"There are Marcus knights on the border. It cannot be lost so easily. Just over twenty days ago, those devil-like villains trampled on our wheat field. It was Marcus! He used the sword in his hand to defend ours. dignity!
You also know the news coming from the Kent area. It turns out that they were a large force invading, but they were derailed by the wind and waves. These two devils are the most famous 'leaders' in the Danish Viking area recently, 'Arger the Sword Wolf' ' and 'Big Bear Inge', but even they are no match for Marcus..."
Bol talked more and more, trying to inspire everyone's confidence.
And when it comes to persuading people, the more you say, sometimes your words prove to be unconvincing.
If you have the strength, one strike (speech) is often enough to set the tone.
Not to mention that Marcus only had half his life left, and there was another person who came with the letter.
That was one of the "two captured soldiers" who was left in the Oran camp at that time.
At that time, a soldier was returned to the border, and another soldier was left in the Oran camp. Apart from losing his freedom, the soldier who stayed was not treated badly. Oran had people treat him with the same diet as a "quasi-knight" , and asked Ladd to arrange women for him.
Common people pursue nothing more than a few things, women, food, and status.
Before letting this man go, Ladd told him, "Listen, your other accomplice has been returned to the border a long time ago. As our secret agent, your family has also been transferred to our hands. Now I will let you go back. If you dare to betray Your Excellency (Olan), your family will die.
You just need to tell Mrs. Rowling that Marcus has been bribed and that the border conflict is all an act.
You disappeared for so long because you accidentally discovered Marcus's secret deal with our White Eagle leaders, and were hunted down. You had to hide in the mountains and forests. Now that your body has recovered, you returned to the castle as soon as possible to expose the conspiracy..."
The words still lingered in his ears. When the soldier was brought to Mrs. Rowling's hall, he immediately acted out the fake show he had rehearsed countless times in the Oran camp, complaining bitterly that Marcus had led border soldiers to rob and even corrupt Mrs. Rowling. Soldiers' pay.
"He also said disrespectful words towards you (Rowling)..."
The soldier pretended to be extremely frightened and curled up.
"What did he say?!" Bol asked.
"He said that one day, he would let the most noble lady in the territory experience how fast his 'sword' is..."
What sword?!
Everyone understood, and Mrs. Rowling was angry and embarrassed.
This was simply outrageous, but the soldier said it with certainty. When Rowling asked "Boll" to identify whether the soldier was a border soldier, Bol was angry and helpless and said "yes", which further heightened Rowling's and everyone's suspicions.
The weird atmosphere is spreading.
"Madam, the situation has become obvious. Knight Marcus wants to 'draw his sword' against you... and wants to do you harm." After a knight finished speaking, he misunderstood and changed the last word.
The soldier's words made these knight masters feel a little wave in their hearts.
As a baroness, Rowling was well-loved because her face and body fit the aristocracy’s ideal of beauty.
The swollen upper body and the voice that can make people's hearts itch. There are also some knights who would carry their "swords" to commit crimes in their sleep.
The businessman who had been Rowling's lover and the new butler of the castle also said jealously, "He can't be trusted anymore!"
Rowling originally wanted to call Marcus back to defend the city, but now she didn't want to after hearing about the soldiers who had escaped.
"No! He fought against the Vikings for us. If he had other intentions, he would not let himself fall into such a dangerous situation, sister!"
But Boer's words were of no use. Oran had said in his previous letter that the powerful White Eagle Lord now had "a thousand soldiers (actually seven to eight hundred) and nearly a hundred cavalry (fifty to the sky)." This number had already exceeded The people in the castle were in panic.
Thousand King Masters!
At this time, in wild areas such as "Wales" or "Ireland", there were many tribal forces who dared to call themselves "chiefs" or even "kings" after gathering two to three hundred people.
"Madam, why don't we recognize Lord Oran as the new lord?" a knight suggested.
"No, then we will lose our independence and autonomy?" Boll immediately objected.
"What can we use to fight? If we hold on, if we make His Excellency Oran dissatisfied, we will be hanged after the city is broken!"
"Yes, the letter sent by His Excellency Oran said that he is already a vassal of King Ella, and according to the king's order, the baronial rule here will not be changed. At most, we will pay more taxes in the future."
"Can Olan believe it?" The scale in Rowling's heart has already moved toward surrender.
"He is just a robber. He has taken the territory of the Moore family. Now that he has not come yet, you are afraid to call him Your Excellency, a bunch of weaklings!" Bol angrily scolded everyone.
Soft goods?
When one of the knights heard this, he almost wanted to pull down his pants and let the woman try his sword.
After the death of the former baron, mother and son Rowling's control over the territory became weaker and weaker. If the former baron hadn't been too ruthless, he would have killed everyone in the family before his death, and also arranged some loyal castle servants and trusted knights. Protect mother and child.
Maybe someone close to the baron would join forces with other knights to drive out this pleasure-loving Lady Rowling.
In the past two years, everyone had known about Rowling's secret affairs. She had replaced the castle butler with a male favorite, and was appointed a trusted knight by the former baron. One died of illness and the other died on the battlefield.
The reign of Rowling and her son, even without Orlan, will come to an end with the next Viking invasion.
"I am willing to serve as an envoy to meet His Excellency Oran."
Seeing Luo Lin's expression as deflated as a rubber ball, the others volunteered to see Oran.
Their plan was this: after meeting the righteous "King of Oran", they would say that with all their hard work and persuasion, Mrs. Rowling could successfully hand over the castle, so as to gain a reputation in front of Oran and get re-employed.
Everyone can see that the Canaan family is finished!
The earlier you “lead the way”, the more you will gain.
Mrs. Rowling had to blurt out several times - sending people to see Oran to declare surrender, but she also wanted to see if there was a miracle?
In the end, everyone was allowed to go down first, and the knights were asked to lead people to harvest the surrounding farmland in advance, and harvest as much food as they could accumulate into the city.
And such behavior is tantamount to abandoning the people in the outer areas of the city.
When this order was issued, the hearts of the last few knights or followers who wanted to do their best for the Canaan family became cold.
After the meeting, Boll stopped the soldier who came back to report the news and had him arrested. When he failed to interrogate him, he started beating him.
She had learned this method from being among men. Elegance and gentleness were not hers. She didn't trust this soldier from the bottom of her heart, so she dared to treat him like this.
But in the end, nothing was asked.
That night, Bol tossed and turned,
Women always like to think wildly. It didn't take long for her to move from the safety of her collar to think about the things the soldiers said today that could make people feel hot.
"Madam, my sword is very fast..."
