Section 60 Pigeon

After Kang Tuoyi got the news that the temple was ransacked, he was immediately furious, if he was still hiding in the castle at this time, not to mention that the nobles would not forgive him even ordinary believers, Kang Tuoyi immediately ordered the soldiers in the castle to gather, except for the old, weak and wounded soldiers, a total of 2,500 capable soldiers were selected, and then he led the army to the direction of the temple, but Kang Tuoyi knew that Arold would definitely not stay there without moving, he was a little restless on his horse, Because there was really no way to capture the cavalry of Mecklenburg, these cavalry were like weasels in a burrow, they didn't know where they could come from, and what was even more strange was that they knew the terrain of Watergast very well.

"It must be Bilisy helping them." Soon Kang Tuoyi figured out the joints, but after thinking clearly, he couldn't help but hesitate to move forward, although he knew very well that only one person between himself and Billis could survive, but when he really faced Billis, he was a little weak.

"What did you say, Lord Kang Tuoyi?" Calvin asked curiously, they were only a horse's body away from each other, and the road that had just rained was muddy, but in order to destroy the enemy as best they could, they did not bring heavy wagons, otherwise it was unknown how the wagon would have ended up on this terrible road.

"No, nothing, send soldiers with horses to the front to reconnoiter more, and beware of the ambush of the Mecklenburgers." Kang Tuoyi's thoughts were interrupted by Chief Calvin, and he took a deep breath to adjust his mentality, now that he had on his shoulders the revival of the Great Emirate of Mecklenburg, and the happiness of Lady Angelia, he was not allowed to be distracted by other matters.

The 2,500 soldiers led by Kang Tuoyi finally arrived at the temple after half a day, but they saw nothing but the looted ruins of the temple and the unextinguished flames that had not yet been extinguished. It was the corpses of the Slavs on the ground, the noble priests who had been nailed to the crosses erected at the door, and who looked to be in agony before they died.

"These damned infidels, they desecrate our temple." All the Slavs who saw this were so angry that they trembled if the Mecklenburgs appeared before them. Definitely fight for your life immediately.

"It was Bilis who brought these vicious infidels." Kang Tuoyi glanced at the miserable face of the temple, kicked the horse under his crotch with his heel, walked up to the soldiers, and said loudly to them.

"Buzz~~~." After all, Billis was once the lord of Watergast County, although these soldiers are now rebelling against Billisie under the leadership of the nobles, but they have always been in a weak position psychologically, you must know that people in this era pay more attention to tradition and blood.

"That's right. Bilis, in order to regain his power, did not hesitate to collude with the infidels, and now this is their masterpiece, and we spit on them, and we spit on Bilis, who is not worthy of his blood. The Calvin leader immediately understood what Kang Tuoyi meant, he took off his helmet and waved it in his hand, and said excitedly. Finally, he spat at the ground fiercely, showing his disdain for Bilis.

"We spit on him. Bah. Listening to the words of the two chiefs, and the tragic situation in front of them, the Slavic soldiers' sense of tribal belonging and religious sentiment was mobilized, and they hated Bilis, who had colluded with outsiders, and at this time there was no longer any hesitation in their hearts, and they cursed and spit on the former majestic and inviolable lord of Bilis.

"Yes." Kang Tuoyi nodded with satisfaction. The miserable situation of the temple is irreparable, but turning this passive situation into a morale-boosting soldier is a clever move.

The Javelinmen sent by Arold saw the army walking the muddy waterghast county like a black line from afar, and immediately reported to Arold, who was hiding in the hills. Knowing very well that the 100 cavalry troops he had fallen could not directly confront an army of more than 2,000 men, he immediately led the cavalry to bypass Kang Tuoyi's army, and took a zigzag route towards the border of Weller, their speed was a little slow, after all, each horse carried a large amount of jewels and gold.

If one looks at the land from the air, one will find that there are four armies marching on the Baltic coast at this time, among which the cavalry led by Arold is the fastest, and they are approaching the vicinity of Wille, while the 2,500 men led by Kang Tuoyi are hovering near the temple, but soon the whereabouts of Arold are obtained from the scattered villagers and travelers, so they also advance in the direction of Wille, and the new army corps from Mecklenburg marches all the way east straight towards Willeburg.

But the most strange and strange thing was the largest army, an army of five thousand men from the Great Emirate of Pomerania, who first entered the territory of Brandenburg, and the appearance of such a large army made the Duke of Brandenburg very nervous, and the duke, who had just been appointed by Henry the Bird, immediately shrank his forces into the fortified castle, and the villagers from all over the country immediately hid in the castle if they were close to Brandenburg, and those who were too late abandoned the village and hid in the forest.

"Send our fastest horses to Aya to report that His Majesty the King has invaded our territory." The Duke of Brandenburg, who was apprehensive, said to his men, but was stopped by his own minister.

"Your Excellency, we have not received any news of the Pomeranian going to war with us, nor has His Majesty the King ordered to go to war, perhaps this army is just transiting."

"Transit?" The Duke of Brandenburg asked in surprise.

"That's right, it is said that in the north the Count of Mecklenburg is inseparable from the Slavs, and the Pomeranians have allied with the Slavs, so they must have crossed the border to attack Mecklenburg." The old court minister had accurately judged the Pomeranian intentions, and he explained to the duke.

"It would be great if it was just a crossing, we have just built a castle, and many places are not yet perfect, if we are attacked by this army, we will definitely be left with no corpses." Brandenburg had just recently been taken from the Slavs by the royal family, and Henry the Bird Catcher had given this important fiefdom to Ludwood I.

"Shall we send a message to the Count of Mecklenburg about the movements of the Pomeranians?" The old palace minister knew that his monarch could get this fertile land, and he would never give it up, and it was foreseeable that as long as he managed it well. This land will be the cornerstone of the family.

"No, let's not do anything superfluous, just let them pass quietly, we won't do anything." Ludwood I, Duke of Brandenburg, raised his finger and commanded the court minister that he had no dealings with the Count of Mecklenburg. It is impossible to offend the Pomeranians for the sake of the Count of Mecklenburg, not to mention that the Mecklenburgers will not be able to hold out for long under such a large army offensive.

The Duke of Brandenburg stayed in his castle and did nothing, but a small caravan hiding from the battle in the castle kept an eye on the mighty Pomeranians, whose leaders looked at the mighty army that was not like an army crossing the border but like a tribe moving from the borders of the Roman Empire, but since the time of the Roman Empire, these barbarians have migrated like dominoes to the original Roman Empire.

"Are there still carrier pigeons?" The caravan leader asked his companions.

"There's another one." The merchants, who usually wore hoods to protect themselves from the sun and the wind, walked up to one of the caravans' wagons and lifted a dirty, coarse linen covering. In addition to some messy goods, there is also a cage with a cooing pigeon inside, the pigeon does not attract people's attention, and usually merchants will travel long distances to trade, sometimes bringing some live poultry for fresh meat.

"Okay, we have to report the situation to Mecklenburg." The merchant leader hurriedly turned his back and hurriedly wrote some symbols on a strip of coarse linen. The strips of cloth are then rolled up and stuffed into the hoops on the pigeon's legs.

"Let's fly in the evening." In order not to attract the attention of the guards in Brandenburg, they decided to release the pigeons at night. Although Brandenburg belonged to the same Germanic race, the various principalities did not necessarily have a harmonious relationship with each other, and once they were caught as spies, they would not hesitate to be imprisoned in a dungeon or even executed.

At night, the Brandenburg guard, who had been on guard for a day, yawned and leaned against the cold arrow tower wall with the halberd in his hand, and the guard's head became heavier and heavier when sleepiness hit. His eyelids were unconsciously closed, but a fluttering sound made the alert Brandenburg guard look up in a daze, but he poked out of the window of the turret and found nothing.

"That's it, let's hope Mecklenburg will be prepared." The caravan leader leaned against the wall. He was a member of Mecklenburg's spy group, the Blooddrops, and in fact they did trade between Mecklenburg and the southern countries, and their funds were secretly supported by Count Arrod, Mecklenburg, who mainly purchased black stones for Mecklenburg and sold special products, but also provided information for Mecklenburg in addition to business, and there were three caravans in total.

The warning from the blood droplets was quickly received by Mecklenburg, who was very fortunate to provide such important information at least three pigeons at the same time, because they were afraid that some pigeons would be preyed upon by birds of prey or get lost, so if three pigeons were released at the same time, they could maximize the chance of the pigeon delivering the information.

"Ping Pong Ping Pong ~~~." Footsteps sounded in the hall of the lord, when Arold was not in Mecklenburg, as Arold's wife, Princess Josie would take on the responsibility of the lord, but because Princess Josie was pregnant, this responsibility was not heavy and was just a routine ritual, and the specific affairs would be handed over to the courtiers who stayed behind.

"What's wrong?" Brother Elvet, the palace minister, was reporting to Princess Josie about the new population in the realm, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard the sound of fast footsteps echoing in the hall, Brother Elvet had been sent by Arold to help Ives take care of the territory, but because of the resurgence of war, he was recalled to preside over the court.

"Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, the Pomeranians are leading an army of five thousand men to swoop towards Mecklenburg." The pigeon keeper who was in charge of receiving information about the carrier pigeon said breathlessly.

"What?" Suddenly the courtiers in the hall panicked, at this time Mecklenburg's army had already set off for Willeburg, Arold was not in the castle, Count Yves led the Teutonic Knights to fight in Watergast, it can be said that the nobles who could afford the heavy responsibilities in Mecklenburg were not there, and most of the people left were clerical ministers like Brother Elvet and Soros.

"Brother Elvet, how many soldiers do we have left now?" Princess Josie sat on the throne of the lord with a big belly, although she was also very surprised that the Pomeranians would suddenly lead a large army to attack Mecklenburg, but Princess Josie, who had lived in the court since she was a child, knew that as a ruler at this time, she could not panic, she tried her best to suppress the panic in her heart, put her two slender arms on the armrest of the throne, leaned forward as much as possible, and asked Brother Elvet, the palace minister.

"Oh, Your Highness Princess, we now have only seventy-five halberders in the Mecklenburg guardhouse, but the armor soldiers set up by Lord Count in the village outside the castle can still muster a hundred, and there are no other troops." Brother Elvet stretched out his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, his lips trembling.

"One hundred and seventy-five soldiers?" Princess Josie's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her fists couldn't help clenching, the number of one hundred and seventy-five soldiers was too different for five thousand Pomeranians.

"Hiss~~~." The courtiers in the hall found it extremely tricky, but no one could do it, and the soldiers were not conjurious.

"My lords, my husband, your sovereign, Count Arrod of Mecklenburg. Lord Wendell, hand over this castle to us to guard when we leave, and we must unite to protect our home. Princess Josie struggled to stand up, her bulging belly almost making her lose her balance, but the lady-in-waiting standing behind the princess hurriedly supported her.

"Your Highness the Princess, we will definitely defend Mecklenburg with all our might." The courtiers saw the beautiful princess's strong countenance and sonorous voice, and from the skylight above, there happened to be a ray of sunlight shining in at this time, and the light was shining on Princess Josie's body, and the white dress shone with a brilliance that could not be seen directly, and a few doves cooed and landed on the skylight, and the white wings instigated the fall of a few feathers.
