Section XXIX Grand Chief of Pomerania

The white blouse, the silver chain mail, and the strange bottle helmet, exuding a little cold light, the outfit exuded a little cold light that made people shudder, Harold and the others stood in front of Arold with swords, and they had already knelt down on one knee in front of Arold to receive the sword, in fact, this was also a ritual to show allegiance to the Grand Master, and this ceremony made the Teutonic knights and the Grand Master establish an absolute relationship between the upper and lower levels.

"Soon you will go with the Flag Bearer, Lord Count Yve, to Watergarst, where you will carry out your military duties, and you will be absolutely obedient to your superiors, and you will not be afraid to fight bloodily, do you see that wall?" Arjod gestured to the south wall of the hall, which did not seem strange, but since the Grand Master had ordered them to look, the newly appointed honorary Teutonic knights turned to look.

"The blank walls will be inscribed with the names of the knights who died in battle, and will be revered by the knights and the world to come, and these empty pillars above are eager for you to capture the banners of the enemy and hang them on them to add honor to the Teutonic Order." Arold's voice inspired the Teutonic knights, who stared intently at the noble count, as if the scene of a bloody return had already been unfolded.

"~~~~~." The hall erupted in deafening cheers from the knights, who blushed and raised their right hands in cheers for their mission and honor.

The first Honorary Knights of the Teutonic Order were born, and at the same time Arold's rival was waiting patiently on his horse at Contoi, who was on the border of the forest, and several important vassals were looking across the river from a stream adjacent to the Emirate of Pomerania, and Contoyi was waiting for the chieftain from Pomerania.

"Gotta get ~~~~." Just as Kang Tuoyi frowned impatiently. When he looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, a series of rapid horses' hooves were heard from the opposite side, which made everyone straighten up involuntarily.

"The Great Chief has finally arrived." Kang Tuoyi kicked his mount with both legs, and moved a few steps forward, only to see a Pomeranian rider on the opposite side holding a banner aloft, and behind the rider appeared a twilight man dressed in the costume of a Slavic nobleman and several horsemen. In front of and behind the mounts of the twilight men dressed in aristocratic attire, several hounds were running happily.

"Oh, Kang Tuoyi is so glad to have met you on the way to hunt." The man in his twilight years was the Grand Chief of Pomerania, and he had not a single hair on his head, but the white beard of his lips and cheeks and chin were joined together, and his face was flushed with the horse's horse, so he had to stop and breathe for a moment before speaking.

"Yes, it's a wonderful thing to be able to come across while hunting." Kang Tuoyi also smiled, this is just a layer of rhetoric, everyone knows that no one will hunt in the spring. This was the time when the animals multiplied, and the Great Chief said this only to hide the embarrassment of their meeting.

"Speaking of which, when you were a child, your father often brought you to my castle as a guest, but I didn't expect him to die at such a young age, may the gods bless his soul." The Grand Chief of Pomerania patted his mount, and in fact he had already fallen into tension with Pomerania while his father was still healthy, and the Grand Chief of Pomerania changed the traditional Slav practice of dividing the land equally among his heirs in order not to weaken his domain. Instead, it was all inherited by his eldest son, and the Grand Chief of Mecklenburg saw this as a provocation to tradition and severed ties with his old friend. But I didn't expect that at this time, things were already wrong.

"Yes, when he was still conscious, he mentioned you from time to time, and felt that he should not disobey your advice." Kang Tuoyi said to the Grand Chief of Pomerania.

"Well, this old stubborn." The Grand Chief of Pomerania sighed, his brow furrowed and his mouth slammed. The Grand Chief of Mecklenburg was his playmate since childhood, and the two were brothers and sisters, and although there was a disagreement later, it was also for the sake of their respective family interests.

"We've set up a tent at the edge of this forest, and ask the Great Chief to rest there for a while." The leader of Kang Tuoyi's men invited the Grand Chief of Pomerania.

"How. Kang Tuoyi, do you agree with me crossing this creek? The Great Chief opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and jokingly pointed at the shallow boundary river with the hand holding the horsewhip.

"Of course, welcome to you, Great Chief, and I will have a sumptuous meal and drink prepared by you." A smile appeared on Kang Tuoyi's face, and he saluted at the Great Chief on his horse, and the other chiefs also showed a knowing smile, it seemed that the Grand Chief of Pomerania had approved Kang Tuoyi's right to rule, and they sighed softly, it was really important to maintain friendly relations with this powerful neighbor at a time when the Great Emirate of Mecklenburg was falling apart and weakening.

Sure enough, on the edge of the forest, Kang Tuoyi set up a few tents, a bonfire was being set up outside the tent, several servants were roasting a whole elk on it, the flames licked and ate the flesh of the elk that had been skinned, the oil beads dripped on the firewood and made a sizzling sound, the burnt yellow part exuded an attractive fragrance, and the Grand Chief of Pomerania drooled, he couldn't help but reach out and touch his beard, and walked to the tent with a smile.

"Please taste this wine." Kang Tuoyi sat down in the tent with the Grand Chief, he picked up a wine glass, poured wine into it, and handed it to the Grand Chief, who was sitting in the guest seat, and motioned for him to taste it.

"Hmm, what kind of wine is this, how come I've never seen it?" Grand Chief Pomerani took the glass, and a strong aroma of wine came to his nose, making him slightly drunk without drinking, which was completely different from other drinks he had ever drunk, so he asked Kang Tuoyi curiously.

"Haha, cut the roasted venison for the Great Chief, this wine is delicious when eaten with meat." Kang Tuoyi asked the servant to cut off a piece of meat from the back of the deer with a knife, and handed it to the Grand Chief of Pomerania on a wooden plate, who was immediately impressed by the delicious taste of the roast meat and wine.

"Gods above, I could sell a castle for this wine." The Grand Chief of Pomerania shouted loudly, and on closer inspection the wine was not the same as the red wine nor the amber malt, but as a transparent color that was almost like water.

"Your Excellency, this is a specialty from Mecklenburg, the name is brandy, it is said to be very valuable, and it is only available to the great nobles of the Franks, and I also spent a lot of money for the merchants to buy it." Kang Tuoyi said with a smile to the Great Chief.

"I didn't expect the Franks to be so good at winemaking, by the way, I heard that your father's Mecklenburg was occupied by the Germans, so they made this thing." The Great Chief clung to the glass, and no longer dared to take a big gulp, but tasted it one by one.

"That's right." Kang Tuoyi's cheeks were slightly red, and he couldn't help but clench his fists secretly, if it weren't for his short-sighted brothers, how could he be taken away by the hateful Germanic people Mecklenburg, but it doesn't matter that Bilisi will be wiped out by him soon, and the rest is to join forces with the Pomeranian to attack and regain his own property, and skillfully use brandy to attract the attention of the Pomeranian Grand Chief, which is also the purpose of his desire to unite the Pomeranian Grand Chieftain and spend money to buy brandy, This precious wine has brought a lot of profit to Mecklenburg.

"How's Bilis, you're really going to kill him?" After a full meal, the Pomeranian Grand Chieftain, whose face had become ruddy, tilted his head, lay on the ground with a soft pillow on his right hand, and asked Kang Tuoyi, who had entertained him.

"He killed his brother and caused a strife among his brothers, and I must punish him for his crimes." Kang Tuoyi didn't expect the Grand Chief of Pomerania to suddenly raise this question, and he was extremely unhappy in his heart, but his face did not show it, he held the wine glass and reclined on the animal skin on the ground, and said to the Great Chief lightly.

"Well, if you find it difficult, you can send him to me, and I will help you solve this problem." Although the Grand Chief of Pomerania spewed wine in his mouth, his eyes flickered, the Grand Emirate of Pomerania is one of the most powerful countries in the Baltic Sea, and the manpower that can be mobilized can reach 10,000, of course, this 10,000 people are by no means elite warriors, but just 10,000 peasants holding wooden forks are also extremely terrifying.

"No need, this is the matter of the Great Emirate of Mecklenburg itself, and it is also a matter between our brothers, and I can solve it." Kang Tuoyi lowered his eyes and looked at the wine in his glass, the clear wine reflected his face, and unceremoniously pushed back the big chief's Jianyi.

"Of course, this is just a little bit of kindness on my part." The Grand Chief of Pomerania smiled, and was not angry, raised his glass and touched it with Kang Tuoyi, and returned to the original harmonious atmosphere.

"Kang Tuoyi, we have found a way to the back of the Mountain Lord's territory." At this moment, a tribal leader came quickly on horseback from the army camp, with an excited expression on his face, and when he was almost outside the tent, he jumped off his horse with agility, and you could see how excited he was at the news.

"What? Finally found it. Kang Tuoyi also stood up excitedly when he heard this, he threw away the wine glass in his hand, and let the precious brandy spill on the animal skin spread on the ground, and the time finally came to settle the score with Billis. (To be continued......)
