After fighting with the Vikings, Arold gathered his courtiers to conduct post-war summaries and consultations in Mecklenburg, and Arold consciously wanted to cultivate a tradition of post-war experience summarization.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this Viking attack has caused our port to suffer, but thanks to your efforts, we have finally defeated them, but the Viking attack will never stop, they will continue to invade our territory like wolves, what do you do about this?" Arold sat down in his lord's chair and spoke to the courtiers standing on either side below.

"Lord Earl, it is a good move for you to build a tower in the harbor first, and to defend against the attack of the Viking knights, although you have suffered some losses, but these are suddenly insignificant compared to the previous history." Brother Elvet stepped out and said respectfully to Arrod.

"I would like to hear more inadequacy and criticism than flattery, my courtier, Brother Elvet." Arold waved at Brother Elvet, he hoped to find more shortcomings, and in the face of the powerful Viking warriors, Arold was indeed a little surprised.

"The tower's defenses are still not enough, Lord Earl, the first floor of one tower has been breached, and if it weren't for the ladder, a brick tower you've worked so hard to build would become a stronghold for the Vikings, which is really dangerous." Deputy Head of Mission John Berg pointed out the deficiencies to Arrod.

"That's because the soldiers inside the tower are inexperienced, mostly recruits. If it weren't for the defense of the bed crossbow and the cross crossbow, we might have been able to overcome it before we even arrived. Sir Ron said.

"The soldiers are inexperienced and not vigilant enough to deal with the crisis, and we need to conduct military training once a month in the future to make up for it, and I wrote it down." Arold said to a monk standing beside him, who stood to his left and there was a writing table, which was dipped in ink and writing quickly with a quill pen.

"We must set up a cavalry patrol, and this time we have no idea where the Viking warriors have landed. This is a heavy dà mistake. Maybe I'm not as rich in military affairs as Lord John Berg is as much as Sir Ron, but it's a shame to let Viking warriors land on our domain. Brother Elvet said with a frown and shaking his head.

"Our coastline is an open door for the Vikings, and we must build a fleet." Arold rubbed his hands together. He agreed that the only way to defeat the Vikings was to keep them out of the country. The best thing to do is to destroy the Vikings with a fleet.

"Fleet?" The other courtiers were puzzled. This way of thinking and strategizing is far beyond their heads, and they feel strange and new.

"Yes fleet, I know that there are many merchant ships in our harbor. Brother Elvet I need you to gather those merchants, call up their ships and sailors, and of course I will pay a certain amount after the war to make up for their losses. Arold ordered Brother Elvet.

"Yes, my Earl, but I'm worried about whether they're a match for the Vikings." Brother Elvet cautiously reminded Arold that the Viking warriors were the best at sea, otherwise they would not have been able to cross the Baltic Sea and raid and invade Mecklenburg.

"Does John Berg remember how I defeated the Duke of Bohemia?" Arold was not on a whim, he remembered seeing a movie in his previous life about how the Byzantines defeated the Arab navy, and how the Viking ships were nothing compared to the mighty Arab Empire.

"You mean~~." John Berg didn't understand why Arold would suddenly bring it up, of course he knew how Arold defeated the Duke of Bohemia, Arold led the Bohemians into a narrow basin, and then when the Bohemians were crowded, he used his unique fire-breathing monster car to spew flames, causing the Bohemian army to collapse, could it be that Arold wanted to attack the other Viking warriors with fire, his eyes lit up at this thought.

"That's right, I'm going to attack with fire." Arold knew that his flamethrower was not afraid of the sea at all, no, even like the Greek fire, it had more advantages on the sea, the difference was only how to operate, he only needed to install the flamethrower at the tail end of the ship, and when the Vikings pursued, the flamethrower would launch the Greek fire that could burn the seawater, and it would make the ships full of Viking warriors burn, so as to achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight.

"God, Lord Count wants you to know what you're doing?" Brother Elvet involuntarily drew a cross on his chest, he could not understand Arrod's thoughts, but he knew that Arold had always had his own way of dealing with it, so he still did as he was ordered to gather the merchants in the harbor.

Fitch. Carl's grain merchant from West Friesland was very strange when he received this order along with the other merchants, but he did not have the slightest affection for the Viking warriors, and if he had not escaped the robbery by going to the town of Mecklenburg to buy grain on the night of the Krazer raid, he would have been killed by the Viking warriors, but some of his friends were not as lucky as him, so when Arold eliminated the small group of Viking warriors who raided Mecklenburg, He excitedly invited everyone to drink in the taverns in town.

"Lord Earl wants to recruit our ships? But we are not under the jurisdiction of the Earl, and our ships are the property of the merchants' guilds and their own individuals. "Feige. Karl pleaded with Brother Elvet.

"I know, but these are extraordinary times, and the Viking warriors are showing signs of heading south, so think about it, if the Earl can't stop those terrible Viking warriors, then your lives and property will be lost." Brother Elvet sat down in his seat and spoke patiently to the merchants.

"But, but we." Fitch. Karl hesitated, there was no precedent for nobles to recruit merchant property to be returned, and he was worried that his hard-earned fortune would be lost.

"Don't worry, Lord Earl will compensate you after the war." Brother Elvet comforted them. (To be continued......)
