Section 238 Barracks Duel
After passing through the territory of the Count of Lübeck, the whereabouts of the Masons were exposed to the Vikings, and the vast area of land between the arrival of Schlesug County was the territory of the Vikings, and the Viking tribes of the Vikan Peninsula had just received the news that a Germanic army of thousands of people was marching on their territory, and they did not believe it was true at all, knowing that it was always the Viking warriors who attacked other people's territories, and no other tribe dared to set foot in the Vikan Peninsula, let alone such a large-scale march.
"Lord Duke, we should wipe out all the Viking tribes in our path, or they will most likely cut us off from the rear if we fight the Danish king." Duke Abel's vassals spoke to the Duke as they deliberated together.
"But not all of these tribes have taken refuge in the King of Denmark, and if we persecute them too much, I am afraid it will backfire." Arold was a little uncomfortable with the barbaric behavior of his vassals, although he also frequently used violence to subdue the Slavs in the process of conquering them, but it was against the Slavs, who had become enemies, but it was really barbaric to attack a people indiscriminately like now.
"Lord Arrod, these barbarians regard our Frankish territories as a sheepfold to be taken and plundered, and those Vikings do not have the blood of our Germans on their hands." At this time, the Earl of Praun also interjected, and it is true that the Viking warriors often went south to loot property and kill people to intercept goods when they took advantage of the internal strife in the Frankish kingdom, and it can be said that the Vikings' narrow warships often went everywhere in disarray.
"It's decided, weeding out the Viking tribes along the way." Duke Abel slapped his thigh. He said to his vassals with determination.
"It's the Duke." The vassals had a look of joy on their faces, and looting the tribes in the other party's territory meant that they would receive money and slaves, which were the best part of the war, and these supplies could cover the cost of the vassals' armies.
When Arold walked out of Duke Abel's tent, he saw Grace the shield girl leading a group of Viking warriors, Grace and these Viking warriors joined his army as Arrod's heavy infantry, I have to say that once these Viking warriors obeyed Grace they were a very reliable group of warriors, but I don't know what it was like to join the army of the past enemy and set foot in their homeland.
"Your people are very unfriendly, Lord Earl." Grace looked unhappy. Grumbled to Arrod. Whenever the Vikings went out alone, they were subjected to special scrutiny by the barracks guards, as if they were afraid that they would become spies with internal and external collusion, and even bumping into the Masons on a regular basis.
"The Vikings have always been hostile to us. It's hard to turn it around all at once. Arold shrugged his shoulders. Said to reassure Grace.
"It's so weak. But you are very arrogant, not that I said that although you are numerous, you are not all elite. The peasants with straw forks only needed one face, and I was able to settle ten. Grace puffed up her chest with confidence, a pair of proud rabbits trembled twice, she was wearing a vest-like leather armor, and her chest was bulging to seduce many Masons like flies and coveted them, originally this girl was tall, and her buttocks were also very attractive against the background of trousers, unlike the Vikings, the Masons' barracks were mostly rough men, and her storage was like a time bomb.
"Oh, is this Viking chick looking down on us Masons?" Arold hadn't spoken yet, when a burly man walked over from the side, his hair was messy, but he was wearing a pair of chain mail, a sharp sword at his waist, and a squire with a shield behind him, who seemed to be a knight of the Duchy of Mason, but I don't know if it was the knight of the earl, or the knight of the duke's immediate guard?
"How is it?" Grace is not a timid retreat, even if she loses her father who was the king of Denmark, she is not discouraged to ask to become a shield maid, relying on her martial arts to gain a place among the Viking warriors who respect the strong, which is by no means comparable to the Germanic noble ladies who have gained status by blood inheritance, even if she becomes Arold's slave today, she will not look down on herself.
"Who are you?" Of course, Arrod couldn't watch the people he was sheltering being challenged, so he straightened up and asked loudly.
"Oh, this is Lord Count Mecklenburg, and I am Lord Praun's knight of the Inner Palace, whose name is Will. Adolf is a knight with a fief. "Will. Sir Adolf immediately gave Arjord a chivalric courtesy, for he was not afraid of Arrod, the Earl, for his master, the Earl of Plaun, was a nobleman of the same rank as Arrode, and that he had no right to command as the knight of the Earl of Praugh.
"It's Lord Plaun's knight, well, I'm talking to my soldiers, if there's nothing else to do, please sir." Arrod's brows furrowed slightly, of course he knew that even the Duke of Abel could not directly order this knight, this is the so-called vassal of my vassal is not my vassal, the traditional law of the feudal system in the Middle Ages, not to mention Arrod, who is on the same level as the Earl of Proudn.
"Of course, it's just that I heard the Viking insulting us Masons, so I can't ignore it, Lord Earl." But Will. Sir Adolphus had no intention of letting it go, and he raised his head and said aloud to Arrod, at this time the people in the barracks had gathered, and no one wanted to let go of this kind of free viewing.
"What are you going to do?" Arold was also a little angry, his face became iron-blue, which was obviously not to give himself face, so his tone became unkind.
"Allow me to duel this so-called elite Viking warrior." Will. Ser Adolphus pointed at Grace.
"Duel with a woman? Jazz, you're not mistaken. Arold scoffed, it was not good for a knight to duel with a woman, but Will. Sir Adolph was determined to do so.
"Women don't go to battle, I heard that the Viking shield girl is an excellent warrior who has been selected through layers of selection, speaking of which, this is also a pre-war exercise, so that our knights and soldiers can familiarize themselves with the fighting methods of the Viking warriors, is it that the Earl cherishes this pagan Viking woman?" From the crowd, the general of the Count of Lautz fanned the flames and said to the people, and some of the nobles who listened to his words also felt that it was very reasonable and nodded their heads, in this case, Arold was stumped, and if he continued to refuse, it was likely that everyone would say that he did not care about the overall situation.
"I accept this challenge, and as a warrior of the god Odin, there is no custom of refusing a challenge." Grace saw the ill-intentions of the Count of Lautz, and Arold's embarrassment, and she smiled and tied her blonde hair back to her head, and said to Will nonchalantly. Sir Adolf said.
"Oh oh oh~~." As soon as I heard that there was a duel to see, it was another battle between a Mason knight and a Viking warrior woman, which made the bored soldiers in the barracks even more energetic, and they flocked here, and finally even the Duke of Abel was alarmed, and after hearing the ins and outs, the Duke did not want to sweep everyone's interest, he just ordered the Duke's personal guards to maintain order in the barracks to avoid any bad accidents and commotions.
"I'll be enough with my sword, hahaha." Will. Sir Adolphus took off his cloak and rejected the pointed shield handed by his squire, ready to use only his sword against the arrogant Viking little / son / son / .
"Man, huh." A contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of Grace's mouth, she was already wearing leather armor, so she carried in her right hand a short-handled battle axe, the wooden handle of the battle axe was slightly curved, which Grace made herself, which was even more useful, and her left hand carried a Viking warrior round shield.
