The iron plate carried by the little attendants made everyone curious, and they all guessed what was under the iron lid, but soon they did not have to guess, and when the iron lid was opened, a sweet smell permeated the whole hall, and in the iron platter was a large and exquisite pastry, with a base of toasted brown bread, and covered with bright red raspberries, which were already mouth-watering before they had eaten it.

When this exquisite bread appeared on everyone's plate, it conquered everyone, and when Arold curiously asked who made this exquisite bread, the little attendants took the opportunity to call Laila to tell Sù Arold that the person who made the zuò was this girl, Arold originally thought that Leila was good at cultivating honey, but she didn't expect to be very good at baking.

"Earl, bread is easier to preserve than any other food, easy to make, and can be used to the full extent of precious wheat flour, so we should build more bread bakeries in the castle." Harun said to Arold.

"Well, that's right, I'll decide your mention after consulting with the courtiers." Arold looked at this attendant who had been with him for the longest time with appreciation, but he didn't expect that he had such a global and subtle observation, which showed that he was a malleable talent.

"Thank you, Lord Count." Harlan was appreciated by Arrod and felt incomparably honored, and when he stepped back, he couldn't help but cast a friendly and grateful look at Sean who was hiding in the corner with his arms in his arms.

While Arold was entertaining the wandering knights, in the palace of the King of Denmark, Kreeser was being honest with the king of the Sealand Peninsula, and they were indeed honest with each other. Kraser's hair was almost soaked with sweat, his nose was panting, his eyes were staring straight ahead, and the King of Denmark opposite him, with an eerie smile on his face, picked up a bucket of water next to him.

"Oh no, that's just too much." Kraser's face changed, and he stood up sharply, trying to dodge but there was no escape from the stone walls all around.

"Brush~~~." Suddenly, a thick white mist rose, and Kreezer and the Danish king Knumba had unclothed bodies. It's almost boiled red. It's like a cooked lobster.

"Smack~~~." The small wooden door opened, and Frazer rushed out first, the cold wind outside blowing on his red skin, which immediately cooled his body.

"Wowhaha. I can't even stand a steam bath. How can you be considered a real Viking? "King Knuba of Denmark was wrapped in a coarse linen cloth underneath. He strode out of it, his face turned red from his face to his feet, and the Vikings who were guarding the vikings looked curiously when they heard the movement. But when they saw the appearance of the wolf Bèi of Krezer, they laughed at each other and knew that their king was playing tricks again.

"My Majesty, if you're going to kill me or use a knife faster, I don't want to be a boiled lamb." Krazer gasped and said, this is a natural cave, the Danes installed a wooden door at the mouth of the cave, dug a fire pit and piled up many pebbles, when the fire pit burned, the Danes in the cave poured water on it, the water mist raised the temperature in the cave, and the people inside enjoyed a completely different temperature from the ice and snow outside.

"Alright, let's get down to business." King Knumba of Denmark took the fur coat handed over by the palace guards and draped it over his body, he sat down on a large stone beside him, and said to Kreeser with a stern face.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Krezer stood up and wrapped one of his animal skin cloaks around his body, the cold wind from the far north.

"How many men do you think will be needed if you want to attack and take Mecklenburg?"

"Your Majesty, it is said that there are about five hundred to eight hundred warriors under Arrod in Mecklenburg, and we only need to recruit one or two thousand men to take this county." Krezer confidently said to Knuba, but he only got this information from Count Lauz, and it was obvious that in order to attract these greedy pirates, Count Lauzitz had obviously reduced Arold's power a lot.

"I am not worried about the southerners, but I am afraid that the county of Mecklenburg will not be strong enough to get the chiefs and freedmen to agree to attack, knowing that there is really nothing to rob except for a few hard-working slaves." The Danish king Knuba frowned and said that the social system of the Vikings was composed of the nobles, the warrior class and the freedmen who had a share of the land, and the lowest slaves, and any important decisions of their were decided by the council of the tribes, which was composed of the warrior class and the freemen, and even the king and the ruler were not allowed to change the decisions of the council at will.

Before Knuba decided to go to war and loot, he had to go through the agenda of this primitive democracy, so he had to get information from Krezer that the county was worth plundering, so that he could convince the greedy warriors and freemen.

"Definitely worth it for my majesty." Kreeser firmly said to the Danish king Knumba that he would convince Knumba even if he was hard-headed.

"Well, I agree, hopefully at the tribal meeting you will be able to convince our people too." Knuba took a breath of cold wind, the weather was a little bad this year, the crops in the farm were attacked by the cold wind and died, he had to get a lot of supplies before the winter to ensure that his tribesmen survived the winter, otherwise I really don't know how those starving tribesmen would deal with him.

Knuba's raiding cavalry marched out of the territory with his orders, and they were to bring the orders that Knuba had summoned to the Danes who lived on the Sealand Peninsula, and the cavalry rode on horseback and galloped over the frozen ground, almost covering the dense tall fir trees overhead, where the stoic Danes lived, and the rolling mountains were covered with snow, and the cavalry searched everywhere for the Danish tribes of settlements.

Even if he sent all his raiding cavalry, less than two-thirds of the vassals of the Danish king Knumba were ordered, and they immediately took their trusted companions and marched in the direction of the palace of the king of Denmark, which was good news for these people, because according to custom, the king of Denmark would entertain the visits of these nobles, and feast and drink in his humble palace for three days, but from the dispatch of the messenger to the gathering of the vassals, half a month gradually passed, On the other side of the sea, the Mecklenburgers were intensifying their preparations for war, and Arold did not let his guard down for a moment.

"Nail down the stakes on the banks of the river where the enemy is likely to land, make sure that the places where they are likely to land are reduced, and build three pillboxes in the harbor first." Arold said to his entourage as he inspected the coast. (To be continued......)
