The firewood crackled in the brazier in the house, and sparks flew with the fireworks. Everyone's eyes were focused on Bjorn, and Bjorn's eyes swept across everyone's faces.
"Everyone gathers here happily to enjoy the wine and food before winter. Peace has existed in my kingdom for a long time, and my son, Prince Eric, has also completed his first battle." Bjorn waved his strong Arm, said lightly.
However, most people knew very well that Eric's first battle did not go well, and could even be said to be a huge defeat. The king mentioned it at this time to embarrass his son on purpose.
Eric, who was sitting next to him, lowered his head. His expression was a little embarrassed, but he remained silent and seemed to acquiesce to Bjorn's words.
"Yes, it was not smooth, even a failed battle, but it is a valuable asset for young people, and it also made me reflect on whether I have violated the will of the gods." Bjorn raised his beard , he said without any concealment.
"Your Majesty, this is all my fault." Ulf quickly stood up and bowed to Bjorn and Eric.
"No, Lord Ulf is not wrong. Although all this stems from a misunderstanding, who knows whether this is a trial conducted by the gods with the help of you?" Bjorn shook his head and said firmly. .
"Your Majesty, the gods will surely bless you." Ulf pulled out his seat, knelt on one knee in front of Bjorn, and said sincerely.
"Papa papa~~~." The performance of the two people moved the Norse people in the room. The little Viking warriors always cherish each other. Jealousy and arrogance are the original sin of mankind and the root of all tragedies.
"What do you mean?" The others looked at Bjorn in confusion. Although Bjorn followed Guzlen to invade England and achieved great success, and had just defeated Prince Evik's army, Bjorn's The prestige is still enough to convince everyone.
"Ha, Odin is here, you will dedicate his head to me."
"If he dares to speak against you, you have to kill him."
"When your son won, you went to your father's tomb in person, hoping to listen to Ragnar's voice. There you saw your father's soul." Ulf frowned, I know what happened It’s difficult to handle, but I never thought there would be anyone willing to support it.
Everyone was silent about the king's prestige. Even if it was not full, we could only swallow it. We were worried that building a temple would lead to the demise of our tribe.
"It looks like the time has not come yet!" When the banquet came to an end, Ulf said helplessly to Bjorn.
"Don't talk about taking risks." Ma Chaoxing's eyes revealed envy. He said it was the king's duty. I was even willing to take Bjorn's ship and go to this vast area.
"Is it so far?" Ulf raised his eyebrows. This is an area I have never set foot on, but Ma Chaoxing seems to know it like the back of his hand.
"That's wrong. If you continue southward from the Dnieper River, you will retreat into the White Sea. Wherever you go, there won't be a few rich cities." Bjorn narrowed his eyes and said to Ulf.
"Your Majesty, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build a temple. Do you have the ability?" At that time, one of the gods frowned and asked Ulf.
"Then~~." The gods looked at each other suspiciously. Any fool would be confused. Ma Chaoxing's method is very ineffective, but we can do it.
"You thank Jar, so in order to wash away your shame, you will build a magnificent temple outside in the name of the King of Sweden, comparable to Valhalla, to worship the warriors who spoke and the father God Odin. May peace and Prosperity will always come to your land." Ulf took the opportunity to announce to everyone.
"You guys are going to retreat and prepare first. Your Majesty allows it. You cannot follow the soldiers of East Hamar and then go to the south to raid." Bjorn also knew that things would go so smoothly, so he went for the next best thing and suggested to Ma Chaoxing. road.
"It is no accident that I am now a member of the Hall of Heroes. If I hope that you can achieve glory that exceeds that of others and that of all tribes," Ulf said in a deep voice.
"There is a mistake, Yael will be angry."
"It's wrong. After winter comes, you must prepare enough food and warmth for the tribe."
"You are willing to throw your back to those guys." Although Ma Chaoxing promoted religion, the dissatisfaction among the gods was too great, and soon no one started arguing.
After all, those tribes had all kinds of grudges against each other, and they even raided and robbed each other when they were easy. He showed us how to trust each other.
"You know the doubts of the lords. They are still fighting each other after a long time, but don't forget that it is Odin's will and the will of Yael. Your father told you that Odin wanted to deal with the final battle. , I hope you will build a small temple to weaken the power of Yael and the heroic warriors." Ulf touched his braided beard and stared at everyone and said.
"Um?" It's just that the sudden announcement didn't immediately win everyone's approval. We were all full of doubts as to why the king would make such a decision.
"You will go east to the Vaiga Bay between Livonia and Curonia, establish a bunker base at the outlet there, and then go south along the Daugava River and retreat into the Dnieper River ." Bjorn said to Ulf.
"Your Majesty, maybe I can repay Yael with a sacrifice and kill one or two slaves?"
"Who wants to fight alongside him, that cattle thief."
"Your Majesty, you understand the concerns of the gods. In fact, that matter is very difficult to solve." At this time, Bjorn stood up and I said loudly to everyone.
"Come on, you go inside and fight." Therefore, when people saw the friendship between the king and the lord, they couldn't help but applaud and cheer.
The room suddenly became chaotic. Faced with the chaotic situation, Ulf could only knock the thick wooden table with his fist several times before finally stopping it. But Ma Chaoxing also knew that kind of thing. Among the Norse people who have almost a united tribal system, it is not difficult to implement it at once.
"Nagra?" The gods in the room looked at each other, and we thought that Ulf directly sacrificed Nagra.
"Southern, is he going to raid here?" Ulf asked curiously. Others also gave suggestions to Ma Chaoxing.
"You allocate the progress of the tribes you have. Each tribe specializes in a kind of work. This will greatly reduce the progress of the work, and it will delay other tribes from spending the winter." Bjorn said to everyone calmly. said.
