Chapter 35: The Return I
Evening! King Aemond roared loudly in the main hall, and the angry shouts could be heard by the attendants far away outside the palace. They just saw that the procession that had gone out in the morning had come back intact, not one of them was injured or the other was dead.
The inhabitants thought that their soldiers had defeated the legendary terrible man-eating demons, and were about to celebrate the victorious soldiers, but suddenly found that the soldiers who had returned had no energy at all, and looked dejected, and the kings and nobles who were supposed to greet them were also missing.
Just when everyone was puzzled, a white horse galloped across the road, rolling up clouds of dust, and the young prince, who was sitting on the horse, had an angry expression on his face, and before the horse could completely stop, he jumped up and jumped in front of the main hall, and hurried towards the main hall in armor.
After a short time, I heard the roar of His Majesty the King coming from the main hall, and everyone still didn't understand what was going on, what a fool was when they heard the roar. Suddenly, the residents who were ready to celebrate and the soldiers who had returned suddenly dispersed.
King Aemond had already been reported by the spies at the first time, and he knew that the revenge he had arranged had been completely frustrated, and that those hateful heretics had disappeared into the vast sea, and that he had never been so humiliated in all these years, except for a few really irresistible reasons.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Just as he was roaring in anger, the guards outside the door suddenly burst in, shouting loudly as they ran!
Aemond didn't say anything, just looked at the guards running in with cold eyes, and the nobles also looked at this stupid and stupid guard who rushed in with a strange expression, and thought to himself, "Doesn't he know that His Majesty is on fire now?" ”
"Your Majesty! Someone just came to report that last night, those northerners attacked our three villages and towns again, plundering livestock, food, and population, and the magistrate was killed, and the whole town was almost completely looted. Seeing the king with a cold face, the guards knelt far away and said loudly!
"This bunch of garbage! These cowards! These cowards! This group of demons! I'm going to kill them! I'm going to kill them! After hearing the guard's words, Aemond, who was about to vent his anger on this guy who didn't open his eyes and ran to find the dead guy himself, was once again diverted. He roared loudly as he waved his stubby arms vigorously, his fat flesh shaking with his movements.
He was really angry to death, he didn't expect this group of guys to be so cowardly, so cunning, they took advantage of the fact that he attacked three towns last night when he was organizing troops, and when he sent troops to recruit today, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet. His mighty brigade didn't even see the shadow of his opponent! He felt like he was about to die of anger, he felt the insult, he felt the burning sensation on his face. This is a slap in the face, a naked slap in the face.
At this time, Evan didn't care whether others were angry or not, and the four dragon warships they were riding on were cleaving the waves at full speed at sea. The Vikings on the ship were very excited about the harvest, and everyone drank oat wine and ate barbecue in high spirits, of course, the barbecue bread was free to eat, but the oat wine was limited to one glass per person, and Evan could not want all his men to get drunk, not only their own people, but also those slaves.
Don't look at these slaves at this time, they are all pale and trembling, if they are all drunk, these poor-looking slaves will definitely not hesitate to kill them and throw them into the sea to feed the sharks.
Seven days later! The originally peaceful territory of Avon in the Navia Peninsula suddenly became bustling, and people rushed out of their homes and ran towards the sea, because they saw, saw four dragon warships sail into the temporary harbor, which were their warships, where their lords and their relatives were located.
In the cheers of the crowd, Evan was the first to step down from the boat, with a kind smile on his face, and kept waving to the crowd as he walked like a great man in his previous life, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, "It feels so good, but my arm is a little sore." ”
Just as he walked into the crowd, he saw Nala, dressed in a plain cloth dress, leading Russ and Mary to stand not far away, and Evan immediately quickened his pace, and walked quickly towards his mother without waiting for the people behind him to happily remove their belongings from the boat.
"Mother! I am back! Evan approached and bowed to his savior, his beloved mother.
"Brother! Brother! Embrace! "It's better that Russ is older, just say hello to Evan and stand right in front of him, Mary can't. Seeing Evan, he ran to him, calling his brother crisply, waving his chubby arms, and raising his immature little face with a longing look for him to hug.
"Giggle......" Evan picked up his sister and lifted her little body high above his head, and little Mary let out a crisp and happy laugh like a silver bell, which resounded throughout the camp.
Olaf was not in a hurry, he was watching everyone unload the goods and slaves, he was afraid that Evan's interests would be harmed, although the possibility of such a was very small, but the heart of defense was indispensable, he knew this truth. Ever since his adopted son became the leader, Nala had told him a lot, and now he was much more flexible than before.
This is also the reason why Olaf was going to sea when he knew that Olaf was going to sea, and Evan was unwilling to take his adoptive father into danger again, but this time Nala also forced Evan to take Olaf with him. It seems that she has been educating her reckless husband a lot lately, and she must know that he has improved, so Olaf has the appearance of a leader and his father this way, and has indeed helped a lot.
Evan was in the crowd, and he didn't see the shadow of Skelly, and he guessed that the charming barlady didn't want everyone to know about their relationship, so he deliberately didn't come, and now he might be hiding in a corner to secretly watch.
Evan didn't mind that Skali didn't come to greet him, this beautiful and intelligent woman had been silently helping him, even if she was now in the position of the leader, she had contributed a lot, after all! The count was granted by the king, and he was a commoner who killed the lord of the king's reward at will without punishment, which is something that ordinary people cannot do.
Evan had doubted this, too, but he knew that everyone had their own secrets, just as he had traveled through time. As long as there is no harm to himself, he will not ask these secrets of Skellly, he believes in this woman, this trust is formed in countless interactions, so Skali does not say it, there must be a reason why she does not say it, and Evan himself does not chase after it, so as not to estranged the relationship between the two parties.
