Chapter 20: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger (7)

The information that the three leaders had a few years ago was that Rolf had 5,000 people, so what more than doubled the number of people in just one winter after Evan took over? Even the warriors reached a terrifying 10,000 people, and when you add up the old and weak people in the tribe, there are at least 15,000 or more people, which made them puzzled when they first met.

As they followed Evan for longer, the doubts in the hearts of the three leaders deepened, and after deliberation in their hearts, they agreed that something important must have happened in this past winter that they did not know how to go, and Evan must have annexed someone else's territory. This speculation made the hearts of the three leaders who were bent on taking advantage of them uneasy.

Because everyone knows that Evan's behavior is not a good sign. Evan has surpassed them by too much now, and if Evan really annexes someone else's territory, then the administrator of the territory he annexed must have died long ago, this is an obvious fact. If any of them would do the same, this is the law of survival of the strong, and no one is exempt.

However, because of this, the three leaders were worried, they were afraid that Evan's ambition would increase with the increase in strength, in that case, Evan would attack others sooner or later, and the position of the three of them happened to be near Evan's territory, so for the future, from any point of view, if Evan wanted to attack, he would definitely be the first to attack them.

However, this worry did not last long, perhaps Evan saw the doubts and concerns in the hearts of the three leaders, and on the second day of camping, Evan personally invited the three leaders to dinner, and took the initiative to tell the origin of the other people, so as to dispel everyone's concerns.

In Evan's introduction, the three chieftains know what happened, and it turns out that these people are from Vincent's territory. Hearing Evan say this himself, everyone's worries were relieved, because the conflict between the two tribes, Evan and Vincent, had a long history, and they certainly knew about it as neighbors and leaders.

And they also know that the two tribes will clash and fight every few years, and the contradictions between the two sides have reached the point of being incompatible, and now Evan has killed Vincent, which can only show that Vincent is a loser, which is also the end he should face, in the minds of the Vikings, hatred can only be resolved by blood and heads.

This result makes everyone no longer nervous, and revenge is commonplace, just like now Evan led his warriors to Ramqvist territory, and the contradictions between the two sides have also reached the point of irreconcilability, or Evan shows weakness and waits to be attacked and eliminated. Or, as now, he is powerful, and he brings his tribe to sweep everything, kill the enemy, and destroy all the blood relatives of the enemy.

History at any time is written by the victors, and no one will blame Evan for whether it is morals and common sense to do so, and if he is to blame, he can only blame Ramqvist for messing with the wrong people in the first place.

However, the three leaders also knew that Evan must have invited them to come today to talk about sending troops, and it seemed that the war was about to begin. However, if the war is launched at this time, the other side already knows their strength, and must have made a strategy to meet the enemy, and the frontal war at this time must be very tragic, and they are not willing to rush to the front to fight hard.

A modest tent, a simple round table made of large roots, and large pieces of barbecue, bread, jam and oat wine are placed on the wide root cuts. Four people sat around a small round wooden stake, and three of them were elderly men, who were not in a hurry to enjoy their food, but looked at the smiling young man opposite them with different expressions, as if they were waiting for something.

"First of all, I want to thank you for your help to me, you lead your warriors to come with me to crusade against the enemy, I thank you, please drink this cup."

Seeing that the three leaders didn't eat or drink and just looked at him and didn't speak, how could Evan not know what they wanted to know? However, Evan, who is a businessman, can't say things straightforwardly now, and it's better to whet their appetite, so he said a slightly hypocritical kind word.

"Ahem, cough - nothing to do, nothing to do, as neighbors, it's right to help each other."

Even the three leaders, whose cheeks had been tempered quite thickly, were blushed by Evan's words of thanks in person, and they hated Evan extremely much in their hearts. Knowing that they were here to take advantage, now they want to thank them in turn, and they will feel embarrassed to be anyone, so they have to cough and excuse themselves to cover up their embarrassment.

"You're welcome, you're all your own people, you were able to go with me and bring more than 10,000 soldiers, no matter what, I, Evan want to thank you. Several of them are my seniors in terms of age and experience, and Evan still has a lot to learn from you in the future, so please don't shirk when the time comes. ”

Evan saw three slightly shy old faces, and secretly scolded the other party in his heart for being thick enough, so there was no red on his face at all? He wanted to test the three cheeky chieftains, and with that in mind, he stood up, raised his glass, stooped down and saluted the three chiefs, and spoke to them in a loud and righteous voice.

"Where, where! Evan, don't be modest, you are in the prime of life now, and you have your own team, we don't have this achievement at your age, and seeing you like this now, we all have to feel that we are old. ”

The eldest, Conse, was the first to speak, and he had to say that if he didn't say anything, who knew if this hateful young man would continue to irritate them. He felt that Evan's words were embarrassing to him, and if he didn't stop him now, he was afraid that he would vomit blood in anger.

"If you say so, I will not say it, lest others think that we are boasting here. It doesn't matter to me if I say this, I'm afraid that someone with a heart will spread it out and hinder your heroic image. Haluha-"

Seeing the three people who were a little excited, Evan decided to accept it when he saw it, and let them go today, after all, the current situation is still better not to make enemies everywhere, he hurriedly followed Conse's words and said. He sat down, but did not drink the wine in his glass.

"I don't know if you called us here today, is there something going on?"

Under Evan's humility, everyone sat down in turn again, and it was the eldest Consey who opened his mouth to ask the questions in the minds of the other two.

According to recent contacts, this Evan has been polite all day long, always with a friendly smile on his face, and is very affectionate to everyone, whether it is to the three lords, or to the common people or slaves. They didn't find the slightest bit of a frame in Evan, nor did they find the kind of momentum that a towering person should have.

Although they think that Evan is easy to get along with, they don't agree with Evan's approach, and they won't learn from Evan to do it. In their deep-rooted thinking, the leader should have the majesty of the leader, what does it look like to laugh and laugh all day long?

This also made them curious about Evan as a person, and they couldn't figure out what kind of person Evan was. looks like the boy next door, but how can such a person have such a strong team? How could you convince so many unruly Vikings? How did he do it? This kind of question would be asked uncontrollably by the three of them in their hearts every time they saw Evan smile on his face.

"Actually, I came today to tell the leaders about the current situation, according to the report of the warriors who came back just now, Ramqvist's sons Anthony and Garay have joined forces, and his second son Gale has also led his tribe on the way to converge, according to their current speed, they should arrive this evening."

Evan didn't sell the news this time, but directly said the news reported by the soldiers, he felt that there was no need to hide this situation, no one was a fool, and these three leaders must have known about the situation, after all, if they want to survive in this grim land, they will each have a source.

"They're meeting tonight? What is the approximate number of people? What is the approximate combat power? Did your people say it? ”

Sure enough, as Evan expected, the three leaders of Consei did not show a surprised expression when they heard Evan's news, they looked at each other, and saw the answer in each other's eyes, or it was Consei who asked the question.

"There should be nothing wrong with them meeting tonight, and as for the combat strength, there should be six thousand soldiers, and if you add women and the elderly, you can barely make up eight thousand fighters."

Evan told the news without reservation, and told the three greedy foxes on the other side.

"There are so many people? No way? Did you get the wrong message? After more than half a year of civil war, didn't they have attrition? ”

Hearing that the other party had eight thousand combat power, the three leaders couldn't sit still for a while, they didn't have the steadiness they had at the beginning, and said loudly with a surprised face.

It's no wonder that the three of them are not calm, just ask the three of them to make up a total of 10,000 warriors, although this is not all their combat strength, but it is also most of their men, they didn't expect that after Ramqvist died, his three sons were torn apart and attacked each other, and there were so many warriors. This was something they couldn't have imagined at the beginning, if they had known that they had so many people, a fool would come to this troubled water.

Seeing the panicked performance of the three of them, Evan was extremely contemptuous in his heart, such a person is also worthy of being the leader? Could it be that the rich life really cannibalized these Viking warriors into timidity and cowardice?

No matter how much Evan despised it in his heart, the smile on his face remained unchanged at all, and he said to the three of them more sincerely, "What I said is the news that has been probed by many parties, and it should be regarded as a relatively accurate figure, you don't need to be surprised by this, if anyone is not at ease, you can ask your own spies to see if what I Evan said is true, but there is an exaggeration?" ”
