Chapter 109: Asking for Help
"What else? What else is there to say? Karl asked.
"No, the man in black is not a god, it's good to be able to investigate here." Teresa shrugged.
Carl nodded, after all, this is not a modern society, as long as you are alive, your information is 360° transparent without dead ends, and it is very good to be able to do this here.
"Don't care about Constantine's affairs for now, since it's about the Constantine Empire, it's not something we should consider for the time being, solve the threat of Fort Carmel first, and you let the men in black set their sights on this." Carl said.
"One thing about this is that we have discovered that a group of Wikipedians have come to the territory of the Dillmans, and it is likely to threaten our Syld Manor." Teresa seemed to think suddenly.
"Wikipedians? Is it King Denmaka's army? Carl immediately became nervous, after all, he was choked by the threat of King Denmaka now.
"No, it's a very small team, it looks like it's here to loot, it's already looted two villages, and it's also attracted the attention of some nobles who want to exterminate it, but I don't know why they haven't fled by boat." Teresa shook her head, if it was King Denmaila's army, Teresa would definitely not be the one who didn't care much about it now.
"Where are they now?"
"I don't know, after all, it's not me who decides where they go." Teresa pouted.
"Well, keep an eye on it, I'm afraid this group of Wikipedians is here to find out what we're really doing." Carl said in a deep voice that Wikipedians are brave warriors, and he will not let his guard down.
"Okay, okay, then if there's nothing else, I'll step back first." Teresa looked impatient.
Karl was a little helpless, waved his hand and waved Teresa away.
……
At the same time, a messenger with a felt hat on his head came to Rizlandburg.
"Honorable Ruler of Rizlandburg, Lord Duke of Rizland, I salute you on behalf of my sovereign, Count Dortmund."
The messenger took off his felt hat, and the warmth of the fireplace in the castle made him breathe a sigh of relief, and he bowed respectfully, and in front of him, the Duke of Rizlan sat on his lord's throne, with his hand on his seat, and quietly watched the messenger saluting him.
"Excuse me, I already feel the loyalty of the Count of Dortmund." Duke Rizlan waved his hand and motioned for the messenger to sit aside.
"Tell me, your monarch has asked you to do what you want, and if I'm not mistaken, he should come and swear an oath to me." Duke Rizlan said with a little dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, I have come this time precisely because of this incident, and my monarch did not come on purpose, but the hateful heathen Grand Chief of Fort Carmel kept my monarch in check, making it impossible for him to leave Dortmund." The envoy said respectfully, he didn't want any rift between Duke Rizlan and his monarch.
"Well, I accept your explanation, so are you here to tell me about this?" Duke Rizland also knew what was going on on Karl's side, so he mentioned it casually.
"That's right, I have asked you for reinforcements on the orders of my sovereign, Lord Count Dortmund."
"Reinforcements? If I'm not mistaken, your monarch probably doesn't need reinforcements, he seems to be with a Flo...... The chief of Fort Norma made an alliance, the Flo who had converted to the Holy Religion. The Duke of Rizlan was a little surprised.
"You are right, it stands to reason that this is the case, but things have changed, the Great Chief of Fort Carmel does not know what means he used, persuaded King Denmeka to intervene in this war, according to intelligence, King Denmeka will send an army into Fort Carmel in the near future, that will be a great enemy, although the Earl is heroic, but compared with the enemy, there is still a disparity in strength, so the Earl wants to wait for your help." The messenger stated the greatest purpose of his trip.
"King Denmaka...... "Duke Rizlan muttered, and if that was the case, it would be a great trouble.
He was a little tempted to refuse, after all, it would be of no benefit to him to send troops to the Dortmund War, but he knew that he could not do so, and the Count of Dortmund swore to himself in public that their vassal relationship was nominally completed, and as the other party's vassal lord, he had the obligation to protect the other party, which was something that had to be done, otherwise the vassals of his territory would be chilled, and the prestige of the Rizlandburg family would be reduced to a point he was unwilling to bear.
"Father, I think we should agree to the demands of the Count of Dortmund, this is what we should do." Just then, a voice came from outside the door.
Sir Frederick pushed open the wooden door of the hall, and when he heard that the Count of Dortmund had sent an envoy to Ritzlandburg, he was intrigued, and "overheard" the messenger's words, and after thinking about it, he walked in.
"Frederick, my heir, do you know what your decision means?" Duke Rizlan's expression was calm, of course he didn't know that his son would eavesdrop on their conversation, but he didn't deal with it, and this was also done on purpose.
"Of course, my father, it is God's duty to protect our vassals, and it is our honor to fight against the heathen." Frederick said in a deep voice.
Duke Rizlan looked at his son, compared with his ancient expression, in fact, he was sighing in his heart, his son is good at everything, but he is not mature enough, he also knows these things, but how can he say it in front of the messenger in Dortmund.
"You're right, then, messenger from Dortmund, go back and tell your monarch that I will fulfill my duty as a feudal lord and send troops to support his war, but I need him to bear the food that my army needs." Duke Rizlan tapped on the armrest, making a slight sound.
Although Frederick's behavior is very immature, after all, he is his heir, and it is indeed the other party who is in charge at this time, so he will not refute his face at such a time.
Although he knew that accepting Karl's vassalage would take on the corresponding obligations, he was still a little unhappy when he actually had to fight the Wikipedians for Karl.
"Of course, this is what we should do, and I think the Earl will be happy to know the news, may God bless you." The messenger was overjoyed to have the help of the Duke of Rizlan to complete his mission perfectly, and it was the only mission he could not afford to fail.
No one knows better than him what kind of crisis Dortmund is facing now, with the strength of Dortmund and Normaburg, it is absolutely impossible to resist, even if it is really lucky to resist, it will have to suffer heavy losses, but if the Duke of Rizland is willing to help, it will be different, as a duke, the military strength of the Duke of Rizland is not comparable to Karl.
As for paying for food? This is a very normal thing, and you can't do nothing when someone else helps you fight.
"Well, the problem has been solved." Duke Rizlan closed his eyes slightly, and the breath in his nose was very light, as if he was taking a nap.
The envoy naturally knew that this was an order to expel the guest, so he did not stay long, and left the castle after bowing respectfully.
Frederick did not bother his father any further, but walked towards a small gazebo, which was the back garden of Rizlandburg.
Frederick's smile always refreshed Frederick's mood, and his sister Natalie was wearing a wreath of flowers on her head at this time, and a butterfly was resting on her fingertips, her eyes were looking at the butterfly, and her pupils were like stars in the sky.
"My brother, what are you doing with me?" Natalie saw Frederick's figure and quickly got up, and the butterfly in her hand also left because of the alarm.
"Hah, can't I just come and see my sister? Or do you just want to be the noble Count of Carl von Dias? Frederick grimaced and couldn't help but quip.
"What are you talking about?" Natalie scolded, her face flushing slightly.
Frederick couldn't help but feel a little amused when he saw his sister's performance, and Natalie was the only one who would show such a gesture when it came to Carl.
But I have to admit that Carl does have such qualifications, at least he recognizes Carl, this young man has done too many miracles.
The transformation from a country nobleman to a noble count was a miracle in itself, not to mention the fact that it took Carl less than five years to do this, and he still took the territory from the Flo people, which was not easy.
Moreover, Karl's governance of the territory and his openness also left a very good impression on him, so he spoke for him in front of the Duke of Rizland.
"Did you suddenly say that this is another news of Carl?" Natalie is smart, she only guesses the truth in a split second.
"Heh, that's just Karl." Frederick shook his head, his sister was already turning her arms out.
"No, no, no...... It's Lord Count Dortmund. Natalie blushed and quickly shook her hand, she had not been in Selder Manor for a short time, there because Carl didn't care about the name of the people around her, and even seemed to him to be more affectionate by his name, so she had such a subconscious name.
"Okay, I won't tease you." Frederick chuckled, sat down next to Natalie, and told her a rough idea of what had happened.
"Huh? Doesn't that mean Carl is dangerous right now? As soon as she heard that the Great Chief of Fort Carmel was going to start a war with King Denmaka, she was a little panicked, and as a duke and princess, she naturally knew the strength of the Denmaka Kingdom.
"Don't worry about my sister, my father has already agreed to send troops, and I believe in Karl, don't forget that he is a powerful military nobleman!"
