When the rooster crows and dawn breaks, Oran once again walks to the top of the castle. The sun is about to break and there is a cool breeze blowing from the distance, which makes him feel comfortable.
That night, Olan enjoyed the increase in health, and his pale complexion improved a lot. Mi'er and Karin were very surprised, classifying this as a gift from God, and called him the "Son of God."
The two of them didn't sleep that night. When they took turns taking care of Olan, they prayed devoutly in their room.
This morning, Oran didn't need anyone to follow him. After walking to the top, he was only followed by soldiers.
Oran waved, and the soldiers around him took out bread crumbs and sprinkled them. Soon, birds came down to look for food.
The birds are chirping and full of vitality. In the past, Oran found it annoying, but today it is not.
After a while, more and more birds passed by in the sky, until when a falcon circled and flew by, several white eagle flags on the castle flew together, seeming to echo it.
The falcon flew into the distance until it disappeared. The direction happened to be the old baron's territory.
When the sun set and lengthened the shadow of the person, the team led by Kunsang and others below the castle was already ready to go.
Olan put on his military uniform early in the morning and washed himself thoroughly.
But what he wore was different from his father. He removed the heavy armor and wore soft leather armor. He also wore light protective gear on his hands and feet to reduce the burden on his body. .
Because he doesn't need to fight in person, his force value is "usable" and he only needs to be able to compete with the masters in a few moves, so he doesn't need such a heavy burden.
Just like his father, he has the family sword - "Immortal" - polished and polished on his waist.
Oran stood condescendingly, and then pulled out the Immortal. At this moment, the golden sun's rays brushed against the sword, and the light dispersed. The soldiers looking up at Oran below saw the light and shadow coming from the Lord's body.
Powerful!
miracle!
Kunsang even shouted, "Salute!"
Those soldiers who could kneel down on one knee all did so, and those whose armor was too heavy to do so had to turn their arms instead.
The oath taken before going into battle filled the hearts of the soldiers and Oran with a sense of pride.
There are only a few hundred men now, but Olan is confident that soon his troops will be as strong as a glance.
When his army goes out to fight, the soldiers walk in order, with the spears in their hands moving forward, like a dark forest moving, and when they step out, they can trample the ground, and the fighting spirit emanating from their bodies can swallow up everything!
"Go to war!" Oran's sword pointed in the direction of the Falcon.
It is said to be an expedition, but in fact it is more like taking over territory. The old baron's side suffered heavy losses after a battle. Although there are still a few villages that have not been occupied, the main city has been destroyed. As long as Oran enters, the rest will be remnants. Defeated general.
Oran recruited 80 new recruits, many of whom were old and weak. They all lined up at the back of the queue and showed off their bluff. As a result, the number of troops led by Oran personally this time reached 180 people.
Anyway, they were not allowed to fight, so they did not have any equipment, just empty-handed, but they could receive their weapons after arriving in the old baron territory.
After crossing the narrow river, the single-plank bridge, and the outpost and border tower that were taken down last night.
Avalon, who was being pulled by a horse-mounted prison cart, finally saw his home.
Earlier, he was still praying that nothing happened to the territory, but after seeing Oran pass through without any hindrance, he knew it was over.
Baron West and his father were both passionate about faith. When they were young, both generations spent a lot of money to renovate the church in the territory and recruit priests. The largest church in County Durham was located in his In the main city.
The height of this church is even higher than the main wall. You can see this building when looking from a distance.
"Sir, we're coming soon."
The scouts sent out from the front went back and forth to prevent Oran from getting into trouble. When West's main city was in sight, Oran rode his horse to the front, but still placed riders at the front to block guns for protection.
Who knows if there will be a sneak attack?
Then Kunsang led a group of horses and ran out of the team, went to the castle and shouted to occupy the castle. When Nanding came to the tower, he saw it and ordered his men to open the city gate.
Last night, Nanding had imprisoned all the disobedient people in this castle.
After Oran entered the city gate, twenty soldiers gathered around him, including Nan Ding. Then Nan Ding presented a list, all made of yellowed leather paper, recording the wealth of the castle.
Oran did not look at it immediately, but acted to show sympathy for his subordinates. He put his hand on Nanding's shoulder and said twice, "Thank you for your hard work."
"My lord, do you want to see the old baron? I locked him in the chapel room of the castle."
"Bring to me."
Castle Oran itself also has one. The Seven Kingdoms of England in the ninth century were all pretty much the same except for a few particularly large castles.
He looked around and found nothing special, but this prominent and towering church attracted him the most, and ordered Kunsang to follow him.
"Sir, the name of this church is..."
The priests in the city are considered to be the most courteous group. After all, they are servants of God and belong to churches in various places. They only go to the lords' territories to serve.
A middle-aged priest, wearing the attire of a middle-level clergyman, introduced Oran.
Several people following Olan saw this church for the first time, and they exclaimed, "Oh my God, this church is so spectacular!"
"When I went on a pilgrimage to the southern city of Rome, did I see such a beautiful church?"
The priest looked at these country bumpkins with amusement in his heart. The atmosphere of the city of Rome was unimaginable.
Although this priest has never been there, he has only seen the paintings on the parchment.
The priest ignored the followers behind him and said directly to Orlando, "From Baron (West)'s father to now, it took more than forty years of renovation to build this "Basilica" style ancient Roman church.
"This church building runs east-west. The columns divide the internal space into several parts longitudinally. After the division, the area is larger in the middle and smaller on both sides..."
In the middle of the priest's introduction, Olan suddenly interrupted.
"I know that this word comes from Latin, and its original meaning is the hall of the king."
Olan's words impressed the middle-aged priest, and then the two started talking in Latin.
As an Oran who was well-read in many languages and theology, he and the priest could talk for three days and three nights without stopping.
The priest admired Oran very much, and he also felt strange in his mind, how could such a gentle and polite young nobleman be so cruel, killing many people last night, and throwing the bodies directly into the street.
After looking inside the church for a while, the initial excitement had passed.
No matter how luxurious the church was, it was considered fat in the eyes of the Vikings.
On countless celebration Sundays, the Vikings showed up, broke down the gates, and took everything away.
Olan looked over and found many repair marks.
One can imagine how much effort the old baron put into maintaining this church.
"My lord, Baron West is here."
Nanding asked the soldiers to hold the old baron's arms on both sides to restrict his movements. He treated the old man like a cat or a dog and forced him to carry him.
Since the middle-aged priest was sent here by the church to teach the divine grace, and received the courtesy of West for five years, he immediately said, "Master Oran, as a fellow believer, you should be friendly and respectful instead of being so persecuting. I hope that your subordinates I can let go of Lord West."
"Ah."
This sneer came from Kunsang.
Friendship? Respect? Fellow believers?
When the middle-aged priest looked at him, Kunsang replied without hesitation, "Respected priest, I was once treated as a slave by the Vikings. In England, there were still Viking lands that were so cold that even sand did not grow. times back and forth.
Do you know what I saw?
I saw many nobles with crosses on their bodies, treating people as livestock, tying them with ropes as goods, and selling them to the Vikings or buying them from the Vikings.
They never thought about rescuing fellow believers, they only thought about profits. As long as they gave enough money, they could even sell their parents and children! The advantages of the nobility you mentioned will only appear in books and in sleep. "
There are two situations for the victims of captured Vikings. One is that their spirit, will and body are destroyed, and the other is seeking revenge. In serious cases like Kunsang, the belief in revenge is constantly increasing. Whenever the past is mentioned, The whole body exudes the aura that no one should approach, and only killing can calm the pain.
