Hearing the sound of the weapon unsheathed, the emissary's face became solemn, and the Mecklenburg soldiers also faced both sides, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately became tense.

"Bold guys, do you know who I am? You boys who haven't grown all their hair dare to raise troops to invade my fortress, I really don't want to live anymore, and now I still want to mention peace talks, don't dream. The Duke of Bavaria snorted coldly and said to Arryd's messenger.

"Lord Duke, my monarch is the Duke of Mecklenburg, who is confirmed by the royal family, and this time he also accepted the king's order to investigate the disappearance of Duke Mason, and it was your arrogance that caused the dispute between the two clans." The envoy took a step forward with his head held high, and said to the Duke of Bavaria in a sonorous voice.

"Don't use the king to press me, that lucky fellow who is about to die at any moment, if he hadn't bribed the other bishops and dukes, how could the king's crown have fallen on the head of a guy who plays canary all day." The Duke of Bavaria cursed and regretted the passing of the crown, but the king's prestige did calm the Duke of Bavaria, and he waved at his soldiers.

"Brush." The Bavarian soldiers reinserted their swords into their scabbards and retreated between the columns as if nothing had happened.

"Lord Duke, what do you think about peace talks?" The envoy reiterated to the Duke of Bavaria.

"Hmph, let Arold compensate me for all the losses of my border fort, and I will pay a thousand silver coins, Arold and his army will lay down their arms and carry their flags and leave. And Arold himself wants to recognize half of my rights to the Duchy of Mason, and this is for the sake of the king's face, and I can offer the best terms for peace talks. The Duke of Bavaria sat down in his chair, picked up a glass of wine, and said as he drank it.

"The land of the Duchy of Mason, my sovereign has no right to make a promise." The messenger immediately retorted.

"Don't think we don't know. Arold's wife is Mason's eldest princess, and his eldest son, William, will be the first in line to the throne after the death of Duke Mason, who has no heir, and Arold himself will become regent. Brother Robert stood up and said to the messenger.

"That's right. That's it, now the Duchy of Mason is like your monarch's. The Duke of Bavaria drunkenly pointed to Brother Robert and said to the messenger.

"Lord Duke, how do you know that Lord Mason is dead?" The messenger's gaze sharpened, and he looked at the drunken Duke of Bavaria and Brother Robert in front of him, who was stunned, and it was obvious that they had said the wrong thing.

"Oh, our spies saw Duke Mason's body being transported into the fort." The Duke of Bavaria immediately said to the messenger.

"That's a coincidence, Lord Duke's condition about you. I will report to my sovereign. The envoy bowed to the Duke of Bavaria and said that he wanted to return to the border fort.

"Lord Duke?" Brother Robert looked at the Duke of Bavaria with some concern, but the Duke of Bavaria waved his hand nonchalantly, and the soldiers let the messenger leave.

The envoy and his entourage quickly rode away, and returned to the border fort to report to Arold and others about the terms of the peace talks, the conditions were extremely harsh, and Arold could not take out a thousand silver coins, but once it was delivered, it became a laughing stock. Not to mention the territorial issue of the Duchy of Mason.

"I bet the Duke, the Bavarians had absolutely nothing to do with the death of Duke Mason." The messenger was an officer of the Mecklenburg Regiment under Arrod. He determined that the Bavarians had devised a scheme that led to a conflict between Mecklenburg and Mason.

"It's not going to end here, but now we have to find a way to get out of here." Arold felt that his goal had been achieved, and there was no need to waste his military forces here, and of course he could not accept the harsh conditions of the Duke of Bavaria.

At the same time. The Duke of Bavaria, who had finally woken up, gathered his nobles and generals to discuss matters in the chamber.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that kid is so frightened that he pees his pants, he actually sent an envoy to ask for peace talks." The Duke of Bavaria was dressed in a military uniform. The red cloak behind him looked imposing, and he placed his sword on the conference table and said to his men.

"Lord Duke, we should immediately lead our troops to kill the Mecklenburgers and surround the fortress."

"Yes, that's right, this time we are going to gather more troops than last time and destroy them once and for all."

"Yes, you're right, but it will take time to gather more soldiers." The Duke of Bavaria touched his beard and said hesitantly.

"Don't worry about the Duke, since Arold has proposed peace talks, then they will definitely keep negotiating terms with us, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered." Brother Robert also rose to the court of the Duke of Bavaria at this time, became the court chaplain of the Duke of Bavaria, and became an official courtier, all in return for his contribution to the death of Duke Mason.

"Brother Robert is right, they'll definitely wait, and we'll gather more troops and keep them coming back." The Duke of Bavaria nodded with satisfaction.

However, things did not go according to the plan of the Duke of Bavaria and his courtiers, and while they leisurely sent heralds to gather the soldiers in the fiefdom, they waited for the Mecklenburgers to send another emissary, but the emissary never came.

"Lord Duke, it's not good, the Mecklenburgers they, they." As the scout hurried back to the castle, he said to the Duke of Bavaria.

"What's wrong?" The Duke of Bavaria turned from the conference table, with a map of the border fort area in front of him, and he and the general were placing the sculptures of soldiers in several positions, making a gesture of encircling the attack.

"The Mecklenburgers burned the border fort and retreated to the north." The Scout said breathlessly.

"What?" The Duke of Bavaria heard a buzzing in his head, no one would do such a ridiculous thing, you must know that in this era to occupy a castle or fortress, it means to control a piece of land, to burn a fortress means to give up land possession, and to build a fortress takes a lot of time and manpower, which is a very incredible thing in the Middle Ages, when there was a lack of manpower.

"Damn it." Brother Robert's brows furrowed, he didn't expect Arold to give up the land in his hands, you must know that not everyone will let go of the land in their hands, but it is very wise to think about it carefully, first of all, the border fort is in the Duchy of Bavaria, and it will be attacked by the Duke of Bavaria at any time, anyway, it is the Bavarian fortress that is burned, and the Mecklenburgers only need to withdraw their territory.

"I'm going to slaughter this bastard with my own hands." The Duke of Bavaria was completely enraged, and he clenched his fists angrily. (To be continued......)
