The appearance of siege weapons drawings was beyond the expectations of the Bohemia. As a nation originating from the grassland, the Bohemia had powerful soldiers and cavalry, but lacked siege weapons to attack the thick walls of the farming nations. Because the birth of this weapon required the accumulation of knowledge of mathematics and mechanical physics, and the Bohemia lacked the material and civilization basis for the birth of this knowledge, so the Bohemia could only learn through the input of foreign nations. Unfortunately, other nations also knew the preciousness of this knowledge and rarely had such technology leaked out.

"Is this true?" The first reaction of the Duke of Bohemia was to doubt after obtaining the coveted military secret. No wonder such precious drawings appeared in the hands of merchants, which made people doubt.

"I don't know much, but the picture on the sheepskin looks very practical. Although I don't know the Latin above, I can be sure that the things on it are of great use to our attack on the castle of Count Lauzits." Count Ota said excitedly.

"You mean the merchant gave this thing to us?" The Duke of Bohemia was the monarch who ruled a principality after all. He did not immediately be happy, but instead became suspicious of the inexplicable drawing of siege weapons.

"He is a military merchant. He is willing to present the drawings to the Duke, but he asks for a little reward." Earl Ota said to the Duke.

“What reward?”

"He demanded the first-hand right to sell slaves and seized items after he entered the castle." Earl Ota replied, frowning at the merchant's greedy Duke.

"I really dare to speak. He knew how much wealth there is?" The Duke of Bohemia sneered, but when his eyes fell on the drawings, he felt that maybe the price was appropriate. At this time, he realized that the drawings were only half, so he raised his head and asked Earl Ota. "Where is the other half?"

"The merchant said he would meet the Duke before he was willing to offer it." Earl Ota said helplessly to the Duke of Bohemia.

"I can meet him, a cunning merchant, but where is he from? What purpose must be clarified, is he sincerely serves us or a spy from another country?" The Duke of Bohemia put away half of the drawing. He realized the importance of this drawing, but out of caution he decided to treat the mysterious merchant carefully.

"Of course this is my Duke." Earl Ota and the Duke of Bohemia smiled. He knew very well what he should do. This was a tacit understanding created by a long-term relationship.

The merchant who contributed the drawings was taken to the camp of the Duke of Bohemia. The merchant, who seemed to have become timid, was waiting for the duke's summons with anticipation. He stood at the entrance of the camp and looked at the fat and strong war horses and majestic Bohemian soldiers in the camp. These Bohemia soldiers spoke rudely and loudly, and would fight together if they were disagreeable, and the nobles would never stop it. Instead, they touched their beards and watched the fights of their subordinates, and motivated both sides.

"Are you the merchant who came to pay homage to the Duke?" At this time, two Bohemian knights came over and asked the merchant.

"Yes, noble Lord." The merchant quickly bent down and took off his hat and bowed, fearing that he would anger the rude Bohemians, and his trembling seemed to satisfy the knights, and they waved to him to order him to follow.

Under the leadership of the Bohemian knights, they walked through the messy camps, and from time to time, soldiers hit the merchants on the ground. Looking at the merchants covered in horse manure and mud, everyone burst into laughter. The merchants did not dare to resist at all, and finally stopped in front of a tent. However, looking at the Earl of Ota standing in front of them, the merchants were stunned and didn't know what this meant.

"Do it." Earl Ota held the hilt of the knife with one hand and inserted the other hand around his waist. The feather-decorated helmet, a pair of chain mail and shirt were majestic. Earl Ota nodded at the knights behind the merchants.

"Um." Suddenly, the Bohemian Knight grabbed the merchant's arm, tied him up, and then pushed him into the tent. The merchant exclaimed in horror, but it was useless.

"Baoba~~." When he was pushed into the tent, the merchant found that there was a group of goats locked in the tent. It seemed that this was the place where Bohemians replenished their fresh meat. He was shocked by the merchant who suddenly pushed into the tent. The flock of sheep became uneasy and was vacant of a place full of slut dung balls.

"Ah, ah~~." The merchant was pressed to the ground by the knights and kicked hard with his feet and beaten with his scabbard. He rolled on the ground in an attempt to hide, but it was useless at all and had to roll and wail.

"Why are you, sir?" the merchant said crying while avoiding the beating.

"The lowly embryo, the guy cursed by the gods, your identity as a spy has been exposed by us." The knights stepped on his back and cursed at the merchants.

"Oh no, I'm not a spy, I'm a businessman."

"Enough, you lying guy." Earl Ota grabbed the merchant's head fiercely and pressed him into the sheep dung pile on the ground, sticking to the steaming sheep dung pile. The smell of sheep can suffocate people.

"Ah, help." The merchant cried with sheep dung on his face. At this time, he heard the sound of the sword behind him being unsheathed, and was overly panicked and incoherent. Earl Ota picked up the sharp knife and slid around the merchant's neck. The cold blade made the merchant extremely frightened.

"Ha, this guy actually pissed his pants." A stinking smell that was different from the smell of sheep spread from the merchant's crotch. The Bohemian laughed and pointed at the two spans of the merchant. Even Earl Ota had to stand up.

"Well, wash him clean and take him to see the Duke." Earl Ota nodded with satisfaction, ruled out the identity of a merchant spy. Such a timid guy can only be a merchant.

The merchant with a frightened face was washed again and brought to the Duke of Bohemia. Looking at the merchant who was shaking like a quail, even Earl Ota asked himself if he had scared this guy too much, but at least the merchant spoke in a very organized manner.

"So did your drawing get this from Constantinople?" the Duke of Bohemia asked the merchant with the drawing.

"Yes, Lord Duke, well, a guild merchant in Constantinople owed me money, so he used this thing to repay the debt. You know Lord Duke, I was deceived. The damn guy said that if there were nobles who could recognize goods, they would definitely pay a lot of money, but you see that this thing must be worth nothing, otherwise Lord Earl would definitely not treat me like this." The merchant cried in front of the duke. Looking at the pitiful merchant made the Duke of Bohemia feel a little funny.

"He is right, this thing is very valuable, don't worry, as long as you can help us make the things on this drawing, I can make you a supplier of the great Bohemia army from now on, and you will have your wealth after conquering the castle." The Duke of Bohemia generously promised.

"I just want to save my lowly life."

"Don't worry, from now on, you will be my guest. No Bohemian can harm you without my permission." The Duke of Bohemia comforted the merchant.

"Then I'm so grateful." The merchant quickly bowed and thanked the Duke of Bohemia.

The Bohemians began to cut down trees under the command of merchants. The entire Bohemian camp seemed to be a logging field. The captured slaves carried the wood, measured the length of the wood with measuring ropes, and tied the wood with linen ropes according to the drawings. The Bohemian nobles didn't care at first, but gradually when the slaves combined part of the wood, the nobles on the grassland were shocked. They looked at the tall object and seemed to see monsters, while the war horses under their crotch were uneasy in the shadows.

"Duke, what is this?" The Bohemian nobles came to the Duke's tent and asked about the incredible object.

"It is the first time I have seen this thing, so why not let him explain it." The Duke of Bohemia proudly touched the two beards on his lips, said to the nobles, and called the merchant who brought the drawings.

"Dear men, it is said that the Byzantines called this thing the siege tower, which was passed down from ancient Roman times. Please see the tall tower body, divided into four floors, and each floor can be stationed. When the tower approaches the castle wall, you only need to lower the suspension bridge, and the soldiers can rush up the city wall from the tower without any cover, catching the arrow rain in the castle."

"So what is the other one?" The Bohemian nobles turned their eyes to another behemoth, which is similar to the siege tower, but does not have a suspension bridge.

"This is called a hanging tower. The men can see that it has a pedestal that can be hung up and a boom below. When the archers crowded the pedestal, they used the boom to hang high above the wall, so that they could shoot the guards on the wall from top to bottom." The merchant explained to the Bohemian nobles.

"We can also put the soldiers on, hang them up and put them on the city wall." Earl Ota said, touching his chin and looking at the tower.

"Yes, it's completely correct." The merchant complimented Count Ota.

"A good businessman." The Duke of Bohemia said with a laugh, his eyes lit up, full of a mighty spirit, and it was foreseeable that Count Lauzici's castle would be destroyed under these magical weapons.
