The Duke of Bohemia was riding exhausted on his horse. At this time, rain fell from the sky, and the raindrops hit the Duke's armor and made a jingle sound. The Duke looked at the mane of the war horse flowing with rain, his eyes were stunned without any sense of color. The soldiers' coughs came beside him, and the wailing sounds of wounded soldiers could be heard. Most of the wounded soldiers were burns. In the era of lack of disinfection, this wound only means more painful death.

"It would have been better if the rain could have fallen earlier." The Duke of Bohemia looked up at the rain falling in the sky, but then he shook his head. The flames emitted by the terrifying Germanic monster car could not even be extinguished. It was like a karma fire from hell. Now the Duke could still feel the faint smell of sulfur in his nose.

"Dude, please don't be discouraged. We have only lost one thousand people. The remaining two thousand loyal soldiers can still fight the Masons." Earl Ota came to the Duke of Bohemia and comforted his monarch. After being defeated by Arod, the Bohemia retreated to a looted village several miles, gathering troops here again. Finally, it was calculated that in the battle of the basin, the Duke of Bohemia lost more than one thousand people, most of which were walking soldiers, and the cavalry fled the fastest.

"Are the nobles' emotions still stable?" The Duke of Bohemia sighed. If the Germans had not lacked cavalry troops, their losses would not be only one thousand people, but as long as the nobles were still gathered by the Duke of Bohemia, soldiers would always be recruited again.

"Although they have suffered setbacks, they still support you faithfully." Earl Ota looked at the Duke of Bohemia who seemed to have grown a lot overnight, and understood his anxiety and concerns, so he hurriedly reported to him.

"That's good, but I'm worried that after the news of the defeat spread, the nobles of the Principal of Mason might attack us. We must think of a way." The Duke of Bohemia, supported by Earl Otto, entered the only house in the village that had not been burned to hide from the rain, but the other soldiers were not so lucky. They curled up beside the ruins, holding their arms and shivering in the rain. At this time, they cursed the compatriots who had looted the countryside of Earl Lauziz and set fire to the fire. If it weren't for the burning so clean, there would be a place to live.

The Duke of Bohemia's concerns are not groundless. The reason why the Bohemia was able to enter an uninhabited state in the Duchy of Mason was just because of their ferocity and reputation for being invincible, which made the vassals of the Duchy of Mason curled up in their respective castles, and no one dared to face the terrible Bohemia cavalry's iron hooves. But now there are people who defeat the more with fewer and beat the army led by the Duchy of Bohemia to the point of being beaten. For the nobles of the Principal of Mason who bully the weak and fear the strong, this is a good time to take the blame.

Arod also saw this very keenly and ordered the Blood Drop Brothers to promote the failure of the Duke of Bohemia at all costs. It is necessary to let other nobles return to the banner of Earl Eble, which was exactly the plan Arod had set with Earl Eble before going to war.

"Dingdong, Dingdong, a wild boar was running in the forest, followed by a noble hunting dog, barking and biting its prey. When the boar fell, the owner obtained the most beautiful fresh meat of the boar, while the hunting dog was only given a thin bone. Oh, poor old Jack." Next to a trail, a small hotel for passers-by to rest and eat, a bard wearing a steep hat twirled the lyre in his hands and sang folk songs in his beautiful voice, so that people who were resting in the hotel could eat and drink inferior ale while listening to pleasant folk songs and earn some money for themselves.

"Table~~~." Suddenly the door of the hotel was opened, and several dusty horse riders walked into the hotel from outside. Seeing that they were dressed like people serving a lord, they strode into the hotel.

"Is there anything you need?" The hotel owner walked up with his big belly and asked carefully. The waists of these people were covered with swords, which seemed to be not easy to mess with.

"Listen to me, we are the palace ministers of Duke Mason and the servant of the Count of Mecklenburg. Now there is good news to tell everyone, please listen quietly." One of the men with a loud voice walked to the center of the hotel a few steps. He jumped onto a wooden table and announced loudly to the people in the hotel.

"What happened?" The other guests looked at the group of people curiously, but the palace appearance of the Principality of Mason was enough to arouse their curiosity, and these people from all over the world were waiting patiently.

"The brave Earl of Mecklenburg led a unit of one thousand men to defeat the five thousand army led by the Duke of Bohemia. At this time, the Duke of Bohemia was fleeing everywhere in a mess."

"What? The Bohemians were defeated, how could this be true?" The people in the hotel exclaimed in surprise. Everyone knew about the news of the Bohemian invasion of the Principal of Mason, but no one thought that the Principal of Mason had a chance to win. Originally, Henry, the King of East Frank, could help them, but because of the accidental death of the Duke of Saxony, the political balance in the kingdom was broken, leaving the royal family without any energy to help the Principal of Mason. But now there is actually some people who promote the Prime Minister of Mason's Principal of Mason led his army to defeat the Duke of Bohemian. What a shocking thing. If this is true, then this is a big event that surprised the princes.

"Yes, cheer, the Bohemians have fled with their tails and soon you will hear more from the county of Lauziz." The proclaimer said, then jumped off the wooden table, then strode to the bard, and took out a few silver pots from his pocket and threw them to the bard.

"You bard, make this thing into a ballad and spread it to all countries in all directions. Isn't this your duty?"

"Yes, thank you, my honorable lord, I will start this matter immediately." The bard took the silver guarantor, who earned more than he had in a week. The excited bard thanked the generous almsman.

"Today, all the wines in the hotel are considered honorable Lord Mason Palace, the conquerors of the pagans, the nemesis of the Bohemians, and the Count of Mecklenburg." The uninvited guest who broke in was more generous than that. He took out some of the silver in his pocket and handed it to the hotel owner, and announced loudly to the other guests in the hotel.

"Thank you for the generous Earl of Mecklenburg." The guests of the hotel enthusiastically raised the wine glasses in their hands, whistling loudly, and thanked Arod for his generosity. Looking at these excited people, the intruder nodded at this time with his companions and walked out of the hotel with his companions. He could be sure that these tourists from all directions would soon pass the news to the ears of the lords, and the same thing was happening in three or four counties.

"The red lion spreads its teeth and claws to the west. It tore the goats of the villagers, and the good people, and roars at the cross of Christ, looking arrogant. But at this time the black lion sent by Christ has come. O the righteous lion, majestic and powerful. The black lion stepped forward and pressed the red lion down, broke the red lion's fangs, pulled out the red lion's claws, and roared at it, "Get out, go back to your own grassland, in the name of Christ and the Virgin, the red lion's teeth were removed, and his claws were broken, and he had to escape everywhere in shame like a skinny dog."

The minstrels plucked the strings in their hands, sang praises Arod in their loud voices, and belittled the Bohemian songs. In the lords' houses, in the taverns beside the road, in the valleys of the villages, in the squares of the towns, were the songs of the red and black lions everywhere. People smiled happily when listening to the songs, and children followed the minstrels and learned to sing in out-of-tune voices.

"Public opinion must occupy the commanding heights of public opinion at any time." Arod sat in a noble house, the house of a squire who survived the ravages of the Bohemians. The nobles inside had long fled to the next territory to avoid war, so Arod requisitioned the house without hesitation. The German mercenary soldiers also needed a place to rest. Eating soft bread and bacon, there was no better way to rest in a place with a roof. He sat comfortably on the wooden chair and said to Baron Wendell.

"Are you going to encourage the nobles to join in this battle?" Baron Wendell chewed the bacon in his mouth. He seemed to understand Arod's idea. Although the Bohemians were defeated, their strength was still there and they had just temporarily retreated. If the nobles of the Principal of Mason muster up the courage to join Arod's side, they might have a chance of victory, and it would be no use Arod to fight the Bohemians at huge military risks.

"I think we can win by relying on us. Your monster car is so powerful, just like the lightning of God coming to the mortal world." Yifu chewed the meat in big mouth, burping with satisfaction, and said to Arude.

"No, monster cars are only more effective when used in specific terrain and environments. And there are a lot of preparations to use. We cannot pin our hopes on one or two weapons. In the end, it is more effective for war or humans." Aruod shook his head and his mind was very clear. The Bohemians were defeated because they had never encountered flamethrowers. If they gradually got used to this weapon, then monster cars would no longer be a killer weapon.
