"It's raining! The Lord protects us, children, don't be afraid, the waves will pass soon, and the sky will clear up after the rain!"
The priest held the cross and chanted the holy name.
But the dark clouds gathered again after the rain,
This small town in the Anshan Mountains is filled with panic.
Vikings carrying crosses came from the north. Legend has it that they would kill anything larger than a wheel.
Even more terrifying than Ragnar back then.
The mud under the feet of every soldier is human flesh and blood being trampled to pieces.
On this day, people in the small town endured a difficult morning.
It was not until evening that they dared to slowly light a little fire with licorice and animal fat in their respective huts.
Winter came, but they could not collect any kind of wood because of the plain forests surrounding the valley,
All have changed owners.
There was only a little bit of dry and hard food in the cold boiler.
Wanting to drink a bowl of hot porridge is a luxury.
"Sleep, child. There is everything in the dream, including milk, cake, and honey. The red candy is so sweet that it will make your teeth fall out."
Parents comfort their children.
But when most people were about to approach sleep, some of the people responsible for guarding the outer gate rebelled.
Then the warrior shouted excitedly, shattering everyone's courage,
They all picked up wooden forks and short sticks.
But the homeland has been swept away by dark forces that cannot be driven away.
The villagers who let the enemy in were greeted with hot vegetable soup and soft pancakes.
These people are so hungry that they are willing to convert.
What's more, is there any difference between the New Testament spoken by the Vikings and the Old Testament spoken by His Majesty the Flying Serpent?
Aren’t they all the Lord’s people?
Whoever can feed himself now is his own god!
The last thing to be surrounded was the village church made of wood and stone.
The old priest inside looked at the light lit by the large number of torches, shed tears, and collapsed on the ground. With the help of his servants, he plucked up the courage to walk out.
Warriors like wolves and tigers surround this place.
Their swords were kindly aimed at the priest, but they made no move;
Soon after, some people began to snatch property and gather young farm girls.
"Don't be impulsive, Father. You are a man of culture and are protected. We are all believers in the Lord. As long as we don't resist, we can survive."
The soldiers killed brutally while pretending to be kind.
The priest rushed into the church, dug out the only thick hand-written Bible, and then ran out.
The voice was heavy and his eyes opened as wide as possible, but none of the intruders were frightened.
The Bible was opened, and the priest said, "The Lord knows all this. You are sinners from generation to generation, and after death you will go to the most terrible hell, Hades."
"Father, save your saliva and go get some food. Look at the apprentices behind you who have peed their pants. If you anger my soldiers, you will kill them."
The speaker was Bewuk.
He walked up to the priest, snorted, and then gestured to an apprentice,
The apprentice rolled up to Beiwuk, with anger hidden in his frightened eyes.
But he didn't dare to talk back or make any move. He just squeezed the cross in his palm until his fingers became red.
"Your priest is tired. Go and give the order. Anyone who dares to resist will die. I want to see peaceful villages and towns before tomorrow."
Villagers hiding in various parts of the church were captured.
Some people are so scared that they even go crazy.
The Lord is gone and the Flying Snake King is powerless. Devils are everywhere!
Beiwuk regarded these shouts as entertainment,
After settling down, he walked to the top of the church and looked towards the balcony.
It feels good when one controls power, has wealth, and then drives others to wield weapons.
In the morning, Beiwuk went to have dinner with the priest. When he saw the priest holding the old Bible, he was still saying:
could not fully read Latin, warned him,
"This is a heretical scripture. Heretics are more terrifying than heretics. What can you do with this book? Only by believing in Protestantism and becoming a Protestant can you learn forgiveness and justice."
The priest continued to read, "The wrath of God will come to the world at any time. Anyone who abandons God and betrays faith will surely..."
Beiwuk actually doesn't believe in Oran's new covenant, but Oran is about to establish a kingdom.
It is rumored that the new steward's requirement is to read through the New Testament.
Even if you want to hold an important position in the Knights Hospitaller, this is also a necessary condition.
Beiwuk placed a plate of dishes in front of the priest, "I bring peace and prosperity to you, and I can maintain your dignity. Last night there was a stench of blood and fire,
Today there is peace. My name is Beiwu Ke. I respect all literate people.
As long as you are willing to take refuge in me, I can build a bigger and better church for you..."
…
A similar thing happened in another flying snake town that had just been conquered.
The message received by Shrike's men was that whoever converted the Old Testament believers better would be the military commander of the kingdom.
In a three-story church, fifteen monks and soldiers who resisted White Eagle were all forced to put on new clothes.
Then the shrike asked someone to bring out the holy water and recorded it in the paperwork.
Shrike took a few deep breaths and began to perform, trying to look as compassionate as possible.
How to perform mercy? He didn't understand, so he put more force on the slogan, "Stop it, we are all a family, Lord, save these lambs, I am willing to use my ten years of life to wash away their stupidity and Women are cheating, I love them, I hear your grace, I will..."
After Shrike finished speaking, applause continued. He has been more restrained recently.
This village and town was not looted;
The defeated warriors and monks saw his shamelessness and cunning,
But there was nothing he could do. The silver sword was dangling, and he would not be resurrected in seven days, so he had no choice but to change his faith in the Old Testament.
Nothing can resist power and threats, not even faith, Shrike is very satisfied!
When the Flying Snake side spread the word that they wanted to burn Edward to death, they finally slowed down the White Eagle side's offensive.
But the bad news comes again.
The Eagle Lord proposed a new political honorary title - "Jiuxi".
The Germanic ancestors were culturally backward and the palace system did not develop.
After Oran annexed Mercia, it was merged into Northumbria.
Then it became a grand ducal district, with the title "Duke of England".
The capital is King's Landing.
As the most important de jure title of Grand Duke in the future Kingdom of England.
Under the threat of Archbishop Ulf, the little king pretended to have a dream about God's revelation.
After waking up, he announced that he would reward Olan with nine items and praised him for his great contribution to the country.
These nine things are--
Chariot and horses: It is a golden chariot and a large chariot with eight white horses.
Clothes: Full formal dress, hat and shoes, dyed with crosses and white eagles.
Musical Instruments: Ancient harp passed down by King Offa of Mercia (rumored to have been a gift from Charlemagne).
Purple Bell: A big time-telling clock painted with purple paint. The sound of striking can be heard by everyone.
Stairs: Placed in the middle of the outside of the Royal Hall of King's Landing. Only those who can go up to the palace to discuss state affairs can step on them.
Guards: All the powerful Unsa warriors in the kingdom are sent by Oran.
Bow and Arrow: Special red and black bows and arrows, used to shoot criminal nobles.
Ax: a yellow ax, symbolizing power, used to supervise the king's behavior.
Priest: During the prostrations, only Olan can burn incense and lead everyone to worship the gods.
After the news came out, Olan changed his name to His Highness.
Archbishop Ulf began to publicize again, digging out auspiciousness wherever he could.
For example, in a certain town, a sow gave birth to a hundred cubs at one time. This must be due to the benevolence of the state.
Or an old man who has lived for two hundred years appears in a certain town and shouts that Oran is the Lord of England.
Letters wishing Oran to ascend the throne and lead England came like snowflakes.
Oran's response was, "How can I take on such a big responsibility? The country should be led by better people."
Oran even brought his wife's uncle up and said that he would make Gliese the king.
This scared Gliese to his core.
The ministers once again came forward to persuade him to proceed.
