Orlan was covered in sweat, and he was wearing coarse linen.

The friction of the skin is very uncomfortable.

In the queue, only a dozen or so people knew their identities.

Wherever Oran goes, these people move.

When they reached the longhouse, about 500 meters away, Orlan saw a group of Vikings.

There was commotion on both sides.

There were at least a hundred of these Vikings.

With so many people dispatched by both sides, they were afraid that they would suddenly act if they disagreed.

Then each of the two sides sent a horse out, and after exchanging a few words, they returned to each other's positions.

After hearing the report, Nanding led several people forward, including Oran.

They were facing a large stone house, the manor's mansion.

On the large roof, a carving of the "God Thor" has just been hung to bless them with a good harvest.

And before taking this place, Shi Meng also turned to the cross for luck.

Now, Shi Meng no longer pursues the ethereal and meaningless "Valhalla", but he also does not blindly pursue the "Kingdom of Heaven".

Believers in the god Odin say that "it" loves the valiant warriors, and that it should be protected by the fact that it has performed many battles in its name.

"The Evil God"

The believer of God, who says that "it" loves the world, is one of the world's children.

The two gods were skillfully alternately used by Shimon.

Nanding also saw that among the Vikings who entered the house early, minus Smon, there were two others with a small ring of crosses hanging on their arms.

The brigades of both sides each set up a formation about 300 meters outside the big house, and did not dare to make a rash move.

After entering the house, Shi Meng and Nanding shook hands with each other, then hugged and patted their backs, and then sat down on the left and right sides of the long table, indicating that the two parties were equal.

They are both strong warriors, shaking hands just now, and the two are also fighting and probing, each feeling the strong grip of the other party and the calluses in their hands.

Smonn sensed that Nanding had surpassed the former White Eagle Lord (Oran's father).

He waited for Nanding to sit down and then said, "Thank you to the White Eagle Lord (Oran) for your kindness and sending so many farm tools, and after waiting for the harvest, I will send someone to give back the food and fruits we have grown." ”

In the past few days, Orlan has sent people over to deliver letters and gifts, almost once a day.

Although Niu Neck didn't know why the White Eagle Lord was so enthusiastic, he needed all these things, and he didn't twist them, and he took them all.

At today's meeting, he thought that the White Eagle Leader planned to draw a border with him and not interfere with each other.

In his father-in-law's time, this kind of thing happened a few times.

But after a few words, the development of events was far beyond his imagination.

Seeing that the time was almost there, Nanding waved a new gift.

The gift was handed over by the "Titan" and placed on a long table, and when the cloth was removed, a square box was revealed.

Shi Meng thought it was some kind of jewelry or sundries, but when the Titan opened, the atmosphere changed dramatically!

The warriors around the bull neck all pressed their hands on the handle of the sword.

"What do you mean!" Shi Meng's murderous aura was instantaneous.

He waits for the next response, and if he is not satisfied, he will leave immediately.

"It's a very precious gift." Nanding pushed the bottom box of the human head forward, so that Shi Meng could see it more clearly.

"Salted heads, you take this as a gift?"

After Shi Meng finished speaking, he looked at the human head carefully, and then realized that this head was missing an ear, like an acquaintance - a heavenly knight from the east of his settlement.

"Do you see clearly?" Nanding pulled the box back and put the cloth back on it, and her voice turned gloomy, "Chief Shimon, what you say next, you must promise that it will never leave this room, in that case, I can tell you everything." ”

"What if I don't want to know?" Shamen didn't want to get into trouble.

Norwegian proverb: Curiosity kills a bear.

"The White Eagle will visit your territory until one of the two sides loses any power."

"Die, old England!" One Viking could not stand the provocation and aimed his sword at Nanding's face.

But Nanding did not move at all, and His Excellency Oran was behind him, and he was afraid of death, and he also "fell forward and died".

"Wait."

Shi Meng suppressed the dissatisfaction of his subordinates, and at the same time he had a lot of questions in his heart, he said, "Okay, you can say it." ”

"Clear the field first, the less people know about this matter, the better, keep one person each, it's better to know how to read." Nanding proposed.

What Nanding said basically did not deviate from what Orlan taught him, and at the same time, he was dominating the scene step by step.

But Shi Meng knew that when negotiating at the table, no matter how much you agree or are forced to accept the words of your opponent, you have to raise different opinions, and he replied, "Leave two." ”

Nanding didn't hear Orlan's "coughing" cue, so he said yes.

Then a few more people walked out, and when "Oran" was about to walk out, Shi Meng came and said, "This kid stays." ”

On Nanding's side, the atmosphere was even more tense than the Vikings drew their swords just now, and they all drew their swords in an instant.

Oran has a bad heart, so it will be exposed.

Shi Meng suppressed his speculation and said deliberately, "He stays." ”

Shi Meng didn't say why, but his attitude was firm, so in the end there were six people left in the house, three on each side.

Behind Nanding stood the Titan, Oran.

Behind Shi Meng stood two loyal men, also reading through some of the text.

Three against three, Shi Meng's force was superior in the house, but outside the house, Oran's military strength was superior, and neither side dared to do it at will.

"Knight Nanding, now, you can tell the damn head the secret." Shi Meng Dao.

"The head of that man was a frontier knight under Earl Earl, and his ear was cut off by you.

Our lord (Oran) paid the price of twenty lives to launch a night attack and take it directly.

Now, as a gift to you, this knight launched a sneak attack two years ago, when the leader of your settlement was handed over, and killed more than a dozen of you, and I am not mistaken. ”

Shi Meng was a little confused, and the White Eagle Leader directly "killed fellow believers" to curry favor with himself, a foreigner?

He thought for a moment and said, "I want to kill this person, since you brought the head, I will accept it, and return the same compensation, if you need our help to maintain the peace of the border and let your people trade through, you can do so at any time." ”

But Nanding didn't want this, and he then took out a vellum letter from his bosom and handed it to Shi Meng.

It was one of the letters Orlan had taken out of Rowling's castle bedroom, and it was written that Earl had intended to poison and attack the White Eagle Collar.

It was also the reason why Nanding asked them to leave people who could read just now, he was afraid that Shi Meng would not be able to read.

Shi Meng read it a few times, exchanged ears with the left and right in the Viking dialect, and after combing through it, pushed the letter back.

"So, those previous gifts, plus this human head, were all for the sake of an alliance? You want to take revenge and swallow the Northern Territory, so let's take action together?"

It's a "conspiracy" again, Shi Meng hates conspiracy, and his favorability of the White Eagle Collar continues to decline.

"Chief Shimon, there's another letter here."

Nanding also issued a letter "forged" by Oran, which stated that King Ella was going to use troops to the north, sweep all the Danfa districts, consolidate his rule, avoid the fire in the backyard of the former king, and wait for the obstacles to be cleared before launching a war for the unification of the kingdom.

This letter concerns him, and Shi Meng's face changes and changes.

"We have formed a marriage alliance with Her Majesty Ella, and he has recently sent an envoy (Sals) to our territory, just for this matter, if you don't believe me, you can send scouts to inquire around." Nanting Road.

Orlan took advantage of the king's envoy Sals to take advantage of the affairs of the territory, and recently sent out false information that the king supported him.

Orlan also sent a group of men north to the Earl's domain, and also told the miser that he had the full support of the king to clear the Danfa district in the north and let Earl join forces with him, so that he would give priority to helping him sweep away the Golden Tooth forces in the territory.

After that, Earl can help him defeat the bullneck.

Oran had this in mind, forming an alliance with Earl and convincing Earl to let him into his domain.

On the other hand, he formed an alliance with Shi Meng and let Shi Meng read these two letters,

One made Beamn think he was going to avenge Earl,

The second is to let Shimon know that his settlement is dangerous and that he needs to find an ally, or he will be besieged by the Heavenly Lords to the south.

"The incident has exceeded my expectations, so it's better for you to finish it all at once, if it doesn't harm the interests of our settlement, then you can still talk about it, otherwise, let's see whose sword is fast."

Then Shi Meng pointed to Orlan behind Nanding, and suddenly threw the small clay cup filled with water on the table.

The Titan immediately used his body area plus that chubby face to accurately block ten percent of the attacks.

Shi Meng said coldly, "Who are you?"

"I'm just a herald, Chief."

Oran patted the Titan on the shoulder, feeling dissatisfied with the Norwegian veteran.

"Herald? Just now my men drew their swords, and the few people around you all protected you, regardless of the knight on the table.

When there are only two people left, the little fat man next to you always looks at you from time to time, holding the sword on his body.

Now that I splash water, he still protects you in the first place?

Also, when you entered the house, you were obviously the last of your group to enter, but when you entered, the male knight was willing to sit down.

A knight nobleman, waiting for your herald?

Also, you look at your lord's eyes, full of ......"

When Flame entered the house, he paid attention to all movements.

Oran saw that he was so shrewd, and he no longer hid it.

"That's enough."

After saying this, Oran can be regarded as indicating that his identity is no less than Nanding.

"You are the Lord of the White Eagle?" Shi Meng asked tentatively.

Oran didn't say yes or no, but replied, "I like to deal with smart people the most, because they are not swayed by anger and are more focused on practical interests."

The White Eagle Lords need new territory, and you need the kindness of the surrounding lords,

The king will use his army against you, and your presence will make the northern lords of Northumbria never obey his command, and go their own way.

The lords of the north always said that they wanted to protect their homeland, and if they sent troops, they would be invaded by the Vikings.

Once you've been cleared, Ella can command the Lord of the North to fight his brother without any worries.

The Earl is also dissatisfied with you, because you have a part of your territory, which happens to be in his de jure territory, but you use it for cultivation, and he thinks that you are stealing his food, so from time to time let the border knights lead people to sweep you.

Before I knew that Earl wanted to harm our letters, I almost took advantage of them and turned against you.

Now the truth is revealed, Earl is my enemy, you are his enemy, the so-called enemy of the enemy, is the best ally, isn't it?

Sending you this head shows that we have great sincerity and cooperation.

What I want you to do is very simple, you harass the border between the king and earl, and then I will let out the wind and make the noise that you are going to attack......"

Orlan wants to use the bull's neck to get the news of the chaos in the north, delay the agreed time to go south to join the war, and on the other hand, use the bull's neck to scare Earl and force Earl to agree to an alliance with him against the Vikings.

The most important thing in the whole thing is the attitude of the bull's neck, so Orlan must come in person and grasp the situation.

Shi Meng hesitated, Oran's proposal was too crazy.

Orlan said, "You can think about it for as long as you want, but I will only accept one, agree!"

If it were not for my satisfactory answer, this place would have been swallowed up by fire to-day, and then I, the king, and the Earl of Earl, would have pacified your settlement within a month. ”

"Why should I believe you, boy? If you kill those who believe in you, will you not be afraid of defeat? We can also go and tell Earl Earl!"

It was the man who had just drawn his sword and was angry at Nanding, and Smond's right-hand man was "S'en".

Now that the "boy" is gone, he can be regarded as the second person in the collar.

"Whistleblowing?" Nanding snorted.

Sean reacted that he actually wanted to beg Earl, but his confidence was suddenly insufficient.

They drove their swords mad, but the situation was judged very poorly.

"It's a good thing you didn't sit in the leader's seat, otherwise you'd have messed everything up." Oran does not give face at all.

The Vikings believed in the strong, and the stronger they were, the more they could hold them down.

"You're crazy, we've only been in contact for a few days, and you're proposing such an outrageous alliance!" Shi Meng Dao.

"In the past few days, I have inquired about many things about you, and I think you must be the same, so you should have heard of the church sword competition?"

Seeing Shi Meng nodding, Oran then said,

"If it weren't for the fact that there were too few people with me at the time, I would have killed all those who insulted me, and let the church sword fight be passed on to me for 'fighting for honor'.

Trading with honest people, you can only take one step at a time, trading with crazy people, and the profits are amazing!

You tried to convert and take refuge in Ella, but they didn't believe you.

Now you have another chance, take refuge in me, and I will protect you. ”

"King Ella is also the nominal king, and you rule at most one county, so you want to protect us?"

Shi Meng picked up the water glass in front of him, drank it and took a sip on the ground.

Orlan looked at the harsh Swen just now, and the sneering Shimon, and finally pointed at Shimon and said, "I heard that your wife is pregnant, let's assume one thing, your good wife gave birth to a boy and a girl.

Fourteen years later, a foreign man suddenly came and took your daughter, wounded your brothers and children, and found a 'priest' to tell you that he wanted a peaceful settlement and made you swallow it, what would you do?"

"If this kind of thing can be forgiven, it is a shame to live." Ann scrambled to speak.

"That Benberg tells you that in the Frankish realm of southwestern Denmark there has been a duke in recent years, as you may have heard, known as 'Baldwin with the Iron Arm,' who, five years ago, had only one county, and so did me.

He wants to expand his power, he wants to boost his family's prestige, and he wants to ascend to the sky in one step!

How did he do it?

He later kidnapped Charlemagne's descendant, a Frankish princess,

After forcibly marrying, he repelled the king's soldiers, and at the same time bribed the Holy See with the gold and silver he had stolen, so that the Roman Pontifical 'Nico I' would intervene to mediate.

The so-called seven virtues, the Holy See has forgotten all, as long as there is enough gold and silver, they can turn a person of the seven evils into a saint.

And the King of the Franks agreed!

As Charlemagne's grandson, why should he endure such shame?

Because of his border, the beacons are everywhere, and his close ministers have bad intentions, he can only endure it, and finally entrust him with the important task of handing over the security of the northwest border to Baldwin, and let Baldwin drive the Danes!

As a result, the kingdom's lands bordering the Danish border were much less disturbed.

People laughed at him because he couldn't see what the king's eyes saw.

People see different scenery when they stand in different positions.

There are a few pieces of land that spring goes to autumn, and you can harvest when you sow seeds, and you are satisfied, and when you are old, most of them will die in humility, and the funeral goods will be a few broken wine cups and clothes, and the better ones, a broken sword and broken armor, and the tombstone will be engraved, born in a certain year, buried in a certain place......

The scenery that Benber saw was very large, and you ran on your legs, rode your horses and boats, and you could not reach the end for several days.

This territory can be inhabited by many people of different skin colors, and gods of different shapes are worshipped.

Now, my enemies call me Lord of the White Eagle, and in five years, they will call me 'King of England'." ”

After Oran said this, he was a little thirsty, and he was more than a water bag.

The titan beside him hurriedly picked up the water bag on his body.

Orlan drank half of it, and then sprinkled it on Shi Meng and the others.

"Sweet mountain spring water, how does it taste?"

"Sweet." Grace Dao, his heart beating wildly at Orlan's words.

"There are so many mountains in Northumbria that can produce such sweet springs, so let's build a beautiful home with Benber, boy."

"Good...... Good!" Ann was enchanted.

Shmon grabbed Ann's hand and motioned for him to calm down.

After Sien slowed down, he also picked up the water bag on his body and drank most of it, but he didn't dare to sprinkle it on Orlan again, just to reduce the fire of desire in his heart.

"Shimon? Pyg, you will be on an equal footing with Benbo. ”

Orlan stretched out his hand, and everyone's eyes looked at Shi Meng, and at this time, they all wanted him to agree!

After much thought, Shi Meng got up and took Oran's hand.

Great plans, often source crazy proposals with ideas.

Oran successfully led the meeting.

Before leaving the house, Oran said, "I will establish a communication channel, you can wait for my news at any time, and starting today, once your people set foot in the White Eagle Territory, they will be like returning to their own home."

Orlan picked up a Viking armband he had hidden on his body, which he had prepared for the event, and he handed it to Shamen and said something crazy that Shamen would never forget,

"For Odin, God bears witness."

"For Odin, God's witness!"

Grime repeated, taking Oran's armband and sending it to him.

The armband is versatile, and one is used as a currency. These armbands are made of silver and can be removed when money is scarce and chopped up as "shredded silver".

What Orlan sent was a silver armband.

But Shi Meng gave him a leather armband, which symbolized honor and adulthood.

In the end, Oran and Shimon hugged each other and walked out.

On the way out, Orlan remained hidden in the crowd, and he was in a group with the soldiers who knew their identities.

"This old Norwegian has a lot of energy." Oran looked at his red palms.

"Your Excellency, do you really want to be on an equal footing with this group of barbarians?" Titan asked.

"Mouthy."

Oran shook it a few times, normalized the redness of his palm, and said, "Handle the head well, be careful not to leak." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

In fact, Orlan did not launch a night attack at all, and the day after he returned to his county and canonized the people, he sent men to inform Earl, and when his men passed through the border, they saw a fire, and the knight who had disturbed the territory of Smond had drunk too much and died in the house.

As he learns more about Simon and Earl, Oran decides to make a fake affair.

He listened to the description of his subordinates, got a human head of about the same age and a little similar in appearance, and used fire to roast this first-level skin, so that the facial features were not easy to see, and then cut off an ear, made a very similar appearance, pretended to be his night attack, and gave it to Shi Meng at this moment.

The man was dead, and Smonn had no way of verifying, but he did send soldiers in and out of the Earl border several times.

So as long as Shi Meng believes in his heart, he will connect all of this, and if Shi Meng goes to tell Earl, it will not hurt, because he has not done it.

……

……

On the other side, the three Shi Meng who stayed in the house discussed it.

Calm down, Ann said, "Chief, what should I do?" I'm confused by this kid!"

Shi Meng just sighed, he began to feel that his forbearance policy in the past two years was very wrong, and he had lost a good opportunity for development.

And now, a new opportunity has arrived!
