On May 9, 865 A.D., another group of warships took advantage of the twilight and suddenly landed on the coast of the Kent region.

When they found a place to hide the ship, they left a dozen men to guard it, and a large force of nearly 500 men landed again.

The team of "Hasstein" has cleared most of the obstacles.

This new force passed unhindered, and after meeting with Hasstein, they marched to the royal capital on May 11!

Originally, the defenders of the royal capital and food could resist for many days, but the king "St. Ladis? Fearing that the Vikings were far more numerous, Rolls fled to the west overnight, seeking help from his ally "Wessex".

And in this way, the troops left by the king to guard were in great confusion and their morale collapsed.

And whoever forsakes his people will be rejected by God!

Not long after they escaped, the king's party fled due to the poor choice of path.

This greatly delayed the speed of the procession's westward journey, and half a day later, the news came that the Viking enemy army had broken through the city and was approaching behind him, and the king was frightened and galloped wildly, but accidentally fell off his horse and died!

As the last king of Kent in the Rouse family, the "Chronicle of the Kings of Britain", written a few years later, called him "St. Rudis, the Fallen Horse".

This group of Vikings did not expect it to go so smoothly, they originally wanted to besiege the kingdom of Kent once and take away a lot of wealth.

After a while, the news of King Ragnar's invasion will be released, and the Seven Kingdoms will definitely focus on the south.

And their group of Viking sea wolves are like a sharp sword, stabbing into the heart of Central England - Northumbria!

But when the old archbishop was burned to death, the king of Kent was killed, and the nobles of the kingdom fled, which made them rise up to snatch more wealth.

Just as their fathers had just set foot on English soil decades earlier, they were full of joy of conquest.

They kill people when they see them, and they hate things that are peaceful and beautiful.

The atrocities are hard to describe in words, and the fields and roads are littered with corpses with missing body parts.

When I met a woman I liked, I couldn't help but say it, I was humiliated on the spot, and if I dared to resist, I would kill it directly after the incident.

On May 13, Canterbury Cathedral, the largest in the country and known as the most important religious shrine in England, was besieged by nearly 2,000 Viking warriors!

Despite these decades, the Kingdom of Kent has been the hardest hit by the Vikings.

As the earliest place to take refuge in God among the Seven Kingdoms, King Kent also ruled the Seven Kingdoms.

Due to its geographical proximity to the Franks, it undertakes the north-south hub.

Political, cultural, faithful, economic and trade development, it is currently one of the most developed areas in England.

But, today is the end of the world!

The frightened lords and lords in the surrounding area had long since fled, leaving a group of monks and priests who had sworn to live with the church.

But no matter what time it is, in a country, there are always warriors who can't bend their legs and feet.

The territory is the closest to the cathedral, and for generations it has been the responsibility of guarding the church, and the king's cousin "Burr? Count Nephos, when he heard of the death of the king and the Vikings turned to the cathedral, he immediately led his party back to the decisive battle.

There was no money, no land, he only told his subordinates, "This is our homeland, the robbers are coming, it only takes ten minutes to escape, but the shame is for a lifetime!"

"!"

He gathered the remnants of the king, had the king's daughter protect him and went to Wessex, and finally returned with nearly 200 men, just in front of the main Viking force.

The battlefield is about numbers, morale, discipline, logistics, and faith!

Except for faith, the other four are inferior.

The battle lasted just over half an hour before the winner was decided.

"Por? Nephus "fell to the ground when he was shot by a Viking battle axe and a bow and arrow, but he struggled to his feet, and finally took the knight's sword and turned in the direction of the church."

Even if you die, your soul and eyes will continue to protect this place!

My Lord is above, and you must not cause me to die in the face of the earth.

Hasten, impressed by the man's courage, ordered his men to bury the earl.

The monks in the cathedral are left, but how can they resist the viking rage!

The "Canterbury Cathedral" is magnificent, but it is the god of the Gentiles, and to the invaders, it is like a pit.

The Vikings set fire to the fire, and the smoke filled the air so that more than 20 people were choked to death, and all those who escaped were taken prisoner.

The total number is approaching ninety.

In the crowd, there are also noble family scrolls that have not had time to escape, which is also hidden here, which is why there are so many people.

Hasstein ordered them to take off their ornate robes and silk robes, and then put on their tattered Viking garments.

Later, he slaughtered the livestock raised by the church and drenched the blood of the animals all over the bodies!

A priest who had just taken over the throne of the Archbishop of Kent was now brought to the broken "altar of the Cross".

The Vikings amused him, took off his broad hat, replaced it with strange horns, and laughed, "Priest, do you know what to do?"

"Augustus" knew that the Vikings were going to allow themselves to lead everyone to conversion.

But if they really do it, not to mention whether they will keep their word and forgive, they will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever!

The flames on the altar, piled high with wood, rose brightly.

Augustus looked at the ruined land with tears in his eyes.

Then his gaze swept over the crowd, and he raised his hands in the air to signal calm.

He had a stuttering problem, and he could only pronounce the name of the "Lord" smoothly.

But at this moment, he lost all his faults, and he felt that the Lord had appeared to ......

Haystein in the audience stared at the priest.

More than 20 years ago, I was like this, hiding in the copying room, burying my head in thought.

One day, a Frankish invasion broke the peace of the small village and burned everything, which they said was a "holy war" in revenge against the Vikings.

The Franks, the English, the Romans, the Slavs, for Hestein were all people.

But kill and injure your own companions, and that is the enemy!

An older priest at that time, in order to protect himself, took out the cross hidden under the bed and led the people to convert, but the Franks still put it on the fire and burned it to death!

"If you are a true Catholic, then you will be protected from the heat, but it is clear that you are a false conversion!"

The group of Franks went mad and sent them to the altar one by one to burn.

Luckily for Hestein, when it was his turn, it rained lightly at night, and then another group of soldiers led by the Viking Lord broke in and saved him, allowing him to return to the hustle and bustle of the world, and finally to his brother's tribe and inherit all his ......

"The Lord tells me that evil will come from the north!"

Archbishop Augustus's words made several of those arrested full of worry and anger.

They didn't want to provoke the Vikings any more, and the nobles knelt down and wept bitterly, hoping that the butcher's knife wouldn't fall on them.

After all, they all know about the "Blood Eagle Punishment" received by the former archbishop.

But just now? When Nephos fought, the weepers just hid and watched, and no one would come out to help them at this moment.

Crying will only lead to more bullying!

"You still have a chance to say a word."

Behind Hasstein, a bearded Viking lord who was a few years younger spoke.

His men were bandaging him, and he was just being beaten by Pol? Nefus "rode and charged" and suffered no minor injuries.

The lord had a goatee, was not tall, his hair was as white as snow, and a terrible serpent's scar spread between his eyes, from top left to bottom right.

That was a few years ago, he and Hestein went to "King's Castle Hunting".

The Vikings believed in the strong, and these strong men were popular, and one warrior was known as an admirable "warrior".

This "Warrior" is the "Warrior Bjorn", one of the Seven Viking Lords alongside Hestein.

A chance in a word?

The archbishop looked at the fire around him, and he saw his own "oracle" and "destiny".

At this moment, his life has come to an end.

Thinking of the tragic death of his companion, the heroic count.

Sorrow comes from it, shout!

"And Jehovah told me that when danger comes, do not be afraid and fearful, for one will deliver you from the devil's hand!"

Hestein and Björn shouted at their men at the same time to stop throwing people into the fire.

The two of them came this time, and it was a matter of mythology.

Among the sons of Ragnar, Björn was the most filial.

In the past few years, when my father went to the Golden Temple of Uppsalam in Sweden, he always received strange revelations and prophecies.

A few months ago, the High Priest of the Temple gave another terrible revelation!

"There will be a person who will come out of the sword and fire, and he will end the hegemony of you and your descendants!"

"Where!" Ragnar, who was at the temple at the time, was close to losing his temper.

"South!" The High Priest said.

The high priest also said that the god Odin and the god Thor only passed down this sentence, and the rest needed to be understood by themselves.

But for the Vikings, which land was not the South?

Some of the chiefs, and even Ragnar's other sons, advised their fathers to stop tossing and enjoy their old age in peace.

But when Ragnar saw the persuasion of the crowd, the more he wanted to do it.

"He came from the sea, and he is the king of prophecy!"

Relying on this myth handed down by the former high priest, in the past forty years, no matter how many difficulties, Ragnar always persevered and did not change his "original intention of killing and conquering".

So Bjorn, who was the most filial, found his righteous brother Hestein, and the two volunteered to share the work for the king.

Intend to inflict a heavy blow on the lords of England, and wait for Ragnar's army to be assembled in a few months,

He will be led by Ragnar to launch a "great holy war" that will "go down in history".

Seeing the archbishop's prophecy of Jehovah's words, Björn became interested and, before he was thrown into the fire, asked, "Tell me, priest, who do you see who can save you?"

The flame reflected in the twin children, and the archbishop did not fear, but laughed excitedly, saying the "Frankish parable" that had been passed down for many years after the death of "Charlemagne".

"There will be a young prince born of the flames."

This sentence is a confrontational version created by the Franks because Charlemagne was gone, suffered from all kinds of wars, longed for heroes, and later absorbed the myth of the Vikings.

But the Frankish civil war was going on year by year, and the country's power was declining, and this myth began to be forgotten, and not many of the Vikings heard it.

When Augustus pronounced these words, he calmly stepped into the fire!

The flames swelled, and the sound came out of the flames.

"He came from the fire, and he is the prince of prophecy!"

At the end of the sentence, the archbishop was burned in flames until he was reduced to ashes.

Hastenn and Bjorn couldn't let go of it for a long time, and if the parable was true, then destroy it!

The hegemony of the Vikings, the North Sea Empire of the fathers, will never decline.

……

……

In the last massacre, I don't know how many people were burned.

Among the Viking warriors, a warrior with a handsome face approached the cooled Altar of the Cross.

The special armband in his hand, the expensive Viking sword at his waist, and the clean cheeks and the in-stinky body.

It is clear that he belonged to the upper Viking aristocracy.

"Take out of the fire the bones of the priest."

"My lord, you're forging a sword again?"

"Jehovah was stabbed with a spear, and wasn't that bloodstained spear a holy weapon?

I'd love to experiment and build this great weapon, but I can't find a god at this time.

Since this priest said that he was guided by God, then his "blood and bones" must also be miraculous and special. ”

The two subordinates were very reluctant to choose the bones, and the other leaders were all crazy robbers, but he was the only master, who was always looking for materials for forging weapons, or all kinds of strange things, such as "books".

The most special thing is that the owner doesn't understand these words at all, but he always says that they look close and familiar.

After the archbishop's bones were removed, the lord asked his men to collect them and continue to clean up the battlefield.

And this "strange behavior" was also told by others half a day later, Bjorn and Hestein, who had settled in a town in front of them, knew.

The two were drinking in a room.

Björn told Hestein, "How many years have we brought Theodore back from the castle? It's been eight and a half years, right?"

"It was when he was nine years old, and today it is exactly nine years, one month and eight days." Hasstein Road.

"Old friend, you have such a good memory."

"My three sons never lived to be adults, he was my son, and besides, he didn't call this Roman name for a long time."

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"I know that you named him 'Canute,' but though he lost his memory, he never forgot the Roman name.

You taught him knowledge and casting, I taught him swordsmanship, and he learned it very well.

But I'm afraid that one day, we will be eaten by him!

Don't forget, it was your men who killed his lord father when they attacked the lands off the coast of Kingfort. ”

"You're the warrior Bjorn, is there anything else you're afraid of?"

"I'm so scared."

After drinking some more wine, Hasstein recalled the first time he saw Theodore, and said to Jörn,

When his father died, he took a hunting dog with him and guarded his father's body with a sword.

He also said, 'You bandits, who seem to be fierce, but they have only been lucky, and if Charlemagne had not died suddenly, you would have been uprooted!'

This sentence is what a nine-year-old child dares to say?

He was facing at least twenty Viking warriors at the time!

This courage deserves my life.

On the way back, I told him, 'Spare your life and show you how your Rome, your Emperor, will destroy us in your lifetime?'

Unexpectedly, the ship was hit by a storm and waves, and the turbulence lifted him up and threw him on the deck, although he survived, he also lost many memories.

But he always remembered his real name, and he also engraved every sword he made with his own hands as 'Theodor'.

I know that he doesn't want to show off his skills, but he still has a little memory and wants to find his way home. ”

"And will you tell him?"

"No, he's been a Viking all his life, go to fucking Rome, and the warriors who participated in this back then have all gone to Valhalla, and you're left with me."

"You will marry your daughter to him, and let him kill God, the Orthodox Christian, and say that you are bad to him, and you treat him like a son, that you are good to him, and that you have deceived and controlled his life."

"Come on, let's salute this fucking world."

……

……

On May 14, 865 A.D., Viking atrocities in the Kent region were finally reported.

Both archbishops who died were posthumously canonized "saints" by the Holy See a few months later.

Canterbury Cathedral, the first archbishop, was called Augustus, he was canonized a saint during his lifetime, so it was called "saint? Augustus".

And Augustus in this world, the act of taking righteousness in the fire, so that he was given the holy word after his death.

The two had the same name, and the people regarded them as reincarnations, which made "Augustus" known as the greatest "saint" in England's history.

Facing the church, the heroic "Burr? Nefos", also named "Paladin".

The death of the two men has pushed the spiritual status of Canterbury Cathedral to a new height, and it has become a great holy place comparable to the Holy See.

Jerusalem, Kent (Canterbury), Holy See.

A few years later, these three places were collectively known as the Three Holy Places of God.

......

......

May 15, 865 A.D.

Orlan's White Eagle Collar ushered in the bull-necked subordinate "Sen".

He brought fifty men with him, but the soldiers were ordered to wait outside, and he was the only one who entered the hall.

Orlan had been waiting for a long time to entertain Swan.

But when he had finished enjoying himself, he told Oran,

"Venerable Lord of the White Eagle, Chief Shimon said, we can send people to harass, but not to attack, because every Viking is a brother like a brother, even if one person is killed, our hearts will hurt for three days."
