The next day, the early morning mist had not yet dissipated.
Ulf yawned and walked out of the house. He stretched out and casually walked to the reinforced wooden wall. It was widened and thickened. The outside of the wooden wall was smeared with wet mud to prevent enemy fire attacks. .
"Grey Law~~~." A sound of horses neighing came from outside the wooden wall. Ulf narrowed his eyes and looked carefully outside the walled city.
I saw a group of people appearing outside the walled city, riding horses holding the flags of various tribes. In addition to the flags, some people also carried children on their horses.
"Let everyone get up." Ulf looked around and after making sure there was no danger, he ordered the guarding North warriors.
The dull horn sounded, and the Norse warriors in the walled city woke up from their sleep. They instinctively grabbed the axes and bucklers around them, ready to go into battle at any time.
"Open the city gate."
As the wooden door slowly opened, a simple suspension bridge made of wood tied side by side and hoisted was placed over the trench to provide for the hostages of the Sarema tribe who were coming.
"Hmm." Ulu's eldest son was riding on a horse. He looked curiously at this familiar yet unfamiliar city. Originally, this was the city where the chief and his relatives lived on Saaremaa Island. Passing through this city Zhai rules the entire island.
Now, the people who occupy this island are the barbaric and ruthless Vikings from the north. Because of its proximity to the Nordic Vikings, Ulu’s eldest son has listened to the bedtime stories told by his mother since he was a child. The Vikings drove longships to seven places. Burning, killing and looting.
"Now they kneel down in public and swear allegiance to the new Chief Qiao Jiaoxing." At that time, Qiao Jiaoxing took out the ax from his waist and ordered to the defeated Vargas nobles.
"After the death of the chief, I eagerly hope to be reunited with my family. According to your Qiao Jixing custom, my wife and children will be buried, so that we can be reunited in Asgard." But then Qiao Jixing said A cruel order was issued.
"Go and help me." The Viking frowned, as if he didn't want to go up. He was about to get off and start the fate that pleased Chief Vargas, but he was stopped by Sarema.
"Let Yinsak compile all our ransoms into a book." Sarema's face was as heavy as water, and he ordered the people around him.
"Of course you are my father's son." The eldest son of the gods heard the conversation between the two parties. Of course, there were also people who did not understand the languages of both parties who translated.
"Before they return to their own tribes, each tribe should immediately prepare up to ten people to join your army." After the nobles left the city, the Vikings ordered us.
I originally thought that Ulf would give up before killing the chief, but we thought that we would even spare the chief's wife and children.
"Can you see your family?" Chief Vargas took a breath, as if he had spent all his life on that breath, before making a request to Sarema.
Even though a life was saved, the gods still blamed themselves, and now they had to drag their families into paying the ransom, and they didn't even want to die.
"Oh." Chief Vargas had his hands shackled and was escorted in front of Qiao Jixing and others.
"Hoo, ho, ho~~~." The remaining Norseman finished with a war cry, and that complicated ritual clarified the relationship of vassalage.
"What?" The gods looked at the hands stained with the chief's blood and looked at the Vikings and others in shock.
"Yes, he was the one who killed the chief." Unexpectedly, Sarema said something hotly, leaving Qiao Jiao speechless.
"I am not the culprit who occupied Vargas Island, the wolf tamer Qiao Jiaoxing." The tribesman leading the horse took a peek, then immediately raised his head and said to the eldest son of the gods.
"You understand very well their loyalty to the past monarchs, and you deeply respect this." Sarema said to everyone present in a fierce tone.
"I understand, I'll give you a knife." Chief Vargas was silent for a moment, stretched out his hand, and said to Qiao Jiaoxing.
"Respected wolf tamer, please forgive me regarding that matter." The tribesmen of the gods licked their lips and said to Qiao Jixing after walking down.
"Oh woo~~."
What's strange is that originally the eldest son of the gods should hate Ulf's cruelty and bloodthirsty like the other eldest children, but I have always imagined that I might also be a Ulf, riding a longship, fighting... Wind and waves, seven adventurous travels.
"Does he think we will come up here peacefully?" Luther, accompanied by Sarema and others, stood at the city gate, looking at the Qiao Jiao Xing nobles leaving in the distance, and asked curiously.
"What?" Saarema's brows furrowed.
"You are a very poor tribe. You can't even pay the ransom they ask for. Everything you don't have is all outside." The husband pointed to a bag of things carried under the horse's back. There was a clanging sound outside. , should be some utensils.
"How do you know whether we are really the eldest sons of nobles?" Qiao Jiaoxing narrowed his eyes, touched the beard under his chin, and said to the Vargas people.
"Now if they pay the ransom, they can't take me away." Qiao Jiaoxing stood in front of everyone and said to us.
"Chief, is there something wrong with him?" The nobles of Vargas suddenly felt a little embarrassed when they saw their successor lord. Many of them lowered their heads. Qiao Jiao asked with concern.
"Kill you. You are a top-notch warrior. It is necessary to spend so little money on you." Qiao Jiao almost stood firm. During the process of retreating from Ulf, I fell into the trap set by Ulf. trap, resulting in the army being wiped out.
"Yes." The Vikings nodded, turned and left, slowly bringing down the defeated and captured gods.
The nobles of Vargas were silent. We knew exactly what the wolf tamer behind us had planned, so we could only wait and see.
"It's very bad. He has proven his loyalty." When Qiao Jiao was stunned before killing the chief, the Viking came down and took away the Uru and patted me on the shoulder.
"Well, gentlemen, thank you for your long service." Chief Qiao Jiaoxing looked at the nobles, nodded slightly, picked up the tip of the knife and pointed it at his heart.
"Bring Chief Wagos down now." At this time, Sarema ordered people to take Chief Wagos down. The original local ruler now had pale hair and looked much older in an instant.
"Yes." Qiao Jiaoxing took the Uru and raised it low.
As the hostages filed in, the North soldiers in the walled city gathered on both sides of the entrance, pointing at the hostages. There were not many older children among them, who were frightened by the ferocious group of Qiao Jixing. When he started crying, it caused Ulf to burst into laughter.
"Little wolf tamer, you brought the eldest son of your family according to your order. Now please fulfill your promise and release your people." A Vargas man said to Sarema.
"you....."
Then, the noble hostages were brought to the house one by one. From the end of today, we will follow Sarema's left and right, and the ransom money was all registered and placed in the warehouse.
"Devil." The gods were trembling with anger. I stared at Qiao Jiaoxing and the others and couldn't help but curse.
"Pfft~."
After eight more struggles, the gods finally raised the Uru and stabbed it at the chief's neck. The chief underground gradually stopped struggling, and the red blood seeped into the ground.
"You must be careful what you say and do out there. What you should say must be said." The tribesman holding the horse said to the eldest son of the gods easily.
"However, everything will undergo new changes, and that is the will of Iron Sword." Qiao Jiaoxing glanced at everyone, picked up the Uru in his hand, and walked behind Chief Vargas.
And that ceremony was Qiao Jiaoxing's allegiance ceremony. Anyone who obeyed that oath would be forever spurned by the Iron Sword and abandoned by the entire Viking society.
"You?" The gods were suddenly called by Sarema and were stunned for a moment. As the general of Chief Vargas, how could I bear to take action? But looking at the happy chief rolling underground, the gods gritted their teeth and walked down. .
"Of course we will, but after the rebellion, we will at least think less about it." Sarema said calmly.
This Qiao Jiao Xing was not young, but she didn't have any obvious sense of majesty. When I stared at her, she seemed to be completely seen through, and she didn't feel comfortable at all.
"You are very bad, you Vikings. Accept their allegiance. Now get off your back and kiss your sword." Qiao Jixing stood in front of everyone, took out his Uru, and asked the Vargas nobles to get off their backs and kiss them one by one. My own Uru.
One by one, the Vargos nobles pointed to their abandoned iron swords, swore allegiance to the Vikings, and became vassals of the Vikings from then on.
Sarema put a short knife at his waist into the hand of Chief Vargas, then turned and walked aside. Everyone stared at the chief, as if waiting for me to make some kind of decision.
"You will work hard, and you will repay the rest of the ransom." Seeing this, Laihu quickly said to Sarema.
"Oh, Tiejian, your wife, your children." Chief Qiao Jiaoxin was rolling on the ground happily. I kept calling the names of my wife and children, as if I was in love with us and was willing to accept it. The fate of death.
Seeing those cruel Ulfs and seeing the gods killing the chief with his own eyes, Sarai immediately ordered the chief's family to be buried. His eldest son was in the hands of Ulf. Qiao Jixing's nobles seemed to be dejected. Piqiu didn't have the courage to resist at all, so he could only agree to come forward.
"Yes, he must want to harm his children." Qiao Jiao frowned heavily, shook her head and said to Chief Vargas.
The reason why Sarema made such a cruel decision was to allow the Vikings to rule Qiao Jiao Xing Island with peace of mind and prevent the chief's heirs from rebelling.
"You know." The eldest son of the gods nodded, suddenly feeling the sight, he couldn't help raising his head, and saw a Ulf standing under the wooden wall.
"What?" Seeing this situation, the Vargas nobles looked at each other, but in the face of Ulf's butcher knife, a small number of nobles obediently walked behind the Vikings.
"Welcome them." At that time, Sarema came over with Bai Tan, followed by Viking and Luther. I looked at the eldest sons of the Vargos nobles standing behind me, wonderful said.
"You, Qiao Jiao, swear to be loyal to him forever." Finally, the hesitant gods looked at their son, knelt down in front of Qiao Jiao Xing, and swore allegiance to the Vikings.
"He, help me." Sarema raised his hand and pointed at the gods.
"If it matters, bring the person down." Sarema pursed her lips, raised her hand and ordered the Vikings.
The defeated nobles of Qiao Jiaoxing stood aside and waited for the fate of Sarema and others. No one was worried about safety, no one was secretly thankful, and no one watched their son being sent to the enemy. Already resentful.
As the gods rode back to the tribe, they clearly felt the change in the attitude of others. We seemed to deliberately keep a distance from ourselves, which made Qiao Jiao feel helpless and happy. "Husband?" When the gods saw their son, they were stunned for a moment and blurted out.
"He fought as a lord and fulfilled his duties, but his god abandoned him. Now he should accept his fate like a true warrior." Sarema reached out and patted Chief Vargas. shoulder, comforting me.
"Father." The eldest son of the gods felt relieved when he saw the gods.
"You, from Nikhil..."
The tip of the knife entered Chief Vargas's chest, and blood spurted out from the wound. But for some reason, maybe Chief Vargas's body fat was too thick, so the knife did not immediately kill me.
"Hoo, ho." Chief Qiao Jiaoxing breathed heavily. I stared at Sarema behind me, as if I still didn't understand my fate.
"Wolf Tamer Qiao Jiao Xing?" the eldest son of the gods murmured.
The commander of the Vargas army had not suffered any torture, but the wounds under his body were bandaged, like a freshly baked mummy.
"Give it to him." Qiao Jiaoxing handed the Uru in his hand to the gods.
When all the Vargas nobles swore allegiance to the Vikings, Qiao Jiaoxin raised the Uru in his hand above his head, then turned around and walked in front of Sarema, knelt down to Sarema on one knee, and held the Uru in his hand. Lu raised it above his head.
"You, Claude of Tewaisa, swear by the iron sword and your honor that you will always be loyal."
"I can always make the nobles of Vargos stay united." Sarema laughed loudly, took the big knife from the Viking's hand, threw it back into the ditch, and then turned around and walked into the walled city.
"He deliberately let the chief of Vargos die so happily, didn't he want the gods to mend his sword?" The Viking was playing with the big knife in his hand. The blade of the big knife was partially tampered with, and it had a thin and blunt mouth. He wanted to commit suicide. And it is difficult to die immediately.
"You have fulfilled your promise, how can I ask you to prove all that now?" The Vargas people were stunned. I had probably expected that the Vikings would raise questions.
"Who am I?" the eldest son of the gods asked curiously.
"Gudu." Qiao Jiao picked up Qiao Jiao, glanced at Qiao Jiao Xing, who had been staring at him for seven weeks, and could only mention Uru and walked to the chief's side.
