Ghazi died, and then his territory was allocated. The old Baron West of the Moore family was now crazy, talking nonsense every day, and was raised in the Oran territory to die.
His eldest son was killed by his second son, who in turn died at the hands of the Vikings.
Relatives with claim rights had also died at the hands of their father and son earlier.
After all the calculations, only the unborn child of Ghazi was left.
If the old baron dies and the child "disappears" due to an accident, the territory will automatically return to the lord's hands.
Ghazi has a lot of territory in his hands, and Oran has already thought about how to distribute it.
However, Ghazi was killed by the Vikings and he took it by force, which may be criticized by others.
If not necessary, the lord should cherish his reputation. It is not a good thing to keep accumulating reputation, especially this kind of behavior that embezzles the territory of his subordinates.
Oran thought about the follow-up method. He first sent a team of people to bring back the information about Baron Ghazi's heroic death.
At the same time, someone was left to take care of the baron's wife, but it was actually for surveillance. After the war was over, the actual situation would be considered, and then the widow would be judged.
On July 30, 865, information about the struggle between Jinya and Haman reached the ears of Oran and Sally.
fo
What Oran found out was that Jin Ya was seriously ill and retreated to his lair.
And Sally received a letter that she couldn't refuse, which asked Sally to hold a wedding with Haman first.
Haman's tone was undeniable, and he told Sally that he was now the most powerful Viking leader in Northumbria.
Have the ability to breach the castle at any time!
On the day he killed Baron Ghazi, Haman cut off Gold Tooth's ear and forced his subordinates with a sword. He accused Gold Tooth of his fault in this operation and also mentioned the evil deeds Gold Tooth had done to other Viking leaders in the past few times. If there is an unprovoked invasion, everything will be revealed.
One of the golden teeth was cut off, and the bones of both hands were broken by an iron axe. He could no longer hold a sword.
This is tantamount to the death sentence for him. The soul of a Viking warrior who cannot fight against the enemy on the battlefield will never be separated from Valhalla.
Haman spent a day convincing the remaining Viking leaders to join him, and stated that he could soon break through the main city of Princess Jewe and establish a new force.
Gold Tooth was cruel and stingy. After Haman entered his settlement, he confiscated and distributed all the property and land he owned and that of several important cronies.
It also abolished the unreasonable regulations set by Jinya in the past.
In less than a day, he was supported by most people.
The Vikings believed in the strong and focused on their own interests.
"Young Glock" used a trick to humiliate Jinya. He first beat him with wounds all over his body, then dragged him with a rope and forced him to kneel outside the longhouse of his former lord. He called all the young and old in the settlement over.
Let those Vikings who have been bullied by gold teeth stand up and curse.
Baldo is like a tiger whose "teeth were pulled out and its tail was cut off."
When he opened his mouth, the people were no longer afraid of the scary gold teeth like shark teeth, but laughed at him in their hearts as a clown and a bastard.
He slept with the wives and children of his subjects, robbed their property and food, and even once, in order to clear away bad luck, held human sacrifices, forcibly assigned a certain family to sacrifice, and then let his lover occupy the family's land and long house.
Jinya had one ear left, and he couldn't hear clearly the roaring sounds around him.
If he is on the battlefield with real swords and guns, he will have the courage to fight against the enemy until he dies in battle without begging for mercy.
But Haman went too far, and it only stimulated his will to survive.
While confessing to the god Odin, he begged for mercy, hoping that everyone would sentence him to "exile" because he was once the leader.
Viking laws have their own traditions and sacredness, and everyone from the king to the slaves must abide by them.
In the cold "Scandinavia" peninsula, after hundreds of years of development, various laws have been passed down.
Even on the island of England, the Vikings who broke away from their native life basically followed these rules.
"Those who are expelled from the settlement cannot cultivate the land and refuse all kinds of friendly help. They can only live in the forest or mountains. During the day, when the shadows of other people appear, it is when you hide. You will always avoid your companions. Being allowed to bathe in the sun, as a leader, are you sure?" Glock asked knowingly.
"I'm sure...let me go...cough." When Jinya spoke, his chest hurt unbearably. Glock's previous beating had broken seven or eight of his two rows of shark teeth.
Glock looked at Haman. The former had a handsome young face, but he was as cruel as any other Viking demon.
He gestured and slashed his neck diagonally - a beheading gesture.
To be kind to the enemy is to put your life in the hands of the opponent. After Glock left Shi Meng, he decided that he would not show mercy to his own people in the future.
Haman thought for a while...
He is a poet, and poets have a problem. Sometimes when they want to express something, they always respond with specious or unnecessary words to make people guess.
"Baldo!" Haman walked to the golden tooth who was kneeling down to repent. His eyes were swollen and bleeding, and he could hardly open his eyes. He said condescendingly, "Odin is the god above. He is merciful, great, just, wise, and incompetent. Know nothing, do everything.
You were once an outstanding warrior, someone who could go to the Hall of Valor and serve the god Odin.
I would like to give you a chance, but you have broken too many laws and need to pay off other people's accusations before you can be deported. "
"You who steal other people's property will be stoned."
"You betray everyone. Half an hour later, you will be dragged to pieces by wild horses or bulls."
"You plotted to kill others under the guise of offering sacrifices. This is a crime of murder. The family members of that household will fight you."
"If you can bear these three conditions, you can leave."
Regardless of any of these three things, Jin Ya cannot bear it according to his current physical condition.
After saying this, Haman asked someone to untie the gold tooth and announced that the trial would begin with the third tooth.
He stepped aside and watched the fight with interest. His men circled a fighting field for Jin Ya and the family members of the person who wanted to fight.
"Baldo, if you are unwell, you can choose to quit according to the usual practice." Glock smiled at the side.
According to the usual practice, those who choose to withdraw indicate that they admit their guilt, which results in the same outcome.
A half-year-old child walked out of the family members of the family members. He ran back to the longhouse, dug desperately, and dug out half an iron sword buried under the floor. Then he put on an armband and rushed back.
"I want to avenge my father and uncle!" The young man raised his armband high.
Jinya slowly looked at the child's face clearly, and felt angry that he had given this armband to the boy himself.
cried Gold Tooth, "I want arms and a buckler."
This was allowed, and Glock threw his sword to the boy.
After the two of them secured their equipment, the young man took the lead in attacking.
The courage to avenge one's relatives is worthy of praise. In addition, Gold Teeth showed his ugly appearance. Everyone shouted, "Kill him (Bardo)!"
bump!
The two fought several times, losing each other's swords, and then wrestling with their bucklers.
The young man was inexperienced and saw that he could not win with the shield attack method, so he wanted to pick up the sword and turned his back to the gold tooth. He picked up the sword, but before he could turn around, he suffered severe pain in his back!
Jinya hit the young man's spine with his buckler, and then like a madman, he dropped the buckler hard on the corner.
The boy's body was filled with fear, and he didn't even have time to cry out for mercy.
In the end, Jinya won the battle. Glock announced the result and said, "This heroic young man fought for his loved ones, and his soul will rest in peace."
"Continue with the stoning." Kroc's expression was unclear whether he was happy or angry.
Then we came to a dirt road about thirty meters away.
The right side of Jinya was full of people, each holding various kinds of garbage or stones in their hands.
When Glock announced the start, Jinya shrank tightly, protecting his head while walking quickly.
And hard rocks and clods of earth flew from the side, hitting various joints in his body.
Almost halfway, he was knocked to the ground.
Even when he landed, there were still angry onlookers who smashed his fingers with stones.
He could only protect the back of his head and squirm on the ground like a bug.
People stood in a row, and those who were overtaken by Jinya could no longer be thrown away. In this way, Jinya climbed to the end.
After crawling through this level, I can no longer lift my left arm. Only my right arm still has some feeling. After treatment in the future, I can hold bowls and forks.
In the second level, Jinya passed it again.
So, the "cutting torture" with almost no chance of survival came.
Glock asked someone to bring over Jin Ya's former favorite horse, caress the horse's body, and then tie the horse to Jin Ya with a rope.
And walked to Jinya and whispered, "Have you ever thought you would die like this?"
"Why?" Jinya didn't understand why Glock hated himself so much.
"You forgot that when the old leader died, Shi Meng took his place. You sent people to humiliate us, and you also humiliated the old leader's daughter, my dear cousin Fulia."
After Glock finished speaking, he stood up, walked to the horse, patted it, and said, "Go to hell!"
Two horses pulled the gold teeth left and right.
But the rope tied to one of the horses suddenly broke, leaving the other horse to drag along.
The horse charged fiercely for a while, shocking Jin Ya into unconsciousness.
When the horse stopped, Glock and Haman rushed over, looked at the lifeless gold tooth, and shouted, "Bury him."
But the men had just started to move, and Jin Ya's right arm, which still had some feeling, struggled to hold the leg of one of them and kept shaking.
"Not even death?" Glock was about to kill him.
On the side of Abu, the black crow on his shoulder screamed, and he said, "Since this is the instruction of God Odin, throw him into the forest and let him die on his own. If you do it, it will be against God's will." .”
As long as the god Odin is involved, they, the warlike Vikings, do not dare to take it lightly.
Glock hesitated for a moment, the gold teeth were as good as dead, maybe they were the reflection of light before death...
Finally, the gold tooth was thrown into the forest and punished with expulsion.
After completing all this, Haman also sent people to talk to Alger and Inge in the east, hoping to use their reputation in Denmark to improve his own reputation.
Alger had no roots in Northumbria. This time he relied on Gold Tooth to gather some manpower. Since Gold Tooth was expelled and left to die, he thought there was no need to fall out with Haman.
And Haman's vicious trick made Alger unwilling to go back to join him. He stayed alone on the east coast, waiting for a response from the people sent to Kent.
August 1, 865 AD.
Under the protection of Clayton, Sally took a few people to the north, a small town that had been invaded by Gold Teeth and its citizens had dispersed.
Here, Sally met Haman and his most trusted soldiers.
Sally brought five people, and Haman brought ten people. There were not many people, but this area was full of Vikings, so he was not afraid of surprises at all.
Haman was dressed in ordinary clothes, with four rings on his fingers and a very expensive crown on his head.
A complete image of an upstart lord.
He found this from Jin Ya's treasury. He heard that it was once the crown of an Irish king. Later, due to turmoil, it fell into Jin Ya's hands.
"I have specially decorated this church for today."
Haman forcibly led Sally in, followed by Clayton. The boy's eyes were about to burst into flames. Is there anything more incompetent and humiliating than having to act as a bodyguard when the one you love enters a sacred venue with a foreign enemy? ?
"Your gods, your monks, even the Bible, holy water, I'm ready."
Haman asked a monk he captured to marry Sally and him.
"You believe in God, then use God's etiquette first, and then wait for me to enter the castle and become an earl, and then hold a grand wedding ceremony." Haman's laughter echoed in the wooden chapel.
Sally endured her nausea, and when the priest said something, she would reply against her will.
The vows were made, the rings were exchanged, and Haman said, "Now you are my wife, I will be the king, and you will be the princess."
"Before killing Oran, this was just a dream. The Lord of White Eagle still controlled half of Yewei County's territory, and Oxneck Shimon was also helping him. He is no less ferocious than Baldo."
"Don't worry, Glock will replace Shimon soon." Haman imitated the nobles of God, kissed Sally's palm, and then pulled out a dagger.
"What are you doing!" Clayton stood up violently, and he faced Haman's men with swords.
Haman ignored him. He drew the dagger across his wrist and filled it with the silver cup that had been filled with holy water. The blood was mixed with the holy water.
"Drink it, and my blood will flow in your body from now on. Your fate has been decided. You will go to Valhalla with me in the future!"
Sally took it tremblingly.
"No!" Clayton shook his head.
But the father, the younger brother, the murdered subordinates, the people who were driven out of their homes, the Vikings, Oran, the king...
Sally thought of these people, so she drank this glass of blood wine...
When she returned to the castle, she cut her arm open and bled it herself.
She couldn't bear the filth flowing inside her.
He even induced vomiting again and again until there was nothing left in his stomach.
When she got up, she looked at the sluggish face in the mirror, lifeless.
Then he hit the mirror with his hand, and all his fingers were red.
Weddings are filthy;
Holy water is black and red,
Oaths are disgusting,
I will reverse my destiny!
…
…
August 2, Haizhen.
The Knights Hospitallers, from various towns in Durham, and Adessa's soldiers from Yewe County, a total of nearly 900 people, lined up and prepared.
Oran divided them into four groups, each with two hundred men.
One for Kunsang, one for Nandin, one for Adisha and Delim, and one for Tuman and Armand.
There are still a hundred people left to lead by themselves.
Of the nine hundred people, one third had weapons and equipment.
Food can last for six days.
This is what Oran uses to destroy Haman.
According to the scouts he sent out, as well as the information given to him by Clayton and Sally, he already had a rough idea of Haman's strength, about 700 to 2,000.
Seven hundred are elite soldiers like my nine hundred who can be drawn out to fight at any time.
If there was a real confrontation with swords and guns on the battlefield, Olan felt that the winning rate was not very high.
His longbow hasn't taken shape yet, and the knights he wants to use to charge into the formation still lack more than 80% of the equipment.
If they fight a protracted war, these Viking settlements will use poison, wine, and the unpleasant singing of "Odin is down to earth" to make more old and weak Vikings fight.
Therefore, like the last time, Sally's intelligence letter informed the enemy of the latest developments, Oran did not intend to take it and make a surprise attack.
And wanted to catch Sally off guard.
He found Sals and arranged the terrain map with him.
The two talked in secret while Kunsang stood guard outside the house.
After reading the letter, Sals said, "This woman is really good at causing the Vikings to kill each other and make the humble Haman the leader. Therefore, women are a disaster, and the more beautiful the woman, the more so."
Sals reminded Oran not to make the same mistake as Gold Tooth and end up missing.
