Chapter 5 Heads

After spending a few hours quickly bringing the situation under control, Egil examined his share of the loot. A human head - it had been on the neck of Prince Olaf. There are also precious metals worth about 20,000 gold coins, as well as some works of art whose value is immeasurable for the time being, as well as goods such as grain, weapons, and cloth.

Aarhus is also the capital of a country. Egil had a pretty good harvest at this point. However, the situation in the Deland Peninsula did not satisfy him. First of all, the climate here is very general, the same icy cold, which is not suitable for large quantities of fertility. Second, the land here...... Reluctantly. Egil, after examining the land around Aarhus, came to this conclusion. It doesn't seem to be much different from Norway, but to be honest, it's not very suitable for farming. It's just a little better than Norway. In fact, at least half of Norway's food source comes from the North Sea. The land of Northern Europe really doesn't support too many people.

Therefore, although the Vikings had the combat power of a bunker, as well as a strong seafaring power. Raiding everywhere but still not being able to become a powerful race in Europe. In the final analysis, the output of land is too small and the number of people is too small.

In fact, before Egil used the system to reform the Norwegian agricultural system, Norwegians had been living a half-starved life, and it was easy to hang up due to hunger and cold during the New Year's holidays. On the other hand, the Norsemen were forced out to be pirates.

But then again, in this medical technology is not so developed. C-section was forced out except for the era when no one had done it except Hua Tuo.

Above.

Under Egil's iron-clad policy, Aarhus Central Square was originally a good place for unlicensed traders and vendors to set up their stalls. By this time, it had become a terrifying scene like hell. Eight hundred defenders of Aarhus, including Prince Olaf, had their heads cut off, hung high on four-meter-long spears, and inserted into the square.

So, the best way for a new ruler to proclaim his majesty to the new ruled is to instill fear. And the best way to instill fear is naturally the hideous head and dead expression of the previous ruler. Egir sat on the throne that originally belonged to the King of Denmark, and said to the system elves proudly.

"The last one feels very inconsistent. The system elf complained.

"Got it, I'll pay attention next time. "Egil seems to be quite happy, like most of the superiors, and if he is in a good mood, he doesn't bother with other people.

"But is that really good? It will be very detrimental to your future rule. "System Genie Reminder.

"Eh, do you still have this function?" said Egil, slightly surprised.

"It is also one of my tasks to remind the contractor of his mistakes. The system elf replied, "Also, do you want to die once?"

"I'm very sorry, but I was wrong. Egil relented. Then he explained to the system elves, "To be honest, I really don't have any intention of bringing the Sauran Peninsula under my rule - at least not yet. ”

"Oh?"

"So, Otto I, that guy can mobilize at least 200,000 of his army, and he himself is a battle-hardened ruler. The glory of the Holy Roman Empire is not something that I, a Norse barbarian, can shake. Egil said, "So, although the power I have at my disposal has expanded a lot. However, I still don't want to face the pressure directly. ”

"Timidity means that cowardice has to find so many reasons. You see that the other traversers are all trying to hit whomever they want, and which girl they want to and which girl they want. How can there be such a thing as you. ”

"So don't talk to me about those terrorists, okay? I'm also a young man who was educated in New China. How can you go around wreaking havoc like scum?"

"You go out and pull a random Dane and ask them what they think of you?"

"It must be Your Majesty's Wise Divine Martial Yushu Ling Feng, absolutely nothing else. Because to say anything else will be hanged. Egil said in a swaggering tone, completely shameless.

“...... Well, you win. ”

After plundering, massacing, burning, and destroying the entire peninsula, Egil hanged every Dane who dared to resist with extreme fervor. Then he learned from his wife's method and hung the body on both sides of the road. After confirming that all of Denmark was left with the walking dead and cowards and the stinking Danish annihilation, Egil completely abandoned the Landland Peninsula. A thousand men and a part of the navy were scattered and controlled on the scattered islands in the middle of the Öresund channel, the so-called Sealand region. After that, the main force of 23,000 troops went north again, and it took a day to land from the military docks in Oslo.

Immediately afterward, the offensive and defensive momentum changed in an instant. The Danes, who had already had a failed experience, naturally knew what was happening now. A closer look at the heads of the people who are dropped from the city of Oslo every day can be seen. It's a little fool from the third grandson of the second grandson of a certain family.

Denmark has completely fallen. It's like a pleasant goat delivered to the wolf's mouth, which was skinned and chopped and thrown into the pot, and then the bone residue and insulin were gnawed away......

That's it.

By the time Egil appeared at the head of Oslo, the morale of the Danish army had dropped to the bottom. Although Margrethe I still forcibly endured to stabilize the morale of the army. And the old queen's own ability is also quite good, and she can barely hold the scene. But...... It's just barely holding on. Margrethe I understood well. At this time, as soon as the gates of Oslo are opened, a troop of cavalry runs out - not too many, a few hundred people. Then the Danish army of tens of thousands had to collapse at once.

Thinking of this, Margrethe I gritted her teeth and stood up directly despite the dissuasion of the Danish noble knights next to her.

"I am Queen Margrethe I of Denmark. King Egil I of Norway please come out and speak!"

Egir chuckled, and saw the old queen of the city with angry eyes and no fear. Knowing this, the scene couldn't scare her. He replied, "I am Egil." As for the king of Norway...... His Majesty is wrong. My current honorific title is King Norman, make no mistake about it. ”

"Hmph......" the Danish queen snorted coldly in disdain, "It's just your delusion—after all, you're just a barbarian from northern Norway." What qualifications do you have to call yourself a Norman co-master?!"

"Hmm......" Egil knocked his teeth, "because I have many soldiers, my territory is large, and the most important thing is that you can't beat me." That's enough, right?"

"You-" Margaret I had never seen such a superb figure as Egil. When people asked him what virtue he could do, he didn't talk about virtue, but directly preached the theory that "labor and management have a relatively large fist, so labor and management are the bosses". That's exactly true - but at least add a fig leaf, bastard!

"Alright, well, Her Majesty be at ease. Calm down. Egil seemed to have lost interest in continuing the conversation, feeling a little bored - the Queen of Denmark was not a beauty. It's really not interesting to talk to her: "The current situation is not something that can be solved by a few people, with a few words or a pen - or, Your Majesty, do you think you Danes are still capable of continuing to fight me?"

"We Danes will not give in!"

"I dug up the seawall and then drenched the whole land outside Aarhus. ”

Egil said this abruptly.

"Destroyed most of the arable land in the entire Tereland. ”

“...... You-you madman--impossible, absolutely-"

After suddenly hearing such terrible news, Rao is Margaret I was mentally tough, and it was also said that his heart was flustered. If it is really like what Egil said, then most of the arable land of the entire Deland Peninsula has suddenly become saline. This, this, this...... Isn't this pushing the Danes to their death?!

"Also, here's a gift for you. Immediately afterwards, Egil at the head of the city snapped his fingers, and immediately behind him a knight of the guard presented a wooden box. After opening it, Egil grabbed the hair of the air-dried human head and threw it down.

"Your son!

At this moment, the world has not yet invented such things as televisions and computers, and there are very few books, newspapers and magazines. If you can find a tattered Bible in an ordinary aristocratic family, you are already an ancestor. Therefore, the average vision of people in this world, except that many people have night blindness when it is dark, is much better than the world that Egil originally carried. So......

"Olaf ?!!!"

Seeing the tragic death of her beloved son, Margrethe I finally couldn't help crying, and her tense nerves were broken at once, and then she rolled her eyes and fainted.

Immediately afterward, there was an uproar in the entire Danish army. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the gates of Oslo were opened. A large number of heavily armored cavalry rushed out along the drawbridge. The Danish army completely collapsed......

Three days later, the Danes submitted completely. A very humiliating treaty of submission was signed with Egil, in which the Danes ceded all the islands of the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, mainly from Zealand. and renounced the title of king, and honored Egil as king. Although it still retains autonomy and the title of principality. But Theory Hill had been incorporated into the Norman kingdom. The Duchy of Denmark also followed Egil's "well-intentioned" advice. With the aristocratic parliament as a political entity, the new Duke of Denmark was nothing more than a puppet on the table. At this point, the problem of Denmark is solved. The Danes were constantly fleeing due to the barren land, and the political division left the country in political chaos, and there was no longer the ability to compete for the hegemony of Northern Europe......
