Masks removed, robes removed.
The tattoos dyed with rune letters appeared on the bodies of the three messengers (warriors).
The messenger took out six letters that had been secretly communicated with Anhar for a long time.
It is clearly recorded in it that something happened in a certain year, a certain month, a certain place.
"His Majesty said that Odin's wrath will ignite the entire North Sea. If you disagree, everyone will receive a copy of these letters in two days."
"I can make it impossible for you to leave alive."
The envoys were not afraid of threats. One of them pulled out a dagger and said, "After you die in battle, your soul will live forever."
Another person grabbed a handful of Dumo Gugan mixed with various medicinal herbs and bit it. After a while, his lips turned red.
He raised his arms high, looked at the light through the window on the ceiling, and took a few steps to let the faint light from the upper level penetrate into his body.
At this time, the soul echoes with the gods of the Asa clan.
The wide long bridge rose, and two huge black crows flew back and forth.
A palace full of gold and precious stones stands...
Anhar Closi was stunned. He saw that this man's body was covered with scars.
The pursuit of the Kingdom of God makes him ready to sacrifice his life at any time.
madman!
Threatening to kill only made them more excited.
"Your position as Sheriff has now become a guardianship and has been handed back to your brother's son. In a few months, you won't even be qualified to use this title."
"how do you know?"
"The god Odin knows everything."
In fact, there was more than one nobleman who had done business with Ragnar, so he could naturally get a lot of secrets.
"I can let you go and you can defeat the king on your own. This is my bottom line."
"Have you forgotten the deal between us? You will be the King of Mercia, so you will have to give in."
The messenger produced another letter.
This is another battlefield, a letter of allegiance from Sheriff Gochier of Shrewsbury County.
"This belief is false!" Anhar didn't believe it.
"Mercia is big, but it only needs one king to govern it, and he wants to be that.
After daybreak, if you don't agree, the three of us will die here, and then your betrayal will be sent to the king's table, and the army will break through Shrewsbury. The battle situation is the same, but your fate is different,
If you surrender to both sides, no one will protect you.
It is an ordinary person to behave in a way that can realize immediate benefits.
To act in a way that will realize future benefits, for the discerner,
He who behaves in a way that protects the interests of future generations can be called a wise man.
The Lionheart King has dethroned Amon the Confessor, and many county chiefs have also had their estates reduced. The best outcome for you is to die of old age in the manor.
"What should I do..." Anhar sat in his seat, spent the most difficult few minutes, and finally gave in.
"We are risking our lives here. We know that the king has also sent people to monitor us. Tonight, we will gather them first and poison them all, including your nephew. He will die in his sleep. If you are kind, you can also keep him. A life, or let us serve for you?"
"It's up to you..."
Later.
Anhar took out all the hidden wine, and then called over the more than 20 people who had been left by the king in this stronghold.
Drink with them.
The team commander refused at first, but under the temptation of the alcohol bug, he drank the first cup, the second cup, the third cup...
When everyone was laughing unbridled and making various jokes, Anhar decided to get up and leave for a while.
A few seconds later, the closed door opened again, and his followers and Vikings rushed in.
Some held hammers, while others held swords or battle axes.
Taking away the lives of a group of people who were so drunk that they couldn't even pee was just a little harder than breathing normally.
They tried their best to restrain themselves, but in the end they went crazy and many people had their heads exploded...
When the three envoys left the castle, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had indeed bribed Goqier, but they failed.
But it is still possible to capture his men and monks and forge a letter.
Anhar himself was in a state of high tension, and forcing him might have the opposite effect, but when he knew that someone could replace him, things quickly worked out.
From the moment a person makes a deal with the devil, he becomes a devil in his heart.
His dissatisfaction with the king, his desire for benefits, and his lust for the princess drove him into the abyss.
He will not care about the invasion of large amounts of land, he only cares about his family and even his own honor and disgrace.
These people rode fast horses and came to the meeting place before the sun reached its highest point in the day. They saw Sigurd the Snake Eyes.
"Your Majesty, are you still coughing?" the envoys asked anxiously.
"Not too optimistic, but I believe that victory will increase my father's life. Every time he captures a county, he will live happily for a few more days."
Snake Eyes' army then entered Cambridgeshire.
The Lionheart King controls most of the main force in the rear, and lets the disobedient nobles in the front guard the fortifications until support from the south arrives before taking risks.
At this time, there was a information gap of about a day between Snake Eyes and Lionheart's army.
Snake Eyes has two choices. One is to go east, break through Lincoln County, and face the Sheriff Quick Sword Berry (venomous tongue).
After defeating him, enter East Anglia and rescue his brother Halfdan, but if this takes too long, the opponent will soon discover the abnormality and change the formation again.
The other is to face west, close to the king's main formation, and there will definitely be fierce fighting along the way.
But if it succeeds, Bergred can be captured directly.
There are only a few battle plans.
Use your strong points to attack your opponent's weak points.
Trade speed for space and time,
Use various resources to achieve the desired situation,
He called the priests who accompanied the army, began to pray, used the purest blood sacrifice ceremony, and even had a loyal warrior willing to sacrifice.
Only by drinking the blood of such pure believers can the gods be pleased.
They are in an era of tradition and change. They can wear advanced crafts and jewelry from various Mediterranean countries on their bodies, but in their hearts they follow the oldest rituals.
Nine living creatures were tied to nine trees and then bled...
When Ragnar appeared with someone helping him, he watched the ceremony end with cold eyes.
Didn't anyone tell me that these bastards were waiting for me to die?
From the look in the priest's eyes, Ragna knew what he wanted to say, and he must have chosen the safest way.
I am very religious and not religious.
He committed many things against Odin, and then performed large-scale sacrifices to seek forgiveness.
After he let the priest finish speaking, he ordered everyone to leave, leaving him and Snake Eyes behind.
He doesn't like this son. In other words, for a father who has made great achievements, no matter how outstanding his son is, he will never reach the level of satisfaction and approval in his heart.
"Father."
"What do you think of God Odin's decree just now, don't take risks?"
"Then we should go east."
"East Anglia was so poor when we invaded last time that we had nothing."
"But there's Halfdan, my best brother."
"Ubba is also your brother. When he was brought to Wessex, I asked you to find someone to rescue him, but you delayed. When he finally returned to me, he quickly turned into a cold corpse. "
After sending Uba away, Ragnar's health was obviously failing.
As a warrior who became famous since the time of Charlemagne, people will always grow old.
In fact, he had many physical problems more than ten years ago.
"He harmed Halfdan. You allowed him to be reckless and that's why we are here today. You have built enough reputation. Take a good rest. Father, you are really old."
Snake Eyes said this to say that his father is old, so don't take risks this time.
But the way he spoke was very direct, which Raghuna couldn't accept at all.
"You idiot, defeat the Lionheart King and solve everything!"
Ragnar is right, defeating the king has the greatest benefit.
But being merciless often results in bad consequences.
Snake Eyes noticed that his father's posture was more bent than last time.
"When I was a child, I saw you. You didn't have to do anything. When you stood there, you were like a huge sacred tree. With your hands spread out, you were swinging like a thick vine, which could block the wind, snow, sunshine, thunder clouds and flames.
You are my Odin, my Thor.
Now, I'm taller than you,
Halfdan and I are no longer kids you can hang on a tree when you get angry, and we haven't been since thirty years ago. "
These words made Ragna's heart beat wildly;
Rebellious son!
"My father left me nothing, but you got everything, everything!"
Then he lost his balance and took a few steps back. If he hadn't been leaning against a tree, he would have fallen down immediately.
Snake Eyes was shocked and stepped forward to greet him.
Rag's calloused hand trembled, and when he held it, his snake eyes felt extremely sad.
He decided to follow his father's wishes for the last time.
Catch Lionheart!
But it was this decision that allowed Oran to successfully transfer the people away, and a few days later, he subdued Guthrum and forced Bjorn back.
In order to lure Snake Eyes and others to East Anglia, Lionheart actually gave Berry a command to let the vicious dogs go and kill those people in the east.
Snake Eyes lost a good chance to get his brother back.
But he is not dominated by personal emotions, and chooses the battlefield with the greatest interests to gain more opportunities for the Vikings.
When you make the right decision, Lian Tian will help you.
