The royal tent is mainly black, with yellow edges, full of solemnity and authority. On the pointed top is a heraldic flag of the Empire Eagle. At the door of the tent are two royal guards holding long halberds. In the gaps in the tent curtain, Henry, the ruler of the empire, could be seen sitting inside. The man who commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and was the most noble of the vassal, was frowning at this time, holding his forehead with his right hand, and shook his head from time to time.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" In addition to the bird catcher Henry, there was also his heir Prince Otto, who sat cross-legged on the carpet of the tent. He held a mountain of parchment books at his hand, each of which was carefully drawn by the monks, and on his knee was an open book, a Plato philosophy compiled by the monks.

"My smart son, you read books compiled by monks all day long, but can those things really help you?" Henry looked at his heirs, buried his head in the pile of books all day long, and couldn't help but shake his head again, frowning together, and stroked his beard.

"Books are records of wisdom and experience, which can help us find many solutions to problems." Otto closed the books on his knees, and he placed them in the pile of books, which were managed by special servants.

"Ha, will those priests who only know how to pray with their hands and hands closed their eyes and pray know how to rule an empire?" Henry disdained Otto's words. Those who only talked about what role could God arrange when problems arise. If it were not for the support of the nobles' swords, they would have been cut off by the pagans. This is why Henry refused to apply oil when he was crowned. How could he surrender to a group of weak monks who only prayed.

"Although these books were compiled by monks, their knowledge came from a much longer time." Otto stood up. Although his father became Duke of Saxony by luck, he then defeated his competitor step by step and achieved his current status. Therefore, he only believed in the sword in his hand and the knights under his command.

"Oh, then I want to know how to break the walls of the fortress of those damn Slavs." Henry asked Otto in a joking tone after hearing his son's words.

"I also want to find a solution, but there are too few books left behind. I have searched for a long time but have not found a solution." Otto was a little depressed. He searched for the books he had trouble collecting. But most of them were ancient Greek philosophy, as well as Christian Bibles or letters from early disciples, and had very little knowledge about military theory. Perhaps they had been destroyed when the Roman Empire was destroyed, or those books were collected elsewhere.

"So I said those things were useless at all. It seemed that we could only make concessions to the dukes. We asked them to send knights to attack the city walls. Otherwise, when winter was delayed, not only would the soldiers be dismal, but our finances would not be able to support so much. People from the chamber of commerce had already come to ask if we wanted to mortgage land to borrow money." Heng rubbed his forehead with his hand, and originally thought that tens of thousands of people could quickly take down the fortress Blan.

Nibel. But unexpectedly, the dukes were blaming each other and procrastinating their attacks. Perhaps because they saw the strong walls of the fortress and were worried about losing their knights. You should know that these dukes were still in a competitive relationship. The damage to their strength would definitely make their competitors reap the benefits. However, the tens of thousands of people were very expensive to eat horses. In addition to the "Jinv" and the merchants who were following the army behind, Henry was very worried.

"What else should we make concessions? Father, the autonomy we give to the dukes is already great enough. I am worried that one day these noble dukes will be out of control." Prince Otto took a breath and made a hissing sound. It was already true that the dukes could not lose their tails. However, now Henry and Saxony are still alive, and these dukes dare not act rashly. But if the Dukes Saxony and Henry, who supported the royal family, died and were no longer alive, I am afraid that the empire would be in a crisis of falling apart.

"The dukes have always wanted to expand the right of the electoral prince. Now they are dragging their attacks and are afraid they want to use this as a threat. They ask me to expand the number of electoral princes and limit the rights of the royal family." Henry sighed deeply. He understood his son's concerns. Isn't it the same? He only blamed himself for his eagerness to expand, which led to such a situation. "It's all because of the damn Earl of Mecklenburg. If he hadn't won so easily, how could I start a war easily?"

"Earl of Mecklenburg?" Prince Otto's eyes lit up after hearing Henry's complaint. Only Arod could solve the situation now, so he said to Henry, "Father, why don't we let the Earl of Mecklenburg come to help in the war?"

"Do you mean he will definitely be able to break this fortress? Maybe last time he was just lucky. You have to know that luck cannot appear again and again." Henry shook his head indifferently. He did not think that the young Arod could help him.

"No, my father, I heard that the Earl of Mecklenburg once had a military book from the ancient Roman era. When serving Duke Mason, he won repeatedly with the wonderful tactics in the book. It seems that his ability to liberate Mecklenburg County was not as simple as luck." Prince Otto had long been very concerned about Arod. Although the royal family was not powerful, it was very effective in collecting intelligence. His Royal Highness had studied Arod every battle.

"The military treasure of ancient Rome?" Henry stroked his beard and his eyes squinted. This aroused his interest, or that a young count really had a secret to defeating any enemy.

"I heard that Duke Mason even wanted to marry his precious daughter Princess Josie to the Earl, and Sir Eble said that he would bring news of Arod's engagement after the war ended."

"What? That Duke Mason actually wants to marry his precious daughter to him. Yes, it seems that Duke Mason must also be interested in the treasure in the hands of an earl." Henry raised his head in surprise when he heard this. He knew how much love a Duke Mason loved his precious daughter. Although Henry once wanted to marry Duke Mason, Duke Mason refused him without thinking, but now he wants to marry his daughter to a little earl. If there is no reason, it is impossible.
