In the small room, Ichisu was sweating profusely, and if he hadn't been attacked by the leader, he would never have wanted to be a leader in his life.

He felt that Bran was a terrible leader.

"Let me ask you, among the Rus' you have brought, are there any of your close relatives, or do you have to protect them?"

Ichsu thought about it and found that these people were all recruited by themselves along the road, from different Rus' regions, and even had different beliefs, some were polytheists of the forest, some believed in Odin, some were Orthodox Christians (such as themselves), and some swore to Odin...... There is also a group of people.

Recently, because of the turmoil in the steppe, he fled to Kievan Rus'.

This group of people can speak the Slavic language, but the accent is a little strange, and they are always immortal......

Ichisu didn't know why Bran asked, he just watched.

Bran continued, "That knight of the court has been to the peninsula just now, so he can speak Italian, so why can you speak to me in this language?"

"I once had a woman who bought a woman from the Peninsula and I liked her a lot."

"Have you ever been to the Peninsula?"

"No, I have heard, the kingdom of your God is closest to it, but my God is in the south-east, in the holy place where the Patriarch is." Ichisu recited an Orthodox prayer, which Bran did not understand.

"Kneel down and pledge your allegiance to me, and I will spare you."

"You want me to be converted?"

"You can keep your faith, but if you take me to find the black dragon, the head of the 'White Deer' will come to you immediately, and you have brought people, since they have nothing to do with you, then I will only keep you."

Ichisu was about to say something, but Bran interrupted him.

"Look at your hands and face, full of scars, maybe in another twenty years, you will still live like this, horse thief, chieftain, lord of the tribe, or return to Rus as a nobleman?

Do you want to have the right to drive people to die for you?"

"I'm going to drive hundreds of people to do things for me right now." Ichisu retorted.

When he wanted to say something, Bran didn't give him a chance.

"It's all a rabble, and in the south, when the war is fought, it's tens of thousands. Pirates, bandits, mercenary groups, and lords of various countries are like writing their legends in this troubled era, which is what a man should do.

You can drive more, a village, a county, or even a country. ”

The more Bran spoke, the more outrageous it became, and Ichisu let out a laugh, "Who are you when you are?"

"This is the Seven Star Sword, one of the five swords of heroes!"

The bell, the iron chain on Ichisu's body, was actually cut with a hard sound.

The affairs of the peninsula were too far for the Rus, but Ichsu had heard of the sword.

"The Sword of the White Dragon, I know."

I was flustered, but I still managed to keep my composure.

"I will change the world, and you will submit to me, and the pastures and pastures of the Rus' will one day bear your name, and your bronze statue will stand, and your face will be on local coins, and your words will be decrees."

"You say so passionately, how many people are there on the Peninsula? How many horses, how many boats? Do you know how many people it will take to take Kievan Rus?"

"Soon, my paper will reach the mainland, and my machine will bring countless riches, and ......"

Bran talks about some of the inventions that his craftsman Jonés is preparing to create after the successful launch of the printing press, but Ichisu doesn't understand, but he is also moved by what Bran says.

Bran revealed a scar on his chest, "This is the result of my fall into the water when I was wounded by a traitor." There are only a few retainers in my heart, and if you kneel and swear by my sword, you will soon be free and qualified to be my 'true' retainer. ”

"A 'real' retainer?"

"True retainers, I will avenge their hatred, I will give them wishes, we will go and take out the dragon treasure immediately, and then find the immortal bird."

Avenge! Bran had another image of Iron Mountain killing Jack.

The defeat of being killed by Bran, coupled with the appearance of the hero's five swords, Ichisu's mind was confused, and he faintly admired this enemy in his heart.

Strength plus interests, faintly with a surrender mentality emerged.

On this day, Bran did not go out of the room, he talked to Ichisu countless words, the girl was outside several times anxiously wanted to go in, but she was afraid that Bran would be angry, and faintly heard the movement, and was sure that it was Bran who was relieved.

She had a faint affection for this knight who claimed to be from the Franks.

The next morning, "Ichisu" died, and the body was carried out for everyone to see.

But in fact, Bran asked Ichisu to choose a group of people who were absolutely loyal to him, and Bran secretly released him.

Ichisu took these twenty veterans with him, and in one of the mountains and forests, he swore allegiance to the lord after the knights, and swore an oath to the lord.

The rest of the people who can't be saved, Bran has to hand them over to his friends.

First, the real Ichisu wore a mask and disguised, and chose a person of similar appearance and body to die.

Then there was the distribution of the spoils, and the appearance of the knight of the court gave Christian a reason to fight the Grand Duke, and at the same time, after seeing the corpse of "Ichisu", he angrily divided it into several pieces.

Bran was given a fortune and was allowed to recruit a group of unidentified duchy beggars to leave with the nomads, as a gesture of kindness from his friends.

Bran also asked the girl with short hair and pretending to be a young knight to come over and put her in charge of the purchases.

Since Ichisu's territory had been forced and instantly became homeless, and now in the principality because of Christian's troubles, the lords gathered together to hunt down the Rus, and they first hid in a village where Christian had recruited men for Bran to settle down.

And the unlucky earl, who had been waiting in the field for a long time, was caught by Frederick and others in the city when he was tired and rushed back to the main city territory.

Frederick only had wealth and horses.

The count's captive brother of the baron (not the same mother) wanted his father to see God sooner.

And he was willing to write a letter of wealth and give it to Freitrick.

In this way, the count died of illness, and Frederick took the wealth.

The new owner was on the family tree, and within a few days of the castle, everything had happened as if nothing had happened.

The wind of the times blows, and unless it goes to the highest, the footprints of an earl will only be erased if they are insignificant.

……

Bran counted the days every day, a month and a half into the Duchy of Debulle.

His local language "Magyars" has grown a lot, he is already smart, coupled with the improvement of the dragon's power to the body, his memory is getting better and better, and his current language level is equivalent to a person who has studied for a year.

The girl helped her with all the chores.

There is an advantage to using a woman, as long as you let her have you psychologically, it is completely you, she will treat you as a god and respect you as heaven.

Bran deliberately let the girl be in the mountains and forests, encountered danger twice, and came to the rescue.

And also told the girl that she would be relieved of her status as a sinner and restore her to a true nobleman.

Under all this brainwashing offensive, this short-haired girl took Bran's words as the will of the Lord.

Bran sent someone to find out the news from Desley, trained the beggar recruits, and conspired with Christian to continue to uproot the White Hart Thieves.

After robbing the earl, Frederick directly encircled a large section of the forest area that the principality could not control, got forty horses, and formed a light cavalry mobile team.

There is a faint gesture of replacing Ichisu.

He sent Upp to contact Christian, but not Bran, so Bran didn't know it was Freederi.

Just as Bran was talking to Christian about destroying this bandit group, Christian, who had received the tribute from the White Deer, didn't seem to care, and even said, "They have already shown their allegiance to me." ”

"But they have betrayed even the Earl who had sheltered them, and their integrity is worse than that of a thief."

But Christian added, "That's the count's stupidity, and I'm going to make them afraid." ”

Now Christian is a baron, with the same status as his father, but the two of them together have a larger territory than the earl.

People get too much in a short period of time, and they tend to become confident and proud, and he doesn't think much of Bran's proposal.

"Friend, I will give you time to recruit people and return to your hometown, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

Cobran had promised Ichisu that he would be loyal to him and would give him the opportunity to slash his enemies.

Without Christian's help, Bran was understaffed.

"How do you make Christian angry...... If you have it, let Ichisu reappear and disturb his territory, and then I will let out the wind again, and the white deer secretly accepted Ichisu, and the Iqisu who died that day was fake, so as to provoke Christian to take action. ”

So, the real Iqisu took the men and horses to secretly harass the village, and in less than two days, the news of the undead Iqisu came to the table of the new baron.

Bran was also listening to his friend's report.

A magistrate came to the castle and said to Christian, "Ichisu is not dead, he has even robbed a village." ”

There are actually too many doubts in this, but Christian, who has been drinking poppy wine for a long time to relieve pain, is now irritable and it is difficult to concentrate on thinking about why people are alive again.

"I'm going to meet Bailu." Christian Road.

But Bran objected, "Friend, you give me a batch of men, and I will help you, you have just obtained territorial compensation from the Grand Duke, and there are many other things, I will definitely help you deal with them." We have been in the monastery for several years, and if you know me, you will certainly do what you promise. ”

Bran then said to the sheriff of the village, "I will bring someone to help your village recover the damage, you can rest assured." ”

Bran has the merit of helping to eliminate the Rus, and is kind to people, during this time, whenever Christian drinks flower wine and abuses his subordinates, if Bran is there, he can often persuade two sentences and establish his prestige.

When the sheriff heard this, he also thanked Bran.

Eventually, Christian agreed, and asked Bran to check what White Deer wanted.

After taking this step, Bran immediately asked Ichisu to negotiate with him, and then sent a letter in Christian's name, asking Bailu to bring someone to a place to negotiate.

In order to buy time and go north quickly, Bran wrote on it that Bailu needed to send someone immediately after receiving the letter, otherwise the cooperation would be terminated.

Three days later the letter reached Frederick, and because of the coercion it it was so threatening, he had to send at once, probably two days away.

He sent Udp with twenty men and some gifts.

The location set up by Bran was an open plain, and on the day he sent the letter, he had already prepared in advance, and when he arrived at the plain, he took up a vantage point and set up scouts.

Waiting for the arrival of the white deer.

Early in the morning of the sixth day of the letter, Upu led his men and horses to the plain.

Behind Bran is the Principality Flag, and Upu is the White Deer Flag, seeing this White Deer Flag, Bran always thinks of Swabian and dislikes it.

Upu and the others wore masks, as did Ichisu and Bran, so they couldn't see what they looked like, and could only judge by their voices.

Upp speaks several languages, pretends to be a priest, and can also wield a sword.

He is now Freitrick's head of diplomacy, helping him with his affairs.

There were only twenty people who came.

Bran knew that he couldn't do it now, and he wasn't familiar with Upu's voice, so he whispered to Ichsu, who said, "The leader of the White Deer didn't come. ”

So, Bran asked the leading girl (wearing a mask armor) to pinch her voice and agree to meet next time to discuss important matters, and they were willing to give Freitrick shelter and a more fertile piece of land, but Freitrick would turn to the position of a mercenary and let himself be sent.

There were pros and cons to this matter, which stabilized Frederick.

……

At the beginning of July 1317.

After Bran's efforts and the release of all kinds of fake news, he finally wants to meet with Bailu.

The location is Bran pretending to be a hitch and wants to give the land to the white deer.

During this time, Freitrick and Bran were both developing, Federi had more than 200 people, Bran had the help of Ichisu and the girl, plus the help of his friends, he could command more than 100 private soldiers, and with the help of the formation, he could command nearly 600 people.

Six hundred to two hundred, the advantage is mine.

Bran had already decided that after this battle, no matter how many people were left, he would immediately go north.

This is not his hometown, he can't see the sea, he can't smell the salty sea breeze, everyone speaks bird song and eats food that is hard to swallow.

He doesn't belong here.

Driven by his interests, hundreds of people will die this time, and if he had been before, he would have struggled.

will return it in another way because it hurts the interests of his friends.

But now he just wants to accomplish his goals, and these are the tests of the monarch's path.

On the day of the move, the girl and Ichisu had a bad night, and the longer they knew Bran, the more they would be seduced by his grand goal, and the more excited and frightened they were.

The early sun of the morning was particularly beautiful, golden and round, and the maiden looked at the heavens, and then looked at Bran's back, where she rode to Bran's left and Ichisu to the right.

"Can you tell me who you really are?" The girl asked timidly.

Ichisu also elongated his ears.

He wanted to know too much how Bran's contempt for heaven and earth and his words were raised, even the Orthodox Patriarch probably didn't dare to speak like this.

Bran closed his eyes, felt the wind, the guidance of heaven and earth, and then opened his eyes!

He looked at the dark shadow in front of him, the sound of horses' hooves, and slowly spat out the daily questions and answers of his youth.

.

Who are you?

Bran Chaman.

Age?

Ten years old.

From?

.

The corners of his mouth are raised, and his heart is surging.

"The blessed place of God, the Venetian Islands, the Principality, the guardian of the peninsula, the eighth Grand Duke, Bran. Chaman. ”
