Robert's mercenaries were defeated, and Robert himself fled from the battlefield, Arold didn't catch the slippery loach-like guy, but when Arold led his Swiss mercenaries into the Abbey of St. Fonso, the monks in the monastery didn't even know the news of Robert's defeat, until John Berg took out the head of the Germanic mercenary captain, and the people inside believed that their abbot had indeed failed, but there were some twists and turns in between.

The senior monks in the monastery were killed by Robert and burned in the prayer room, Robert's henchmen followed him to the battlefield and fled, and the rest were only some junior and inexperienced monks, who were divided into two factions of surrender and refusal to surrender, and no one could convince anyone, but Arold, who was waiting outside the monastery, was already a little impatient, and when the waiting was fruitless, he began to order the Swiss mercenaries to cut down trees, and wanted to use trees to make crash wood to break the wooden door of the monastery, At this time, the monks inside were even more frightened by the six gods and no masters.

"We also have a senior monk, and we must bring him out." It was only then that they remembered that once Hove. Brother Barth, Abbot's financial director, was still in custody, and the monks hurried to the place where Brother Barth was being held, where was a cold and damp abandoned cellar, in which the old Brother Barth was dying, and when he was carried out by the other monks, although he was weak but still in good spirits, he immediately ordered the monks to release Lady Eva, and then opened the wooden door to welcome Arold in, to know if the monastery was breached by force, It's hard to argue that the bloodthirsty mercenaries wouldn't do anything to ransack the monastery.

When the door of the monastery is opened. The cowering monks made an invitation to Arrod, who politely kicked the horse in the belly with the golden spur in his heel. Ride into the convent of San Fonso and look at the thriving estates and beautifully trimmed grape trellises inside the monastery. The crowd that had just come down from the battlefield felt a quiet moment like never before, and the bell on the main building of the monastery rang and reverberated in the silent monastery, which was only struck when something important was happening in the monastery.

"Lord Arrod, Brother Barth invites you to join us." As Arold rode into the courtyard in front of the main building of the monastery, a monk dressed in a gray monk's uniform spoke to him.

"Yes, but I have to bring my own guards." Arjod nodded in agreement, but he had just fought against Robert, and he didn't trust the monks in the monastery of St. Fonso's monastery if a few assassins suddenly appeared inside. Wouldn't he die like Caesar?

"Of course, of course." The monks did not dare to refuse him, and at this time Arold and his seventy or so Swiss mercenaries were the only armed forces in this territory, and tried not to provoke them as much as possible to provoke the consensus of the monks.

"Julian and Captain Johnberg followed me inside, and the others waited outside, so they could rush in if they noticed something was wrong." Arold commanded his mercenaries.

"Yes, sir." The Swiss mercenaries promised with a bang, and they guarded the monastery with spears in hand and serious faces. The murderous aura of the mercenaries made the monks shudder.

The main building of the monastery is made of solid stone, and in the era of religious supremacy, all religious buildings were made of solid stone structures that were not easy to catch fire. Pushing open the heavy door, inside is a hall with a dome top, with window holes in the shape of a cross. Letting the sunlight inside, a group of monks whispered something to each other. Echoes hum through reflections inside the building.

"Arold." At this moment Arrod heard the call of Lady Eva, and he saw Lady Eva sitting among the pillars of the hall. He looked a little haggard, but he wasn't in bad spirits.

"Mother." Arold hurriedly stepped forward, he knelt down on one knee and held Mrs. Eva's cold hand, put it to his mouth and kissed it, Mrs. Eva looked at Arold in front of her with love and joy, wearing chain mail, majestic and high-spirited.

"Well, why isn't the coat of arms on your blouse your father's?" Mrs. Eva keenly noticed that Arrod's coat of arms was a black lion with a carbine, which was completely different from her husband's.

"Lord Arrod has been made Earl of Mecklenburg by the Duke of Mason, so this is his own family coat of arms." Julian stepped forward respectfully, bowed to Lady Eva, and explained.

"Oh? This one is. Lady Eva looked at Julian, who was wielding the sword, and asked Arold with some confusion.

"I am Lord Arrod's bodyguard, Julian from the House of Sir Ivan." Julian introduced himself that this was the first time Julian had shown Arold that he was willing to become one of Arold's personal attendants, and in the fight with Julian, Arold felt that Julian was a trustworthy person, so he acquiesced in his identity.

"Ha, my youngest son, has come back from a trip to the city and has become an earl." Madame Eva was surprised and ecstatic, she was amazed that Arrod's identity had changed dramatically after an expedition, and she was delighted that her descendants had produced an earl.

"Julian is exaggerating a little, I don't have my own fief yet, Duke Mason just gave a title, in short, it's just an empty shell earl, it's just a façade." Arold said with some embarrassment, but it was Mrs. Eva who comforted him for a long time, and at this moment the monks seemed to have finished discussing something, and they stopped arguing and looked at Mrs. Eva and Arrod's side.

"What are they doing?" Arrod asked, puzzled.

"You should know this, you defeated that bad guy Abbot Robert, and now there is a vacant abbot in St. Fonso's Abbey, and they need to elect a new abbot to run St. Fonso's Abbey." Lady Eva explained to Arrod.

"Honorable Lady Eva, and honorable Lord Arrod, I am now the acting abbot of the Abbey of St. Fonso, and your old friend, Brother Barth." Brother Barth, supported by the two young monks, trembled up to them, and spoke humbly to Lady Eva and Arrod.

"Oh, but I don't know this old fellow." Arrode's brow furrowed, he only knew the dead Hough. Dean Hannes, and Sir Woodlow, who was ventilating the Wendells, and the damned Robert, the old man who seemed to be about to meet God, was not at all impressed.

"Ahem, this is Brother Bart, he's an old friend of mine, he tried to help me when Robert imprisoned me without permission, but Robert was imprisoned because he failed." Lady Eva introduced Arrod.

"Really? Hello Brother Barth. Arold smiled when he heard that he was a monk who had helped his mother, in fact, he did not have a good impression of these Robert's accomplices at all, although Brother Barth became the acting abbot, Arold was still ready to knock on the monastery of St. Fonso, which was the right of his victor.

Brother Bart is worthy of the high-ranking friars who have existed since the time of Abbot Hofhannes, he knows very well what these nobles think, the reason why the warlike nobles are tired of the war is not the spoils of the war, this time although it is a feud between Robert and the Wendell family, but Robert was still the abbot of St. Fonso Abbey at that time, and Robert had already escaped from the battlefield, so the responsibility for this defeat of course fell on the head of the abbey, in the first moment of becoming the acting abbot of St. Fonso's monasteryHow to settle the war reparations became something that Brother Barth needed to solve.

"We are willing to give 500 silver houses, ten barrels of wine, and a caravan of food as a thank you for Lord Arrode's victory over the wicked Robert." Brother Barth preemptively addressed Arrod in an attempt to change the concept of the dispute as a personal feud between Robert and the Wendell family.

"You're mistaken, Brother Barth." Arold didn't sell Brother Barth's accounts, he squinted at the old man, and wanted to use such a little thing to pass himself, and it was too beautiful to think.

"So how much do you want?" Brother Barth looked at the young-looking, but very calm earl in front of him, and when he learned the title of Arrod, he thought he had heard it wrong, because he knew the Wendell family, which might produce many knights and even barons, but an earl, he had never heard of it.

"At least a thousand silver houses, fifty barrels of wine, and ten cartloads of food." The lion opened his mouth wide and more than doubled the price of the booty, but he knew that the wealthy Monastery of St. Francus could afford it.

"What? So much, we are just humble poor servants of God, how can there be so much to give you? I hope that the benevolent and honorable Earl Arrod will lower his demands for God's sake. Brother Barth listened to Arrod's words, his eyes widened in surprise, his mouth opened wide, and he said in surprise.

"Also, I want the Abbey of St. Fonso to temporarily hand over to me a property near Mecklenburgshire." Arod was indifferent to Brother Barth's pleas, and he held out his finger to Brother Barth, saying that the reason why he knew that St. Fonso had an estate in Mecklenburgshire, near the West Slavs, was only because of the information provided by the fallen monk who had been captured by the Swiss, and that monk was Brother Elvet who had betrayed Brother Barth and others.

In order to save his life, Brother Elvet tried to get the Swiss to meet Arold, and as a trusted man, he also knew Arold's desire for land in Mecklenburg, so he told Arold the news of the estate that Count Altmark had given to St. Fonso Abbey, which was extremely beneficial to Arold's attack on Mecklenburg.
