Chapter 18: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger (5)

The sky was cloudy, the first spring rain came as promised, the fine raindrops sounded the horn of the revival of all things, and everything came so casually and quietly.

But in Ramqvist's territory, thousands of people walked on the muddy ground with tired faces, and on this rainy day, they could no longer take shelter from the rain in their warm huts, but carried large and small burdens, pulling wooden carts, and poured in from afar like refugees.

Slowly, the refugees-like Vikings stopped their progress and cautiously looked across from them, and as far as they looked, they could see a large group of Viking warriors with weapons in their hands.

The silence did not last long, as the number of refugees gathered and the refugees gathered for a brief period of panic, and after a brief period of panic, countless Viking men emerged, armed with wooden shields and axes, standing in a row in a defensive posture.

"Big brother! There you are? It's been a long time since we've seen each other! ”

Just as the breath of the two sides was stalemate, and the war was about to break out, a passage suddenly flashed among the soldiers on the opposite side, and then in this passage, a man and a horse came out of the crowd, and words came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse.

"Garay, I think my sentinel has brought you a message? That's how you greet me as a big brother? ”

Seeing that the unknown younger brother Garley had the strength to compete with him at this moment, Anthony was very aggrieved, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he questioned-

"Big brother! You have wronged my little brother, didn't I come out rashly to greet my subordinates? ”

Hearing Anthony's questioning, Gary said to his eldest brother with a look of grievance, seeing that the expression on his face now does not seem to be fake, as if he is really sincere to explain to his eldest brother Anthony.

In fact, Gare received the news from Anthony, and he was shocked at the time, among the brothers, Gary had been unknown, but it didn't mean that he was incapable, just because there were several brothers above who suppressed him, and he himself was born to a concubine, which made his status embarrassing, and it was difficult to display even if he had thousands of ambitions in his heart.

Especially as the brothers get older, they also have a deeper understanding of power and honor, which makes the brothers fight each other, especially Anthony, Gale and the Marvin brothers born to their wives for the position of earl.

Anthony and Gale were born to the same concubines and had no legal inheritance rights in the clan, but the two were older and slowly became involved in the management of the clan over time, and Ramqvist handed over his soldiers to the two of them, a decision that gave them access to the lowest and bravest warriors.

Over the years, with the need for plundering and war, Anthony and Gale have often looked for opportunities to win hearts and cultivate their own power.

Although everyone more or less discovered this situation, no one came forward to stop it, first of all, because Ramqvist is not too old, and it is not a problem to live for more than ten years.

The elders in the family believe that as Marven grows older, and then educated and led by the respected elders in the family, they believe that Marven's status in the clan will soon be re-established, after all, Marven is the real successor.

Of course, the understanding in the hearts of the elders of the Du family who thought above does not mean that their half-brothers are also willing to do the same, including Garay, but the situation is not as good as others, Garay once thought that he would get married and have children in obscurity, and live plainly under the leadership of that Marven for a lifetime.

Although he was helpless when he made this decision in his heart, what could he do as a powerless illegitimate son under the circumstances at that time?

He can only choose this path, which is also the best way to save Garay's life, because he knows that he was born in this family, and he has no choice, and he has no ability to resist, so he can only accept it silently.

But the world is impermanent! No one thought that Ramqvist would still be lustful even when he was old, and would want to marry a young and beautiful main chamber for him to play with, and it was this decision that caused him to die in someone else's territory and sleep forever in the ground.

At that time, Garay did not feel much sadness and anger when he received this news, after all, Ramqvist had too many children, and he could not love everyone, including Garay, of course.

Things often develop so dramatically, just when the elders of the family announce that Marven will inherit the position of earl and will avenge Ramqvist to lead the clan, all the peace is instantly broken, first the eldest brother Anthony because he disobeyed the decision of the family elders to judge the clan and take away the subordinates loyal to him, and then the second brother Gale also followed in the footsteps of the eldest brother for the same reason.

After they left, the whole tribe was in chaos, and the people were panicked! After the eldest brother and the second brother left one after another, the remaining brothers felt that their opportunity had come, and they each left the tribe with a small number of people, and frantically gathered the scattered people, hoping to make a difference.

Among these departed brothers is Garay, the fourth child who has been unknown, and it is this Garay who, in this obviously unfair, unequal competition, used his wisdom and courage to kill several of these brothers in a row, and then saw the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to loot the people and wealth left behind by Marven's death, and became one of the three heroes in one fell swoop.

Now he is not the one who chose to put up with the obscure Garay, he is now capable of fighting any of his brothers, and even hopes to defeat them and become the new earl.

But it is precisely because Garay's wisdom and determination are stronger than others that he has been able to go from obscurity to this point, although there is an element of luck in it, but I have to admit that his overall view is much better than that of other brothers, otherwise he would not have survived to this point, standing here.

It is precisely for this reason that Garay knew as soon as he received the news from Anthony that only a combination could defeat Evan and his army.

And he knew that this competition was not comparable to the cannibalism between their own brothers, although they attacked each other at that time, after all, both sides were of the same clan regardless of the high-ranking and warriors, and they were all familiar with each other, so at that time, in many cases, everyone did not kill each other.

After all, none of the three of them wanted to get the coveted earl position after their final victory, and when they turned their heads, they found that because of the war, they had no civilians and no soldiers, and only got an empty earl.
