Chapter 9: Rumors (II)

During the winter months in the Navia Peninsula, a few young people from other tribes were chatting casually, and their topic for today revolved around one person, "Evan".

At this time, a young man was around the campfire, telling a few people around him, telling a few people what he had heard with a few friends. For the first time, these stories were attractive enough to these young people, and they all showed a yearning on their faces, and their eyes became brighter and brighter with the ups and downs of the storyline.

"Do you know the truth? Relying on the instructions of the god of the sea, he found the legendary rich land, which, according to those who returned, was full of treasures, endless wine, herds of cattle and sheep, always summer, and green everywhere.

The young man named Evan brought back countless treasures and slaves with him on a single voyage, and gave all the harvest to the people who had rescued him in the first place.

But this also caused the Rolf to burst into hatred, and he managed to surround Evan's house, ready to kill his family. It is said that it was pitch black outside that night, and the stars and the moon did not know where they went. At that time, the Count of Rolf brought several thousand men to surround the Evan house. ”

The young man paused abruptly when he said this, and when he saw the worry and indignation on everyone's faces, and the anger in his eyes, he continued unhurriedly.

"Come to think of it, there are thousands of people surrounding Evan, and there is no chance that he will survive. But just as Rolf was about to kill Evan, a red glow suddenly appeared in the dark sky, and I saw a god in red armor walking down from the sky step by step in front of everyone.

The red-armored god waved his hand lightly when he walked up to Evan's side, and Rolf, who was arrogant to kill Evan just now, fell off his horse, and was instantly drained of blood and turned into a dried corpse. ”

"Whew-"

As soon as the young man said this, several men beside him let out loud inhales, and they were completely shocked by the content of the story.

"That's not all, I heard that the gods appointed this young man named Evan to lead the tribe of Rolf in front of everyone, and told him to lead the Vikings to a good life.

This is also the reason why everyone supports him for killing the Earl for something, and he is the first heir to be chosen by the gods themselves. ”

"Really? If, as you say, that young man must be God's protector? And not only was he able to find the legendary land, but he also gave the entire harvest to his clansmen? Is this true? ”

A young man beside him asked the question that everyone wanted to ask at this moment, and everyone's eyes suddenly sharpened, staring at the young man who was speaking.

"Really! What I said was all true! Many people know about this matter, and now many young people with dreams are rushing to their territory, hoping to join them. ”

"So what are you waiting for? Guys, let's go and join them, since they have been chosen by the gods, such people are worthy of our allegiance. Let's go! Follow him on a journey to the legendary land of mystery and abundance. ”

"Let's not make a noise first, lest it reach the ears of the lord, then we won't be able to leave, everyone go back and pack up your things now, and we'll leave tonight."

A few young people who have their own ideals and are unwilling to be mediocre hit it off, agreed on a time, and secretly took their families or set off alone towards Evan's territory.

In fact, this is just a small microcosm of the Navian Peninsula, as Evan's fame spreads, especially when he killed his lord, not only did he survive but also gained the support of the territory and the people, and more importantly, he was the lucky one chosen by the gods to find the legendary rich land and bring back countless treasures.

At this time, Evan did not know what to do, and countless Vikings with dreams and courage to challenge were breaking away from their original tribe and coming to him from all directions.

But even Evan Zhidao was only happy, he wouldn't stop such a hot-blooded young man, he wished that all the people would become his people?

As people began to descend on Evan's tribe, a team of several hundred men braved the bitter cold. Dressed in disheveled costumes and armed with weapons of various shapes, the whole of them were wrapped in animal skins, and they walked forward step by step.

In this procession, there were only a few horses, which trotted slowly in front of the crowd, and immediately sat several powerful men guarding them.

These two men were the leaders of the group, and they were the leaders of two small clans.

Among them, the middle-aged man who was not tall, with a brown beard and an unusually strong body, like a legendary dwarf, was the leader of the small tribe "Gattuso" not far from the Evan tribe.

Fittuso was accompanied by an older, gray-haired, dark-eyed old man, a minor lord named "Svensson" who was far away from Evon's domain.

The two tribes are far away and about the same strength, and they have always been trying to survive in the cracks of the mass tribes, guarding that little bit of tribal population and struggling. Because of the weakness, there is nothing worthy of others to peep at, plus live a little more carefully, but there are no major problems.

But even so, they knew in their hearts that if they wanted to develop or survive, they would need more population and financial resources, so with this kind of thinking, coupled with the fact that the strength of the two families was about the same, and there was no direct conflict of interest, and both of them had this kind of thought, so when the two met each other a long time ago, they dated for a period of time, and after understanding each other, they formed an alliance in order not to be eaten by other big tribes.

It is with this alliance of watching over each other and helping each other that the relationship between the two people is getting better and better, and they also encourage intermarriage between the two tribes, and even form teams to plunder together every year, so as to bring benefits to each other as much as possible, so that their people will not leave them because of poverty.

Today, the two came against the cold wind, mainly because Svensson received an invitation from Gattuso, saying that there was something important to discuss. As soon as Svensson heard about the invitation of his old friend, and it was this season, he knew that things must be in a hurry, so he rushed over with a small number of guards without thinking about it.

In fact, it is not for nothing that Svensson is so anxious, during the five-month winter in the Navia Peninsula, the tribesmen choose to stay in their cabins, around the campfire, to escape the cold, not to mention the chief. Nothing damn bad, no one is going to go out in this damn weather.

Svensson and Gattuso have been dating for so many years, and they know that the rugged man will not call him for no reason in such a cold season, and there must be something serious that will make Gattuso look for him despite the cold.

So after receiving the news of Gattuso, he hurried and reached Gattuso's tribe as fast as he could. When he arrived, he couldn't help but wonder when he saw that everything was the same as before.

However, in Gattuso's narration, he realized that there was a young man named "Evan", who not only killed his lord and seized power without punishment, but most importantly, this young man found the legendary rich land.

This news is terrible, they have been leaders for so many years, and they know what the wealth of the Dao represents. That means more people, more livestock, better weapons, more slaves, and more opportunities.

After all, Gattuso's territory is not far from Evan's territory, although in winter, the news has not yet spread, but this does not mean that his neighbor will not know about it.

After Svensson got the positive and accurate news from Gattuso's mouth, his first reaction was to eat the clan led by Evan, kill all the people who knew the news, and swallow this wealth for himself.

With his years of experience, he knew what a rare opportunity this was, in this barren land, as long as he guarded this financial road and gave him a few years of development, he could definitely make his strength the most powerful.

He could imagine at this moment the treasures of the ancient tales, the seasons like spring, and the countless livestock.

However, Gattuso's words completely sank his illusions, because the strength of the territory occupied by Evan cannot be underestimated, and the combat power in his hands is definitely not something that Svensson and Gattuso can defeat with the combined strength.

They wanted to get the news of this exciting route of wealth, but they didn't get the power of wealth, which made the two of them at a loss, and finally Gattuso said what he thought in his heart, that is, the two of them wanted to test this lord who was said to have just come of age, and it would be best if they could fool or intimidate, and they couldn't help but think of other ways.

They did as soon as they thought of it, and the two of them immediately took their strongest guards, wrapped in thick animal skins, and set off immediately, regardless of the severe cold, all the way.

Today, Hall Square. A large group of neatly arranged, uniformly dressed majestic warriors stood on both sides of the square with their chests held high, despite the cold wind. They slung long swords at their waists and stared ahead with great axes in their hands. They are like demons from the abyss, ready to harvest the lives of their enemies, and whoever passes by them will feel a chill.

Originally, there was still some arrogance in my heart, thinking about the two small clan leaders who were intimidating Evan, when had they ever seen such a powerful warrior. At that time, you look at me, I look at you, and what they saw from the other party's eyes was all frightened, their legs shivering uncontrollably with the cold wind, and their feet weighed as much as a thousand pounds like lead.

If it weren't for the fact that they saw Evan who came out to greet him with a smile on his face, they might have run away at that time, and even so, their backs were already wet with sweat, and their hearts couldn't calm down for a long time.

After a simple but breathtaking reception ceremony, a group of people arrived in the hall. Under the flickering light of the fire, five square chairs were placed around the fire at this time, and five people sat on the chairs, two of the little lords were still pale, and their souls had not yet entered their bodies.
