047. Hands-on (4000 words)

At this moment, when Ossea's mind was in turmoil, Bran soothed her for a while, and then picked Oshaya up.

Half struggling, half submissive, Otasia was carried to the bed by Bran.

"We're not officially married yet, and I don't want to be ......like this all the time"

"Obey your heart, you like me too, Otya."

"Me!"

Before leaving, the two lingered together, and only after they could no longer stay did Bran leave.

This time, where he had personally selected fifteen men to take to the well, Bran first asked Dursley, and some of the young soldiers he had known during his time at the castle.

These people selected by Bran are firstly okay in character, and secondly, they have no roots, and they are all people recruited from border villages or vagrants, beggars, and serfs.

Since these people have no family burden and are alone, they don't have much to give up this land, and they can wash their brains.

Another point is that these are soldiers who Bran had helped and had some kindness to them during the battle.

Feeding them, and even showing to them what little knowledge they knew, the young men adored Bran.

The day before his departure, Bran summoned the fifteen men and said to them, "Tomorrow is a new mission, and it is very risky, so you should protect yourselves. Today I will make your life more enjoyable, and you don't have to eat or drink anything you want. ”

"My lord, what is the mission?"

"Didn't you say a truce? The banquet was held for three days. ”

"Hmph, what's the use of having a banquet, we didn't even eat a single bone, it was all snatched by the Vikings and their guards. During this time, we also helped the city to harvest wheat, grind bread, and even cut wood for iron......"

"Don't talk nonsense......"

"Lord Bran and Master Desley are different, and they are very considerate of us, and it would be great if we could lead us all the time and live in this town, and I will be a farmer here and a wife for the rest of my life......'

Bran's image in the hearts of these people has always been easy-going, hearty and generous, and they don't care when they talk at the moment.

"Let you eat something good."

The meeting place was a large tent outside the fort, which was dedicated to the storage of miscellaneous items.

There was no clutter at the moment, and all fifteen people were crammed, but then it was very crowded.

Arno arrived with a carriage.

"Go out and bring all the things in the wagons to the tents."

When these soldiers went out to take a look, they thought it was sword armor, but they didn't expect it to be all fragrant and steamy food.

Salted grilled ham, swan meat, sausages, meatloaf, and even ale in a water bag.

The portion of food is enough for a meal of fifteen people.

Bran casually took a goose leg and looked at Arnold's eyes, Arnold said that he had tested the poison.

Bran took a bite, and the sound of the flesh being torn apart by the teeth sent tremors through the hearts of the soldiers.

"It's okay, it's been baked for a long time."

"My lord, this is really for us!" And the waters of the people flowed out.

Bran nodded, and gave the endless roasted leg to one of them.

Giving food from above to below is considered a friendly means.

Bran sat down and watched them eat and drink, and halfway through the meal, Bran asked, "Do you want to eat this food often?"

"My lord, I think about it in my dreams."

"Before I came here, the best thing I had ever eaten was half white and half yellow bread, and that little piece of bread was the most delicious food of my childhood."

"Haha, then I'm better than you, and I've eaten meat."

"I can take you to Venice, to Italy, even to Rome. Do you want to go?" Bran interjected.

These places are rich places where the rich stay in oil, and the soldiers stuff their mouths with meat, while asking how to get there.

"Just follow me, and tomorrow I want you to raise your sword and cut off the heads of those Vikings."

As soon as he said this, the soldiers put down their food and stared at Bran with wide eyes.

"I'm afraid, weren't you still angry with them just now? When they insulted the women of the city, did you clench your fists? Now you have heard that you will cut off their heads, but you are faint. ”

"But my lord, he is our friend, and they have brought hundreds of men, more than we are. Can't beat it. ”

"These northern barbarians believe in polytheism, and the mountains, rivers, and spirit totems are their gods, not the righteous gods of the Light Cross at all. And besides, in just a few days, what they did to us allies and the towns we tried to defend as much as we could. If you are not blind, you know that they are more than the invaders Schwabian. ”

Bran pulled out something, a statue of a puppet.

This is an image of a warrior, from Byzantium, and is considered one of the artefacts. The carving is exquisite.

Bran asked the crowd to take a look, "You know what this is?"

When everyone saw the sword and armor, they all said that this was a knight nobleman, or a lord.

"No, this is their god of war, they carry the totem of the alien god with them, they have violated the doctrine of light, and they also hide a witch, and they are in the fortress every day, casting spells on you, to influence your piety, and make you fall into hell."

Bran's words were outrageous, and the soldiers thought it was incredible.

Bran called out to Arnold, and Arnold led a woman in.

The woman's face was ordinary, her figure was moderate, but she was dressed as black as a crow, and her face, hands and feet were covered with strange patterns, and her lips were blood-red when they were full, which made people frightened when they saw it.

The soldiers whispered.

"My lord, this is a witch?"

"That's right, I found him in my room, secretly keeping a cursed object. When I asked, I found out about their vicious plans. “

"Phew, you bastard...... The great God Odin has given me divine revelation, I am immortal, and you people have been cursed by me, and you will soon become undead and go to hell forever......"

It gives people goosebumps when it comes to faith, especially these soldiers, who have no experience at all, and in their hearts, heretical witches, are one of the most terrible things in the world.

"You know now? The Vikings, and the men they brought with them, are heretics and have been assimilated by the Dark Arts, and tomorrow they will break the armistice and take a fortress already occupied by the Swabians to create conflict. If you then abandon this city and leave the responsibility to the defenders of this town, that is, you, who will destroy all the good things in this kingdom wherever they go, shouldn't you, as believers of the light, future crusaders, intervene?"

"But my lord, since you know their plan, why don't you stop it first?"

"How to stop it, they haven't done it yet, we have prepared our weapons, and tomorrow we will go to ambush, if they really do these shameless things, we will send divine punishment on God."

Bran looked at the witch again, "The so-called god of immortality, in the wrath of God, is just a joke. “

Bran took out an ancient and broken holy book, recited the holy scriptures, and then the black witch, who was actually a prostitute and was bought by Bran, began to scream very loudly, and then Bran even emitted holy light.

This is naturally not some supernatural now, nor is it divine revelation.

All thanks to the Seven Star Sword.

There is a light stone in the repair ingredient of the Seven Star Sword, as long as it is sharpened with a strong sword grinding stone, some fine powder will fall.

The powder is dipped in oil, allowed to solidify, and then roasted over the fire for a while, and it becomes a stone that can emit light, which is much larger than the light of a firefly, but will fade after a day or two.

Bran was wearing a thin, almost white garment, and the color of the light was shining through.

Holding the cross and the holy scriptures, this picture is very similar to the picture of the priest expelling evil, and the chicken legs held by the soldiers who watched them fell off.

Quickly kneel down and confess to Bran for the sins that have occurred in this life.

The witch had just gotten out of Arnold's bed, put on strange makeup, and then performed according to the script.

Bran was very satisfied with this result, and finally asked Arno to carry the fainted witch to the carriage, and Bran did not care what the two would do in the carriage after that.

The witch received a sum of money, and of course she was placed under house arrest until the matter was over.

Bran then said to the people, "lest the rumors be heard, and all of you will kneel down today and swear that you will cast out evil and that tomorrow you will join me in executing the sword of justice." ”

After the oaths were made, Bran gave each of them a bag of copper coins, and declared that if they succeeded tomorrow, there would be a reward.

Faith, interests, honor, all these things are added together, and these people are greatly couraged.

Bran watched over the men and slept all night, and the next day, when the men sent out by Biguel and Desley were already in action.

Bran split up with Desley's troops, and he himself went to the well to support the ambush, while Desley remained in the castle.

Desley and his trusters will strike first against the three Vikings left behind, as well as some of the soldiers sent by the palace ministers that may not be able to grasp them.

It was very easy to hurt them, and while it was time to eat at noon, Dursley gathered some people, and then closed the gate, and he did not go in, and the six arranged crossbowmen and archers set up their long-range weapons in the window, and then sent them out, and after three rounds of fire, the gate was opened again, and only five people were still active.

Desley took the lead in defeating these people, and asked his men to go up with one sword and one sword, becoming accomplices, turning the entire restaurant into a morgue.

These men were then killed for their participation in the assault on the foreign fortress.

As for Bran, he had the fifteen men bring enough tools with him.

The arrows were soaked in hot oil, ready to be used to purify the Vikings.

Among the fifteen people in Branjan, they can ride horses, a total of eight people, and those who do not have horses can ride double to improve mobility.

They stood guard outside the well and watched as the sixty men sent out successfully entered the well and disappeared without a trace.

The subordinate asked, "My lord, now?"

"Raise your spirits, wait quietly, and wait for them to come up."

The moonlight tonight is very red, as if it is a bloody scene that is about to come.

After tonight, Bran wants to rob the fortress of all its belongings and take control of the fortress where he is located.

An hour, two hours passed, and the fifteen people except Bran were waiting for a little sleep.

Bran stepped forward and gave everyone a kick to cheer them up.

After drilling directly into the enemy fortress, it was just time to have dinner and prepare for bed.

Most of the defenders of the fortress had been evacuated, and the man in charge of guarding it was a young and inexperienced knight.

There were many soldiers killed in the Swabian war, and the newly conquered land needed to be governed, and those knights who had manor fiefdoms, and even landless knights, were sent to serve as sheriffs and administrators.

This knight didn't have much merit on the battlefield, borrowed some money, got together a set of old knight equipment, and took four servant soldiers, belonging to Emily's banner, the last expedition, he was wounded but not killed, so he was sent to escort supplies, and after sending it here, it was intended to be used as a warehouse.

Unexpectedly, there was a truce then, and after transporting more than half of the supplies, there was still a lot left, and while he could still enjoy it, this knight was also a little corrupt.

After hearing the armistice order, he quickly relaxed his guard, and as soon as the sun went down, he hid in his room and had fun with the maid.

It hasn't come out yet.

As for the soldiers on guard, they also chatted boringly, and the towers on the heights did not report anomalies, and they even dozed off at night sentry.

At this moment, the knight, unaware of the imminent death, was still humming a Swabian tune in the room.

Thinking about this expedition, I have earned a lot of gold coins, and after going to the manor, I can build a windmill, a bakery or something.

The door was pushed open, and the knight thought it was a servant who had brought food or was about to come in and pack up. Didn't get up and look up.

"Big ..... People!"

"Your Excellency, ......!"

Once or twice, the young knight adjusted his posture and was about to turn over.

A sword slashed off his head.

The fast ones don't have the slightest chance to see the murderer clearly.

The Viking sword is indeed sharp.

Viking Finland, Sweden and other places produce the world's best iron ore, and the Viking sword has always been a very expensive military weapon.

The headless body first burst out a little bit of blood, and then accelerated out.

The maid on the bed, who was undressed, fainted in fright.

"I'll come back and have fun with you later."

Kunduff, who licked the blood from the knife, searched the room once, and found a pot of coins hidden under the bed, and when he opened it, he saw bright silver coins and a dozen foreign gold coins.

Kundaf laughed and said, "Tonight is our day of revelry, inside the fortress, don't let me go of the living creatures, bring everything back to Biguel, the south is indeed rich, in a few years we will fight back with Lord Lonnal, take back our homeland, and make Lord Ronnar the only king among the Vikings!"

This fortress is penetrated from the inside, only waiting for death, Kundaf's group of people wearing masks, covering their faces to death, they don't know who is attacking, but now that they have just ceased war with the Bavarians, they must be making trouble.

After coming back to his senses, he also put up a resistance, and even used the castle mechanism, but he still couldn't hold it.

But some of the fish escaped and headed for the nearest Schwarn.
