These barbarians look scattered

Some of the officers who led them yelled at the barbarian leaders, including the boyar officers, and some of the Berk non-commissioned officers, who seemed to be unable to maintain this large army, and the daily march was irregular, and it was completely spontaneous, and all the barbarians were so excited that they spent a whole day looting the storehouses and digging the cellars

Most of the efforts failed, and the surrounding manor owners seemed to have transferred the precious drinks, but beneath a humble warehouse, the barbarians still appeared, and the peasants had hidden the wine, and the cellar under it seemed like an endless passageway, and the savages were afraid to go down, so they forced us to help them carry the barrels

Many of the barrels were broken, and they were full of ash, and some of them were good, and the air here was unusually stuffy, and we were busy all night, and only the last barrel of wine was brought out the next morning, and the officers were mad at the situation, and they wanted to go north as soon as possible to support Xiaodonghu City, but these barbarians had no intention of leaving

The ranks of the barbarians are getting bigger and bigger, they take everything they can take away, and if they can't take it, they set fire to it, and when I climbed up from the cellar with a barrel of wine on my back, I saw that the surrounding villages were burning, and it stands to reason that the surrounding area was already a territory belonging to Xiaodonghu City, but these barbarians didn't seem to care at all, they didn't care that they didn't have a salary, and they didn't have a good wine, no matter who it was, they decided to grab it first

Just a few dozen miles around, there must have been an army of Varankov, where did those soldiers go?

Now the mountains are full of barbarian soldiers, and I feel like they're a disaster for anyone, and it seems that the Berks have a good plan, as long as they can keep the Wikibians in chaos, and no matter how they do, any way to weaken the wiki is to be encouraged

The sacking of the wine-producing villages took almost two days, and judging from the position of the distant peaks the direction of the barbarians, I could say that they were simply headless flies, and that they would turn eastward, as if they were going to the port of Baidan, but suddenly they turned around by a river, and then turned southwest, and made it appear that they were going to plunder the whole field of Varankov, and the army sniffed like a blind dog, and stopped to study anything of interest

The leader of the barbarians was not in a hurry at all, he didn't care if Xiaodonghu City might have been besieged, he only cared about how much loot he could get, and whether he could avoid the desperate fight as much as possible

Anyway, on a sunny morning, the auxiliary officers seemed to have finally convinced the leader of the barbarians to agree to lead their soldiers north to sweep the besieging soldiers, and according to the direction of their advance, I judged that they should be heading for the port of Baidan, where they might have to rest and recuperate, I don't know if Count Kalinin or Giovanni had already conquered it, and to pose a threat to the city of Little Donghu from the south, the capture of Baidan was a necessary step

I hope to be able to meet the soldiers of Valan in the port of Baidan, and I feel that the soldiers of Valan should not have much problem dealing with these barbarians, and I am even a little curious, how this undisciplined army was able to sack the villages of Valan during the Battle of Riverlands.

Curious to curious, I was tied to the back of my horse and staggered towards the East Lake

The climate is getting warmer, and the fields will soon be green

Baidan Port

The castle is already under complete control, and all the servants in the past have been thrown into the dungeon, and those who have been vetted will be released

Baron Bai Dan was now confined in a stone room on the first floor, and was provided with water and white bread every day, and the bloated man, who was very unaccustomed to this kind of life, repeatedly demanded that he be taken care of: in the morning, there was caviar and baked bread; At noon he had goose meat with white wine or game with red wine, and in the afternoon he would eat a small bowl of raisins or other snacks and drink a pot of hot tea; In the evenings, he would eat pounds of the best meat and pour his own into bed with wine

When Tom went to accept the baron's surrender, the baron gave Tom the application, and Tom carefully checked the baron's menu before telling the baron that there was nothing he could do

The baron was angry, "How could it not be? My warehouse is full of real goods, my cook and women are here, I can't eat much, you should have honor, you have already got the castle, you should meet my requirements, I am a nobleman"

Tom said to him, "I'm afraid that's all you have to eat, sir."

The baron kicked over the bowl of water, threw the bread out of the window, and ""

Tom said, "If you need me, you can always find me"

For the whole day, the castle was filled with the roar of the baron, who cursed Count Kalinin, regretted that he should not have surrendered, and cursed the damn "bumper and bumper" weirdness

Tom took over the Baron's entirety

Speaking of pictures, there are very few theological things in it, there are many poems written by aristocratic women, and there are several beautifully bound stories, most of which tell the stories of knights and noblewomen in the West, Tom likes these books very much, especially a book called "Great Love" Tom has heard of this play in Ivangorod, but he has seen this book for the first time, the original book is very good, although Tom does not know many words, but he can find someone to help him read it

The Count disbanded the baron's retinue: two servants, a priest and doctor, a butler and, of course, the two beautiful maids

Tom felt a pang of disgust at the thought of the two girls: Valankov's soldiers had tortured the two girls to the point where they were no longer human, and then they had been sent to Tom to be treated, and the baron, who had been imprisoned, had shed a few tears when he heard the news, and he told Tom that he would remember Tom for a happy death

Tom tried his best to save the two girls, but one of them died, and the other went crazy, and since then he has been walking naked with the army on foot, and she will eat what others throw at her, and if she doesn't give her food, she will starve, she will laugh all day long, as if she doesn't remember anything, as a priest, Tom is ashamed of this situation, and the soldiers after the battle are uncontrollable, they will take advantage of the violent blood to plunder and commit violence, Tom can only pray that before the army arrives, the villagers have fled

At the same time, the priest of Baron Bai Dan turned to declare allegiance to the earl, which was not a good thing for Tom, the priest who had received nine years of theological education, was proficient in law and several languages, and the clergy of the Eastern Church could now only obtain a stable life by becoming the personal priest of the nobles, which was actually a disgrace to the clergy, but unfortunately no one could change anything, and the Eastern Church had been in decline for a long time

The Goths liked the priest very much

The priest had the same education experience as Goth, and both were born into declining aristocratic families, which made it easy for them to get closerThe priest watched Tom's funeral and Mass all the time, and when it was over, the man approached Tom, "You are Tom. Brown? ”

"Yes," Tom was a little nervous, the little man in front of him had a pair of wise and even cunning gray eyes, "you are Father Heck"

"It's good that you're still able to discern the real priest," said Heck, "and I think your ritual is handled very inappropriately" Heck cuts straight to the point, "and, I heard you're entangled with filthy women"

"Filthy woman?" Tom replied, "Who are you talking about?" ”

"Who?" Heck's thin lips tightened, "There are too many people, can't you remember clearly?" I've heard that a pregnant woman is in and out of your tent every day, and a pagan girl is helping you prepare a demonic potion, and now you're helping a madwoman Tom, who has slept with almost all the soldiers."

"That's what Goth told you," Tom picked up the familiar part of Heck's words, and then smiled sarcastically, "what should I do, Father?" ”

"I don't think it's appropriate for you to continue to preside over the sacred ceremony, and I hope you can go and explain it to the Count yourself in the afternoon."

"Who's going to take over?"

"I was trained in a seminary, and I knew what I should and shouldn't do."

"You know what you have to do, and you join the rebellion," said Tom, "and now, you are asking me to give you the right to preside over the ceremony?" ”

"That is God's will," said Heck, "and I faithfully obey his will, and he let me stay in the castle, and I will stay there; He made my master fail, and my master failed; He told me to follow the Count, and I followed the Count now, and he told me that you are not fit to be a priest, and that you and I should obey his will."

"That's your God," said Tom coldly, "if it's not mine, I won't give you what belongs to me, you don't qualify for me to obey God only, but not you"

Heck drew a cross on his chest, "You're blaspheming the decline of the Eastern Church because there are too many people like you."

"Really?" Tom asked rhetorically, "Who went to the nobles to be an acolyte in the most difficult times of the church?" Is it you, or am I? You have gone outside the church, and remember that when you leave the monastery, you are not in a position to judge us."

"The Earl will judge everything," said Heck, "and his voice was full of majesty, as if asking a stranger to leave his home, "I will tell the Earl what you have done, including your history, eh?" The man of Oak Village? ”

Tom's pupils constricted, and he stared at Heck for a moment, then walked up to him, "Go ahead," Tom said, "You dog* raised"

Heck's eyes widened, and Tom regained his humility, smiled and bowed and turned away

The exchange between the two priests went unnoticed, and Heck wrapped his robe a little tighter and walked out of the castle

Heck would look at everyone majestically, and he needed to establish his prestige as soon as possible

Heck disappeared into the crowd
