Oran's eyes were red but calm.
Nanding's sword went from alert to relaxed.
But his heart couldn't stand it anymore, his pride had insulted Oran's former integrity.
“Do not be drunk with wine, which leads to debauchery, but be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
"Don't associate with drunkards and eat with gluttons. A drunkard and a glutton will become poor, and a sleeper will wear rags."
Nanding read two lines from the classics, "Sir, these are the words you have often advised us before and written in the New Testament."
"I establish laws, but I want to override them. I promote morality, but I don't suppress my sexual ambitions. Is there a problem?"
"Of course you can. The consequences of doing this will be failure, chaos, fear, and then betrayal."
"God chose me, you know?"
“God will not choose anyone, only this person will get closer to God because of his own efforts and conduct. When King Solomon married more and more foreign wives and lovers, these people caused his soul to be divided and turned away from God.
He builds idols and makes people worship him as angels and gods,
In order to support his ideals and living standards, he levied heavy taxes. When a farmer's chicken just laid an egg in the nest, the egg and the chicken would be taken away by the tax collector in less than a glass of water.
When people tried to persuade him, he always said it was for God, for the Twelve Tribes of Israel, for everything.
I finally understood the sentence written in the book: everything in the past is also the future. "
"Very good. I made you a noble knight with both civil and military skills, but you made me talk to me and question the monarch?"
"The Baron told me to protect you."
"I am more powerful than my father. Without me, he would be just an inconspicuous northern baron, and his name would not be spread. The reason why you are famous in the Seven Kingdoms now is not the Blood Cross, but my army."
"I think that no matter whether he reaches heaven or not, he no longer needs to care about the glory in this world, and I don't need this kind of reputation for murder.
He taught me how to hold a sword, etiquette, and loyalty.
The loyalty of your love is to help you block the sword and pay your taxes,
For this reason, Kunsang, Ladd, Sals and others wore silk robes and did devilish things.
You know very well how many people have become bandits because of the forced atonement rolls.
You look down on anyone, but what you have today is the treasure left by those who want to protect you.
The old monk in the barony said that your mother was born with dystocia, but she chose to leave for you, leaving her last words to educate you to become a talented person.
The first baron did not remarry until his death because he was afraid that he would leave you a brother who would be plotted against you.
When you were captured by the Vikings, he already had the strength to unite the entire county, but he chose peace.
Do you know how big the entire Viking North Sea is?
If fifty ships are sent out, they may not be able to find you for a year!
The money he accumulated was flowing out like water, and he had to kneel in front of other county chiefs to ask for support to find you in a few months.
I was little then, but I saw this.
I saw in the late Baron a qualified father who protected his family, a husband who truly loved his wife, and an upright lord.
He just had bad luck, and you don't always get lucky.
Frank rebelled because you treated him like a dog and asked him to bring his own bones.
In the Battle of the Black Forest earlier, you didn't care if you won, but you used rat torture, destroyed the eyes and ears of the Vikings, and forged more mortal enemies.
In order to steal everything from Sally and her father, you treated her like a bitch, slept with her stepmother, and slaughtered her father and brother.
You continue to unleash your brutality on things that can be solved with a sword.
You told Martin in church that those who don’t care about their own lives don’t care about the lives of others.
But you go to the extreme and only care about your own life, regardless of the death of others.
If God chooses you, then there will definitely be a great flood to wash away the filth and sin of the world. "
The atmosphere fell silent.
Oran can cite various counterexamples to praise himself and attribute the credit for England's resurgence to himself.
There could be more debate.
But sometimes, whether something is right or wrong does not require a battle of words, but only people's inner feelings.
Oran called over a few soldiers who had served in the army during his father's time. They were all squad leaders.
Oran asked them, how are they doing now?
They have benefited and are still alive, so they naturally flatter themselves.
Then he called in the newly recruited soldiers and asked the same question.
What they gained was only fear and trembling, because they heard the angry sound of their own drawn swords yesterday.
Oran waved his hand and let these people go down.
Nanding made no excuses. He assumed the responsibility for the retreat of the troops and commanded them in an orderly manner.
Oran leaned against him in the carriage, the phantom of the Voice of Christ sitting opposite him.
He picked up Dumogu and wine in the car.
The voice tried to seduce him, but Olan didn't move.
When did you start having hallucinations?
Oran couldn't think clearly. Pressure and fear made him cruel and shirk responsibility, and then he was controlled by these items.
He opened the door curtain, poured out the wine, crushed the dried Dumogu, put it in his hand, and let the wind blow it away.
He is a human being, not a god. Maybe one day he will be controlled by different bad habits.
Maybe you can climb out, maybe you can't, but that's for later,
Now he needs to stay rational and clear, win this battle, and move back to the north safely.
After arriving at the next stronghold, Oran asked the nobles, "How did the people of the kingdom live during the time of King Ella?"
This group of people are all bound by interests, or have followed for many years. Either they don't say a word, or they think that Olan wants to flatter him, and they all say that they are in the dark.
Only Nanding said, “People’s lives in many areas are now more miserable than before due to war.”
Be careful, and what you see will be different.
Oran just smiled, "Help me, everyone. I hope that in the future, when people mention the era when Oran was in power, one or two people will say,
It is an era when righteousness can be exercised and the stomach can be filled, and this is enough. "
Olan's changes did not make them feel inappropriate.
Olan has performed this kind of scene too many times, and when he turns around, there is a bigger conspiracy.
After staying in this town for a while, Olan continued to speed up and changed the team's route away from the scheduled route. This one was farther but safer.
He wanted to avoid being attacked by a sneak attack, whether it was the Vikings or the Crown Prince.
Half a day later, it was already dusk.
He led a vanguard of dozens of people, did not take a carriage, put on ordinary clothes, and pretended to be a trumpeter.
Only from the perspective of common people can we see perspectives that nobles cannot see.
They took out the crown prince's number plate and were entertained by saying they were regular soldiers.
When Olan, wearing a mask, entered a hut where her husband had died to help the old peasant woman owner inside,
I got a task and asked myself to help look at the small pastries being baked.
When the old farmer woman came back from feeding the sheep, she saw Olan in a daze and almost picked up the broom.
"Boy, you are in a daze, but looking at the good things you have done, this is the food given to you by the knight."
"You can eat it even if it's burnt. I'm too tired, ma'am, and I'm distracted by the defense of England,"
"You don't represent what other people think, and if you can't do even one small thing well, you still want to defend England."
When I was scolded and saw that this old woman who could be my grandmother could not stand upright due to labor,
Oran didn't say anything back and started to help with other things.
That night, he did some odd jobs.
At night, he got a quilt from the old woman.
Oran couldn't cover this moldy thing, and it was also harassed by mosquitoes, making it impossible to sleep.
The next morning, he and the old woman drank porridge water from the Black Lake. When they were about to leave the big house, the old woman went to take out the eggs that were still a little warm.
"If my grandson doesn't die in the battle and returns home, this one will be his."
Olan was stunned and took it. After walking a few steps and looking back, the old woman yelled out of her missing front teeth,
"Don't die, you kid who can't even pick up eggs and feed them."
Half a day later, Olan's team completely disappeared.
But there was a young soldier who lost his family and was forcibly recruited. He stayed inexplicably.
With the help of Oran, he obtained the consent of the village chief and obtained a hut next door and uncultivated land.
He also married a fat peasant woman.
After that, the old woman had a helper at her command, and the young man was happy to do farm work instead of holding a sword.
