War drums beating, flags flying, swords and halberds are intertwined, corpses are everywhere, Henry, the king of East Francia, lured the Danish king Banuk into a trap and divided and surrounded, but the strength of the Viking warriors was not completely weakened, these men who were born to compete with the harsh environment of Northern Europe, the environment created their tenacious character, even in the harsh environment is not discouraged, but arouses their desire to live or die, Surrounded by the Saxons, the Vikings often chanted the names of Odin or Thor, and fought to the death until they fell to the ground.

"Bitter fighting, my father." Prince Otto's brow furrowed, he didn't like this kind of needless casualties, in his opinion, Arold used tools more wisely, and it would not damage a lot of manpower, Prince Otto's concern was not mercy, but these levies were farmers, and too many dead and wounded farmers would put pressure on the kingdom's economy, but his father, King Henry of East Francia, had another thing in mind.

"My son, this is what I did for you." Henry, King of East Francia, said to his heir, Prince Otto, pointing to the sacrificed levies, and then preached to Prince Otto, "As kings, we sometimes have to make painful choices, but it's all for the sake of the kingdom, for the sake of God, remember that, remember the people who sacrificed." ”

"Yes, my father." Prince Otto nodded, and he turned his gaze back to the brutal battlefield, but his mindset had changed, and he was now looking at the war as a king.

"Very well, now let the knights go into battle." I saw the change in my son's gaze. King Henry raised his right hand in relief, and he commanded his knights.

"God's will, God's will~~~~." The assembled Saxon knights, spears raised, religious slogans shouted loudly, and morale boosted, these Saxon knights accompanied King Henry in his expeditions to the north and south, each of them died bravely, wearing chain mail and royal coats of arms, and kicking their horses in the crotch with gilded spurs on their heels. A hundred heavily armored knights acted at the same time. The horse's hooves made a thunderous sound as they trampled on the earth.

"The king is in action." Count Praun licked his parched lips, his blood boiling and burning him, the young count was hungry, but according to the vassal's decree. At the time when the Duke of Abel did not give the order. He could only stand still.

"It's a show." A smile tugged at the corner of Arold's mouth. He didn't care whether the Count of Praun understood it or not, it was a show by the king of East Francia to the dukes and nobles of the Duchy of Mason, including Prince Otto. So the protagonist of this performance is the king, and the stage can't accommodate other people.

"Ah~~~." The viscous blood on the battle axe of the Danish king Banuk, everywhere he looked, he looked up at the sky, the sky that once seemed to be favored by the gods also turned gray, and the sound of weapons clashing and fighting was in his ears, and at this moment he felt the ground under his feet begin to tremble slightly.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the enemy's heavy cavalry is dispatched." Kreezer strode up to the Danish king Banuk, knowing that perhaps the southerners' infantry were vulnerable, but when the southerners mounted their horses, they were very difficult, and saw more than a hundred knights coming at them from the hillside.

"Let the raiding cavalry go out, and be sure to stop them." The Danish king Banuk also knew that the knights could not be allowed to rush over, and the Viking warriors who were divided into various parts of the battlefield could not form a shield formation that could resist the knights' charge, and a cavalry must be there to resist at this time, but deep down Banuk knew that the raiding cavalry could not resist the heavy cavalry at all.

"But in such confusion, I don't know where to go to find the raiders." Krezer looked up and saw the smoke and dust of war everywhere, and there were fighting figures everywhere, and it was impossible to find traces of the raiding cavalry here.

"Knight Charge~~~." When the Saxon knights harnessed their horses under their crotches, they could find the Viking warriors scattered around the battlefield with little to no special search, and as soon as they saw a brigade of Viking warriors, the knights rode their horses and charged, clenching their spears and stretching straight ahead, the roar of the horses on the ground was enough to terrify any enemy who stood in their way.

"Ah~~~." The Viking warriors who tried to form a shield array were overturned by the spears of the Saxon knights, the horse's hooves crushed their bones, and the furious horses broke through the shield array, just like the raging sea broke through an obstacle in front of them, and the knights continued to rush to the corner of the battlefield where there were Viking warriors, and the Viking warriors who were lured apart were as fragile as babies in the face of this powerful force.

"Lo and behold, the Vikings are in a rout." The Count of Praun looked at the Vikings who were scattered by the knights, and patted his saddle excitedly, as if he had won a great victory, and the cheers erupted in the camp of the East Francians on the hillside, and the dust settled under the command of King Henry of East France.

In front of the strong force of the Saxon knights, more than 2,000 Viking warriors were defeated, and most of the Viking warriors fled back to Schleisugburg, but many Viking warriors were captured by the Saxons, including the Danish king Banuk, who was chased by the Saxon knights when he retreated, and as a result, he stepped into the swamp in a panic, but was rescued by the Saxons, and he had to report his name in order to be rescued, thanks to the exquisite armor on Banuk's body, the Saxons believed.

"Woo, woo~~~~." The trombonist raised the trombone in his hand, the sound of the trombone echoed outside the king's tent, the nobles stood in two columns inside the tent, King Henry of East Francia and his heir, Prince Otto, waited for the Danish king Banuk, two Saxon knights grabbed Banuk's arm and escorted him into the king's tent, the Danish king was at this time wolf, his helmet had long been lost there, the iron scale armor on his body had fallen in many places, and his legs were covered with jet-black mud, Even the neat braids that are usually taken care of are messy, and it can be said that there is no king's demeanor.

"Are you sure this is the king of the Danes?" King Henry asked with a frown as he looked at Banuk, who was embarrassed by the wolf in front of him.

"I have people in my army who know the King of Denmark, and I ask His Majesty the King to allow me to summon her." Arold stood up and bowed to King Henry, and reported to him.

"Okay." King Henry nodded, and allowed Arold to summon Grace to the king's tent, and as soon as Grace entered the tent, he immediately recognized Banuk.

"That's right, this is King Banuk of Denmark." Grace said to the king and the nobles in the tent, and Banuk looked at Grace in surprise, he did not expect that Grace was still alive and had taken refuge in the Masons, and he was immediately annoyed.

"Abominable Grace, may the gods curse you so that your soul cannot reach the temple of God Odin." The thunderous Banuk cursed angrily, and the Saxon knights next to him thought he was going to resist, so they immediately drew their swords and slammed the hilt of their swords on his back, forcing Banuk to his knees on one knee, and he panted and tried to raise his head.

"Your Majesty, we should put this abominable heretic to death." The Duke of Abel built a road to King Henry.

"Yes, hang him."

"No, let's burn at the stake, there's nothing more appropriate to deal with heretics than to burn them at the stake." The nobles came up with ideas one after another, and their faces showed gloating expressions, among which the Mason nobles worked the hardest, after all, they suffered a lot at the hands of the Danish king Banuk.

"No, if he is the king, then the king cannot kill the king." But Henry, King of East Francia, shook his head and said to the nobles in the tent.

"Your Majesty, this is a pagan, and the king of the pagan is not blessed." There are bishops of the Duchy of Saxony who expressed the difference in the opinion of Catholics that pagan kings are no different from pagans.

"No, I'm going to let him go." King Henry seemed to feel that his words were not surprising enough, and even pointed his finger at the kneeling Danish king Banuk, so ordered, and the nobles in the tent looked at each other after listening to his words, and even Arold did not expect Henry to make such a decision.

"You will regret your decision, and I will return to the Isles of Sealand to gather warriors to fight you again." But the released Danish king Banuk showed no mercy and swore an oath to the East Franconian nobles in the tent.

"Damn brute." Hearing the translated threat from Banuk, the East Frankish nobles were enraged, and they drew their swords one after another, intending to slaughter the Danish king Banuk on the spot, perhaps this was what the proud Banuk said in order to provoke the crowd.

"Stop, King of the Danes, I'll let you go, and I'll be there if you want to fight again." King Henry raised his hand to stop the nobles, and he said to King Banuk of Denmark without fear.

"In return for the threat you just made to my men, I would also like to tell you one thing, your island of Sealand is now under attack by my fleet and soldiers, and may have fallen into my hands, so if you want to fight again, you may need to move to a further place." Arold said to King Banuk of Denmark.

"What?" Danish King Banuk was stunned on the spot, he thought that there was something wrong with his ears, but looking at Arrod's eyes, he knew that this was the real thing, he originally thought that Arold had no spare strength at all, so he did not take much precautions against the Sealand Islands in the sea, it can be said that his lair is empty, if it is attacked, then it can only be slaughtered, but in any case, Banouk can't figure out that Arold has an army from there.
