This is a letter of greetings from the royal court in the north.
Castle scribes help translate content.
In addition to mentioning the fine for the little fat man to remember to hand in the atonement scroll, in order to commend him for his previous bravery against the Vikings, Oran, the Hand of the King, specially gave the little fat man an honorary title after consulting King Ella. , and also help him establish relationships with the Scottish nobles.
He suddenly became the center of the kingdom. The little fat man was worried but also a little proud.
The Battle of Repton made more and more Ansa nobles feel that the Vikings were not only not that great, but even a lot of trash.
The little fat man is confident that as long as he has more troops to command, then Ragnar and Bjorn will be nothing more than that.
He was born in poverty. In order to survive when he was young, he developed a character of suspicion and profit-seeking.
This reward letter only made his head burn for one day. The next morning, he turned over the letter and read it again, with more and more doubts.
How could such a good thing happen to me?
He knows what the Scots want, if they really talk about it.
Although the two northern counties have not all been ceded, they will most likely become outsiders in the future.
Not to mention Tyrell, a loser who loves men and has a dark personality.
But who in Northumbria doesn't know that Oran is with that bitch Adisha?
This is tantamount to greatly infringing on Oran's interests. Can Oran have this kind of consciousness and sacrifice himself for the kingdom?
A man's thinking was limited, so he decided to let his subordinates give him ideas.
When the lights were bright at night, two semi-literate and two fully illiterate knights under the little fat man entered the hall.
Not only him, but also the Sheriff of Ansa in this era, his subordinates were basically equipped with full force.
Most of those who could read and make suggestions were monks or nobles who had gone to church to study when they were young.
There were no priests in the meeting.
The little fat man didn't like this group of priests with shaved kappa heads. When his father was still alive, these priests slandered his blood all day long, saying that he was not worthy of being the heir.
So after receiving the recognition from King Ella, the little fat man immediately sent all the monks in the castle to other places so that they could spread God's mercy to the poor people.
Instead of messing around with maids and believers in a castle or monastery every day
Inside the hall, the lights are brightly lit.
Although the bodies of the four trusted knights were exhausted, their faces were still full of energy.
"I called you here because I have something important to discuss with you."
The little fat man showed them the letter. Of course, these warriors couldn't understand Olan's letter at all, and they had to add the little fat man's dictation.
After hearing this, the four knights all expressed great excitement.
They believed that this was a sign that the county chief would be used more seriously.
Because there is a sentence in it that states that Oran suggested that Frank be appointed as the "Military Commander" of the Kingdom and the "Commander-in-Chief" of the Vikings.
Olan's pie is very big. He doesn't care what the little fat man thinks. As long as the little fat man really brings people here, he will have all kinds of ways to deal with the traitor.
Frank looked at the expressions of his men who were full of expectations that he would climb higher and receive more rewards, and did not give a clear response.
Oran's envoy is still waiting for a reply.
The little fat man still has one day to think.
The lover next to him began to "work hard" while the little fat man was thinking.
Until the little fat man couldn't stand the interference anymore, he began to educate his lover, and finally the two souls connected, and when they were out of breath...
"Sir, you have something on your mind today."
"A letter came from the north, asking me to go back for a meeting."
"Do I want to commend you?"
After the little fat man returned to the castle in Manchester, he would brag to the people around him from time to time that he was one man and two horses, galloping left and right, entering and exiting three times. He was so brave that he almost died suddenly of Ragnar.
The lover next to me had heard it too much, and now she said it in a joking tone.
"You guessed it, you also want me to marry a beautiful Scottish woman."
The lover hesitated for three seconds, and then used his strength again, even harder than before, to express his dissatisfaction.
He looked at the stupid woman beside him, the stupid knights under him, and the monks who looked down upon him.
The little fat man was like Olan at this time. He felt that he was so outstanding, why were there so many insects around him?
Once nobles begin to feel powerful, they will begin to treat those around them with contempt.
Therefore, those kings who control a country or even several countries will always behave foolishly when they are old.
This did not happen suddenly, but was the result of accumulation day and night.
The little fat man kept thinking of the scene where Ella was beaten off her horse and her mouth was full of blood and she screamed.
If it weren't for Katana and himself, the Vikings would have won.
Maybe the king is thanking himself and really wants to benefit himself?
But there must be something wrong with Oran...
Finally, the little fat man pushed his lover aside, then changed his clothes and prepared to go to the study.
"Where are you going?"
The little fat man didn't even look at it.
When the castle waiter entered the study, the little fat man wrote a little by himself and asked the waiter to help him polish it.
This letter is for Catana.
Then he wrote another letter to Gliese.
He figured it out. They were both county chiefs, but the three southern counties were different from the five northern counties.
It had only been a few months since the return, and there was a gap between the two sides.
I should prioritize my relationship with these two neighbors.
If we sort out the situation clearly, Olan is actually not that scary.
Oran used Gliese as an excuse so that he could reconcile with him.
If Gliese wasn't stupid, he would definitely know that it would be better to fall to one side and be a coward.
In any case, there is still King Ella on Oran.
As long as I don't lose the king's trust, there shouldn't be any surprises when I go back this time.
This is the soft side.
On the hard side, the little fat man also made a decision. He wanted to select the most capable soldiers under his command.
If another opportunity arises, such as being alone with Olan, I will kill him!
Shit, please ask Heavenly Father to come down to earth?
I can direct it myself, even more shamelessly than him.
After considering both hard and soft methods, the little fat man finally replied a letter to the envoy sent by Oran. After the preparations were completed, he would immediately go to the north for a meeting.
From Little Fatty's castle to Yorkshire in the east, he sent scouts to deliver the message. It would take basically two days to reach there.
The first time the little fat man sent Gliese a handwritten letter, it was a letter expressing his goodwill.
After the letter was sent into the hall, the scout who delivered the letter received a friendly reply from Gliese and a reply letter. He was satisfied and went back to deliver the letter.
But just as the scout had just left Gliese territory, a person who shouldn't have appeared appeared on top of the main city of Yorkshire... Oran.
After explaining to Sals, Oran immediately went south to talk to his brother-in-law Gliese in person.
Olan took the little fat man's letter in his hand. After reading it, he threw it to his men and burned it as firewood.
"What do I do now?" Gliese asked.
According to the information Oran gave him, Frank relied on his previous military exploits and told people everywhere that he had saved the king. He also sent a letter to Dan City, requesting that in addition to reducing the pressure on the three southern counties, Frank also asked the king to reduce Oran's power.
Naturally, Gliese would not believe all the information given by Oran, but he wanted too much to get back the land that was taken away from him.
But now there is only one chance, to join forces with Oran.
Oran looked at Gliese, "The king has generally agreed to the alliance with Scotland and sent people to negotiate. I don't know what the final result will be.
But marriage requires a groom. If the little fat man dies young, the whole thing will become very interesting. The land of Manchester will return to the king's hands, and your family's homeland will also be taken back by you. "
"Shall I assassinate him?"
Gliese was not interested at all. He wanted to defeat the little fat man, but the risk was too great.
"I will help you. Let's kill him together. I will arrange my manpower in advance on the path from Manchester to Dan City. There are several forests that are good places to start."
Oran emphasized "we".
"Will it cause other unrest?" Gliese asked again.
"After the Vikings came, everything was in chaos. What are you afraid of?
This is just the beginning. I have collected evidence of his treason. Don't worry, even if Frank does sit at the negotiating table in Dan City, his good luck has come to an end and he has no chance to turn around.
Gliese, I married your sister. We are a family. Your honor and your interests are closely related to mine. What is good for you is good for me. "
Oran personally came to convince Gliese and revealed part of the plan to him to gain more trust.
"You have to be prepared during this period." Oran said again.
"What preparations?" Gliese asked.
"Soldiers are ready to be mobilized into Manchester at any time."
Strictly speaking, the risk Oran took this time was smaller than the last time he instigated the Vikings to fight against Ella, and finally had to sneak attack the king's men, and finally enter the Dan City Peace Alliance, which was less risky, but more destructive.
Last time, Oran's cooperation with Ella was basically beneficial to the Invincibles. This time, he is stronger, but hidden from everyone.
From the king's side, he hid his and Tyrell's thoughts and packaged them as loyal and loyal to the king.
Even if Ella is suspicious, there is nothing to guess. This does not harm Ella's own interests. Thousands of Scottish warriors will bring great benefits, as long as they can help Ella drive away the Vikings.
Not only East Anglia, but also the land recovered from the Vikings had enough legal rights to claim that it was under Ella's control.
This is an act of first making a small loss and then making a big profit, and the damage is not directly under his jurisdiction.
To Tyrell, Olan's plan was that the two of them would find an opportunity to arrest the king and the little fat man, eliminate the king's power, let Ella's three-year-old son come to power, and then let Tyrell marry the second princess Yin Mo. .
This would make Tyrell a royal and regent with him.
As for Gliese, Olan used his relationship with his sister and his bitter treatment of the little fat man to connect the actions in the south.
To kill the little fat man, put Ella under house arrest, control John, and intimidate Katana...
These plans are centered on Oran, and they are all strung together in the end. If a major failure occurs, they will all fall apart like dominoes.
That night, Olan was not in a hurry to go back and stayed to talk with Gliese in detail.
And he also went to see his cheap wife in the middle of the night.
In the dead of night, Olan pushed open the bedroom and entered it.
The woman on the bed woke up when something happened.
She was not wearing pajamas, and there was a sword and weapon beside her bed.
I thought it was crazy a few months ago, but now I think it’s still crazy!
But under Oran's instructions, the servant force-fed the wife, which finally improved her appearance. She no longer looked scary. When she squeezed hard, she could finally touch some flesh.
The relationship between the two is subtle, they are said to be relatives, but the woman is full of vigilance.
Even though they are enemies, Oran has no hatred towards this woman. He recently helped her kill the enemy knight and improve her status in the castle.
After looking at the woman for a while, Olan raised his hand and said, "As a wife, you should look up to your husband. You should look at me with obedient eyes. Now sweep these messy things under the bed, stand up and come over to greet me, and kiss me. palm."
The person on the bed moved slowly, and finally came to Olan like a kitten. But when she bowed her head with a meek look, she went crazy again, grabbed Olan's hand, and bit her.
"Bitch!"
Oran grabbed the woman with his backhand and pushed her down.
"I hate women who don't accept their fate the most. As I said, be obedient."
The friendly interaction between husband and wife begins, and when Olan finally leaves, his arms are all scratched red...
…
The end of February 866 AD.
The Viking navy that headed to the Imbilia Peninsula finally retreated from the island.
Although the ship is full of belongings.
But compared to the size of the dragon boat they first arrived, it was 60% smaller.
The damage in this battle was serious, and all the property obtained was earned with one's own life.
It was said to be a huge defeat, but in the end they got a letter of surrender from Asturias and even several offshore islands.
It was said to be a great victory, but even Yin Val himself was injured.
Even other local leaders who responded to the war came to express their dissatisfaction.
Compared with the rough waves when they arrived, the waves were calm now. The dead people entered the Hall of Valor, and the surviving warriors were in a good mood.
They can get more property.
Among them, "Crazy" Chris and "Bullhead" Dre are both in the same boat.
At first, when Dre was ordered to follow Chris, a Frank, he was reluctant, but then he was rescued by Chris on the battlefield. No matter how dissatisfied he was, he had to repay the debt first.
When going out for the expedition, the fleet was grabbing all the way, not very fast, but it was at least three times faster when it returned.
In addition, the number of soldiers was greatly reduced, so each ship seemed much emptyer.
Therefore, there are a lot of girls or child slaves who can be kidnapped back on the ship.
But Chris' boat is different from the others.
Dre looked over and saw that the other beds were full of spring and the fragrance of women.
But Chris changed this boat and the auxiliary boats that followed them into teenagers, and this was not for the purpose of selling them back for money or being used as slaves.
It's for his desire!
In broad daylight, once Chris gets excited, he goes directly on the boat...
If any dissatisfaction arose, he would even push these slaves into the sea.
In order to integrate into the Viking family, Chris became more ruthless and ruthless.
Although Viking warriors are ferocious, it is rare to see them as outrageous as Chris. He does not regard the defeated as human beings at all, but only treats them as pure goods.
Finally, when Frank threw the third slave into the sea, Dre looked at the struggling man in the sea and couldn't help but lend a helping hand to pick him up.
"You lost the goods and I picked them up. Now they are mine." Dre looked at Chris and said.
"It makes sense." Chris didn't feel any displeasure and continued to throw it all the way.
Dre basically saved everything he could. When the ship entered the Irish Sea, he gained ten more slaves for no reason, which was a sudden fortune.
But the joy did not last long, because when the fleet entered Dublin, the bad atmosphere on the island infected the returning team.
Word has spread of the Battle of Repton, and King Ragnar's order to hold Yinvar accountable.
In other words, they were about to conquer England again.
Throughout February, only sporadic conflicts broke out.
Ragnar kept accumulating strength and finally waited for Snake Eyes Sigurd.
The twilight of the Viking gods will become more and more intense.
