"Where is this?" Standing on the bow of the ship looking at the coastline of the Kingdom of Norway, William suddenly saw a sunny and dangerous natural harbor, and couldn't help but be interested and asked the people around him.

"Your Majesty, this is Bergen, an unknown fishing village, if we weren't going to conquer Norway, I'm afraid this would be an isolated place." The well-informed Duke Hubert answered this question for William. '

Bergen, the famous Norwegian city William knows, it is the second largest city in Norway, and it is also the largest and most beautiful port capital on the west coast of Norway, which was selected as the "European Cultural Capital" by the United Nations in 2000.

"With Bergen's geographical advantages, it will not be long before it will become one of the several major cities in the Kingdom of Norway, as well as a trading hub.

Remember here, in the future I will build a city and a port in Bergen! William pointed to the harbor not far in front of him with his right hand, and pointed to the road in high spirits.

Bergen was still a fishing village, and it was not until 1070 that the city was first established a dozen years later, by the current prince Olaf, the future king of Norway, and the city was the capital of Norway until 1299.

"Your Majesty, do you need to repair in Bergen, we have sailed all the way for nearly half a month, and in order to avoid the Norwegians' detection, except for the port of Bourges, we have not stopped at any port to rest, and the soldiers are a little tired." Faller, who was beside William, saw that this was a rare and excellent game, so he opened his mouth to suggest.

"How's the morale of the soldiers?" William turned his head to him and asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the morale of the soldiers is very high, and they are full of confidence in this great expedition." With a confident smile on his face, Faller replied.

William shook his head and decisively rejected Faller's seemingly feasible suggestion: "In this case, we don't have to stop and recuperate, we must know that the use of soldiers is expensive in one go, I once heard the sage of the East Cao Yan said, 'One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion'."

It means that the battle is fought by courage, the first drumming boosts courage, the second drumming courage is low, the third drumming courage is exhausted, their courage is gone, and they will suffer defeat.

We are now in high spirits, and we must not be easily discouraged, and we need to conquer the capital of the Kingdom of Norway, Trondheim, in one fell swoop. ”

"It's the minister who was stupid and almost made a big mistake, please forgive your majesty." Faller knelt down on one knee in front of William, bowed his head and confessed his mistake to William.

"It's all right, you just have to do it faithfully, get up." William didn't blame the other party, and raised his hand to help him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Faller wept in gratitude, prostrated again, and then got up.

"Lord Hubert, do you know how far Bergen is from Trondheim, the capital of the Kingdom of Norway?" William turned to Duke Hubert and asked.

"Your Majesty, there are still more than seven hundred kilometers to go, and judging from the speed of the current fleet, it will only take another three or four days to reach the city of Trondheim." Duke Hubert calculated the distance in his mind and replied to William.

"Lord Hubert, you are very knowledgeable, and we should ask you for advice." William praised it.

"Your Majesty has an overreputation, and the ministers dare not be ashamed." Hubert owes a debt and says modestly.

William looked at Hubert's modest appearance, and he didn't break it, he knew that Hubert was actually a very proud aristocrat, and only in front of William, he would be more modest and cautious, because he knew that William preferred his subordinates to be modest and cautious in front of him.

"I'm looking forward to it, Norway, a dream Nordic paradise." William looked at the snow-covered mountains and the winding bay not far away, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

......

At this time, the capital of the Kingdom of Norway, Trondheim, was still unprepared when they learned that the Normans were about to attack their country, because at this time, whether the nobles or commoners, knights or soldiers, were concerned about the illness of their king Magnus II and the succession to the throne.

The entire city of Trondheim has been effectively divided into two factions due to Magnus II's serious illness, the most powerful of which is Magnus II's younger brother Olaf, who supports him the most nobles, but the other supports Magnus II's brother-in-law Gudo. There are not a few nobles in Clowyn, and they are not inferior to Olaf's faction in terms of momentum.

The battle between the two factions had begun to heat up, the atmosphere was very tense, they really did not have the energy to arrange the defense of Trondheim, and from the information they received, the Normans were targeting Oslo and Olaf, not Trondheim, which is why Prince Olaf did not come to Trondheim even though his brother was seriously ill, and he was directing his soldiers to start arranging defenses against the Normans.

But what they didn't expect was that the news that "the goal of the Normans was to attack Oslo" was simply a rumor made up by William, and his purpose was just to confuse the enemy and create an opportunity for him to march into Trondheim, but they didn't expect these stupid nobles to really believe it.

The nobles of Trondheim, who thought they were safe, devoted all their energies to the palace struggle, unaware of the impending catastrophe that befell them.

In the evening, when the sky was getting dark, and the smoke of cooking rose over the city of Trondheim, whether it was the fishermen who went out to sea to fish, or the merchants who loaded and unloaded their goods, they all put down their work and enjoyed a rare dinner, but at this time, outside the port of Trondheim, outside the Trondheim fjord, there were countless Norman warships, and the battleships were densely packed with countless soldiers, and they were ready for battle.

The Normans were ready, but even at this time, Trondheim City still did not find anything unusual, because the fishing boats and cargo ships outside the port outside the city were cleaned up by the Normans, and the city of Trondheim was a deaf and blind old man at this time, and his sight and hearing had been taken away by the Normans.

"The enemy army is a ferocious beast, and we can only teach them a lesson with the sword.

If we die in battle, we are forging glory with our lives.

If it is triumphant, it is the will of God that is shining.

Now, soldiers, the time has come to show your strength. The whole army is on the offensive! Standing on the high podium, William drew his sword and swung forward, commanding in a loud voice.

"God's will!"

"Our army will win!"

“Kill，！ kill！ kill！ ”
