When Delim saw Oran's people approaching, his eyes were unkind and he felt bad.
But Olan didn't have a chance to react to him, nor did he give any reaction to these soldiers who had narrowly escaped death.
Kunsang approached Delim and said, "Now, we need a few words from you."
"What words?"
"Have your men put down their weapons and take the bodies of their companions back. We will keep you safe."
Behind Kunsang is "Tuman the Rat". He just used a Viking one-handed ax to kill three people, which impressed Delim deeply.
At this moment, Tuman was holding a single ax in his right hand, swinging it gently, as if if Delim refused, the killing ax would fly over.
"We are able to win, thanks to His Excellency Oran's righteous deeds." Delim surrendered, and then shouted, asking his people to bring back the bodies of their dead companions, and the remaining Viking bodies were gathered and cremated on the spot.
It was only half an hour's journey back to the wooden castle. Delim walked very slowly, with a heavy heart. He was still in high spirits just now, but now he didn't know what fate he would have.
His men and the men sent by Earl to help were separated by Oran, and all the weapons in their hands were handed over to the soldiers of the White Eagle Leader.
When the wooden castle was in front of him, Delim stopped, looked at Oran beside him, and asked, "Everyone wants to go in?"
He didn't want to hand over the wooden castle, but Kunsang's two men were so close that they could pull out the sword and pass it through his waist with just a wave of his hand.
Just now Oran approached, but he only absorbed Delim's sentry team outside the wooden castle. He was politely refused to go in, and heard that Delim was chasing the Vikings, so he took the people to the wooden castle quickly. Didn't open the door.
But now that Delim is under his control, he naturally wants to enter the city.
"No matter what you think, you will understand everything when you see the guest I brought. Now, open the wooden door, let my people in, and then raise the white eagle flag into the sky..."
For safety reasons, Olan finally entered after Kunsang and a group of his men went in to control everyone.
Kunsang ordered the captured Vikings to be gathered in the square, preparing for everyone to witness the "rat torture". Then he followed Oran and brought Delim back to the lord's room.
Three people entered, and then Olan recruited another person.
From the outside, he looks like a military priest with a slender figure.
When he took off his mask, Delim almost jumped out of his chair. @*~~
"How could it be you, Adisha!"
"Your expression is like a mouse seeing a hunting cat. Am I so scary? Delim."
"It is rumored that you went to King Ella's court, why do you appear here again?"
"I came with secret orders from the king."
Adisha took out Oran's forged letter and gave it to Delim.
The latter looked at it again and again, and it was difficult to tell whether it was true or false, but his intuition told him that it was false, and the king would not do such a thing without any reason.
"You don't believe it?" When Adisha moved a chair and was about to sit down, Kunsang, who was standing next to Olan, suddenly shouted to stop!
"You cannot sit down without Your Excellency's order."
"What did you say!" Adisha turned pale and looked at Oran.
Seeing this, Delim immediately stood up, but Kunsang shouted to stop, "Your Excellency didn't ask you to stand, sit down!"
Delim remembered that Kunsang had stuffed a live crow into a person's throat just now, causing the person to choke to death, and he did not dare to say anything.
"Kunsang is just joking with you." Oran raised the corners of his mouth and asked both of them to sit down.
But the two of them understood that Olan's acquiescence was the reason why Kunsang dared to do this.
The two of them saluted Oran again before they dared to sit down.
Oran was very satisfied. His subordinates should know the superiority and inferiority and always keep it in mind.
It’s up to you to decide who stands and who sits!
Adisha and this knight are both nobles who can be "sacrificed" at any time. All I have to do is make them "fear", and there is no need to "respect" them.
Originally, Olan wanted Adisha to find an opportunity to enter the castle and convince Delim.
But now that the castle is in his own hands, he chooses to show his cards directly.
"Delim, who is your master?"
"Sir Earl."
"What kind of master is he? He doesn't care about the Vikings causing chaos in the territory. He just knows that he can't hide. You should find someone new."
Master, you are lucky, this master is right in front of you. "
"Is it you or (Adisha)?"
"Very good, you guessed it right away." Oran looked at Adisha.
"Haizhen is no longer hers, Your Excellency."
"So I brought her back to regain her homeland and her subordinates."
"You want my support?"
"This is everyone's hope. The king, I, and the people and knights who originally belonged to Adisha are all looking forward to her return."
"There will be a lot of trouble, sir."
"To the south, "Niu Neck Shi Meng" is leading an attack on the border. In a few days, they will hit Haizhen. His methods are vicious. Let me tell you, he can kill even "babies". Only I can save you."
To the north, "Golden Tooth" has joined forces with so many tribes and invaded almost half of Yewei County's territory. If I don't come today, will other God Lords take action?
Tell me, what could be the trouble?
Who dares to trouble Ben Bo?
Later, you just need to publicly support Adisha and tell everyone what despicable means Earl used to annex Adisha's territory and kill her relatives. "
Now is the time to fight against the Vikings. If Oran invades, the trouble will increase a lot.
Therefore, he planned to first support Adisha, a local lord, and control her behind the scenes. After completely controlling Yewei County, he would then implement complete annexation.
Oran continued, "I have found many knights from villages or manors that have been attacked. When the time comes, they will come forward to accuse Earl of his crimes. Soon, the people and priests will turn their backs on Earl.
If you are as wise as them, your original territory will not change in any way. "
Having said that, Olan stood up, half-smiling but not smiling, and glanced at the two of them, "Since we are old friends, you can talk more, and remember to come and watch the rat torture later."
After Olan followed Kunsang and left, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Delim glanced at Adisha, "You have become more beautiful, but your status seems to be unimportant in the heart of the Lord of the White Eagle. Why does he support your reset?"
"I am your lord, and a loyal knight questions his master?"
Delim paused for a moment and changed his question, "What does he (Olan) want to do?"
"This is none of your business. You just need to stand by my side and become a part of our plan. When the time is right, we can get a lot."
"What if I don't want to?"
"Then you will see his methods. Believe me, he can even be more cruel than the Vikings to his fellow believers. The Kunsang next to him is as cruel as the devil!"
The territory remained unchanged and returned to Adisha, which did not cause much loss to Delim.
Coupled with the previous relationship between the two... Delim finally nodded in agreement.
Seeing Delim relent, Adisha stood up immediately, and the former immediately asked, "Long time no see, maybe we can talk more?"
"That time was just a transaction, Delim. You should forget about the past that you shouldn't think about, otherwise, the flames will engulf you!"
When Delim walked out of the door, he instantly understood what Adisha meant.
Two soldiers came forward, both of them were Olan's men. They opened their mouths and said, "From now on, I will serve you, sir."
He was under house arrest, and that wasn't all.
When he agreed, Olan immediately prepared a speech for him. Later, he would expose Earl's evil deeds in front of everyone and slander his master.
He is now a puppet controlled by Oran.
Within two hours, Oran collected all the weapons in the wooden castle and gathered together all the veterans with some status or rich combat experience, a total of eighteen people.
Let them swear allegiance to Adisha in advance.
Delim spoke of Earl's cowardice and stinginess with righteous indignation, and told the king's secret order, so that everyone would be loyal to Adisha - and support her in becoming the earl of Yewe County.
Adisha and Earl are related, and they also have a "title claim" from Yewe County. Coupled with Oran's soldiers suppressing the scene, the process was completed smoothly.
Then it was time to view the "trophies", and the boiler and firewood were set up in the wooden castle square. Update without error@
The Vikings who did not go up to the Hall of Valor were corked and tied with ropes.
String up and pull out the whole bundle.
The onlookers included citizens, priests, soldiers and nobles.
The priest accompanying the Oran army cleared his throat, walked to the stage, and shouted loudly, "Look, the evil retribution for the devil is coming soon. God protects us. Your Excellency Oran will do the will of the Lord and avenge us!"
Under the instigation of the atmosphere, everyone's murderous intention is high. Fighting violence and being more "ferocious" is often the answer.
The captured Vikings couldn't hear the sound, but saw the excited faces of the crowd and knew they were close to death.
They tried hard to get rid of the lump in their mouths and curse one more time before they died, but Oran had no intention of giving them a chance.
After Kunsang sealed the first man in the barrel, he also blindfolded his eyes, completely blocking his sight, hearing, and sound.
When the cloth in the man's mouth turned red and blood dripped out.
Kunsang asked someone to come forward, cut off the head, and throw it aside!
The heads of the Vikings who had just been killed on the battlefield were all beheaded, and their bodies were simply burned.
Hundreds of heads emitted a foul stench, and finally stacked up into a hill-like "Jingguan".
Under the instigation of the priests, the evil in people's hearts gradually increased.
This is not revenge, but an act of justice, a divine counterattack of God's blessing.
"Kill all the old Vikings!"
The voices rose and fell, this was right, Olan was very satisfied.
The Vikings were pulled up one by one, and after falling down, their bodies were gutted and gutted by the crazy rats.
By the time the last two Vikings were left, they were frightened to the point of confusion. @*~~
"What are you afraid of? They are all going to Valhalla."
Kunsang directed the last two people to be thrown into the barrel.
But Olan saw that it was almost done. He wanted to let these two people go back and let them publicize it. All of this was "Earl's" method.
After all, there must always be a "scapegoat" to bear the responsibility for such brutal acts.
He shouted to stop, called Kunsang over, and after a few words of explanation, the punishment was suspended.
Then let everyone disperse.
When Kunsang, a few soldiers, and the two Vikings were left in the square, Kunsang asked someone to fetch the "iron needle."
The two people didn't know why they were let go. When the cork was removed, Kunsang told the two people with that terrifying scarred face, "Master Earl has received an order from His Majesty Ella, and you will be sent to him soon." Expelled from Northumbria, whoever is still alive, we will give him a ride.
Those who have died will not be able to rest in peace. Lord Earl will dig out all the Viking graves, take out the bones of your ancestors, and bury them in stinking and filthy places.
Go back and tell your leader that if you don't want to do this, bring people over and surrender immediately. "
The two Vikings nodded in agreement, and then Kunsang led the carriage to the outside of the wooden castle.
After passing through the black forest just now, we walked some distance and came to an empty road.
At this time, they were already far away from the wooden castle. Even if they stayed still, they could easily encounter the Vikings who were looking for information.
After determining that the two men would be easily discovered, Kunsang stopped the carriage and pulled the two men out of the carriage.
At this time, the two saw another empty carriage pulled by horses, which was full of "heads" stacked up.
Terrified!
"There are fifty here. Take them back to Baldo and Alger."
After Kunsang finished speaking, at the signal from his eyes, the two soldiers took out the iron needles they had just obtained, blinded one of them's eyes, and punctured the eardrum of one of them.
The two Vikings were rolling on the ground in pain.
Kunsang laughed, the sound of the Viking's agony so beautiful that he never got tired of hearing it.
He thought that one person to give direction and one person to speak and report the news was enough.
This is the price they pay for their lives.
Kunsang turned around and took the people back. The pain of the two Vikings made their throats hoarse!
In order to survive, the will that people burst out is often unimaginable. The two finally climbed into the carriage. The one who could see commanded, and the one who could hear judged whether they had hit an obstacle.
After whipping the horses wildly, the two entered an area with Viking activities after the horses rushed for a while, and then the two stopped because they no longer had the energy.
When the men of "One-eared Haman" found the two people, the one whose eyes were pierced was already dead, and the one who lost his hearing was dead.
Dying.
They dragged the horses back in anger.
When more Vikings saw this scene, they gasped.
They never expected to be treated like this.
"Earl... revenge!"
In the end, the man with his ears pierced hit his head against the wooden board of the carriage in pain, and was finally freed by his companion with a sword.
There were fifty-two heads on the carriage.
The Vikings in this camp drew their battle axes and fired at the target.
"Blood feud!"
…
After returning to the wooden castle, Kunsang told Oran everything truthfully.
He never hid anything from Oran.
"Sir, those two people can't last long. I think they should die at the hands of their companions at this time."
The more ruthless Kunsang's methods are, the more Oran can understand the cruelty he suffered in the Viking region.
"Well done."
Even though Olan didn't agree, he still managed to smile.
Kunsang is very happy, only Mr. Olan can understand him.
"I also thought of a more exciting method, Your Excellency"
"explain."
"Mix 'Blood Eagle' with 'Rat Punishment'."
"That would be so much fun."
The battle at the wooden castle, under the control of Oran, successfully caused the northern Vikings to focus their anger on Earl.
Two days later, a letter arrived in Earle's territory.
After reading this, Earl's body felt weak, as if his soul had been evacuated in an instant.
"How dare he!"
When my daughter Sally read the above letter, she was silent for a long time.
It says that Oran, in the name of "Earl", declares war on "all" Viking settlements in the north until death!
"Father, we have been deceived. I think that the courier sent earlier to investigate His Majesty the King's residence via the Oran Territory was discovered and eliminated long ago. Otherwise, there would be no news until now."
"what to do!"
"He forged letters and used the name of the king. Shi Meng is now in the south of our territory. He is in uninhabited territory. He was the one who let him in. Otherwise, why would this group of Vikings only go north, but there is no news of attacking Dale? News from Mu County?
We must make a decision immediately, father, first negotiate with the Vikings, and then drive Oran out!"
"Would the Vikings agree?"
"There are urgent matters. Let's exchange the land first. We only need to get rid of Oran and then find an opportunity to regain the territory."
While the two were talking secretly, another letter arrived, which was a handwritten letter from Oran. It said that the first battle against the Vikings had achieved brilliant results, and asked Earl to send people to send more food and equipment. "
"asshole!"
Earl threw the letter into the fire. Update without error@
"Stabilize him first. We can't give him anything. We have to prepare for the worst and strengthen the castle fortifications immediately. The bastard has been here as a guest in the past few days. The servants who have had too much contact with him can no longer believe it. They gathered together and asked If there is any difference, resolve it immediately!"
Sally had the decisiveness of a man, while Earl sighed deeply, hoping that God would protect him one more time.
Subsequently, the information sent back to the castle became increasingly less optimistic.
Oran is crazy, or in other words, he no longer takes everyone in Earl's territory into consideration.
Since Earl didn't dare to leave the city, he would help manage the area that was still invaded by the Vikings.
He had people stationed at three strategic points outside the main city of Er, and placed personnel to watch, allowing people to leave and not allow them to enter. He also sent a letter to Shi Meng, asking him to follow his planned policy.
Several times in a row, Oran always cleverly arrived with his troops before Shi Meng was about to invade the towns and villages, and along with them drove away the Vikings' victory, and took over the manor.
Together with Adisha, accept the allegiance of these manor owners.
And if someone refuses to obey, it's very simple. This must be the female agent left by the old Viking. Oran will deal with it after openly slandering him!
Two weeks after the Battle of the Black Forest, the news of Adisha's return to the territory had reached Earl's ears.
Jinya and his Viking allies regrouped their manpower.
Oran also worked with Shi Meng to control all the remaining territories of Earl.
At this time, there is only one battle left to decide who will be the new master of the county.
Right.
Lan Lai believes that the best outcome is that Earl dies, Jin Ya and others are defeated, and he can control the two counties.
They can even seize part of the land further north in Edinburgh County.
Then control "Shi Meng" to cause some trouble for the king, and quickly capture the "four northern counties" of the kingdom. @
The larger the territory, the faster it can expand.
Oran can't wait for the glorious moment when the crown will be crowned!
Oran's actions caused shock in northern England, but if viewed on a larger scale, his methods seemed a bit insignificant compared to the coalition forces of Mercia and Wessex.
On June 15, 865 AD, the coalition forces of the two countries marched towards Kent, and a massacre broke out with Bjorn's Viking army.
Two days later, Queen Zuofuan's army also responded south to help out.
Ella and her brother also stopped fighting, but Ella had no plans to go south. There is no airtight wall in the world. The almost out-of-control Vikings in the north have threatened her and the rule of other county officials in the kingdom!
And all of this revolves around Oran.
The letter not only reached his ears, but also reached the ears of his daughter, Malm.
On June 17, 865 AD, Wang Ting sent back three letters:
One is a letter that Salz secretly sent to the king while he was spying on Oran in Durham.
One is the confessional reply that King Ella received after he questioned Oran.
One is a greeting letter from a husband to his wife.
This is the second personal letter from Oran that Malm received after their farewell to Dan City.
She unfolded it carefully and looked at what was stated in the letter, with all kinds of terrifying images in her mind.
When I put down the letter, I burst into tears. .
