early morning. Arion put on women's clothes and put on makeup. From now on, her only responsibility is to give birth to blood.
The birds outside the house screamed and came out to look for food, but she became a caged bird from then on. Olan also woke up alone at this time. The silk robe on his body was decorated with various patterns. This was a material imported from Frank. He made ten sets.
In addition to him, there are one set each for his two wives and Edward, and three sets each for Kunsang and Nanding. The maid waiting outside the door quickly pulled her hand away from the wall, rubbed her eyes, and came in to help Oran.
After helping Oran girdle his belt, Oran walked to the window, which was now half open, allowing him to enjoy the morning breeze.
Below the top is a scene of the life of the people of York Territory. The wind did not bring the fresh smell of weeds, because there were so many people busy, and the foul smell around the castle soon came up.
Looking at the busy place, the square is bustling with people. This is the largest city in the surrounding area. The merchants in the city immediately leave the city to trade elsewhere as soon as the light falls on the earth, and business travelers from other places also come from far away.
From Oran's position, he could see that these distant black spots would bring various commodities into the city in a short while.
Plop, plop! Oran felt the healthy heartbeat of the castle. Farmers wield their farm tools, and sweat seeps into the earth, nurturing crops.
In the market, various artists and craftsmen display products or perform themselves. Although there is a foul smell in the air, this prosperous and uplifting scene is the morning scene that Oran likes.
Oran turned his back to the maid and said in his voice,
"Go and ask the person who rings the bell to announce the dawn to add a sentence and repeat it ten times."
"What words"
"Long live England." The maid nodded and hurried down. Olan felt inexplicably touched. He looked back for a while and took out the bagpipe from his bag.
Music is the language of the soul. Sometimes it is more suitable to use this product for moods that are difficult to express or describe.
This is a northern musical instrument that Reina taught herself. It is one of the best entertainments for people in Scotland or the Galloway region.
The inspiration contained in his heart urged Oran to speak. When he hit the first note, the volume faltered. He tried a few more times, then the sound got louder and louder.
Suddenly! A clear note came out of the window, and the servants working inside and outside the castle stopped at this moment.
Morning is a time for monks and God to sing songs and pray. This folk-like sound has never appeared at this time in the past fifteen years.
Fingertips flowed, and Olan's fingers danced. He blew louder and louder, his mind immersed in it, and the notes fell to the earth along with the sunshine.
Further away, residents who could barely hear a sound were concentrating and looking at the tall tower in the distance. Oran played two songs in a row.
The monks and knights who followed the sound abruptly took back their curse words when they saw Oran's room under the castle.
When the third piece of music was played, Olan was at the end of his skill and he knew how to play three pieces. His expression looked happy and satisfied.
Then, the bell ringer shouted England! Once, twice, three times... After ten times, the crowd around the castle shouted the name of this land together.
At this moment, everyone's minds are connected and their spirits resonate. Lead the team back to the day of King's Landing.
Arion and Oran become one. The former has hatred, the latter has no love. They are truly a match made in heaven. By the end of the year, Northumbria received a Frankish embassy.
As a strong monarch, once you gain a foothold, people around you will come to see you. At first, Oran tried every means to connect with the Frankish nobles, but with little success.
He didn't deserve it then. But when the Viking invasion temporarily receded, England was divided into three. The foreign nobles could see the situation clearly and began to invest in support again.
The number of Franks and Danes entering the island began to increase. Mercia was in chaos, so they either entered from London and other North Sea ports, or entered from the surrounding areas of Yorkshire.
Facing the envoys from the Frankish royal family. Oran only,
"You ignored me that day, but I will continue to flatter you from now on." Make money, not shabby. I'm determined to eat this soft meal.
If he could directly connect with the authorities, he and the merchant ships of the Dan Alliance would be able to avoid a lot of detours. The goods produced by millions of Franks were an astronomical amount of wealth.
To the Frankish envoys, he always praised Rome in words and praised Charlemagne in deeds. I wish I could be a son or even a grandson.
With the friendly expressions of the Frankish royal family, more and more small forces from the North Sea came to King's Landing. Even some Irish chiefs brought local specialties.
For a time, it was like a prosperous time when envoys from thousands of countries came and all nations came to court. Oran listed the fifteen tribes of Ireland, Scotland, and the North Sea as
"A country without conquests." Of course, this is a beautifully written statement. In fact, Ireland, the most unconquered country, is about to become
"Boneless Island". Among them, the eight Irish tribes all have a population of several hundred and cover an area of dozens or hundreds of square kilometers.
They wanted to seek protection, and Oran wanted to show his destiny in front of the people, bragging that even the nobles of Ireland came to pay tribute to him.
Shaped by Oran
The "British Cultural Circle" slowly expanded its influence.
"Unsa Orthodoxy in King's Landing", the words began to be born. However, the Mediterranean city-states further away, as well as the nobles of Constantinople, still did not realize the existence of Oran at this time.
Oran funded a merchant ship that sailed south from the Franconian Provence region to the Mediterranean. After all the hard work, it reached the castle, but could not even see the door to the royal hall.
Because he hid unnotified items, his goods were confiscated and he was deported. The captain did not dare to take responsibility, and the truth in his report was: "Basil, the Lord of the Castle, humiliated Northumbria!" It took half a year for this to be reported back to the mainland, and Oran was so angry after hearing it that he couldn't even eat dinner.
If he succeeds in his ambition, the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea will be stained with blood! Of course, just think about this. Let’s continue sending ships next time.
......... Mercia is in an awkward situation now. As a king, Bergred should be the co-leader of the Crusaders, but looking north and south, not to mention the White Eagle and the Flying Snake, even the knights under him don't obey his orders very much.
Because in order to redeem a pot-bellied princess, he and a defeated sheriff actually agreed to the partition of Mercia.
But the princess who returned to the country was assassinated by a noble from another faction. Otto relied on Oran's power and publicly accused such women of being unqualified to become a distinguished princess.
On the way, they sent someone to kidnap and kill the princess. Although it was unsuccessful, the princess did not dare to return to the king. After weighing the situation, King Lionheart sent a message to the princess, saying that as long as she gave birth to a child and executed her, everything would be restored to the way it was before.
He intended to use this argument to appease both factions. But for the princess, she already felt the Lionheart King's dislike of her, so she agreed openly, and turned around and led Berry to win over the traitors. Anhal, the Sheriff of Cambridge, and Gochier, the Sheriff of Shrewsbury, became her Object to strive for.
The reason why she fell into the hands of the enemy in the first place was entirely to protect the king. There is also an edict in her hand that the king entrusted her with negotiating with the Vikings.
When the woman took out this document, she won enough sympathy among the nobles of Mercia. What's more, she is a member of the royal family of Wessex and Alfred's cousin.
This is a good time for the Flying Serpent to intervene in Mercia. In the name of protecting members of the royal family, the flying snake army unscrupulously annexed more Mercian towns.
Pressure from the south decimated the number of Protestant towns in Mercia. The husband and wife separated, the kingdom was divided, and Mercia spent the entire winter of 869 AD in this chaotic scene.
When the time came to the spring of 870. This snake-eyed bastard was born in Cambridgeshire! Otto once again seized the opportunity to force the Lionheart to make a public statement.
When people enter a downward trend, people around them will leave quickly. When he launched another 300 men to attack Shrewsbury County to no avail, only a small half of the county remained loyal to his territory.
More than two thousand handymen, servants, and soldiers were distributed in ten towns. Counting the civilians, the population under control was less than 20,000.
Just one battle can completely wipe out the Lionheart King. For a monarch, there is nothing more painful than witnessing the demise of the country in his own hands!
It's summer. During the second meeting of the three kings, Oran and Alfred had already bypassed the Lionheart King. Flying Snake inspected Mercia.
The laws of knights also spread. Even the Oran Territory is affected by these two laws. Starting from this year, later generations of scholars in Anza
"Era of the Seven Kingdoms", renamed
"Post-Three Kingdoms Era". or called
"Northern and Southern Dynasties". King's Landing is to the north and Winchester is to the south. The end of Mercia, entering into the numbers.
