The subordinates knew less about the deeds of the "Queen of East Anglia" than Orlan, but they were also happy to hear the news of the Vikings' defeat, and shouted in unison, "God bless England!"

The messenger who returned continued to tell the news heard on the battlefield, "This fight, after the coalition forces turned the tide, advanced eastward for a time, but stopped after entering the Kent border, and we have come to an end according to the news from the guild merchants. ”

Of the Seven Kingdoms, only Northumbria, which was divided into north and south, Mercia in the center, Wessex in the south, and Kent in the east, had autonomy.

After this battle, the Vikings retreated to Kent, and the kingdom of "Essex" north of Kent was settled by Mercia and East Anglian soldiers.

The "Sussex" in the south was completely controlled by the "suzerain" Wessex march, and the country was controlled by the Council of the Sages controlled by Wessex, and the young king of Sussex was abdicated, and Wessex basically completed the unification of southern England, and only four of the seven countries were actually left.

Then Delim, who was selected to join the Knights Hospitaller, preemptively patted the sycophants and said, "In my opinion, Your Excellency took the lead in the battle of the Black Forest, killing more than twenty-five Vikings alone, and his bravery is even more worthy of praise." ”

The battle for the Black Forest, boasting under his subordinates, with the acquiescence of Oran, compiled a set of ballads.

After a while, it would spread with wool merchants as far north as Edinburgh and as far south as the Kingdom of Yorkshire (the former royal domain).

Throughout the text, it is sung that Orlan is strong, saying that he galloped ten miles to help, to fight more and less, and rescue friendly troops.

After being surrounded by the Vikings, he wielded three swords with two arms and cut off a hill-like head.

As for how to make three swords with two arms?

Nobody cares, heroes are always different and have to be different, don't they?

After listening for a while, Orlan was satisfied with the result of this big battle.

But in the future, he also hoped that the Vikings would not retreat and continue to fight to the death against the coalition army, and it was best to defeat the south, so that the Vikings in the north could not find reinforcements, and they could quickly encroach on them, and the southern countries would also suffer great losses.

At this time, the means of transportation were backward, and all the places were occupied by different lords, and there were countless checkpoints to pass in the county, and it was very slow to inquire about information, and it was often possible to listen to wrong information.

Orlan ordered him to go down and let the scouts and merchants in the territory go back to investigate.

Oran's words then dispelled the sense of relief from the crowd, as he mentioned "Alfred."

The two are similar in age, and they have no intersection at all.

But yesterday, the threatening letter from the "crown prince" wrote that the arrested young knight of Wessex should "go back", otherwise the surrounding lords will form a siege network against Durham County and defeat Orlan!

This made Oran, who was sitting firmly in the second county and pointing at the throne of Northumbria, angry, and gave the order to continue to enslave the young knight.

"You have all heard that, as the crown prince, he did not run away, he did not rest on his laurels, he led the battlefield alone, and he won the battle.

Two days ago, I received another piece of information that he had recruited all the old troops of the King of Kent.

Earlier, in the coastal zone, Hestein led the first wave of the team to log in, and almost blocked him, what is the 'knight' called?"

It was nearly August, and the increase in life of Orlan Tuotu was reduced to a year, and his head began to hurt again.

But now he is sitting on nearly one and a half counties, as long as this plan goes well, the subordinates will approach three counties, or even more, and the increase in life at that time will be extremely considerable.

"Blowgun Rodvi!" Nanding reminded loudly.

In the left corner of the hall, a knight covered in a mask heard the name of the air gun, and his ears moved sensitively.

A few years ago, he had fought with Rodway once, and the emaciated knight, when he charged, burst out with the power of a giant.

Unforgettable!

But the Masked Knight is also confident that if he competes again, he will definitely win.

"Yes, that's him!" Although Rodway did not stop the Vikings, he collected the old troops along the way, and took more than 100 people to Alfred, boasting everywhere that he was a prince sent by God to save England.

Alfred was also good at managing money and was well-versed in the law.

The clergy liked him for his erudition, the nobles loved him for his bravery, the people respected him for his justice, and his allies thought he was faithful.

You say that such a nobleman should be our enemy or friend?"

Oran's words were obviously off-string, and all the noble knights were guessing.

Some people guessed that Oran wanted to find a step down for what he was angry about yesterday, so he stepped forward and made his debut, thinking that he should be befriended.

Some people felt that your Excellency was dissatisfied with "Alfred's" showmanship and wanted to please Orlan, so they shouted "enemy" and shouted that they would stand outside "the city of London" and smash the king to pieces!

"This group of illiterate people, 'London' and 'Winchestt' can't tell the difference."

Sals was hidden in the right corner of the hall, and he despised the rough men in his heart.

"Winschet" is now the residence of the King of Wessex, the largest city in the kingdom.

And "London" was the land held by Alfred and several large nobles.

According to Sals's thinking, the "dead man" is the most suitable, and the crown prince should not be given a chance to come to power.

Oran listened to the crowd.

said that he was a good friend, but his suspicious and arrogant personality made him feel that these subordinates did not believe in him and were afraid of outsiders.

said that it was hostile, but it was like patting one's own ass, and he had no opinion.

Suddenly!

He found that the faces of each of the servants were almost the same......

Yes, they are slaves and do not need to remember what they look like.

And the nobles look more and more like slaves...... They can only hear one voice, their own voice.

"Let's all go down and prepare."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Orlan didn't let Adesha go, and Sals, who was hiding in the corner, didn't leave with the masked knight.

There are also Titans who are responsible for recording the conversations.

"Come here."

After Oran finished speaking, Adesha obediently stood behind his chair and massaged his head.

Sals stepped out of the corner, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Adesha hated Sals very much, although the two did not say anything, but this person's face was pale, the child's hole was red, and his voice was hoarse.

The handsome face matched such an expression, cold as a moving corpse.

The knight in the left corner didn't move, and Weird continued to stand, his body covered by the darkness of the corner.

"What do you think?" Oran closed his eyes and asked about Sals.

He knew the Welsh, the most known of the British kingdoms of Wessex.

The two places are adjacent to each other, hostile, and bribing each other, and since Sals joined, Orlan is familiar with a lot of news about the number one power in the south.

"Your Excellency, although the territory of Wessex is large, there are also many wise county magistrates, and the county magistrates have great power. The soldiers of each county have a very high degree of local identity. ”

Good-looking romance

"What do you mean?" Orlan asked.

"The magistrates were ordered by the king to come to the aid and appeared on the battlefield. When the county magistrate is defeated and captured, the county soldiers may surrender as soon as possible, and if the county is breached, the county soldiers will not resist hard, but will lay down their arms and return to their homes.

Therefore, when fighting, the first consideration of every county magistrate is how to preserve his strength. The king commanded them that if the demands were too unreasonable, they would do so perfunctorily.

And how could the king tolerate such a thing?

Once the conflict begins, it will lead to trouble.

It was too troublesome to convene a meeting of the wise people at every turn, and later there was a simplified version of the meeting of the wise people - the 'court of the king'. ”

"Isn't it available everywhere?" The Titan said secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask, and continued to listen.

Sals immediately solves the Titan's doubts.

"The court of the feudal lord in Northumbria is local, and whatever the knight or the head of the manor says, it is whatever it is, and if it is more involved, then let the local clergy participate in the coordination.

The court of the feudal lord of Wessex was divided into two levels, one at the king's side and one at the local lord.

Speaking of which, Sals stopped, and Orlan understood that there were many people.

He let the people out.

Adesha wanted to hear it, but Orlan ignored him.

So, the Titans withdrew with her, as well as the Masked Knight.

Adesha walked in front of the Masked Knight, curious, and stopped and turned around, pretending to reach out and take off the mask.

The Masked Knight draws his sword and swings back.

The silver light flashed for a few seconds before Adesha felt fear.

So fast!

The Masked Rider was wounded and coughed a few times and left.

"Who is this man?" Adesha clutched her throbbing chest and left the other side.

In the conference hall, Sals's voice echoed.

"Last time, Wessex led men to attack Wales, mainly from 'Herefordshire' in the north of the kingdom.

At that time, in order to preserve his strength, the Sheriff of Herefordshire never took the initiative to attack before the arrival of the crown prince.

After the arrival of the crown prince, the county magistrate 'Pande' was thought to be deliberately delaying by Alfred, who oversaw the war, and reprimanded him in public, and forcibly took away his command and ordered his soldiers to go on the expedition.

Although the battle was won, it was the 'eldest son heir' of the county magistrate Pande, who was compensated.

The prestige royal family took it away, and the damage Pande enjoyed it exclusively.

So much so that later, on the table of the Archbishop of Wales, a letter appeared betraying the Crown Prince's march movements. ”

Oran didn't expect Sals to even know about this kind of thing, let alone that he would come into contact with such secrets by committing himself to the archbishop and becoming a male favorite and subordinate.

Sals continued, "Pander chose to convene a temporary 'Council of the Wise', and Alfred took the lead and used the order of the king to appoint the commander, saying that he was like the king himself, directly in Gloucestershire, south of Herefordshire, to find the local bishops and gentry, and forcibly convene the 'king's court'.

Later, by order of the king, it was ruled that the son of Pander had delayed the battle plane and died in Wales, and the merit was offset by the demerits, so that the Council of the Magi was forbidden. ”

"It turns out that he is also a utilitarian crown prince who cares about his own safety and interests, not the rumored saint crown prince."

Orlan uttered contemptuous words.

Sals replied, "How can there be a saint in this world?" If so, it must be a fool...... The Wessex royal court used the 'King's Domain' to suppress the 'Lord's Domain' and gradually increased the royal power, which made many county magistrates dissatisfied.

It was customary for the king to convene a council of wise men once a year, at which various important matters were discussed.

And the silent battlefield is far more intense than the battlefield of swords and swords.

Did you know that the meetings of the wise men in Wessex are often accompanied by 'assassination' and 'denigration'?"

Orlan understood, Sals wanted to use the Welsh intelligence network to get the White Eagle Leader to contact the Lord of Wessex earlier.

"Wessex controls the power of Mercia, and Mercia affects the unity of Northumbria, and in the future, if we destroy Ella and send troops to the former king, we may invite the invasion of the Mercians, all of which are closely related.

Your Excellency, you are in the surrounding counties, defeat the Vikings, fight against the king of Ella, and increase the territory, this is 'Liwei'.

Expand your horizons, communicate with the upper-class nobles of other countries, lay out the land in advance, and wait until the time is ripe to make considerable gains, which is 'gathering momentum'.

I have a list of several county magistrates, and I will use your guild merchants to trade in this place first, establish a preliminary communication bridge, and wait for the opportunity.

Alfred was like a big tree compared to his sick brother, but this big tree produced too many sweet fruits, attracting countless insects to covet it, and his brother had recently given birth to an heir, and the kingdom had caused countless rumors because of this child. ”

"What rumors?"

"The rumor that this child was not the son of the king made the king furious, and arrested some poets and drunkards who spread the rumors, and hanged them in the square, but this only made the rumors worse."

"So?" Orlandau.

"Let the king and the county magistrates believe that he is a crown prince with evil intentions, and if he doesn't die, who will die?" Sals stood up and saluted, and retired to get ready.

The next day, from the territory of Earl, the knight Cledon arrived with a message.

This time, he showed up in the open, because he came on behalf of Sally and Earl.

After delivering the letter, he waited for a reply.

Claidon sat in the hall with the inner guard, receiving numerous intimidating glances.

But he didn't pay attention to it, and no one came to find fault.

Oran opened two letters, one from Mrs. Nanbei.

Nanbei's letter talks about how much he misses Oran.

Whether it is true or not, Oran thinks that this is a means for women to seduce men, and the stove in the house is the letter will be the final destination.

However, Nanbei helped herself a lot, and Claiden's ability to take the initiative to tell the whistle had a lot to do with her.

I will reward her with a few manors and keep them like a lover.

Sally's letter is the same expression of love and flattery.

He said that he was willing to commit to Oran, and told him the future movements of Golden Fang and others, as long as Oran eliminated Golden Fang, the gate of the castle would be opened immediately to greet his White Eagle soldiers.

Without Claidon's whistleblowing, Oran would not have believed it, but he would have been delayed by Sally's letter, and then tried to find out the truth, which would have been a waste of time.

But now he knew that he was pitting himself against the Golden Fang, and in the end, she would destroy the one-eared Viking leader named "Haman".

This woman is like a poisonous female spider who uses all the male spiders as food.

Oran thought of his golden hair, lovely and gentle, with a somewhat stubborn face.

This kind of woman, the contrast is too great, and it is a curse to keep it.

He decided to ruin everything for her!

Someone was called to bring pen and paper, write a reply, and then seal it.

After Sleiden took it, he quickly left, giving Orlan a look before leaving.

Remind Oran, the previous agreement.

"If it happens, you will give me the Sally."

This requires, and Oran decided not to break the contract, so the two of them walked together and had company.

……

On the way, Schleiden carefully opened the wax-sealed letter, read it, and reglued it.

He has mixed feelings, on the one hand, he is happy to be able to get Sari, and on the other hand, he is afraid that things will change and he will be beyond his grasp.

When he returned to the castle and handed the letter to Sally, he suddenly froze.

Tell Sally, ask for forgiveness?

"What's wrong with you?" Sally asked.

Sally ...... Miss, if the danger of the castle is lifted this time, can I have every meal with you in the days to come?"

The meaning of showing love was strong, but Sally thought about the content of Oran's reply, as well as Haman's matter, and had no time to think about it, and replied,

"Cledon, you are the best knight I have ever met, and there will be a better girl than me in the future to do all this with you."

This was Claidon's last chance to give Sally, but she still chose to make the man's heart cold in reply.

"I hope there will be a day." Cledon squeezed out a smile.

When he turned to pass, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

Even if the means are low, I want to get you!

Ten years of love, once it turns into unwillingness, it makes people crazy.
