"Your Excellency, have a good rest!"
"kill!"
Olan hasn't fainted since the beginning of the day.
On the fifth day, his will became better again. Every hour, he would ask about the news of Kunsang, Nanding, Taitan and others.
The answers I got were all okay.
"I will kill all Armand's family members and hang them to death..."
The more Olan's body hurts, the harsher his words become.
The elegance of a noble is only when he is calm, and now, Olan is so painful that he wants to curse, and must say "dirty"
"Would this be too harsh?"
Now following Olan are Nanamp and Tuman. These two people are not seriously injured.
In terms of domestic affairs, Orandu left Nanamp to deal with it.
"Isn't it enough to lay out a few charges, just saying that he embezzled territory taxes and colluded with the Vikings?"
If Armand had blocked the arrow for him, he could have killed Hestein immediately, and Kunsang would not have been injured so seriously.
You can also use your clear will to direct the battle situation. Knut and Halfdan are useless. You can create unprecedented victories!
All this is because Armand is greedy for life and afraid of death.
The traitor mistook me!
Unforgivable.
"Turn all his family records into a sinner and reward him to Kunsang. Give him the fiefdom as well. Let's go and do it."
"yes."
After calling Nanamp away, Oran looked at Tuman, who was nervous and lowered his head.
"Very good, Tuman, you are damn good and you did not let me down...cough."
"Your Excellency, this is just the duty and duty of a knight."
Oran didn't know whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm when he said this.
"Tuman, I heard from Nanamp that many knights died in the battle, especially the king's wing. Show me the list of knight casualties in the eight counties."
Now Ella is also lying on the bed. As the Hand of the King, if she cannot discuss matters, she will soon be replaced by her subordinates.
This is as scary as a Viking invasion. You must maintain control of the overall situation at all times.
When Tuman got the list, Oran looked at it and saw many people dead in Yorkshire. One of them was the one he had agreed to with his new wife Arion on their wedding night. Let Bashas, a knight who was loyal to Gliese and harmed her, die.
Olan didn't forget, so this time he arranged for this man to come on stage and kill with a borrowed knife. When he saw his name, Olan made him die in battle successfully.
"Can you write? Help me write a letter to Yorkshire to..."
"I only know a few words, Your Excellency."
"Then go and learn. Writing and swords are both a wonderful world for nobles. If you master both, you will find that the world is so broad."
Oran's meaning is very clear. If you are still alive and have expressed your loyalty, there will be many opportunities to reuse you in the future.
There was no one around him who could ghostwrite, and he didn't want to use those word waiters. He looked at the list and decided to find a few new characters to fill his casualties.
This time it was too tragic, all his hospital riders were wiped out, but the long list of deaths on the roster made him feel a little calmer.
The king stopped talking. He was left with half his life and his mouth was smashed.
The best performers should be Katana and Frank. The two of them did not have many external injuries, but almost all of their main players were ruined.
Tyrell and John, who were in charge of logistics, took on the reputation of evil ministers and continued to amass wealth to finance the war.
His lover Adisha did not go into battle to help him stabilize the border with Scotland and build up strength.
And a few days ago, they killed all the former Sheriff's family, but unfortunately the witch Sally escaped.
Thinking of this woman, Olan suddenly felt annoyed.
If the weeds are not removed, they may grow into towering trees in a few years.
When these thoughts dissipate.
"Tuman, help me call these people over."
Olan circled the list. After a while, three young people came to his door. Under the leadership of Tuman, they nervously entered in front of the bed to see Olan.
"Well done. The battle report says that you each killed four Vikings or more."
"This is all because of you and Your Majesty protecting us." The four of them said in unison.
"I will advise your Majesty to inventory the land. Too many manors have lost their owners, and too many women are deserted in bed and need the comfort of men. I will take it back again. The land you hold will increase. Your master has died. From now on, you We are all knights, so we can use Ben Bo’s eagle flag...ahem..."
If you talk longer, Oran will cough.
"Tuman, give me a sword and a title."
Tuman, who was standing aside, heard this and was very happy. This was a great honor. Finally, with Oran watching, Tuman rewarded three knights.
"Remember, I hate traitors the most. Don't even think about them for a moment. Otherwise, you will regret being born in this world! Thank you, Your Majesty, the Lord, thank you, and Viscount Tuman."
Oran gritted his teeth and emphasized the last sentence, and now Tuman was also undecided.
Viscount!
Oran asked him to come closer to her with her eyes, and said slowly, "Tell me which woman you like as your wife, and I will make her a member of your family and pick a few pieces of land as your daughter's dowry."
There was a mixture of kindness and power, and Tuman had a mark on his head when he finally left.
There are benefits to such heavy battle damage. No, there is a lot of unclaimed land at one's disposal.
In order to guard against sneak attacks by opponents, we still need to continue to recruit troops.
Not only Olan thinks so, but Amon also thinks so.
After Olan's injury was not that serious, he came to see Olan with the order of the King of Mercia, wanting to find out.
Oran smiled and told him, "Lord Amon, go and tell Ragnar to have his daughter and wife brought to me and His Majesty Ella. Let us sleep enough at once and then talk about peace."
"I think so, the Vikings are all bastards, they only want to fight!" Amon added after finishing speaking, "Ragnar stole many beauties and gave birth to several beautiful illegitimate daughters. What you just proposed is very good."
Finally, the recruitment orders issued from Repton were ruthlessly scattered to every corner of the country.
Originally, the Vikings were invaders and the nobles were protectors. However, when the war was likely to fail, in order to preserve their wealth, the nobles turned to a brutal attitude towards their subjects.
Those who can be persuaded by faith have a better attitude towards the soldiers. Those who are unwilling to accept recruitment and pay taxes in advance, and some nobles even take action directly...
Under the command of Ragnar, the Vikings, who failed to attack by force, began to pull back the offensive line.
There were riots over the land they controlled.
The Mercians were mad, or rather the whole Northern army was mad.
They frantically mobilized any resources in the land and collected them as long as they could be used as weapons against the Vikings.
On the sixth day after the battle, both sides sent envoys again, but this time, the envoy from the Unsa nobles only said from a distance, "We will use all the skulls of you old Vikings to hold excrement."
After saying that, he walked away.
After the failure of the Kent invasion, and the heavy defeat of the main force of the Vikings this time, many Viking leaders who followed the war proposed that if they wanted real peace, they could just take the land in all the currently controlled areas into their hands.
At least, get through this cold winter and prepare for food issues first.
On the battlefield, Cross Flying Snake's private soldiers joined the battle, which was a dangerous signal.
Ragnar immediately sent someone to ask, and King Æthelred also sent someone to question him.
Alfred, the instigator, pushed his knights to rebel and disobeyed his own orders. He himself was extremely loyal and supported his brother's orders.
In England in December, amid mutual suspicion among various forces, peace was maintained until the beginning of the new year.
In January of the year 866, the people on the island were not happy at all.
All the food was either taken away by the nobles and said to be dedicated to God and the king, or robbed by the Vikings.
The difference between the two is that the Vikings used a softer approach in order to begin to ease their hatred, while the Ansa nobles were extremely rough.
They sent out various vanguard teams to destroy water sources and burn camps. They also regarded the docile people who were kidnapped by the Vikings but did not resist as traitors.
Human life is becoming less and less valuable.
The price of a hunting dog on the market is even much higher than that of a boy.
…
In the winter of January, sailing in the high-latitude North Sea region, even if you wrap your body in layers.
Each layer is stuffed with fur, but the sea breeze can still penetrate the thick fur and penetrate into your heart.
Three Viking dragon ships set out from Central England ten days ago.
The goal of this fleet is to go to the Dublin area of Ireland to find Yinvar the Boneless.
Sea King Ragnar's invasion order has been sent out, but the lords in each region received it at different times and had different levels of support.
Yinvar took control of Northern Ireland but had not yet arrived, so Ragnar ordered him to go south immediately to cooperate.
When this group of ships passed through northern Scotland and their bodies were frozen into ice men, they were finally discovered by the Vikings in northern Ireland.
and brought them to the island.
The Viking chieftains, led by dragon ships, set foot in Ireland for the first time.
He looked around curiously. The buildings here and the hair color and outlines of the people were a little darker than the Ansa people. Many people had fiery red hair.
People in the port speak various dialects, and clay pots, wine, food, and leather goods from the Mediterranean are also everywhere in this city.
From here to Dundalk, there is some of the richest farmland on the island.
Over the centuries, a large number of immigrants and traders came from the Dublin area, and then went to other areas to trade and settle.
The climate on the island is humid and mild.
Under the influence of the monsoon, various plants and flowers are abundant, and the forest is extremely dense.
As birds fly over the sky, you will see endless green forests. In Roman times, this place was called the "Green Island".
Although Rome is far away,
But in the following centuries, the island's population did not return to its heyday in the Roman era.
This Viking leader came from the command of Halfdan of Denmark and had little relationship with the Vikings of Yinvar. If Ragnar, the nominal co-owner, was not there, it is very likely that his behavior of going to the island without permission would be regarded as A traitor, thus being collared as a slave criminal.
Finally, he took Ragnar's letter and met with Varr's ministers. Only then did he get unexpected news. It turned out that Yinvar had left Ireland long ago. The recent information about him was from the Vikings who stayed on the island. Fake news that people put everywhere.
"How long will it take for Your Majesty Yin Val to come back after he went to the south?"
"That's impossible to say."
The little leader could only stay for two more days. After the supplies were completed, he immediately returned to the harbor. Just as he left the land, a Viking slave ship returned ashore from the Welsh port.
Wales and Dublin are a diagonal sea channel. The two places are not far from each other. There are various scattered small islands around, and the wind and waves are not big.
Therefore, slave ships are different from dragon ships. They have a deeper draft and can carry cargo. This time, they returned with a full load.
"These idiots chose to relax their guard during prayer time and time again, allowing us to land on the coast calmly. This harvest was really good. We caught several young women and sold them to those warrior nobles. On our dining table, they will be Full of sweet wine and fragrant meat."
The two sailors were chatting happily while pulling out a group of ashen-faced Unsa people from the cabin.
They were cattle now, and the Vikings were never polite to such goods.
They took off all their clothes, regardless of gender, and then tied them up with long ropes.
As long as one person wants to escape, it will affect others and make it impossible to escape.
Among the group of slaves, only one "Viking Shieldmaiden" was wearing clothes.
Her expression is different from other people's panic. If the eyes can interpret the meaning, then you can see "hope" in it...
After a while, a young nobleman who came to inspect the goods saw him and asked, "How are our people tied up?"
"Sir, this is not a tribe member. She is a Dane living on Unsa Island, but she can't tell her family origin. Although she has tattoos on her body, it looks like they were recently tattooed. We happened to meet each other and brought them back together. .”
The Vikings themselves were divided into many factions and groups, and it was common for them to capture people from different clans as slaves.
What these Viking bandits did was not out of the ordinary, and they even left her a piece of clothing, which was already a preferential treatment.
"Gather the goods together and start estimating."
The little leader who came out of the boat said that he stepped forward and opened the woman's mouth with his palm.
"The teeth are in good condition and don't smell bad. They will definitely sell for a good price."
The woman's hands and feet were controlled, but she still refused to admit defeat and turned her face and threw her hands away.
Big leaders such as Yin Val and Halfdan can plan wars against counties and even countries, but small leaders also have to find ways to make money.
When Ragnar was still a farmer, he turned his back on his leader and hired ships to explore the ocean.
And this tradition has been passed down. On weekdays, many small leaders gather together the leaders of several tribes, just like Alger did when he invaded Durham. They have boats and people and go to Unsa Island to rob. What they robbed is divided among them. One-tenth was given to the upper lords, and the rest was divided privately.
After a while, the slaves were taken directly to an open space in the harbor, and then the sailors who traveled out put these "goods" out for bidding together with other looted items.
Those who are good-looking, or young and strong are naturally very popular.
Recently, due to the battle with the Vikings on Angsa Island, the entire island was on alert. Several slave ships went out, but not many people came back. But this time, there were a whole ship full of women!
Men are still teenagers or children. This kind of thing needs little food and needs a lot of discipline. After raising it for a few years, they will consider you their master.
All the merchants in the market gathered around, but this woman did not go on stage for the auction.
Because she has been spotted by the little leader who was one of the investors just now.
He decided to enjoy it for himself first. If it didn't please him or he was tired of it, he would package it up and then make it a slave to other leaders.
