On the orders of King Burgred for a great celebration, a detachment came from Cambridgeshire.
The emblem on the flagpole flutters in the wind.
The eye-catching black shield paired with two bright red swords symbolizes strength and glory.
The leading noble was dressed in scale armor, and his face helmet only exposed his eyes and lower lip.
Looking from the side, this is a well-trained armed force.
Among the team emblems, there is also a servant holding a seal flag similar to that of the Mercian royal family.
"Who is that?"
After receiving the news, the people who came to worship the saint began to discuss this noble family in low voices.
"Chief Anhal Closi of Cambridgeshire, that seal flag is a proof of honor given by the late king in recognition of the fact that their family has produced four kings."
A businessman who had been to Cambridge for business explained.
Anhar didn't even look at these civilians. He didn't even get off his horse after encountering the royal guard of honor, and went directly to the princess's car.
"Your Majesty." Anhal immediately expressed his respect.
"Sir, long time no see." Hirsch expressed her welcome with her unisex smile.
With these words, Hirsch dismissed the man who moved his shoulders slightly and wanted to step forward to speak.
Hirsch had something important to do, so she personally deployed and prepared to catch all the Vikings who came to visit.
At night, when Anhar came to her resting place, he was still blocked by guards.
After they left, the female officer who brought the dowry from Wessex asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, Sheriff Anhal didn't seem happy when he left."
"This rough man is full of the shortcomings of the Unsa nobles. He is arrogant, fond of drinking, and reckless. But when he puts on a brocade robe, he becomes a noble? He doesn't know as many words as you do."
"But he has hundreds of people under his command, and he is a force that can form alliances." The female officer continued.
As a personal dowry official, she was also the princess's illegitimate sister, and was used by the princess to deal with the nobles of the kingdom.
This is one of the common uses of illegitimate daughters of nobles in this era. They follow the actions of the royal children throughout their lives and become an extension of their will.
"Don't ask, I know you are afraid that I will ask you to accompany him." The princess pointed out the female officer's thoughts.
"He smells better than a pigsty." The female officer no longer hid her thoughts.
"They were the first Angsa nobles to come to the island. They could still control the throne during King Offa's time. 'Tradition' was the goal they followed. Any changes were seen by them as a blasphemy to their ancestors, so they declined.
His brother was better when he was alive and could listen to others' advice.
When it comes to him, not many nobles want to marry. This man is always bragging in front of the king about how many military operations he has participated in and how many good deeds he has done. He wants to imitate his father and brother and become the king's hand again, which is annoying. "
"Maybe we can find other women and control him?"
The female officer followed the princess and learned something. She thought, since the county chief had no support, wouldn't it be better to bribe him if he could help him in times of need?
But Hirsch didn't tell this illegitimate concubine.
Anhal Closi will be criticized at the next meeting of the Kingdom's Sheriffs, and then the position of Sheriff will be returned to his brother's posthumous son.
Hirsch looked at the female officer, raised her chin, and brought her lips closer, "You have become more and more lovable recently."
A woman should make good use of her tears and appearance. When she was a girl, Hirsch committed herself to an elder widow in the royal court of Wessex to eliminate the woman's loneliness and get the inheritance left by her.
From then on, it is the same whether it is a man or a woman, a relative or an enemy, as long as it is interesting and profitable.
Then the two women...
…
Celebrations are often accompanied by intrigue,
Laughter always hides murder.
In the last two days of the grand celebration, the Sheriff of Cambridge was very depressed as he was squeezed out by other nobles.
Even when he was blessed by the saint in advance, he saw the saint covering her nose!
When he returned to the resting place and was alone, he found a prostitute in the city and took off his clothes.
The two prostitutes were shocked.
"Sir, these (tumors) on your body..."
"Don't talk nonsense. If you accept my money, then do it."
During a battle, Anhal Closi was wounded by an arrow. Although he survived, the wound became inflamed.
As time went by, the wound gradually formed tumors, spread out, and frequently broke and leaked pus.
He used various secret recipes and applied unknown herbs to make his body produce a stronger odor to suppress the strong smell of the wound.
So in the eyes of others, he is dirty and smelly.
Recently he heard that human saliva can cure this tumor, so he asked these prostitutes to help treat it.
The prostitutes were afraid, but there were soldiers with swords outside the house.
Anhal said, "You also dislike and fear me, but this is the curse of the enemy that I received for defending my country."
Then he took out a bag of coins and threw them to the women.
"Swallow these and you can leave."
"What? Don't you like growing things the most? If I let them rot in your stomach, why are you shaking?"
In the end, Anhar received medical treatment in order for the prostitute to survive.
But the disease still hasn't improved.
He was very scared. The disease was taking away his strength bit by bit, so he had to put on all sorts of cruel looks in front of outsiders to make them afraid.
When he walked out of the house during the day, he saw Lincoln County Sheriff Berry and Princess Hershey talking and laughing in the square.
This woman came back to help the king marry him, and Anhar wanted to get her.
But until now, he has not even touched this woman's hand.
There are many rumors about the princess's affair. He has also used this to threaten the woman into submission, but what he got in exchange was, "You just go and tell the king, by the way, I and your brother's swordsmanship teacher, the palace minister Amon (the Confessor) I also slept in the same bed..."
Pretty boy, bitch...
If you don’t get it, destroy it!
Anghar was annoyed by the cheerful scene in front of him and was about to contact Theodore to see if this person could cause some trouble.
Before the Battle of Repton, he had supported East Anglia to the east of the county, but failed and was captured.
Ragnar promised himself that he could become acting king of Mercia in the future.
So he knelt before Ragnar to repent and convert in order to survive.
Unexpectedly, at the Battle of Repton, the English fought back the Vikings.
The dream of becoming a king failed, and I could only wait for another chance.
"Bergred, Hirsch, you have forgotten that my family's motto is 'noble strength comes from honor'. If you take away my honor, let's see who can have the last laugh."
The big celebration lasts for fourteen days, starting on Sunday and ending on the following Sunday.
That night, Anhar asked his cronies to ride horses to deliver the message.
...
Haqiu.
Oran felt a little cold and camped in the forest.
Every night, the wind penetrates into the bones.
Fire can't get rid of cold, and a cold in this era may kill someone.
In order to protect "Your Excellency", Kunsang got a young woman and threw it in front of Oran. She was probably a peasant girl who collected food in the wild.
If Olan wanted to, Kunsang could also get a good-looking man.
"Women warming the bed is a good way to quickly raise the temperature. It can make people feel hot even in their souls!" Kunsang said.
Faced with such a loyal subordinate, Oran didn't say anything, he just sent her away and let the woman return to her village.
During the day, Oran pretended to be a poor man.
Follow the soldiers to eat wild fruits that are extremely sour, and occasionally you can see insects on them. Eat some rye bread at noon, watch the stars at night, and then return to the camp to eat soft and delicious bread and bacon that has been prepared with salt.
Shrike didn't know what Olan was waiting for, but he couldn't push him. He just always hoped that Olan would send him additional tasks, and even proposed to scout the Vikings.
Oran couldn't be against Katana, he just wanted the shrike to be a mascot, and when necessary, he could reap some credit with him.
】
Oran set up sentries in the surrounding highlands.
Although the forests, valleys and rivers made it impossible for Oran to completely determine the exact location of Theodore's group of Vikings, he knew the general direction.
Time passed quickly, and they also detected unusual movements in the Viking settlement ahead.
After confirming that some Vikings were lured to the direction of Lincoln, Olan knew that he had succeeded.
Another day of waiting.
Olan asked half of the people to stay here, and the other half followed him to double-team them.
"Is that sword hidden?"
"According to your instructions, after the victory, in front of many Mercian County Sheriffs, the Heavenly Father will appear as a saint, wearing a yellow robe, and then give a new king's title." Sals nodded beside him.
