At about half past three in the afternoon, Oran came to the castle gates.

After him, in order of status, there are Gazi, Rowling (Darsf), his subordinates, the lord of the manor, etc.

The castle could not accommodate so many guests, so with the exception of a few nobles, they were all arranged to live in the inner part of the castle outside the castle itself.

It is still within the fence of the city wall, and a row of stone houses has been erected.

In addition, as a loser in the resistance to Oran, Rowling, her son, and the two servants she brought from the castle were placed to live in another place.

This place was on the right rear of the castle, and it was bounded, and there were no orders, except for the servants who delivered food, and they were not allowed to approach, which was like house arrest.

Oran sent three soldiers to guard the only occupant of the area, Baron West.

And from today onwards, there will be two more.

Rowling had met Baron West, and when he saw West wandering around the house in a mad manner, with words in his mouth, he hurried into the house with a sense of fear.

Ever since West saw the scene of his two sons killing each other, his life has aged day by day, waiting for death to come.

Although his son, Baron Ghazi, came, he did not intend to (dare not) meet him.

Ghazi was allowed to enter the castle and live in a large house in the rooms of the Lord of Oran.

That night, before dinner, Oran privately summoned "Sals".

Sals is talented, with handsome facial features, black hair, and standard salute movements, and looks like a very literate knight nobleman.

Oran, dressed in the lord's silk robe, and the ruby ring in his hand, sparkled and shining, showing his status as a county lord, but at the same time not proud, he warmly stood up to greet Sals, shook his hand, and showed great hospitality.

"Your Excellency, this time I have come at the order of His Majesty to assist you in handling the affairs of the territory, and when you have properly arranged everything, you can send troops south." Sals simply indicated his intentions.

"Of course, and you, as Your Majesty's messenger, are like Your Majesty's arrival in this castle, and I will entertain you with the best courtesy, and tomorrow if you are free, I will have you taken on a safari."

The two pretended to be "late to see each other".

Soon it was time for Orlan to feast on everyone.

In the hall of the dinner, Oran stood up and raised his glass to the crowd, and introduced the origin of Sals, and addressed him, "The king has sent here to assist his envoys in charge of Durham." ”

Orlan creates a false impression that these people believe that their marriage to Ella is unbreakable.

At this dinner, almost all of the castle's ale reserves were drunk.

At the dinner, there were only a few people who weren't drunk, and one of them was Sals.

He casually chatted with the knights who came to toast, trying to remember their appearances, and analyzing from the conversation who this person was, and how much weight did it have?

And often tentatively asked, "When will Oran go south?"

The subordinates have long been unified, and they all said "it's soon".

But this was not Sals's satisfactory answer.

He's going to mess up!

After his trip to Dan, he went back to Wales as soon as possible.

At this time, Wales had just survived the war, and Wessex in the south, in order to expand its hegemony and control more mines, occupied a large piece of border land.

Wales and the Seven Kingdoms, although they both believe in God, have different cultures.

After the decline of the Roman Empire, which once controlled Britain, the Germanic people from Jutland invaded, and many of the island's Celtic ancestors and Roman garrisons scattered and fled, and some fled west to the Welsh region surrounded by mountains, forming an independent culture and political power, and confronting these Anglo and Saxon kingdoms, as well as Ireland and Scotland.

The legend of King Arthur first came out of this place, and later the ancestor king of Mercia, "Ofa", borrowed this story and expanded it to be the master of the kings of Britain (England), and said that he inherited the legacy of King Arthur and established the era of Mercian hegemony, and the legend became more and more bizarre, so that Arthur became the hero king of Britain.

Wales has a large number of mountain ranges, iron and coal, and can also trade with the Irish kingdoms (tribes), and after Wessex took over the hegemony of Mercia, it continued to advance.

Wales' proud "longbowmen" were formidable, but their total population was too small.

The local churches and lords also tried to win over external allies.

This was the main reason why Sals, as a royal merchant, encouraged them to support the lords of other regions in lending money and seeking a way out.

When Sals returned, the war had just ended, and Wales was forced to pay a certain amount of pig iron (equivalent to 130 iron swords and 50 pieces of armor) within this year, in exchange for the withdrawal of Wessex, and the loss of a land the size of a "barony".

Sals took this opportunity to vigorously encourage the lords and priests to support his plan, and to support a man who had no conflict of interest with him, but could contain the kingdom of Mercia, so that he could share a lot of border pressure and concentrate on fighting Wessex.

Sals has always been very loyal and reliable,

Young and handsome, after leaving the "bed" of the old and frail archbishop,

Success has moved the archbishop to add more to the original plan to fund Ella!

He also gave himself a list of supplies (mostly melted gold and silver nuggets) and asked him to establish a military alliance with Ella.

Sals then traveled day and night to quickly cross the Mercian border and enter the Welsh stronghold he had established in Northumbria.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

He hid the treasure and met Ella afterwards, but what he told the king of Ella was,

"The war in the south has changed, and in order to cope with the attack between Mercia and Wessex, the funds that were originally going to be provided to the kingdom were raised by one-sixth first, but they will be delivered in batches in a few months."

What is said is true and false, but the important thing is that he promised Ella's profit (treasure) and brought a part of it to remove Ella's guard.

In Wales - Sals is the loyal dog of the archbishop,

At the court of Northumbria, he is a knight who has been subdued by King Ella and has come to Ella with dreams of building a great land.

Sals even volunteered to go to the dangerous White Eagle Territory to act as eyes and ears, spying on Orlan's side who had committed terrible evil deeds in Dan City.

King Ella not only agreed, but also held a grand canonization ceremony, announcing in public that Sals would be canonized as the Baron of Yorkshire, and if the eight counties were unified in the future, he would be the "Earl of York"!

In the land that she did not actually control, Ella was very generous and did not attract opposition from other subordinates.

And this barony allowed Sals to send letters to Wales, reassuring the archbishops that they had penetrated into Ella's interior.

On the other hand, it also serves as a springboard to meet Oran as a royal envoy.

He took several of his servants sent by the archbishop to monitor him, as well as the servants (also monitors) that Ella had given him, and gathered a force of twenty guards to come to the White Eagle Territory.

The plan is slowly coming to fruition, and as long as Orlan shows enough crazy behavior, then he can join forces with himself!
