The lower-level nobles shouted and shouted to kill, and the high-ranking nobles paid more attention to interests.

Amon threatened, Orlan fought back verbally, and then the two kings calmed their men and the scene turned back.

King Bergred then spoke, "I captured a few minor Viking leaders, and they told me that Ragnar should have come for the last Viking reinforcement, but because the ships had not yet been built, we were given more time.

Ella, our hatred should be put aside and focus on them first.

You unite the kingdom, and I form an alliance with Wessex and East Anglia.

Kent has fallen, and the remaining two countries have been annexed to Wessex.

We joined forces, and an England that was more powerful than ever was born, and the Vikings were no match for us.

We have a larger population than they are,

The smelting technology is far superior to theirs,

The autumn harvest is approaching, and they have crossed the sea to fight, and the pressure on food is even greater, but we have more food than them to support the war.

The island is densely forested and swampy, and the Vikings used to grab and leave, and were not familiar with the inland terrain.

Even if Ragnar lands and lays a lot of land, we can get it back in time.

Then into winter, they will have a harder time.

Time and location are in our hands, as long as we put aside the human conflict, even if we exchange four warriors for one Viking, we will kill them. ”

At the beginning, the news of the Vikings' demise of Kent came out, and the kingdoms were shaken.

Even Bergred himself was afraid.

But as time went on, England began to counterattack, and many disadvantages of the Vikings became apparent.

No matter how good the Vikings were and how much they loved Valhalla, their numbers were too small, and thousands of people went ashore, but there were more than a million lords in the Seven Kingdoms.

King Burgred regained his courage to fight.

The last victory also made him more ambitious, so he wanted to learn from Wessex and annex the three southern counties of Northumbria.

But I was a little unlucky, and I suddenly ran into the convening of the North Seon Conference......

After listening to King Bergred's words, Ella agreed in her heart, but still deliberately found a few faults, and scolded the Vikings by the way.

But the atmosphere is getting more and more relaxed.

Then King Burgred said, "Surrender the prisoners, release the prisoners, and apologize before the nobles of Mercia, after which we may discuss the plan of attack, and Kent may give you a portion of the land." ”

King Burgred didn't want to give Lincolnshire a head, he just wanted an opportunity to increase the authority of the kingdom.

The death of a county magistrate will actually increase his control over Lincolnshire, which is not a bad thing.

As for giving "Kent", this is even more impossible, Northumbria is blocked by Mercia from going south, and even if it is allocated to Kent land, it is only an enclave.

Just a country within a country covered by Wessex.

Wessex now has a population of 600,000, according to Oran estimates.

The population of Mercia is estimated to be more than 300,000.

There are two hundred thousand in Northumbria.

After the turmoil in the country, East Anglia, where the queen took office, was at the forefront of this attack on the Vikings, and the largest impact was not more than 150,000.

Orlan is not afraid of offending Mercia, firstly, there is a feud between the two countries, secondly, the difference in strength is still in a situation where it can be confronted, and thirdly, the ingenuity of the position card.

Mercia's worst enemy has always been Wessex.

Speaking of apologies, Ella glanced at Oran.

He is the king, and he is not easy to do, so he naturally has to carry it by Orlan.

And not only the governor of Lincolnshire, but also Ella invaded the two towns of Mercia, and someone had to come out and be punished.

Then the two parties retreated more than ten meters each and discussed their respective bottom lines with each other.

Oran suggested, "Your Majesty, we will not be able to share the land of Kent, but we should take this opportunity to establish a non-aggression pact. ”

"How do you say you signed it?"

"A woman is always a good way to build a relationship between two men from different families, and you should marry another wife from a noble birth."

Ella became interested and let out a "hmm".

"I heard that Princess Hai'an has been sick recently, and it is difficult to control the affairs of the royal court's backyard, and it just so happens that King Mercia has several sisters and daughters, and you can choose one to come to our country."

Hai'an is not sick, but neither of the two men let her go on the stage again.

Using one woman to suppress another woman has an immediate effect.

Oran has also done one thing recently, asking around for "good-looking women".

I want to give the woman to Ella and build an intelligence network.

As a loyal "hand of the king", you must try to satisfy the king's enjoyment and help the king kill people, which is a good vassal.

After talking, the two parties approached again, and this time Orlan reversed his frenzy just now, made an extremely humble gesture, first apologized to Mercia, and then agreed to part of Mercia's request, but slightly modified.

"We don't need Kent, but we want to build a better relationship with your country, and we have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, which makes us, the same Anglo-Saxan ancestor, hatred grow deeper and deeper, and the Vikings are unscrupulous and humiliate us.

Now, it is our turn to take them as slaves, put chains around their necks, and let their daughters go down to the ground for us. ”

The sudden proposal made the atmosphere cold again.

The two parties discussed again and continued to separate.

Thinking that Mercia was unwilling, Ella said to Orlan that maybe this condition could be removed?

"No, Your Majesty, they must agree, Bergred has four concubines, all of whom live in his castle, unlike you who are so loyal to love, and he has many illegitimate children, and he will not care about a female family."

Orlan's expectation was not bad, this proposal was actually not bad, King Mercia wanted to consider it, but Amon told the king, "Your Majesty, if you drive out the Vikings, there is a great chance of a civil war in the Seven Years, Wessex abandoned his promise, and at first promised to help the Kents for free, but Alfred, this kid, secretly gathered the power of the Kent royal family in exile."

Obviously, our country has also made a lot of efforts, but the credit for the war has gone to them.

When the coalition forces were at peace, they bribed the nobles of 'Sussex' and 'Essex', and in a few days, the kings of the two countries became county magistrates!

If Ragnar hadn't come, Wessex might have done something to us.

We watched East Anglia closely, and we were not touched by Wessex, if we added Northumbria, and a few 'Wessex magistrates' that we had already bought.

In the end, our strength is not small, and the glory of Mercia may be reproduced in our hands. ”

In every kingdom, there is always a moment of glory.

"Austrian hegemony", these four words are like ghosts, affecting generations of successors.

After all, who can bear a vassal who once looked at his own face and turned to dictate to himself.

Thinking of the "king" becoming the "county magistrate", King Bergred was also a little afraid.

Many of the county's governors were of royal blood.

It's hard to guarantee that you won't be supported by careerists in the future, and then challenge yourself.

Fuck Wessex!

King Bergred decided to give his most unpleasant daughter to Ella, and to give both.

For most kings, this was the only benefit of having a daughter, as a reward or marriage.

The marriages of the daughters of ten aristocratic families and nine were decided without their knowledge.

The two sides came and went, and the volume of their speech fluctuated.

The soldiers and nobles waiting further behind, holding their breath and being careful of accidents that may occur at any time.

The seventh time the men and horses separated, Orlan spat out a fragrant mouth and said, "Your mother's grandfather."

"Huh?" The nobles leaning in the rear thought they were going to turn their faces.

But Oran embraced Amon warmly in the blink of an eye.

When you don't want to argue with someone, they just slash you, and you can say, "This person is just joking with you."

The quarrel in front of them has already dispersed with the wind, and the two have climbed into a relationship with each other, and finally established a connection with Oran's ancestors in the generation of Amun's "fucking grandfather".

Closer relationships, same beliefs, and the same goals.

Tell me, what is the relationship?

The false smiles on the faces of the two were frozen in the most disgusting state.

With the conditions in place, other conditions can be continued.

In a state where the two sides are lined up with each other's forces, and each side is difficult to eat each other.

In a battle, there are dozens or hundreds of people lost, and there are all kinds of attrition.

Get together, have a meeting, move your mouth, demarcate the territory, and grab other interests first, why not?

Amon looked at Orlan's handsome face and secretly swore that when the Vikings were gone, he would be worse than the governor of Lincolnshire!

Orlan thought, if he killed Amon, how much could he improve his combat experience?
