When Gliese entered King's Landing, he found that the bustling place could no longer be described as a village.
Oran brought back some of the homeless people from southern England.
Including the local residents, the permanent population has approached 5,000, even more than his original main city of White Eagle.
In England, where a population of 10,000 is considered a large city, this place can already become the main city of the Sheriff.
February in Northumbria is the season of spring plowing.
The war in the past year has made people live in danger, so they must seize the time to resume production.
Walking through the farmland, there are farmers working everywhere.
People are money. If you give Oran two more years, walls will be built here to establish higher monarch authority.
"Don't let go of the villain who assassinated your Excellency. If anyone dares to take you in, he will be beheaded immediately!"
From time to time, white eagle riders would appear nearby and shout loudly, transmitting the sound farther away.
As the chief of the large county, Gliese was entertained as soon as he entered and was taken to Oran.
The dark room, the crying princess, the heavily guarded guards, and the pungent smell of the potion all made Gliese look tense.
"Sir, are you okay?"
After greeting each other with eyes, Oran waved with difficulty and asked everyone to go out, leaving the two of them alone.
Then he said fiercely, "My enemies can't wait any longer. They want me to go to the Lord and annex King's Landing."
"who is it?"
"Either the king or the sheriffs."
"Could it be a Viking?"
"The Vikings have been driven to the outer sea area by us. If I fall, you will not be able to get your territory back."
"Take good care of yourself and don't talk about this yet."
Gliese still didn't let go, but he was scared inside.
But we can't just walk away now.
He was also here to attend the king's court meeting in the New Year this year.
All the county chiefs came to congratulate him. If he didn't come, many of his rights would be deprived of him.
The way to maintain confidence is to have enough soldiers.
He asked his men to go back and gather people and come over immediately.
Everyone is afraid of death, especially nobles.
That night, Oran asked Gliese to dine with him.
But during the poison testing process, the servant who swallowed the food never swallowed it, and it bulged in his mouth.
Gliese didn't dare to enter and looked at Olan, and Olan also looked at the servant. The servant suddenly spat out the food, turned around and wanted to run away.
The surrounding guards immediately brought the man down and then cleared the area.
He looked at the man and yelled, "Who sent you here?"
The servant gritted his teeth and said, "You force the atonement roll, force everyone to go to the battlefield, and betray the king. You are all demons from hell."
Gliese smelled the wine in front of him again and found a strange smell, and said angrily, "You, a servant, dare to assassinate the Sheriff!"
Finally, the servant said that he was willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of the kingdom and was taken out.
"Gliese, since the king's entire row of teeth was smashed by the Vikings, the facial defects have caused him to become more and more cruel.
He gets angry when he sees someone smiling through their teeth.
She treated the three princesses as goods and humiliated them at will, regardless of the reputation of her father and the monarch.
Scotland always wanted to cooperate with him, the King of Mercia formed an alliance with him, and his wife who had been holding him back was put under house arrest. The little fat man and Katana also joined him.
】
And John and Tyrell are like grass that will fall wherever the wind blows. Among the eight counties, you and I are the only ones who are threatened, so we must prepare as soon as possible. "
"Your Excellency Oran, you are serious. I think my reputation is not bad. If I meet the king, I can clear up the misunderstanding."
Seeing that Gliese was still holding on, Orland said,
"It wasn't bad before, but your sister is also my wife now. I received news that the king is going to use the fact of my bigamy to launch an attack at the conference. As for the territorial dispute between you and the little fat man, the king firmly stands on the illegitimate son of the former king. , if I fall, you will fall too.”
Gliese looked into Olan's eyes and couldn't see the truth.
After being murdered twice, Gliese has to believe it even if he doesn’t believe it.
The poisoning of the servant was discovered just now. Gliese calmly observed everyone present, and they were all panicked.
Doesn’t it look fake?
And by forcing the atonement scroll, he also received the benefits, and he was a person with vested interests, so he believed in the words of this servant more and more.
"What should we do? Your Excellency."
"I surrendered earlier and said I was willing to hand over the northern territory, but the king still refused to let me go. Then I will protect myself and speed up the seizure of his royal power."
No matter what, you can't accept such words, Gliese just listened and said nothing.
But I also started to calculate in my heart, what are the benefits of overthrowing the king?
When the meeting ended, Gliese left shortly after.
Oran got up and headed to an alleyway in King's Landing.
The servant who was captured just now was brought here and tied up without being tortured.
When Oran appeared, all the guards backed away, leaving only two of them.
The servant saluted respectfully. This servant was arranged by Oran.
"The performance was very good, even Gliese believed it."
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity."
When Oran stepped forward to untie the rope, he suddenly swung his sword and took away the servant's life.
“Only the dead can keep secrets.”
Oran's assassination was faked and only a few people knew it.
As for the poisoning, only he knew about it.
Oran even lied to his wife, so he couldn't tell any of his men, otherwise it would only increase their fear and uneasiness.
It would be great if Kunsang was here, he could help him do any evil thing without damaging the master-slave relationship.
Thinking of Kunsang's injury and Armand's betrayal.
The anger made Oran's wounds hurt.
He had already made a plan in his mind. At this New Year's meeting, he would provoke a conflict between the county chiefs and send the little fat man north to kill him, leaving it to the Scots.
Then he sent King Ella to a monastery and was imprisoned. As the king's hand, he assisted his youngest son and changed the inheritance law to make the fourth princess the crown prince.
Malm has been deprived of his inheritance, and the second daughter Yinmo Oran wants to be eliminated. The third daughter Pepa is treated as a prostitute by the king, and is humiliated at will, without status or dignity.
If the four princes who are young and easy to control, have no stains, and are friends with Malm become kings in the future, this country will be a place where white eagles roam.
Let the obedient Tyrrell be the county magistrate in the north, Gliese be in charge of the south, and sit in the center...
Oran wants to be king, but he has to do it step by step.
At the same time as he moved, the little fat man also took a detour to Sheriff John's territory.
The two did not have a close friendship.
The matchmaker among them is not the common master Ella, but Princess Haian.
Ever since Haian lost his younger brother, had his family estate taken away, and died in name only, he has become the same person as the third daughter Pepa.
No freedom at all.
But Ella did not control the actions of the second daughter Yin Mo. Yin Mo, who lost her husband, had a miscarriage and almost died.
Because of this debt, Ella allowed her to accompany her mother, which gave the princess a chance.
With hatred for her father, she became her mother's spy and contacted Sheriff John, whom her mother had an affair with. She wanted to raise troops to take back the kingdom, put her father Ella under house arrest, and put her half-brother in power.
When the little fat man came to John's residence, Yin Mo suddenly appeared and told him Ella's plan,
"My dear cousin, it won't be long before your death comes."
"What did you say?"
"My father will pierce your intestines and stomach with poisonous wine, and while you are still breathing, just like he did to my husband, he will throw you into a snake barrel and feel extreme pain."
That night, Yin Mo, John, and the little fat man talked for a long time.
Late at night, still under the influence of alcohol, we got into the same bed.
Here's the deal.
When people strive to achieve their goals, the motivation they exude is terrifyingly strong.
The little fat man thought about his dream of getting a crown in the future.
John thought that in the future, the princess and her daughter would have their own children, and then his own children would come to power.
Katana, who was about to arrive, also received a secret letter from the king and princess.
Taking sides this time will lead to even more terrifying results than last time, possibly leading to the destruction of the family.
"Faith is in your heart, not in your knees."
He read this eight-character family motto over and over again all night long, but he still didn't get any enlightenment.
Some people want to be the king, and some people want to assist the left king.
Catana is ambitious, but not this much.
He doesn't care who wins or loses.
This time, he placed bets on both sides to see who would be more tempted by the benefits.
At the same time, he also wanted to settle accounts with Olan.
Oran forced the atonement roll, but when he refused to give it, he actually ordered his Knights Hospitaller to loot one of his villages in the name of the king.
Give the stolen goods to Gliese, the pretty boy.
If he hadn't performed well in the Battle of Repton, would there be peace today?
It's time for the King's Hand to be replaced, and he can do better than Oran.
It is me, Katana, who saves this chaotic and weak country!
People are always immersed in their own greatness and ignore the performance of others.
Ella felt that her face was ruined for fighting against the Vikings.
The county chiefs felt that they were fighting life and death for little benefit.
Oran felt that he had suffered a great injustice.
Being such a competent Hand of the King, he led the Northern Army Alliance, issued atonement scrolls, attacked the Vikings, and established the name of the North Sea Crusaders.
When you open the history books of Northumbria, who can compare with you?
The nobles and the king were filled with anger,
Before the summer of this year arrives, the kingdom will usher in its true master with countless blood.
