Of course, miracles don't happen for no reason, Arold did defeat the invasion of the Viking warriors This success simply made the nobles of the Duchy of Mason smack, but then there was a little embarrassment, that is, they were originally here to help Arold defeat the Viking invasion, but now that the Mecklenburgers have done the work, what are they still doing here? Just disband and go home.

"Now that Lord Count Mecklenburg has driven the Viking warriors away, does that mean we can disband the army?" Duke Abel voiced the hearts of the people, after all, every time the vassals gathered an army, it was a loss of their own property to them.

"Not really, noble nobles, let us enter the tower first, and discuss the matter while we enjoy the feast." Arrod, of course, would not let this formidable army disappear like this, and he pointed to the gate of the main tower and invited the Duke of Able and the other nobles to enter.

"Ding Dong~~~Ding Dong~~~." When the Duke of Abel and the nobles of the Duchy of Mason stepped into the main tower, the beautiful sound of harps and flutes sounded in the tower, and the melodious music came from above their heads, making the nobles of the Duchy of Mason involuntarily raise their heads.

I saw that in the corridor on the second floor of the hall of the lord, a group of musical artists sat on a bench overlooking the hall of the lord, holding their respective instruments in their hands, playing and playing the instruments intently, and the melodious music surrounded the hall from here, and the three long wooden tables in the hall on the first floor were covered with black and blue tablecloths. There was also a variety of rich food on it, wooden tables surrounded by attendants and servants with flasks waiting for the nobles, bright flowers were placed in pottery one by one, and then placed around the hall, the fragrant fragrance of the flowers intoxicated the people, and the wonderful sight was as if it were enjoyed in the courtyard.

"Oh~~." The nobles let out a cry of amazement, such a lavish banquet they had never experienced in their lives, like hillbillies, knowing that this was the ruler of the entire Duchy of Mason. You can enjoy almost the finest things in the Principality of Mason. But this well-planned banquet is truly like a wonderland.

"Wow, how beautiful, how fragrant~~~." Princess Josie said with a happy face, women have no resistance to things like flowers. I saw the whole hall decorated like a fairyland. She jumped forward with joy. Sniffing the fragrant flowers, she discovered that they were planted directly in clay pots, which contained fresh, moist soil. Although the aristocracy would put pottery on special cabinet shelves to show their wealth, it was simply extravagant for Arold to fill clay pots with clay and grow flowers.

"Grow flowers in clay pots?" Not only Princess Josie, but also the other nobles of the Duchy of Mason smacked their tongues, and the Duke of Abel was also dumbfounded, this is simply a blatant show-off, in fact, they completely misunderstood Arold, these clay pots were made in the smelting base of Mecklenburg, because Arold once watched a historical documentary on the development of pottery in the Celestial Empire on TV, and remembered some of the methods of how to make zuò pottery with clay, as well as the kind of wooden wheel that can be turned by manpower to make zuò pottery, So Arold wanted to make Mecklenburg's own pottery specialties and sell them as a commodity to other nobles.

Mecklenburg, near the coast and with the river, can excavate a large amount of clay, these are the basic conditions for Arold to try to make Mecklenburg specialties, and the smelting kilns and mature craftsmen in the smelting base when idle also provide him with the necessary conditions, although the design of these pottery is monotonous, but it is true that the first primitive pottery shape, Arold used these Mecklenburg original pottery as flower pots in front of the Mason nobles attending the banquet, and there is also a meaning of advertising benefits in it.

"Your Excellency the Duke, please." Arold welcomed the Duke of Abel to his original seat, because of the Duke of Abel's monarchy, and he sat on the left hand side of the Duke of Ebel, and Princess Josie sat on the right hand side of the Duke of Ebel, they sat like heroes and heroines in fairy tales, sitting in the main tower of the castle built of stone, and behind the wooden tables on both sides were the nobles of the Duchy of Mason.

When the Duke of Abel and the nobles sat down, the attendants and servants shuttled back and forth to fill the wine glasses for them and present food, after the Duke of Abel raised the wine glass and gave a simple blessing, after the people finished praying, the melody of the monks of St. Jom began to eat in the Mecklenburg castle to the melody of the monks of St. Jom singing the Bible chapters, these delicious food made the nobles very satisfied, and when each nobleman ate the food on his plate, there were servants who immediately filled the inside, It's as if they never know how to be satisfied.

"Lord Arrod, you haven't told us what to do next?" Count Prohn took his glass, munched on the bacon, and before he had time to wipe his greasy hands, he said to Arold that the young count had been rescued by Julian, whom Arrhode had sent to penetrate into the enemy's interior, and therefore had a closer friendship with Arold than the other nobles.

"Yes, Arrod, is this lavish banquet for the purpose of dismissing the noble army of the Duchy of Mason?" The Duke of Abel also followed suit, in Duke Ebel's opinion, such a sumptuous and luxurious banquet would definitely cost a lot of money, and it would be reasonable to apologize to the nobles who came to the rescue.

"Luxury?" Arod was a little confused, for in his opinion it was just an ordinary banquet, he swallowed a mouthful of ham and took a sip of mead, before he replied to Duke Abel, "Your Excellency Duke, there is no need for us to disband our army. ”

"Oh? But you have already defended yourself against the Vikings, and with so many troops staying here, can you afford to feed so many troops? Duke Abel held his chin and said, although these soldiers who were called by their feudal lords had prepared dry food by themselves, but after all, the dry food they prepared was carried by themselves, and the amount was limited, and they were almost eaten up on the march, so if they were stationed outside Mecklenburg Castle, in order to prevent these soldiers from doing things out of the ordinary under hunger, Arold had to bear most of the food, of course, if the Viking warriors invaded the territory, the general lord's approach was to urge these soldiers to fightin order to relieve the pressure on their own food supply, but now there is no opponent, and the opponent has been driven out by the Mecklenburgers.

"No, the Viking warriors have not been completely defeated, I have received information from the captured Viking warriors, and their leader is the Danish king Banuk." Arold said to Duke Abel.

"Banuk, King of Denmark, is nothing more than a pagan king." Duke Abel nodded, and said casually, for Christians, outside of Christendom, it is a barbarian land.

"Yes, but dangerously, his plan is not just to take over a territory in Christendom, and that is his ambition, so I dare to think that the best defense is to attack, and we will attack the territory of the King of Denmark and turn the Danish territory into the land of the Duchy of Mason." Arold looked into the eyes of Duke Abel and said in a sonorous voice, at this time all the music stopped, and the noise of the nobles was quiet, and only Arold's majestic voice could be heard echoing in the lord's hall.

"Attack the territory of the northerners, hiss~~." Duke Able's brow furrowed, this plan was too bold, they had no experience with these wild lands, and they didn't even know where they were, so he expressed his doubts to General Arrod.

"Don't worry about my lord, I've been prepared, I'm coming." If the Duke of Abel and the nobles of the Duchy of Mason did not know anything about the Danish terrain, but Arold knew everything about it, and he did not need to send explorers and spies at all, he beckoned the two attendants to bring out a roll of parchment, and when the parchment was displayed in front of the nobles of Mason, it was a topographic map, a topographic map of Denmark.

"How did you get this thing?" Duke Abel looked at the map, he couldn't believe that this was really a map of Denmark, and he couldn't help but feel afraid of Arrod's unfathomability, how did Arold get it unconsciously.

"Oh, my dictation from the Viking captives is gradually piecing together." Arold gave a more plausible explanation, and then pointed to the narrow Schleswig county in the map, next to which there were three islands, two of which were the Isles of Sealand, "If we attack Schleswig, we will inevitably force the Danish king to fight us in Schleswig, his lair, from his lair, the Isles of Sealand, and turn a passive defense into an active attack." ”

"What if the King of Denmark ignores our attack?" Duke Abel thought for a moment and asked, and at this time the other nobles also stopped their meal, and gathered around to look down at the simple but important map.

"Then we will take the opportunity to capture the county of Schleswig, and build a castle there, across the sea from the island of Sealand." Arold said with a smile.

"It's like a fishbone in the throat of the King of Denmark." Count Prohn clapped his hands and applauded, and the other nobles thought of the Danish lands on the map. (To be continued......)
