Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Journey of Destiny
England Avalon
The battle between the Red Dragon and the Red Dragon, a fierce battle erupted over the island of Avalon.
On one side is the Eternal King of Britain, and on the other side is William the Conqueror.
Between the fifty-meter red dragon and the hundred-meter red dragon, flames spewed in the sky, earth-shattering sounds, and the aftermath of a random battle alone was able to inflict heavy losses on the entire Norman fleet.
This is four thousand meters in the sky, looking down, the Normandy fleet is so small, in front of it is the British Isles, and the red dragon's eyes can only see the red dragon with a length of 100 meters.
His strength became stronger and stronger, and he had even been promoted to the fourth rank before he had even ascended the throne of the king, which had to make him feel that he belonged to his manifest destiny.
The sky was covered with a dazzling white light, a scene of hell like a thunderstorm, thunder and lightning, and a miracle belonging to the gods.
"Odin!"
"Thor!"
The soldiers of the Normandy fleet could not see clearly in the thunderstorm in the sky, and the Holy Cross flag in Michael called out the names of "Odin" and "Thor".
The Normans, or the Vikings and Danes, although they invaded the Normandy region of France, established their own state, and obtained the title of duke by submitting to the French king on the condition of converting to Christianity, all the Normans disguised themselves as "French", ostensibly believing in God, but in fact once exposed to the thunderstorms formed by the storm, the belief in the Norse gods immediately overrode the belief in God.
Countless thunderbolts were surging wildly, and the originally scattered clouds were gathering rapidly, because of the battle between the red dragon and the red dragon, the magic that filled the entire heaven and earth made the storm clouds gather over, and the extra-large tornado also set off huge wind waves, showing its power.
The third order still belongs to the category of human beings, even if they are called demigod heroes, they are still human beings, and the night of the fourth order
has stepped into the realm of immortals.
So it was a power that could change the world, and the Norman warriors were shivering on their knees, and no one knew what a terrible storm could have been for these Vikings, whose fathers were Vikings, and it was a great maritime disaster that "Odin's wrath" could bury an entire fleet.
"Idiot, idiot, utter idiot, I'm going to hang you!"
The dragon incarnated by Duke William was furious, and his eyes were about to erupt with flames, as if he wanted to eat people.
Michael's Holy Cross flag was there, and it would have sheltered the entire fleet, but this shelter was conditional, and Michael had sheltered his own followers, not infidels.
In front of Michael's Holy Cross flag, calling Odin's name is simply looking for death.
Duke William wanted to return to his fleet, but the red dragon incarnated by King Arthur opened his mouth.
Rumble!
The sky, which had been dark due to the dark clouds, became even darker and darker after the massive magic gathered, and it was an absolute darkness that made people feel hopeless.
The light is gone, and darkness descends on the English Channel.
A huge lightning bolt formed a thunderball and suddenly appeared, and the unparalleled electric light gathered in this small thunderball, containing a huge power visible to the naked eye, and this small thunderball became the only light in this world.
The Dragon Duke was struck in the body by the lightning struck by King Arthur, and the thunder and lightning that spanned the entire sky shocked the entire British Isles.
The evil dragon fell to the ground of Avalon, life and death were unknown, countless people woke up from their dreams, feeling this amazing and huge power, and King Harold of England stroked his throne full of heart palpitations.
If it were an ordinary person, they might think that this was an ordinary lightning and thunder, but it was just a little louder, but Harold, as a king, understood that this was a divine power from the fourth order or above, and this was a terrifying power that made people feel desperate.
"William, are you finally here?"
King Harold muttered as he came out of his chamber, and saw the Speaker of the Council of the Magi, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the head of the Church of England, leading the nobles of the Council of the Magi.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is the Archbishop of England and has been the Archbishop of Canterbury for the coronation of successive kings.
In 596, Pope Gregory I, who was keen on missionary work, saw two Anglo slaves in the market in Rome and asked them who they were, to which they replied that they were "Angles", and the pope said, "Not Angles, but angels." ”
Great Britain was a colony of the Roman Empire, and after Charlemagne received the Emperor's crown, Britain was once again a forgotten colony of Charlemagne's Frankish kingdom.
The Pope sent Bishop Augustine to England, and Augustine led 40 monks from the monastery to England.
Augustine's mission was successful, not only converting the King of England to Christianity, but also acquiring a piece of land in Canterbury as a church, and Augustine became the first Archbishop of Canterbury, for which he was canonized.
Harold was jealous of the Archbishop of Canterbury, because after King Edward's death, Harold gathered his henchmen and accepted the crown from them, without waiting for the free deliberations of the National Council and without consulting the decisions of the National Council. Harold was crowned at York Minster, officially crowned King of England.
Although the Archbishop of Canterbury was compensated by the position of Speaker of the Council of the Magi, acquiescing in the legitimacy of his coronation, the Archbishop of Canterbury may not have a problem with his succession.
After all, the power to crown the king as the Archbishop of Canterbury, King Arthur's accession to the throne was also presided over by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
"Archbishop, is there something you are here for?"
Harold had a bad tone in his tone, if it weren't for the fact that none of the nobles led by the archbishop were armed, otherwise he could have regarded this as a forced palace.
His father Godwin (Earl of Wessex) was a high-ranking minister in the era of Canute the Great, and because of his opposition to the restoration of King Edward the Confessor, it was difficult for Edward to inherit the throne in Normandy, until Edward married the daughter of Earl Godwin, and his attitude was relented.
During the reign of Cnut the Great, the kingdoms of England were divided into four counts, namely the Earls of Wessex, the Earls of Mercia, the Counts of East Anglo, and the Earls of Northumberland.
His sister was Edward's queen, who inherited his father's title and the Earl of Wessex, Northumberland was in the hands of his brother-in-law Mocha, and his brother-in-law Edwin was in Mercia, his father was a vassal of King Edward, and he himself was the leader of the Council of the Magi, the chief minister of England, and because of his Anglo-Saxon status, he was supported by the people of England.
In a sense, his becoming king was also God's manifest destiny.
"Your Majesty, the 15,000 troops of the King of Norway have begun to land, according to the astrologers' observations, the 12,000 troops of the Duke of Normandy William are being held back in the storm and thunderstorm, and the army of the Duke of Brittany is also in the midst of the storm, but they are contacting the Irish and Scots, and your situation is very difficult."
The Archbishop of Canterbury said slowly, causing King Harold's face to change color slightly, and the current situation was completely surrounded by wolves.
The Kingdom of Norway was the most powerful kingdom in Northern Europe after Denmark, and the Norman principalities were also formidable enemies, such as the Vikings in French vests, and even a widow who married Robert, Duke of Normandy, to avoid Normandy intervention.
The Duke of Brittany, a country founded by the Celts in France, came to the land of Gaul and established the Duchy of Brittany because of the Anglo-Saxon invasion.
Although the Duke of Normandy is like a vassal of the French king, the strength of the Duke of Normandy is stronger than that of the French king, and the Duke of Brittany is also like a vassal of the French king, but if the relationship is not good, he will turn his face and claim the king at any time, and the relationship between them is very delicate.
"So does the archbishop have any opinions?" King Harold asked.
"Your Majesty, you need an ally, an ally who can help you." The Archbishop of Canterbury said subtly.
"Who is qualified to be my ally."
"William, Earl of Avalon, Your Majesty."
"Avalon, isn't it a place of legend?" King Harold couldn't help but chuckle, but the archbishop's expression remained serious.
"This earl, who has made a claim to the throne of England, is of course willing to be your crown prince (heir) as your ally."
The Archbishop of Canterbury said solemnly, and King Harold's smile instantly retracted.
Whether it is a strong claim or a weak claim, the most important thing is to rely on strength, although it is easy to inherit the throne with a strong claim, but a weak claim can also inherit the throne, and of course it is not meaningless to claim the throne with sufficient legitimacy.
Later, the Ottoman Turks conquered Jerusalem and successfully conquered Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Rome), and then successive Ottoman sultans considered themselves to be the legitimate Roman emperors, Roman sultans, who were supposed to rule the whole of Europe.
The Holy Roman Emperor was a puppet regime that usurped the throne of the Roman Emperor, and was therefore inseparable from the Spanish-Habsburg empire, the first empire on which the sun never set.
In the end, no one was pleased, and the war between the Ottoman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire that they considered themselves orthodox caused by each other cost both sides a great deal of national strength and eventually lost their hegemony.
"How many people are there?" Harold asked, thinking in his heart that he would get rid of these opponents, and then come to clean up his "prince".
Unloading the mill to kill the donkey, betraying the allies, could not have been more skilled for the English.
"He has no one, but he has money, and as long as His Majesty defeats Duke William, he is willing to give His Majesty 100,000 pounds of Danish gold."
