Section 183 Viking Conference (2nd Watch)
When the King of Denmark had dealt with the two Vikings fighting with his fist, the noise in the hall that could not be heard even by tearing their throats finally stopped, and they knew that the formal meeting had begun, so the Viking chiefs put down their glasses and pushed away the cat-like cat-like maid in their arms, and although they did not move their seats, they were by no means the unruly manner they had just been.
"Good." The King of Denmark looked at the unruly pirate chieftains and vassals with satisfaction, and they were still subject to his authority, and he took a few steps to his seat in the lord's place in the hall, and removed the bulky high-backed chair, which had belonged to a Scottish lord, and was made of fir wood, which was a gift from a pirate who wished to be protected by him, and there were blood spots on the feet of the chair when the seat was placed here.
"Your Majesty, what is the matter with you summoning us here?" Which Viking leader from the island called himself the dragon king, Aldrich touched the thick golden beard of his chin, and he asked the king of Denmark, which everyone wanted to know.
"Well, Aldrich, how was your harvest last year?" The King of Denmark did not answer directly, but asked Aldrich.
"It's not good, the cold snap blowing from the northern pole has caused a lot of wheat deaths, if it weren't for the robbery of a merchant ship loaded with goods, I don't know how many people in my territory would have died, and my mother would have to strangle a few children." Aldrich shook his head and told the Danish king that the Vikings were generally poor, that the barren land needed to feed their families, and that all the physical and mental devotion was only a struggle on the poverty line.
"What about you. What do you think? The Danish king took an apple from his plate on the table, cut a piece with a knife, put it in his mouth, and then pointed to the others.
"Awful." The other Viking chieftains and pirates shook their heads, and some of them had already taken another sip of wine in their glasses, and it seemed that they were having a hard time.
"Krazer sues them, you know." The Danish King leaned back in his seat in satisfaction and shouted to Kreze.
At this time, the other Vikings looked at the Norwegian who was sitting next to their king, and they had been speculating about Krezer's identity, but because Krezer was not very famous. So no one is interested in this either. At most, it was a relative or guest of the King of Denmark, and it was normal for the hospitable Vikings to have guests from afar to attend a banquet.
"Chiefs, there is no need for us to remain trapped in our own narrow and barren lands, and Odin's warriors and people deserve better land and wealth." Kreizer knew what these people liked to hear. He stood up and spoke loudly to the other Vikings. His tall stature and sonorous voice make him stand out. The other Viking leaders couldn't help but be attracted to him.
When Kratzer finished describing the opulence of Mecklenburg in the Southern Territory, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and even a hair seemed to be audible when it fell. Only the crackling of the campfire, and the whistling of the north outside the house.
"Hahaha, hahaha." Suddenly one of the Vikings burst into a wild laugh, followed by the others, the sound almost toppling the roof, which made Krazer frown, and the Danish king touched his chin and braided beard, with an unfathomable look.
"What do I think you're going to say about robbing the Baltic coast?"
"Hairy boy, if this is the case, it is better to cross the sea and rob the English." The Viking leaders shook their heads, picked up their glasses and drank their wines, and refused to look at Kreezer again, they felt that this uninformed boy was really crazy, that Slavic land, which was not much stronger than the Scannes, was once the first area where the Vikings attacked and looted, but gradually because there was really nothing to be strong, and the Slavs were not easy to be strong, and they did not get the necessary return for their efforts, so there were clever Vikings who began to cross the sea to the British Isles and sack the monasteries.
Compared to the equally aggressive Slavs, the monastic monks who did not resist at all and regarded them as God-sanctioned were as docile as lambs in the monastery, and the monastery was rich in food, wealth, and gold and silverware, and when the first Vikings brought back a bountiful booty, the sacking of the British Isles began.
However, after being attacked by the Vikings for the first time, the lords of the British Isles also began to be vigilant and guard against the Vikings, which also caused them to feel more and more difficult to rob, but now a hairy boy actually said that he would rob the territory of the Slavs again, which couldn't help but make them feel ridiculous.
"The present county of Mecklenburg is different from what it used to be, when a Germanic nobleman conquered the county, the present county of Mecklenburg has been ruled by him as a very rich province, I see the endless flow of merchants, I see the fruitful crops growing in the farms, and the rich people in the towns and ports, we should not give up this almost, and gather to attack the county of Mecklenburg, it will surely make us live comfortably for a few years, with a large number of slaves and treasures, which is the will of the god Odin." Krazer called out, but the crowd remained silent, they didn't believe him at all.
"You have to show evidence, not rhetoric, you know it takes us months to prepare for an attack, and men can barely do anything for that time, so we can't keep letting women do the farm work for us." Aldrich, the island lord who proclaimed himself the Dragon King, stood up, spread his hands and said loudly to Kraser, the other Viking leaders nodded one after another, this is a truth, if you don't do more work in spring and summer, do you want to let autumn get nothing, and starve to death in winter?
"What evidence do you want?" Krezer asked.
"Unless you plunder from Mecklenburg and bring back a treasure that amazes us, then we can believe it's true." Aldrich said loudly, not enough This requirement is very harsh, everyone knows where the Slavs are not easy to mess with, if you rashly lead troops to rob, it is very likely that not only will not succeed in the robbery, but will pay yourself in.
"I agree, I will personally lead a raid party of a small number of warriors to Mecklenburg County and bring back the evidence you want." Kratzer said word for word. (To be continued......)
