Section 90 Before the Storm

The last thing that caught the eye of Chief Rostock's eyes was a small sky above the forest, and his consciousness gradually became blurred. He lay on the grass and his body fell into the abyss.

After that, a team of javelin cavalry found Chief Rostock in this border forest. They saw an incredible scene, with the remains and bodies of fighting and fighting everywhere, and Chief Rostock's flag fell into the soil.

"What happened?" The captain of the Javelin Cavalry held the javelin in his hand tightly. He turned the war horses under his crotch, letting the war horses walk among the bodies, checking the killed Rostock people.

"It seems that he was suddenly attacked in surprise." The other javes came down from the horse, and they carefully avoided their internal organs and broken limbs. Many of the attacked Rostock people had no weapons in their hands, and the wounds they slashed were caused by close distance, indicating that they were suddenly killed by the people around them.

"Is it an internal strife?" The captain of the Javelin Cavalry looked around. The destruction of the Rostock people was too strange. At this moment, another team of Javelin Cavalry returned from the other side.

"Captain, you should come here to take a look." This team of javelin cavalry seemed to have discovered something, and the captain of the javelin cavalry rode his horse to a clearing in the forest.

In the sunlight, the Rostock Chief Chiluo was flying with his upper body. The blood under his body dyed the soil black and purple. A fatal blow was on his neck. The wound that was turned into dead white, and the green-headed flies were squirming and flying. The eyes of Chief Rostock were covered with white mist, and his dead fish-like eyes seemed to be full of reluctance. A few days ago, this was a Slavic noble who commanded thousands of people, but at this time, only a pile of stinky meat and stench were left.

"That's right, Chief Rostock." The captain of the Javelin Cavalry took out a piece of linen and hid it in his mouth and nose. He squatted down and looked at the body carefully. When he attacked the Rostock people, he had seen the energetic chief. He waved the stick in his hand that symbolized authority and directed his soldiers.

"It's really strange, why did he take off his armor, as if he was voluntarily giving up resistance." The other javelin cavalry led their horses and stood behind the captain and stared.

"Who is it?" Suddenly the Javelin Cavalry Captain stood up. He threw the javelin in his hand fiercely, and the javelin hit a bush not far from them, and at the same time, a human scream came.

"Brush." ​​The Javelin Cavalry quickly threw away the reins of the horse in their hands, bent down and pulled out the saber from their waists, and rushed into the bushes.

"Ah, don't kill me." A ragged Slav was pushed to the captain's feet in a dusty state. He looked at the javes wearing leather armor and holding shiny sabres in his hands, kneeling on the ground and daring to stand up.

"Who are you? Why are you hiding here?" The captain of the Javelin Cavalry glanced at his companions and asked the Slavs on the ground.

"I am the closest to Chief Rostock." The ragged Slav swallowed, knelt on the ground and looked at Chief Rostock's body and said.

"Chief's follow?" The captain of the Javelin Cavalry looked at the ragged man on the ground in disbelief. As the chief's follower, both in equipment and in style, he was close to the nobles. But is this down-and-out man on the ground really the follower of Chief Rostock? But if this is true, it may be possible to figure out who attacked Chief Rostock.

Soon the captain of the Javelin Cavalry learned about the incident from the man who claimed to be the chief's personal follower. They were stationed at the border under the leadership of the chief and waited for reinforcements. When Chief Rostock's male pet led the army and supplies, they were as happy as others, looking for food in the baggage truck, and not eating well for several days made them weak. It was precisely because of this that the chief's personal followers forgot their duties in the face of hunger.

"Later we were attacked by reinforcements, and then I realized that the chief was gone. We were in chaos without command, and that was simply a massacre." The ragged man stretched out his dirty sleeves and wiped his eyes. He whimpered at the captain of the Javet Cavalry.

"Do you know who attacked you?" asked the Javelin Cavalry Captain unmoved.

"I was chased by several people, but after I stabbed one of them with a spear, my spear broke, so I could only run to the dense forest helplessly, and found the chief's body here. But at that time I didn't care about restraining the body and hid in the cave formed by the roots of a big tree. At that time, I heard the people chasing me say that Ms. Marty asked them to gather, and then they left, and I also ran away after waiting for a while."

"Matty?" The captain of the Javelin Cavalry frowned. The name was very strange. As a civilian, he had never heard of it.

"That was the daughter of Momis, the eldest son of the Great Chief of Mecklenburg, and the ruler of the county of Willer." Chief Rostock's personal companion explained to the captain. As a nobleman, he followed Chief Rostock in and out of the palace, he knew very well that the aristocratic family genealogy of the Great Chief of Mecklenburg.

"There is another thing I don't understand. Since you escaped, why are you back again?" asked the captain of the Javelin Cavalry.

"I, I can't bear to let Chief Rostock's corpse go wild." Chief Rostock's personal face turned red, and he replied uneasy.

"Take this guy back to Mecklenburg Castle and hand it over to Count Arod." The captain of the Javelin Cavalry shivered when he thought of Chief Rostock's hobby, waved to his subordinates, tied the infatuated accompanying Chief Rostock's body together and placed it on the horse.

Arod was just a little stunned when he learned about the death of Chief Rostock. He was discussing with Monk Elvit about the reconstruction of territory. The report of the Javelin Cavalry and the body of Chief Rostock changed his mind, who had originally planned to concentrate on the reconstruction of territory.

"If Chief Rostock dies, who will inherit his territory?" Aroud asked Monk Elvit on the stone steps of the tower.

"Sorry, my earl, I don't know anything about the Slavs." Monk Elvit said apologetically. Information was not his special item.

"Yes, where is Harvey? Call her to see me." Arod then realized that he had asked the wrong person. He was so excited that he made such a low-level mistake. When Chief Rostock died, Rostock County would have no leader. Isn't this the best time to seize his land?

When Harvey appeared in front of Arude with a lazy and sleepy eyes, he was stunned by Arude's questioning like a cannon. However, she quickly realized Arude's intention. The intelligence network had reported to her what was happening in Rostock County, but she had not yet come to report it.

"Arhod Rostock County is now in a mess. Do you think it is necessary to get involved?" Harvey wrapped his fingers around his hair. The courtiers around him felt that this female star was becoming more and more feminine. Of course, everyone knew what was going on. Sometimes, Harvey's screams from Arhod's room in the middle of the night could almost shake the eardrums of people in the tower.

"What happened? What news did you get?" Arod's heart skipped a beat when he heard Harvey's words. Could it be that anyone else had already touched Rostock County?

"Not only did the Woller's female wolf target Rostock County, but even the nominal heir of Mecklenburg's Grand Chief Billis sent troops, all fighting for the legacy left by Rostock." Harvey told Arod and other court officials what he knew. Thanks to the information conveyed by the Owl of the Blood Drop Brotherhood, the news was so timely.

"I think Marty of Willle was dispatched to send troops, but why did Billis also dispatch troops so quickly? Does he have the ability to predict the future?" Aroud asked in surprise.

"Of course not, that Billis is not ordinary insidious. When he asked Chief Rostock to attack us, he might have already made plans to annex Rostock County, so I said that if Chief Rostock leaves his castle, then the waiting for him will be death or loss of territory."

"The pagans have no credibility at all, and they actually attacked their own people behind their backs." Sir Ban held the sword around his waist and said angrily, but Aruod sat on the lord's chair without saying a word. The intrigues of the nobles had nothing to do with faith at all. Aren't the royal family and local dukes of the Roman Holy Empire also intrigue?

"Great Earl, maybe we should focus on the construction of territory. After all, our war with Chief Rostock this time has suffered a lot." Monk Elvit came out and suggested to Aroud that the damaged villages and settlements should be restored. Although Aroud does not need to worry about restoring the villages and the farmers will rebuild their own homes, during this period, the farmers need support from Mecklenburg Castle.

"I've decided." Arod stroked his chin with his hand and thought for a while. Suddenly he stood up and said to the courtiers in a loud voice, "Julian and Sir Ban brought the cavalry to Rostock County, planted my flag on the coastal land and villages, and declared my authority to the Slavs, but remember that if you encounter the soldiers of Marty and Billis, you will firmly annihilate them if you have a small group of horses, but if you withdraw immediately, you must give full play to the advantage of war horses, so I allow you and your soldiers to carry more than two horses each."

"It's the Count." Although Julian and the Jazz class did not understand why Arod chose coastal land instead of the fertile hinterland, they looked at Arod, standing in front of the throne of the lord, and quickly lowered their heads and accepted Arod's orders.

"Before the storm? What do you want to do, Arod?" Harvey said in a low voice as Arod ordered Arod to his men.

"Sir Earl, the royal messenger appeared outside the castle." At this moment, a German soldier hurried into the hall. He saw Aruod hurriedly step forward to report to him.

"Royal Envoy?" Aruod looked at the soldiers who reported to him in surprise, wondering why the royal envoy suddenly came to his castle.
