020. Rumors are always faster than the wind

"Lord Oran!"

"I said get down on your knees!"

The voice made Adesha retreat in fear, but Oran on the bed, supported by Mi'er, said, "I saved you, and this is the highest of all good deeds, which cannot be measured.

From now on, your life is mine, kneel and swear that you will always be loyal to me, and that I can treat you with courtesy if I am happy. ”

Faith was very important to some aristocrats.

Although Adesha is not a fanatical believer, she doesn't want to swear an oath, but under the threat of Oran's eyes, she is more and more afraid.

Those eyes were as blue as gemstones, but at this moment they seemed to be floating with blood marks, full of the smell of the devil.

Demon...... Son of the Devil!

That night, Adesha was finally forced to her knees and swore allegiance to "Oran Vijay" before being allowed to leave.

Orlan didn't touch her, for he had a splitting headache and eventually fell asleep.

This body is so tired...... So weak.

Mi'er took care of herself until the next morning.

When Oran opened his eyes, his body was full of the smell of honey, and these gentle hands kept patting his body gently.

"Your Excellency, you're awake!"

"How long did I sleep?"

"One night."

After Oran regained some strength, he ate directly in his room.

When it was noon, he summoned two of his men in the castle, Nanding and Kunsang.

and his castle steward, Southamp.

This year is the twentieth year of Southamp's allegiance to the lord, and among the main male subordinates in the territory, no one surpasses him, counting the women, there is only a maid head Karin who has a year more than him.

"Nanding, in the past few days, all the men in the collar have been trained, and the supplies have been dispatched."

"Yes."

"Kunsang, you assist Nanding."

"Hmm."

"Southamp, be optimistic about Adesha, don't let her be hurt a little."

"Do as I am told."

"In the future, I will become the county county, and in Durham County, you three can get any fertile piece of land you want."

All three bowed their heads and thanked them again.

Orlan lay back in his chair and said weakly, "Fight, fight until the last moment, let all the enemies be conquered by us, either the Vikings or other people's swords, or our swords ......"

Nanding looked at Oran out of the corner of his eye, he didn't understand, after the fall of the horse and recovery, in just one or two months, how could a nobleman who was once full of scholarly taste become like this? ,

The housekeeper Nanamp is also worried that the current owner is generous and bold, but also brutal!

A few days ago, Lord Orlan even said, "In the future, every meal will be arranged for drug testers, if anyone dares to poison, after asking clearly, they will all be hanged!"

With that ruthlessness and eyes, Nanamp is still a little afraid in his heart.

Kunsang, on the other hand, was different, the more brutal Orlan was, the happier he was.

This childhood master is running on the great path of infallibility, following with his own life.

After this meeting, a few more days passed.

The time soon came to February 22, 865 A.D.

Father Ulf sent an envoy to Ella to discuss the marriage, which ended in "failure".

After the defeat, Ash returned to the territory.

As soon as he saw Oran, he didn't even remove his dirty clothes, and while patting the dust on his body, he said, "My lord, as expected, Your Majesty Ella almost didn't use my head to test his freshly crafted iron sword. ”

"As a priest, he doesn't dare and won't, now that Adesha is in my hands, you wait a few days, go again, and talk again."

Now that Orlan's order was becoming more and more irrefutable, he said that even if he did, Ulf could only frown and agree.

Ulf, who had just returned, already knew the news of the mobilization in the territory, and as the chief treasurer, he said, "My lord, West. Baron Moore is notoriously cautious, we send troops, he will not fight hard, but will hide in the fortifications, according to the custom, in March, due to the influence of ocean currents, there is a possibility that Vikings will come, if you invade the Baron at this time, will the Vikings take advantage?"

"Then hurry up, within a few days, directly knock down his territory!"

Ten days ago, when Kunsang captured Adesha, he robbed a West. Moore's territory, and later West's men began to fight back.

The two sides have been at loggerheads, but there is still a formal document for the start of war.

And that's in the Oran plan.

Orlan had already figured out how to defeat the Baron.

The baron was timid and cautious, and he was old, and there had to be a reason for him to send troops.

A reason to resist full of temptations.

The more stable the person is tempted, then he often trusts his own judgment and gambles the whole thing.

The reason for this is that there is "civil strife" and "invasion" in their territory.

Two days later, two major events occurred on Baron Oran's turf in County Durham.

The first major event was when a group of Vikings suddenly appeared in Oran's territory, stole a lot of jewels, and injured Orlan.

The second major event, after the death of the former baron, Nanding, as a loyal subordinate of the new baron, also clashed with Oran, and Nanding was finally ordered to be whipped in front of everyone.

The reason was that Nanding was resentful of Oran's trust in Kunsan, a convert who had fled from Vikings.

Nanding also pointed out that the Viking operation was colluded with the traitor Kunsang.

He was also dissatisfied with Kunsang's attack on the territory of the believer West under the guise of Orlan, and offered to make Kunsang apologize.

But Oran favored Kunsang and rebuked Nanding.

"Rumors are always faster than the wind, blowing everywhere."

The news soon reached the ears of the old baron, who was dozens of kilometers away.

This incident made the old baron, who had just been beaten by the autumn wind and lost his troops, happily work all night before leaving the two maids.

And when he was eating in the morning, a letter from one of his knights surprised him even more.

When I opened the clay on it, I saw that it read, "Venerable West. Lord Moore, I, Nanding. Vijay, I would like to express my high respect to you, and I hope that you will forget the past and regain the glory that belongs to a man with me......"

Nanding wants to rebel?

Baron West's heart was excited.

The baron had lost one of his front teeth.

There is also a wound next to the earlobe, which testifies to the fact that one piece was accidentally cut off during the resistance to the Vikings one winter.

It's been twenty years.

As a man, that vicious battle took away his "courage".

Since then, West has maintained his armor and weapons well, but has never killed any of his enemies with his own hands.

He tossed the letter to the knights in the hall.

Several knights exchanged ears, for the Vikings, they were weak rabbits, but for Orlan in the same territory, like a strong wolf and an ordinary wolf, there was still a fighting power.

So the tone of the discussion is not weak.

After a few minutes, the baron, with his wrinkled, cloudy blue eyes, asked, "What do you think?"

One of the knights, and his heir, was thirty-year-old "Avalon" replied, "That's a good opportunity, father. ”
