When Delim saw Orlan's people approaching, his eyes were not good, and he was very upset.
But Orlan didn't have a chance to react to him, nor did he react to the soldiers who escaped death.
Kunsang approached Delim and said, "Now, we need a few words from you. ”
"What?"
"Let your men put down their weapons and bring back the bodies of their companions, and we will keep you safe."
Behind Kunsang, there was the "Rat Tuman", who just now used the Vikings' one-handed axe to kill three people, which impressed Delim.
At this moment, Tuman held a single axe in his right hand and flicked it gently, as if if if Delim refused, the killing axe would fly over.
"We were able to win thanks to the righteous actions of Your Excellency Oran." Delim relented, then shouted for his men to bring back the bodies of his dead companions, and the remaining Viking corpses gathered and cremated on the spot.
It's only half an hour's journey back to the wooden castle, Delim walks very slowly, his mood is heavy, he was still in high spirits just now, and now he doesn't know what fate he will usher in?
His men and the men sent by Earl to help were separated by Oran, and all the weapons in their hands were in the hands of the White Eagle Leader.
When the wooden castle was in front of him, Delim stopped, looked at Orlan beside him, and asked, "Everyone wants to go in?"
He didn't want to hand over the wooden fort, but Kunsang's two men were so close that with a wave of his hand, he could pull out his sword and pass it through his waist.
Orlan approached just now, but he only put a watchtower team outside the wooden castle to merge it, and was politely refused to enter, and heard that the wooden castle was chasing the Vikings, so he led people to hurry up, but the wooden castle did not open the door.
But now that Delim is controlled by himself, he naturally wants to enter the city.
"Whatever you think, when you see the guest I have brought, you will understand everything, now, open the wooden door, let my people in, and then raise the White Eagle Banner into the air......"
For the sake of safety, after Kunsang and his subordinates went in to control everyone, Orlan finally entered.
Kunsang ordered the captured Vikings to be gathered in the square to prepare for everyone to see the "rat punishment", and then followed Orlan and brought Delim back to the lord's room.
Three entered, and Oran summoned another.
On the outside, he looks like a military priest with a slender figure.
When he took his mask off, Delim nearly jumped out of his chair. @*~~
"How could it be you, Adesha!"
"Your expression is like that of a mouse seeing a hunting cat, am I so terrible? Delim. ”
"It is rumored that you went to King Ella's court, why are you here again?"
"I have come by secret order of the king."
Adesha takes out Orlan's forged letter and gives it to Delim.
The latter looked and looked, and it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, but his intuition told him that it was a fake, and that the king would not do such a thing for no reason.
"You don't believe me?" When Adesha moved a chair and was about to sit down, Kunsan, who was standing next to Oran, suddenly shouted!
"You can't sit down without your Excellency's orders."
"What did you say!" Adesha's face turned blue and she looked at Oran.
Seeing this, Delim immediately got up, but was also stopped by Kunsang, "Your Excellency didn't let you stand, sit down!"
Delim remembered that Kunsang had just shoved a live crow into a man's throat, choking him to death, and he did not dare to say anything more.
"Kunsang is just joking with you." The corners of Oran's mouth went up, and he asked both of them to sit down.
But the two understood that Kunsang dared to do this, and it was all Orlan's acquiescence.
The two saluted Oran again before they dared to sit down.
Oran is very satisfied, and his subordinates must know respect and humility and always remember.
Whoever stands and who sits has the final say!
Adesha and this knight are both nobles who can be "sacrificed" at any time, and they just need to make them "afraid", and they don't need to be "respected".
Originally, Orlan wanted Adesha to find a chance to enter the castle and convince Delim.
But now that the human fort is in his own hands, he chooses a direct showdown.
"Delim, who is your master?"
"Lord Earl."
"What kind of master is he? Regardless of the Vikings' chaos in the territory, they just know that they can't hide, and you should find a new one.
Master, you are lucky that this host is right in front of you. ”
"Is it you or (Adesha)?"
"Very good, you guessed right away." Oran looked at Adesha.
"Hae-jin is no longer hers, Your Excellency."
"So I brought her back, to get back to her homeland, to get her subordinates back."
"You want my support?"
"This is the hope of all, the king, me, and the people and knights who originally belonged to Adesha, are looking forward to her return."
"There will be a lot of trouble, Your Excellency."
"To the south, "Oxneck Shimon" is leading people to attack the border, and in a few days, it will reach Haizhen. He is ruthless, I tell you, even "babies" can be killed, only I can save you.
To the north, the "Golden Fang" has joined forces with so many tribes and invaded almost half of the territory of Yewei County, if I don't come today, will other Heavenly Lords make a move?
You tell me, what's the trouble?
Who would dare to trouble Benber?
Later, all you have to do is publicly support Adesha and tell everyone what shoddy means Earl has used to annex Adesha's territory and kill her relatives. ”
Now is the time to fight against the Vikings, and if Orlan is strong, there will be a lot of trouble.
Therefore, he planned to support Adesha, the local lord, and control her behind her back, and then completely annex it after he completely controlled the county.
Oran continued, "I have found a number of knights who have been breached in their villages or estates, and when the time comes, they will come forward to accuse Earl of his crimes, and soon the lords and priests will turn their backs on Earl.
If you are as wise as they are, there will be no change in your original territory. ”
Speaking of that, it was enough, Orlan got up, smiled, and glanced at the two of them, "Since we are old friends, you can talk more, and you will remember to come and watch the rat punishment later." ”
After Orlan followed Kunsang away, the two breathed a sigh of relief.
Delim glanced at Adesha, "You have become more beautiful, but in the heart of this Lord of the White Eagle, it seems that your status is not important, why does he support your reinstatement?"
"I'm your lord, and a loyal knight is questioning my master?"
Delim paused for a moment and rerouted, "What does he (Orlan) want to do?"
"It's none of your business, you just have to be on my side and be a part of our plan, and when the time comes, we can get a lot."
"And if I don't want to?"
"Then you will see his methods, believe me, even for fellow believers, he can even be more ruthless than the Vikings, and that Kunsang beside him is as cruel as the devil!"
The territory remains unchanged and is returned to Adesha, which does not cause much loss to Delim.
plus the relationship between the two was ...... Delim finally nodded in agreement.
Seeing Delim let go, Adesha immediately got up, and the former immediately asked, "Long time no see, maybe we can talk more?"
"That was just a deal, Delim, you should forget the past that you shouldn't have thought about, or the flames will consume you!"
When Delim walked out the door, he instantly understood what Adesha meant.
The two soldiers, both of Oran's men, opened their mouths and said, "From now on, I will serve you, Your Excellency. ”
He was under house arrest, and that's not all.
When he agreed, Orlan immediately prepared a speech for him, and when the council was to make public about Earl's evil deeds and splash his master's dirty water in front of everyone.
He is now a marionette, controlled by Oran.
In less than two hours, Oran collected all the weapons of the wooden fort, and gathered all the veterans with a little status or combat experience, a total of eighteen people.
Let them swear allegiance to Adesha in advance.
Delim speaks indignantly of Earl's cowardice and tells the story of the King's secret decree to make everyone loyal to Adesha—and supports her as Earl of Jere.
Adesha and Earl are relatives, and they also have the "title claim" of Yerey County, and with the suppression of Orlan's soldiers, the process was completed smoothly.
Then it was time to see the "spoils of war", and the boiler and firewood were erected in Mubao Square. Error-free updates @
Vikings who didn't go up to Valhalla were plugged with corks and ropes.
String it up and pull it out in a whole bundle.
Onlookers included the lords, priests, soldiers, and nobles.
The clergyman of Oran cleared his throat, walked to the stage, and cried out, "Look, the evil retribution of the devil is coming soon, God is protecting us, and Lord Oran will do the will of the Lord and avenge us!"
Under the agitation of the atmosphere, the murderous intent of the people is high, and the confrontation with violence, and more "ferocious" is often the answer.
The captured Vikings could not hear the sound, but saw the excited faces of the crowd and knew that death was not far away.
They tried to break free and curse again before they died, but Orlan didn't intend to give them a chance.
After Kunsang sealed the first person in the bucket, he also blindfolded him, which completely blocked his sight, hearing, and sound.
When the cloth in the man's mouth was stained red, and blood dripped out.
Kunsang asked people to step forward and cut off their heads and throw them aside!
The Vikings who had been killed on the battlefield just now were all beheaded and their bodies were burned.
Hundreds of heads emit a foul smell, and finally fold into a small hill-shaped "Jingguan".
Under the encouragement of the clergy, the evil in the hearts of the people gradually increased.
This is not revenge, but an act of justice, a divine counterattack blessed by God.
"Kill all the Vikings!"
The voices came and went, and that was right, and Orlan was very satisfied.
One by one, the Vikings were pulled up, and when they fell, their bodies were broken by the mad rats.
By the time the last two Vikings were left, the two Vikings were already in a trance. @*~~
"What are you afraid of, they all went up to Valhalla. ”
Commander Kunsang tossed the last two into the barrel.
But Orlan saw that it was almost over, and he wanted to let these two go back and let them publicize it well, all of which was a means of "Earl".
After all, this kind of brutality must always be borne by a "scapegoat".
He shouted to stop, called Kunsang over, and after a few words, stopped the punishment.
Then let the crowd disperse.
When Kunsang, a few soldiers, and the two Vikings were left in the square, Kunsang asked for an "iron needle".
The two men did not know why they were spared, and when the cork was removed, Kunsan, with that terrible scarred face, told the two, "Lord Earl has received orders from His Majesty Ella, and soon, you will be expelled from Northumbria, and those who are still alive will be given a ride."
Those who have died, and there will be no peace, and Lord Earl will hollow out all the Viking tombs, remove the bones of your ancestors, and bury them in a place of stench and filth.
Go back and tell your chief, if you don't want to do so, bring someone over and surrender at once. ”
The two Vikings nodded yes, and were then led by Kunsang to the outside of the wooden castle.
After passing through the Black Forest, I walked some distance and came to an empty passage.
By this time, they were far away from the wooden fort, and even if they stayed still, it was easy to run into Vikings who were looking for information.
Determined that the two men would be easily spotted, Kunsang stopped the carriage and pulled them out of the carriage.
At this time, the two saw another empty cart dragged by horses, all stacked "heads".
Shocked!
"Fifty here, take them back to Baldo and Alger."
After Kunsang finished speaking, under the signal of his eyes, the two soldiers took out the iron needles they had just gotten, and pierced one of them in the eyeball and pierced the eardrum of one of them.
The two Vikings rolled on the ground in pain.
Kunsang laughed, the Vikings' painful voices were so beautiful that they never got tired of hearing them.
He thought, one command direction, one speech and news, enough.
This is the price of their lives.
Kunsang turned around and led the people back, and the pain of the two Vikings made their voices hoarse!
In order to survive, the will of people is often unimaginable, and the two finally climb into the carriage, and those who can see and hear are to determine whether they have hit an obstacle or not.
Frantically whipping the horses, after a moment of charge, the two entered an area where Vikings were active, and then they stopped, because they had no more energy.
When the men of the "One-Eared Haman" found two people, the one who had been pierced in both eyes had died, and the one who had lost his hearing, then.
On one’s last legs.
They dragged the horses back in anger.
When more Vikings saw this, they gasped.
They never thought they would be treated like this.
"Earl...... Revenge!"
In the end, the man whose ears had been pierced slammed his head into the plank of the carriage in pain, and was finally freed by a sword from his companion.
The carriage became fifty-two heads.
The Vikings in the camp drew their tomahawks and flew at the target.
"Blood feud!"
……
Kunsang, after returning to the wooden castle, told Orlan the truth.
To Orlan, he never hid it.
"Your Excellency, those two will not last long, I think at this time, they should die at the hands of their companions."
The more ruthless Kunsang's methods were, the more Oran could understand the cruelty he had suffered in the Viking region.
"Well done."
Orlan smiled even though he didn't approve.
Kunsang was very happy, only Lord Oran could understand him.
"I've thought of an even more exciting means, Your Excellency."
"Say."
"Mix the "blood eagle" with the "rat punishment". ”
"That's so much fun."
The battle of Wooden Castle, under the manipulation of Orlan, succeeded in making the Vikings in the north focus their anger on Earl.
Two days later, a letter reached Earl Territory.
Earl's body went soft when he saw it, as if his soul had been emptied in an instant.
"How dare he!"
When her daughter Sally read the above letter, she was silent for a long time.
It says that Orlan has declared war on "all" Viking settlements in the north in the name of "Earl", and he will not die!
"Father, we have been deceived, and I think that the messenger sent to His Majesty's place to investigate through the Oran realm would have been discovered and removed, otherwise there would not have been any news by now."
"What to do!"
"He forged a letter and used the name of the king, and he put it in the south of our territory now, if he was in a no-man's land, otherwise why did this Viking army only go north, but there is no news of an attack on County Durham?
We're going to make a decision, father, to negotiate with the Vikings first, and then we're going to expel Oran!"
"Will the Vikings agree?"
"There is a priority, first exchange the land, as long as you get rid of Orlan, and then find a chance to regain the territory."
While the two were talking, another letter arrived, a letter from Orlan, which said that the first battle against the Vikings had been a brilliant success, and that Earl had sent more food and equipment. ”
"Bastard!"
Earl threw the letter into the furnace. Error-free updates @
"Stabilize him first, we can't give anything, we have to plan for the worst, immediately strengthen the fortifications of the castle, these days that bastard has come here as a guest, and the servants who have too much contact with his side can no longer be trusted, gather together to ask, once there is a difference, solve it immediately!"
Sally had a man's decisiveness, and Earl sighed, hoping that God would shelter him one more time.
Subsequently, the information transmitted back to the castle became less and less optimistic.
Orlan is crazy, or rather, he doesn't care about everyone in Earl's territory anymore.
Since Earl didn't dare to go out of the city, the area that was still invaded by the Vikings was to help him govern it.
He had people watch over the three main roads outside the main city of El, and sent a letter to Shi Meng asking him to follow his predetermined policy.
On several occasions, Orlan cleverly arrived with his men before Simon was about to invade the town and village, and took over the manor with the victory of the Vikings.
Join Adesha and accept the allegiance of these manor owners.
And if someone doesn't follow, it's very simple, this must be the female cadre left by the Viking elder, and Oran is solving it after being slandered!
Two weeks after the Battle of the Black Forest, news of Adesha's return to the realm has reached Earl's ears.
Golden Fang and his Viking allies regrouped their men.
Orlan also joined Shimon in controlling the rest of Earl's territory.
At this time, there is only one war left to decide who will be the new master of the county.
To Ao.
For Lan, the best outcome is that Earl dies, and Golden Fang and the others are defeated, and he can control the two counties.
It was even possible to seize land further north, part of Edinburghshire.
After that, he controlled "Shimeng" to make some trouble for the king, and quickly took down the kingdom "North Four Counties". @
The bigger the territory, the faster it can expand.
Oran can't wait for the crown!
Oran's actions caused a shock in North England, but if you zoom in, his methods are a little less difficult than the combined forces of Mercia and Wessex.
On June 15, 865 A.D., the combined forces of the two countries marched towards Kent, and the Viking army of Björn broke out in a great way.
Two days later, the army of the left-faced queen also moved south to help.
Ella and her brother also stopped fighting, but Ella had no intention of going south, there was no impermeable wall in the world, and the Vikings in the north, who were almost out of control, already threatened her rule and the other county lords of the kingdom!
And it all revolves around Oran.
The letters reached not only his ears, but also his daughter, Malm.
On June 17, 865 A.D., the royal court sent back three letters,
One is a letter from Sals to the king when he was spying on Oran in Durham.
One is a confessional reply that King Ella received after questioning Oran,
A greeting letter from a husband to his wife.
This is the second letter from Orlan that Malm has received since the farewell of Dan.
She carefully spread it out, looking at the letter, and all kinds of terrible images appeared in her mind.
When the letter was put down, it was already in tears.
