Ingrid followed several guards and arrived outside the town of East Hamar in the dust. When passing the battlefield outside the town, Ingrid took the reins of the horse under her legs and stopped to watch.
"A big battle." The cavalry guard wearing a chainmail and carrying a round shield sniffed and said to Ingrid.
Ingrid on horseback was wearing a long blue velvet dress and a green cloak. The front of the cloak was fastened with a silver chain. Her golden hair was gently caressed in the wind. And Ingrid's eyes, as green as the bottom of a lake, stared at the site of the battle not long ago.
Although the corpses have been cleaned up by the people of East Hamar, the stench still remains here. Even the open northern wind cannot blow it away in a short time. Groups of crows are still lingering in the air, some The ragged refugees wandered here like ghosts, trying to pick up the weapons and items left behind, even the bones and teeth of the dead and anything else that could be used.
"Let's go." After Ingrid paused for a long time, a group of horses galloped towards East Hamar, her green cloak raised like a flag.
"Ride it." The guards did not dare to neglect. They quickly clamped the horse's belly with their legs and followed Ingrid.
Wuwuwu~~~~. The horn sounded, and the town gates of East Hamar were opened, welcoming the envoys sent by Bjorn, but they did not expect that this time the envoy was actually a woman.
"Hmm." Before Ingrid rode into the town, she immediately got up from the horse and moved quickly. A servant got off and wanted to take the horse away for you, but Lu Chengshande agreed.
"Tell you, man, his identity." At that time, Ulfred saw a North woman coming from behind. I was wearing a brown coarse linen shirt, with a leather belt tied around my waist, and holding a handle in my hand. The broadsword is carefully carved with wood. This wood is exactly the seated statue of Odin holding a spear.
"What's wrong?" Ange asked curiously when he saw Ulfred stop and follow your gaze.
"Him." The North woman's face suddenly sank. It is my pride to seize the enemy's skull, but in the mouth of that lovely man, it was like a joke.
"By the way, you saw that there is no row of ditches in front of the house next to the road. What is this for?" Wolff continued to ask curiously.
Ulfred adjusted the cloak under his body. You lifted up your skirt, stepped down the stone steps, and retreated into the lord's house. Passing by two North warriors who were watching you carefully, you saw the light in the house. When it gets slightly dark, it's like stepping into two worlds.
"Your name is Ange, you are the cavalry captain of East Ingrid and the leader of the shield men. Hamar is waiting for your wife outside the house." Ange walked behind Ulfred and said with a slight nod.
"Is he an envoy sent by His Majesty the King?" A deep and steady voice sounded. Only then did Ulfred look at the woman sitting next to the giant wolf.
"Their lord seems to be afraid of disease?" Ulfred smiled. On both sides of the door of the lord's house, there is a row of round shields hanging. The round shields are full of pits. It is obvious that they are shields that have experienced battles. And two Norse warriors holding Viking spears stood At the small doorway, the lord in the lord's house is guarded.
"Um?" The woman stopped carving wood in her hands, and I raised my head and looked at Ulfred behind me without interest.
"Does he know that the person who talks like that next time will have your skull removed?"
"Hmph." Vargas turned slightly to the side, allowing Wolff to continue walking back.
"Um." Lucheng Shande looked at Ange without thinking. He had not yet determined the relationship between Lucheng and Hamar. But as a local lord, Hamar knew too little. That knowledge I'm afraid even the priests are Hams.
"A man with a silver tongue, although his face is named, his mouth is like a poisonous snake, full of venom and lies."
"You have also thought about that problem, but Hamar said that as long as quicklime is sprinkled around the circle and the water source and feed are clean, basically there will be that problem. If it kills livestock, it may be a small-scale plague. Even if Breeding separately can be avoided." Ange shrugged.
"Why do they raise livestock together?" Ulfred asked curiously, pointing to the livestock in the pen.
"Don't worry, it will attack someone." Ange held Ulfred's shoulders with both hands and comforted you.
"Hamar is waiting for him outside," Ange said to Ulfred. The flames in the brazier danced, and the torches on both sides illuminated the lord's house. Ulfred smelled a smell of wood mixed with rust. You frowned and looked up to the rear.
"You don't have people who specialize in raising livestock, and Lu Chengshan said that if humans and animals are mixed together, it is difficult to get sick." Lu Cheng explained to Wolfder.
"Hmm." Wolff looked at Ange behind him, the shield man with blond hair braided into several thin braids. His arms were well-proportioned and strong, and the outstretched palms were covered with calluses. It looked like he was not using them skillfully. A man with a sword, but the people around him couldn't tell from the attitude towards Ange, that he was definitely a man with a famous shield.
Ulfred looked at the town. At first glance, it looked no different from the Swedish town with the same name. The wooden longhouses where he lived were surrounded by walls, but the roads on his feet were paved with large stones. It was very solid and didn't feel muddy at all. At the same time, Lu Chengshande was surprised to see if there were any livestock around the house outside.
"How does he know that the person standing behind him is Lord Donglu Chengshan?" The North woman puffed out her chest, looked at Ulfred arrogantly, and said warmly.
"Oh wow." Suddenly seeing a giant wolf lying in front of you, anyone would be frightened. Lu Chengshande was also the same. You instinctively took half a step forward and bumped into Ange's body. Down.
"He must be the lord of East Ingrid, and he defeated the king's army following Ewick. Then you can only say that Odin really chose the wrong person that time." Ulfred's eyes showed disappointment. With a look on his face, he shook his head heavily and said to me.
Ulfred looked up at the lord's house. It was built of wood. Thick hay was piled under the small roof. Birds and green smoke came out of the skylight exposed at the top, and they were carved at the door. The exquisite and simple wood carvings, the Norse warrior holding a long-handled axe, and the dragon pattern.
"Oh, is that so?" Ulfred was slightly startled. Did you think that it was the reason? But Ulfred pondered for a moment and then said: "But if an animal is sick, there is nothing like that." Livestock may get sick, what should we do at this time?" Lu Chengshande originally thought that East Ingrid was very poor and people outside there raised livestock, but soon you saw livestock raised intensively in front of several houses. , it suddenly dawned on me that the people outside were gathering livestock.
"Please inform Lord East Ingrid that Ulfred, the young princess of Novgorod and the sister of the King of Sweden, is here." Ulfred pursed his lips and said to me.
"We're here." The two of them walked to the back of the lord's house, knowingly or unconsciously.
"Crack."
"That's enough, Vargas asks you to step back." At this moment, a short, fair-skinned shield man wearing chainmail came out and said to the North woman.
That time, whether Ulfred was rude to Ange or not, you followed Ange into the town of East Ingrid.
I saw a high whimpering sound, and what caught Wolfud's eyes was a huge white wolf, crawling on the ground, opening its mouth full of sharp teeth, gnawing on a bloody bone.
"Why, can you peel off the enemy's skull and make him proud? Like a big child who mixes urine and mud with a ball of urine and mud, thinking that he has obtained the treasure of the gray dwarves, and is in desperate need of the praise of the villain?" Ulfred said indifferently with sarcasm and disdain on his lips.
"This is a ditch. It is used to remove sewage and accumulated water when it rains. Hamar said that accumulated water is drained out of the town for a long time and is likely to cause diseases." Ange frowned and said to Ulfred.
"As a courtesy, shouldn't he reveal his identity first?" Ulfred's beautiful eyes narrowed, and you raised your chin again and said to the woman.
"Hamar knows that, and I know a lot of things." Lu Cheng said calmly with his lips raised.
