"Crackling~~~." The bed crossbow in the tower shot stones at the Vikings, these pebbles were easy to obtain, and a few barrels were stored on the tower, but they were lethal enough for the Vikings, and it was possible to kill people if they hit the head or vital parts, and the pebbles rained down on the ground or hit the shield with a crackling sound.

"Shield Wall." Krizer commanded loudly, he held his shield high to avoid a pebble, but these stones would never stop his steps, the Vikings who heard the order gathered one after another, built a shield wall with the wooden shield in their hands, and slowly approached the direction of the tower, occasionally someone was hit in the leg by the pebble, and fell to his knees with a scream, but his gap was immediately filled by the people behind him with a shield.

"It's worthy of being a Norse berserker, so don't you be afraid, hasn't the wolf smoke risen yet?" Andrew's eyes narrowed involuntarily, he didn't expect that the Vikings would be able to move forward under such a blow, although the iron crossbow bolts were powerful, but after all, there were only ten of them, and of course there were no pebbles to use generously.

"It's coming." The soldier who was sweating profusely with his cheeks blowing a clay pot with hay and wolf dung in it, finally rose straight into the sky with his efforts.

In the fields a few miles away from the port, a patrolling cavalryman was watching the black smoke over the harbor, and every day he had been ordered to make a round of the place to see if there was any wolf smoke rising from the harbor, but each day was spent peacefully. He thought the order was just a boring joke, but now that he saw the wolf smoke rising, he believed that there was really an enemy attacking the port.

"Drive it~~~." The patrol cavalry hurriedly turned the horse's head, pinched the horse's belly with his legs, and rushed towards Mecklenburg County like an arrow.

Arold in Mecklenburg Castle soon received the news when he was sitting on his lord's throne and receiving petitions from the noble gentry from the countryside, who had come from wealthy families to petition Arold for a land in Mecklenburg County in return for his favor. The squire nobles promised to fight in the time that Arrod needed to fight. They would buy their own heavy equipment and gather to fight under the banner of Arold.

"If you want to get the land, you can only get the right to use the land, and you have to register it with Brother Elvet, my minister, and you will get a deed every seven years." Arold would never give these noble squires a one-time gift of valuable land. He imitated a certain practice of the Celestial Empire in later generations. Separate land use rights from ownership rights. Of course, the nobles of Europa are very confused, and these two things are one in their minds.

"The right to use?" The squire nobles who heard this order scratched their heads, he didn't understand that the right to use was not the right to own?

"Yes. During this time you must be loyal to me, serve me, and fulfill your feudal obligations, and I will ensure that you will not interfere with the use of the land for these seven years, and that you may continue to renew the contract for seven years after the expiration of the contract, but if you break your obligations, then I will confiscate the land after seven years. Arold explained briefly to the squire nobles dressed in Germanic robes.

"Understood, noble earl." The squires and nobles nodded, as long as they obeyed Arrod, they could keep their land, and although it was a little troublesome to sign a contract, it was acceptable to them, just like the annual swear of allegiance to the lord, and the written contract could effectively guarantee their rights.

"Well, then you must breed more horses on your estate, and if you don't want to do military service, you can pay me at least three healthy war horses every year as a fee for exemption from military service." Arold said to these squires and nobles that Arold knew that his financial resources were currently limited, and although he could develop the earl's stables as a facility for training cavalry, if the noble squires who had sent these wealthy immigrants to raise horses, he would soon be able to gather a cavalry army.

"Oh, is it okay to raise horses?" The squires and nobles didn't really like to fight, and fighting meant death, and no one wanted to lose their family members in a war for others, but in order to get the lord's land, they had to promise, and now Arold actually told them that they only needed to pay a few horses a year to avoid military service, this news is simply wonderful.

"That's right, uh I~~~." Arold was about to say that they only needed to hand over the horses to the earl's stables, and they could work peacefully with their families in the manors and fields, and the low-class nobles were not all ambitious careerists, most of them just needed a manor and land to support their families.

But at this moment, the door of the hall of Mecklenburg was opened, and there was a heavy creak, which interrupted Arrod's words, and saw a patrol cavalry hurrying in, and as soon as he entered the hall of the lord, he knelt down on one knee and saluted Arold, and then approached Arold to whisper in his ear what had happened in the harbor, and the wolf smoke of crisis rose into the sky.

"Distinguished gentlemen, this is the end of today's meeting, and you can find my palace minister, Brother Elvet, for the rest." Arold waved his hand at the petitioning squires, and the squires and nobles hurriedly pressed their hands on their chests, bent down and stepped back and left the lord's hall, although they could see that the matter must be related to the patrol cavalry who broke in, but no one could guess what was going on, so they had to bury their doubts in their hearts.

"So the Vikings have finally begun attacking the port?" Arold rubbed his hands slightly, since the wolf smoke rose to indicate that the bunker had worked, perhaps they were now engaged in a fierce battle with the Vikings, and were in dire need of reinforcements from Mecklenburg.

"I saw the wolf smoke rising, so I immediately came back to report it." The patrolling cavalry took a step back and said to Arrod.

"Yes." Arold stood up, his hands on the armrest of his heavy lord's chair, wondering if he should wait for the Viking warriors to be almost depleted under the bunker before attacking, or if he would immediately gather an army to deal a deadly blow to the Vikings.

"What shall we do, Lord Earl?" Ron, the knight of the Inner House who was serving on the side, asked Arrod in contemplation curiously.

"Order John Berg to gather the German mercenary regiment on vacation, and the Prince Ward's guard in training to also be mobilized from the Angry Lion Castle." Arold immediately ordered Ron that Prince Ward's Guard was the unit captured in the last war with the Slavs, and because Arold was not sure of their loyalty, he placed them in the Angry Lion Castle for brainwashing training, and in the military academy in the Angry Lion Castle, the monks in it told them every day about the Catholic doctrine and the greatness of Arrod.

When a lie is told a thousand times, it will become true, most of the soldiers of Prince Ward's guard are some rude men who only know how to wield knives and guns, and it is easy to accept new ideas, and it was not long before most of the soldiers of Prince Ward's guard sincerely converted to Catholicism, and thought that Arold was a great monarch, of course, that almost made them grow fat food, and the preferential treatment of the German mercenaries they saw, had to make them tempted, the monarch who had been loyal to them was gone, Now that a loyal monarch can bring them glory, benefits, and hope, what reason is there to disobey?

Arrod's order was immediately and meticulously carried out, but the German mercenaries on vacation were scattered in all corners of the territory, and many of them left their addresses in a chaotic manner, in fact, they could not be blamed, the people of the Middle Ages lived in a small range, maybe he said that Blackwater Village, it is possible for others to call it Baishui Village, anyway, as long as the acquaintances in their own village understand, but it has brought difficulties to the registration of soldiers, so it is necessary to send cavalry around the territory to find those scattered soldiers, And village by village to announce this order, which also leads to the speed of gathering soldiers will be a little slow.
