After the Battle of the 119th Section
The captured Vikings were taken to Mecklenburg in despair, and Arold appeased the merchants who had lost their armed merchant ships, promising to compensate them with money to make amends, which the merchants gladly accepted, believing that Arold must be a brave and trustworthy nobleman since he was willing to go into battle with the Vikings himself and achieve such a great victory, and that Arold's county of Mecklenburg was a thriving territory, and if he could win Arold's favor, he would be favored in the trade of goods. It's enough for these merchants to make a lot of money.
"The captains and sailors of the Unicorn are exceptionally brave in battle, and they deserve to be rewarded." Knowing the importance of rewards and punishments, Arrod invited the Unicorn's ships and sailors to the castle of Mecklenburg, as well as soldiers such as Rex the Great Sword and Andrew the Mad the Madman, who were guarding the harbor, to be able to attend such a banquet was rare for a lowly person of their stature, but at this time they were participating as warriors who fought alongside Lord Count Mecklenburg.
"Ah~~~." In addition to these joyous scenes, there were the wailing wounded, most of whom were sailors from other armed merchant ships, who had fought fiercely with the Vikings, most of whom were wounded in the disparity in combat effectiveness, and who lacked a doctor to treat them.
"Are all the wounded here?" Arold did not abandon the wounded who had fought for him, and he walked outside the warehouse to hear the wailing inside. Only a few frightened fishermen's wives were looking after the men, but they had no medical knowledge and could only feed the wounded.
"Yes, Earl, Brother Elvet is getting the monks of the Brothers of St. Jom to arrive, and when they arrive, they will have enough men." An Arrod-appointed official in charge of port taxation and administration said that in addition to their religious beliefs, the Catholic friars had some simple medical methods for amputating and bandaging necrotic wounds, but because of the large number of countries in Europa, these techniques could not be fully disseminated, and only some of them were possessed by churches in more developed areas. Fortunately, the monks of the Friars of St. Jom were in control.
"Send some more women to help. They were given food in return, and all strips of cloth to bandage their wounds had to be boiled in boiling water. Arold walked to the entrance of the warehouse, frowned, and saw some hay spread on the floor inside. The wounded lay directly on the dirty hay. And the warehouse has only one window. So that the inside can not be breathable and bright at all, and the light is very dim.
"Understood, Lord Earl."
"Look, a military hospital must be built, otherwise the soldiers did not die on the battlefield. Instead, he died in the treatment center. After seeing the environment, Arold made up his mind to build a real hospital and train his own medical staff around the hospital.
At this moment the monks of St. Jom rushed to the port of Mecklenburg, they carried a wooden box covered with leather, opened the wooden box and put some potions and surgical tools such as knives and saws, the monks entered the warehouse to help the wounded sailors and soldiers, but the screams sounded again in the warehouse, because there was no anesthetic, the monks could only press down the wounded arms or legs of the soldiers like a group of butchers, Then take out the saw, like sawing wood, and directly remove the injured part.
"Your Excellency, it's time for us to return to Mecklenburg." At this time, Sir Ron, the knight of the Inner House, said to Arrod.
"Well, let's go." Arold sighed helplessly, he gave these monks all the medical knowledge he could know, and the others were not professional doctors, so he was really powerless.
Arold mounted his horse and led the knights of the Inner House back to Mecklenburg, the German mercenary group was stationed between the port and the castle to guard against possible attacks by Viking warriors, the German mercenary group dug a trench and planted sharp wooden stakes to build a simple wooden stockade, and erected several wooden watchtowers to be on guard, and the armed merchant ships damaged in the Battle of Mecklenburg were also dragged to the coast outside the port, and carpenters were brought in to repair them.
"Woo, woo, woo~~~." With the sound of a few horns, the people in the town outside Mecklenburg poured to both sides of the street, they looked at the Viking warriors who were escorted by Arold's soldiers, and they all looked at these strong Norsemen with wide and curious eyes, and did not expect that the Norsemen who brought them nightmares and fears turned out to be no different from them, and earlier there were rumors that these Norsemen were sent by God to punish them sinners, and the Europa Catholic culture is a culture of guilt, believing that all people are born with original sin, And the end will come at any time with the wrath of God.
"Long live Lord Earl~~~." When Arold rode his horse and led the victorious knights, the civilians in the town cheered, a lord who could protect them from the terrifying Viking warrior attack could definitely be supported by them, and Arold also stretched out his left hand with a smile on his face, waving at these enthusiastic civilians, and the knight with the flag behind him proudly held the black lion heraldic flag high.
"Arrod the Lion, Arrod the Lion~~~." Looking at the black lion heraldic banner with fangs and claws, the commoners of the town clapped their hands and cheered, juxtaposing the lion with the name of Arrod for the first time, and the nobles who were able to make the people put the lion in front of their names were all nobles who were brave and fearless in battle, and had a far-reaching reputation.
"Lord Earl, are you going to imprison these Viking warriors in the dungeon?" Upon entering Mecklenburg Castle, the knights immediately swarmed around the bound Viking warriors, who had laid down their weapons but would have caused a riot in the castle.
"Get me Grace." With Harun's help, Arold jumped off his horse and said to Harun.
"Yes, Lord Earl." Harun received Arrod's order, immediately entered the main tower of the castle, and looked around before finding Grace who was struggling with food in the lord's kitchen next to the main tower under the guidance of a cook, and the reluctant Grace finally put down a ham sausage in her hand under Harlan's continuous urging, and followed Harlan to the open space outside the main tower, when she came to the clearing, she couldn't believe her eyes, a group of her people were tied with flax ropes, and were surrounded by Arold's knights in the inner palace.
"Gods above, what happened? Arold, you really defeated the King of Denmark. The long eyelashes on Grace's beautiful eyes flickered, she knew how powerful the Danish king Knumba was, and it was this strong power that made her give up the idea of avenging her father, but she didn't expect that Arold could really defeat the Danish king Knumba, and these Viking warrior captives in the open space were very familiar to her, and they would definitely not be fake.
"Grace, is Grace really you?" In the crowd of Viking captives, Prescott shouted loudly, he could hardly believe his eyes, he had heard that the shield girl Grace had not returned to Zealand after the same Norwegian had taken part in the attack on Mecklenburg, Prescott thought that Grace must have died on the battlefield, but now he saw her in the castle of the Mecklenburgers.
"Who is he?" Arold asked Grace.
"His name is Prescott, who was once a vassal of my father, but after my father's death he was stripped of his rights and dominion, and is now just an ordinary Danish freeman." Grace explained to Arrold.
"Oh, I see." Arrod looked thoughtfully at the wolf Bèi Prescott, and then at Grace with a smile on her lips. (To be continued......)
