"Chief Catana, everything is okay."
"Under your rule, the kingdom has shown a new side." After greeting Katana, the Danes also docked one after another.
They did not get off the ship immediately. It was not until the leader Lagertha met with Katana that they moved the goods box by box.
"Robbery is profitable." As long as you survive, the profit is often five to ten times. The shrike shook the sand off his body and stepped between Oran and his father with dignity.
The damaged front teeth, scars on the neck and corners of the eyes are all shining evidence at this moment. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely inherit his father's position and even become a
"Hand of the King".
"You must have no idea what Shrike has been through in such a short period of time." Oran pointed at Shrike, never mentioning the trouble he caused with the women in Wessex.
The father is always happy to see his children grow up, looking at the shrike who has grown half a head taller after leaving home. Katana landed hard with his big, thick hands.
But this time, Shrike's body only bent slightly, and then pushed back. Shrike was already taller than his father's shoulders. Maybe in two or three years, he would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Become one of the best knights in the kingdom. Shrike's brothers and sisters also stood aside and saluted Oran.
They paid respect to Oran with the courtesy of juniors. Oran took out some of these Dan people's goods and gave them to Shrike, asking him to distribute them among his family members.
These children and teenagers envied their arrogant elder brother giving orders. Then Olan got on the carriage and returned to the fortress with Katana who was riding a powerful horse.
Oran was very tired and sleepy, and the roaring night waves on the sea made him not sleepy at all. A large warm wooden barrel had been prepared a long time ago, and a half-clothed servant served him.
Olan fell asleep under the gentle massage, and when he woke up again, the sky was already dark. Then Oran was led by the servants into the Katana Hall, where he dined and discussed military affairs with his men.
The wolf king is dead, and the wolf cubs are biting everywhere like crazy. When Olan comes back this time, the biggest trouble is
"Yin Val".
"Your Excellency." Everyone stood up and saluted in unison except Katana who didn't need to get up. Ever since Oran used the sand table deduction method and promoted it to the kingdom, this simple and fast battle situation discussion has spread.
The rockery map next to the dining table shows the northern front and the islands in the northeastern part of the kingdom. Oran said and sat down, then approached the map.
Catana loves blue, so the small flag on it was painted with precious purple dye.
"Each small flag represents fifty people." A local knight introduced the ratio used in their county.
Oran calculated, and Yinvar actually invested more than 2,000 troops, planting red flags representing Viking enemies from Galloway to Manchester County.
Even more than half of the Galloway region was controlled by the Vikings. Due to tactics such as fortifying walls and clearing fields, establishing strongholds, and abandoning villages and towns when the situation was weak, the land the Vikings conquered in Northumbria was limited.
But Olan is back now
"Control the board", we cannot allow these Viking rats to continue running rampant.
"The next quick order is to ask Gliese to help defend East Anglia. If Downey can't defend it, then retreat and don't confront Snake Eyes. Also, take all supplies, horses, and equipment from King's Landing. Bring them here, even if they are newly recruited soldiers, send me at least 500 people. Those Vikings who had surrendered to me earlier were all organized into camps and concentrated in the north of Manchester County." Oran then pointed to the red flag,
"There are only so many people in Galloway. It's a bitter cold place. There is no value in protecting it if we lay it down. In the coming year, Yinval will retreat. Let's grab a more valuable place to come back." Oran pointed to the mountainous road in the north of Manchester County.
"Blooming in the center, attacking from the north and the south." These eight words were very novel. The person who recorded it raised his head and listened carefully.
"But anyway, our troops are far superior to Yinvar. There will be no more than a thousand Viking warriors in the northern mountainous area. We must gather more than twice the force. Attack this key place, and then expand the results from all sides. As long as the Vikings are driven away Out of here, the towns and food-producing land they can control will be limited to the coast. When the time is right, we will send troops to surround and eat them." In short, Olan's words are: There are many people in my territory, so I am not afraid of being hurt. , fight with you for family wealth, come and exchange one for another.
Actually, this proposal is not a good one. At least Catana was against it. Because Oran simply doesn't have much wealth to support this style of play, and the team travels through various places and collects the private property of manor owners and nobles everywhere.
But in the name of defending the country, they were scrapped. However, face must still be given. Under the applause of Shrike, everyone agreed,
"Two thousand versus one thousand, I have the advantage, Your Excellency!" And Olan himself didn't object. But when the meeting is over, they will take out a stack of debt letters and let Oran know that all parties need money, especially Mercia is in chaos now, and they have absorbed tens of thousands of people into the country. The resettlement cost alone can make him Don't think about sending troops to fight others.
Just get over your addiction. This military talk, by the end, slowly turned into a division of British interests.
As long as Yinvar cannot break into King's Landing, Oran can slowly devour Mercia. This is the situation Katana wants.
He can greatly expand his territory. Now the Lionheart King has fled to Kunsang, his wife's brother
Soldiers regrouped around "Otto's" territory, which is just below Manchester County. If the Lionhearts suffer another huge defeat, the position of head coach of the North Sea Crusaders will need to be replaced.
When entering the high-level conspiracy discussion, the hall emptied out, leaving only a few people talking secretly under candlelight.
"Your Excellency, King Lionheart sends orders every two days. He is our nominal commander and cannot be delayed any longer."
"Yes, Joan of Arc was also in his hands. In order to avoid the chaos, she was held hostage by him. We can't pretend not to know." At this time, Katana took out another letter and signed it.
"Joan of Arc".
"When will this woman be able to write official documents?" Oran took it and read a few lines, his smile condensed, his face was unkind, and then he threw it to Lagertha beside him.
Lagertha read it out unceremoniously, then laughed,
"The saint you support actually accuses you, the son of God, of refusing to lend a helping hand."
"Perhaps it was Lionheart's intimidation," Katana added. Joan of Arc was poisoned by Oran with drugs and wine, but after she fled eastward with the Lionheart King, he used his so-called miracles to guide her against Oran.
Now all she could think about was that she was a true saint, chosen by God, and she was too sick. And the monks around Brother Tian also brainwashed her day and night, making her believe
"Brother Tian" is the orthodox one. She is a miserable woman who was taken advantage of by Oran and got to this point. After she escaped from Oran's control, she was manipulated by other careerists.
Olan thought for a while,
"If we fight calmly like this, develop cautiously, expel the Vikings, help Mercia recover, and then fight back and forth with the Viking forces in the next few years, wandering between lion hearts and flying snakes, you say it will take us a few years to become The only master in England can increase your fief several times before you can complete the Hanseatic League." Oran asked his subordinates Henry, Katana, and Lagertha each a question.
The problems are different, but similar. Their dreams depend on the power of the Eagle Lord.
"Fifteen years, if you are lucky, England will listen to your orders." Henry replied. This method is to establish a very stable political state, with every county magistrate ending up in Oran.
"too slow."
"That"
"Surface surrender is also surrender. As long as the island's Catholic nobles recognize my decree, it doesn't matter if you don't pay taxes. I will shorten the time to three years and be a nominal co-owner." Oran added.
"Then as long as most of the land of Mercia is taken over by our country, there will be no conflict between Galloway and the Scottish border, Wales will have the power we support, and Cornwall will hold back Wessex." Henry Baihua's mind was spinning very quickly. , except that he is not evil enough, shameless, and vile, he is the kind version of Sals.
Olan didn't just come up with something impromptu during a meeting. Every day, he always had countless inferences in his mind. For example, one of the methods is to poison King Lionheart... He wants to quickly establish England, and then invade Ireland and other places, even Frank.
Use war to feed war, so that you can follow in the footsteps of Charlemagne. If you are strong enough and attack others to keep the island in a stable state, wouldn't that mean peace is achieved?
"Send a letter to the Lionheart King, saying that Ben Bo will go to see him soon, and ask him to rest assured." That night, Oran closed his eyes, and the crown of England appeared in his mind.
This time it was clearer than before. He had a sweet dream, but he didn't see that under the stairs to the throne, there were all dead bodies and bones.
