attend." The knight stated to Arold a message from Baron Wendell.

"Oh, Yves is finally going to marry Miss Josephine." Arjod was very happy for them, and he was very fond of Miss Josephine, a somewhat boyish girl, the kind of woman who could be a buddy, enthusiastic and bold and with her own ideas.

"Yes, there is one more thing that needs to be told to you in advance, so that the Earl can be prepared." The knight paused, allowing Arold to celebrate his family's happy event for a moment, and then spoke to him.

"What else?"

"Sir Abel has been made Earl of Mason by the Duke of Mason." The knight said something that seemed to have little to do with Arrod, although Sir Able was the first heir to the Duke of Mason. But it is strange that the Duke of Mason has never canonized him as an earl, and the corresponding domains, and it is said that the Count of Lauzitz played a key role in it, and the old duke has been oscillating between the Count of Lausitz and his own son.

"Sir Able, oh no, has the Earl of Able returned to the Duchy from the war that accompanied the royal family?" Arold asked curiously.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Earl of Mason has returned to the court of the Duke of Mason and assumed the post of Prime Minister, and at the same time he proposes the appointment of Baron Wendell as Military Governor."

"Isn't that a good thing? Being able to hold an important position in Duke Mason's court was something my father could only dream of. Arrode's eyebrows furrowed. This promotion and appointment of Count Abel was simply a confrontation with Count Lauzitz. And the Wendell family became the pawns of the Earl of Able, but this pawn was too tempting.

"Well, there is a rumor circulating in the court of the Duchy of Mason that the Count of Abel has also asked the Duke to let you. His Excellency the Count of Mecklenburg held the post of Minister. The knight thought for a moment. Continue to Arrod. Originally, this kind of gossip was not to be believed, but sometimes the gossip in the court was more true.

"Gong Xiang?" Arold did not expect that the Earl of Abel would nominate such an important position to himself, knowing the so-called palace minister. It is the supreme head who manages the court of Duke Mason, and one of the most important responsibilities is financial power.

However, in this way, the military and financial power of the Duchy of Mason was handed over to the Wendell family, which made Arrod a little frightened, perhaps in the eyes of the medieval aristocracy, this indicates that a family is moving towards prosperity and prosperity, but everyone who understands history of the Celestial Empire knows a few truths very well, prosperity must decline, things must be reversed, and merit is high.

"Please rest assured, if it is personally nominated by Count Able, the Duke is only thinking about it for the sake of prudence." The knight thought that Arrod's contemplation was a concern that he would not be able to obtain this important position, so he comforted him.

"Thank you for bringing this news." Anyway, Arold was grateful for the news, he had been preoccupied with the war with the Slavs, so he still ignored the political developments in the principality, and it seemed that Harvey should be asked to intensify his intelligence gathering in this area.

"Isn't this Sir Asa?" At this moment, Ron, who had his arm hanging from his chest, saw the messenger knight with an excited look on his face, and it seemed that they were old friends.

"Ron, what's wrong with you?" Sir Asa asked with concern as he looked at Ron's arm.

"Wounded on the battlefield." Sir Ron raised his arm proudly, he was a blood relative of Sir Asa, so he was especially happy to meet on the battlefield.

"Looks like you haven't seen each other for a long time, Ron took Sir Asa to find something to eat, he needs a good rest." Arold asked Ron to leave with Sir Asa, and he needed to think carefully about how to deal with the complicated situation in the Duchy of Mason, if Arold accepted the position of court minister, he would be involved in a political battle with the Earl of Lauzitz, but the benefits were obvious.

At this time, the catapult was ready, the commander reported to Arold, the catapult lined up majestically aimed at the castle, Arold looked at the guard on the castle with a calm face, raised his arm and waved it hard, only to hear a loud noise, the catapult threw the heavy stones towards the castle.

"Go and get Sir Ben and John Berg." Seeing that under his extremely powerful siege weapons, the guards on the castle suffered heavy casualties, Arold made a policy in his heart, Count Lauzitz was full of hostility to Arold and the Wendell family from the beginning, and he was also the nobleman whom Arold hated the most, since he had the opportunity to bring him down, of course he could not retreat.

"Lord Count, you summoned us?" Sir Ben and John Berg came to Arold's tent, and they saw the young commander sitting behind a wooden table, patiently waiting for their arrival.

"Yes, Sir Ben, Colonel Johnberg, my most loyal courtier, I have come to you for an important matter." Arold stood up from behind the wooden table, and Sir Ben and John Berg saw that Arold was not wearing armor, but only wearing a noble civilian clothes, which was particularly abrupt on the battlefield.

"Tell the Earl." Sir Ben and John Berg hurriedly said.

"I will immediately return to Mecklenburg Castle, my brother Yves will be married, and as the only brother, I will arrange for him to have a gift, so that the congratulations will not look shabby.

"I see, congratulations to you, Lord Earl." Sir Ben and John Berg listened and congratulated Arold.

"So, I'm going to leave you, my most loyal courtiers, here to command the assault on the castle of Rostock."

"Please rest assured, Lord Earl, the defenders of Rostock Castle have lost their fighting spirit, and it will only take a few days to take the castle." Sir Ben confidently assured Arrode.

"That's good, so that I can return to Mecklenburg Castle with peace of mind." After making arrangements on the battlefield, Arold immediately ordered his personal attendants to pack their tents and luggage, load them into carriages, and under the escort of the knights of the Inner Palace, Arold left the battlefield and set off for Mecklenburg Castle.

After a few days of saddle horseback fatigue, Arold finally returned to his own territory of Mecklenburg, and if he rode alone he could travel back and forth between the two realms in a day, but because of the heavy wagons, their journey was somewhat delayed, and as soon as they set foot in Mecklenburgshire, they were spotted by the rangers, and when they saw the banner of Arold himself, they consciously guarded Arold behind him until he was escorted to the castle.

"After a few days, our castle has prospered a lot." Sitting in the carriage, Arold looked at the streets that were divided under Mecklenburg Castle, and the houses and market sheds that had been erected on either side, and was very happy in his heart, and said to Sir Ron, who was sitting opposite him.

"Yes, Lord Earl, because you have abolished the toll tax, merchants like to do business here, so our realm is thriving." Sir Ron hung his arm, and it was not easy for him to win with one arm in order to subdue the arrogant Ward Warriors, but it also won Arrod's satisfaction.

"I just arrived, oh no, my family Wendell is a noble family in a country village, and the land that can be controlled is not far from this street, who would have thought that the son of such an insignificant aristocratic family would now be able to own the whole of Mecklenburg County." Arold looked at the black lion flag hanging on the carriage when people took off their hats and bowed to him, and couldn't help but say with emotion.

"Now it's two counties, Lord Earl, and Rostock will be yours when you take it." Ron reminded Arrode.

"Rostock is only half because I promised Ms. Marty that I would divide Rostock with her equally." Arrod propped his left arm on the carriage door, rested his head on it, and turned his face to Ron.

"Lord Earl, while it is a knight's virtue to obey credibility, is it necessary for us to keep our word to the heathen completely? After all, we played the biggest role in defeating Bilisi and taking Rostock, so we should also take all the loot. Ron asked Arrod in confusion.

"No, it's not just a matter of keeping a promise, I need Ms. Marty to be a buffer with the Grand Emirate of Mecklenburg." Arold smiled slightly, his body swayed because of the bumps of the carriage, if Harvey's intelligence was not wrong, Contoyi would definitely take the territory of Bilis, then the war with Contoyi was inevitable, and Arold's army had to be recuperated after several consecutive battles, so it was necessary for Marty and her Willers to be shields during the recuperation period, resisting the conflict between Contoyi and Arold.

After saying that, Arrod didn't care whether Ron could understand or not, turned his face to look at the scenery speeding by outside the carriage, beyond the noisy castle was the still desolate wilderness, a large territory waiting to be developed, and as a feudal nobleman, Arrod had to shift his vision from his own territory to the intricate court of his feudal lord, Duke Mason.
