"Master El, that's almost it. Further ahead is the land of the Kingdom of Jutland. Those Vikings are not easy to mess with."
Seeing El looking at the land of Schleswig with great interest, Knight Gore's eyes flashed with helplessness again, and he began to pray in his heart.
Gods bless you, don't let this young master have any more thoughts. This journey is really thrilling.
First, when they made a sneak attack on Count Ditmarschen's army, Count Ditmarschen did not choose to run away immediately. Instead, he led his bodyguards to charge towards El's army.
With the heroic performance of Count Dietmarschen and his guards, the morale of the Franconian cavalry was once shaken, and they almost left El and ran away.
At the critical moment, if Knight Gore and Otto's guards hadn't rushed across the flank of Count Ditmarschen's army, it's hard to say what the outcome of the Battle of Ditmarschen would have been.
After finally relying on luck to capture Earl of Ditmarschen and plunder the entire Earl of Ditmarschen, the task was successfully completed. However, El did not seem to want to stop and continued to march north with his army. Arriving at the border of the Kingdom of Jutland and the Kingdom of East Frankia.
This time, Knight Gor was so frightened that he quickly tried to dissuade him.
Obviously, El was unlikely to listen.
"Knight Gore, look, we captured Ditmarchen so easily.
This shows what?
It shows that the people nearby are completely unprepared!
That being the case, why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to expand our results? "
"Yes, Master El, you are right. However, we have also raided the gathering place of the Saxons and have successfully completed the task. It is time to return to Bremen.
Master Otto, I'm afraid he is waiting for us anxiously at this time. "
After hearing what El said, Knight Gore had already resigned himself to his fate. He knew that he might not be able to persuade him anymore, but he still wanted to make a symbolic struggle to avoid being scolded without even a word of defense when he returned.
"No, why should Knight Gore pretend not to understand.
I mean, since the Saxons were unprepared, the Vikings who thought we were only fighting the Saxons were equally unprepared, so why didn't we take the opportunity to rob the Vikings too.
They are also enemies of the kingdom! "
El looked at the Gor Knight with twinkling eyes.
Knight Gore still smiled bitterly and shook his head to express his attitude.
“Master El, the Vikings are poor and barbaric, and there really is nothing to rob.
Besides, the kingdom has finally managed to get along with those Viking barbarians in recent years, so we might be in trouble.
If a conflict breaks out between the two sides, we will definitely be punished.
forget it..."
"Who knew this was what we did." El curled his lips now, not caring about the diplomatic problems it would cause. "The people who did it were all Saxons.
Besides, why are only those Vikings allowed to plunder the kingdom and not us?
There is no such reason in the world.
We have cleaned up the unclean people in the temple for the gods, and it is time to do something to spread the gospel for the gods. "
If Otto were here, he would put his arm around El's shoulders affectionately and praise his brother mercilessly.
This guy is simply a born politician. Why, because he is shameless and can even deceive himself.
Good guy, is that called cleaning up the unclean ones for the gods?
Knight Gor is too lazy to complain, you are just robbing the gods.
Besides, are you going to spread the gospel of the gods?
Since when did the gospel of the gods mean killing and robbing people?
But El was right about one thing at least. It was the Saxons who did it. Who could have known it was them?
When the last check was made, how could it possibly be found between him and El.
“Okay, Master El, you have to promise that we can’t go too deep into the Viking land.
Those Vikings are very fierce. If they summon tribal warriors, it will not be easy for us to deal with them. "
"Don't worry." El smiled slightly, with a trace of cruelty flashing in his eyes. "I've made arrangements, and there will definitely be no surprises.
However, Knight Gore, you don’t have to follow me. You lead your troops to plunder the Vikings in the east.
As for the north, I can just do it myself. "
Knight Gore nodded numbly, "Good guy, I didn't expect this second young master to be so courageous. It wasn't enough to grab one Viking tribal kingdom, and he was ready to grab another one."
However, since we have already grabbed one, what difference does it make if we grab another one?
"So, this is the reason why you robbed all the way to Viborg in the middle of Jutland, this is the reason why you robbed all the Baltic Sea, and this is the reason why you chopped off the hand of the Prince of Jutland.
It's all because, now that we've come, we've come? "
In the city of Bremen, Otto sat at the head of the table, with Werner and several Franconian nobles sitting next to him.
The knights El and Gore, who were still high-spirited before, lowered their heads in the face of Otto's questioning.
"Speak, are you mute?
If you are so capable, why not rob all the Vikings?
Do you still remember what military order I gave?
Look at all the good things you've done.
The King of Jutland is going crazy. Now he is recruiting Viking warriors to prepare for war with the kingdom. It is all the fault of the two of you. "
Otto continued to speak, but the two of them remained silent, almost burying their heads in their chests.
After getting the help of the Saxon nobles, Otto easily opened the gate of Bremen and successfully took over the city of Bremen.
Immediately afterwards, following the same method, the few remaining strongholds in the Bremen area also fell into Otto's hands.
This time, Otto did not go on a killing spree. He just took away the church's wealth and at the same time dealt with some of the church's evil-doing priests.
This was not because Otto had changed his gender, but with the arrival of Werner, he brought him a piece of news.
Bach, the Duke elected by the Saxons, has taken refuge with the Duke of Franconia and has been named the new border count of Bremen. The scope of the count includes the entire northern half of Saxony including Bremen.
Now that Bach has surrendered, the war is about to end, so there is no need to continue taking action. These things can naturally be left to the Duke of Franconia.
You can't bear the blame yourself, let the Duke take all the benefits.
Just as Otto stopped in Bremen for repairs, waiting for the Duke of Franconia to go north to join him, El, who had disappeared for a long time, ran back with more than 5,000 people and brought Otto a message.
That is, he robbed the Viking gathering areas on the Baltic Sea coast, and accidentally chopped off one of the hands of the Prince of Jutland who came to stop the robbery.
This was a hornet's nest. The King of Jutland had only such a son, so he naturally wanted to avenge his son. Even Otto in Bremen heard the news of the Vikings gathering.
I thought it was the poor English people who were going to suffer, but I didn't expect that it was me who was going to suffer.
How could Otto not be angry when someone eats melon?
This basket is a little too big.
Under Otto's painstaking performance, Count Werner had no choice but to come out and smooth things over, saying with a smile.
"Don't be angry, Count Otto. I think there is nothing wrong with what Baron El has done. Do you think so?"
