170. Downey's Daughter and Titan
Under the attention of the nobles of the Three Kingdoms, "Joan of Arc" was born.
Thanks to the fact that the Queen of Eastern Anglia did not come, she would not have allowed such a thing to happen with her devotion to the Lord.
Orlan recommended the Holy Maiden to come out, and by the way, he sent a signal to the magistrate of the kingdom under his command who is in charge now!
With the Holy Maiden, the next step is a "small victory" against the Vikings.
Then blow the victory of this battle and launch the book of indulgence.
If everything can go as you think, this picture is too beautiful to think.
At the end of the service, Joan of Arc was taken down to rest, and her house was crowded with people for a while, and the people who had heard the fire miracle wanted to come and see, but were kept from the door.
At about six o'clock in the evening, torches were lit in the valley around the king's tomb.
The soldiers guarding Joan of Arc saw Oran coming, and after giving the standard military salute, let him in.
As soon as Oran entered, he saw Joan of Arc leaning against the wall, her expression heavy.
"What's wrong with you?" Orlan pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Your Excellency, I am not a saint...... I'm going to hell!"
"You relax, you don't have to stand up, you will also be a nobleman in the future, I have already negotiated with the two Majestices, both will give you the title of noble, both are 'barons', if you can defeat the Vikings, then you will be promoted."
"How can I defeat the Vikings, and I don't have any miracles?"
"Didn't you just now, that flame can't touch you at all, it's God's will."
"But the fire, the fire ......"
Joan of Arc knew there was something wrong with the fire, but she didn't know what to say.
"What's wrong with the fire? It engulfed a renegade knight. You are safe and sound, there is not a single wound on your body, you are the daughter of God, Joan of Arc. ”
"I ......"
"Remember, whoever asks you in the future, you are all Joan of Arc, I will send someone to teach you the scriptures, and you will listen carefully when you meditate every day, and you will always hear God's will."
With that, Oran walked out, and then went back to his room to meet Sals.
He had recently returned from Wales and was there to liaise with the local bishops against the Vikings.
As soon as they met, Oran gave him a warm hug and said, "My dearest and loyal companion." ”
It seems that the betrayal of the last time has disappeared.
But Sals knows that Orlan is suspicious and will have to be more careful in the future.
After the two of them sat down, Sals spoke first, "Your Excellency, I have given the Three Kings League letter you gave me to the bishops of Wales, and they have all agreed to support and fight against Wessex together. ”
It was a rare opportunity to bring the whole of North England together and finally to take revenge on Wessex's long-standing repression.
After saying that, Oran told Sals about Joan of Arc, "In the future, you will help her become the true daughter of God." ”
"What should I do?"
"Let her really think that she is a saint." Orlan tells Sals about this and makes him feel like he still believes in him.
That night, Sals began to move, Oran's original intention was to let Sals play his true colors, but Sals's method was direct and decisive, and he worked food.
The Vikings didn't like to use poison to mix wine with lonely, and adding this thing made it easier for her to get close to God's grace in the hallucination.
When she gets addicted, it's almost over......
The next morning, Oran took Sals to meet the two kings.
At this moment, Orlan has entered the center of power in England, and he can see the king at any time.
Sals betrayed Ella and took refuge in Orlan, and was not welcomed by Ella in the eyes of Ella, but now that the Vikings are the enemy, let go of the killing intent on him first, and listen to what he is doing?
Sals told Oran the big news he had told Orlan yesterday.
"Your Majesty, we have a good opportunity to storm Wessex, and Wales will help us as long as we send troops."
"Huh? Let's talk about it. "Bergred came interested.
"We're attacking Herefordshire!"
"Isn't that Pande's territory?" Bergred asked.
"Yes, Alfred had attacked Wales by the means of the previous one, and for some reason killed Pande's eldest son, and the two sides had a grudge, and later at the meeting of the wise men, Pande had a great conflict with Alfred, and almost drew his sword to fight.
Pande was dissatisfied with the crown prince and did not support the king's cooperation with the Vikings, and took the initiative to send a letter to Wales, saying that if the king or the crown prince wanted to attack him, he was willing to raise an army to resist.
After the course of this war, King Mercia knew that he had set up eyeliner for several county governors on the border of Wessex, but he didn't expect Wales to do the same thing, and at the same time he had already won over Pander.
"Pander has six hundred men in his hands, and is in the middle of Wessex, Kent, and Wales, on an important road, and if there is a rebellion here, what do you say will happen to Wessex?"
When the two kings thought about it, they knew how important this rebellion was.
Moreover, rebellion may trigger a chain effect, and the king's policy is not supported by every great nobleman, and if someone comes out to oppose it, a second one may appear.
From the perspective of inheritance, Wessex is divided into two factions, the crown prince faction and the prince faction.
The princely faction was divided into joining forces with the Vikings and rebelling against the Vikings.
Last time, in order to maintain balance, Ethelred appeased Pande and Pan respectively when the two clashed
The crown prince, but Pande did not appreciate it, and he himself did not like the Vikings, and he was already separated from Wessex, so he was short of a safe chance to switch to other kingdoms.
After thinking about it for a while, Bergred made up his mind and said, "Herefordshire was originally owned by Mercia, and it was borrowed by Wessex more than ten years ago to fight against the Welsh, and this loan has been so long, and now the item should be returned to its original owner!"
"Wise choice, Your Majesty, Pande said that as long as we lead people to defeat the county governors around him, we will immediately change the banner and join the brigade against the Vikings."
"Okay, find a nobleman to lead the team."
After Burgred finished speaking, Oran added, "Let the army of East Anglia assist, and send a trusted county magistrate to suppress the formation." ”
"Why send Donnie?" Ella asked.
"It's not Donnie, it's the Queen's men, I have just received the news that the Queen's own team is coming, please forgive me for my rudeness, I think it is not appropriate for the Queen to lead East Anglia again, Your Majesty."
Seeing that Orlan slandered the queen, several people didn't want to answer, so he continued to splash dirty water.
"Although the queen is heroic, but the battlefield is not enough courage, hearing that East Anglia has been breached, she immediately led people back, to fight more with less, not only did not cause trouble to the Vikings, but also the defensive front we arranged, all affected, ignoring the fact that the three kingdoms have formed an alliance, and scattering the risk to the allies, which is irresponsible."
Oran is a bit of a strong argument when he says this, and who wouldn't be angry when any normal king hears that his land has been invaded by a foreigner?
Seeing that the two kings did not speak, Oran continued, "Sir Donnie, I think he is very suitable to replace the queen's command, he is a great East Anglian nobleman, he is from a famous family, and he is not emotional, and he has gathered many remnants of his army along the way and established his prestige. "Belittled the queen and praised Donnie, Oran slowly spoke out his ambitions.
"If the war continues and the outcome is unpredictable, our plan should be unified, and we should concentrate our efforts to let the queen recover Pender's territory and fight against the Vikings, and Sir Downey will do it."
"What do you mean?" Amun the Confessor pushed the door open, and he heard a few words.
After he sat down, Oran explained again, and continued, "Three horses, three coachmen to control the direction, isn't it a bit too much, I think three horses, two coachmen are appropriate." ”
"What if the driver wants to continue to control the horse?" Burgred tentatively asked. He thought, Orlan wouldn't be so ruthless, he really wanted to get rid of the queen, right?
"Wessex betrayed us and let the queen denounce it, we already have Joan of Arc, and the future of the indulgence will be issued, and there is no need for two women in 'military pants' in one camp, and the queen's influence should be weakened.
Sir Downey has already expressed his willingness to lead East Anglia, he is a distant royal family, and his appeal and prestige are sufficient, as long as the two Majesties agree, I will run it. ”
"And if the queen doesn't agree?"
"A woman has long hair and short knowledge, we help her decide!"
In fact, Orlan "respects" women very much, but he knows what everyone present wants to hear, so he can only say such things against his will.
Then Orlan added, "The queen is tired, she should find a gentle and considerate man to help govern the country." ”
Oran's eyes swept over Amon, Ella, and Burgred.
This sentence said the inner thoughts of the three of them, and they laughed heartily.
East Anglia is too weak, or a woman in charge, how can it work?
As an ally, let's take care of her, if you can see the bed, that's even better!
As with Wessex's annexation of the two small states, Ella and Burgred were persuaded by Orlan to get the Queen's idea.
After the negotiation, Orlan left the room to meet Donnie and took the Titan with him.
The Titan was writing a code, and suddenly he was called, and he was still a little puzzled in his heart, isn't this time his rotation?
When they entered the room, they saw that Orlan and Donnie were there, and a girl was bowing her head and wearing a veil.
The veil is the transparent kind, and the appearance can be faintly seen.
It's a very ordinary girl.,And a little baby fat.。
When the Titan saluted everyone, he stood aside alone to serve Oran, but Oran stretched out his finger and pointed at him and said, "Your Excellency Donnie, this kid is very smart, can endure hardships, and can do everything he asks him to do." ”
"Straighten up, I'll see." Donnie looked over Oran's hand.
"Huh?"
The Titan puffed up, trying to make his body look as straight as bamboo.
But his chubby looks, trying to straighten his chest, feels weird, and the girl secretly holds back a smile.
As Donnie's voice fell, the girl took the veil down.
"This is my daughter, Titan." Downey used the honorific title to the Titan, who was somewhat flattered.
But the next words surprised him even more.
Because Orlan said, "Titan, I think you two are a good match, what do you think?" I think you have the same vision as me. ”
At this time, the Titan could clearly see the girl's appearance.
Very ordinary, with a healthy complexion and a little freckles on his face.
Orlan had previously released rumors that he wanted to arrange marriages for his subordinates.
The Titan didn't expect his turn so soon, and he also fantasized about whether he would be lucky enough to meet Frank's noblewoman?
The fantasy is beautiful, and the reality is skinny.
This girl is not what the Titans imagined
of beauty.
In fact, there are so many beauties in the world, this is the standard appearance of nobles!
As a close minister of Orlan, the Titan has already heard what the monarch meant, this girl is very good, and she must accept it well!
Last time Nanding repented of his marriage, the Titan knew that Orlan had started a very big fire.
For he saw Oran slash at the wall with his sword, and said Nanding's name.
The girl lowered her head, a little shy.
In fact, she was not satisfied, but her father's authority was above all else, and in a way, her father was greater than the Lord Christ, and she had never heard of such a thing as free love, and she did not dare to think about it.
Girls prefer the personable, gestured, and beautiful Oran.
But Orlan is the hand of the king, a great nobleman, too noble.
"Donnie, let's let the two of them get along."
"Okay."
Donnie got up and walked out, Orlan followed behind, and the two discussed how to take the power of the queen as they walked.
Donnie also wants to be king, but he is a distant branch and is afraid that someone will not be convinced.
But Orlan said very directly, "Your Excellency Donnie, in the morning in Northumbria, it is all roosters crowing, and East Anglia is invaded by Vikings precisely because of the hens' crowing, and all this is the Lord Christ warning us." ”
It makes sense, Donnie laughs, and Orlan has a treacherous look on his face.
The two bastards are in a cheerful mood, and it's really fun to calculate others,
But Titan rushed out and interrupted Orlan's discussion with Donnie about how to put the queen under house arrest.
Orlan asked Donnie to wait a moment, then approached and asked what was going on?
The Titan grimaced, "Your Excellency, I don't know what to say?"
"Is it so hard to coax a woman? Hold her, push her down, coax her with sweet words, or trick her with future promises.
His Excellency Donnie will soon lead East Anglia, this girl is his third daughter, I have carefully selected for you, her two sisters are not the same mother as her, she is many years older, and she is married out very early.
She raised two younger brothers, three and five years younger than her.
In the future, it is her half-brother who will inherit the title of Lord Donnie, this marriage will immediately improve your status, a man looking for a wife, to see the good character in her heart, looking at the face is the stupidest behavior.
Cultivate a good relationship, give you a day, and if you are happy with each other, then get married immediately. ”
As soon as Orlan said this, it meant that the Titan's wife was already hers, and she couldn't change it.
After speaking, Orlan gave another sweet date, "I'll find you a few women, you can squander your body as much as you like, but don't let me down." ”
The Titan could only say yes, shuffling back into the room.
The Titan and the girl looked at each other speechlessly, and bowed their heads silently.
The girl remembered her father's words, this was her future husband, and after adjusting her mood, she tried to talk sexually.
What she learned in her mind was needlework, scriptures, obedience to elders, respect for her husband, and her well-behaved personality.
As she tried, the Titan gradually cleared her nervousness and began to chat.
Since the girl was born, she has hardly left the castle, and even if she does, she is under the watchful eye of the servants.
When she heard the Titan's account of her tragic childhood, she was so sad that she even burst into tears.
"I'm sorry, I was rude, sir." When the girl saw the Titan staring at her, she turned her face away and wiped away her tears.
The inexperienced Titan thought for a long time, how to push it down?
In the end, I could only hold my face and say, "You look good when you cry." ”
Girl, "......"
The two of them chuckled.
This arranged marriage was set from this smile.
