The nobles of Mason received a request for negotiation from Arold, and the agreed location was in the small village on the border between Mason and Mecklenburg, and the nobles of Mason were still extremely jealous of Arold, and the strong combat effectiveness of the Mecklenburg regiment was vividly remembered.

"Let's go with our troops, even if it's Arold and his Mecklenburg legion, we can't do anything." Baron Lance said to the Mason nobles in the manor.

"Mason is the Mason of the Masons, and we will not let outsiders rule." The Mason aristocrats raised their glasses in agreement.

"What do you mean, Baron Fred?" Baron Reims' gaze fell on Baron Fred, who was sitting without saying a word, and he said to Baron Fred with a persecutive gaze.

"Hmph, don't worry, I'll do it with everyone." Baron Fred's face was serious, he didn't want to go against Arrod, Duke of Mecklenburg, in his heart, but his family property was all in Mason's domain, and if he fell out with all the Mason nobles, it would be a matter of offending his neighbors.

"That's good." Baron Lance nodded with satisfaction, he felt that he was simply a duke without a ribbon, looking at the Mason nobles who obeyed him, the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile.

The nobles of Mason had eaten and drunk from the manor, and the next morning they mounted their horses and returned to their respective domains, where they were to gather their soldiers, and Baron Lance was sure that Arold would not dare to start a war at this time, and he also had his own informants in Mecklenburg, who said that the Mecklenburg regiment had been severely reduced due to illness and could mobilize less than half of the previous battles.

"Gray Law ~~~." The barons and nobles of Mecklenburg gathered together, and their army of 2,000 men, although they were all peasant soldiers who had never been on the battlefield, but the battle banner hunting was also full of momentum.

"Uh-huh." Baron Lance rode proudly on his horse, looking forward to it and looking a little heroic, and he wore an ancestral iron helmet with a dog's mouth. Dressed in dark leather armor studded with iron spikes, an attendant held the Baron Lance family flag aloft.

Baron Lance took advantage of the Mason's fears of the plague and gathered the barons and nobles in Mason's territory to form a quasi-alliance, which led a thousand men towards the border, and they wanted to show Arold determination and strength.

"What do you say? It was audacious for those barons to form an alliance. Arold was furious when he heard the news. These Mason aristocrats simply don't take him seriously.

"They, they also sent an envoy to demand that Her Royal Highness Princess Josie must participate in the peace talks."

"Princess Josie?" Arrod's brows furrowed, he didn't want his wife to be involved in dealing with the Mason nobles, after all, the Herman family was inextricably linked to the Mason nobles.

"What are you going to do?" Harvey, standing in the chamber, asked.

"No, this matter is a matter for the regents and the barons, there is no need to involve my wife." Arold immediately refused.

The emissaries of Mecklenburg immediately rode horses to convey Arrod's intention to the Mason nobles, but the Mason nobles stopped in the forest near the border and rejected Arold's proposal.

"No, Princess Josie must be involved, we can't imagine that an upstart would respect the rights and interests of nobles." Baron Lance said to the other barons.

"That's right." Mason's barons shouted. Agree with Baron Lance.

"We refuse, convey our intentions to Arrod." Seeing that everyone was united, Baron Lance was immediately relieved, and rejected the messenger's proposal.

"These bastards, it's getting more and more excessive." Arold listened to the messenger's reply, and his lungs exploded.

"The nobles of Arrod Mason have formed an army of a thousand men, although they are all peasant soldiers, but in the current situation we are in a disadvantageous situation, do you want to mobilize your vassals?" Harvey suggested to Arrod.

"No, I can't. Once the vassals are fully mobilized, it will give the world the impression that I am weak and powerless. Arrod shook his head. The deeper reason is that because of the plague, Mecklenburg's economy has begun to decline, and gathering a large army to extinguish the rebellion of the Mason nobles is a time-consuming, laborious and expensive matter, and it is more likely to cause the Mason nobles to withdraw from the Mason Territory and cause trouble for Arrod's rule.

"Then I'll arrange for someone to assassinate their leader, Baron Lance." Harvey said to Arold.

"Nope. Now assassinate Baron Lance, and everyone will know that I did it, well, I'll grant them all their requests. Arold thought for a moment and said to Harvey.

"Oh?" Harvey looked at Arold suspiciously for a moment, then turned and left the chamber. Arold was the only one left in the chamber at this point.

"Phew, it's finally time to use this thing." Arold exhaled softly, he stood up and walked to a filing cabinet in the conference hall, this filing cabinet was specially built by the masters of the smelting base, it was completely made of iron, and the place where the lock was unlocked were three iron discs, and there were gaps in the different directions of the discs, which could only be opened by a specific combination of notches, which was also a medieval version of the safe.

"Godada~~, Godada~~." Arold reached out and twisted the three discs, the gears inside made a sound, and when they were in the right direction, the safe clicked open, and when the safe door was opened, there were three layers of cabinets, each layer of which contained confidential documents and items, Arold ignored these documents, he clasped both sides of the cabinet with both hands, and slammed it open.

"Brush~~." After removing the cabinet inside, there was a hole in the sky, and the innermost thing was actually a very ordinary copper kettle, except for the more fine carving at the curved handle, there was nothing unique.

"I'm going to use you again." Arold looked at this copper wine pot, his thoughts couldn't help drifting into the distance, this wine pot is not ordinary, it is a mandarin duck pot made by Arold secretly looking for skilled craftsmen, the inside of the copper kettle has two layers of inner tank, the handle of the delicately carved entwined snake eyes hidden mystery, it is connected with the inner tank, when the eyes are pressed, the pressure of the air makes the poisonous wine will not pour out, but when the eyes are released, the poisonous wine will be injected unconsciously.

Arold agreed to take Princess Josie to the peace talks, and the Mason nobles felt that they had won, so they walked towards the place of the peace talks with their troops, Baron Reims squinted his eyes and rode on his horse, he even considered whether Arold could force him to be made earl after this peace talks, it was not impossible, he looked back at the Mason nobles behind him.
