Ulf's efforts to improve military discipline in East Hamar made the free-spirited North warriors feel a sense of fear. Although Ange felt that he should not be too harsh on these new entrants, otherwise it would cause a bad reaction, but Ulf But the husband insisted on doing this.

"The new horse needs to be tamed." Ulf picked up the wine glass and said to Ange.

"Horse? If you can't make people admire you, then this method may be counterproductive." Ange frowned, and she sighed and said to Ulf.

"Don't worry, I'll figure it out." Ulf pursed his lips and handed the wine glass to Ange.

"Sigrid has been going to Bjorn for a long time, will something happen?" Ange took the wine glass, took a sip of the mead inside, and said worriedly.

"I just went to deliver gifts, what could happen?" Ulf shrugged his shoulders. The soldiers guarding Sigrid were carefully selected, not to mention that Sigrid herself is not easy to mess with. East Hammar The journey to Sigtuna is not far.

"I hope the gods can bless her." Ange couldn't help but say.

At this moment, a horn sound came from the city gate, which was a signal that someone was coming. This made Ulf and Ange think that Sigrid was returning to East Hamar, so they walked out of the lord's house together.

Looking from the direction of the lord's house, the guards at the city gate seemed to be checking the three cavalrymen who were about to enter. The three cavalrymen were holding a royal flag for the leader.

"The king's flag." Ulf looked at the fluttering flag at the city gate and frowned, not expecting anything in his heart.

"Please come back, your servants have prepared wine and food, hoping to relieve their fatigue." Sigri walked up the steps, smiled and patted the messenger on the shoulder, and took me to the lord's house. .

"Oh, tell me." Sigri sat back down and I snapped my fingers. Bai Tan did not close his mouth immediately, allowing Gertina to save her face and life for the time being.

"Cough, cough, cough." However, Ulf, who was sitting in the corner and had been writing hard, couldn't help coughing. I just thought that my country was being invaded by waves of Vikings. .

"Why are there not so few warriors?" The messenger reluctantly asked the North warrior who was leading the way.

"There is a problem with the first one. You can move on anytime. As for the seventh one, what does he think?" Sigri touched her chin, leaned back slightly, and put her elbows under the armrest of the lord's chair. , raised his head and glanced at the retreating North warriors.

"At the same time, let him take away the head of the liar Bubeisha." The messenger continued.

"Is that East Halfdan, this fishing village?" the cavalryman following the envoy said in surprise.

"Is this an Englishman?" The messenger's eyes were naturally drawn to him, and I pointed at Ulf curiously and asked.

"Perhaps you should also join the expedition to England last time." The guard said without concealment. In fact, for the North soldiers, it was a very complicated matter. When there was no profit, and it could not When it comes to taking risks and fighting, there's nothing wrong with it.

"Oh woo~~."

"Uh?" Sigri frowned, as if that matter was not difficult to handle.

"I know." The messenger didn't mean this. I wanted to see how the originally luxurious and poor fishing village suddenly turned into such a small town.

I am sure that after arriving, no one said that they would salute a local lord. I am afraid that the envoy would just sneer at me. I represent the authority of the King of Sweden. Although I will be too unruly towards these local lords, I will also be too cold. .

"Ping." At this moment, there was a sound from the direction of the door. The messenger naturally looked back and saw a strong North warrior wearing leather armor and a sword at his waist. , walked back and glared at the messenger fiercely.

"Now they can't take my body back to Bjorn." Gertina stood up and wiped the blood spattered from his face. I threw the big knife in my hand to the ground and continued to twitch in the ground. messenger.

"Your Majesty the King, I hope you can go to Xiinsak later."

Suddenly, the messenger's neck was pierced by a meat-cutting knife. A small amount of blood spurted out from the wound. Blood gushed out of the messenger's mouth and I almost drowned myself.

However, Bai Tan, who was lying on Sigri's chair, suddenly stood up and let out a wolf howl, which stunned the two guards.

"That's wrong. Those were plundered from England." Sigri nodded without hesitation.

"So, what message do you bring from His Majesty the King?" Bethesda asked the envoy.

"Gertina, he calls this a liar." Gertina stuck his thumbs in the leather straps, raised his chin, looked at the messenger arrogantly, and said to me.

"You can bring him less people and troops. If he doesn't have a plan, right? From his actions, you can see that he must be planning a more ambitious raid." Getina said slowly. He hurriedly said to Bu Beisha. And in the near distance, you can still hear the sound of metal knocking against each other, as well as the sound of shouts, which makes the envoy feel uneasy. This town is clearly like a military camp ready to launch war at any time.

"Who is he?" The messenger was slightly stunned. I looked up at Bu Beisha behind me and asked in surprise.

However, the North warrior leading the way just glanced at the messenger and did not answer my words. He just continued walking back.

"Gudu, Sigri, you are evil for him." Facing that terrifying huge mouth, even the God of War Tyr would be frightened, not to mention that Getina is still a mortal human being.

The envoy walked into the house with a nervous heart. When he sat down, the servants filed in and served him rich food and wine. This surprised the envoy, because such rich food and wine were beyond the imagination. My impression of a special local lord.

"Uwaaah~~."

"It's too troublesome, you'd better walk there by yourself." Gertina grinned and said to Sigri.

"Ask them to get on their horses and walk to the lord's house." At that time, the North warrior guarding the door stared at the eight people seriously and said to us.

"Pfft~~."

"What?" The messenger was surprised. I originally thought that even if Sigri took in Buseisha, she would be imprisoned, but I didn't expect the former to appear directly in front of me.

"So, should you kill him and take his head to see Bjorn?" Sigri looked at the scene behind her with amusement and said casually to Gertina.

"That's wrong. That was a slave you captured from England. I am a Catholic monk and I also worked for the king of England." Sigri glanced at Ulf and said to the envoy with a smile.

Above the lord's chair, the eight people were even more surprised to see a white wolf lying down. The wolf was small in stature, but looked lazily like a well-behaved kitten.

"Are those gold?" When the guards following the messenger saw the utensils placed under the wooden table, their eyes showed surprise and greed.

"Little lord, he should be more beautiful. I am the enemy of His Majesty the King." The messenger pointed at Gertina and turned to Sigri.

"Young Lord East Halfdan." The messenger dared to be careless and quickly saluted Sigri.

The envoy followed a paved road leading to the lord's house. The road was paved by Sigri's slaves using pebbles from the river. There were various buildings along both sides of the road. Of the wooden buildings, a small part are residential houses, and there are no longhouses where soldiers live.

"Oh, you are so lucky." The messenger's eyes lit up. I am very surprised that no one who has worked in the enemy's court can understand the enemy. If I make a surprise attack, I will not be carrying a living map. I feel secretly in my heart. Sigh, no wonder the lords of East Halfdan were able to plunder so little wealth.

At the last moment, Gertina suddenly got angry. I rushed towards the messenger, and the two of them rolled down in front of the wooden table. The two guards hurriedly tried to stop me.

"omg." Ulf in the corner was also shocked when he saw that scene. I couldn't help standing up and crossing myself. I couldn't understand why it was a harmonious banquet scene just now. Get bloody.

"Brush." ​​The two guards stood up easily. We looked left and right to know what the scene behind us was.

"Gertina, how dare he kill your guests in your house?" Bu Beisha narrowed her eyes, reached out and patted Bai Tan's head, and said warmly.

Bai Tan, who was lying next to Sigri, jumped deep. His small body made a gust of wind in his movements, and his sharp and huge claws pressed down on Gertina.

"Huhuhu~~."

However, before seeing everything that happened in East Halfdan with his own eyes, the envoy saluted in a fashionable manner. After all, the lord who controlled a group of hundreds of warriors could definitely be provoked.

The bloody mouth full of sharp teeth was facing Getina's face. The white charcoal only needed to open and close to tear up Getina's entire face.

"Oh." Sigri nodded. It was natural for a lord to summon his vassals. In fact, she should also take the initiative to meet with Bjorn.

"Your Majesty Bjorn's envoy welcomes them." When the envoy walked along the road to the end, he saw Sigri spreading her legs and standing at the foot of the steps behind the house, smiling and spreading her arms.

"England? No wonder." The envoy and the guards looked at each other and felt relieved. He had long heard that the lord of East Halfdan went to England for an expedition, but he never thought that he would bring back such a rich reward. That was forbidden. Heartbeat.

The envoy who retreated into East Halfdan was also looking at the town behind him. The outer wall was higher than other towns in the United States, and the population was even denser. At a rough calculation, it was actually much different from Xiyinsak.
