014. The sun never sets
Oran after listening to the report.
"Kunsang, go and help me snatch people back, if you want to live, give you sixty people, go to the vicinity of 'Gudu Mountain' to find them."
Gudu Hill was another baron in the county, "West. Moore".
He and Orlan currently have a decent relationship, at least for now, the soldiers on both sides will meet, and they will not suddenly fight.
"Okay, I'll grab a few women back by the way."
Kunsang's way of thinking has become Viking, believing that the strong are the mainstay, and he also sees the people of other territories as evildoers, and even blurts out such cruel words as wanting to rob fellow believers.
"Go ahead."
But Nanding, who had the strongest swordsmanship in the collar, stayed.
Kunsang and Nanding, the two of them must have one of them to stay behind to protect themselves, so that Orlan can feel at ease.
There are still too few talents, but in this territory, there are only tens of thousands of people, and there are no talents waiting for them.
Unless you can control one county, and if you want to control one, the other two barons should die.
Orlan weaves short-term goals in his head, and he divides them into two.
One uses Adesha as bait, and since there is news, he sends someone to snatch her back as a dowry, repairs the relationship with Ella, and after making a marriage contract, he will annex the county without attracting resistance.
One against the Vikings, and the other related to Malm herself, whom she wanted to marry, stretched from Malm to Scotland.
The northernmost part of the island of Britain is now called "Scotland", and it is also called the Pict region because it is ruled by the Picts.
It was ruled by the "Albin Dynasty" founded by the Picts.
Malm's mother was a Pict, the aunt of the current king of the Albin dynasty, and the first wife of Her Majesty Ella.
The princess of Northumbria, the royal family of Albin, has several titles claimed by Malm.
Although Malmu has some bad rumors, if they can get married, they can quickly increase the value of Orlan's nobility.
Later, he swallowed Northumbria, joined forces with the Picts, and went south to fight the Vikings and Southern England (a country founded by several Saxons).
When the strength is not enough, borrow it.
The power of the British Isles, whoever can increase their advantages can cooperate.
"Buzz ......"
The sound of prayer in the castle came from the chapel room.
Everyone stopped and recited the holy name......
This is Ulf's subordinate priests, and their duty is to recite scriptures every day, help lords and high-ranking citizens increase their chances of going to heaven, and also take on other duties, such as medical care in the realm.
This voice let the people know that it was almost time to put down their movements and wash and eat.
After a while, the sun goes down, and the territory will be darkened, dark and quiet.
Ambitious...... Become an Emperor......
Orlan shouted, "I'm going to keep the sun from setting!"
Mi'er on the side said, "My lord?"
"You wait and see, I will build a city of ten thousand cities, even if it is dark at night, it is still brightly lit."
"As long as the sun rises, this city will never be destroyed!"
The city where the sun never sets?
So what should it be?
Mi'er was stunned, at this moment, the light from Oran's eyes, she felt more dazzling than the sun.
……
"Gudu Mountain".
In the local language, it means high and difficult to reach, and was named after the conquerors of the Roman Empire hundreds of years ago.
Rome has fallen, but everything he founded, its names, its decrees, its currency, its culture, still influenced future generations of lords.
No matter how difficult the mountains are, they can be conquered, and after hundreds of years of human activities, many mountain roads have been excavated.
On this day, "Sanjev the Hound Dog" led a group of robbers to enter directly from a small valley.
As a former nobleman, he has his own set of ways to treat his subordinates, that is...... Coercion.
When entering the valley, Sanjef chose a place that was open and easy to fire, and also close to the creek, so it was easy to extinguish the fire.
When his subordinates laid out the place belonging to the chief, they took out the dried meat to prepare for the cooking, and were suddenly questioned by Rajev's cronies.
"Whoever told you to touch it, you eat these loaves."
Although they are fleeing, the nobles can never be compared with these criminals.
Sanjeff watched quietly as his knight escorted Baal, spitting a lesson to the newly recruited hillbillies.
Then Sanjef took a cup of hot tea with wild fruits.
The cold months of February make people chill.
"You should be nice to your men, if these people are scared away by your men, you won't even be able to put together a ten-man team."
Adesha watched from the side and persuaded a few words, and she vaguely felt that something would happen sooner or later.
"Ants are ants, they will never turn into vicious dogs, if you want to resist, just give them a look, they can even lick the soles of your shoes."
Baal, who had just beaten and scolded his subordinates, leaned over with a sneer.
Being able to sit with Knight Sanjev and Lady Adesha shows his noble status as a knight's attendant and the former's cousin.
"Don't worry, we'll soon be able to go north to the castle of the 'Picts', where one of my relatives serves in the court, and when I get there, with my skills, I can get a knight's seat."
Sanjev drank another cup of hot tea, and a little red blood finally appeared on his cold face.
"You want to take me to the Northland?" Adesha was surprised.
"Your territory has been divided, my territory has been destroyed by the Vikings, we have suffered the same thing, find a lucky place to start over, wouldn't it be good?"
"It's my greatest luck to stay in my hometown, and if you can take my territory back, I'll agree to the promise I made."
The promise was that Adesha would marry the Hound as long as she could return to her homeland.
"I've changed my mind, and now, you have to follow me to the north."
"Northland" is also one of the synonyms of Scotland, for Adesha, there is winter, snow is removed all around, nothing can be seen desolate, more barren than England.
It even adopted the aristocratic model of "tribal co-governance", and only united the nobles to form the "Yalbin Dynasty" more than 20 years ago, and the culture was as barbaric and backward as the Vikings.
At the time of the meal, the hungry peasants and the new criminals were only allocated a black crust that was hard enough to knock out their front teeth, and then boiled some wild fruit water to drink.
Sanjef, the hound, and his party were able to eat dried meat and some sugar that had just been snatched from the merchants.
In England during the Seven Kingdoms era, in addition to infighting and guarding against the north, there was also dealing with the exploitation of the Vikings and the Frankish merchants in the south.
The number of criminals and slaves outnumbered the commoners, and to the nobles, these people were dead and insignificant.
Even if he is reduced to this, Sanjef is also an aristocratic subordinate and beats and scolds him at every turn.
That night, some peasants were hungry and wanted to steal a little food.
but was discovered by the caretaker.
He was a poor man and should have been opened, but the man in charge of the food, fearing that he would be blamed by the adults when he woke up tomorrow, shouted to catch the thief.
The peasant ran like a frenzy, and for I don't know how long, lay down on a snowy field.
His consciousness gradually drifted into a trance.
"I'm hungry......"
"I really want to eat a full meal......
Looking at the snow on the ground, he took it as a sweet sugar, grabbed a handful and wanted to swallow it.
But the next moment, a gun slapped his palm, and the sugar melted.
The farmer took one last look at the visitor, and then went hungry.
"I was expecting it, but is this man Sanjief's subordinate?"
Kunsang thought for a while, looked at the valley and didn't know which way to enter, so he ordered, "Get this person up and ask clearly, if it's the person we are looking for, it's the best." ”
