The Earl of East Friesland explained to Ulf that he did not like the current comfortable life. He was also disappointed with the Dutch Jarre and only gave him a swamp as his territory. Of course, Ulf expressed reservations about this sentence. , although East Friesland has many swamps, it is not a barren land. Once the three baronies are built, they will also be very wealthy.
"What's more, you are the one Iron Bone Bjorn likes. He can't be wrong." The Earl of East Friesland said to Ulf.
Ulf was a little surprised, but he did not expect that the Earl of East Friesland was still a die-hard fan. The longship brought the captured Earl of East Friesland back to Haarlem Castle.
"Now the old rulers of the Netherlands have gathered together." Vargas said sarcastically as he looked at the Duchess, Waldhel and the Earl of East Friesland who met each other.
"This is God's will." The duchess said calmly, but she was still shocked inside. She did not expect that the most powerful Earl of East Friesland was not Ulf's opponent, and now he was caught. in front of.
"Then, Lord Ulf, do you also want to take away my title?" The Earl of East Friesland glanced at Waldhel, who was standing aside, and asked Ulf.
"No, I will not deprive you of your title." Ulf shook his head. Even if he was deprived of the title of Earl of East Friesland, he would not be able to control the entire East Friesland County at this time. Since East Friesland The earl had the intention of being loyal to Ulf, so he was prepared to agree.
"Ulf, I don't agree. What if he betrays us?" But suddenly Ange objected. In her opinion, people like the Earl of East Friesland have no credibility.
"I will swear this in the name of the God I believe in." The Earl of East Friesland immediately said to Ulf and Ange.
"No, you must swear in the name of Frigga." But Ulf shook his head slightly. He had heard the family slogan of the Earl of East Friesland. Even if he converted to Catholicism, he still believed in the Nordic god Frigga. Deep into the soul.
"Okay!" The Earl of East Friesland hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Also, your army must be reorganized into my army, and they will follow us to Britain." Ulf then said to the Earl of East Friesland.
"What?" The Earl of East Friesland frowned. Without an army, it meant that he could not protect himself and had no ability to betray Ulf.
But after thinking for a moment, the earl agreed to Ulf's conditions. He agreed to hand over the command of his army to Ulf, in order to take himself to Britain and participate in the war of conquest there.
"You will regret trusting the wrong person." But Ange watched all this with keen eyes. When Ulf was about to leave, she grabbed him and reminded him.
"I don't trust him, but I'm tired of fighting the Norse, and I'm eager to go to Britain as soon as possible to fight the Unsa there." Ulf said to Ange calmly.
He did not believe a word of what the Earl of East Friesland said, but in order to calm the Netherlands as soon as possible, he gathered the resources here and set out on a journey to conquer Britain.
"Then what are you going to do, bringing such a fox with you?" Ange looked solemn, and she said to Ulf worriedly.
"You will be with me. I am relieved as long as I leave my back to you." Ulf smiled and said to Ange. As the adopted daughter of the hunter Thorle, Ange's fighting qualities and alertness have always been He is the tallest among them, but Ulf did not realize that his words contained other meanings in the context of the Norse.
"Yeah!" Ange's pretty face turned a little rose red, but Ulf didn't notice it at this time.
Witnessed by the Dutch duchess and many courtiers, the Earl of East Friesland swore allegiance to Ulf in the name of the Christian God and Frigga at the same time. Of course, it is rare for one earl to pledge allegiance to another earl. , so Ulf stood beside the duchess, so that it seemed that the Earl of East Friesland was swearing allegiance to the duchess and Ulf at the same time, and there seemed to be no legal problem.
"Very well, Earl of East Friesland, I will invite your family here as a guest." Ulf said to him after watching the Earl of East Friesland take the oath of allegiance.
"Invite my family?" The Earl of East Friesland was stunned, but he soon understood that Ulf was going to use his family as hostages. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he did not dare not to do it.
"Yes." Ulf stood next to the duchess. His eyes swept across the lord's hall. Waldheer, who had been stripped of his title, the Earl of East Friesland who had just sworn allegiance, and many courtiers, they It's hard to tell who is loyal and who is traitorous, but it doesn't matter to Ulf, because he knows that as long as the conditions for betrayal are not met, these people will not make trouble.
"As the regent of the Dutch Principality, I order the vassals and troops of the entire principality to be mobilized to gather under Hamler Castle and prepare to board the ship to follow us to Britain to complete the mission of the great legendary warrior Bjorn Ironbone." Ulf spread his legs and turned his back to the window behind him. The sun shone on him casually, and Ulf's voice echoed in the hall.
"What, general mobilization?" The courtiers were all shocked. They were already dissatisfied with Northmen like Ulf occupying the principality, but now they actually wanted to lead them to Britain.
"Yes, the male courtiers will participate in the battle as warriors and counselors, and the female courtiers will help us in the logistics." Ulf ordered everyone in a voice that was unquestionable.
Looking at Ulf's resolute expression, the courtiers knew that they were completely controlled by Ulf. If they didn't agree now, then the shriveled corpse outside the castle would be their example.
"Dittwin, you will immediately lead the Eagle Group to collect food supplies." Ulf handed over the task of searching the people to the Eagle Group. Normally, this kind of task would of course be handed over to the Japanese Army.
"Yes." A smile appeared on the corner of Ditwin's mouth. In the medieval world without the concept of family and country, they did not have much national consciousness. They were even secretly glad to receive such a task. Anyway, during the expropriation, they could plunder a lot of things. time, and Ditwin's secretly rejoicing expression did not escape Ulf's gaze.
Just as Ulf began to prepare to go to Britain, Isaac, who was staying in the Kingdom of Cornwall, was sweating profusely. His expression was dignified and solemn, as if he was facing the most difficult problem in the world.
"Uh uh uh uh~~, plop."
"Ah~~." Isaac's face twisted for a while, and then he seemed to feel much more relaxed. He breathed a long sigh of relief, and then wiped the sweat on his forehead with his linen sleeve, and then he looked He glanced at the straw rope hanging from the ceiling next to him and frowned. The lower section had been used by others and had turned yellow and black. Isaac had no choice but to pick up the top end of the straw rope and put it between the two strands, and fiercely With a little friction, he wiped his anus clean, and left the dirty castle public toilet without looking back, avoiding the smelly and bottomless pit, which was said to lead directly to the castle's crypt.
"God, I would rather shit in the wild than in the castle." Isaac opened the dilapidated wooden door with difficulty and walked out. At this time, sweet music came from the corridor and people's laughter filled the hall. echoed in.
Isaac walked to the colonnade and glanced at the King of Cornwall, who was holding a banquet, and his wife, His Royal Highness Princess Roderick, who was sitting next to him.
"Uh!" Princess Roderick seemed to have noticed Isaac next to the pillar. She frowned slightly, pretended to pick up a glass of wine, took a sip, and then stood up and left the banquet, while Cornwall The King of Er was having a lively conversation with another socialite and did not notice that his wife had left.
"Your Highness." Isaac leaned against the pillar. Princess Roderick pretended to be standing next to the pillar. She seemed to be interested in a bunch of roses wrapped around the pillar. She reached out and held the pink rose flower and smelled it. .
"I'm all ready," Isaac said to the princess.
"Very good, then follow the plan. If it succeeds, your master will guarantee my rights, right?" Princess Roderick said to Isaac calmly.
"Don't worry, so it's true that Cornish can't swim, right?" Isaac nodded slightly, acting very sincerely, but in fact he didn't tell Alfred anything, so it didn't exist. Any commitment.
"Of course I am sure, you know? He rarely even bathes. It is said that it is because he drowned when he was a child." Princess Roderick said, but she looked at Isaac curiously, "Although I told you these things, you What are you going to do? You must know that Cornwall is surrounded by many guards, and he will not approach the lake easily."
"I have made arrangements. Whatever happens next, you can just do it as usual." Isaac whispered, and after finishing speaking, he left quietly. Princess Roderick looked at him thoughtfully. From his back, this ugly monk seems confident that he can help him get rid of the King of Cornwall.
"Hiss~~." Suddenly, Princess Roderick felt a pain in her finger. She lowered her head and saw that her finger was pricked by a rose thorn at some point, and bright red blood flowed out.
Isaac walked out of the castle and came to the town outside the castle. Compared with the clean castle, it looked muddy and dirty, but two-story wooden houses stood on both sides, and women's clotheslines were hung high. Colorful clothes were hung on it, and occasionally water dripped down.
"Well, this is it." Isaac walked through the muddy street and walked into the dark alley. There seemed to be men coming in and out, with tired satisfaction on their faces.
Isaac stepped into these wooden houses that seemed to be built haphazardly. As he passed by, there was the sound of creaking wooden beds shaking. He was not surprised, because this was where men were looking for spiritual exhaustion. A place of harbor and a place where women who did not want to become farm wives could find work.
"Ah~~." Issek stepped into one of the dilapidated wooden doors that was ajar. This was a dilapidated house with two floors of attic. There was a creaking sound above his head, and the cracks in the floor fell due to violent movement. Out of the dust.
Isaac raised his legs and climbed up the wooden ladder. On it, he saw only an old dressing table and a large bed. Next to the wooden bed was a wooden basin filled with clean water.
"Bah bang bang, not bad." Isaac sat on the stool and clapped his hands as if watching a good show. The man on the bed stood up in shock.
"May God forgive you." At this time, Isaac looked at the man in front of him seriously. He stretched out his hand and made the sign of the cross in front of him.
"I, I only come here once in a while." The man looked at the monk in front of him, put on his clothes in fear, and ran away.
"Hey, you haven't paid me yet." The woman angrily grabbed the things around her and threw them away, but the man had already escaped. At this time, the woman looked at Isaac angrily, "You must compensate him for his money. .”
"I know." Isaac looked at the beautiful woman in front of him. She had soft, slightly curly long brown hair, blue eyes as clear as lake water, long eyelashes flashing, and a white body full of youth. vitality.

"What do you want from me?" The woman stood up and put her clothes on her body. She obviously knew Isaac, so she asked curiously.
"It's a very important thing. I want you to help me." Isaac said to the woman.
"Oh, how much?" The woman looked at Isaac with interest, a smile appeared on her lips, she sat on the edge of the bed and crossed her legs, asking Isaac seductively.
"Yes." Isaac took a deep breath and recited Hail Mary silently a hundred times. Only then did he stabilize his mind and focus on business. It was obvious that he was familiar with the nature of women, so he continued He took out a money bag from his arms and took out several coins.
"So little?" The woman frowned. The money Isaac took out was not enough for one of her guests.
"This is yours." But Isaac put the coins he took out into his arms and threw the money bag to the woman.
"So much?" There was a look of greed in the woman's eyes. The money was enough to buy a house anywhere in Cornwall.
"Yes, if the matter is completed, you will get so much money again." Isaac said to the woman calmly.
"Oh, what is it?" The woman hesitated at this time. Years of hard life made her understand that there is no free lunch in this world, nor are there any suddenly generous guests.
"I will tell you." Isaac nodded slightly. He would tell the woman his plan, but of course he would only tell her a small part.
