"Long live the Count! Long live the Earl! ——”

As soon as Evan's words fell, the crowd fell into a brief silence, and everyone seemed to be unresponsive. After a while, the overwhelming cheers suddenly sounded, and people shouted excitedly like crazy, especially the families of the dozen or so deceased, who were even more tearful, hoarse, and choked with sadness and surprise in the shouts.

In fact, it is not for nothing that everyone is so excited, try to ask who has no children, whose children are not raised by hard work, and whose relatives are not uncomfortable when they die? Although the Vikings were instilled from an early age with the idea that when people die in war, their souls will be received by the god Odin, this does not mean that the hearts of living relatives will not be sad. Evan thought about this, thinking of a family that loses its husband, son, and main labor force, and not only has to go through emotional pain, but also has a difficult life.

Now Evan not only rewarded the dead, but also made a promise in front of the whole clan at the sacred hall meeting, which couldn't help but relieve everyone's worries, making them more worry-free on the battlefield, they could fight bravely, and even if they died, they didn't have to worry about their families. Therefore, it is completely understandable that the clansmen are so excited now.

With cheers, a clansman with tears in his eyes was ushered to the front, and they picked up what they needed from the many harvests and returned to the crowd. In the process, the shouting of the crowd never stopped.

Although Evan was ecstatic at the moment, his face was not revealing anything, and he looked at the enthusiastic crowd below with a calm gaze, with a solemn and peaceful face.

"Now let's talk about the second thing!"

As everyone left, Evan raised his hands flat, signaling everyone to be quiet. The crowd was quiet again, and seeing the crowd quieted down, Evan continued to speak.

"The New World we set foot on is as rich as the legend says, with endless food, a climate with four seasons, and countless treasures, but also powerful enemies. We now need more people, more ships, more warriors, more weapons, and strong and absolutely obedient warriors.

So I decided! From now on, all the clansmen, young and old, will no longer hide in the cozy wooden hut this winter, but will all take action, working hard and training for the beautiful life to come. ”

When Evan said this, he changed his previous relaxed tone and said aloud to everyone seriously.

This is also the method he has prepared so many ways to win people's hearts today, and it is also the main and urgent thing he needs to implement today.

For this bitter cold place under his feet, Evan really has no nostalgia at all. In the past, I didn't have the ability to get out of the city, but now I want to get out of the road, but my strength is still weak. He was now desperate to improve his combat power, leave here, and lead his people to the British Peninsula to start a new life.

He was confident that he would open a new page in the British Peninsula, after all, he still had memories of his past life in his head, which provided important knowledge and security to a large extent.

Although he knew that with his small tribe of 5,000 people, he wanted to go to the mighty British Peninsula to grab territory, which was no different from seeking death, but what he needed to do now was to open a window of hope in the hearts of his people, and he believed that no one would refuse a better life.

He is now a small man, but he believes that with his own efforts, the current 5,000 people will become 50,000, 500,000, or even 5 million in the future.

Although he has an incomparable desire for five million people in his heart, he really doesn't know if there are really five million Viking pirates in the current Navia Peninsula, but even if he doesn't have it, he won't give up his dream, even if the Navia Peninsula doesn't, there are still many people in other places, and he will work hard for this goal.

As his words landed, there was a buzz from the otherwise quiet crowd, and everyone was stunned by Evan's decision. The Vikings have lived close to the Arctic for generations, and for five months of winter each year, they have become accustomed to cats sitting around the fire in their homes to escape the cold.

Now Evan wants them to abandon their ancestral traditions and train in the cold winter days in the snow and the biting sea breeze? It's a way of life that they never thought about.

"This is my order, and no one can question it! All must be complied with. ”

Seeing that the clansmen below began to whisper, Evan immediately made a decision and made this proposal loudly.

"Kill!"

As he uttered the most obscure command, the guards on both sides who had been standing still suddenly shouted, raised the long axes in their hands with both hands, and then swung them hard, rows of cold light flashed, and in the winter evening, a killing aura suddenly gushed out.

This sudden shout and wave instantly shocked all the clansmen who gathered. Their voices also came to an abrupt end in that loud shout, and only the neat row of cold light crossed their eyes.

Everyone once again understood the fact in their hearts, the seemingly modest young man in front of him was a high leader, not a boy next door, and the power and strength in his hands could cut off the head of anyone who dared to disobey orders and resist in violation of the law at any time, which made everyone have more awe of the young man in front of them.

"Now that everyone understands what I mean, now I'm going to say the third thing! I decided to divide all the fighting forces into two parts, that is, to form two brigades, which would train separately and compete with each other, so that the winner could act with me and receive a great reward. And the losing brigade, from top to bottom, will be punished until one day they outperform each other. So, in the next few days, everyone has to work hard and train hard to be the winning side. ”

Evan spoke aloud about the order he had already envisaged in his mind, and he paused to look around to see how his people reacted to his arrangement.

The crowd around them, especially the men, heard such a unique competition, and they were eager to try it one by one, as if they wanted to compete with each other now. Seeing everyone's reaction, Evan was very satisfied.

"Don't speak, everyone, listen to me. I decided to form a team of strong and healthy women, set up a strong team of shield women, and then organize children and teenagers into a team for unified training, so that they can get the opportunity to learn from an early age, so that when they grow up, they can become strong warriors.

As for the old people, they are all respectable people who have worked hard all their lives for the prosperity and stability of the whole tribe, they can live at will, and they do not need to work hard and shed blood in old age, so they do not have any tasks, they just need to drink oat wine and eat barbecue around the fire in a warm home.

All the above personnel, on the day of training, eat and drink, all by me, everyone only needs to bring a mouth, with the confidence of never say die, no need to prepare anything. ”

Evans decided not to give everyone time to react, and said all the arrangements for the combatants in one breath, since they want to be tough, they must be tough to the end.

"Also, the slaves I brought with me this time are young and strong. Now hand over all the men to Harriet and Albert, and set up two brigades of shipbuilding and weapons processing, to build us more warships and sharper weapons.

The rest of the women were left to my mother, Nala, who was to weave uniform garments for everyone, and to cultivate our land and help us with our chores. ”

Evan stopped talking after saying the main thing of the meeting, looked at the people around him who were still in shock, and looked at their mouths open, breathing heavily, their eyes protruding from their sockets, and their expressions of incredulity, Evan thought it was funny.

The arrangement he made today was not a temporary idea, he thought about it for a long time, he thought about the past, the present, the future, he could think about it or not, he thought about it so much that his brain hurt, and he couldn't sleep all night thinking about it.

He can't help but think about it as well as possible, it's not a trivial matter, it's about his happy life in the future. Every step in the future may bleed and die, and he doesn't want to be the one who dies, so he has to think about it.
