"Your Excellency Oran, you are a great scholar who is proficient in theology. I have a theological question that I would like to ask you."
This was the first thing he said when he sat down. Sals beside Olan suddenly felt the smell of gunpowder!
"Say it." Oran said nonchalantly.
"You describe yourself as the Son of God - the same as the Lord Christ. Is this act of creating idols and worshiping them an evil deed?"
Ludwig's words brought his temper to a freezing point!
Before fighting outside, you must first settle inside!
Alfred didn't expect that he had repeatedly warned his subordinates that no matter what problems Oran had, he had to deal with external hidden dangers first, but he had recently robbed his own kingdom's manor territory in order to raise food.
This makes people who always talk about the Seven Good Knights very dissatisfied.
They think the Vikings should be killed, the people should be protected, and food should be found.
These three things can be perfectly balanced without conflict.
Although the robbed manor is currently in the hands of the Vikings, some of its owners have come under the command of the crown prince.
I thought I could go back one day, but what the Crown Prince did, it was all over.
They gathered, represented by Rodway.
This is the hidden danger of the crown prince overly protecting his reputation and adhering to the law.
The crown prince can easily attract knights like Rodway to join him.
Even some of Frank's declining nobles and landless knights came to join.
Even if Æthelred ostracized the crown prince, he did not dare to betray him publicly.
The crown prince is not like Oran, who is frightened day and night, is protected by riders when he comes in and out, tests poison at every meal, and is always suspicious.
But once he does something inconsistent with his reputation, his subordinates' loyalty begins to waver.
Oran looked calm.
Sure enough, traitors are like mud, and mud cannot hold up a wall!
Uncle Ben wants to see the face of the King of Scotland, the face of the King of Mercia, the face of the Viking kings, and the face of you, the old man who has subjugated his country?
Sals made a look. The two of them have been working together for a long time. This is to ask you not to calm down.
Alliance, interests, don’t be impulsive!
Impulsive, so damn impulsive!
Do you want to be impulsive, or do you want to benefit?
I want to be impulsive and take advantage of it!
...
In just a few seconds, Oran exchanged several words with Sals.
Sals stood up hurriedly and helped Oran take care of this problem.
After all, he came from the Church of Wales, and his theological foundation was not bad.
"sit down!"
Oran's cold tone told Sals to shut up.
Then he smiled without missing a beat and responded, "The Gospels say that there is no greater love than for a man to die for his friends, and there is no greater loyalty than to die for one's master.
The way of chivalry, seven kinds of good deeds, Charlemagne recommends loyalty first,
When the Vikings invaded Kent, Archbishop Augustus refused to give in, was burned, and was canonized by the Holy See!
Count 'Pal Niefos', who was unwilling to die face to face, was beheaded, and his remains were brought by Alex, the Holy Bone Knight of our country, and placed in the church to be admired.
And you, the swordsmanship and riding teacher of the Kent royal family.
Rodway, the famous wind gun in England!
You died unable to fight, failed to protect the king, but switched your allegiance to others. I also have a question, is this loyalty?
Rodwig, could you please 'translate' all the sayings about 'good works' in the Old Testament?"
You ask me, but I can’t answer, so I ask you instead.
Olan secretly changed the concept.
Alfred knew that Oran secretly changed the phrase "subordinates die for their masters",
If the Queen of the Left Cheek were present, Olan would be so slapped in the face that his father wouldn't even recognize him.
But the debate on Confucian classics is based on literacy and culture?
Open your eyes, you old Wessex dogs,
Outside the hall, five hundred meters up, the eagle flag is hunting, the king is illustrious!
What Oran is debating is not the Holy Scriptures, but strength!
Holding a sword in one hand and scriptures in the other,
It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree with my explanation, then I’ll chop you with a sword.
This is the Protestant, the Son of God!
Although the Crown Prince caught Olan Yu's disease, he continued like this to no end.
"Everyone, calm down and listen to me..."
"Your Highness, I would like to continue."
When Alfred opened his mouth to smooth things over, Oran took over and said,
"No matter whether you believe in Joan of Arc or the story of Beihai, it really happened, and countless people were encouraged by it, and there was a spark of light in the darkness.
Believers firmly believe that they will win,
Starting from a kind heart, this is good deeds!
And it is also a good deed for you to seek refuge with His Highness the Crown Prince.
You leave with your remaining strength, which joins the great leader,
There will be no needless sacrifices to speed up England’s recovery,
Invisibly, tens of thousands of lives were saved!
You are a great knight, Rodway.
I am here today only for three things: victory, victory, victory!"
After ridiculing Rodway and making him retaliate, it was enough. Oran said nothing more.
"Your Excellency is also a great lord. God bless England and the Crusaders will win!"
Salz applauded, and the others clapped their hands.
In this way, Ludwig's anger was suppressed.
Those who adhere to the Seven Good Senses are not as high as Rodwig. They can only listen from behind, let alone express their opinions.
Henry beside him took note of Olan's words.
After helping Oran take the job of killing the monarch, Henry also became the deputy sheriff of "Aldborough".
And for the first time he participated in a high-level military meeting with foreign nobles, which showed that he had entered the core of decision-making.
The monarch's direct jurisdiction cannot be too small. Oran is basically sealed to the point where it can no longer be sealed.
This is the former king's territory, which was later owned by Little Fatty. It belongs to the core rebellion area.
Geographically, it can reach King's Landing in the north and Mercia in the south.
Therefore, Henry, the deputy sheriff, is more of a title of honor and a position of responsibility.
If Henry wants to go further, he can only hope for a war in the south and flatter Oran.
Henry was married to the sister of Sheriff Lucien.
The two of them were seated very close to each other.
When Oran was talking to the two elders, the Crown Prince, they were also communicating.
Soon after, it was Lucien's turn to speak.
He is the chief naval officer of the crown prince. His territory is in the south, and he has been an important maritime force in the kingdom for generations.
His father and brother were both killed in battle, and the position of county chief came to him.
For today, he secretly prepared more than a dozen exercises.
I saw that he asked someone to bring out the prepared drawings, and also asked the servant to roll out a huge board and hang the drawings to explain the differences between the Viking dragon ships and the Saxon ships on the island.
This method of using both pictures and text is very fresh, and with the manuscript prepared in advance, Lucien spoke very smoothly, with almost no pauses.
Now the Ansa princes have deduced ways to fight against the Vikings.
The first is fortification. Establishing and controlling major strongholds can reduce a lot of manpower investment.
Second, when fighting, start to turn from defense to offense, and even lure the enemy deeper. The island is your home court, and you have been too conservative in the past.
The third is to arouse the enthusiasm of the people and advocate the Unsa culture, which has been ignited with the brutality of the Vikings.
The fourth is diplomacy. With the Crusaders and the Crown Prince joining forces, basically all of Britain except Ireland has launched a "Viking siege network."
】
Of course, the Vikings also launched an "Ansa siege network" against the British countries.
The fifth is sea combat.
This is what Oran lacks most. His marine troops can catch fish, transport goods, and carry some people.
He also wanted a royal navy to protect his goods and territory.
