When the war horse returned to Alfred's territory carrying the body of the so-called Yinsak, the Sheriff did not dare to neglect and reported the matter to Alfred immediately.
Alfred was shocked when he learned the news. He did not expect that these Vikings were so bold. They not only sacked the bishopric but also killed their own envoys. This made Alfred regretful and should not have Yin Sa Ke was sent out as an envoy, but it was too late to regret it now.
"This is a provocation, Your Majesty. We should immediately send troops to attack the Vikings." A nobleman in charge of the battle said immediately.
"No, Your Majesty, if we attack that group of Vikings, it may give Guzlen an excuse to break the agreement." At this time, another noble who advocated peace immediately stopped him.
The two sides soon started a heated debate in the palace. Alfred gently rubbed his forehead with his fingers. He sighed and finally gave the order to calm down the matter. Although he regretted Yinsak's talent, he could only Just bury the body properly and be done with it.
In the parish, Yinsak was wandering around bored. The good news was that he could walk freely in the Viking camp. The bad news was that a Viking warrior was following behind him. Yinsak also thought about escaping, but after a quick glance The Viking warrior had a sharp ax on his waist, but he decided not to take the risk.
"Ulf, you know Odin hates pagans." Vargas was shirtless and standing on a piece of wood. He was using an ax to remove excess twigs from the wood. He glanced at Ulf who was also busy. , said dissatisfied.
"Who knows Odin's arrangements?" Ulf lightly scratched his chin with his fingers, glanced at the dangling Yinsak, and said to Vargas with a smile.
"Damn Christians, it's like a plague." Vargas took a sip. As a devout believer in the Nordic gods, he keenly discovered that among the Norse people, people who believed in Christianity had appeared. They seemed to really Treat those baptisms as if they were real things.
Ulf pursed his lips and continued working. He forcefully kept Yinsak in order to find a gap in Yinsak that could break through the Christian faith, because he knew very well that the North people were strong. Combat power comes from belief in the Nordic gods.
However, if other beliefs erode the minds of the Norse people, then they will gradually assimilate into other civilizations, and eventually lose their own characteristics and essence. Thinking of this, Ulf couldn't help but sigh, a nation without much cultural heritage, No matter how strong his body is, he may not have much of a future.
"It's quite exciting to be able to return to my hometown. I miss the mead in East Hammar a little bit." Vargas's mood was like the summer weather. At this moment, he showed a bright smile like a child.
"Of course, the best mead." Ulf chuckled. They plundered a lot of property here. After returning to East Hamar, they will definitely be able to develop their hometown better.
"The ship is about to be completed. I hope it can support our return home." Ange also came over. In the culture of the Norse, even women are also used as labor force.
"But I'm worried. The weather in this season is always fickle." Luther said to everyone after carrying a piece of wood and throwing it into the wood pile.
"Odin bless you. If we sacrifice him correctly before setting off, we will definitely return smoothly." Vargas said with confidence.
"Isn't the blood sacrifice enough?" Ange frowned and said to Vargas unhappily.
"The requests of the gods are always unpredictable." Vargas shrugged his shoulders and replied to Ange while leaning on his axe.
"Okay, let's take a rest and eat something." Ulf straightened up. He looked into the distance and saw Yinsak standing next to several North warriors. He seemed to be looking at something. Ulf He wiped his hands curiously and walked over slowly.
The Norse warriors were sitting there, playing something called chess. This chess piece originated from Norway. It is an offensive and defensive strategy game. The chessboard represents the king and his patron saint, who will fight against each other. The attacker's 24 pieces.
The round chessboard is easy to carry and is often used by Norse warriors to entertain themselves when they are bored.
"His king is almost entering the sanctuary, you lose." Yinsak is standing by (this chapter is not finished yet!)

Watching with gusto, it was obvious that he was a master at playing this kind of board game.
"Would you like to play a game with me?" Ulf stepped forward and patted the two North warriors playing chess. The two quickly stood up to make room for Ulf.
"I'm very good at chess, Leader Ulf." Yinsak didn't refuse when he saw this, and sat down opposite Ulf. The two picked up the chess pieces and started to attack and defend.
As the chess pieces fell on the disc, there was a crisp sound, and Ulf's brows gradually wrinkled. Yinsak didn't lie. He was indeed a master at playing chess. No matter how Ulf used the chess pieces, he was still surrounded. The king of Yinsak, Yinsak always has a way to escape into the shelter.
"Tsk, it's boring." Ulf slapped his mouth, threw the chess pieces on the disc, and said with his hands on his knees.
"You did a good job, Chief Ulf." Yinsak smiled. He won a glass of wine and drank it without ceremony.
"How does it compare with your king?" Ulf looked up at Yinsak, raised the corners of his mouth, and asked Yinsak.
"His Majesty Alfred is a master of board chess." Yinsak frowned, put down his wine glass and said calmly.
Because Ulf faked his death and forced himself to stay among the Vikings, Yinsak was actually very unhappy inside, but he also knew that for the sake of his own life, he had to obey Ulf , I just hope that the other party will find that I have no value and release myself.
"Did you know? Your king may be in danger." Ulf's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to Yinsak while playing with the chess pieces again.
"How do you say that?" Yinsak was stunned for a moment, blinked and looked at Ulf.
"Lord Guzlen, you will not let Alfred go easily. Do you think he will abide by the agreement?" Ulf was not afraid to tell Yinsak this information. Anyway, he is already a dead man now.
"Have you been planning to tear up the peace agreement for a long time?" Yinsak didn't understand the meaning of Ulf's words, so he stood up excitedly.
"Norse and Unsa can never live in peace. If you still believe this, then it can only be said that as a counselor, you are too naive." Wulf rearranged the chess game and said to Insa calmly. K said.
