Ten people were baptized at each time. Konni and the priests raised their voices and were immersed in the joy of adding more believers to God.
Three hours later, more than 300 Vikings present, soaked to the skin, took refuge in the embrace of God.
Shi Meng's men shouted impatiently, "Where is the king's document? Where is the document that allows us to live here legally forever and not have to pay taxes? Take it out quickly."
This is what the Vikings wanted. After hearing this, Cyrus called his men and opened a square box, which contained land documents, a letter of guarantee from the king, and a certificate of baptism from the church.
Cyrus cleared his throat, raised his right hand high, and spoke to the Vikings on behalf of King Ella, "The twelfth king of Northumbria, the Servant of God 'Ella Norn', now controls the north of the kingdom, from... ...To... grant the new subjects, from now on, establish 'Ngu County', and canonize 'Shimon Piguet' as the Earl of Ngu."
The extremely simple ceremony was not held in the church. Gu Lie said a few words casually and handed the things over.
But Shi Meng didn't think too much. After getting this thing, he shouted loudly, "From now on, you can pass these lands to your children and your grandchildren!"
Ngu County divided up a lot of land in Durham County in Oran and Yewe County.
Shi Meng was afraid of a long night and many dreams, so he immediately looked at Oran, "Your Excellency Oran, I will send someone to pick it up tomorrow. Your border burden will not be so heavy in the future."
"A very good proposal. The conflict is over. My subjects can concentrate on production and breeding. I can finally add more dishes to my dining table."
Oran responded briskly, then stepped forward to shake hands with Shi Meng, and then said to his wife "Flia" beside him, "Madam, the child will be born soon. By then, I will send you a 'big gift' to Ngu County. "
"Thank you for your kindness. This child is lucky to receive His Excellency Aolan's blessing."
The woman touched her belly with a happy expression on her face.
She has nothing to pursue anymore. The days of taking care of her children, serving as Prime Minister to her husband, and being a Viking shieldmaiden are far away from her memory.
Olan calculated the time and realized that it would be late until evening, so he suggested that everyone have fun and engage in a "sword showdown".
Gulie rejected Olan's proposal, but Shi Meng's "Mi Qiao" pulled out his double ax and shouted, "Then let's have a fight!"
The Vikings loved fighting, and if some took the lead, others naturally wanted to be in the limelight and accept it vocally.
Oran immediately replied, "I will send one person to guard him. Whoever knocks him down will be rewarded by me."
Shi Meng readily agreed. This place was his own territory and there would be no danger. Moreover, he had long wanted to fight with Oran's men.
As a Viking leader bordering Oran, my ears have grown calloused recently when I heard the names of people like Blood Cross and Sword Demon.
However, as a leader, he does not do it himself, but leaves it to his soldiers.
Two of the three main messengers agreed, and Cyrus was forced to stay.
At the same time, a group of hundreds of White Eagle soldiers were rushing to ambush Gulie on a road they would pass before returning to the royal court.
At first, Olan and Sals planned four steps.
In the first step, Shi Meng accepted the advice of his wife and others and agreed to convert.
In the second step, Shi Meng was tricked into leaving the territory and was baptized, with Oran witnessing it.
In the third step, the king sent priests to eradicate the priests with the help of the Vikings (actually Olan was a hindrance) and took back their private lands, which gave him a better name to attack Shimon.
But something went wrong at this step. Shi Meng was cautious and refused to leave the territory. In the first two steps of the plan, he acquired a lot more land to expand the scope of the settlement's activities.
Now there are many places on the border where it is difficult for Oran to carry out sneak attacks.
So Sal sent a message to the king again, saying that he would be killed like a priest. Then Olan and Shimeng took advantage of the king's thinking that there was peace and secretly sent troops to attack the royal court, asking the king to gather the main force near the royal capital in advance.
As a result, there will be a blank space in the direction of the retreating army of Gu Lie. There is not much scouting activity by the king. This is the place where the Oran people first ambush.
I wonder if the team has arrived?
In addition, the later it gets, the slower the troop activities will be, so Olan planned to delay until the afternoon near dusk.
"Pop!"
Oran clapped his hands, and a treasure box filled with gold and silver jewelry was taken out, and then he was naked in front of everyone.
"Whoever can defeat him will take away this box of treasures."
Golden possessions make people excited.
Oran pointed at "Marcus" who was wearing a mask and asked him to come on.
Before Marcus dies, Oran will let him swing his sword for him forever.
Compared with Shi Mengfang's excitement, Gu Lie mistakenly thought that Kunsang and Olan were going to take action in advance, so he was very nervous and ordered a few trusted knights to be ready to draw their swords at any time.
After Marcus paid courtesy to Oran, he chose an open space by the stream and stood still, waiting for the challenge.
The first person to appear was a middle-aged Viking. Seeing that Marcus was of medium height, he shouted at Marcus to crush him with a heavy sword in one hand and a round shield in the other.
Marcus' injury is nearly 80% healed.
The life-and-death battle with Alger also enhances the sense of combat during the life-and-death battle.
His intuition for sniffing out the opponent's strength was more accurate than before.
“Fuck him!
The Viking companions all hit their shields with their weapons, adding to the atmosphere.
A morale-boosting Viking song was sung, and they all felt like bards for the moment.
Marcus lowered his body, like a prey preparing to charge at full speed.
He is used to playing one-to-many, and has his own theory on whether he can escape unharmed.
And once it changes to one-on-one, there is no need to consider a sneak attack.
Then just scan all the way over!
"I want something!" The Viking swordsman took action together with Marcus.
The Dictionary of Brave Warriors did not retreat.
Only two seconds passed from the time the shot was made to the moment of contact, the Viking was locked by Marcus' long sword, which was too fast!
The Viking saw with his naked eyes, but could not turn his body.
In his eyes, Marcus was attacking to the left, so he tried his best to twist his body, but he could only block the air because Marcus turned his steps ahead of time and moved to the right to launch the attack.
The Viking forced his body to turn around again, but it turned out that this was a false move. Marcus had not changed from the beginning and wanted to hit the left side.
He relies on his speed to use a very deceptive special "deception"
Marcus always likes to use this technique when fighting new enemies, and it never works.
Because he is calm enough and fast enough, he can even change directions more times and join other attacks without drawing a sword.
No matter how weak the mouse is, it will be beaten as a lion.
Marcus slashed with a real sword, and slashed down from the Viking's shoulder with one sword.
But in the end, he still kept his hand and stopped exerting force after cutting into the flesh.
"sharp!"
Shi Meng was impressed by this masked knight and was eager to try it.
However, his wife grabbed his arm and stopped him from fighting.
In chaotic times, the strong are respected, regardless of their reputation or good moral character.
Afterwards, the second candidate had a difficult delivery. Gulie's side just wanted to leave quickly and had no plans to send anyone. The Vikings at Shi Meng's side looked at each other and were unsure.
"If you win, wealth will be at your fingertips. Warriors, let me see your abilities." Olan added jealously.
So the second challenger came on the scene.
He was extremely young, perhaps about the same age as Oran.
He is one of the nine most important minor leaders under Shi Meng.
"Odin protects me!"
After the young soldier finished speaking, the whole place was silent, so he pretended not to know, and then awkwardly said, "God asked me to kill him!"
Bishop Conney even coughed at the nondescript prayer.
This warrior had some skills, and he also used the "deception" in English swordsmanship. He raised his sword high and wanted Marcus to swing it.
"This sword has defeated twenty-four people, you will add to it."
The young warrior shouted God damn it, but in his mind he was still the supreme god Odin.
The deception has high requirements on the swordsman's spirit and strength. When wielding the sword to fight, one must pay attention to the opponent's movements, change one's own posture, and then lure the opponent to attack.
Sometimes the opponent's sword is too fierce, and if you don't calm down, you will be led by the nose.
Don’t know how many games to play?
When the opponent is set to be as brave as a lion, sometimes you have to use your brain to fight.
Marcus held the sword in one hand and placed his hand on the scabbard.
"How old are you?" Marcus asked.
"Eighteen years old." As soon as the young warrior finished speaking, Marcus came straight to attack.
But the deception had no chance to develop, so Marcus used the scabbard as a throwing ax and threw it directly in front of the experienced warrior.
It was impossible to catch it with his face, and he didn't expect his opponent to do so.
Withdrawing his deception, the young warrior sidestepped, but Marcus did not stop, closing the distance to a point where he could defeat his opponent with one sword stroke.
At this moment, the young warrior saw the real ferocious beast. His breathing stagnated and he lost his mind because of flashes of light falling on his body.
Marcus struck accurately, hitting the same spot repeatedly with the back of his sword.
There was no blood on the sword, but the young warrior's sternum was cracked and he lost his ability to fight.
This is experience. Too many people have been killed by Marcus's method of attacking in one direction.
Marcus can take action based on various conditions on the scene and the opponent's reaction.
Then he stopped, took back the scabbard beside the young man, and replied, "When I was sixteen, I killed more people than I can remember."
In the end, Marcus fought five people, and no one beat him, but he lost a lot of strength. Oran asked Kunsang to go up again and fight twice until time could no longer be delayed.
before leaving,
Shi Meng symbolically asked everyone if they would stay as guests, but was thanked by Wan.
Oran and Gulie's team went back in the original direction.
Among Cyrus's one hundred men, sixty were the king's and his own private soldiers, and the other forty were private soldiers recruited by the priests from their own private fields.
Gu Lie found a reason, quickly separated from them, and returned at full speed.
Oran's delay and the already darkening sky made him want to quickly return to the nearest king's troops.
When Olan walked from the other side of the Vikings' sphere of influence and entered neutral territory, he stopped on his horse.
Then he directed two hundred people to circle the northwest direction and chase the priests and the ancients.
Oran also had to seize the time to catch up with the Kingdom troops before the light was still visible.
Around 5:30 in the afternoon, the team of priests who were walking leisurely on the road saw that it was getting late, so they slowed down and thought of spending time in the countryside and going back to report to the king in the early morning.
They could no longer see Gu Lie's team, and even discussed why Gu Lie looked so weird today.
As soon as we chose an open space and before we even had time to warm our butts, a group of Vikings came over to kill us!
It's Glock and those Vikings Oran assigned him.
They turned into butchers, killing everyone they saw without any explanation.
"What is this for?!"
"You have been baptized and are going to hell!"
A priest clutched the cross tightly, only to fall to the ground with the cross.
Glock said, "Chief Shi Meng doesn't believe your lies at all. Let me kill you all."
After finishing speaking, more and more people fell down. The priests and other private soldiers were not very effective in fighting, so they could only escape in batches.
"Your Excellency Oran's soldiers, we are saved."
Two priests and six soldiers ran towards the direction where Marcus and Tuman appeared.
Oran watched from behind.
Just now Marcus showed off his majesty, Tuman also wanted to show off, picked up the flying ax from his waist, and threw it with all his strength.
It flew into a person's face, smashing his head and causing his brains to flow out.
The team of priests brought by Oran to kill were mostly knights and soldiers of the Knights Hospitallers.
Ragnar undermined England's Catholic faith, and for decades people's cries for help went unanswered.
It causes believers to believe more and unbelievers to be shaken.
Oran asked Ulf to make up the doctrine of the territory and tell these people that he was the incarnation of God.
Some of the soldiers of the Knights Hospitaller are young and strong criminals or bandits who have committed crimes for food and clothing.
Their beliefs are far weaker than those of ordinary people, and they are easier to convince.
They listened to Oran's words and slaughtered the Vikings and attacked those who believed in them. They were rewarded every time they ended the battle.
The feeling of guilt is getting less and less, and today, I even dare to slash at the priest with a knife!
Tuman survived ten years of dark hell and had no pressure to kill anyone.
"The king colluded with the Vikings to establish Ngu County and took away the land we fought back with our lives. We must resist. These greedy priests who took advantage of the Vikings deserve to go to hell and die."
After Tuman finished speaking, the soldiers behind him rushed forward angrily, hacking the priest to death with random swords, and then looked around for any fish that had slipped through the net.
You can get rewards by killing the people you want to kill, and since they are the righteous party, you should kill a few more.
The monks accompanying the army would even pray for themselves to wash away their sins. What’s so scary about that?
Of the forty members of the priesthood, only Cyrus was left alive, and none of the remaining thirty-nine were spared.
Kong Ni was so sad that he cried intermittently.
Marcus' heart trembled a little when he saw so many priests dying instantly.
His respect for faith is different from that of Oran Fang.
"Marcus, take people to help Kunsang. They are chasing Guile's army."
Oran didn't let him stop. Marcus, who was born on the border, was best at chasing down enemies on the road.
Sighing in his heart, Marcus led the people and disappeared over the horizon.
Glock's men also retreated secretly, and Oran had people collect the bodies and directly dig shallow pits and bury them without setting fire to them.
And walked up to Konni, "Bishop Konni, why are you crying? Didn't Uncle Ben hear your plea and come to save you?"
"You...you bastard, do you know what you did?" Kong Ni first stepped forward and grabbed Olan's collar, but was immediately restrained by others.
"Without the king's orders, how dare I do such an evil thing that kills people and destroys trust?"
"king?!"
"The king thinks that you don't pay taxes and you love to criticize current affairs. You are as disgusting as flies in a cesspool. Let me purify you so that you can take back the land."
Konni couldn't believe it, and Olan said again, "But don't worry, although justice will be late, it will never be absent. Ben Bo has decided to help you."
"Olan! You have killed so many people and yet you say you are the righteous party?"
“For those who have lost their way, repentance of their sins will never become obsolete. This is the Catholic doctrine handed down from Roman times.”
"Nonsense, you have violated what the scripture says and blasphemed God. You will..."
"Bishop Konni, I have read as much as you have read the seven books of the Holy Scriptures and other scriptures compiled by saints throughout the ages.
The scripture says to help the poor, but have you done it?
The Holy Scriptures say that you should pay generously. Why do you have more and more land and still don’t pay taxes?
The holy scriptures say you must support yourself, so why do you let countless peasants who don’t have enough to eat work for you?”
Kong Ni from Orland was speechless.
Of course, part of the reason was that the soldiers beside Olan who were pointing swords at his head confused Kong Ni's head.
"What do you want to do?" Kong Ni saw that Olan was not afraid and asked the follow-up question.
"King Ella is an idiot. He can't govern more than one county, but he rewards people randomly. An outside tomb robber named 'Alex' can actually become a real person with a dead hand bone that he doesn't know where he came from." Lead the knight.
What's the use of going from Cyrus, the wife's brother, to William, the son-in-law?
Have you ever taken the initiative to fight the Vikings?
If you open your eyes and look at Yewei County, now the gold tooth is gone and Haman is dead. From now on, this land will return to the golden age of a hundred years ago.
Even if Ragnar and Yinvar come, I will not abandon you.
The king’s court and ministers are all trash, and Ella is surrounded by a bunch of insects. How can such a king govern the country well!”
When he got excited, Olan waved his hand and asked people to let go of Kong Ni.
He even stepped forward and patted his shoulder, "As a vassal, I obey the king's orders. This is 'loyalty'. As a believer, I dare to refuse the king and defend your life. This is called 'loyalty'."
'Loyalty, defense of faith, resistance to foreign aggression', looking at Northumbria, who can compare with Bember?
Last time, I wanted to convene the Thain Conference, but Ella refused. This time, I want you to help me, using your identity as the second bishop of the kingdom, to force it to convene. "
"What to discuss?"
Oran did not respond directly, but just replied, "You will know it on the day of the meeting. Now, my righteous master is helping you take revenge. As expected, Gu Lie will be my guest."
"If you want to be a martyr and saint, I will make it possible for you. If you want to be a hero bishop, you only need one sentence."
"What words?"
"All glory to Ben Bo."
Only at the moment of death will it be revealed whether a person's leg bones are strong or not.
Konni looked at his companions who were betrayed by the king and covered with dead bodies on the ground, and finally bent his face towards Oran.
"If you become the king, I will become the archbishop of the kingdom!"
Very good, as long as a person has pursuit and desire, he can control and believe in it.
When Olan saw that the bodies had been buried, he immediately headed in the direction of Kunsang and Marcus.
