When Lagertha's figure moved from the boat, to the land, to the soft grass. His equipment also changed from a robe and half armor to a lion skin coat, a steel helmet, and a silver-white Gallic war horse.
She is like a
"Valkyrie". If the war spear in her hand is fired, it will be both conquest and destruction. The horses were brought from the Kent area. After Oran transferred the land in Kent to Lagertha, she gave it to Guthrum, but also participated in the governance of the place.
Her face was smeared with paint and her eyes were sharp. Guthrum now believes in the Catholic tradition, and many Danes who lost the war are forced to join.
But when faith can bring huge benefits, people will change from the humiliation of being forced to the mentality of hating the time they meet.
The Hanseatic League took the initiative of Grusme and started trading with the Lords of the Catholic World. The caravans made several trips to Slavia and even to the east of Russia. With the profits brought by gems and furs, they were able to cover several expeditions.
While risks have declined, future prospects have become more promising. Lagertha has not yet converted to Christianity, but her men are happily mixing with Guthrum's men.
The Wolf Lord and the people of the Carpenter God are going to rob everything around London this time. Everything must have an explanation, this is what Oran told Lagertha.
In the past few decades, the Vikings had a bad reputation due to plundering back and forth. Since you have become a member of God's camp, you must follow the rules.
To occupy land without a claim, forge a claim or support a puppet. If you want to use force for nothing, then create a reasonable reason for starting a war.
So this time, their reason was that when the Flying Snake Navy encountered a Dane merchant ship off the coast of England, they snatched a ship of tribute to Frank.
This ship of tributes is all ordinary handicrafts. However, Lagertha deliberately delayed delivery to Frank, and after the deadline, she sent people to the Frank port to make donations to the monks and saints, nearly doubling the price difference to the lords.
After exaggerating the matter, two more Wessex men were arrested and held on the seaside of the north coast of Frankland for a public trial.
The robber who confessed to the crime, but the Dane generously compensated the Franks twice the value of the crime, and asked the bribed monks and nobles to send a so-called letter of apology, hoping that Wessex would strictly stop this behavior.
Holding the chicken feather as her sword, Lagertha turned around and led her troops north. Lagertha had a reason to accuse, followed by Gliese and Katana's soldiers.
As the two major county chiefs in the kingdom, they assisted Otto in their actions this time. The two of them did not like this Mercian traitor who was related to Kunsang by marriage at all.
but
The "noble one" is in his hands. Some legal treasures that represent Wessex are only known to the noble.
He was on the run and hid all these things that he had no time to take away. A withered flower scepter with a flying snake head - a snake-headed stick.
It is an item used by kings to crown knights on many formal occasions, and it is now displayed in Otto's hands. Otto put on a full-body battle armor made at a high price, and even the shell of the knight's sword was inlaid with jewels.
He felt that he was also a king! He led his private soldiers to act with the two county chiefs, and he ordered them to follow his orders.
The three of them used a lot of horses to go directly from Yorkshire, through East Anglia, and finally arrived at the northeastern town of Wessex.
The distance from Lagertha's men is not too far.
"Sir, won't you bring out the noble man? Maybe with him, the defenders' legs will weaken at the sight of him." Gliese did not call himself
"Your Excellency", just use an ordinary
"My lord," Otto was dissatisfied. He shook the snake-headed stick in his hand.
"Just follow my command." He has been suppressed for too long. He has been relying on others for more than 20 years of his nearly thirty years.
In the past two years, Oran has become a powerful noble again, and his brother-in-law Kunsang has also become one of the strongest legal vassals in Northumbria.
More and more people are looking for marriage. This adventure to Ireland to find the king made him feel like he was the one in the Bible
"The Chosen One." Stupidity and ambition have the same appearance. The moment of success becomes ambition, the moment of failure turns into stupidity.
Oran kept brainwashing Otto. When the Lion-Hearted Princess dies and the king is called by the Lord, he will find a way to help the royal family.
Otto, with his "weak claim", seizes the throne and becomes the next Lionheart King. Otto knew that as long as he held the noble in his hands, he could make huge profits.
Even if he offends Oran, the worst he can do is to flee to Wessex and hand over the king to Oran's enemies! Griezer's idea is relatively simple. If he sends troops for thirty days, he can deduct the taxes paid to King's Landing this year.
Catana received the order, and if necessary... Otto wanted to seize command of the army, and when the army stopped at night, he tentatively tried to bribe Catana.
Oran and Gliese have always been allies, while Katana and Katana were enemies before. The latter is more likely to be bribed.
Illuminated by the campfire, Otto vaguely reminded Katana that he deserved more. After taking a few sips of wine, Katana pretended to be sleepy, nodded, and scolded Oran,
"There have been so many Mercian traitors recently. I don't know what your Excellency thinks of coming to Western Europe. People like Gozina are just worms in the country. But I heard that they will be more prominent than the Lord of the County in the future."
"That's right, there are too many pests around Oran and I need your help. Katana, as long as your cavalry are on my side, I have a good way to quickly expand my power..." The bonfire continued to be added. The wood, the sudden rise of fire, hint at Otto's ending, brilliant and fleeting.
……Facing the Ocean, Spring and Blossom. This is what ordinary women pursue. It is the king's prerogative to dominate everyone and take life and death.
Three days before she met the Lord of the Flying Serpents in Oran, Adisha took people from King's Landing to Otto Castle. With Delim and the warriors trained in Yewei County over the years.
She entered Otto's territory without resistance. Then on the third night, she arrested almost all the important members of the clan.
From Otto's subordinates to the businessmen who herd his sheep.
"You have conspired to subvert the kingdom and have liaisons with foreign countries. Now I give you a chance to change your ways." Adisha's beautiful appearance exudes the terrible smell of venomous snakes.
"Sir, I can't read!"
"You can't rebel if you don't know how to read. You don't know anything when you are born. You don't know how to make noises and beg for food when you are hungry. Some people have a bad stomach and are born evil." Delim kicked the chef who was complaining and leaned close to his ear. explain,
"Remember, you added rotten rat head meat to the gift you gave this castle to Your Excellency four months ago as..."
"I don't!"
"If you can't remember, then I'll take your wife to someone else's bed to help improve your memory."
"Yes, I remembered it!"
"Very good, then, you were forced. Otto wanted to poison His Highness Malm and Lord Edward..." For Oran, Otto captured the king and informed his cronies no matter how secretive it was. , Otherwise, how dare the Tibetans not hand over anyone to blackmail me? How many divisions does this guy have? Oran directly took advantage of him to lead two hundred soldiers south, and took away all his lair.
Convict all charges. As long as the king is still in England, he must show up!...... Qinghai is covered with long clouds and dark snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass in the distance.
Yellow sand can wear golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned until it is broken. This is the first Tang poem that Buluo has memorized. He doesn't understand the artistic conception, he only knows that Aku always thinks about it.
Like a ballad. After a while, Bo Luo was able to read it all. Aku was once a frontier soldier and defended the glory of the Tang Dynasty.
But now that he has become a foreigner, traveling through desolate battlefields and grasslands, facing the empire on the other side of the mountain, his mood is hard to express.
The border is too bitter and boring. Especially the Uighurs and Tubo people, who are the doormats of various powerful forces.
Bo Luo's favorite entertainment now is to drink Tang tea, add a little cow and goat milk, a large plate of meat, add some sweet fruits, and have a delicious meal.
Listening to other people's stories again, the day just goes by. A few days ago, an accident gave Broro a deeper understanding of the empire.
When they encountered a Tang cavalry patrolling the border, they almost had a conflict. Aku was not there at the time, but there were Tibetan refugee soldiers in the team who could speak Tang pronunciation.
It was an unexpected meeting that was followed by separation. But some of the cavalrymen among the Tang people started chatting and even spat.
After walking far away, Bro asked what the Tibetan men said,
"They say you look more like a barbarian than a Uighur, and your hair looks like it's been soaked in gold water."
"Is there any more?"
"It is also said that the 'Four Anxi Towns' were previously owned by the great emperors of the past. If the great emperor does not nod, the sun is not allowed to set here. People like us need permission if we want to ride horses through." Bro of the Four Towns of Anxi does not understand. , the Tang people in this area have the name Tang people, the plateau Tubo people have the name plateau, and the Uighurs have even more names.
"What's the last sentence?" Bro learned the pronunciation of the last knight and squeezed out a few words.
It was said by the knight who spat.
"It's not like me... but its mind... is different." The pronunciation of this Tibetan man was not accurate.
"There used to be two great generals, An and Shi. They captured the Grand Palace, and the people of the empire suffered a lot. Later, the people of the Tang Dynasty began to distrust foreigners less and less." This is the historical knowledge of the Tubo people. No amount of explanation can explain it. clear.
But at this moment, Bo Luo somewhat understood Aku's mood. Because of his appearance, bloodline, and exotic skin color that can be recognized at a glance, he is the same as himself in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty...
"Human!"......
"Your Excellency, we are almost close to Alfred!" Inside the carriage, Olan opened the curtain. Nandine protected Oran and asked,
"Put the sword on those who believe in it, and I hope you will think again."
"Uncle Ben is in a good mood today. Let me teach you an Eastern proverb: How can one allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?" After Olan explained, Nanding understood and continued,
"We are all English and we are better together."
"They are Saxons, the Kents are Jutes, and we in Northumbria are Angles. The so-called Anglos are the nobles, and the Angs are the masters. The Sars are just our servants. Only we can represent orthodox England. Let me teach you another sentence. A wise saying: Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts!" After hearing this, Nanding could only shut up and tighten the sword in his hand. After a while, his responsibility is to protect Oran.
