The demon flying in the sky, after a little thought, Katana knew who it was.
Killing kin and beasts, uniting the whole county, becoming the king's son-in-law, and competing in churches. His reputation in Northumbria is getting louder and louder.
Recently, this person also issued a raid order with the king on the five northern counties.
Although Katana has never met Olan, who has become very famous recently, but when it comes to Olan's father, Katana has the impression that he was a brave warrior lord who once competed on the battlefield.
Then Katana looked at Sally carefully and asked, "There is news from the north that the heroic knight Clayton and Lord Earl's daughter both died in the church and turned into butterflies. You are resurrected. What about Clayton?" ?”
"Dead, the flames consumed him."
Sally trembled with anger whenever she mentioned this traitor.
After she calmed down a little, she looked at Katana and said, "I want to make a deal with you."
It is impossible to admit his identity, otherwise he will be guillotined by these soldiers of God.
When Oran and the king raided the Cow Neck, they hunted down the Vikings in the territory. Some of them fled north, and the rest surrendered and were reorganized into the hands of Ponytail Gomon.
After hiding for a few days with the injured Abu, the two saw that the east side was impassable, so they turned westward. After arriving in Carlisle County, they walked through the mountains and forests to avoid being traced by border soldiers.
We also found a group of fleeing Vikings, both men and women, who finally got together to support each other.
As a leader, Abu also has military strength. Although he has not recovered from his injuries, he also serves as the temporary leader of everyone.
Abu has been to Ireland and wants to find the Viking leader there.
Sally didn't plan to come with them, but she was alone and needed protection, so she went with them for now.
The king has already colluded with Oran and has no choice but to go south.
She planned to go to Wessex.
Alfred is fair and virtuous, and it is said that all injustices in the world can be resolved in his hands.
Tell the world what happened to you and let the priests and lords help you.
This is a dream. She may fail without any ability or wealth, but she still has to try.
Several people were frightened, hiding and being hunted many times, but they were still captured by mistake.
The greatest luck among misfortunes was meeting an acquaintance named Katana.
"Deal?" Katana didn't know what the woman wanted to say, but he was interested.
Katana singled out Sally and wanted to kill the group of Vikings first.
The eight Vikings around her all changed their colors except Abu.
"You shouldn't kill them." Sally stopped.
Abu looked at Sally standing in front of him and thought of her careful care a few days ago.
It was clearly a matter of life and death, but right now he only had Sally in his eyes.
Although she is a Christian, she saved her own life...
"Sally, the Vikings are our biggest enemies. Why don't you speak for them by wearing their clothes?"
"Your Excellency, those who harm our interests are our enemies, and enemies sometimes become friends."
"Speak clearly."
Seeing Sally's eyes, Katana asked everyone around him to step back.
Then he and Sally took a few steps away, with no one behind them.
Sally said first, "We fled all the way south and entered Manchester County. We met some hunters in the mountains and heard rumors that the Irish Vikings would enter England. The king and Oran killed so many Vikings. , sooner or later they will be retaliated against, if Wessex and Mercia cannot stop the Kent Vikings.
More Vikings will smell the blood and land on the island, and it will be a big storm.
You should think for yourself to reduce unnecessary killings. One of these people is a small chief in the Danfa District of Edinburgh. He has some status and may be able to help you in the future. "
"Rumors can never be taken seriously. Since the fall of Kent, southern intelligence has changed day by day. Last month I heard that Rollo the Walker had logged in from Hastings.
For decades, the Vikings just invaded and then left. This time the outcome is still the same, they will all be driven out, but what you said makes sense, so I will let them live a few more days. "
Seeing Katana relent, Sally felt relieved.
Saving the lives of these Vikings was the reason why Sally wanted to gain more power.
It is very difficult for a woman to seek revenge.
The bottom line of her character has been lowered. If even Wessex can't help her, then she will have to set foot on Viking land and learn to be a "shield maiden" to kill Oran!
"Where are you taking us now?" Sally looked a little confused when she saw Katana in simple clothes.
"Go to your king, no, our king, and your greatest enemy, Oran."
Katana then gave the princess's letter to Sally and explained, "Do you think this is God letting you meet me and asking me to lead you to revenge?"
Catana was loyal to the former king and looked down upon the usurper Ella. However, the former king died in battle and the Mercians were approaching. For the sake of the integrity of the country, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction.
But the princess's letter gave him another hope.
"The princess wants to recommend you to be the King's Hand!" Sally put down the letter and was very surprised.
When the marriage was first proposed, Sally knew the origins and education of all the proposers.
Regardless of his family motto, "Faith is in the heart, not in the knees", but she knew that Katana only knew a hundred words and could only write short phrases and sentences.
"A stingy businessman is not necessarily richer and more successful than a generous businessman, and a counselor with a pen is not necessarily better at managing government affairs than a knight with a sword."
After Katana finished speaking, Sally was a little impressed with him.
Katana then asked Sally something about Oran.
In Sally's words, he, a county magistrate who believed in God, frowned more and more as he listened, and finally said, "Hell is empty, and the devil is in the world."
"If you can help me avenge myself and take back Yewe County, I'm willing to hand it over to you." Sally bowed deeply to Katana.
"That's not important. You should freshen up and then go on the road with me. In order to protect your safety, I will mobilize some people from within the territory."
Katana said so and calculated in her mind how to sell the sari at a good price.
He liked the look of the sari, but women were the same after a drink or after blowing out the candles.
He had four legitimate sons and four illegitimate sons.
Female lust is important to him, but not that important.
Family interests come first, followed by faith, and finally the country.
Because he was the father, then the sheriff, and finally the lord who defended the faith.
Those who get angry over women will not end well in the end.
Catana regrouped thirty men. When he entered the king's outer territory, he was intercepted by the princess's men. Then, instead of taking the kingdom's highway, they passed through the territories of other lords.
"The Great Luo of All Worlds"
When the king received the news, Princess Haian told him, "The lord from Manchester will be there on time on the day of the Assembly of Sein."
As for this matter, Oran also heard rumors about it later.
He originally wanted to wait for the county magistrate to approach the outskirts of Dan City and take someone to pick him up.
At this time, among the three southern counties.
The Sheriff of Yorkshire was inclined to support himself, but not securely.
The Sheriff of Manchester clearly supports the Princess, Insect.
"Little Fatty Frank, the illegitimate son of Aldboroughshire," was still on the road, and his letter was sent to the king to express his loyalty.
There is no need to think about this vote. It can be seen that he just wants to keep his position as county chief, and he is also an insect.
In the five northern counties, I get two votes, the king gets one vote, and the Edinburgh vote favors me.
In Carlisle County, the reckless man named "John Lekas" should also be a member of the princess, an insect among insects.
If we include the princess and other nobles' proposals, the clergy and the noble representative William are also included.
I can't even get half of the votes.
The scale of victory began to tip towards others again.
A country with so much unusable waste would be doomed sooner or later if it did not fall into the hands of the Vikings!
…
There are only two days left before the conference starts.
Except the Sheriff named "Katana" didn't show up.
Sheriffs from seven counties are here
Among them, in Yewei County, Olan allowed Earl to attend, but under the careful care of Kunsang, Sals and others, he was close to being stupid.
Sals had Earl imprisoned in a dark room, unable to see his fingers.
The extreme sense of emptiness and terror invaded Earle's spirit and body.
He has lost sight and often experiences auditory hallucinations in his ears.
What Oran needs is a "mascot" that won't live too long and won't die immediately.
Wait until the conference is over and let Earl leave peacefully.
He had already thought about the way to die, "missing a girl makes him sick".
During lunch, Olan called over the most loyal or non-rebellious people among his subordinates in the room.
In a suburb outside Dan City, he also ambushed a hundred people and was setting up a trap.
If there is an armed conflict, if you cannot fight, you can retreat early.
Kunsang, Sals, Nanding, Taitan, and Adisha, these five people arrived one after another.
Adisha arrived two days ago, bringing fifty people with her as a spectator noble and deputy governor of Yewei County.
Her sea town is located in the territory of Yewei County, so Olan naturally ordered her to be the deputy county chief.
She will take Mr. Earl to observe.
The fifty people she brought with her all followed Olan's orders and secretly strengthened Olan's troops in Dan City.
After the five people arrived, Olan asked, "I want to win!"
Then it was time for the five of them to perform. Olan was already worried, but he wanted to see how far these men could sacrifice themselves for him?
In other words, where can I give my heart?
Titan was very smart, and Olan used him to use his skills, so he could listen, but he was the most timid and did not dare to think too much about evil deeds. He suppressed his blush and said, "I can protect you with my life."
Seeing Tai Tai like this, several other people gave their standard answers.
But Kunsang's answer was different from them. It was earth-shattering and could even make people feel panic.
"Kill the king too, Your Excellency? The three southern counties' chiefs don't have many people. The five northern counties actually only care about us, the king and Carlisle County. We have fewer troops, but the difference is not obvious. The remaining I support you, the Sheriff, and other bastards, let’s take advantage of tomorrow being a ‘Sunday’ that happens once every seven days, and take action forcefully, and if we succeed, the world will be clean.”
Kunsang didn't think about what kind of chaos would happen after the murder, or how to govern the country. He only knew that your Excellency was in trouble now, so he solved the trouble first.
Sals immediately rejected this proposal.
"We just need to take action tomorrow, kill the bishop while the night is dark, and change the order of proposals to put the nominees for the King's Hand first.
If King Ella doesn't choose us, then we don't have to flatter him and carry him up according to the original script. We can make a temporary proposal and add a clause to change the royal power law to 'vassal autonomy' and eat him in another way. that power……"
Salz analyzed the advantages and disadvantages at length.
Oran suddenly wondered if he could speak so fast if the sword was cut on his throat and blood spurted out.
Can he still be so confident?
What did his subordinates do behind his back? Olan never relaxed for a moment.
After getting along with each other for a while, Oran discovered that Sars, a bastard, could always misinterpret his own words.
Let him torture Earl, and he can almost destroy Chuken!
Last time, he was asked to send people to Wessex to establish an intelligence network and find the Sheriff named 'Pander'. For a long time, none of the letters to and from the south fell into his hands. All were sent by Thrall. Si relayed it to himself.
Sals is a madman, and Kunsang is also a madman, but Sals's madness is based on interests, and he wants Olan to fulfill his hatred and destroy his faith.
When Olan's political status improves, it will also be given more and better treatment.
Over time, the cost of controlling Sars will become higher and higher.
Expecting a lunatic to become normal has the same chance as a "boar giving birth".
A madman can be killed with just one sword, at no cost...
Sals's proposal was approved by Adisha, but Nanding reminded him, "Your Excellency, maybe we can just catch the person, there is no need for this..."
"What is so? Cruel, vile, blasphemous?" Oran asked.
Nanding thought for a while, lowered his head, and acquiesced to Olan's words.
Only those who are "loyal" and "obedient" are good vassals.
Those loyal subjects who begin to have problems with their own methods will eventually become less reliable.
Olan's heart was moved by Kunsang's suggestion.
But the problem is that if we win the battle and the other local lords disobey us, the governors of the three southern counties will most likely flee back to the south and raise the flag of rebellion against us.
Unless Yorkshire and Edinburgh can fully support themselves, then you can bet.
But these two counties can still win over with political interests. Once they come to discuss treason plans with them, they may turn against them immediately.
The risks outweigh the benefits too much.
Risk needs to be reduced.
And to what extent will it be reduced?
After discussing for a long time, Olan thought of an alternative method.
He asked everyone to go out, leaving Adisha behind.
The best way to make a smart and cunning woman stupid is to make her fall in love with you.
During this period, Olan basically fulfilled his promise to this woman, and even secured the position of "Deputy Sheriff" for Adisha.
The two entered the honeymoon period.
No matter what calculations were made in the past, when two bodies are constantly communicating with each other, unless they are really flawless or have other ideas, they will show part of their sincerity, or even all of their sincerity.
The woman's previous fear of Oran was temporarily forgotten.
Adisha was immersed in the joy of her young body and Oran's sweet words.
She sincerely hopes that Oran will win this battle, and then she will climb to a higher position.
Olan then took out a female ring from his body. It was in poor condition and had some wear and tear on its appearance.
This is actually a new ring, which he had asked the blacksmith to make on purpose.
Women in this era had too few means of contacting men. Even female lords would basically fall in love with each other, write a few love letters, and then have private trysts with men.
They cannot resist the flirting tactics of later generations.
"My grandmother gave this to me." Then Olan, who was covered in sweat, put the female ring into Adisha's hand.
If a woman is attracted to you, she will lean against each other and breathe sweetly.
"My grandfather put this ring in my grandmother's hand. At first, the marriage was not blessed because my grandmother was a widow. But my grandfather spent seven years struggling to get everyone to shut up.
This ring belongs to the mistress of the Vijay family.
I know I'm sorry for Malm, but I have been deeply attracted to you and can't help myself. Give birth to my child. He will be the next Lord of the White Eagle, and he will have everything from the moment he is born. "
Oran gave the ring a false story, and Adisha was also a widow, and she was moved.
Then Oran lay like a child on Adisha's lap, successfully deceiving the woman into radiating motherly love.
"Tomorrow, use your identity as a noblewoman to see the queen and help me lure her out. Then our happy future is right in front of you!"
Adisha regarded the ring as a treasure and shed tears as she touched the ring.
In the end, Adisha was coaxed like a child by Olan and fell asleep.
Looking at her beautiful face, Olan confessed to her in his heart, "Silly woman, I lied to you."
