Under the attention of the nobles of the Three Kingdoms, "Joan of Arc" was born.
Fortunately, the Queen of East Anglia did not come, otherwise she would not have allowed this to happen based on her devotion to the Lord.
Oran recommended the Saint to come out and send a signal to the Kingdom Sheriff under his command. Who is in charge now?
With the Saints, then it’s time to get a “small win” against the Vikings.
Then brag about the victory in this battle and roll out the atonement scroll.
If everything goes as you want, the picture is too beautiful to imagine.
After the service, Joan of Arc was taken down to rest. The outside of her house was filled with people. The people who heard about the miracle of fire wanted to come and see it, but they were blocked from the door.
At around six o'clock at night, torches were lit in the valley around the king's tomb.
The soldier guarding Joan of Arc saw Olan coming, and after performing a standard military salute, he let him in.
As soon as Oran entered, he saw Joan leaning against the wall with a heavy expression.
"What's wrong with you?" Olan pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Your Excellency, I am not a saint...I will go to hell if you do this!"
"Relax, you don't have to stand up. You will also be a noble from now on. I have already negotiated with the two majesties to grant you the title of noble, both as 'Baron'. If you can defeat the Vikings, then I will promote you."
"How can I defeat the Vikings? I don't have any miracles?"
"Didn't you just say that the flames couldn't touch you at all? It was God's will."
"But that fire, that fire..."
Joan of Arc knew there was something wrong with the fire, but didn't know what to say.
"What happened to the fire? It swallowed up a rebellious knight. You are safe and sound, with no wounds on your body. You are the daughter of God, Joan of Arc."
"I……"
"Remember, no matter who asks you in the future, you are still a virgin. I will send someone to teach you the meaning of the scriptures. If you listen carefully when you meditate every day, you will always hear God's will."
After Oran finished speaking, he walked out, and then returned to his room to meet Sals.
He recently returned from Wales, where he went to contact the local bishops to fight against the Vikings.
As soon as they met, Oran gave him a warm hug and said, "My dearest and loyal partner."
It was as if the betrayal from last time had disappeared.
But Sals knew clearly that Olan was suspicious by nature, so he had to be more careful in the future.
After the two sat down, Sals spoke first, "Your Excellency, to fulfill my mission, I gave the Three Kings' Covenant you gave me to the bishops in Wales, and they all agreed to support us in the fight against Wessex."
This is a rare opportunity to bring the whole of Northern England together and finally get revenge on Wessex for its long history of repression.
After talking for a while, Oran told Sals about Joan of Arc, "From now on, you will help her become a true daughter of God."
"what do I do?"
"Let her really think that she is a saint." Oran told Sals this important task, making him feel that he still believed in him.
That night, Sals started taking action. Olan's original intention was to let Sals show his true qualities as a magic stick, but Sals's method was direct and decisive, and he focused on food.
The Viking berserkers all like to use poison mills to mix wine with wine. Adding this thing makes it easier for her to get close to the grace of God in hallucinations.
When she gets addicted, that's about it...
The next morning, Oran took Sars to meet the two kings.
At this moment, Oran has entered the center of power in England and can see the king anytime he wants.
Sals betrayed Ella and defected to Oran before, and was not popular in Ella's eyes. But now that the Vikings are the enemy, they should let go of their murderous intentions against him. What is he here to do?
Sals told Oran the big news yesterday.
"Your Majesty, we currently have a good opportunity to attack Wessex. As long as we send troops, Wales will also help us."
"Huh? Tell me." Bergred became interested.
"We attack Herefordshire!"
"Isn't that 'Pander's' territory?" Bergred asked.
"Yes, Alfred used that route to attack Wales and killed Pande's eldest son for some reason. The two sides had a grudge. Later, at the meeting of wise men, Pande had a huge conflict with Alfred and almost drew his sword to fight.
Pande was dissatisfied with the crown prince and did not support the king's cooperation with the Vikings. He took the initiative to send a message to Wales, saying that if the king or the crown prince wanted to attack him, he was willing to rebel.
The King of Mercia knew the story of this war. He had spies on several county chiefs on the Wessex border. Unexpectedly, Wales had done the same thing and had already attracted Pende.
"Pander has six hundred men in his hands, and he is in the middle of the three kingdoms of Wessex, Kent, and Wales. He is located on a strategic road. If there is a rebellion here, what do you think Wessex will do?"
When the two kings thought about it carefully, they knew how important this rebellion was.
Moreover, things like rebellion may trigger a chain effect. Not every big noble can support the king's policy. If someone comes out to oppose it, a second one may occur.
From the perspective of inheritance rights, Wessex is divided into two factions, the crown prince faction and the prince faction.
The prince faction is divided into joining forces with the Vikings and resisting the Vikings.
Last time, in order to maintain balance, Æthelred comforted Pendor and Pander respectively when the two conflicted.
The crown prince, but Pendor didn't appreciate it. He himself didn't like the Vikings. He was already inseparable from Wessex, and he was just short of a safe opportunity to switch to other kingdoms.
After thinking for a while, Burgred made up his mind and said, "Herefordshire was originally part of Mercia. It was borrowed by Wessex more than ten years ago because it was against the Welsh. It has been so long since this borrowing. Now it’s time for the items to be returned to their original owners!”
"Wise choice, Your Majesty, Pande has said that as long as we lead people to defeat the county chiefs around him, we will immediately change the flag and join the anti-Viking brigade."
"Okay, let's find a noble to lead the team."
After Burgred finished speaking, Olan added, "Let the army from East Anglia assist and send the trusted Sheriff to suppress the battle."
"Why send Donnie?" Ella asked.
"It's not Donnie, it's the Queen's men. I have just received news that the Queen's team is coming. Please forgive me for being rude. I think it is not appropriate for the Queen to rule East Anglia anymore, Your Majesty. "
Seeing Olan slandering the Queen, few of them wanted to answer the question and let him continue to slander.
"Although the Queen is brave, courage on the battlefield is not enough. When she heard that East Anglia was conquered, she immediately took her people back and attacked more with less. Not only did she not cause trouble to the Vikings, but she also took our arranged The defensive front has been affected, and it is irresponsible to ignore the fact that the three countries have formed an alliance and spread the risk to the allies."
What Oran said was a bit unreasonable. Any normal king would not be furious when he heard that his land was invaded by foreigners?
Seeing that the two kings did not speak, Olan continued, "I think Sir Downey is very suitable to take over the command of the Queen. He is a great nobleman from East Anglia. He comes from a famous family and is not sentimental. He has gathered many remnants along the way and established a Prestige." Belittling the Queen and praising Downey, Oran slowly revealed his ambition.
"If the war continues and the outcome is uncertain, our plans should be unified and our forces should be concentrated. Let the Queen regain Pendor's territory and fight against the Vikings' front. Sir Downey will come."
"What do you mean?" The penitent Amon pushed the door in at this time, and he heard a few words.
After he sat down, Olan explained again and continued to add, "Three horses and three drivers to control the direction. Isn't it a bit too much? I think three horses and two drivers are more appropriate."
"What if the coachman wants to continue to control the horses?" Bergred tried. He thought, Olan wouldn't be so ruthless and really want to get rid of the queen, right?
"Wessex betrayed us and let the Queen denounce it. We already have Joan of Arc, and the atonement scroll will be issued later. There is no need for two women wearing 'military pants' in one camp. The Queen's influence should be weakened. .
Sir Downey has expressed to me that he is willing to lead East Anglia. He is from a distant royal family and has sufficient appeal and prestige. As long as the two majesties agree, I will operate it. "
"What if the Queen doesn't agree?"
"A woman has long hair but short knowledge. We help her make the decision!"
In fact, Olan "respects" women, but he knows what everyone here wants to hear, so he can only say this against his will.
Then Oran added, "The Queen is tired and she should find a gentle and considerate man to help govern the country."
Oran's eyes glanced at Amon, Ella, and Bergred.
This sentence expressed the inner thoughts of the three people, and they laughed knowingly.
East Anglia is too weak and women are still in charge. How can this be done?
As an ally, let's help her look after her. If she can look after her on the bed, that would be even better!
Just like Wessex annexing the two small countries, Ella and Bergred were persuaded by Oran to take up the idea of the Queen.
After the negotiation was settled, Oran left the room and went to see Donnie, taking Titan with him.
Tai Tan was writing the code when he was suddenly called up. He was still a little confused. Wasn't he on duty at this time?
When they entered the room, they saw Olan and Donny there, and a girl with her head lowered and covered with a veil.
The veil is transparent and you can vaguely see your face.
She is a very ordinary girl, with a little baby fat.
After Taitan saluted everyone, he stood alone to serve Oran, but Oran pointed at him and said, "Sir Downey, this kid is very smart, can endure hardship, and can do everything he is told."
"Stand straight, let me take a look." Downey looked at Olan's hand.
"Um?"
Titan stood up, trying to make his body look as straight as a bamboo.
But his chubby appearance, trying to straighten his chest, felt weird, and the girl secretly suppressed a smile.
As Downey's voice fell, the girl took off her veil.
"This is my daughter, Lady Titan." Downey addressed Titan with his honorific title, and the latter was somewhat flattered.
But what he said next made him even more surprised.
Because Oran said, "Titan, I think you two are a good match. What do you think? I think you have the same vision as me."
At this time, Titan could clearly see the girl's face.
Very ordinary, with a healthy complexion and a few small freckles on his face.
Oran had previously spread rumors that he would arrange marriages for his subordinates.
Titan did not expect that it would be his turn so soon, and he also imagined that he would be lucky enough to meet Frank's noble daughter?
Fantasy is beautiful, reality is skinny.
This girl is not what Titan imagined
of beauty.
In fact, there are so many beauties in the world. This is the standard appearance of a noble!
As a close minister of Oran, Tai Tan has already heard what the monarch means. This girl is very good, so he should accept it well!
Last time when Nan Ding regretted his marriage, Tai Tan knew that Oran was very angry.
Because he saw Olan slashing at the wall with his sword and said Nanding's name.
The girl lowered her head, a little shy.
In fact, she was not satisfied either, but her father's authority was higher than anything else. To a certain extent, he was greater than the Lord Christ. She had never heard of the so-called free love, nor dared to think about it.
Girls prefer Olan who is personable, exudes beauty in every gesture.
But Olan is the hand of the king, a great noble, so noble.
"Sir Downey, let's just let the two of them get along."
"good."
Donnie stood up and walked out, and Oran followed him out. As they walked, the two discussed how to take away the queen's power.
Downey also wants to be the king, but he is a distant branch and is afraid that some people will be dissatisfied.
But Oran said very directly, "Sir Downey, in the mornings in Northumbria, roosters crow, and it was because of the roosters that East Anglia was invaded by the Vikings. All of this It is the Lord Christ who is warning us.”
This was very reasonable, Donnie smiled, and Olan also showed an expression of success.
The two bastards were in a happy mood and were really happy scheming against others.
But Titan rushed out and interrupted Oran's discussion with Downey about how to put the Queen under house arrest.
Oran asked Donnie to wait, approached and asked what happened?
Tai Tan grimaced, "Sir, I don't know what to say?"
"Is it so hard to coax a woman? Hold her, push her down, coax her with sweet words, or trick her with promises of the future.
Lord Downey will soon lead East Anglia. This girl is his third daughter. I have carefully selected it for you. Her two older sisters are not from the same mother as her. They are many years older than her and left home very early. Get married.
She brought up her two younger brothers, who are three and five years younger than her.
The person who will inherit the title of Lord Downey in the future will be her half-brother. This marriage will immediately improve your status. When a man is looking for a wife, he must see the good character in her heart. Looking at her face is the stupidest thing to do.
Cultivate your relationship and give you a day. If you are satisfied with each other, get married immediately. "
When Oran said this, it meant that Titan's wife was already her and could no longer change.
After saying that, Olan gave another sweet date, "I'll find some women for you. You can spend your body as much as you like, but don't let me down."
Titan could only say yes and shuffled back into the room.
The Titan and the girl looked at each other speechlessly, silently bowing their heads.
The girl remembered her father's words. This was her future husband. After adjusting her mood, she tried to talk to him.
What she learned in her mind was needlework, scriptures, obedience to elders, respect for her husband, and a well-behaved personality.
With her efforts, Titan gradually relieved his nervousness and started chatting.
Since the girl was born, she has hardly left the castle, and even if she did, it was always under the supervision of servants.
She was very sad and even shed tears when she heard the story of Titan's tragic childhood.
"I'm sorry, I'm rude, sir." When the girl saw Tai Tan staring at her, she turned away and wiped away her tears.
The inexperienced Titan thought for a long time, how to push him down?
In the end, I could only say with a grimace, "You look pretty when you cry."
Girl, "..."
The two of them burst into laughter.
This arranged marriage was decided with this smile.
